HAMILTON LEADS
/ FOR MAYOR
y Campaign Shapes Up With
' /. Many Candidates

An Official call for the city cleo
ton win be issued tomorrow. For
the past two months the citizens and
business men have shown but little
interest or concern with relation to
the election but as the time draws
nearer they are beginning to stir and
become active, and from now on uH-
til the polls close and the votes are
counted it is destined to be the chief
topic OF discussion. and the main
question OF consideration. That APP
plies to the people and not to the pol
iticians who are ever yigilant upon
matters of that character, and who,
as soon as the polls close at one cleo
ton commence to prepare, and lay
plans for the next, with a view Of
e1ecting those whom they will be
able to control in the administration
of affairs in their interest The peO-
pie in all elections are slow in de-
termining upon the issues upon
which a campaign is to be waged,
and the candidates which are to rep
resent them in ONCE. and the com
ing city election has been no excep-
ton, and so far no caucuses or as
semblies have been held. Whether
the so-called politicians have met
considered the situation, and decided
upon the issues and the candidates
to be placed in the field for the vari-
GUS offices can not be learned.
PrOgressiveness the Issue.
While there has been no definite
action taken by the people to eonsid-
er the issues of the election, and the
candidates, they have both been the
subject Of discussion on the street, in
the business institutions, the market
places, and the homes, and the con-
sensus of opinion among the voters
seems to be that there can be but one
issue in the campaign-that of pub
lie Improvement and progressiveness
along all lines that will tend to up
build the town and that will con-
tribute to it's general welfare and
good. The expression of opinion
among the citizens and business men
in general seems to be that a man is
needed at the head of the city gov
eminent who will give. it business
administration-wh will see to 1t
that sidewalks of a substantial and
permanent and uniform character
are constructed throughout the city,
and who will see to 1t that the streets
are taken out of their wild and chao-
tic state-gFaded permanently and
converted into highways that are be-
coming to city of the size and
commercial importance of Occur a.
Alene without doing the work over
each year. The people, according to
the sentiment generally expressed,
seem to want a man for the mayor
ship that viii not only give them an
economical administration. but one
who will at the same time proceed
with the work of building up the city
| in a systematic, judicious and wise
manner, and council composed OF
men who, will support him in this
work of public Improvement and
general progressiveness. and with

teawan, may soon have an opportu-
nifty to attempt to prove himself sane.
Application for a trial to determine
his mental condition will be passed
upon today, and counsel for the as
sassin of Stanford White are conf
dent that the result will be favorable
to their client.
Pending this trial the court has
directed that Thaw be given certain
privileges by the Matteawan authori-
ties which have heretofore been de-
MED him,
Thaw will be permitted to sit up
until o'clock at night while he is
getting his case ready for presenta-
tion. instead of retiring at s o'clock

Morschauser complained also that

Justice Mills suggested to the asylum
authorities that they give Thaw a
room for consultation purposes away

took the jury just % minutes to find
verdict for the defendant in the
Kelley-Arant damage suit, last of the
cases resulting from the criminal
prosecution of Jay Arant, who was in
dicted for the larceny of calf more
than two years ago. Arant was twice
tried on a charge of larceny, the first
trial resulting in disagreement,
while thhe second acquitted him.
Three cases resulted over the owner
ship of the calf, Jay Arant was, sub
sequent to his acquittal, arrested for
assaulting George Kelley, one of the
witnesses for the prosecution. He en-
tered plea of guilty to this charge.
The final case in the string of litiga-
ton was a damage suit brought by
Kelley for injuries resulting from the
assault. The jury held that there was
no cause for action.
The calf involved in the litigation
was worth approximately $10.- The
money expended in litigation will ag-
gregate close to $4,000, and of this
amount the taxpayers of the county
will be forced to pay not less than
! $4,000.

