Proposed New Salaries.

According to the bill which has been
introduced in the legislature and which
it is generally believed will pass, the
salaries of most county officers of the
state will be materially raised. The
increase, however, does not effect the
salaries of those now in Office, but will
be paid to the next officials elected.
Where the officers are also paid fees
the salaries will only be paid in case
the office earns it. The following is
the schedule for Prowers county
Sheriff $2SO0, Clerk S24OO, Assessor
s24OO, Treasurer $25OO, Judge s27OO,
Supt. of Schools $500, Commissioners
5000.

MASONS MEET
4 Lodge Gathering of The Fraternity
COnfers Third Degree on
Class of Three.

At a special communication of La
mar Lodge No. 80, A. F. e. A. NJ, last
night the third degree was conferred
on a class of three consisting of Alva
Deeter, William Smiley and Glen Kirk
patrick. The latter as the last of the
three victims was just finishing as the
hour of eleven struck and agreeable
to an ancient custom in such cases
made and provided and adopted in all
regular and well governed lodges from
time immemorial, it became his duty
to wind up the clock and put the goat
to bed. He insists he got through
with the goat all right, but he climbed
a ladder to wind the clock-just as he
used to do in the First National Bank
and fell just as he did there and hurt
his knee in exactly the same place
Anyway, he is laid up today. and if
anyone questions his story of the affair
the only further information they can
get is that at is none of your darn
business anyway" There are those
who intimate that he had the clock
down on the floor, but had forgot
about the goat-but be that as it may,
he ate his share of the fine supper
that was served and was voted by the
crowd to be dead game sport.

Wins Old Suit.

C. W. Beach, who was appointed as
division engineer for this district in
place of E. r. Chew by Governor Carl
son in 1915, has just been awarded
the place by the supreme court. Mr..
Chew has been holding the job and
drawing the salary ever since. while
Mr.. Beach has not had even a nibble
much less a chew of the pie. The sup
preme court has not solved the pro-
blem of just how Mr.. Beach is to get
his money back from Mr.. Chew-as
in all probability 1t is already chewed
up. These matters will most likely
furnish food for another four years of
lawing and rag chewing.

PARIS, April 3.-The publication
here of summary Of a dispatch
from Berlin giving the contents Of

mann has produced q marked effect
on men closely in touch with the

feet:

are directly calculated to raise doubts
among the strong church adherents
in Poland. southern Germany. Italy,

Blow at Unity Of Nations.
Far from being the rawlings of an
irresponsible maniac, they appear to
be a well directed blow at the unity
of the nations now engaged in franz
ing a peace to the disadvantage Of
Germany.

slider the church and state as sepa-
rate and distinct entities. are not pre-
pared to plunge int the ramifications
Of the European political game. in

element is entirely lost sight of
