Several letters were read from
our congressional delegation in

suited in the election of Sam
Mothershead as mayor: Platt
Randall, recorder; DR.. w. c.
Brown and A. C. Welcome, coun-
cilmen; ]. C. Welcome, treasurer
and NJ. F. Williams marshal.
No name appeared on the bal
lot for mayor owing to the inter

should not be placed upon the
ticket without first being accept
ed. VIM. Fares name had been
submitted together with others
on a petition but Mr.. Fare be-
ing absent his acceptance was
impossible even should he have
been willing. A petition was
circulated asking that Sam Moth

ballot as a candidate for mayor
but Sam refused to accept. Thus
it was necessary that voters
write the name of their choice
for mayor which resulted in a
majority for Mr., Mothershead,
Mr.. Clevenger also refused to
accept and as result but three
names for councilmen appeared.
Jake Welcome had no opposition
for treasurer.

The condition OF the iron trade con-
tinues highly satisfactory. The first
week under the new tariff gives little
evidence Of that measure affecting the
trade in iron and steel products TO any
important extent this year. although
there Is much more inquiry for prices
on foreign material on which duties
have been reduced, and English iron
has advanced There is some confus-
ion in alloys. and zinc has advanced in
price. Scarcity of labor, especially In
machine shops and in mining opera
tions, is becoming factor of increas-
ing Importance. The Steel Corporation
will maze new records in ore ship
