Destruction of Concrete.

Since the failure of the sewer
system of Great Falls, Mont, and
the almost total destruction by
alkali salts of the concrete from
which it was built the attention of
the Colorado experiment station
has been drawn to specimens of
drain tiles from the Arkansas valley
and it is made the subject of re-
cent bulletin.
1t has long been known that con-
crete exposed to the action of sea
water has resulted in the destruc-
tion of the cement in many cases
and as sea water is rich in chlorides
and sulphates they are supposed to
be the destructive agents.
One sample of tiling from the
Arkansas valley had been laid only
eight or nine months but had dis
integrated to such an extent that it
was simply white putty-like mass
mixed with sand. Another con-
sisted of fragment of tile the in
terror portions of which had been
wholly decomposed while there
still remained an outer and inner
portion in good condition. Another
sample had been attacked on the
inner side leaving the outside por-
tion apparently sound.
The bulletin concludes that in
making concrete tiles for the drain
ing of alkali lands a greater por-
tion of cement should be used and
that even then the lasting qualities
of the tile are by no means certain
as it is likely to be attacked and
destroyed by ground waters con-
tanning a mixture of sulphate of
soda, lime and magnesia with which
is associated some carbonate.

A Kerosene Shower-Bath.

Most poultry keepers recognize
the value of kerosene as an enemy
to lice on fowls. but often neglect
to apply it in time. To dress a
large flock of chickens individually
wonld require considerable effort,
but device seen in use on a large
poultry farm does this automati-
cally and with excellent results.
In the bottom of small tin pail
is cut with a chisel cash barely
large enough to accommodate an
ordinary size lamp wick. Fill the
pail with kerosene, putting on a
tight-fitting cover to prevent spill
ing, and hang the pail Immediately
over the small door cut for the
fowls exclusive..use.
Each chicken as it goes through
will brush against the hanging
lamp wick, which will deposit its
drop or two of oil, and the hen will
do the rest.

Snow Storm General in
Mountain Reeiop

ALI November snow fall records
were broken Friday, Saturday and
Sunday. A mantle of white which
varied in depth from seven inches
on the plains to five feet on the
Continental divide descended upon
the state of Colorado. States to
the north received similar treatment
and Kansas, Nebraska, Texas and
New Mexico experienced heavy
rains.
In the San Luis valley at Del
Norte two feet of the beautiful was
recorded and almost as much at
Monte Vista. At La Jara about
eight inches ON the level fell. In
this part of the state no wind ac-
companied the storm and conse-
quently that terror of the railroads,
drifting snow, was entirely absent
and trains were not much later than
usual. Zero weather has prevailed
since the storm and no thawing oc-
CURED that any one could notice.
Old timers recall that eleven or
twelve years ago the valley was
visited by a similar early fall of
snow which remained upon the
ground all winter. 1t was the only
winter to the best of their recollec-
tion in which sleighing in the valley
was good. Be that as it may,
white winter makes green sum-
mer. More snow fell during the
recent storm than all last winter
and lots of snow in the mountains
means lots of water for irrigation.
The snow that falls early in the
winter is the last to melt in the
spring as it works down into the
crevices between the rocks and
packs as hard as ice, yielding plenty
of water for the water courses until
well into the month of July.
Winter in the winter time means
an early spring and summer all
summer long. So cheer up, Mary,
plenty of water and bumper crops
for the valley are assured for next
season.

The Ea stern Star Entertains
the Grand Matron.

She came especially at this time to

there was an unusually large attend
ance to greet her. After the regular
routine of work had been gone
through with some little time was
devoted to work OF instruction,
There is much of the work that is
unwritten and especial care Is exer-
cised that there are no errors creep
into this work. After the Chapter
was dismissed the ladies of the order
provided a most delicious luncheon,
which lasted until after the mid
night hour.
Hugh Duncan Chapter of this cit,
is the oldest chapter in the state
and is said to have the Oldest Past
Matron in the state, who Is Mrs. j.
l.. KirtIey Sr., who was charter
member. This is the first time II

