NOTABLE INCREASE
IN ASSESSMENT

Little Rock, Oct. 11.-One of
the most notable increases made
IN the assessment Of property is
that of the Aluminium Company
of America in Saline county,
whose extensive plant is located
at Bauxite, a few miles below
Little Rock.
The Saline county board spent
considerable time making an in
vestigation. and has increased
the assessment from $4,000 900
to nearly 100000, which is be
lieved to be about twenty-five
per cent of the real worth.
1t is understood that the cor
poration is Incorporated for
S206, 100000, and it was recently
shown in 1908 dividend of SIG.
100000 was declared. The geo,
logical report shows there is
tifty'one million tons of available
ore on the lands of the company
In Saline county, which at SO a
ton would make it's holdings of
tremendous value.

PRICES ARE STILL
SOARING SKYWARD

In view of the fact that prices are
advancing on nearly every necessity
as we'll as the luxuries of life, some
one ought to compose q song, en-
titled "Everything is Going Up"
A few days ago Sheldon q Co.,
received notice that the price of
cement had advanced 90 cents .
barrel. Mr.. Sneddon also informed
us that everything in the line of
building material had advanced
from TO 10 per cent during the
past 80 days. The price of coal
has also jumped up to 90 ton, de-
liyered If there is anything on
which prices are not soaring sky
ward, we would like TO have some
one tell US what it ia.
We guess the only way to check
this onward march of prices will be
to elect democratic president and
q democratic congress.
That will sure do the business, if
we are TO judge from the conditions
which existed during the reign of
Cleveland and the Wilson, G orman
tariff bill.
But those who are old enough to
remember s'those trying times, "
especially the laboring men, the
farmers and the sheep men, should
think twice before they vote for
that kind Of . change.

BURRELL is FOR
TEDDY ROOSEVELT

K. A Burrell, who was in Boise
this week attending the Masonic
grand lodge, is thus quoted by the
Capital News regarding his position
on the presidential question:
eyes, | am supporter of Colon
el Roosevelt and hope and expect
to see him elected at the forthcom-
ing election, and there are lots of
other people who feel the same way
about it that ] do. | have not
been a supporter of Taft since his
act of signing the Payne-Aldricb
tariff bill, which convinced rue
that he did not intend TO keep his
personal pledges and his platform
declarations. Ar time has pro-
gressed and | have studied his
attitude | have become less and less
a Taft man. On the contrary,
while / have always had every con :
tidence in Colonel Roosevelt and
every faith III his patriotism. |
was not especially Roosevelt man
until just before the Chicago con-
vention and until | saw that he won
the nomination. He went ont
sqnarely and fairly before the re-
puhlicans of the nation and he won
that nomination At any rate,
Taft lost it and was only nominated
because the convention was stolen
IN his behalf. That is strong Ian
guage to use, but it states the truth
just the same.
81 have not as yet allied myself
with the Progressive organization,
because have not felt it necessary
to leave the Republican party in
order to support Roosevelt. l be-
lieve in reforming the Republican
party from within but in order to
get it in shape for reformation it is
necessary TO clean il up which, At
this time, can only be done by de-
feating Taft and by the election of
Roosevelt"

COUNTY FAIR HAS
Been POSTPONED

The Bear Lake county fair which
was to have been held next week,
has been postponed uniil-0ctebsr
p, 10, Il and Z. This was de-
sUfdgd upon at meeting of the di.
rectors held last Monday. Because
of the late season and bad weather
of late, the directors found that the
farmers are not in shape At this
time to make their exhibits, nor
even to attend the fair. By the 9th
of October many of the farmers will
have their threshing done and the
people generally will be in better
shape to make exhibits and il 10
believed the attendance will be
much better than If the fair had
been held next week.
Keep the dates in miDd-Oct.
8 to 1e and make up your mind to
have something on exhibition. A
splendid showing can be made If the
people will take time to prepare
samples from their farm, garden or
orchard.
