The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1925-05-26

For the year 1923 there was issued
in county warrants a grand total OF
$80,988.1l. OF this $63,Ol7.o4 was on
roads account.
For the year 1924 there was issued
in county warrants grand total OF
08,99137. OF this $7O,956.43 was on
roads account.
For the year 1925 up to and includ-
ing April there was issued i'll county
warrants a total Of 3l,676.25. OF this
S20.94079 was on roads account.
In explanation it is but ta1r to state
that when a county warrant is renew
ed and not paid at maturity the amount
is carried forward as part OF that
months expense because the warrant
is issued for. same even though not
to be paid until later date, and IN
fact covers some old debt not in that
months account.
An itemized list OF each months
expenses, the purpose for which paid
and the fund against which the war
rants are drawn is kept, and we are
practicing as rigid economy as is prac-
teal and at the same time maintain
first class roads.
On account OF rains washing away
bridges we had to buy a large guam
tity OF lumber, and TINS has added
considerably to expenditures, as all
lumber has been paid for except as
shown hereon.
Our plant and machinery will be
inspected by your honorable body, and
is worth more than the Indebtedness.
Starting with the handicap OF indebt-
edness and our expenditures about
equaling our income keeps us in debt
and forces the borrowing OF money
against current expenses. Respectfully
submitted, E. H. STAPLETON,
Chairman Board OF Commissioners.

the ground, while my horse went on.
Ono day a party of us went down
the canyon to visit and inspect the
small quartz mill at the Dakota
mine. It was a long walk, which we
heightened still further on re-
turn, by. crossing the GrasshOpper,
and climbing the mountains.
For my mother, my cousin, Miss
Darling, and myself, our chief am
usement was reading anything and
everything that came in our way.
There were no daily papers; no mag
azines, and the few eastern journals
arrived infrequently with news a
month or two old. The scanty sup
ply of books belonging to one person
was seemingly augmented through
exchange, and these represented as
great a variety of tastes as there
were owners. This lead to no same
ness in u reading. One man was q
deVOtee of Levers novels; another
found delight in Eugene Sues ''The
Wandering Jew" while still another

favored 1.-THE Spectator" From COW
er to cover I devOured the last,
which few thirteen year old girls of
today could be induced to read Un-
der any circumstances.
There was no lack of excitement,
however. Almost every week brought
it's thrilling story of a stage
robbery, or a hOld-up of individuals.
Then there was the interchange of
news between Bannack and Virginia,
this, and frequent local shooting af-
trays kept social life in a ferment.
With the session of the first legis-
lature came the arrival of members,
and those who had measures they
wished to see passed. OF our no
women accompanied them, as is
common today at our state capitals.
These men were either bachelors, or,
if married, their wives had not yet
reached the Territory.
The houses that were large enough
to accommodate them then had many
guests, and the time was passed in
conversation, storytelling, or in
cards, euchre being the favOrite
game, as whist was held to be too in
tricate for the average person to
master its rules. All sorts and con
ditiOns of men came together al

a neighbours boy was not so FORUM
ate as my sister, for he met his death
in the swift current.
There remained nothing for the
women to do in winter, but stay in
doors, and perform their time-hOn-
Ored duty Of keeping the hearthfires
burning; then, as earlier, no light
task. When spring came, and it was
safe to venture out of doors, the
strange flowers tempted them to
make short excursions, and with sum-
mer came the berries, also of vari-
cites hitherto unknown to US. Once
we went as far as the Rattlesnake to
pick goOseberries, and there had
abundant proof that the stream de-
served it's name.
The younger girls sometimes took
horseback rides into the surround
ing country, always with an escort. Il
they owned no fashionable riding
habits, they wore long skirts, and
] rode on sidesaddles. Both Of these
last were denominations in the eyes
of anyone who valued safety First.

