Charles a. Schultz, candidate for
the REPUBLICAN nomination for coun-
ty assessor, was born in 1869 in
.Doddrtdge county, W. Va. His early
life was spent on a farm where he
acquired habits of industry and had
the natural surroundings to develop
a sturdy character. He attended
the rural school and at the age OF
twenty years went to Colorado In
search of robust health. After
spending two and a half years in
the West, Mr. Schultz returned. to
West Virginia in 1891 and was em-
ployed in Henry Hawker's hardware
store at Salem. He was also a clerk
in the postofice there for a year.
In 1898 MI. Schultz entered
mercantile life and he has owned
and conducted a shoe and furnish
ing store at Salem ever since. He
took a brief business course at sa-
lem College and has developed his
abilities and become a competent
and methodica1 booKkeeper. He has
held a number of responsible clerical
positions OF secretaryships. Nj.
Schultz was secretary of the Salem
Improvement Company which pur-
chased the Lowndes farm in west
Salem and donated thirty<sfx acres
to the state for a site for the Girls
Industrial Home. He took an ac-
tive part in securing that state in
stitution for Harrison county.
Also, Mr.. Schultz has been secre-
tary-treasurer of the Star Oil and
Gas Company, one OF the pioneer oil
companies of the county, which did
much to develop the field near sa-
lem.
Mr.. Schultz is a member of the
Baptist church and has held many

positions of worth and responsibility
in the church as superintendent OF
the Sunday school in his home
town, clerk of the church seventeen
years, also clerk OF the Broad Rum
Baptist Association and at present
moderator of that body, one Of the
prominent Baptist associations OF
the state.
The subject of this sketch is a
member of the knights Of Pythias
and here too has been in positions
of trust and responsibility as treas
urer, state representative and rec
ord keeper and master of finance.
For the last two years Mr.. schultz
has been assistant assessor Of Har-
rison county and has had
two years experience and training
under County Assessor Ernest L.
Pigott, reputed to be one of the
best assessors in the state. Mr..
Schutte has become familiar with
the details and manifold duties Of
that important office. his friends
believe the taxpayers will readily
recognize that experience and d.
versifed business training are I'M
portant factors in the assessors Of
fee. The party has this qualified APP
plicant in the person of Mt. Schultz,
and he is well and favorably known
in all the districts of the county.
Mr.. Schultz is a Republican from
principle and has been a consistent
worker in and supporter of the
party. He has never aspired to an
elective Office. If he is nominated,
his friends say, he will add strength
to the ticket.
Mr.. Schultz has been a careful
student of taxation, and this too
adds to his availability and prom
inence as a candidate.

Legal Proceedings Win Cost Port
Erin, In the lsle Of Man, a Con-
siderable Sum Of Money.

The town Of Port Erin, in the Isle
Of Man, was placed in a curious sit
uation the other day when the town
was put under arrest for failure to
satisfy an execution for f2,250.
Many years ago the high bailiif Of
Peel agreed with the Port Erin
commissioners for the purchase by
them of property overlooking the
bay. The new body of commission
ers refused to complete the pur-
chase. The high bailiff sued for a
specific performance. Judgment
was given against him. On an APP
peal to the privy council the matter
was RENTED to the Judge, who
made decree in favor of the high
bailiff. Lord Raglan having refused
to accept a motion in the house Of
keys voting 81, 900 from the revenue
in aid Of the Port Erin commission
ers, a constitutional deadlock arose
between the two branches Of the leg
islature. Tynwaid cut the knot by
empowering Port Erin to borrow the
necessary money, to be spread over
25 years. Port Erin commissioners
failed to raise the money promptly,
hence the arrest. All properties,
moneys and rights in rates have been
arrested, and the obligations in
Cured will involve a rate Of sew
eral shillings on the town.

a task were theirs. John Jones re-

GOLD in VALDEZ.

Thousands of gold seekers who
joined in the mad rush to the Klon-
dixie hurried over ground containing
that very treasure which they ex-
pected tn find at the end OF their
journey. Many of these gold seekers,
indeed, must have passed in sight of
the quartz vein near the Valdez
glacier which IL years later was de-
veloped into what is now known as
the Cliff mine This vein has aver
aged about $50 ton, mostly In free
gold, with little change in depth. the
concentrates running about z per cent
and carrying about 800 worth Of gold
to the ton, according to a report Of
the United States geological survey.
This is probably fair measure of the
gold content of the ores of the dis
trict, though many property owners
report contents ranging from SIS to
5000, or even higher.
The Cliff mine became productive
in 1910 and proved to be very profit
able. Its success greatly stimulated
prospecting by local miners and also
attracted the attention of nonresi,
dents. who quickly recognized the pos
sibility Of developing here new min
Ing district. Az result, several hum
dred lode claims were staked and con-
siderable development work was un-
dertaken In 1910 and 1911.
At this time Alfred H. Brooks, geolo-
gist In charge of the Alaskan work Of
the United States geological survey.
visited the region and made an ex-
animation OF fits possibilities. and his
report, just issued by the survey,
shows that the most encouraging fea-
ture Of the district is the fact that
one lode has been probably mined to
a depth Of about 400 feet and for
about 800 feet along the strike. So
far as can be seen. he states, there
are no geologic conditions at the Cliff

ARRANGING FLOWERS AN ART


There is probably no branch Of
woman's work in the home where
her personal taste and influence are
more Immediately recognizable than
in the way the floral decoration Of
the dinner table is carried out when
the mistress either undertakes the
task herself or sees that the flowers
are arranged strictly to her own on
the subject. Every woman who
wishes to be an ideal hostess should
understand the art Of arranging
flowers.
The successful arranging Of flow
ers is in itself a gift that is to large
extent denied to quite a number Of
otherwise artistic people. To exhibit
the flowers to the very best advan-
tage select those most suitable to the
character Of the decoration, making
the most Of the flowers at ones dis
posal and using the right kind Of
vases for each particular sort Of
flower is an art worthy Of study by
the woman who loves her home and
desires it to be as artistic as possible.
There are details in a table decora-
ton that to the artistically gifted
present few difficulties.
To those, however, who lack the
necessary gift all these appear i'm
posing obstacles. There is another
class Of persons possessing neither
taste nor talent, and to these such
difficulties are seldom apparent, for
the good reason that hardly ever is
an attempt made by them to arrange
their flowers otherwise than by Just
putting them in vases on the table;
perhaps an eminently wise practice
in the circumstances.