Yesterday evening Dr. Wbitwell,
who has been attending tho annual
meeting OF the Masonic Grand Lodge,
returned home. In talk with q re-
preventative OF The Recorder the
doctor states that they had one OF the
best sessions ever held In the state.
All OF the lodges were represented
and large number OF Masons from
various parts OF the state we're In
attendance, who were mot delegates.
rhe past year has been prosperous
one In Masonic circles. There have
been number OF lodges organized in
the state and the Older .lodges have
experienced eaithygrowth. lie was
highly complimented 10y the Grand
officers on his report, and the greater
share OF his recommendations were
heartily endorsed. The new Grand
Master, DIR. Hamilton, Of OwFhee, IL
an active Mason, and the indications
are that he will maintain the In
terest among the Organizations Of the
state.
When asked as To the political sit
uation, so far as the democratic party
Is concerned In the state, he is rather
pessimistic. The question as 70 the
regularity OF the ticket Is now In the
hands Of the referee. While the law.
yers OF the Dubois faction still seem
TO have faith that they will win
when the evidence Is submitted TO
the supreme yet there Is q question
whether the court decision will be In
their favor.
Dr. wbitwell Is convinced in his
own mind that the decision OF the
supreme court will be against him
and that Alexander will be declared
the regular nominee. lie Is In
condition OF mind that he personally
will feel no chagrin II the opinion OF
I the supreme court Is adverse. OF
course he feels that In case OF such
decision the democratic party In the
state has received blow which IL
will take years 10 recover from.
lie also stated that the feeling In
the state against the republican
ticket is very bitter. While Brady
has never been very popular with the
masses OF the party. yet would have
accepted bis nomination with bet
ter grace had he not been forced into
The fight which ignored the pledges
OF many Of the counties. The pres
sure brought 10 bear upon Brady
came near defeating him for the nom-
Ination. 10 fact II came so near that
he had only eight votes TO spare.
When asked what effect the inde-
! pendent movement now under way In
the north part OF the state TO place
another republican ticket Ia the ield,
! he stated that he knew there vas a
! movement on foot and call bad
J been made, but the success Of the
movement would depend upon the
momentum in formulating plans and
S the personnel OF the ticket IL Il
: not known that French Is in any
: manner mixed up in the revolt. but
n the movement was due largely among
y bis friends. He says there is ap'
e parently as much friction In the re-
J. publican party as there Is among the
J. democrats, but until the present
y time was beneath the surface.

TO VOTE ON BONDING THE COUNTY!
At the Next Election an Opportunity viii Be Given the Voters
To Say Whether They Want I New Court House.

The present rental Of quarters for
county business costs the taxpayer
$i 200 per year; and the present con-
ditions might continue for the next
twenty years and the county would
be no better of than II is at the pre-
sent time. The contemplated I'm
provements would include jail ~
well as court house. The present
Jail Is disgrace TO the county.
Most any expert criminal could work
his way out In twenty -four hours.
There are two OF three property
holders, who would be glad TO donate
the ground; at least an acre OF ground
upon which to place the county build
ines. IL Is true the interest upon
the bond would cost the taxpayer
more than the rent that Is now being
paid, but bv making these improve
ments at the present time 1t would
not he but a few short years until
the improvements would he paid for
and few would realize that they had
carried an extra burden.
The Recorder pays considerable
taxes, vet Is perfectly willing TO pay
less than two mills per year upon the
investment In order TO have this
needed improvement. II Is too early
To yet pass an opinion as TO how the
| project will be accepted by the tax
payers, yet we believe the bonds
should be voted; and what little In.

Root arrived at Tho United States
hotel this afternoon. lie is to act
as both temporary aud permanent
chairman OF the convention.
Chairman Timothy T.. Woodruff, Of
the republican state committee, went

they left the room together Mr.. Root
was told OF the rum0rs connecting

tFrom Lincoln dispatch To the
New York Worldl.
IL Is impossible for the eastern men
TO understand the confidence and op.
timism OF Mr.. Bryan's friends here
In the west. They are absolutely
convinced that Mr.. Bryan is going to
be elected by as big vote as Roose-
welt received four years ago, and that
Taft is going TO be the Judge Parker
OF the campaign.
They say that the tide now so pow.
eriul In the west will reach New
York inside Of six weeks and that
then tie New Yorker, always late,
will begin to realize what Is going
on In the country. Richard l.. Met.
calf, editor OF Mr.. Bfyan's Commoner
who has Just returned here from a
trip to Chicago. where he was busy
getting out the campaign text book,
voices the general view OF the Bryan
men In the west.
"Mr. Bryan is going TO sweep this
country 10y landslide" he said
"There is political tidal wave
coming and the people In New York
City have not walked up to II yet.
There has never been anything In
the political history OF the west like
the turning 70 Bryan OF republicans.
You hear the same story In any

cans by the dozen who have never
voted anything but the republican
ticket are going 10 vote for Bryan
this year, and they do not hesitate /,
announce their intention. There ha,
never been anything like II. The re
ports are so favorable to Bryan thai
neither OF the national committees
will believe them.'
This is the kind OF talk that Il
heard on every hand In the west, anC
which makes the easterner prick ~
his ears and wonder whether or not

way.
Republican leaders admit that tber'
Is going 10 he great falling OIL II

admit that Bryan IL likely TO carr

Justice Sullivan called attention to
the fact that fraud was charged here,
stating that In neither OF the Idaho
cases cited has similar charge been

Mr.. johnson replied that the plain

A an adjourned meeting Of the
county commissioners this week the
matter OF bnilding a county court
house came up for lengthy discus
sion. An order was made to submit
the matter OF voting bonds TO the ex-
tent Of 10 thousand dollars to the
electorate this fall at the general
election.
IL was suggested that 80 THOUSAND
would 5e sufficient TO build Tor the
needs OF the county for a good many
years, but The Recorder agrees with
the board that while the county Is
contemplating the bonding OF the
county for this purpose IL Is better TO
build for the future and not for the
present entirely, IL has been sua-
sested that II the entire amount OF
40 thousand was not required the bal
ance could be used In refanding the
present outstanding bonds, which
amounts to not over % thousand.
Bonds issued by the county could he
sold for not over six per cent and
possibly they could be placed for less.
even at this figure the interest on
this amount would cost the taxpayer
less than two additional mills on the
assessed va luation. This would be
