drawn out milt of that county In an en-
diavor to rrover from Quite county one-
half the cost of the e ration of a bridge
across Turkey creek on a county Una road.
This stilt seems to have had Its Inception
In the Informal, conversational and star
chamber methods often adopted by official
boards and the system adopted of doing
public bualnesa without making any au

point where It crosses the line from the
former to the latter. Ten years ego a

Atigunt of that year, through the Joint
artlon of the Bnllne county commissioners
I and the Gage County Board of Supervisors,
a contract was entered Into with H. T.

for years. Corn Is quite backward and
many fields are weed-choked, but It haa
made wonderful growth for the past
several days. In the eastern part of the

ports are very favorable. Hundreds of
