The Globe Gazette in it's
Issue of October, 18th, publish
ed an article purporting to
slow that Moody's fees in the
sheriff's Office for the first year
amounted to 100000, while the
fees collected by Sheriff Rob-
bins during his first year were
only $1S00.0O. inferring thereby
that Moody collected illegal
fees.
The above statements are
half true and half lie. Moody
did collect from tn county
about $4,000 90 during his fret
year in the Office, but out of
this amount he paid for the
entire expense of the Office in
Guiding deputies fees aud sal
aries, while Robbins collected
only his own fees and had each
deputy collect from the county
his fees or salary as the case
may be. When you add to the
$4,000 which Robbins drew
from the county the fees which
his deputies drew it will show
the expense to the county of
each sheriff for one year. This
the Globe Gazette failed to do,
because it would not make the
right kind of campaign litera-
tnre. Newspapers are suppos.
ed to give the whole story but
Bobbie Hughes does not like
Mr.. Moody and will stretch the
truth desperately to try to in.
jufe his reputation.
A few years ago Bobbie al |
lowed his newspaper to become
the mouthpiece of a few of
Moody's political enemies who
tried to besmirch his character.
He published many statements
claiming graft and corruption
and it cost this county thou
sands of dollars to find out
through the courts that the
charges made by his newspaper
and the gang were all false.

court and a jury of twelve good

Another possible use for Ignite
coal is suggested by the report that
st. Paul has perfected gas engine
that will utilize fuel of too low
grade for steam coal, by using the
gas directly in the production of
power. The briquette process has
been tried so often and so often
proven Impractical that similar sug-
gestions for the use of Ignite will be
watched with interest but not too
great confidence until the practical
value of the process is assured. There
are unlimited acres of Ignite in this
state and we have every confidence
that some day the coal will be util-
lied to the best advantage, and this
is not the case at the present time.
Ignite is bulky, contains much
water, Stacks, and except at points
nearly adjacent to the mines its fuel
value is lessened by the difficulty of
hauling it and it's tendency to change
in form and substance. There is
plenty of energy in Ignite but the
difficulty lies in getting that energy
to the point where it can be utilized,
In the cheapest and most economical
way. But, notwithstanding all this.
the Ignite mines are of vast value
to the state, in providing cheap and
abundant fuel for settlers, who can
well overlook the disadvantages of
its transportation in the abundance
with which it can be obtained and
the cheapness of it,, ,*l.'
