DR.. F. l.. Hayden: A minister Of
the gospel Is the poorest paid public
servant, when you take into consid-
GRAFTON the vast field Of general
work that is incumbent upon him to
cover, Of all the vacations that man
may follow. A minister has respon-
sibilities and cares and worries that
few men really appreciate.
Fred Parker: wouldn't accept
the nomination or run for the may
orship Of this city II 1t carried a $5,-
900 salary, in addition to the great
honor attached. Let the law and or
der people look to some other good
man beside your humble servant or
course, favor law and order, but
then, know where to draw the line
] am not radical by any means.
II doesn't make any difference about
my views on the campaign issues, as
! am too busy to consider them. I
don't want to be mayor.
H. Fl. Schott: can see no improve
ment In hop conditions for he i'm
mediate future. 1t is the same old
story-over production. With the
larger acreage in England and Ger
many, as well as in our own cOun-
try, caused by the big price last sea-
son, there was an over-production
this year which has forced the price
downward. Prime hops will doubt
less bring fair prices. but the poorer
grades will find slow market I
consider I am fortunate in wing
made contracts last year for my 1905
crop. At the time was considered
foolish for doing so, but, consider
ing the prices that are ruling now, 1t
was lucky stroke.
Chief Hauser: The fire alarm
system is fast becoming perfected,
and I believe will be as efficient as
the present needs OF the city require.
At a recent trial turned in an alarm
and the boys turned up at the Will
son block and had connections made
and a stream ready in just one and
one-half minutes I consider this is as
good time as can be made by any
similar organization anywhere. We
need another hook and ladder truck
badly, as with our present apparatus
we would be unable to reach the
third story windows In case of neces-
slty. and as "sky-scrapers" are be-
ginning to make their appearance
here, we must consider these
things. Another valuable addition
to our working facilities would be a
net. The Time may come when some
one will be caught shut OF from a
stairway by flames and obliged to
seek egress from the building by way
of the windows. With good net
some lives will doubtless be saved
But then these things may all come
In time.
]. ]. Miller: The real estate busi-
ness has been strenuous one the
past few weeks. We have made
some good sales and could have made
others had our property owners been
satisfied with the prices asked by
them a few weeks ago. The fact
that few Montana men came in
here seeking investments caused a
furry which was not justified, and
fancy prices were asked for property
which would not Justify these parties
or any other capitalist in buying.
Such actions always play havoc with
us real estate men, for in some in
stances owners Of property are asking
thirty-three and third per cent
more for their holdings than they
did five weeks ago. However, am
sure a saner view Of things will be
taken soon. and property values will
