weeks in Louisiana, Georgia and
Florida for the benefit of MIR. Nor
ris' health, which, we are very

In this issue of the REGISTER
will be found the announcement of
Thomas D. Jones as a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Treasurer of Iron County. Mr..
Jones has filed the Office of Treas
urer the past six years and has
proven himself an honest and up
right official. On this record he
and his friends ask due considera-
ton of his claims at the coming
election.
A letter from our young friend,
Mr.. r. L.. Farmer, at Warren,
Arkansas, advises us that he has
resigned his position there and
gone to Roswell, New Mexico,
where he expects to make his fu-
ture home. Bob has been in War
rem a good many years and was
very satisfactorily situated. He
makes the change in the hope of
securing better health for himself
and family. We wish him sue
cess in his new home.
Mr.. Fred A. Twomey announces
this week as a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Treas
urer of Iron County. Fred is a
splendid young man, a loyal DEM
ocrat, and well qualified to dis
charge the duties of the Office to
which he aspires. If Mr.. Twomey
is nominated and elected there is
no question but that the .Treasu-
rer's Office will be in safe and COM
petent hands during his incum-
bency.

Houck railroad now being built
into Pennington, will be extended
to De Soto and then to st. Louis.
This will be a big thing for DE
Soto, for no sooner than the road
is built the Frisco will take it over.
The Frisco is a keen competitor of
the Iron Mountain and this COM
petition will serve to adjust the
high freight rates which prevent
us securing the location of manu-
featuring plants in our Clyde
Soto Press.
A charge of 25 cents instead OF
S1.32 for the delivery Of a f1-pound
package on rural free delivery
routes, is in prospect, a the result
of the Democratic members of the
house committee on post Offices
and post roads in incorporating in
the appropriations bill provisions
for a tentative parcels post sys-
tenn. The committee members
also agreed upon a general do
mestic rate of IL cents and a max
imum package of 10 pounds. This
is the present International parcels
post rate.
1t is said that work in the Flat
River district is very scarce and
there was a good deal of suffering
there during the late cold spell,
It seems that nearly all Of the
work in the district is now done
by contract this; course, the com
panies claim, was the only solu-
tion of the labor problem. Under
this plan the companies have
nothing to do with the men: all