the mountain in front of our house,
but parted company with it in max
ing the giddy descent. Sliding on
the ice over the Grasshopper consti-
tuted one of the ehildren's pleasures.
Once my little sister broke through
into the swift stream beneath, but
her rescue was affected by my young
er brother and an Indian boy who
had been adopted by a miner. AS
they drew her out, the Indian boy
admiringly exclaimed, "WainO hand, ="

Would Be Investment
Declaring the appropriation need
ed for the project was not money to
be spent, but money to be invested,
the senator said:
''The best economy is that which
brings the best return" Only a few
million dollars is needed for the pro-
ject and if money is to be %apprOpri-
ated mot a man, woman or child in
the United States would know that
their taxes had been raised five
cents"
Senator Frazier, North Dakota
said cheaper rates in his territory
were necessary, and that the Missouri.

only outlet.

for the time-being forgot their an

One or two public dances given
while the session was in progress,
helped to enliven the community.
Everyone attended except the rough
element. Square dances had the
preference, and were called off by
someone with a strong voice. The
waltz, schottish, and polka, we're the
other dances, if the lanciers and Vir-
ginia reel are included in the square
dances. The floor was neither smooth
nor waxed, but this did not detract
from the pleasure of the dancers. Re-
freshments must have been served,
but I have forgotten what form it
tOOk-probably cove oysters, crack
ers and coffee, all of these being
luxuries. There was 10 uniform
standard Of dress; all wore their best,
, whatever that might be, and among
the men, patched clothing was pOpu~
lar, nor were the wearers held in less
etseem because of their poor attire.

Congressional support of the
movement to make the Missouri
river navigable as far north as
Montana was urged by senators
and representatives attending a
luncheon recently in Washington
under the auspices of the Missouri
River Navigation association.
Ten states which would be directly
affected by the project were repre-
scented by a congressional delegation
and arguments supporting the plan
were offered by spokesman from
each state. States included in the
project are Missouri, Wyoming, Mon
tana, North and South Dakota, Ne
braska, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma and
Colorado.
Would Reduce Rates
Senator Reed, Missouri, declared
that for the first time he had noted
real interest in the Missouri river
navigation problem. He recalled that
when a resolution for development
in Missouri first was discussed in
congress its proponents had beer
scoffcd at and the same opposition
he asserted, had developed against
the Missouri proposition with its ad
vOcates looked upon IS dreamer
and ideaIists.''
Making navigable the Missouri, thc
senator continued, not only would af
feet states directly bordering it
banks. but would reach people fur
Their inland who would gain access

HIGHWAYB0ARD
TO USE SC0RIA
IL Miles of National Parks
Road to Be Improved

Golden Valley and Billings coun-
ties will be aided by the state high
way commission in improving the
National Parks highway through the
Bad Lands, it was decided by mem
bcrs of the commission upon their
return from trip to those counties.
Under an informal agreement
reached with Golden Valley commits
sioners, II miles Of highway will be
put under federal aid construction
which, in addition. to federal aid
work already done, will give the
county federal aid highway from
east to west county lines, on the Red
trail. The commission has agreed to
share the expense of building 20
miles of highway on the National
Parks highway across Billings coun-
ty, because of the Importance of the
highways, the difficulties of con-
struction in Bad Lands and the diff
ficulty Of the county in completely
financing it..
1t is planned, according to mem
berS, to use scoria, the red burnt
clay material found in abundance in
western North Dakota, in surfacing
the highway Members Of the com
mission were much impressed with
a scoria surfaced road in Montana,
west of Beach, which they Travelled
over on an inspe ction trip.
The members Of the commission,
including Governor Sorlie, Commits
sioncr Of Agriculture j. A. Kitchen,
Chief Engineer w. G.. Black, I. J.
Moe and Herman Hardt conferred
with commissioners and citizens of
Billings and Golden Valley counties
on the trip. Mr.. Moe declared that
with scoria found in abundance,
western North Dakota should soon
have one of the best systems of high
was in the state. He had praise
for the attitude of citizens in the
two counties toward the good roads
movement.
