Often a man with small farm hes

This is illustrated by man on an

THE NORTH
SIDE MEETING
Editor Of Enterprise

Editor OF Enterprise
regret to appear in print ait this
time to refute the article you pub
lished in last weeks issue regardine
the meeting naming G. G Hatfield
as a candidate for one OF the board
for the north end, for the reason that
the writer has been branded as the
Bolshevici in the previous school
elections OF District 81. and no doubt
there are some who viii attempt to
construe this letter as an effort on
our part to start controversy over
school matters this year. However.
II is evident that the author of your
article so distorted the truth with
the purpose to poison the minds OF
the voters and array majorit:
against the North end Candidate.
These accusations. impugning the
motives of Mr. Hatfield. and the mo-
tives of the North end meeting. and
all those present, challenges de
NAL which Truth. Justice and de
cent regard for Fair PLAY, prompts
me to make reply in self defence.
The object OF the meeting was foi
the PURPOSE Of the north end OF the
district getting together and decid
ing upon one Candidate for the
School Board, as it is conceded anf
practieed by the District that the
North end is entitled to one mem
Der on the Board.
The meeting unanimously endors
ed G. c. Hatfield, dlsregarding the
announcement at the meeting that
there had been other men selected as
the north end candidate without CON
sulting the wishes Of the Northend.
In regard to enlargng the North
School by taking in the west half Of
: 9-57, this statement is the reverse oi
the sentiment Of the meeting; In
fact II the District wants to start
trouble, let the Board try to force
upon Town 9-5S this end of 9-57 and
see what develops.
J. In regard to Pooling with the
South end and they In turn helning
the North end with object OF secur-
ing for each new school house and
High school teacher for same, is
absolutely false. One OF the speak
ers at the meeting. (and 1t wasent
Northup) made the statement that
II the North-end expected to elect
North-end man OF their choice. they
would have to pull with the South
end and get their support in turn,
in order to break the Slate that was
being framed by Raymer who would
iaast on naming all three candi-
dates.
1t was the sentiment of the meet
ing that North-end should not die
tate who the South side should put
up for their candidates, but leave to
each locality the right Of SelfdeteI-
mination,
In regard to Rural High School
ter was the only one who mentioned
that subject, and ii was from this
standpoint:-That town 9-5S hal its
local school which had proven far
more satisfactory to the patrons and
successful the past year than being
conveyed to Raymer. That In the
years to come our local school house

FIRST MEETING

evening and organized with Mayor
Allen In the chair and Messrs Quinn
Rasmussen. Norwood. Helmann and
Graves present as trustees. Trustee
kotuoc was detained at home on ac-
count OF not feeling well.
Not much in the way Of business
was accomplished beyond discussion
of some proposed activities looking
to fire protection.
Mr.. McQuown being present was
asked to act as temporary town clerk
and the coucil then proceeded to sc
lect officers which they are required
to I'LL as follows:
Town Clerk +. L. Knapp
Treasurer -------- 7. v Addington
Town marshall was passed over
for the time.
A committee to look after the re-
quired ordinances was appointed to
consist of Messrs Quinn and Graves
On Streets and alleys Messrs Nor
wood and Helman were appointed.
The mayor named as the Finance
committee Messrs Kotouc and Ras-
mussen.
Mr.. McQuown was present and
Submitted an estimate on the cost
OF the equipment that would be re-
qnired to pump out and test the rail-
road well. The machinery. pumps
etc, would cost, together with the
labor for pumping the well contin-
uously for 72 hours. $500.
Arrangements have been made
with Royal D, Salisbury Of Denver,
to act as consulting engineer in get
ting bids for water plant at an ear
ly date. Both Keota and Grover will
employ this gentleman. and 1t is be-
lieyed that II the three towns cen
work together each will be able to
effect quite a saving.
II is of course understood that no
action binding the town to put in
water will be taken until the people
have had an opportunity to express
themselves at an election; but the
work being done will be beneficial
to let the people know what the pro
posed system will cost and what sort
OF system can be secured.
It would seem that election held
under such conditions would be much
more satisfactory than where such
information would be lacking
The engineer makes no charge
for his services providing the people
should vote down the proposition.
The whole matter OF the costs in
CURED will be covered by the advcr.
tising costs for bids in the Denver
papers, and we should imagine that
the information gained would be
well worth this small expense.
Grover will consider the matter
of the town owning and oper ting
10th water works and an electric
lighting plant.

Raymer seem to be agreed that II is
advisable to combine the two sys-
tens II possible. This presents in
the case Of Raymer difficulties of
harmonizing local opinion as to what
should be done with the local plant.
What is fair to both the town and
Mr.. McQucwn?
II 1t possible to be fair to both, to
properly protect the interests of the
town and at the same time save Mr..
McQuown from loss, or even afford
him reasonable profit for what he
has aready done, that is the plan
that should be followed.
The local light plant Is where IL
is without invitation of anyone il
authority to bind the town: at the
same time We should not take ad-
vantage of that situation to cause
loss to the present owner any more
than We should allow the situation
to be used to the detriment of the

Car aupply in the Fairmont region
IS holding up better today than was
anticipated by the coal operators.
Ephere are 1888 cars on the Monon-

were not as many as the mines had
pHdered- Today's cars are clas-
sihed as follows: Open, LISP; coke,
eight. The early morning placement

over from the previous day.
Indications are that the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad will have an eighty
per cent supply, according TO officials
at Grafton. Due to the general de-
1nand for coal and believing that all
the money possible should be earned
while the cars are in The region, most
of the miners in the FairmOnt region
will be at work on New Years day.
Tho men themselves appear to favor
the plan, although there may be some
few who will take the day off as d

end of the first week in January is
given now as the probable date when
