Major II. Miller

The democratic county convention
made no mistake when it named Major
II. Miller for county treasurer. He is
the personitication of honesty, integrity,
and industry, three qualities that en-
incntly fit him to handle the county's
cash.
Mr. Miller has been II resident of this
| county for many years and his record
as citizen is an open book, He was
elected county treasurer in 1892 and
served one term. He conducted the
office to the satisfaction of the people
and retired from it with clear record.
Not penny of the public funds was
lost to the taxpayers.
The record he made then and his
character rs citizen are towers of
strength with the people of Elko county.
These added to his wide acquaintance
throughout the county make him an
invinciblc candidate. He is Missouri
democrat who will have to be shown if
any attempt is made to take money
from the county treasury unlawfully
during his term of office.
While his opponent is worthy young
man and IN excellent citizen. the voters
of Elko county will make no mistake in,
placing the county's cash in the hands
of Major fl. Miller for tho next two
years.

L. G. Clark

The republican county convention
placed l.. G. Clark, the present sheriff,
i'll the field for reelection. He has filled
that Office three terms. His conduct of
the Office has won him the support of
the people of this county to such an ex-
tent that he had no opposition two years
ago.
His record rs an official is before the
people of this comfy and upon that he is
willing bt judged. That Sheriff Clark
is very popular man with the people
no one can successfully deny. That he
is hustler for votes with the faculty
of getting them is also true. His record
is IN opcn.book and anything we might
say would not add to- or take from it.
AS man and Il ncighbor he is hard to
beat. He is courteous to all with whom
he comes in contact.
While there are many good traits in
sheriff Clark. he has his faults like 9th
or men. about the worst of which is
his politics. If he were democrat, we
would like him better but he is chained
to his idols and the voters must take him
as he is.
Sheriff Clark, if reelected. promises a
faithful performance of his duties. His
record is before the people and on that

therefore imported 10000 coolies from In
dia. These men came on contracts OF
from two to five years, and their wages
were from four to fifteen dollars month
and rations. The native laborers were
paid about 10 cents a day.
Before the American workmen arrived
here a large part of the bridge material
was already in Mombasa. They left one
man there to see that additional materl-
ais were forwarded promptly, and came at
once to the seat of action. They put up
the bridges at the rate of something like
one week, and constructed the longest
viaduct in siXty-nne and one-half work
ing hours Had it not been for the en-
forced delays on the part of the govern
ment they would have undoubtedly COM
peted their work in seven months.
As it was, what they did forms one of
the wonders of civil and mechanical en-
gineering. The bridge material was so
made that it's pieces fitted together like
clockwork and that Notwithstanding 1t
was put into shape away off here, thou
sands of miles from the place of construc-
ton and in one of the most savage parts
of the world The materials in the VIA
ducts included about half u million feet
of southern pine lumber and more than
thirteen million pounds of steel The
steel was in more than one hundred thou
sand pieces and the heaviest piece weigh
cd five tons. The average weight was
about one hundred pounds per piece. The
greatest care had to be taken to keep
the parts together and in their own
places. Every piece was numbered. and
those of different bridges Were painted in
different colorS. Most of the natives
here look upon steel as so much jewelry,

place and in working order. This price
was about half that of the British esti-
mates and the time was less than one
third that in which the eight bridges al
ready constructed had been built. so the
American company got the contract 1t
carried it out to the letter. and had the
government done its part the work would
have been completed in the time specified
Owing TO delays of one kind or another
it really consumed five months longer but
it was all done within the space of one
year. which was just about half the time
that the British contractors asked to get
their goods ready for shipment.
How They Were Built.
The British were surprised at how east
ly and quickly the Americans carried out
their contract and how little they seemed
to make of it. The civil engineer who
was sent out to take charge of the con-
struction was little more than boy. His
uated at Cornell University only year
or so before. In addition to him there
was a Pennsylvania man named Jarrett
who acted as superintendent of conStruc
tion, and about twenty bridge builders
and foremen from different parts of the
United States These men arrived at
Mombasa in December, 1900, and they
had completed their work before the fol-
lowing Christmas. They acted merely as
superntendents and fancy workmen All
the rough labor was done by East In
dians and native Africans, furnished by
the British. When the road was started
the government planned to use only Afri-
cans. but they found this impossible, and
