The thoroughness with which Hon,
James N. Kehoe prepares for his
work in Congress is shown by the
instance in which he made a trip
on horseback through the upper Big
Sandy Valley to see for himself the
superior coal veins Of this valley
This made II possible for him to
enthusiastically advocate the inn
provement OF the Big Sandy and "a
intelligently answer the searching
questions propounded by the River
and Harbors committee This IS
the kind of Congressman Big San
DIV needs.
The Big Sandy news. [volume] (Louisa, Ky.) 1885-1929, 1906-10-12

Kehoe made record in Congress
that was highly satisfactory to the
people OF his district, regardless of
politics. He is an inveterate work
er, does not drink, wastes no time
on banquets and social functions
but works all the time. In this
way he gets results. Big Sandy
river received more money during
his administration than ever before
or since. He has the ability and
tact necessary to SECURE what he
goes after.
The Big Sandy news. [volume] (Louisa, Ky.) 1885-1929, 1906-10-12

The people Of Maysville never fail
to support James N. Kehoe, regard
less OF politics. That is his home and
no higher recommendation can be
given man than such as this. No
word of condemnation comes from
-the city that has known him from
his birth. On the other hand, only
words Of praise are heard along
with 'the story OF ibis steady rise
from poverty and obscurity to honor
and fame Go TO the polls Nov. 9th
and vote for him.

Eureka from Paradise. California, on
April l to fill the pulpit in the Presby-
terrain Church of Eureka. left Tuesday
for Los Angeles, California, via Salt
Lake. en- route to his home in Butte
County, California. DR.. Compton has
been a minister Of the gospel for a
good many years. and a great student

of religion. His mind is well stored
with knowledge. and during his short
stay in Eureka those who attended his
services in the Presbyterian Church
listened to m that were instruc.

in this field. he thought it advisable to
make the change without delay owing

Friday that a new train will be put ON
the Eureka and Palisade Railway be-
ginning next Monday. The increased
