United Mine Workers Will
Elect New President by
Ballot of Locals
TWO MEN Want PLACE

Indianapolis Ind, Dec. 4.-The local
unions of the United Mine Workers of
America will ballot next week to choose
successor to President John Mitchell,
who has been the national head of the
great organization for the past ten
years. The ill health of Mr.. Mitchell
has forced his retirement from the pre-
idency, a position to which he conld un-
doubtedly have been reelected had he
so desired.
There is a general feeling that with
a new man at the helm of affairs there
will be some radical change in the pol
icy of the big labor oganization. For
this reason the election next week is
awaited with keen interest in labor and
industrial circles
Two candidates are in the field for
the presidency. They are Thomas L.
Lewis, vice-prcsdent of the organiza
ti0n, and William B. Wilson, secretary
treasurer. The indications are that Mr..
Wilson is slightly in the lead, though
' iC'-I ltNll'nl lst"lS Is tAptCt'u w
give him close race.
OF the two, Mr. Wilson is probably
the better known, as his position of
secretary treasurer which he has held
for many years, has brought him into
close relations with the rank and file
of the organization throughout the
country Mr.. Wilson comes from Penn
sylvania, where he has long been prom
inent in labor affairs and more recently
has taken an active part in politics as
a representative of organized labor.
Vice President Thomas l.. Lewis, the
opponent of Mr.. Wilson for the presi
dency, is resident of Ohio. He has
been active in the affairs of the mine
workers for many years and is probably
as well known to the membership as
Mr.. Wilson. Reports have been circu
lated that President Mitchell and Vice
President Lewis are not on good terms.
but these reports are denied at the gen
eral headquarters in this city.
There is little contest for offices out
side of the presidency. Should Mr..
Wilson be chosen president it is prob
able that William D. Ryan of Illinois
would be chosen to succeed him as see
retary treasurer of the national orgOui-
cation. Mr.. Ryan at present fills /
similar position with the Illinois organ
ization. John p. White of Iowa is the
only candidate for vice-president.

PERSONAL HYGIENE.

Statistics show that only ten per
cent of the human race dies from nat
ural causes, that of the wearing out of
the body through old age, illness and
poor health result in most cases from
ignorance, carclessness or intemperance
There are many forms of intemperance
besides alcoholic intempcrance. We
may be Incorporate in eating, sleeping
or in work or play Any of these in.
temperate forms may be nearly as .di'-
astrous as alcoholic intcmperancc.
Everyone has his own personal limi
tations and we should all study our
own case and try to improve our condi
tion.
Since man has both mental and spir.
itual life, as well as physical life these
must be considered in any study of
right living.
There can be no perfect happiness
without perfect health; also, there can
be no perfect health without mental
and spiritual health, which gives hap
pncss.
Adjustment comes into the problem
of right living and it j. necessary to
know as much as possible about our
body to enable us to make the most
feet adjustment to the complexity of
modern life.

COURT D1sM1ssEs A WATER SUIT

The case of Harriet s. Brown and
Samuel Stevenson against Brosius and
Watson wherein the plaintiffs sought
to acquire from the defendant two Gu
bic feet of water per second of time
from the Rifle Creek Canon ditch be-
cause of ten years adverse usage, was
thrown out of court by Judge Shumate
Monday The court held on the facts
of the case as disclosed by the plain
titfs that the plaintiffs would not have
the right of recovery. The plaintiffs
took time within which to consider
whether they would amend their com
plaint so as to present to the court n
statement of facts upon which recovery
might be had.
1t was argued that the two cubic feet
of water was worth 10000. An impor-
tant question in the case was whether
there could be an adverse user on the
part of one interested in the same ditch
and whether the right was with his ad-
yerSary.

WILLIAM R. THOMPSON.

The community was somewhat
shocked on Saturday morning to learn
that one of Rifle S old settlers and bGsi-
ness men, VIM. Il. Thompson, had sud.
denly passed away on the previous
night. For some time Mr.. Thompson
had not been as strong as in former
years and during the past week he was
taken with angina pectoris and al
thought he persisted in being in his
place of business on the day of his
death, became worse and died at his
home at o clock on Friday night. Mr..
Thompson was born near Niagara Falls.
n. Y, in ls47. His parents had lived
in or near Rife and he became known
as one of the best saddle makers in the
country, He was known far and near
and to his personal friends he was all
ways plain "Biny" Thompson.
In 1902 he was united in marriage to
Virginia Chenoweth, who gave him the
best of care in his declining days. The
funeral service was held in the Chris
tian church, the pastor, Rev. Horace
Mann, officiating. The church was well
filled with friends and neighbors who
came TO pay their tribute of respect
to the memory of the departed. For
some time it had been Mr.. Thomp on 5

TORRENS LAND ACT.

