AGENTS TALK ASPHALT.
Representative of the Trinidad Com
 pany Is In Birmingham.

A representative of the Trinidad As- phalt company was in Birmingham yes terday in consultation with Mayor Dren- nen and several aldermen relative to having his pavement considered when the city should decide to make trial of asphalt. He claims his material is excel lent and can be laid at comparative low prive.
 No assurances were given him other than if the city should decide to lay asphalt all companies would be allowed to present bids. The representatives of the Warren Brothers Bituminous mate rial have returned to Nashville, after looking over the conditions here and studying the matter so that they might be in a position to present intelligent bids for such work as may be decided upon.
 It is possible the city officials may de- eide to lay asphalt as a trial about the city hall and on Twentieth street near the park The matter will be taken up at the next meeting of the board of al dermen.

Good Roads Exhibition.

''The Good Roads Train" sent out
by the good roads section of the
Uuited States agricultural depart
ment, which will give demonstrations
Of practical road-making at the state
fair, will be held at St. Cloud the week
of September S-13. The week pro-
misses to be an interesting one for
those interested in good roads in this
section OF Minnesota.
St. Cloud is peculiarly well situated
to make such demonstrations as are
made by the government, very inter-
esting and the program which is to be
carried out by those engineers of the
government connected with the good
roads train, will include road-making
from the earth as it is found, practi-
cally drained and crowned, and such
as can be built by any road overseer
with the proper machinery and q
knowledge of how it should be done,
snch as is given gratis by the en-
gineers in charge. Another section of
the road will be OF granite macadam
Still another will be of gravel, and a
fourth section will be of clay mixed
with sand an article that is plentiful
in many sections of this part of the
state and condition that has kept
many localities from having good
roads, Sand is difficult material
from which to make suitable roads,
and this mixture of clay demonstra-
ton promises to be of unusual inter-
est to those living in the sandy Sec
tions of the state. Conventions will
be held two days of the week Wednes-
day and Thursday, and demonstra-
tions of practical and actual road
making will be given each day. The
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railways have agreed to give low
rates for this good roads convention
at St. Cloud, and those interested in
good roads, should make it point to
attend. One or more days spent in
attendance will prove of untold value
not alone to those attending but to the
community in which he lives. Good
roads in all sections of the state
means enhanced values to lands of
every description.

Complaint is made by most of the
hunters from this city who were in the
field early on Monday morning that
the covies OF chickens had been "all
shot to pieces" as they express it.
The game law has had no one to en-
force it in this vicinity. If the shoot
ing had been done by the farmers a
day or two prior to September 1.
while violation of the letter of the
law, there would be much to extenuats
it-but the HERALD is informed that
during the past two weeks there has
been . great deal of shooting by thos
who were ostsnsibly training their
dogs. This 10 an unfair advantage
taken by tho few dsfiers of the law
ever ths nany who respect it.

"The office should seek the man
not the man seek the office" IS the
terse statement which passes cur.
rent as expressing the ideal condi-
ton in politics. The primary law
reverses this. The only man who
stands a remote chance is he who
seeks the office, pays for seeking
it, seeks it twice during the same
campaign and seeks it very hard.
Instead Of the people selecting
their candidates, the candidates
are forced to select themselves and
all the people can do is to express
a choice between these self-select-
ed aspirants.

At the school meeting held on
Saturday but 5000 was levied for
maintenance of the schools-a
smaller sum than for several years
past. The school property is now
in excellent order and very little
expenditure will be required be-
You'd the bare expense of operat-
ing the schools. An addition to
the capacity of the heating plant
will be made but there are suflci-
cient funds for that now on hand.
The levy will be about ten mills
for school purposes-an excellent
showing certainly when the high
standard of excellence and efflci-
ency of the schools is considered.

its schools but heartily endorses
its school board.

While most of the counties of
Minnesota show very marked gain
in assessed valuation of real estate
over two years ago, Stearns county
has decreased nearly million
dollars-and that, too, in face of
the fact that sales have been at a
higher, much higher, figure than
ever before. 1t would indicate up
on it's face to one not familiar with
conditions, that Stearns county
farms are not very desirable,
whereas there are none finer in the
state. Of course, the state board
will raise the valuation. and round
ly, too.

ty, will best subserve their own in
terests by voting at the primaries
to retain the services of Messrs. O..
Neil and Babcock as their represen.
tatives, Notwithstanding the un.
warranted abuse heaped upon them
by interested persons. They have
experience, courage and integrity;
they know the requirements of the
district, and are familiar with the
broader field of general legislation.
George w. Maynard, candidate for
Senator, is your old-time friend and
neighbor-a true man in every
sense of the word. He is capable
and the soul of honor. His loyalty
to Todd county interests cannot be
questioned. As an oficial-sheriff
he has a record which challenges
admiration. Do not be blinded by
the shower of mud which, by the
way, seems to be designed for Will
liam E. Lee and John D. Jones,
neither of whom are in issue; and
two more enterprising and valua.
BILE citizens Todd county never had.

tested toward them by those who
have been special recipients of ia
vors and benefits at their hands,
calls for vigorous rebuke at the
polls. This without permission
