H0DSON APPEALS
TO HIGH COURT

The last chapter in the Hobsoa-
Stanford county seat case was start
ed last Saturday when attorneys for
Hobson filed with the clerk Of ths
court here notice Of appeal from ths
decision of Judge William e. Carroll
to the supreme court With the me-
tice of appeal was filed the usual bond
in the sum of $500. endorsed hy
ten or fifteen residents Of Hobson-
1t is understood that the plaintiff has
sixty days in which TO prepare tia
necessary papers, have the brief
printed and complete the appeal.
The law permitted six months in
which to take the appeal from the
district court and this time would
have been up yesterday. From now
on, it is pointed out by attorneys, the
matter will have to move more rap
idly and 1t il expected that the case
will go to the supreme court withouG
any further stalling or unavoidsbls
delay. However. 1t will take sonns
time to prepare the papers and fila
them when the case will be docksted
and come on for argument in its rag
ular turn. 1t is stated that the su-
preme court is completely caught up
with its docket, which II so, means
that 1t will be possible for the case to
be heard within the next six or nine
months.
Judge Carroll's decision granting
the permanent county seat to Stanford
was filed on March i2. In his decision
Judge Carroll fixed Stanford's major
ity at 10 votes, or one less than ~
official count, not considering the
West Garneil precinct. He found il
legal votes in the number Of six for
Stanford and five for Hobson were
cast At the county seat elsction-
Aside from these Illegal votes, tbs
three paramount issues involved wsrs
the counting of the West Garnsill
precinct with 33 votes for Hobson and
five for Stanford, the legality Of tha
absent voter ballot applications and
the application Of the apportionmsnt
rule. On these questions Judge Car
roll ruled that the West Garneill pre-
cinct should be counted; that the ab-
sent voter ballot applications were le-
gal, and that the apportionment rule
could not be applied where no fraud
had been alleged, much less proven.
and where voters acted In good faith
and were challenged on the grounds
Of irregularities on the part of Of
ficials charged with the duty Of dis
tributing the absent voter ballots.
While the papers have not yet been
'iled it 10 expected that the battle in
he supreme court will center around
he apportionment rule and the legal
ty Of the challenged absent voter
,allots as these are the only ques-
ions that could materially change
he results.-Judith Basin County

The bridge is in bad shape. Each
day those crossing ii can notice some

a few days at least it must be closed

should be closed at once before q

RIGHT OF WAY

After inspecting the bridge Wed
nesday County Commissioners Barker
and Kommers left for Eden to I'M
spect some work while Commissioner
Johnston and County Surveyor Day
went to interview the owners Of the
land over which the Orr Couiee road
win run.
1t was his purpose TO make final
offer to all for the right of way. If
this offer is not accepted, condemna-
tion proceedings win be started at
once because the commissioners feel
that it is for the best interest of the
county at large that the road should
be- built up this coulee and thus avoid
the heavy and dangerous hill on the
east aide.

throughout the state.
Pumpkins of 70 pounds weight, sun.

the yield of wheat was discussed.

Judson Burrows showed several
kinds of field corn and was agreeably

Many were disappointed at seeing
no displays from the Raynesford and
Kibbey districts as well as Lower Belt.

