Enclosed find check for two years.
We have had lot Of cold weather and
snow. That extra you put out was
certainly good and showed what you
are doing there. Land here is very
high, selling as high as 5000, an acre
and we are not raising as good crops
as you folks are down there. / can't
see why people should pay such high
prices when they can bay land that
will produce more for a years inter
est on the money invested in a farm
here-but they do. But some day
land at Roy will sell for just as much
as it does here now. We thought
few years ago that $40 an acre was
high for land but those days are past.
/ am also pleased to see your Masonic
Lodge is doing SO well there.

These are just few Of them, but
they cheer us up when we get peevish
at the drudgery Of getting out the pa,
per all alone week after week. There
is so much of good to tell that W.
never can get 10 because Of the rush
and drudgery Of the shop work tina
we sometimes feel that we are no
getting the whole answer, but thee
letters are surely encouraging.

LaWlessness

At the meeting of the Village Trus-
tees Monday evening, a number Of
matters of Importance to the welfare
of the town were taken up and han
died without gloves. Some Of the
mistakes made in the past were re-
viewed and the lesson caught by them
measured up for future use. The fact
that Roy he's been free from disorder
and dissention since the closing of the
saloons, that drunkenness and its fol-
lowing of crime, profanity and OBJ
scenity and other nasty subsidiaries
to booze, was noted and the recent
outbreak of drunkenness and disorder
was made the subject of careful ana
earnest thought.
| Steps were Gaken to practically get
at the root of the eviIs-BOoze boot
legged in by enemies of society or
manufactured from the most danger
GUS ingredients by social and moral
perverts who have less regard for their
own lives than for their depraved ap-
petites. The resolution appearing in
this issue is issued as a warning in
the hope that the parties who are per-
lpetrating or fostering this carnival of
lawIessness to desist before the large
majority Of law-abiding citizens take
it into their own hands to end ia 4
manner that will be effective if it is
necessarily harsh on the violatOrs.
We have had little or no need for
a marshal for a long time and but for
the introduction Of booze would sell
dom have need of a peace officer. A
warning Of this kind needed will save
a lot of trouble and expense and should
be needed.
The fact that packs Of dogs of all
kinds colors and sizes have been roam
ing the streets for some time to the
annoyance disgust and danger to the
people Of the town, was called to the
attention of the Trustees Monday ev-
ening. 1t was ordered that the dog
tax be collected and all untaxed dogs
destroyed and the others restrained
from being public nuisance and a
number Of volunteers have offered to
help with the determination of some
hundred or more superfluous dogs in
town. If you value your dog, pay the
license and restrain him from being
a public nuisance.
