There arc ten road districts in
Lincoln county that have no quali
fied overseers. The law provides
that poll tax may be sworn off if
citizens are not notified to work the
same. It also provides that three-
fourths of the road tax may be
worked out. The question has
arisen in the minds of some as to
whether or not the road fund will
suffer the loss of tax and parties
escape working poll tax in the event
no overseer qualifies to give th
necessary notice. uvcrsecrs can
qualify any time between now and
the first ol October and it would be
well lor tue citizens 01 tlic vunons
road districts to give this matter
some attention. There are thirty
road district books still in the
clerk's office ready for overseers.

Directors' Meeting.
The board of directors of the Y.
M. C. A. held their regular monthly
meeting at the Y. M. C. A. parlor

made of the amounts donated for
the remodeling and renovation of
the association rooms. It showed
that $100 had been donated by the
Keith estate, $225 by the Dillon
estate and $285 by citizens, Tile
latter amount was largely raised by
personal solicitation by the mem
bers of the finance committee. The
membership committee asked for
the appointment of another person
to serve upon it. The report of
this committee showed that forty
new members had recently been
added to the association.
The devotional committee re
ported that the Sunday attcruoon
devotional meetings had been re
sumed. It was decided to have a
union service at the rooms Easter
afternoon. A new constitution was
presented and acted upon. W. M.
Cunningham made a very brief but
lorciblc address to the directors
upon the need of more aggressive
association work and suggested
various ways in which the rooms
might be made more attractiyc.

W. M. Ilinman has recently been
notified that the court of claims
has dismissed one of his Indian
claims amounting to over $7,000 be
cause the members of the c tirt
have, decided that the evidence
shows that the Indians who com
mitted the depredations were
hostile. As this is the court of
last resort as far as Indian claimB
arc concerned this claim of Mr.
Hinman's seems doomed unless the
amendment, which Jb now before

even those for damages by hostile
Indians, is passed.
