A du Pont-Richardson combination
for the purpose Of throwing down the
Addicks-Alee-Layton combination and
sending Col. du Pont and Harry A. Rich
ardson TO the Senate is now talked Of.
The more combinations the merrier will
be the Republican fght in Delaware this
year But we very much doubt that Mr..
Richardson would consent to enter into
any combination having forits object the
practical purchase Of the two senator

County Comptroller Chandler's sue-
gestion that the road commissioners be
abolished and the members Of the Levy
Court take over their duties seems sound
and practical. The members Of the Levy
Court in the rural districts have ample
time for the purpose, and their salaries of
81 200 year are sufficient remuneration
for much more work than they are called
upon to perform now The suggested
change would prove an economy. as we'll

Kelliher, Dec. 81. With the
close of 1906, the citizens of Ke1fi-

vance which this village has
made during the past year ard
are well pleased with the pros
poets for the future.
During the past twelve months,
this little city has made wonder.
full strides in going to the fore as
a commercial and business center
for the north half of Beltrami
county that lies east Of Red Lake,
and the year has been a most
prosperous one for the business
men and citizens Of Kelliher
generally.
The village has had q liberal
set Of village officers to look after
it's municipal affairs, and with
William Lennon at the head of
the council, forward" has been
the slogan Of q united community
determined to make this place
one Of the leading towns of the
county.
Many new business houses
have been estab blished here, and
there is a general air of pros
perity that angurs well for the
development Of Kelliher.
One Of the most i'm mporsant
ctions OF the year, and one
that will possibly change the en-
tire manner in which this village
will develop is the work being
done here in prospecting for iron
ore. A crew Of men has been
laboring diligently since last
August, drilling for iron ore, and
it is believed that the village Of
Kelliher is located directly on
the range that contains the vein
of ore that extends westward
from the Messaba iron mines.
This crew has on several oc..
casions struck ore, but not in
sufficient quantities to be con-
sidered as pay dirt" as yet.
However, during the past two
weeks, the drill has worked
through a vein four feet in thick
ness. The men here make daily
reports to the main Office Of the
syndicate in Chicago, and they
state that they believe they have

STORIES OF THE HOUR
He Was Not Liable.

Governor Stokes, of New Jersey,
tells this one on certain lawyer in
South Carolina:
There was railroad collision near
a country town in South Carolina" he
said, "and just as the trains met a
southern darby was passing along a
country road beside the lone track. A
piece of iron from the wreck flew over
to this darby and laid him low. NV
friend, the lawyer, who was wide
awake to business, heard of the COL
lision and hurried to the scene. Just
before reaching the scene he met this
darby struggling up the road with his
hands OF his head and moaning with
pain. My friend, looking for business,
and thinking the darby was one of
the victims, went up and stopped him.
How about damages?' he began,
"The sufferer waved him off.
'G'way, boss, g'way,' he cried. All
neber hit de train. All nebber done
such ting in all NAH life! Yo'

There appears to be a misunder-
standing as to the depth of the sand
in the filter. Mr.. Moran of the water
works department who measured the
sand states the minimum depth was
% inches; he called the figures to the
city engineer, who noted them, and the
city engineers record indicates 80
inches as the minimum depth, while
the superintendent who was present
stated that while he believed 80 inches
was called, yet it might have been 81
inches. We do not consider this as
very material. DR.. Wheeler says the
safety limit is a minimum of four feet
while the report of the Lawrence filter
indicates the filter three feet. No mat
ter what figures are adopted there was
but 81 car loads of sand put in the
filter last year and the minimum depth
according to the most favorable figures
is from six to nine inches below the
lowest safety limit and one foot and
nine inches below that limit set by the
legal authoritys. Professor Babcock
reports that the water is not what It
should be, and that contamination is
indicated, but he can not state whether
such contamination is from defective
filtration or unfiltered water in the
mains or otherwise.

the burning of the saw mill destroyed
the supply of fuel one year under Mr..
Dinnie and as the number of lights
increased the cost per light decreased.

The Duis' personal organ has been
assiduous in its attempt to make poll
teal capital for its chief by calling
attention to certain city warrants held
by Dinnie Bros. on which no taxes
have been paid. The organ either over
looked or was ignorant of the fact that
Mr.. Geo. E. Duis is the owner of
thousands of dollars worth of notes
and mortgages in Grand Forks and adj
joining counties on which he has never
paid cent of taxes. The public re-
cords disclose this fact and also that
the Garr-Scott Co., of which Mr.. Geo.
E. Duis is state agent, holds nearly
100000 worth of unassessed notes and
mortgages in this county; also that
Mr.. Geo. E. Duis and his employers,
the Garr-Scott Co., hold thousands
upon thousands of dollars worth of as
sessable securities in other counties
of this state upon which no taxes are
paid-a list of which will shortly ap-
pear in The Evening Times.
