should take an active interest In this
and get word to the farmers In your
district OF your willingness to assist
them In securing and furnishing them

WEST END WANTS ROAD
Solomon Objects to Worst Highway
Record

Solomon Tribune: A week or so
ago we had occasion to make 80
mile drive. The only really bad
strip of road we encountered on this
trip was the stretch between here and
Abilene. AS we Travelled over the
miles of hard surface between Abb
lene and Junction City we thought
how fine it would be if the west part
of the county had similar road. For
some weeks there has been talk Of
graveling this particular piece of
road but to date they seem to be no
farther along than when they started.
There is no argument but what gravel
would be an improvement over what
we would have but with the travel it
carries it would not compare favor
ably with hard surface. And with
federal aid it will cost but little more
than gravel

Business in the office of the clerk
of the district court showed a
marked increase today when four
suits were filed.

the city Of Solomon, asking judgment
for $3.50, alleging that amount is
due him on q verbal contract entered
into in April, 1920, by which he was
selected as engineer for the city water
works system. The petition states
that the total cost of the system was
$4,000 and the contract was that he
should receive 2 per cent Of the cost.
This however, was rejected by the
city commissioners and he was paid
but $500. He seeks judgment for
$3.50 additional and costs and attor-
ney fees.
Frank Leslie Co. has filed suit
against VIM. Stevens Tailoring Co.
for $50, alleging it to be due for ad-

CITY TANKS ARE LEAKING?
Herington Has a Solution to Myster-
i0us Oil Well

Herington's mysterious well from
which two gallons of oil can pe
pumped at a time has lost its mystery
according to the Sun. 1t says:
"Supt. Tasker says that in digging
around the old cistern used by the
Light and Water department for the
storage Of fuel oil, he has found evil
dence of leakage and as the wells
showing oil are down stream from it
he wouldn't be surprised If the own
ers of the wells should find fault with
the city for spelling the water in
them, against which the city might
bring claim for the value of the oil
pumped out of them, IL it shows the
city's brand on it.
1T Is now reported that similar
oil has been pumped from well at
the Young property next south, and
from the Adam BOerger well south
and west on Fifth street, both Of the
new showings being towards the city
oil tank"
