Under the most favorable conditions,
1T will be several years before all the

therefore the present roads and

are built Even after that our people
who are NOT; SO fortunate as. 10 live

eenti,led to have all lateral dirt reads
and bridges kept in good condition SO
as to enable them, to reach the hard

stheir proportion Of the bonds, there
fore it is not only an act Of justice, but
their due, that these lateral roads and
bridges be- maintained and new roads
opened; out OF the county funds. This
cannot be done If a large amount OF
money is mixed ia the 4K miles of

atDQcOtahPark
Fourth of JULY

Baseball fans of this city will be
given a are treat Sunday afternoon
when the Aneta Indian team will play
Fadden's boys at Dacotah park. This
Is the feature of the season and has
been looked forward to with great
interest since 1t was first booked, es-
pecially sc since the Aneta boys de-
feated the locals in a game at Aneta
a few weeks ago by a score of S to /.
The Aneta team has been playing
fast ball this season, losing only one
game out of the last nine. Aneta re-
Gently stated that it is in for the
state championship this year and
will play all Of it's remaining games
with added vigor. Grand Forks has
been planning vengeance ever since
the. defeat met at the hands Of the
Aneta bunch and will contest the
game Sunday with the intention Of
winning.
Twenty-Five or thirty auto loads
of Aneta fans are planning to ac-
company their team to the Forks on
the Fourth to help it scalp Fadden's
gang, and two new players have been
secured from the Kansas City club
to make ure of doing the job well.
This is the best game of the sea-
son which. with the fact that 1t ia
booked on the Fourth. should crowd
the bleachers to their greatest ca
pacity.

platform entirely silent on the sub
ject also was still prominently dis
cussed.
Much Depends On Conference.
The platforms course also was de-
pendent today upon h sub-commlt-
tees conference with the full COM
niittee. 1t was thought the sub-com-
mittee's report of progress at last
nights session might develop import
ant discussion at the 10 o'clock ses-
sion today. 1t was expected, however.
| that the full committee would recess
until this afternoon or tonight to
await further word from the sub-com-
mittee.
! So far as the main body of the
mittee found little difficulty in agree
ing. The Virginia platform, endorsed
by President Wilson and brought to
san Francisco by Senator Glass. was
said to have furnished the basis for
declarations readily agreed to regard
ling the general principles of the par
!ty.
Administration in Control.
Senator Glass sat as chairman Of
the subcommittee and his advocacy
of administration policies was second
ed by Secretary Colby. A majority of
the other members were regarded as
administration supporters n the
chief objector to the blanket endorse
ment of the League Of Nations desir-
ed by the administration was said to
be Senator Walsh. who voted in the
senate to take the Republican reser-
vations.
Some Of the administration mem
bers were said to be for outlining di-
rectly in the platform the sort of res
ervations that should not be consider
ed as multiplying the league covenant,
while others wanted merely a blanket
declaration for ratification without
~"destructive'' reservations. Those who
argued for a bill of particulars. de-
clared one easily could be found in the
speeches of the president last fall
when he told many western audiences
he would not object to reservations re-
stating what ne considered already
was in the covenant.
The 'eTroubie-maker."
The platform committee members
considered most likely to start trouble
in the full committee were w. J.
Bryan, Senator Walsh of Massachu-
sets, and Bourke Cochran of New
York. All of them we're left out OF
the little circle Of nine. and al OF
them had ideas that, they said, the
full committee and perhaps the on
vention itself. would have to consider.

be waged for an affirmative dry dec
