In its order granting the pe
tition . for the opening of the
Sidney rond, the county court
incorporated the proviso ' that
the petitioners clear the right of
way. To the West Side Enter-
prise, this doe not seem un
reasonable. It required only la
bor to fulfill this condition and
shows good faith on the part of
the petitioners while saving the
county money. The wisdom of
deferring the opening of the
rond till next year,, however, is
not clear. The time of year is
now opproachiug when the road
is most ueeded. It was to get an
outlet durinc the winter the
petition was presented. Deferr-
J ing action in the matter is prac
tically a nullification of the or
der which stands of no effect
until work is begun. If work
on opening the road is not to be
gin until next year or year after,
or 1009, the" order opening it
should have been reserved until
that time.

MR. DUGGKIt's LETTER.
Dr. Darrin; Dear Sir; My wife
has been troubled with discharge
and gradual deafness in her left
ear for the past 17 years. Since
commencing treatment with you
two months ago, I am happy to
state the discharge has entirely
ceaeed and her hearing is gradu
ally returning. I feel confident
that she will soon be entirely re
lieyed from all trouble arising from
this source. I make this state
ment freely, trusting that others
who may be affected similarly tnar
be encouraged to take treatment
from you.
Respectfally,
T. L. Digger.
