FOR THE LAST TIME
We Present to the People a Few
Words IN Behalf Of the Re-
publican County Ticket.


register their choice, not only on
the national and state tickets, but on
the county ticket as well. On
national and state affairs the situa-
ton is clear. The people have fully
made up their minds and they are
going to vote the republican ticket
straight by . very large majority.
On county affairs, while the result
IS not SO clear, yet we believe every
candidate on the republican ticket
will be elected by majorlties only a
little less than those received by the
republican state officers.
There is not a candidate on the
ticket against whom word can be
said as to their ability to fill the
offices which they are seeking. Some
may be more popular than others,
but such IS always the case. All,
however, deserve to receive the vote
of every republican IN the county.
Our Legislative candldates-Wm. L.
Rich for the senate and MILFORD w.
Richards and Grove G. Gray for the
lower house-are men who will rep
resent this county with honor and
credit. They are men of good judg-
ment; have been successful in their
business avocations; they are we'll
acquainted with the needs of the
county and can be depended upon
to work increasingly for the best
interests of their constituents.
Edgar M. Alfred, Joseph r Shep-
herd and Frank Wright, the NOM
inees for commissioners, are pre-
eminently qualified to discharge the
duties of that office. Messrs. Alfred
and Wright are enterprising and
successful farmers, and as there is
much business that comes before the
commissioners that is of vital i'm
portance to the farmers, it is well
that the farming interests should be
represented on the board by men of
ability. Mr.. Shepherds experience
on the board during the past two
years, coupled with his extensive ex-
perience in the mercantile business,
will make him a valuable member
of the board for the ensuing two
years.
In James L. Dunford the people
of Bear Lake county will have a
man who is capable of correctly fix
ing the valuations on property of all
classes, and withal most courteous
and accommodating official.
For the good work that he has
done during the past two years in
placing the public schools of our
county IN better condition than they
have eyer been before, M. F. Whit
man is deserving of reelection by
rouslng majority.

on the ticket.
Walter Hoge's long experience as
deputy sheriff, will insure thor
oughly practical, straight forward
and honorable management of that
important office under his admins
tration as sheriff during the next
two years.
David G. Kunz, the nominee for
probate judge, is an exemplary
young man. He was born at Noun
an, this county, "a years ago.
Through sickness he has partially
lost the use of one leg. This mis-
fortune, while preventing him from
performing manual labor, has served
to awaken IN HIM determination
TO secure good education whereby
he might make himself a useful
member in society in new field.
For the past three years ne has been
student at Fielding Academy and
has proven himself to be one of the
brightest and hardest working stu
dents in that institution. His cleo
ton to the Office of probate judge
will assist him to complete his edu-
cation and at the same time the
Office will be filled by one who is
thoroughly competent. His nomin
alton was just recognition of the
younger element IN the party and
we believe that the people of Bear
Lake county will honor him with
an election by large majority.
That Jesse r. S. Bulge will be
re elected county attorney by a large
majority is foregone conclusion.
He needs no further recommends
ton than his record during the past
two years. The county has not
lost a single case which he has
undertaken and he has proven him
self to be wise and conservative
counselor for the board of commits
sioners. The republicans 7honored
him with unanimous denomination
and the people will honor him next
Tuesday by an almost unanimous
reelection.
In Edward Butcher the republicans
have candidate for surveyor who
is recognized as one of the ablest
civil engineers in southeastern Ida
no. He received his education in
one of the leading schools of Switz-
erland, but has been a resident of
this county for many years. He is
an honest, hard working man and
deserving of the Office for which he
was nominated.
Jas. Rowland, the nominee for
coroner, is one of the old and high
ly respected citizens of this county.
He Is entirely competent to fill the
Office of coroner and will no doubt
be elected by q majority az large az

not interfered with by the extraordinary
demand caused by the construction OF the
Worlds Fair buildings, for which purpose
the company supplies nearly 90 Carloads
of timber and lumber. Is the source Of some
pride to the officers, which is Augmented
by the fact that after this demand was
supplied, the general trade of the COM

CHICAGO LUMBER COMPANY OPERATES
SEVENTYFWE YARDS IN FOUR STATES.

