Sewer Bonds Sold.

The sale of bonds of the city
of Baxter Springs to cover the
expenses for building sewers
took place yesterday afternoon
between the city council and the
representative of d. E. Dunno
& Co., at the city building. The
bonds were supposed to have
been sold to Speltzer & Co., of
Toledo, O., some time ago, but
that company turned them over
to the other company.
The new sale means a saving
of several thousand dollars to
the city and it covers an inter-
est of 5 per cent both on the lat
erals and on the main lines. The
bonds will be dated from Nov
ember l and the city will have
a chance to draw upon the COM
pany for money to cover expen-
ses. AS a sign of good faith
the representative of the bond
ing company deposited a certi-
fled check for $1,000.

NO COUNTY AID
ON P|CHER ROAD
County Commissioners Refuse
To Cooperate With Bax-
ter People in Build
ing Permanent
Highway

NOLWlJHoJdiihllib OhS law We
the Cherokee county commits
sioners are elected to impartially
expend the road funds of the
county, the gentlemen OF the
board appear to be wholly blind
to the needs of their constituents
who live or have to travel the
roads in the vicinity of Baxter
Springs. This season practically
no county road work has been
done down this way, and the
commissioners, according to re-
ports, do not even take a friend
" attitude toward any move
ment that is taken Independently
to improve important county
highways. They have refused
fatty to assist in the rebuilding
of the Baxter-Picher road, al
though the county has been ask
ed to stand only a small part OF
the cost, the greater portion hav-
ing been raised by private sub
scription.
Last week The News made
mention of the fact that the
committee in charge Of the work
on this road had gotten it all
graded and partly graveled, but
still needed about 1900 to pay
the cost of gfaveling the last
three miles.
Saturday a committee from
here composed of Chas. Wells,
Scott Jarrett and Ben Malang
went to Columbus to put the
matter before the commissioners
with the hope and expectation
that they would be willing to
appropriate at least a part of the
money needed, since four-fifths OF
the total subscription had already
been raised by private subscrip-
ton.
But the committee was dis
appointed. They got not even a
pleasant reception. The boards
excuse was that they could not
use county money on this road
legally; but made it plain to the
committee that they would not
be willing to help even if it could
be done legally. County Engi-
neer C. M. Cooper took it upon
himself to oppose the idea OF
county aid on the BaXter-Picher
road. Notwithstanding the du-
ties of the county engineer are
supposed to be to supervise the
work ordered by the commits
sioners and not to dictate where
the money is to be spent, Mr.
Cooper appears to have a strong
influence on the board, and this
is directed against Baxter Springs.
What the voters of Baxter
Springs should do is to take the
name and number Of these coun'
ty officials and see to it that q
change is made when the next
election comes around.
This end of the county is COM
ing into its own now, after hav'
ing taken a back seat for many
years. By the time another cleo
ton comes around wewill be in q
position to have something to say
about county affairs.
Whatever the county does IN
the matter of the Baxter-Picher
roed, it is safe to say that the
work is going to be completed
according to plans. The rest Of
the money will be raised by in
dividual subscription the same as
the first fund was secured, ano
the county official may go to-

a deal just closed between G. E.

The Schwartz leases are located
three and one-half miles south

When the rumor of the sale
reached The News Office a repre-

toucn with Mr.. Bell, superintend-

clined to give any information:
From other sources it was learned

Persistent strength was shown in the
corn market today. Local traders took
profits at the time, but there was a steady
absorption OF offerings by commission
houses and the pressure ceased, Business
was rather light
Killing frosts prevailed west OF the
Mississippi river last night and there were
winter temperatures in the American North
west but they had little effect The indif-
ference to the cold weather illustrated how
well satisfied the trade Is that the crop is
virtually all out of danger and that frost
now will put the crop in good condition.

and 1t was said that new corn was being
offered for November shipment at SIPS

COLD-WAVE SCARE
SENDS COTTON UP
Predictions of Low Tempera-
lures Cause Big Jump-De-
mand Active in General
NEW YORK, Oct. s

Predictions of low temperatures in parts
of the belt caused another big jump in the
cotton market today. Demand was active
and general with Liverpool a large pur-
chaser Outside interest was broad and
there was covering by sellers of late last
week. who had figured that the cold snap
would pass over Sunday and that the
weather would be warmer today There
was gossip that mills that had received
Government orders and had been hoping for
a reaction in the staple before buying COW
cred their requirements.
The market opened at an advance OF IL TO
al points. The two principal influences
were a bullish Times and Picayune report
and a cold weather scare.
Yesterdays frosts merely touched the
northern edges of the belt, but strong
and extensive high barometer over the West
this morning, attended by decided drop
in the temperature, gave promise or much
colder weather than any observed SO far
this season.
The initial rise was the signal for con-
siderable selling by room traders, but the
offerings were so readily absorbed by spot
houses and foreign and domestic trade
sources that prices continued to move up
ward and at the END Of the hrst nfteen
minutes were about Sc points net higher.
