The county committee Of The
new third term progressive or Bull
Moose party held an important and
interesting convention in the din
ing room Of the Foreman house in
Laclede Sunday. While the Blade
was naturally not represented
there, it must have been an impor-
tant session or it could have wait
ed until some other day than Sum
day and it must have been interest
ing because it lasted from shortly
afternoon until supper-time.
Part of the committee took din
.ner at the Foreman house Sunday
and after dinner asked if they
might have room for "a few
minutes private conversation. /"
Permission was readily granted
them to use the dining room, and
here they were joined by the rest
of the committee and stayed until
requested to leave in order that
supper might be served.
Among those present at the
meeting Sunday afternoon were
Fl. G. Myers, chairman Of the COM
mittee, j. @. Aber, John SENEGAL,
M. P. Greenhalgh, 3. H. Smith.
R. G. Burch, Robert Greer, John
Backman and other members of
the committee whose names we did
not learn.
Although Tuesdays Budget did
not have a line about this Sunday
meeting, the Blade was not asked
to observe silence about it, and
they have precedent for their &C
ton, as the old-time popuIists
occasionally held conventions in
the park in Laclede on Sunday.

THE CARTERCAR
AS H|LLCLIMBER

In a recent attempt at hill climb
ing, a Cartercar assembled an incline
of IS 1-3 per cent at Forest Grove,
Ore. In the past the Cartercar has
very frequently driven up a 80 per
cent incline which is about per cent
sleeper than the average car can
climb.
d. B. Hull, representative Of the
Cartercar Company on the Pacific
Coast, had arranged with some con
tractors to build an incline at Forest
Grove and then, without having seen
it, he took a party from Portland out
to show them what the Cartercar
could really do in hill climbing work
2 Upon his arrival, he was greatly as
tonished to see that the contractors
had made a mistake and built the up
right portions Of the wooden track
? - feet higher than the blue prints
called for. This made II 1-2 foot
raise in 30 feet depth, which made it
a 5S IS per cent incline.
Mr.. Hull would not back out with
cut trying after he had gone to so
much trouble, therefore proceeded to
see what the car would do on so
steep a grade To his pleasure and
the surprise of those who were with
him, the car climbed the grade with
little difficulty and, on repeated at
tempts, went to the top with seven
passengers in the machine.
It is said on the coast that this is
the steepest incline any car has ever
assembled

laughs. Manager Choate declares he

two thoroughly dead mallard ducks
