The intention to make the inaugura- tion ceremonies more National in their character than usual is in ac- cordance with the principles on which Mckinley was elected.
Arizona republican., 1896-11-26

The story that William K. Wander bilt gave s150,000 to the Republican campaign fund and will receive for eign appointment in return, appears to have been true except in two par ticulars. He didn't give it, and he won't get it.

ELECTION NOTES.

The lola election board are all good
fellows, but they are not exactly
lightning calculators. The Moran
board had finished their 400 ballots
before our board had reached the 200
mark, and the Humboldt board had
wound up their 507 while We were
still hoyering around the 800 mark.
Thursday morning, as this note is
written, there are still two hundred
ballots to count, and it will probably
be we'll along in the afternoon before
the result in lola township is known.
OF course the truth is that this pre-
cinct ought to have been divided and
it must be before another election.
We doubt if there is another precinct
in the United States in which 761
votes were cast.

lola cast 1873 more votes than were
cast here in 1892.

But we have known some men to

WORKING TO A CHARM.

tiOn, Fully JuStifying the Claims

ALPS WELL FOR lola.

81 came up to give you piece ofthe
first spelter that was ever made by
natural gas in Kansas, are the words
with which Mr.. Robert H. LanyOn
announced to US last Monday morn.
ing that the lola works of the Robert
LanyOn's Sons Spelter Co., were al
last in operation. And although the
intrinsic value of the gift perhaps did
not exceed five cents, we shall treas
ure it as a precious mementO of the
day from which dates, as we firmly
believe, the second birth of lola, the
day when the fear that lola might
always remain q moribund village
gave way to the confidence that it
will shortly become a stirring and
and prosperous city.
The REGISTER has kept its readers
posted on the progress being made in
the construction of the Smelter from
time to time, and now that it is in
operation something like a complete
description of the work going on there
will doubtless be of interest. The
LanyOn Brothers and their accom-
plished book keeper, Mr.. Ruble, have
always accorded us the utmost cour-
tesy, answering freely and frankly all
the questions that were asked about
their business, and it is of course to
them that we are indebted for the
facts in the following description.
Up to this date about 40 car loads
Ofzinc ore, or Jack" as it is commonly
called, have been unloaded here.
This ore has come from Joplin, Webb
City, and Aurora, Mo, and from Ga
lena, Kansas. 1t is dumped onto the
ground from the cars, and is wheeled
into the crushing room of the smelter
where it is passed between heavy roll
ers that grind it as fine as coarse sand.
Mechanical elevators then carry it
to the second floor, and from there it
is wheeled to the calcining kiln. This
kiln is an immense double furnace
with three floors each. The top floor
is heated TO only a moderate degree, !
and the ore goes in there to begin |
with. After several hours it is drop |
ped through to the second floor where |
the heat is considerably greater.

Another machine shapes it into tt e
great jar-like retorts. The retOrts are
then placed on the "drying floor" an
elevated floor under which are steam
pipes, where they are kept until
thoroughly dried. When wanted for
the furnace they are taken first into a
small kiln where they are brought to
white heat, so that they may be ~
serted without danger of cracking.
The cOndensers are also prepared in
this department, the only difference
being that they are burned in a kiln
for that purpose so as to be proof
against the heat.
The operation of so much machinery
of course requires a great deal of
power, and this is furnished by three
engines. The first is the 4O-herse
power steam engine which the Lam
yOns bought from the Carriage Com
pany, and which runs the machines
in the fire clay department and the
mixing house. This engine has been
reinforced by the instalIment of a
heavy new bOilor, to be used in case
of any accident to the old one. The
second engine is a 20-horse power
Otto gas engine, run by natural gas,
and used for turning the blast fans
and the electric light dynamo. AS
great damage and loss might follow
in case of any accident to this engine,
a 35-horse power Westinghouse steam
engine has been erected by the side
OF it as reserve, so that the fans and
the lights can be kept always going.
When an institution of this kind is
once fired up. the fires cannot be
allowed to go out without great dam
age and loss, hence the work at the
smelter goes on night and day just
the same. 1t is necessary therefore to
have steady aud reliable lights. and
hence 25-light electric plant has
been put in. To one who has never
seen anything of the kind, the sight
presented by the smelter when in full
operation at night, is better than any
fire works.
The gas is doing everything that
was expected of it. Indeed less press
ure is required than was thought
would be necessary. The great cal
ching kiln runs on a pressure of two
ounces, and the great blast furnaces
only require five or six ounces. When
it is remembered that al the well ONLY
a mile away there is a pressure of
nearly three hundred pounds ready
to respond to call, any apprehension
about the quantity of gas may well
be set at rest.

road to success.
If you are dairylnan or dairy

Drawback to Rural Life.
There is one thing which constitutes
. serious drawback to farm life; that
is, too great a lack of physical COM
fort. We have seen farmers spend
several thousand dollars in the erec-
ton of house with a large and we'll
furnished parlor and never a bath
room. Hot and cold water can be just
as easily established in the modern
farm house as In the average village
home. 1t is not question of wealth,
for there are dozen village homes
with bath rooms to one farm home,
and the owners of the farm homes
may be worth four times as much as
any one of the villagers.

OUR COMMON ROADS.


To Repair Them Costs Nearly Twenty
Million Dollars . Year.
The total length of the common roads
in this country, good, bad and indiffer
ent, is estimated by Gen. Stone, OF the
road bureau of the department OF agri'
culture, at something over 100000
miles. The majority of these roads have
been opened by common laborers, hired
by local supervisors, and no engineering
principles have been observed in their
construction. As result, it costs more
to keep them in repair than if they were
as many finely macadamized roads.
Keeping these poor roads in repair and
opening new thoroughfares cost Massa-
chusetts in 1898, outside of cities, ST.
1876, 944, or 5000 per mile; New York,
81, 500, 900, or $50 per mile, and New
Jersey, SITS, 407.s2, or $43.25 per mile
The total expenditure for roads in that
year amounted to about $40, 100000. As
a greater part of the enormous sum
was spent in repairing poorly-con-
structed roads, that would need exactly
the same attention next year, it is not
an exaggeration to say that most OF
the money was wasted. Fine roads can
be constructed all the way from $4OC
to $500 per mile, according to the nature
of the country through which they pass
the cost of crushed stone and other en-
cheering problems. The cost of keep
ing these roads in repair is infinitely
smaller than that required to repair the
ordinary dirt roads each winter ant

may be accomplished by never vary-

seen in the history of the Mccormick
Harvesting Machine Co., Chicago.
For 6 years they have simply been
building grain and grass-cutting ma
chinery, and while there are probably
forty manufacturers in this line, it is
safe to say that the Mccormick
Company builds one-third of all
the binders, reapers and mowers used
throughout the entire world.
