The Adams County Memorial hospital will be dedicated the 29th, tin Important occasion and one in which all citizens of the county should Join with an earnestness that is genuine. It is your hospital, paid for by money raised from taxing your property and must be maintained if there is a loss in the same manner. It Is n wonderful building, will be splendidly equipped and will bt“ an Improvement of real merit for the county. It's yours and deserves your moral support. We are suro you will give it. John S. Peterson, well known local man who has long taken an artive interest in the Chautauqua, will act as superintendent of this year s entertainment week and wo believe the experiment of using a home man as superintendent will prove a popular experiment. Heretofore it has been the practice to have a stranger do this work but as the local men liad much of the work to do anyway and as they have a real interest in the success of the affair it is believed the new plan will work to the satisfaction of all. Mr. Peterson will be assisted by several local men and women and should be given tlie cooperation of all who are interested m the seuccess of the Chautauqua. Adams county will soon have a permanent road association whose officers will keep in touch with all matters pertaining to highway progress in this section of the state. Within the next few months the' exact route of the north and south trunk, most important in tlie middle west will be fixed and also one or lwo east and west mair roads to be taken over by tlie state will be selected. When these are once fixed it will be too late to become interested. Now is tlio tune and this county should work in harmony and for the best interest of all. laist night’s meeting at Geneva was a splendid one and the interest manifested was sufficient to insure a real live organization which will secure results. The north and south trunk highway to be built through this County will lie known as a “Three hundred mile road.” That is the term applied by the commissioners for it is the idea to build a road on which the traveler can easily make 300 miles per day or thirty miles an hour for ten hours ot travel. Between Sturgis, Michigan and Cincinnati the road is crossed by nine important cast and west roads and two or t rree are to bo added, making it the most important trunk in the middle west. That’s something to shoot at and the towns along the route will profit in many ways. — The Stanton Trust and Savings' Company of Great Falls, Montana.! which loaned Mayor Johnson $50,000 to help make up tho fund for Jack Dempsey, the bruiser, closed its doors yesterday. While it is jiot announced thut this loan caused it, many will believe that it didn’t help the 1 auk very much.
