THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , JUNE 26 , 1908. Reply to Grinstead. Falls City , Neb. , June 22 , 1908 Mr. K. E. Grinstcncl , Salem , Ncbi Sir : In answer to yours of June 12th , will say that nothing was ever finished without a start. My idea was to get business men and land owners to discuss the condition confronting1 them by high water and { retting worse every year , to see if some conclu sion could not be arrived at where by prevailing conditions could be improved. You seem to slur at ever } ' item. I understand vour intentions to be that the world should stop revolving until you get to work at your pet proposi tion , ditch. There is not a man in Richardson county that has advocated and talked .more favor ably for the ditch than I have. I would like to see it started at once. 1 stand for good roads , also for the ditch. I will attach a clipping from an eastern paper. This should convince you that something will be accomplished if taken hold of with good inteti- tions : Governors ot forty states and mayors of more than one hun. dred cities were expected at the national good road congress which met in Chicngo yesterday , the day preceding the Re publican national convention. Prominent citizens ol this and foreign countries interested in the improvement of highways will gather to discuss the best methods of consolidating nation al , state and municipal effort along this line. The delegates at the convention will number 500 of the men best known in the history of highway improvement during the past three or four de cades. They will represent all classes of opinion. Another similar meeting will be held in Denver beginning July 0 , immediately preceding the Democratic national conven tion. It has been deemed a more effectual way of advancing the movement to hold separate ses sions in such a way as to attract attention of the leaders in the councils of both big political parties. National aid in the improve , ment of highways will be strong , ly advocated and much of the discussion will center in the best way to enlist federal assistance. The National Good R'oads Congress is chartered under the laws of Illinois , and its objects in its incorporation papers are declared to be the association oi all interested in a national move ment for good roads. The board of directors consists of ; Presi dent. Arthur 0. Jackson , Na tional Good Roads Association ; vice president and treasurer , Martin Dodge. National League of Good Roads ; secretary H. H. Gross. Farmers' Good Roads League ; assistant secretary , F. G. Soule ; F. C. Donald , chair , man Central Passenger Associa tion ; J.ames Coursen Bartholf , ex-Governor N. J. Bachelder , master National Grange , and Congressman George A Pearre and William Sulzer. The chief executive of every state and every city of any prominence has been asked to assist in the move ment. Horseman. Now your answer. You insinuate that I was try ing to mislead the public with an idea of getting government aid through Mr. Pollard ; you say he could not if he would and would not if he could ; this is not true. In a gentlemanly like way , in which he answered that the gov ernment engineer he sends , should co-operate with the County Board of Supervisors as to the best method of improving roads. I belieye he meant what he said and I don't believe that for a money consideration could he be induced to divert a ditch nor do I believe if he owned bottom land would divert ditches for his per sonal benefit. In your letterproject No. 1 , you are a prevaricator when you say that I advocate a road on stilts. Your project No. 2. Not one man , but one that has ditched so long that some of the gray matter that should be in his head went down the ditch would think of such an absurd idea. Project No. 3 ; I have always t favored the plan , but it alone will not make good roads and I am not in fayor of the world standing still till you get ready. All the aid that we ask for this , that the bounty Board of Supervisors only pay annually about $800. Why don't you say $8,00 and not about SSOO , some people might con strue that soon as you would add inothcr figure which would be $8,000 , and further if by some nere accident , you should be elected to legislature , which , how ever , I think just as impossible as your two millions item , are you sure that you would not favor a bill , putting the entire cost on the county. As to the other towns in the county , I don't be lieve there is one so badly hemmed in by high water as Falls City and further I don't believe there is a man in Falls City so selfish as to begrudge them any assist ance ? foi the betterment of their conditions. Now in conclusion , you want : he people to bow down and wor ship you. I think that the people will find out later that the halo you seem to think is hovering over your head is nothing but a piece of bailing wire. Respectfully , CHAS. II. HIUNKMAN.

Farmers south and southwest of Stella are heavy losers from a disease some call cholera , while others are inclined to thing it is a different nature Amel Merit * has lost 150 head , of which 12C were pigs. He now has seventeen head. James Hopper has thirteen hogs lefti and of forty pigs not one is alive. J. D. Veal had the disease among his herd both last fall and this spring and now has but nine head. W. T. Chism has lost a large number of little pigs. WinMcMahan , too , has been a heav'3 * loser , his loss inclusing some seventy pigs. The hogs at the Hopper farm went blind , would stagger around and finally choke to death. Some of the farmers say it may be pneumonia. Stella Press. Mrs. S. L. Bowen.of Wayne , W. Va , , writes : "I was a sufferer from kldnej disease , so that at times I could not gel out of bed , and when I did I could not stand straight. I took Foloy's Kidnej Remedy.
