the county seat is moved. The Pop
lar advocates, who favor keeping the
county seat, the forty thousand, and
the "other valuable considerations
at Poplar, will no doubt insist that
the amount will be needed to pay
rent, whereas they offer a building
free. Let's see how the cost of the
Poplar and the Wolf Point PROPOSE
tons compare over a period of five
years.
The Cost at Wolf Point
Ignite coal is abundant and near
by, and low prices prevail on large
contract lots. Electricity is cheaper
in Wolf Point than at Poplar land
the service is continuous and excel
lent Wolf Point water rates are
low.
A careful and conservative esti-
mate, based on the experience of
those who have operated the Coli
scum building, places the cost of
and heating the building at
1900 for a year. But to be safe
let it be put at $1,000. The rent will
be $3.50. Occupying the building
as a paid and not a free tenant the
would not be required to
make repairs on the building proper.
But lets play safe again and allow
5000 for incidentals. So we find the
Cost at Wolf Point
Per Year
Heat, Light and Water - $1,000
Rent, court house complete 1880
Incidental ---- 200
Total $3.50
1t is assumed that the cost of JAM
or work would be the same but the
work would be much easier in the
lew Wolf Point building, an all
,ogether county plant, than it is at
present and might, therefore, cost
esa.
The cost at Poplar was found to

be for one year, $6,548. The diff
ference between that and $3.50 is
s2,868- Multiply this for the Swear
difference and the result is The diff
ference in favor of Wolf Point.
$14,34O.
The very nice court room would be
a source of revenue to the county,
as it would be in demand for numer-
Gus purposes. This income would
more than offset the county invest
ment in the walls of the present
county Jail and vault.
AS To Jail and Vault
Let us evade nothing but provide
for all essentials, such as heating
plants, jail and vaults. If the county
seat stays at Poplar a new, or re-
vamped heating plant will be an
absolute necessity. They have been
talking about it already. This at
the lowest estimate would cost
$4,000. This brings the excess cost
at Poplar for five years to S16.S4O.
A new jail would have to be built
at Wolf Point. The records say the
present Jail building cost $4,297
and it can certainly be reproduced
for less money now But play safe,
always, whether allowing for costs
or voting for. a permanent county
seat. Say a new Jail building with
the old fixtures value $8,859) in
stalled, would cost $4,000. Then
make a liberal allowance for a new
vault, to receive the present fixtures,
of $4,000.
The last two items make $1,000
to be deducted from the Poplar ex-
cess of $16,84O leaving $9,84O for
the five years.
That Mileage Matter
The Poplar campaigners proclaim
loud and often that it would cost
$1,000 a year for the mileage of
and jurors who came the
% miles to Wolf Point. The
amount is just about as wild a guess
IS the $4,000 stab, but let it stand.
But remember that just about half
is many jurors and witnesses would
lave to go the same distance the
way if the county seat is left
It Poplar (and eventually quite as
nany) so the $1,000 must be cut to
500.
Now, $500 a year for five years
S $4,000. This amount must be de-
Iucted from the Poplar excess of
%, 84O, leaving $7,34O. .

STUCK TO HIS RESOLUTION
Story Reveals Eirmness of Character
Of the Great Japanese Statesman,
Marquis Okuma.

The late Marquis Okuma of ia
pan, while talking with group of
politicians shortly before his death,
was asked by one of them who, in his
opinion, was the most dreadful man
In the world, and his reply was "One
from whom you have received favors."
The great statesman of Waseda
when young, was never able to exec
in handwriting, try as he might
though he was remarkably good at
brain work. Ashamed Of this, with
characteristic stubbornness he deter
mined that he would never again take
up brush to write. Once Keiu
Nakamura, prominent scholar of Chi
nese literature. to try this resolution
Of Okuma's, called boy and said
go and ask Okuma how to write the
Chinese character 'Shoku'" The boy
came up to Okuma and did as he was
told. To help him Okuma took out
brush and ink and sheet of paper
and he almost began setting the let
ter down, when he suddenly recol-
lected his resolution.
Immediately he dropped his brush
on the floor, took the boy near the
fire and showed him how to write
the character in the ashes with a
poker.

HERE WITH AFGHAN BEAUTY
ked-Haired Huntress Arrives From
Asia in Company Of Retired Brit
ish Army Officer.

When the White Star liner Adri-
ntic arrived here recently from tour
of Mediterranean ports there was ON
board one Percival NJ. Fielding, a re-
tired army captain of London, and
Tazldah the beautiful, said recent
issue of the New York Tribune.
II was in the hills of Afghanistan
that the captain first met Tazidah. She
was chasing gazelle over the snow
covered hills. Her red hair streamed
behind her in the breeze. Her easy
grace attracted the attention OF the
captain.
Later he came to know her better.
He gave her sweetmeats. From that
time on they were inseparable. Be
fore long 1t was common sight at
the inn to see the captain smoking his
dah's lovely red hair with the other.
When the captain left the hills of At
ghanistan Tazidah went with him.
Tazidah had unusually large feet,
but in her own country no one ever
thought Of them in any other than an
admiring way They were hunters,
those people, and Tazidah was Il hunt
ress. Her feet were of invaluable
service to her in pursuing ga
zelles. Being as they We're. big and
fiat. they acted as snowshoes. They
had been big from the day of her birth,
and were looked upon by her country
men as rare inheritance.
Tazidah stood on deck. rejoicing in
the sloppy weather. To be sure, the
snow was more diluted than that to
which she had been accustomed. But
1t was snow, and that was the main
thing. She yearned for the sight of a
gazelle.
Are you going to enter in the dog
showY" some one asked the captain.
II don't think So" he replied. But
she's rare dog and fast on her feet.
Eth? Oh, she's an Afghan gazelle

HOOVER KNOWS RUSSIA

secretary HOOVER'S emphatic
- endorsement of the American
stand toward Russia ought to dispel any
foreign hopes that there would be re-
versal of that policy. Mr.. Hoover IS
thoroughly familiar with Russia and it's
people, and for that reason it had been
hoped abroad that should the United
States take part in the allied confer
ences he would be the American repre-
sentative, apparently with the thought
that he would be more in sympathy
with the allied views. Mr.. Hoover has
shown that he stands solidly with Presi-

Money In Street Music,

Never were SO many bands in Lon
don streets as now. Some are, or sup
posed to be, formed of unemployed (;
others, perhaps. spring from pure
desire to make our lives melOdious.
This music seems to be profitable. At
Marlborough Street police court a
member of street band charged with
obstruction was said to be making
more than Fl (S35) a week. From a
Musicians union comes the comment
that this Is no uncommon sum; and
that street musicians have been known
to refuse places in theater orchestra.
As they would earn there from f3
los ($175O) to "a las ($23.50), they
have reason.-London Times Weekly.
