Although the number of influenza
cases reported in Rutland and the
health district which embraces that
city is still quite large there is reason
to believe that the worst of the cpl
demic is over and that from now on
there viii be steady decline in the
development of new cases. While the
epidemic there has been slight as COM
pared with the epidemic in many places
of late 1918, it has been Of sufficient
fearfulness as to warrant great meas
ure Of relief at the improved situation.

who have retired from the Wilson cab

right into splendid opportunities for

kus- pokus'' deal there has bsen
: Hundred thousand Dollar Bond
Issue sprung on the people Of !.
this county. It is claimed that
the money is to be used to build
. high school building at Chey-
enne Wells.
No one seems to know just how
this came about. but as near as I
can learn. some bond company in
Denver was the main promoter
of the scheme; at least their rep
resentatives were present at the
time the deal was pulled of.
The County is already burden
ed with taxes. and l hope every
body will have paid their 1919
taxes before this election comes
off, as the increased taxes Of this
year will give you an idea Of
what increased taxation means.
This One Hundred Thousand DOL
lars is not all you will be taxed
to pay for; there will be an annu
al maintenance tax Of many thou
sands of dollars that will grow
from year to year.
Now. If Cheyenne Wells really
wants a high school building, 1
am sure no one outside Of there
has any objections.to her building
one. but there is no good reason
why the balance of the county
should be taxed to pay for it. If
the county has to pay for it. why
build it at Cheyenne Wells? Why
not at Wild Horse, Kit Carson or
Arapahoe? l don't know Of any
law that says it has to be built at
the county seat. If we have to
pay for it, why not vote on where
it will be located?
am sure that when any Of the
other towns in the county get
ready for high school that
Cheyenne Wells will not be will
ing to help pay for it. If l am
correctly informed not one of the
counties around US has a county
high school. (They did not have
the nerve to ask the county to
build it for them.)
At the present time there are
just nine pupils from Arena west
attending the county high school
For the additional cost it will put
on that part Of the county from
which those nine pupils come, we
could take the money and send
those pupils to Europe and finish
their education, and there would
be enough money left to take
care of each years increase for
the next ten years, and by that
time we hope all the towns in the
county will be ready for a high
school.
This is q very important matter
to the taxpayers of this county,
and every taxpayer that is en-
titled to vote should make ar
rangements to get to the poles
and vote this measure down.
There are no funds available to
hire automobiles to get the voters
out that are opposed to this meas
ure, SO it is up to you. On the
other hand. / underst tand that the
Bonding Company has agreed to
pay about all the expenses of the
election. and have agreed to fur
automobiles to bring in the vo-
ters that are favorable to the
bonds.
This is a contest between the
Bonding Company, a few people
at Cheyenne Wells, part of the
high school board, and the tax
payers, SO it is your duty as q
taxpayer to see that you go to
the polls and vote it down so hard
that they will never have the
nerve to bring it up again.

headquarters of the league stating
that one of our promoters had at
