Dr. C. A. Barnes Says L,aws and Citizenship Are Very Complicated in Has State—Newsy Letter

The following letter from Dr. C. A. Barnes, who with hi9 wife, went to Tacoma, Washington, a few months ago, will be of interest to their many friends here: "Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 16, 1913. "Daily Reporter, Greenfield, Ind. "A possible war with Mexico and the kind of weather we have been having, are now having and are likely to have, seem to have been the leading subjects in the minds of most people for some time. "As the war has not yet, and is not likely to materialize, and the weather has most positively and forcibly done so, one naturally concludes the weather the proper and lasting subject for surmise and discussion. "One week ago today, the day following your big blizzard. Mrs. Barnes, Albert, the son. and I spent the day visiting Point Defiance Park. It was not cold enough to make an overcoat necessary flowers were freely blooming in the open, and as is the custom here, many people were fishing from the docks on the Sound, which forms the northern boundary of the park. There has beeu no cold weather during the week since and a portion of today I have spent in Wright's park, where roses and other flowers, not quite so fresh or plentiful as a fewT weeks ago, are still blooming. And this in a country about 500 miles farther north than Greenfield. Frost has been reported on some parts of the Sound, but we have not seen any yet. They have no weather 'snaps' here. In the fall and winter the country gradually cools off, and when spring comes it gradually warms up again. In the meantime it rains. Not all the time, or every day, as some say of this country. Not so much this season as in Indiana. "We have no malaria in Tacoma. Scarcely ever a case of typhoid fever appears, and practically none of the infantile diseases so prevalent where the summers are hot. The death rate here for 1913 is 8.4 for 1,000 inhabitants. "The State of Washington probably has more laws than any other state in the Union. I don't expect to become a voter here. At my advanced age, I don't expect to live long enough to learn the running of the state government machinery sufficiently well to enable me to vote intelligently on any subject. Everything seems to be run by a commission, the commission run by a manager, and the whole bunch liable to be recalled before they have served their terms. I may be mistaken, but this is the way it appears to me. Mrs. Barnes says the laws seem as plain to her here as they did in Indiana, and declares she is going to vote on the first and every opportunity. Selah! "C. A. BARNES, M. D. "P. S.—To our old and dear Hoosier friends, we extend a hearty invitation to come out and see us and our country but we do not advise them to leave Indiana for any other part of the world expecting to find a place of better 'averages' of the things that make life comfortable and pleasant. Remembering kindly all our good friends of Greenfield and vicinity, and hoping to be remembered in the same spirit, we are as ever, "THE 'BARNES'S'"

SUPERINTENDENT OF THE COUNTY ROADS

NEW OFFICE CREATED BY RECENT LEGISLATURE TO BE FILLED FIRST OF YEAR—

PAYS $4.00 A DAY HERE

The Hancock County Commissioners will at their January meet-' ing hive an important office to fill, the new office of County Superintendent of Highways. The recent Legislature created this office in response to a sentiment in opposition to the State Highway Commissioner, the argument being that the control of the construction and maintenance of the improved highways should be in the hands of the local authorities in each county.

Hancock county has more than 100 miles and fewer than 400 miles of improved roads, and the superintendent will receive for his services here, $4.00 per day. When the number of miles of improved highways in a county is more than 400, then the county is in the first class list, and the superintendent will receive $5.00 per day.

When the number of miles is less than 100, then the county engineer is appointed superintendent. The superintendent will give a bond of $5,000. He will have supervision over all the roads, bridges and culverts of the county. It will be his duty to look after the construction and repair of these. His expenditures, however, in any one instance are limited to $50, without special authority from the county board. He will make an annual report covering the operations of his office, and an estimate upon which to base the levy for road purposes. This levy must not exceed one cent on each $100 of taxables for every ten miles of improved" roads.

The superintendent must fix the standards for roads, bridges and culvert construction and maintenance. He must divide the county into districts. He must make accurate maps of the roads of the county, appoint assistant superintendents for each 25 miles of road, and direct them in their work. These assistant superintendents will have immediate charge of the work in their several districts. They will give bond, will be paid at the rate of 25 cents an hour for time actually employed, and may be removed at will by the county superintendent for neglect of duty. If an assistant superintendent has to use a team in his work he will receive fifteen cents an hour for the team. The rate of pay for a team and a driver when employed on the roads is fixed at 35 cents an hour for laborers without teams, 20 cents an hour.

The office of county highway superintendent, it is plain, is going to be an important one. The improved highway system of the county is one ,of its most valuable assets, and the bringing of it to a high state of efficiency and maintaining it, there, will depend upon the skill, knowledge and ability of the superintendent. It is going to be an office that is particularly close to the people, for everybody is interested in good roads.

There will probably be several applicants for this job, as well as for several other appointive places to be filled by the cominissioners at the December and January meetings.

Veteran Teacher Here. Jv W. Jones, a Hancock county school teacher for many years, but now of Meadville, Mo., is in town meeting hundreds of his old friends. Mr. Jones was called to Connersville a week ago by the serious illness of a sister, Mrs. Sylvester, Who has now improved. He is visiting another sister, Mrs. H. B. Richey here, and other relatives and friends.

Mr. Jones beg&n teaching school in 1879. His first school was at the Ferrell school house, east of Eden. He also taught in Sugar Creek, Buck Creek and Brandywine townships. We went to Missouri seven years ago, and has been engaged in the school work there since. He says the schools there are attaining a high standard, and are patterned largely after the Indiana schools.

Oscar Capeler was Arrested at Nelv Castle Wednesday Night on Warrant Issued by Mayor

Oscar Capeler, a young man who was here a few days ago, was arrested Wednesday night at New Castle, on a warrant issued by the mayor, Ora Myers, charging him with issuing fraudulent checks.

Two checks, it is reported, were issued by Capeler, drawn on the New Palestine Bank, one for $2.40 and one for $5,00, and cashed by Thomas Trainer and John Dailey. It is claimed the young man had no funds in the New Palestine bank.

City Marshal Shumway went to New Castle today and brought young Capeler to this city. Capeler, it is said, was in Greenfield the night of the cutting affray, Monday night, in company with some men who are thought to be implicated in that fight.