GREAT NORTHERN
OWNED BY MANY

Millions of men and women thruoui
the Northwest and other parts of ths
United States are interested vitality
and personally in the profitable oper.
alton of the Great Northern railway
because they are among its owners
and are partners in its operation and
development, it is emphasized in q
statement by Chairman Louis w
Hill of the board of directors.
Many persons realize their interes,
in the success of the railroads because
of their dependency on them for the
transportation of freight and passen-
gers but undoubtedly there are many
who are unaware that they are part
ners, and owners in sense, although
they hold none of it's capital stock
shares, said Chairman Hill. Among
the latter are the millions of holders
of life insurance policies and depos-
itors in savings banks. Their pocket
books are affected directly because
most of the large life insurance COM
panies have money invested in Great
Northern securities, he pointed out.
When the railroad is prevented from
selling its commodity-transportation
at reasonable profit, then the in
vestment of these men and women is
jeopardized.
Answering the question, "Who owns
the Great Northern?" Chairman Hill
said:
There are outstanding 2.404, ,73O
shares of Great Northern stock, Of
the par value of s1O0 each. Each
share represents an equal ownership
in the property of the Great Northern
railway and each share has an equal
voice in all stockholders meetings,
including those for the election of di-
rectors.
''On December 81, 1922, these shares
were owned by 44,314 men and women
in all walks of life, and by organiza
tions and institutions. There were
24,416 men shareholders. 1918 wo-
men, 1916 insurance companies and
miscellaneous corporations, and 169
hospitals, charitable bodies, religious
and educational institutions.
Distribution of these holdings is
wide, 28,449 holding from one to 20
shares each and 12.579 holding 20 to
100 shares each. Only 1926 held
more than 100 shares each and the av-
erage holding was only 56.2 shares
each.
Dividends have been paid on this
stock since 1891 and from 1900 to
1921 the dividend rate was z per cent
per annum. In 1922 this was reduced
to 5A per cent and in 1923 to 5 per
cent. Many persons in the territory
served by the Great Northern are
among its largest shareholders, and /
therefore are affected directly by its /
ability to pay a return on capital in
vested.
Most of the large life insurance
companies have money invested in
Great Northern securities. Therefore,
nearly everyone who holds a life in
surance policy, and many depositors
in savings banks. are partners in the
operation and development of this
railway, and their livlihood is partly
or wholly dependent on its ability to
pay

LONDON, May Isl have been
asked to say what benefits British
business expects from having the
advertising convention of 1924 in
London.
The answer is, 1.-THE benefits. that
can always. be expected when live
men exchange ideas
But there are wider aspects of the
case for holding this convention In
London.
America would see England
through the eyes of men trained to
observe and to describe what they
see, men whose mission 1t Is to COIL
vey to the great American public
business messages that build pros
perity.
We feel that England would be
seen in true perspective by these
men and that reports would be car
ried back which would make for a
warmer understanding and friend
ship between the two nations.
In a mtRe practical or, technical
sphere the visit would stimulate in
terest in advertising in this country.
In America papers and magazines
are read as much for their advertis-
ing as for their literary matter.
Here advertising has to fight for
every ounce of interest taken in 1t.
The wide publicity given to the
meetings and discussions would con-
vey to the British public sense of
the Importance and value of adver
Using as a means to the better dis
tribution of products and the cheap
ening of production.
What would the visitors gain? If
a knowledge of British business
methods and customs, an insight
into British mentality. visits to the
great British Empire Exhibition and
to British industrial centres and
beauty spots are worth anything
they would return with a load of
valuable impressions.
With these considerations before
them / hope the members of the
Associated Advertising Clubs will de-
eide to make London the venue for
1924. If they do so they may rest
assured of hearty welcome to Lon.
don, with every opportunity to mako
their convention a record in the his
tory of the association.

NAPOLEON'S BAY MARE
FOUND IN DUSTY CORNEF

PARIS, May 15.-Napoleon's bay
mare. which he is supposed to have
ridden at the battle of Waterloo.
has just been discovered among the
miscellaneous odds and ends OF the
Louvre Museum.
After the fall of Napoleon the
mare was bought by an English
man named Gleaves, who kept ii
until it died and then had it stuff
ed and presented to the Manchester
Natural History Museum in 1912.
From Manchester the stuffed ami
NAL found its way to the Louvre,
no one quite knows how. when or
why, and was relegated to a dusty
corner, where it was forgotten
until some curious antiquarian un-
earthed it the other day.

BOYS BASKET BALL CHAM
pI0NsHIP STILL UNDECIDED

We are informed that we were in
error last week In assuming that
Buckingham had forfeited the cham
pionship Of Northeast Weld to Keota
The Enterprise has no wish to
misstate the matter. Both teams
look alike to us, both good. and we
had heard that the Tie was to be
played of at Greeley since the ref
cree could not reach Grover when II
was scheduled to play In mid-week.
In this we assumed, It seems more
than was warranted.
The two teams were tied at the
end Of the season.
The two teams could not agree
as to place where they should play
the deciding game. One team want
ed to play at Grover, the other at
Raymer. When they failed to agree
conference Of the coaches decided
to leave 1t to an outside party. This
party decided to flip a coin and the
Grover adherents won. Both teams
went to Grover ready to play, but
the referee from Greeley stalled by
a storm at Briggsdale could not ne
gotlate the journey. The proposal
to play at Greeley did not appeal to
the Buckingham board with road
conditions as they were, so the Keota
team was allowed to play In the tour
ment on condition that II they won
there It would not count unless they
should also play and win the tie from
Buckingham
