much discomfort recently, are mat
tiers of intense public interest. The
American Ice Company controls Is
per cent of the local output. Its
general manager states that the re-
cent instances OF shortage in supply
will not occur again. A careful sur
vey of the situation seems to indi-
cate that there may be repetition
of the recent shortage unless addi-
tional modern storage plants are
built. The question of storage seems
to be the most important factor in
the situation at present.
The suffering and discomfort caused by
the shortage in the ice supply in this city
this summer is a subject for general COM
ment. Physicians agree that a city could
probably exist without bread or meat dur
ing the heated term, but It seems that ice
is q necessity. Some Englishmen and
few Fill Islanders are said to still regard
Ice as q luxury. In modern American life,
however ice Is conceded to be essential to
comfort and health.
No day this summer has Washington been
entirely without ice. On several occasions
some sections of the city were not wholly
supplied and there hays been times when
the drivers Of Ice wagons cut down the
supply. At other times wholesale milk
dealers and others were unable to obtain
as much ice as they desired. At no time
have the hospitals been deprived Of a plen-
tiful supply.

So. something can be said In favor Of the
Ice man just as in behalf of the plumber.
All the ice handled at the 9th street sta
ton is from the Kennebec, and most of 1t
comes directly down the run and from
platform into the wagon. The men are ex-
perts at handling 1t, and it Is surprising
how quickly some of them load wagon
The vehicles vary in size and strength
some carrying few hundred pounds and
others several tons. 1t is late in the after
noon when many return to the stations, the
drivers then being very weary looking lot
Nine route agents go around with the
wagons and the company endeavors to have
at least one of the agents on a wagon Tor
one day each week. This agent also acts as
q solicitor and keeps the accounts CT the
drivers straight, There is also superfn-
tendent of agents and large clerical force
to keep the accounts. The system followed
by the company is practically perfect

of ice and they are expected to sell II. They
are paid a wage like other workmen. but
what they earn depends to a large extent
on the amount they sell.

Manner Of Handling Commodity.

The question of storage is one that enters
largely into the calculations of the ice off,
eials. The manner in which the American
Ice Company is handling the commodity in
this city at present is perhaps the cheapest
one possible large part Of the ice for the
city trade Is served directly from the vessel
in which it Is brought here to the wagons
by means of runs and a platform
The scenes attendant upon the loading of
the wagons Is worth witnessing. In order
to do so, however, 1t Is essential to arise at
o'clock in the morning and proceed either
to the wharveS in Georgetown or to the
buster locality at the foot of 9th street.
The wagons begin to depart as early as $3.50
o'clock.
The iceman has been the theme of song
and story. and properly SO, judging from
what was witnessed at the 9th street wharf
by a representative OF The Star early one
morning last week. Most of the drivers and
their helpers on the wagons were honest,
kindly looking chaps. One Of them impaired
the Information that out Of forty-two
week he was abused at thirty-one OF them.

the fact that we didn't have Ice enough
than did wild maxim the red in dat sky

the sunrise.

and jests, until o'clock. when nearly all
the wagons had started on their routes. A
driver and two helpers are assigned to each
wagon. The latter seems to have been Gre

backs. 1t would be difficult to imagine any,
thing more uncomfortable than the front

A Self-nade Nan

Among all the candidates of either
party asking the people of this county
for their suffrages. few, il any. are
more worthy than Henry F. Sommers,
the candidate of the republican party
for the Office of assessor.
Born at Loeansport. Indiana, Octo-
Der 10, 1878, he spent his early days
on farm. When he was Il years Of
age. his father died and to Henry.
the eldest of five children, was left
the responsibility of caring for his
mother and the other four children,
When he reached the age of II his
mother passed away and his response
bilities were increased.
Henry attended school about four
months each winter and in the sum
mer conducted the farming operations.
At the age Of 90 he atten led the
College of Angola, Indiana, for nearly
two years. after which he taught
school four years in Indiana and then
came west from considerations Of
health
During the eight years spent in
Colorado MI Sommers has been en-
ployed in teaching school at Cardiff,
Canon creek and Antlers, and in a
business way, a considerable portion
of the time having been in the employ
of Louis and j. @. Schwarz of Glen
wood Springs In 1900 he served the
government as census enumerator for
this county. In 1905. out of s54 ap-
plicants for the U. s. mint examina-
tious at Denver, Mr. Sommers stood
1872 from the first. Mr.. Sommers has
a family consisting of wife and two
children and resides at Antlers.
1t will be seen from the above that
the republican candidate for assessor
is a self made man, having encoun.
tered many discouragements which he
has always overcome. His experience
has been of a varied business nature
such as to acquaint him we'll with ex-
isting conditions and with property
values throughout the county and be
is therefore we'll equipped for the po-
sition he seeks.

