A system of lot. sales will be inaugu-

out .and brought to perfect grade. This
system does away with the rion-unl-formity
of grade and care one of the
greatest objections to the old style
cemeteries where the sold lots were
cared for and unsold ones were not.
Here all will be well kept and per-
petual care is guaranteed every lot.
That the new cemetery will be beau-
tiful and orderly is assured. If only
by the fact that it Is the first the
company has laid out in the territory

No Authority for Paying
Precinct Election
Officers
The county commissioners are hold-
ing an adjourned session and will fin-
ish today. Several bills for holding
the recent election had been riled with
the county clerk and were Investi-
gated. As there war considerable variance
In the amount of the bills the law was
Investigated and It was found that
no provision had been made in the
statute for paying these claims bo the
bills were laid aside for further In-
vestigation. It seem3 that eome of tho
precinct election boards dalmed that
holding election was public work and
as over eight hours was employed
they put in claims for two days' work.
Some of the precincts put in time
for two men to bring in the returns'
one of each party. The matter was1
referred to the county attorney and
he informed the commissioners that
the law made no provision for paying
precinct election officers nor author-
ized any money to be paid for this
wo k. The commissioners are not con-
sidering that silence gives consent
and the matter" will probably be re-
ferred to -the state election board or
to the attorney general.
