Editor Adams of the Times in his
address at Lime Spring setting forth
the merits of the republican candi-
dates failed to say one word in regard
to that miscellaneous" account of
$72S9. 81, over $4,000 of which is unec-
counted for by the Republican in it's
last issue, or make reference to the
so per cent. increase in tax levys, but
instead, with many words and praise
brought to light saving of about
1916, all, all due to Auditor Williams.
Among the saving is the item of cleo
ton supplies, which is easily account
ed for by the fact that change in
ballot laws causes the printing of
only about half rs many ballots as
formerly. And the item Of $50 claim
ed as damages by a young man of
this place for injuries to horse. This
| was a just claim and the young mans
attorney assured him it was colleoti-
BILE. but that if the board was inclined
to resist, it would cost more to fight
it than the claim was worth, and as
the Auditor resisted the payment the
claim was dropped. We had knowl-
| edge of this incident at the time OF
| its occurrence and Mr.. Adams pre-
sentation of it as an economical dea
by Mr.. Williams was somewhat of a
surprise.

The Republican in its anxiety to
show the miscellaneous items to the
best advantage not only falsifies the
figures but includes $S005.25 therein
which it admits does not belong there,
and the curb and gutter south of the
Court house it also reports fully 800
more than the cost reported by the
Board when the work was finished.
This $3l05.25 deducted from $626S 81
leaves $326306 of the miscellaneous
item unaccounted for. But the Board
reported for that years ''lniscellan-
eous" the sum of $72S9 "a, and sub
tracing fro,h that sum the $3105 25,
leaves $42S4 % of the "miscellaneous'
items unexplained. Verify, verify q
paper that will falsify as the Repubii
can has in its pretended explanation
is sufficiently economical in the use of
truth to fabrioate the greatest un-
truths to gain political ends. Why
didn'C it explain the cause for the in
creased taxation upon the farms of
the people? This was II subject it did
not dare even to allude to for every
farmer by comparing his tax receipts

MINERAL PAINT.
Manti Men Who Have a Bonanza
Under Earth's Cover.

The publication in Tuesdays Herald
of an item relating to the inquiry made
| by Hon. James Crosby of Denver into
the affairs of the Utah Mineral Paint
company and into the mineral paint
resources of this state. has at least
been the means of directing attention
to something entirely new in the line
of mineral color suitable for painting
purposes. Messrs William Iilingford
and John P. Dryeng, both well known
citizens of Manti, called at The Herald
office last evening to obtain additional
information on the subject pertaining
to Mr. Crosby's visit to Salt Lake last
week. Mr.. Crosby is prominently asso-
ciated with the Colorado Mineral Paint
company and it is presumed that his
trip to Utah was in pursuance of an
intention to help promote the develop
ment of this states deposits of ochres
and hydrocarbons and the marketing
of the paint products or compounds.
The gentlemen from Manti believe
they have a bonanza paint mine in Sc
vier county and it is their purpose TO
induce Mr.. Crosby to inspect their
claim with a view toward becoming in
terested in its development and the
preparation of the mines product for
the painters. The claim owned by
Messrs. Illingford land Dyreng is sit
uated about 10 miles southeast of Sa-
Ina, but the novelty and richness of
the find lies in the fact that it is black
mineral paint. The vein is 20 inches
thick and is remarkably clean and free
from any foreign substance. The rock
is black, but not volcanic, and undoIbt
edly belongs to the hydro carbon fam
lily.
The chief element in all black paints
is lamp black or some burnt vegetable
or bone matter, but before it is ap-
piled one or more coats of lead are
necessary to give body to the color. A
black paint manufactured from min
eral matter has hitherto been unknown,
but Messrs. Illingford and Dyreng have
demonstrated to the utmost satisfac-
ton of Salt Lake painters and paint
experts that their new black mineral
paint has body equal to lead, and more
over can be utilized at one-half the
cost of any other kind Of black paint
For buggies, railroad trucks, iron and
wood work, the new black mineral
paint is claimed to be unexcelled in
firmness, lustre and durability. The
development Of Utahs mineral paint
deposits and the manufacture and
marketing of the product are destined
to be an important acquisition to the
states growing industries, and if
Messrs. Illingford and Dyreng succeed
in their ambitions they will win wealth
and fame for themselves and the COM
monwealth.

REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Bradstreets Sees Some Symptoms Of
An Old-time Boom.

New York, Aug. 19.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
This has been week of active and ex-
cited speculation. The public has come
into the market and buying, which, al
times assumed an almost reckless ap-
pearance, has extended throughout the
share list. Large professional interests
have taken up various parts of the
list in succession, and found the pub
lie ready to follow their lead. The con-
spicuous feature of the week was the
granger stocks, and the most striking
incident the increase of the Burling-
ton dividend rate to ~ per cent quar-
terly to per cent per annum. This an
nouncement, coming out on Wednes-
day, when the market seemed likely to
react under taking of profits by trad
ers, kept up the excitement and adj
vances for that day. while it resulted
in dealings to the extent of goo, 00O
shares, one of the largest days the eX-
change has had in some time. On
Thursday, however, there was more or
less reaction throughout the market,
profits being taken freely, while at the
declines there was fair amount OF
fresh buying. On Friday the market
tended to recover still further, and sup
port was given by large interests.
many cases at or near the highest
level of the movement The market is
certainly a broader one than for a long
time past. Commission house buying
has been the feature, and while as yet
it cannot be said that the public has
taken the market away from the pro-
fessionals, the latter seem to have
much less control than usual. Some of
the usual accomplishments Of an old
time boom are present, and the street
at large is apparently inclined to be-
lieve that if it does not become boom
the rise in prices and increase of specu-
lative activity will continue for some
time at least. The principal develop
ments of the week have all tended to
favor the bull side, the effects of peace
being supplemented by a further good
crop report, by an increase in earnings
and by the advance of Americans in
London, and the appearance of dis
position on the part of foreigners to
purchase. A decline of exchange at
the end of the week was also noted
among the favorable circumstances.

A row ensued, and the threat was made
to put the motion and carry without

were votes enough to do it, but one
of the muscular members of the minor

he would throw the first man out Of

Judge Hepburn to smile. At any rate,
