"This job of governor is not such a
difficult one to man of business
training. 1t is larger, but not differ
ent, from the managing Of a system
of banks, or Of lumber yards, such as
we are conducting in our business
here. It might be different if the
state had large manufacturing inter-
ests with the consequent labor
troubles, etc. The most difficult task
I bad to confront this term was the
pruninx of the appropriations of the
legislature TO the income Of the state.
The members did not leave things In
the hands Of their committees on ap-
propriations, but passed bills reck-
lessly. AS result, I had to use the
veto to bring the sum down to about
1850, 900 from 81, 100000.
II have been reading your articles
from over the state with considerable
interest Two things are noticeable
to me. one is that I am not coming
In for much criticism, and the other
is that most of the leaders of the So
called ..reformers have an s'ex' in
front of their names. Most Of them
are men who failed to get the sup
port of their hons counties and were
dropped by the organization. Some
Of them may have genuine griev-
ances, but most Of them have been
honored by the republican party and
are disgruntled because their hopes
were not fulfilled IN certain direc-.

that I will get the delegation from

I did but little work-drove out and
saw a few of my farmer friends with
whom I have done business for nearly
30 years, and asked them to support
me at the caucuses If they could con-
scientiously. The result was that
many of the caucuses castlarger votes
than the precinct did at the previous
election. I secured the delegation
with little, if any opposition. Then
the democrats put up popular Scan
dinavian, who has peen in the county
almost as long as / have, and it was
said would loose the county, car

STEAM BRICK MAKING
The Pratt 8 Tinnin Yards Equipped TO
Mold $4,000 Brick Dsy--Im.
manse Drying Sheds,

We visited this week the brick
yards Of Pratt X linuin, just south OF
town, and witnessed the working of
their new steam process of moulding
brick, just installed by them. MIR
Pratt has long been successfully Ell.
gagged in making brick here, aud sev.
eral years ago took his son.in-law, W.
l.. Tinnin, into partnership with him
They used the old hand. molding and
yard-drying process, but about year
ago put in machinery to be run by
steam power and to mold brick from
the dry or slightly moistened dirt or
clay. II proved not to be adapted to
the dirt Of this section aud was no. a
success Recently they substituted
what is known as the Ideal mud
machine, and it works like a charm.
The machine has capacity for mould
ing about 1000 brick day and
they come out OF the molds as square
and perfect and almost as smooth as
pressed brick. 1t keeps two men busy
feeding the machine, aud a half dozen
or more to handle the molds AS they
come out Of the machine and carry
the brick to the drying sheds, for
which latter purpose an ingenious
truck is used to lift aud transport the
brick and put them in place in the
shed.
The immense drying shed is fitted
up with compartments and movable
shelves, with air passages between,
and the whole is covered with galvan.
lied iron, constructed in sections that
may be raised and opened to let in
the sunshine and closed at night oil
when 1t is raining, thus protecting the
brick in drying ou, for the kiln from
the weather. This shed will holt
80, 200 brick.
The pfesent plant cost about sS, 500,
aud is one OF the business enterprises
for which our town has reason TO con
gratulate itself. We wish our sper
getic friends continued success in thei
business.

aOoTHART COMMERCIAL COLLEGE
Close of the First and a Most Success.
fuI Year Of the Pennington School.

