SHADY ROAD BUILDING.

Students of A. F. l. Meet With Success.
 Auburn. Aug, 15-(special)-Exten- sive and interesting experiments are now under way under the auspices of the Polytechnic in the iine of road engineering.
 Professor G. N Micham of the chair of Civil Engineering has this interest ing work in hand. An experiment Of especial interest is to be made in lay ing down 500 square yards. of stand- ard asphalt macadam binder material being incorporated in the road material and an equal amount of road oil win be sprinkled on other material.
 An experiment Is also under way with the petrolithic process which ti one of the most satisfactory modern methods of road building.
 Professor MftchAm has just returned from an inspection of the roads of California and has examined their building in every stage of progress.
 The work done by the Polytechnic Institute for years in this line has at tracted wide attention.

MAY TABOO CHILE.
Controversy Over the stands fin Sam
 Antonio.

San Antonio. Tex. Aug. 15.-(Spec- al)-TamalavilIe's Chile stands are once more in danger of elimination.
 The local health board Is not sat- isfied with the decision of the Board of Aldermen to have them continue in business and add attraction to the streets and plazas of San Antonio ct night.
 The first claim made was that the clientele of the chile stand ate too much dust and sand and Q plentttude of dangerous microbes. Some of the aldermen took the stand that cer- tain amount of sand in the food is a good thing for man, and besides that. the chile stands had such a lot of roc mantle features that they were loath to dispense with them.
 Though the "chile queen" who could do tamales. ensilades. tortillas. fri toles and chile con carne to just that touch of peppery excellency where nothing tasted better, is no more, ex- cent in rare instances, they were quite willing to have the stands contiue or die a natural death for the lack of patronage.
 Now the health experts claim that the food spilled over the plazas causes A multitude of flies to live in para disc and become a sort of mighty nu- cIeus from which the fly pest of the city is constantly reinforced. The ar xument is that while sand may be good for ones digestion, the germs carried about by the flies are not. and that for this reason the chile stands ought to be relegated to the halls of antiquity.

A NEAR MURDER
 WAS NOT REPORTED

John Grant. a negro is confined to a local infirmary. with fractured skull. as the result of being hit by a brick, alleged to have been thrown by Charles Bullard. also a negro.
 Grant lay at deaths door for sev- eral days. and 1t Is said that no re- port of the case was made to the police. By a mere accident Constable Rapport learned of a fight which had occurred in the vicinity of Swaynes College. several days after the en- counter and his investigations result ed in the discovery of the wounded negro at an Infirmary.
 The authorities point to the fact. that if Grant would have died. the mur- derer would have had no trouble at all in escaping. In, fact, the authori- ties say that most likely no report of the matter woud ever have been made. as 1t is not known that the attending physician realized how Grant came by his wound.
 Bullard. 1t Is said, hurled a brick at Buck Hutchinson. during fight August 5. The brick hit Grant, in- stead of Hutchinson. fracturing the skull and causing a wound which 1t was at first believed would be fatal Grant is not yet out of danger. Bull lard was released on bond.

 date For Governor.
 Birmingham, Aug. ls.r--(Special. )- The campaign that will be wagsd in Alabama for and against the consti- tutional amendment so as to bring in' to the constitution of the State the prohibition law, will develop the can didates of the prohibition party for the State offices, Governor and down the entire line.
 That there will be a full set of off,, cers appears to be a certainty and re. marks that have been made by prom tnent leaders of the. prohibition ole ment in this section of the State, where the cause has had its foundaticn prac- ticaily. directs attention to the fact that the candidate who will carry the white banner to the Governor's office has not been announced. The state- ment made. here, @ few days ago that in the next State Campaign that there will be a cause for the candidates to work for and personal ambition Will not bs 1sxziowssy -leeds Co the ssuFmise that othefs candidates will be brought out zs
 And, this very condition of affairs gives hope to those who are not alto- gether pleased with the constitutional amendment on the prohibition question, though not anxious to return to the open saloon proposition.
 That there will be great campaign waged for the constitutional amend ment goes without saying. Some of the men who are in the field for State offices have already announced their intentions of taking the stump for the cause Many prominent men have signed petitions saying they will not vote for the constitutional amendment but will belong to the Safe and Sane Club. Prominent men are thus arrayed against prominent men and the hust- ings promise to be kept real hot to the end.
 The campaign will make some split. even among the prohibftionisfs, the antis. figure and then the local option man may come along and gather in the gravy" as 1t were.
 Hon. III. S. D. Mallory, of Selma, who announced for the gubernatorial nom inatfon few months ago and is to so on the stump in behalf of the consti- tutfonai amendment will receive q strong following. There appears to be but little doubt as to Judge s. D. Weakiey, former chief justice of the Supreme Court being q candidate for Governor, his work in behalf of pro- hibitien in the past two years war ranting him receiving some honors. say his friends These will array two big interests right from the starr. Then comes Emmett O'Neal and Senator 6pragins, who are local optionists.
 Alabama Is destined to have 6 great amount of politics for months to come for after the amendment campaign the State primary or election campaign will start

1-3 Off on Blacks and Blues
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1909-12-01
sEcoNp 10 DENVER.

Denver papers explode a sensational
bomb of boasting, to the effect that the
building permits of that city will total
twelve and q half million dollars for the
year nineteen-nine.
Salt Lake viii have nine million. The
record is close to eight million now, and
the contemplated work Of the next
month is going to send the figures up
more than an additional million.
Denver wouldn't thank any one to
credit her with less than two hundred
thousand population, Salt Lake doesn't
expect to have the census bureau report
more than a hundred thousand here.
Population considered, Salt Lake
beats Denver's building record-easily.
Speaking exactly, Salt Lake is doing
more substantial building than any
ether city in the United Safes, size con-
sidered. And whether or not size be
counted, the growth of this city makes
investment here more sure, and profits
more certain, than in any other tow
east or west, north or south.
And next year the Denver record vii
be passed by the building achievements
of Salt Lake.
