Rocky FoED, CoLo july 20 'es.
Editor Lamar REGIsTER,
Dear Sir:
My attention has been called to
the fact that in a late issue of your pa
per, you gave me little gratuitous
advertising by announcing me as a
candidate before the republican
county convention for legislative
honors.
Let me say through the same chan
mel, that without doubt the fear of
such fact was the father of the
feeling with some aspirant.
No man has ever heard me express
the desire even, or known of nv
making an effort that might result
in bringing my name before the com
ing convention.
While the representative Of such a
worthy constituency as the republi-
cans of Bent county is an honor that
any good man might be justly proud
of, have not hoped to do more than
my share toward electing some capa-
bic, Conscientious, consistent candi-
date, whose republicanism can be
relied upon, aud who if elected will
realize that he is simply the servant
of the people and not potentate.
Respectfully,
a. I. KELLOGG.

While the townslte of Mckinney has

from Marcus amounts to about two cents
per pound, IN addition to which heavy du-
ties have to- be paid but, on the other hand,
the cost OF bringing the same goods from
Fort Hope, the only other available supply
point by way of Granite creek, Is tiom
SIX to ten cents per pound. On the whole,
the rates gives the advantage to Marcus.
All that 1t needs is wagon road, for at

is no postotlice, and letters and papers are
expensive luxuriec, as the private parties
who carly the mails charge twenty-five
cents for bringing letters and ten cents for
paper.
The British government are talking of
building road from Osoyoos lake, u dis
tance of sixteen miles, but the route Is not
as practicable AS the one from Marcus. Ifthe
proposed railroad is built to Colville and
then road put through from Marcus,
there is no reason why Spokane Falls
should not get the trade of the miners. and
If a smelter is established here it would
handle all the ore.
All that the country needs is capital to
build railroad and put up u smelter, 30
hat the ore can be reduced to bullion, and

country from Ireland. He is the guest
of John O'Rouke at 176 Broadway,
but he leaves in day OF two for Chi

Mr.. Ford told the story of his adven-
ture very modestly: Il was one of the
wardens at Tullamore jail,'' he said,
''knowing how to do the work, was
also assistant to the prison clerk. Of
course I was, and am, like a great

form, but insisted on keeping on his

The Real Estate Board.

The regular meeting of the board of
directors of the st. Paul real estate
board was held in their room Wednes-
day last, this being the first meeting
held for some months. The achieve
ments of the board during the past five
months were reviewed with gratifying
results, and the present work in hand
considered. The reports of the secre-
tary and treasurer showed the board to
be in excellent condition financially and
as body. 1t shows that the member
ship has been steadily increasing since
the first of the year, and that the use
fulness of the organization to agents is
recognized by even the most skeptical.
The bulk of the business of this body is
transacted through committees, detailed
for special work and discharged as soon
as accomplished.
AT the regular meeting OF the board
yesterday the president, George II. Haz-
card, spoke of the general inquiry as to
st. Paul real estate in New York city
while he was there attending the NJ. +.
conference. The subject of closing the
