COUNTY
PICKING
EXPERTS

The county commissioners,
prosecuting Attorney Remain and
Special Counsel j. T. S. Lyle today
the coming condemnation suits for
the army post. The statement is
as follows:
Since some misunderstanding
seems to exist as to the method of
acquiring the land for the army
post, we deem it advisable to clear
up once for all the many errone-
Gus Impressions which seem TO
prevail.
prior TO the bond election it
was publicly announced that a
Pierce county jury would have the
final say as to the price to be paid
for every tract of land acquired.
No deviation from this plan has
ever been contemplated.
at is our desire that each own
er shall be paid exactly what the
land is worth.
ITO accomplish this purpose we
propose to engage men of such
experience that their judgment as
to the value OF each tract of land
will be so thoroughly grounded on
such sound facts that a jury will
feel satisfied to rely on their state
ments of valuations. 1t is our pur-
pose to have the valuations made
| by these men so fair that any land
owner may feel secure in permit
ting his case to go to the jury on
the evidence of the county alone
ut will be readily seen that to
get men who have the qualifica-
| tions to stand up under the test
will require much careful selec-
ton and it will probably be three
or four weeks before any appoint
ments are made. Since best re-
suits can be obtained by a small
number of thoroughly competent
men 1t Is our desire to limit the
appointments to the smallest num-
Der possible.
mo valuations have Ms yet been
made and will not be except in the
manner above indicated. Any ru-
mors to the contrary now in cir
culation are without foundation.
There are some 500 tracts in
the reservation, so that much pre-
liminary work will be required to
get all the data assembled and
classified before the cases are
actually tried. Thorough prepar-
alton means speed in finally dis
posing of the whole matter"

AN IDEAL PROPOSITION

The movement launched by group of our progressive townsmen, having for it's purpose the taking over of the Potter Hot Springs, on the Potter homestead, north of Clifton, strikes us as an ideal proposition. Among those interested in the project are Sam Abraham, O. J. Cotey, Kral Schade, R. R. Stephens, c. F. Pascoe and others. While the plans have not been completed as yet it is understood that natatorium will be built and the park and grove on the Potter place converted into a modern playground. A country club and golf course is also being considered by the promoters.
 Something along this line is certain ly badly needed in this district. The plans provide for a large number of private baths and showers for those suffering from any of the ills for which mineral waters is recommended. The plans also provide for ladies' lounging room, dressing rooms, sun parlor and all modern conveniences, including smoking room, billiard room, lockers, etc.