Through error it appeared in yester-
day s Post that the Torrens land law
was declared unconstitutional. 1t was
declared constitutional. The author of
the law is Senator +. 7. Taylor. This
act was passed by the legislature in
1903 and abolishes abstracts and the
''abstract trust and simplifes titles
to real estate.
AS the system contemplates doing
away, sooner or later, with the method
of transferring title to real estate
through abstract and guaranty compa-
nies, it has met with large opposition
from this source, both in this and other
states.

CONCRETE BRIDGE AT BAsALT

The concrete bridge across the Fry
ing Pan river that is being built by the
Pueblo Bridge company, will be com
pleted in a few days. The bridge is of
solid concrete. including everything,
and with handrails; is constructed of
two 3O-foot archways, with l5-foot
roadway, which makes very artistic
and durable bridge that will stand for
ever. 1t is also reinforced by the Luten
rod patent, which is far superior to
anything in the reinforcement line,
while there is not one point of test
that is overlooked by the reinforce
ment. The work has been progressing
very rapidly under the able manage
ment of Mr.. G. +. Rieger, assisted by
his nephew, Mr. S. NJ. Zeluff, who are
both thoroughly acquainted with con
crete work These gentlemen deserve
the credit and good will of the citizens
of Basalt and the community at large.
This demonstrates that the Pueblo
Bridge company thoroughly understands
this kind of wok and that they bcliev,
in having men who are competent for
this line of work. 1t also shows the
good judgment of our commissioners
in erecting bridge of this kind and we
hope that hereafter nothing but con
crete bridges will be built in our local
ity and throughout Eagle county-Ba

Cooking Hints BY Experts.
Two Famous Cooks give valuable Informa-
tion about Corn Starch as Cooking Help.

Two Famous Cooks give valuable Informa-
tion about Corn Starch as Cooking Help.
Comparatively few housewives realize
how great is the virtue of corn starch as
a help in cooking and baking. Alice Cary
Waterman and Janet M. Hill, the famous
culinary experts, have made special
study of this phase of cookery, with
results that are not only interesting but
surprising.
AS is well-known, quality in corn
starch is an all-important consideration,
and the two cooks found Kingsford's
Oswego Corn Starch to be the best for
every purpose. For example, the use of
this corn starch in bread results in fine
grain and delicious flavor, with crust
Unusually tender. The experts found
also that it greatly improves the consist
ency of soups. gravies and sauces, gives
ielies pleasing frmness for moulding,
makes pastries more delicate, and so on
through many helpful uses.
With a view to giving housewives
everywhere the full benefit of this investi

Interest at 4 Per Cent.
and Banking by Mail.

Commencing July LIST the Lamoille
County Savings Bank & Trust Co. OF
Hyde Park, VT, subject to certain limita-
tons, will pay interest at four per cent.
where money remains with the bank one
year or more.
The entire assets of this Bank are kept
in Vermont and loaned to Vermonters to
foster Vermont enterprises and to de-
velop Vermont industries. This benefits
Vermont, and makes for the security OF
the Bank. 1t means as near absolute
safety Of the depositor's money as it is
possible to have, fact fully proven by
the other fact that since the organization
of the Bank in 1889, it has never lost a
dollar by poor note, nor has it now, so
far as known, single piece OF poor or
doubtful paper.
The securities of the Bank are at home
where they can be personally examined
and passed upon by it's officials, having
in view not only the material but the
moral hazard which is oftentimes the
greater hazard surrounding an invest
ment.
Safety of principal rather than high
rates of interest has always governed IN
the investments of this Bank. 1t is es'
sentially the peoples Bank and the peo'
pie have confidence in its management
and it's safety. Its assets, together with
the liability of the Stockholders, offer
guaranty of more than 20 per cent. O
the entire deposits that no depositor shall
suffer loss.
Banking by mail, a speciality with this
Bank, is not only safe, but easy. Sent
your address on postal to F. M. Culver
Treas, or to c. S. Page, President, ant
you will receive by the first mail valuabl
information touching the affairs OF thi