St. Louis has long had the distinction Of
selling moro drugs. beer, tobacco. shoes
and hardware than any other city In the
world, and her growth In other lines Of
manufacture and merchandising has been
a source of pride to the citizens. But only
in recent years has her prominence in the
lumber market attracted attention. The
Government statistlcians a proved that
next to agriculture alone, in the number Of
men and the amount Of capital employed,
the woodworking industries stand at the
head Of all others in the United States.
The most potent factor in the growth Of
tho lumber business IN our city has been
tho Chicago Lumber and Coal Company.
Realizing tina St. Louis was the natural
center of the yellow pine industry of the
United States, the management Of the
Chicago Lumber and Coal Company turned
away from its native city and opened in
st. Louis what have now become Amer
ica's greatest lumber company.
Before removing to st. Louis the COM
pany restrained itself to retail patronage
and when the st. Louis Offices were opened
six men composed the office force. To
day., operating throughout the United
States with its executive headquarters
here, the company occupies the ninth floor
of the Fullerton building. at Seventh and
Pine streets. and has a host of employees.
Besides being engaged In the wholesale
business and the manufacturing Of yellow
and white pine lumber. the Chicago Lum-
Der and Coal Company owns and operates
seventy-fve lumber yards in the States
of Nebraska. Iowa and Kansas. Indeed, in
Kansas this company was the pioneer in
the lumber business.
In conducting this vast enterprise the
company maintains territorial offices in all
the leading cities Of the United States!
Its business Is not confined to the West or
the Central Valleys or the South. but
sweeps over the nation. n everywhere
are representatives of this st. Louis house,
which. as truly as any other could. typiies
the spirit Of st. Louis.
Every known product required by re-
tail dealers in the lumber and coal line
Is handled by the company, and the long
experience Of its officers. the efficiency of
its organization and its progressive policy
insure its future growth.
Mr.. 8. H. Fullerton. president Of the
company. has been connected with the
business since It's establishment In 1866.
He is also largely interested In auxiliary
corporations engaged In the manufacturing
and retailing of lumber. Mr.. Robert Full

Bituminous sIacadam.

1t is said that hundreds and even thou
sands of men have worked and studied to
find some way to eliminate the adverse
conditions and get the benefits of the
macadam payements without its defects.
So far, the only real successful attempt
to do this Is Mr.. Warren's invention OF
THAT is known as "Warren's Bituminous
Macadam." since called "Warren's Btu
Ethic Pavement" Briefly. the subfounda-
ton Is prepared the same as for other
pavements and made solid by rolling: on
its surface, eight inches below the fin
ished surface Of the pavement. a layer
OF broken stone, two and One-half inches
in largest sizes, is then spread evenly over
the subgrade and thoroughly compacted
by rolling until the layer is six inches deep.
Over the surface of the foundation is then
poured a specially prepared bitumen that
waterproofs the aurface and cements the
stone together. This completes the foun-
dation after it has been rolled by a fifteen
ton roller. and il will bear any weigh that
So far. we have the ordinary macadam
with the bitumen added. Here the anal
osy in construction ceases. The surface
of the Bitulithic is made of SO per cent
of stone, but great care is used in the
selection and preparation of this stone.

Asphalt

While magnificent, modern and lofty
business buildings and elegant. palatial
residences do their share toward tho up
building Of the modern city, there Is moth
ing that goes so far In tho making Of the
city beautiful as tho superb paving OF the
streets and b~oulevards. The thing above
all others that makes a favorable impress
sion on visitors Is we'll paved and beau
tiful streets.
This. then. should be the paramount con-
sideration of all municipal officers into
whose hands Is ~intrusted the welfare of
the city.
There are many kinds Of pavements now
for years. while others are stiii in their
experimental stage. But the pavement
above all Others that experience teaches
meets with every requirement necessary
to the making Of a beautiful, durable and
inexpensive street Is what Is known as
the asphalt pavement.
Not all asphalt pavements, however,
of the country poor asphalt pavements
have been laid and the results have been
damaging to the industry.
Downright failure in this form Of paving
has followed the use Of new asphalts and
pavements laid by inexperienced or dis
honest contractors.
Without attempting to make any insid-
ious comparisons, 1t must be said that the
VI NoAAS ~ 1NS SRAN osAHR
Company has been equal to any and all
claims made for 1t by that company, and
equal to all demands made by its patrons
public and private.
That this statement IL supported by
facts can be seen by the splendid work
done by that company in the paving
around the Educational, Varied Industries.
Electricity. School of Arts and other build
ings of the Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
ton, and the beautiful waterway drive.
all OF which occupy an eminent position
in the identifying Of that grand and mag
niicent enterprise.
There is a mistaken impression in some
quarters that asphalt pavement. while in
finitely more desirable. Is also more ex-
pensive than other pavements. The fact
is said to be that asphalt is now being
laid in st. Louis Mt a price that is below
even that made in bids for brick pave
ment.
The making Of Trinidad Lake asphalt
"a commercial commodity accessible to all
contractors-is doing more to locally pop
ularize the paving material that holds
sway in most first-class cities than any
other one thing.
