WORST BLIZZARD
OF THE SEASON

About the hardest storm OF the
winter visited this section the latter
part OF last week and extending over
until the first part of this week.
A heavy rain and sleet began to
fall about II o'clock Friday night
This changed to snow early Satur
day morning and continued to fall
until night with the wind rising
about noon and by night we were
having a regular old "stem- -winder"
The wind continued to blow all day
Sunday and Sunday night, although
1t was not very cold at any time.
Monday morning it began to snow
hard again and continued until noon
when it stopped showing, and about
O'Clock the sun came out to put a
crust on the snow. 1t Is estimated
that about foot and a half of snow
fell on the level. 1t was disagree
able while 1t lasted and will make
bad roads for the next few weeks,
but 1t will more than make up for
1t In the bushels per acre this fall.
Main street is drifted more than
we have ever seen It before, some
OF the drifts being as high as n
mans head. The Enterprise force
was obliged to shovel the snow off
OF the windows Monday morning in
order to get any light into office.
Tuesday morning a rotary snow
plow was sent from Sterling, fol-
lowed by the train. It reached Ray
mer about six o'clock after much
hard digging, and got only as far as
Grover where they spent the night.
There were two engines on the plow
and in places the engine on the train
was necessary to get them through
the drifts, as the snow was very wet
and heavy. The train stopped only
a few minutes and brought only
mail
Yesterdays papers told OF five
deaths in the state from exposure te
the storm, but the toll of death in
| the southern states from tornadoe.
was something near 200; while de
struction Of property was up In tn,
millions.
In Colorado, the value Of tn,
storm to crops will be far greater
than any prperty loss to stock from
the storm.
The truck system at the schoo
has been entirely out of commission
all OF the week SO far. and It woul,
seem as II the routes could not b,
resumed for several days to come
or course, this time OF the year
vast quantity Of snow can be con
vered into water on short notice.

CITIZENS WILL BACK
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS

The meeting at the school Thurs
day afternoon a good number of pa
irons and citizens were present to
see what could be done to support
the boys and girls clubs that wished
to organize.
Something like eighty Of the chill
dren had signed up for club work.
including cooking. sewing, pigs,
poultry. and corn.
The opinion seemed general that
II 1t were possible, the leadership
OF such clubs should devolve upon
some one with more time than the
volunteer citizen could devote to the
matter.
The ideal plan was thot to be for
a teacher of agriculture to be add
ed to the school faculty, and hired
for the entire year. The member
Of the school board present said that
this plan would probably appeal to
the people, II the present levy would
be sufficient to hire such teacher,
and one of unquestioned ability
could be obtained.
He said that he would not like to
see II start with a weak man at the
head of 1t. for fear of failure, and
that failure would mean discontin-
uing the work perhaps and difficult
to start the work again for many
years.
II Is likely that this matter will
be brought up at the annual meet
ing which is only about ten days
away now. II the proper man can
be secured, we believe that no wis
er investment could be made than
to hire such an instructor
The present unrest cannot al
ways continue. and we predict that
when things settle down to normal
the farmer will have come more
fully into his own than ever before
in the history OF the country.
Higher priced land Is going to
demand higher intelligence in cul-
tivation. and we will be wise to re-
cognize the fact.

GLEE CLUB PROGRAM

The Ladies Glee Club of the State
Teachers College who were to have
been here at $3.50 last Wednesday
did not arrive until about four
o'clock, but altho hungry and tired
gave us number one program On
account Of car trouble they could
not get here sooner As it was so
late so many who had intended to
hear them went home expecting they
could hear them in the evening.
They were expected In Sterling at
O'Clock, therefore as soon as get
ting something to eat they left for
there for the evening,
We hope they can give us another
program in the near future.