BUILDING MATERIAL
PLENTIFUL IN WEST

Washington.-The rapid growth Of
cities in Oregon and Washington has
caused a great demand in these states
for structural materials of all kinds,
and although some of these materials
are locally abundant and satisfactory,
others have to be brought from great
distances. Common bricks, which
form the principal components of
most buildings, are made in the vicin-
ity of all the cities, even within the
city limits, and the supply Of loan
suitable for making these Is very
great. Gravel and sand for concrete
and sand for motar are obtained in
large quantities in the immediate vi
cinity of the cities. Cement, how
ever which is so extensively used in
concrete, is produced at only one
place in the two states, and most of
that used is brought from distant
points, much of it being imported
from England, Germany, Belgium and
Japan. Building stones are hauled
many miles especially the kinds used
for interior decorations, most of which
are shipped across the continent.
High-class brick, terra Gotta, lime,
plaster and many other building ma
terials used in this region are produc-
ed at distant places.
{ Yet the most of most supplies that
are now brought from distant places
ha 1Nt-, ha
resources Of Washington and Oregon.
Limestone is available in ample sup
ply for cement manufacture; build
ing stones, even to the finest mar
bles, exist in some of the mountains;
and extensive deposits of clay, sands
and other building materials occur
at many localities near the coast.
An investigation intended mainly
to ascertain the local resources of the
gravel. sand and crushed rock used in
concrete in Portland, Seattle and Ia
coma has recently been made by n
H Darton. of the United States geo.
logical survey, and a report on the
work, published by the survey as
bulletin 3S7, is available for free dis
tribution. Representative samples OF
the structural materials were obtain
ed to be tested in the st. Louis lab
oratories Of the survey, and consider
able attention was given to the oc-
currence of limestone suitable for the
manufacture of cement, many locali-
ties being visited in that connection
The demand for building materials
in the northwest is we'll indicated by
the fact that in 1906 building opera
tions in Seattle involved an expendi-
ture of $11,e20,43S for labor and ma
terials, and in 1907 an expenditure OF
$13,577,700. In Portland the amount
in 1906 was s6,927, 971, and in 1907
it increased to $9,446,9S2.
Mr.. Darton's report also gives ref
erences to other sources Of informa-
ton in regard to building materials
available in the region treated. Ap-
plications for the report should be

WIDOW LOSES BAKER
LOT IF SHE MARR|ES

San Francisco, July 6.-Bidding
his wife, Mrs. Alice Carney Van Me-
ter, not to remarry within ten years
and during that time to take loving
care of his foster son, Jack Won Meter,
under penalty of forfeiting all inherl-
Edwin Van Meter has been offered for
probation in Judge Thomas F. Gra-
hams department of the Supreme
court
Upon investigation it was found that
the estate consists of lots in Baker
City, oregon, on which the total taxes
are 3S cents, and several certificates
of mining stocks said to be entirely
worthless. The will in part reads:
IT fully realize the uncertainty OF
life. and believing it to be for the best
interests Of all concerned, make this
my last will, BY It give and be-
queath to my wife, Alice Carney Van
Meter, a life interest in and to one
half of all my property, real and per-
sonal, on condition that she does not
marry again for ten years, and that
she at all times proves to be a kind
and loving mother to my foster son
known as Jack Van Meter, during his
minority.
''The wish that my wife should not
marry again before ten years is nos
through selfish or jealous motives, but
wholly and solely to prevent some
worthless man from marrying her for
what she may have and to prevent
any other man from gaining control OF
my little boy Jack"

NEWS FROM BOWMAN.
Too Much Rain Causing Discourag-
ing Outlook for Farmers.

Bowman, July Especial: After
some days Of hot scorching weather,
a rainy spell has again set in, with
yesterday and last night unseason-
ably cold. The precipitation was e1-
tremely heavy in several sections
around Bowman, and ploWIlS Is
again at a stand still. The cotton
crop had about recovered from the
backset given it from heavy rains
several weeks ago, but it looks now
as if the farmers of this section are
doomed to a short crop of the staple
this year. Very little cotton, as seen
by your correspondent from day to
day, has that healthy, vigorous ap-
pearance that it should have at this
season of the year. A good prOpOr-
ton of the crop has not been lacking
for proper cultivation of the soil, and
has been we'll fertilized, but still
much more backward than 1t should
be at this season of the year. The
heavy rains now falling in this sec
ton will necessitate later ploWins
than usual or much Of the crop Will
be left in the grass.
The chairman Of the board OF
trustees continue to receive appll-
cations for the position Of assistant
in the graded school here. The va
