COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

The county commissioners have been
all this week in regular monthly
session, but aside from allow
ing about the usual number of claims
against the county have done little but
discuss road matters and listen to the
appeals of taxpayers for better roads
in the various portions of the county.
Mrs. Margaret Station complains that
in building road adjoining her ranch
the commissioners neglected to put in
culvert where one should have been
placed, and as a result when the water
now backs up against the road AMI
then runs over or cuts through, it runs
on her ranch to her great damage. The
commissioners will probably 90 out to-
day to inspect the property and figure
out some way to remedy the trouble.
Just as the commissioners and all in
terested parties were rejoicing over a
much needed road up Red canon, the
board having already let the contract
to Dick Prendergast for the construc-
tion, comes Mrs. Mary McNulty and
declares that the road shall not be
built over her land unless the county
dads see fit to make reimbursement to
the tune of $1,000 just what for she
fails to state, as the portion of her
land which would be affected by the
new road lies above the Glenwood
ditch and Commissioner Newton does
not understand what use the owner ex-
poets to put the ground to unless she
expects to raise Angora goats or Bel
gian hares.
Gater Mrs. McNulty, through her at.
torney, reduced her offer TO $500 provid-
ed the commissioners would build a
certain amount Of fence. This offer
was also rejected by the board, The
commissioners Iselizs thu great need OF
the Red canon road aud they are ready
to build it, but they are not ready to
pay out county money for permission
to build as there are too many portions
of the county where the people are
anxious for better roads and are ready
to meet the commissioners part way, at
least to the extent of furnishing rights
of way.
1t is probable that nothing further
will be done toward the construction
of the much needed Red canon road.

A REAL FRIEND

The life of Andrew Eberhart passed
out in darkness at the county hospital
but he was not friendless, at least ona
had remained loyal to him through
many years of adversely. Mr.. Eber'
hart was an old timer and while blast
ing an irrigation ditch about fifteen
years ago lost his eyesight. 1t was
then John Breuss, his friend of long
standing, came to his aid by procuring
the services of an expert ocenlist, bdt
the sight had been completely destroyed
by particles of rock and dirt and there
was no hope for returning vision.
He became an inmate Of the county
hospital where he died Monday. Nj.
Breuss came at once from his ranch
home below Silt to again show what
true friendship means and the remains
of his lonely old friend were placed in
his care. Funeral services were held
at the, Schwarz mortuary by Rev. T
D. McMartin and burial took place in
the Glenwood cemetery.

and REASONABLE utterances and to aid
the federal service in the investigation
of suspicious characters, were received
today by the Denver government

utilized in cooperating with the secret
service department.

Washington, April 6.-The resolu-
tion declaring that a state of war ex-
lists between the United States and
Germany already passed by the senate
passed the house shortly after 8 o'clock
this morning by vote of 373 to so.
President Wilson will sign the reso.
luton as soon as Vice President Mar
shall has attached his signature in the
senate. 1t formally accepts state CT
belligerency forced by German aggres-
siveness and authorizes and directs the
president to employ the military and
naval forces and all the resources of
the nation to bring war against Ger
many to successful termination.
Without roll calls the house rejected
all amendments, including proposals to
prohibit the sennding of any troops
over seas without congressional author
ity.
Passage of the resolution followed
seventeen hours of debate. There was
no attempt to filibuster, but the pacif-
ist group under the leadership of Dem
ocratic Leader Kitchen prolonged the
discussion with impassioned speeches,
declaring their conscience would not
permit them to support the president Is
recommendation that state of war be
declared.

AGAINST COMMISSION

Glenwood held an election last Tues
day. Did you hear about it? Nor
Well, it was void of excitment and al
most void of interest, even candidates
being very little in evidence during the
day-except-in some cases. The
weather was quite disagreeable, and
yet, notwithstanding this fact, about
600 of our citizens ayailed themselves
of the great American privilege of re-
lieving their minds and giving express
sion to their thoughts through the me-
dium of the ballot.
The result was by 70 means a decid-
ed victory for either side, the Inda-
pendents winning KiTwan for mayor,
Dougan and Mccoy as aldermen and
Canady for clerk, and the Democrats
getting the balance.
The attempt to cali a charter COR
vention was defeated by a vote Of OVER
two to one, the voters thus indicating
that they were not sufficiently informed
on the subject and therefore preferred
to vote against the movement for tho

BORAH AGAIN TO
TRY FOR SENATE

Senator William +. Borah Of Idaho
will be candidate for reelection to
his present seat, says the Spokesman
Review, While the senator. who arriy-
cd In Spokane Saturday night from
washington, refused 20 make any
definite statement Of his candidacy, In
response I'd direct question he would
not deny that there was strong
probability that he would make the
race. but refused TO be quoted directly
until after he had conferred with
friends In Idaho regarding the matter.
II am under obligations to number
of my friends who have urged me to
be candidate, and must talk over the
matter with them before / reach any
definite conclusion or make any state
ment," said the senator when seen at
the Davenport.
my present plans are to remain in
the west for a month or six weeks,
unless congress should fail to adjourn.
If, however, new matters of legisla-
ton are taken up it will necessitate
my return to the capital In about three
weeks. / viii leave for Boise In day
or two, and IL possible will visit the
northern part of the state before leav-
ing for the state capital.