Moolhart's Commercial College
closed most successful year of school
this week and will reopen It's fall
term on Tuesday, Sept /, 1906. THE
TIMES is especially pleased to note the
very commendablo work done by thi.
institution, which was organized last
September, aud while it had from the
beginning many ardent supporters,
there were others who looked on il
with a suspicious eye; but, mindful
only OF the great responsibility re-
posed in him, Prof. Moothart labored
increasingly, giving his own personal
time and effort to the work on hand,
so that, at the closing this week, he
may feel amply rewarded indeed for
the large number OF students he has
been permitted to enroll 90 in num-
ber), as well as having the satisfaction
of graduating large percentage OF
this enrollment. To have accom-
plished such noticeable results in one
year was not expected by the most
ardent supporters, aud that our citi-
zens and the public generally owe
him their thanks and special commen-
dation as we'll as the pledging OF THEFT
intentions and determinations to aid
and assist him in every way possible
to increase, yea, double the attend
ancc the coming year This can be
done il we all give the support to this
school, rs well as the other Farm
ington schools, that we as citizens
should give, as to estimate the great
benefit derived from such an institu-
ton is impossible.
One thing is sure, that the tide Of
commercial education is rising rapidly
and more young men aud women are
yearly taking advantage of the oppor-
tunities offered by first-olass Business
Colleges. It has been demonstrated
that within reasonable time and
small outlay Of money young peopls
can be thoroughly qualified in this
kind Of school so as to become pro-
ficient stenogrnphers and book keepers,
enabling them TO 20 out in the busi-
ness world and make an honorable
livelihood with an excellent opportu-
nifty Of rapid promotion and increase
of salary from year to year.
Prof. Moothart has said from time
10 time that the demand for his grad
yates is at all times greater than the
supply. This speaks volumes for the
grade of work he is doing. With
these comments we would not have
the public understand that we are
partial TO this school, we are heartily
supporting all Of the educational in
stitutions Of Farmipgton, but this
being the youngest in our midst, we
feel it our duty to give it strong
commendation, and hence we wish to
urge upon our citizens the importance
OF not only keeping their children at
home in case they want commercial
educational work, or any other line Of
work offered by our other schools, but
urge that they forward the names o:
all young people interested to the diff
ferent principals so that free adver.
tising matter may be sent them. Be.
iieving that the closing Of the Moot.
har' College is but the beginning. as
1t were, OF school Of great magni'
! tude, we pledge our earnest present
, aud future support.

IN MEM0RlAM.

Mrs. Lucinda Mcllvane White, our
beloved president, was called home on
Thursday morning, June the twenty
first, nineteen hundred and six. "Like
a shadow thrown softly and sweetly
from a passing cloud, death fell upon
her,"
She organized our aid society
thirteen years ago, and for that many
years was our only president. At oil
times every member OF the Aid was
willing and glad to be guided by her
wise counsel and unerring Judgment. /
She was above the average in strength
of intellect, was 3 true leader of
women, and, in tho church, the sphere
OF her labors, she excelled. Her
strong common sense and kindly
manners made her practical and pop.
ular, and oil that she did was done In
the best and most attractive manner
and never failed to please and ediiy.
We shall miss her from the church
and In the social circle. but the loss
OF our faithful president is beyond our
power TO express. Under her direc-
ton the business Of this society was
kept in order and on the move all the
time; was never permitted to lag, but
was ever fourishing. For many days
yet to come will we hear that kind,
sweet, familiar voice, as we have
heard it so often, directing, inspiring
and entertaining. She has gone to
her reward, which we know is crown
Of glory; and her chair is vacant, but
the fragrance Of her long service. and
the memory OF it, will abide with us
aud cheer us on and on in the Masters
work-:he doing OF which she set us
such fair and precious example.
Her sons and daughters have lost q
dear, devoted, Christian mother--one
who ever joyed in serving them, and
the sweet incense OF whose prayers
ascended daily to heaven in their in
terest and for their eternal salvation.
Her many friends will sadly miss
her. To them her kindness and ten
derness was otter expressed In the
gift OF beautiful flower or some token
Of love that always accompanied her
in her. friendly visits.
Our Aid has not only lost q presi-
dent, one whose place can never be
filled, out q friend, q true friend, who
ever felt kindly interest in all Of its
members.
Farewell, dear friendi Those who
have known you and esteemed you fol
your sterling worth, your kind hear
your gentle disposition. your noble
traits of character, will remember you
as long as life 10 granted them. Tc
them your memory will ever b.
precious and your beautiful character
a guide that shall ever lead them or
to better thoughts and deeds.
| Resolved, That We tender our deep.
est sympathy to her family 10 tbeil
great sorrow, aud commend them tt
her Heavenly Father.
While we grieve and wonder why
there comes to US the beautiful word
Of her favorite song:
"Not now, but in the coming years,
1t may be in the better land,
Well read the meaning OF our tears,
And there sometime we'll understand
God knows the way, He holds the key
He guides us with unerring hand;
Sometime with fearless eyes we'll see
Yes, there, up there, we'll understand.