Gated temporarily. When this was
determined. which could probably
not be earlier than May next year.
the commissioners would have to
arrange for rooms for the officers and
the records. and purchase the neces-
sary books for keeping the records.
What rents would have to be paid
we can only estimate. Probably We
should allow for twice as much as
II cost Mofiat county. and make the
rental $500. per month. or $4,000
per year.
No set Of commissioners would
think OF building anything expen-
siye at the temporary county seat.
seat. The election for the perman-
ent county seat would not take place
until the general election in the fall
OF 1922, unless the present law
should be changed.
Then no town would become the
permanent county seat unless 1t re-
ceived majority OF all the votes
cast, at that or any subsequent cleo
tion. 1t could be temporary county
seat on pluality. but 1t would re-
quire a majority to become the per-
manent county seat Assume that
some town receives majority of
the votes and is determined upon as
the permanent county seat in the
election OF 1922. the earliest pos
sible date. The commissioners would
then arrange for permanent build
ings. II they wished to go beyond
what money was raised by taxation,
they would have to have any bond
issue they might wish to float ap-
proved by the people at an election.
They might set aside small levy
each year, renting or doing as Crow
ley county has. build a Jail and make
room In that for county business to
be transacted This could not take
place before about three years from
now. and we could have saved at
least $4,000 on road tax in that
time, for the best VIE can get prom
ised from Weld county is less by
$4,000 per year than we would
have with the same road tax il we
had county of our own. Crowley
county jail cost $4,000. but we
will allow for increase In costs since
then and say that 1t will cost us
twice as much, or to make 1t ample
we will just put in the saving on
road fund for two years.
We can then take our time for
selecting a more convenient season
for building the, court house.
It will be seen that we do not
need to build all at once, and that
We would be very foolish to attempt
any building worth mentioning In
less than two or three years.
For salaries of county officers. II
would depend upon where the coun-
ty was classified to some extent, as
to what we would pay. Clerk and
Recorder and Treasurer would re.
ceive their fees only. Some OF the
other officers we're the same, but
there have been many changes In
this regard lately.
Formerly most Colorado county
officials were upon fees and could
not get more than their fees. II
was then quite easy to figure what
part Of the salary would have tt
come out OF the tax.
The last legislature passed a Law
providing that the salaries of coun.
ty officers should be paid out of the
county fund and the fees collecte,
and deposited.
In making comparisons, with 9th.
er Counties, Pawnee county should
probably be classified as a count,
Fourth Class B.
Assuming that this is correct. thu
salaries would be as follows:--

Total S13,S00
II We took the classification of
Fourth class A. about $4,000 more
should be added, as most of the
$500 salaries are $2,100.
Just how much fees returned to
the county by these various offices
will amount to we can only guess
We know that in many OF the coun-
ties. the fees more than made the
salaries and left these officers to
turn a balence into the county treas
ury.
Let us assume that they will not
make more than a third, and leave
the county to pay salaries up to
$4,000.
II we do this we have then the
following for the first yearse ex-
pense:
hental IOr rooms b,UVU
Salaries for officers 10000
Record Books 1900
Total s27,500
That is a little more than we paid
last year, $4,000 less than we will
pay this year. We would assume
that we would probably find 10000
expense that we have not covered
above, although we believe we have
made liberal allowance for rent and
record books.
We believe that the fees will be
much more than we have allowed.
At the same time we could easily
reduce the road levy, while We made
slight increase in the levy for the
county fund. and make the total
tax for the county fund less than
what we are now paying.
An idea has been suggested to
avoid transcribing the records.
Crowley county 1t will be noticed
did not go to this expense. We have
not up to the present been able to
secure more than guess as to
what this cost will be. Six years
ago, II our memory serves us cor
rectly. one of the abstrat companies
estimated 1t at not to exceed 10000
dollars. Some say that it might go
to four times that amount now, but
that is only a guess.
II the cost OF transcribing the re-
cords has increased $4,000 in six
years, that one item alone has cost
us $1,000 per year for delay.
However. Crowley county did not
have their records transcribed. We
have had this idea suggested to us
We understand that one Greeley Alb.
stract company has advised that
they would be willing to establish
branch Office at our county seat;
that they would start set of books
with the organization OF the new
county and that they would have ths
first part OF the abstract made al
Greeley and the last part at theil
branch Office.
1t would seem that this would bt
a very sensible plan, and could be
tried out and II satisfactory, there
would be no more records to trans
cribe after year or two, and thu
labor would not be any higher, per
haps less.
II that plan were to be followed
the items listed above would covel
our expense for the first year.
However, II we should wish Il

need of praise by attributing, in no
small part, to their work in the recent
election.
"a total republican vote for the
assembly of 1,115,OO0 against approx
imately a million for the state ticket
the year before; a clear plurality in
an off year of 100000 against approx.

the party all comprehensive, they
found in it the aims and aspirations
of their most ideal organizations; they
found it was the party Of achieve

distinguish between innovation and
progress. Today they demand, when
lawlessness is bold and attacks are
made upon our cherished form of gov
eminent, that our legislators shall de-
fend the foundations of our liberty
before they become absorbed regarding

the state to the hunter who kiiledaathe
elk in Montana and left the heads for,
mounting with local taxidermists have
been refused under a ruling made by
Game Warden6J. Z. DeHart, accord
ing to local game officials. This rul-
ing is basedaon d construction of the
state game laws which prohibit the
shipment of game after the season is
closed. Local taxidermists have mount
ed many heads and express compan-
les demand permits when, they are

cordingst to attorneys, may arise from
the ruling which, in their opinion,
could not be made to apply to mounted
heads which have been used as inter-
iior decoration for years and changed
hands several times, therefore, it
could not apply to mounted heads,
killed lawfully, which they contend
are no more game than the ancient
decorations of walls.