Brother Adams will Pass the Hat

Little wonder that the democratic

sadly miss the plethoric "barl" of the

liberal access two years ago but 'the

since Boss Patterson has ruined every
possible chance for party success,
money is not coming to the committee

To any leader possessing a fraction
of the egotism of Senator Patterson,
the situation would appear positively
ludicrous, but Senator Patterson has
no sense of humor and would not

This condition of decentralization is

The bitterness engendered by the force

CATION from the democratic conven
tion by Boss Patterson is growing in
intensity. A number of prominent
democratic local leaders in Denver are
openly waging war on the democratic
ticket. Boss Patterson is being paid
back in his own coin. He is learn
ing that he is not the only democrat
who can bolt when he cannot have
his own way. Further confusion has
been added to the already complicated
democratic situation by the forced
Withdrawal of the regular democratic
candidates from the Lindsey ticket
This was brought about by the force

Adams. The democratic candidates
realized that they had hard row to
hoe. By going on the Lindsey ticket
in addition to their own ticket, they
felt that they had some show to win,
and when they were forced off by Sen
ator Patterson they were very much
disturbed and did not hesitate to ex-
press their condemnation of his boss
ship.
The democratic situation in Denver
could not possibly be worse for that
party The organization is hopelessly
split. the candidates are sick, sore and
tired of the juggling that has been
going on between the leaders, half of
whom are not on speaking terms with

that promised either strife or divi-
sion.
Out of the mouths of his leaders
and personal friends comes the con-
tirmation of the charge that the Hon.
Alva Adams is afraid.
Is this the sort of man you want to
place at the head of the great state of
Colorado9
Do you want any further evidence
to convince you that the Hon. Alva
Adams is afraid. Listen:
The other day this brave democrat
sat In the democratic convention and
listened to the denunciation of his
warm personal friends and life time
political supporters. Charles S. Thom-
as, Charles J. Hughes, E. G stimson
and others equally loyal to him, by
Senator Patterson, whose loyalty shifts
with the wind.
Did the Hon. Alva Adams arise to
defend these loyal friends2 By no
means. He sat silent. intently alb
sorbed in the contour of knot hole
in the floor. The Hon. Alva Adams
did not have the courage to defend
his friends. When by the force of his
domineering personality, Senator Pat
terson branded these democratic lead
ers, who have faced the people in four
campaigns in behalf of Alva Adams,
as traitors and kicked them out of the
convention on the ground that they
were not democrats. did the Hon. AL
va Adams rise in indignant protest
against the humiliation and outrage
which Senator Patterson had visited
upon his friends and supporterst
Not at all. The Hon. Alva Adams
was still afraid, and as these outcasts
marched out he looked the other way

Speaking of the present outlook,
State Chairman Vivian says:
1T looks now as though Mr.. Adams
would be very fortunate if he carries
ten counties in the state Denver
county will give the republican ticket
at least 4. 600 plurality. and the prob
abilities are that it will be over
10, 900. We are sure to hold every
republican county and to gain some
democratic counties, but this hopeful
outlook should not encourage any re
publican to neglect his duty to the
party at this time. We have a splen-

platform, and every republican in the

Elisha, who left Roswell about two
months ago and was last heard of in
Los Angeles, California, on June "a.
Two days after that date the lad
wrote his father from Los Angeles
stating hat he had no more than
reached that city than he fell off a
street car and broke his arm. He
wrote for money, saying that Capt.
Simpson, of the Salvation Army and
formerly of this city, would care for
MIN until the money arrived. The ia
ther answered that if his son would
sen his street address he would tel
egraph him the required funds. His
letter was never answered. After
waiting a reasonable length of time
the father wrote the chief of police
been ten days since he sent the let

father fears foul play and solicits the
aid of the newspapers in the search
for his son. If any reader knows a

This is Col. Bryan. He has the cour-

pressing his convictions.
There are not a few leaders in the

catch Bryan in his u~tterances, but
they will fail to entrap him, he has
nothing to conceal. He has strong
convictions on public questions, and
he is always prepared to make them
known. This is wherein the states
man differs from the politician. Bry-
an is a statesman of broad calibre,
and deep convictions, always guided
by a good conscience.
