J. M. Ashley, Jr., of the T., A. A.,
and N. M. railroad, was in Clare
on Wednesday in conference with
our citizens in regard to the prospective charge of route of the new road
so as to come to Clare. The business
men and others waiter] upon Mr.
Ashley at the office of B. D. Whent-
011 and made a presentation of facta
in regard (o the amount of railroad
tra flic of this village, and submitted
proofs therefor, which were convincing and entirely sntisfnetory to fch'e
railroad magnate. Me was not prepared however to make us a proposition without a conference with the
directors of the road, but will do
that next week, when the people of
Clare and surrounding J'c-onntry will
know just what they must do to secure the road. To the question as to hi
opinion about the matter he replied, "I am convinced that the road
■should come here. The route is not
much longer than the one contemplated, and it would be less expensive, to build j besides which there is
the'increased amount of business we
would get at Clare. Yes, I think a
fair.-and reasonable proposition will
be submitted to your people."
Mr. Ashley took a drive through
the.-oountry and was -satisfied that
the good .«<)il insured the building up
of Clare,so ni.to make it an imp'ort'-'
tmi'ptyre. .-■       $v-    t~ •       ••"-•--
Allegation of" Harrison citrzeo?,
consisting of W. H* Wilson, P. A.
Wilssn, Wm. Pagan and A.Hudson,
wereihere to urge the building of the
road-to the county seat. They made
a big-showing and were successful in
prevailing upon Mr. Ashley to visit
Harrison and learn more in regard to
•railroad traffic at that point. He
went to Harrison on the train Wednesday nigh! and returned overland
yesterday. The Harrison people are
confident that they too will be given
an opportunity to respond .to a proposition from the company, Farwell
folks rely upon the eJause in their
contract which specified that thfi
railroad .should not run within two
miles of Oanyand do not yet despair of securing the crossing at that
place. The people of Clare village
have worked for Clare, not against
any other place and if a contract shall
be -entered into with us, no proviso
will bo demanded as to where the
road-shall go before reaching Clare or
after it passing this village. The
clause in the Farwell contract is not
an obstacle, to Clare's way, nor does
it in any way mar the fair .prospect
of our getting the road.

That the people of this school
trict are talive to the welfare of
pu blic schools was manifest by
large attendance of ci tizens and
ferest displayed by them at the
nual meeting on Monday evening.
The report submitted hy the board of
trustees showed that during the post
year the receipts, including a balance
on hand Sept. 3, 18S5, of §10,98,
amounted to $2560J C. Of this
amount $1570.08 had been expends
for teachers' wages and $747.89 foj
incidental expenses, leaving a b
ance on hand of $242.24. The incidental expenses last year were unusually large owing to the payment
of a bond and a payment on the
school grounds. It is probable that
there will be a considerable reduction
in these expenses for the ensuing
year. The board recommended that
SI750 be raised by tax this year,
$ll">.'jfor teachers' wages and $600
for contingent expenses. On the
question of the adoption of this re-
comendation there was a lively discussion, participated in  by Messrs,

and Lon Fox ha«i
