P~ossibly-just possibly-the Colbyites in Hudson County are
right IN their contention that Senator Colby would be a stronger
Gubernatorial candidate in that county than Frank Sonner,
but that is certainly not the case in Essex. N
There is some curiosity to know why the Hudson folks are
so urgent in their revival Of 1.-The Colby boom. They know full
we'll that Senator Colby won't run. Rightly or wrongly, their
attitude creates the impression that they want to get UP on the
regular band wagon, not so much because of love, but rather
through expediency. In the various moves that they make
they never lose sight of the fact that the reelection of Mayor
Pagan and the extinguishment of Colonel Sam Dickinson are the
paramount issues. J. M.

Cut from an expensive comforter q
piece abou the size of your wife's hrst

comforter. but II will also destroy the
ache. Dip this piece of comforter into
some kerosene until entirely saturated.
Then push into cavity of the tooth and
hammer 1t in firmly with a croquet mall
let. This will Immediately relieve the
pain; whereas, II you went to a dem
fist. besides relieving you of the pain
he would relieve you OF perhaps two

taste in your mouth 1t can be remedied

Country Looks Good to Him.

H. A. James returned Monday
from his trip to South Idaho
where he attended the land open
ing at Jerome and was success
full in securing a valuable 4O-acre
tract within one and one-half
miles of that town. He said the
opening was huge success and
practically all of the land was
drawn. People were there from
all over the country and every
state from California to Maine
was represented at the opening.
AS a sample of how valuable the
land was considered, he said an
agent of a big corporation was
there and offered a bonus of $40
an acre to all men drawing land
who wished to dispose of their
holdings, but very few took ad-
vantage of his offer. Lots in the
new town of Jerome were also
put on the market while he was
there and a large number were
sold at figures ranging from ST.
900 to $1,000 per lot for business
locations, He said the bank at
Jerome received deposits to the
amount of nearly a million dollars
in a few days, which showed
that most of the people investing
in the new land are in good shape
financially. Mr.. James is highly
impressed with that section of
Idaho and expects land there to
become very valuable in the
course of a few years.

he will decide to use the building
for has not been stated but a
machine shop or an implement
store is being mentioned and it is
putt te probable the latter will be
the business engaged in. Mr..
Hoene is we'll known in this sec
ton, having run a sawmill near

will build up a good business in
whatever line he may undertake.

Simpkins.

D0fIrOad Teams

Nwenty-fOur Fine Horses, Draw
ing 10000 feet of Lumber, Af-
ford Fine Sight on the Streets
of Cottonwood.

One of the incest sights seen
in Cottonwood for many days
was viewed by our citizens last
Saturday morning when four of
the big railroad teams employed
in hauling lumber for the bridges
north of town were lined up on
Main street and photographed
by E. M. Ehrhardt. The teams
consisted of "a as fine horses as
one could wish to see, each of
the four drivers having six
horses hitched to two wagons
loaded with lumber. The four
teams hauled close to 20,0 feet
of lumber, or nearly 5000 feet
to a team, and were pleasing
sight, both when standing still
and when strung out on the
road. In the teams were sever
al horses purchased here at
prices ranging from $225 to $275
each. Mr.. Truax, the contractor
owning the teams, finished his
work on this side of the canyon
the first of the week and left
Tuesday morning with his teams
and equipment for Kippen
to do some hauling there.
