gineer is to be appointed bv the
State Highway Department to
make a resurvey of the Old

Of course, however, and as a

and no sensible man thinks he I

itself down by July 1, to a trial
between T. W. Davidson and the
man upon whom the “flaming

be Collins, Barton, Robertson,

Edwin Denby, one of 1 he < \d>-
biet members, appointed by
Prcsiih nt Harding, has recently
become widely known on ac-
count of his alleged connection
with 1 he Tea Pot Dome oil
scandal.
During this weook the United
States Senate passed a resolu-
tion expressing the sense of the
Senate that Mr. Denby was in-
i’ mnet* nt and that the Presi-
dent should ask for his resigna-
tion at once. During the past
few weeks that the oil scandal
has keen before- the Senate, mini
irons charges have been made
against the present Secretary of
the Navy by Senators, but’ he
ha refused to re ign.
POLL TAXES EXCEED
ANY PREYI()l S YEAR.
Messrs. Adolph Loefller and
Chas. .Martin, prominent stock-
men of Mason County, have
tarnished this paper with some
interesting accounts of the sue-
u ;s of the efforts of stockmen
hi that county to rid their pas-
tures of wolves.
j This Mason County Wolf Club
' f which Howard Smith is pres-
ident and Dorman McMillan is
secretary, was organized some
Mlii hi \ eat ago and. an a.-a • s-
! 'cent of 1 cent per acre was
i made on the lands owned or
j controlled by the members.
During this first year 201 wolv-
es and 171 eats were caught.
'The bounty at that time was
L-> on wolves, and $10 on cats.
During the second year 103
wolves and 1 !.”> cals were caught
and tin* club was able to lower
Cue acre assessment to •'* ( emit
per acre. During the third
year, since October l('23, 23
wolves and 2!) eats have been
caught. At. the beginning of
this third year, last. October,
Hie club was able again to lower
the assessment which is at pres-
ent ' cent per acre, while the
b Miity hat- been raised to ,$50
( m females at d $25 on males,
pups.
In last week’s paper, the court
proceedings were given up to
Wednesday night, and the state
meat made that this week’s is-
sue would, contain the proceed-
ing;; from that time until Thurs-
day of this week. It was also
expected that the Grand Jury
'could ia\ • adjourned by this
date and that a report of their
actions could be given.
Waiting until Thursday noon,
it was found that the minutes
of the court were in use by the
Grand Jury, and as this was the
last minute we could wait, it
will be necessary to give a de-
tailed report of court proceed-
ings and of the Grand Jury in
next week’s issue.
In the case of the State vs.
Win. Wood, which was reversed
by the (lour) of Criminal Ap-
peals, which was tried during
this term, the defendant was
,t i\ en a vvrd ct of “not guilty.’1

A. Lufller, which began Monday
