Crop Conditions
 Are much InaprOUed

The pretty weather that has pre- vailed in this section for the past two weeks has brought about won derful change in crop conditions in Lee county. Every farmer has had every available hand at work clean ing out the cotton and corn, and with the warm weather of the past ten days the cotton crop in partic- ular has shown very satisfactory improvement While the crops are all late, due to the excessive and protracted rainfall, conditions gen orally are about what they were this time last year. Some planters clain their crops are in better shape thar they were last year, while other: are not so good. But with another week of fair weather the situation will be very encouraging.

ENGINEERS FOR
 ROAD DISTRICT 
L. C. TORRENCE AND E. U. STEVESON OF LITTLE ROCK, EMPLOYED TO DO THE PRE- LIMINARY WORK.

At a recent meeting of the board
 of commissioners of Road Improve
 ment District No. 2 of Lee county l.. c. Terrence and k. U. Stevenson we'll known engineers of Little Rock
 were employed to make the prelim- mary surveys, draw the plans and specifications and make estimates on the cost of construction of the system of roads provided for by the special act creating the district. The commissioners have held many meet ings during the past three or four months discussing various proposi- tions submitted to them by engin- eering firms who wanted to handle the work in Lee county. Investiga- tions have been made into the quail fications of all engineers whose propositions even approached the price the commissioners felt they could afford to pay for the work. In practically every instance the engineers wanted to take the work on a percentage basis, and on this basis the lowest cost of making the preliminary plans. surveys and es- inmates would run to S25,O0O or $30,000. The commissioners felt this range of prices was wholly out of proportion to the amount of work to be performed. A deal was final ly closed with Terrence and Steven son to do the work on a salary ba- sis, the commissioners to furnish the extra labor and equipment nec- essary to make the surveys. It IS estimated the total cost to the dis trict will not exceed $10,O00.
 Work on the surveys is to be started at once and by December 1, it is hoped to have the plans and specifications and estimates of cost ready for filing with the state high way department, as required by the provisions of the law. After this has been done it will be up to the taxpayers in the district to decide whether or not it will be wise to proceed with the construction of the system of roads. If prices on mater ials and labor al that time are at all reasonable it is presumed the commissioners will feel justified in beginning construction work. IT not, the awarding of contracts will be postponed. If majority of the tax payers think the project should be abandoned they will be given ample opportunity to so express and the commissioners will be governed by their wishes.
 The commissioners, at the last and at other meetings, state they want the fullest publicity given to every act of the commission. They realize they are handling a public proposition involving the ex- penditure of public funds and they have no disposition to make any move without acquainting the pub lie with it's nature.

came down with heavy hand on
Claude Chapman, against whom he as
sessed fine of $50 or 80 days for vio-

ordinance passed by town council n

fined $25 for disordcrly conduct on
the streets of the town Monday, July
10. and as in the other case was given
the alternative of 80 days
The cases against Chapman were
the first heard by recorder OFT and
for this reason and because the fine
laid in the speeding case. If convic-
tion followed the hearing, was eN-
pected to establish precedent which
the recorder would follow in dispos-

was crowded when the cases against
Chapman were called, between so and

JOHN G.. ANDERSON FOR COUNTY
COMMISSIONER, 3RD DISTRICT

John G.. Anderson, better known to
his old time friends as Chris Ander-
son, lives in Ferndale township, and
is a candidate for county commission
er. Mr. Anderson has resided in the
county for 81 years.
On the goth day OF June, 1888. ac-
companied by one companion, Mr..
Andersen left his old home in Mem
docino County, Cal, and arrived at
Bellingham Oct. 8, having made the
trip with four horses and covered
wagon.
Mr.. Anderson's first undertaking
in this county was a contract recelv-
ed from Judge Hiccock, then super
intendent for the B. B. and B. c..
Railroad, for 10000 ties, the first
ever cut in the county, for the con-
struction of that railroad. The ties
were cut where Elk and Holly Streets
are now. In the same year, Mr.. An
derson took up a presumption lain
near Delta, where he lived for two
years, during which time he did much
towards opening up the roads in that
district. particularly the one running
to Blaine, as Blaine was the nearest
way out, Bellingham being too far to
reach with volunteer labor.
! After disposing of his holdings at
Delta, he located two miles north OF
LINDEN where he also helped out
the drainage and road problems of
that district. Mr.. Anderson has been
very active along the line of roads,
bridges and drainage construction in
this county having built approxim-
ately thirty miles of roads, three
miles of bridges, and has constructed
three drainage districts, including
lowering Wiser Lake about six feet,
and built several of the principal
streets of Bellingham. He followed
! logging for a number of years, and
has been employed by some of the
/ largest firms in the county as timber
cruiser and log scaler and buyer.
| Mr.. Anderson. with his family, has
lived on his farm for the past eight
years in Ferndale township, during
which time he has taken an active
| interest in all community and town.
ship affairs. He has the experience
and practical knowledge that coun-
ty commissioner should have. He is
on to his job and should be elected.
Vote for him!
