From fridays Daily.

Road and other matters were con.
sidered at meeting of the advisory
board of the Commercial club, yester-
day afternoon. County Commissioner
John III. Hohmann was present. 1t
was decided to join with the Auto
mobile club in entertaining the men,
bers Of the various town boards at a
dinner in this city about the middle
of March. It was thought best to de-
fer this dinner until after the town
ship elections March 10, so that the
incoming members may be the guests,
and also to have the meeting close
to the time of the spring breakup Of
the roads. 1t is intended to have the
Dunn law thoroughly explained by
those competent to do so, and also
to try to agree on some plan of
road improvement that will lead to
+, the greatest good to the greatest
number, and eventually bring about
the improvement of every road in
the county.
a bill was received from George
W. Allyn of Madison Lake for drag
ging the Madison Lake road last
spring, when it was most needed, and
it was voted to pay one-half of this
bill, it being understood that Mr.. Al
lyn expects the Automobile club to
pay the other half.
Road Situation Talked Over.
The road situation was talked over
in a general way, and it was thought
that the outlook was never brighter.
The county will have far more money
than it ever had before for expendi-
ture on roads and bridges, having
made a tax levy of $4,000 and ex-
pecting to receive anywhere from
$4,000 to $4,000 from the state good
roads fund.
One piece of good news was given
by Commissioner Hohmann, when he
stated that the county board proposes
to improve the road to JudsOn over
Minneopa creek the coming year. 1t
is proposed to build new bridge
over the creek, and to raise 1t ten
feet, and reduce the grade of the hills
on each side and make them in good
condition For long time these
hills have been almost impossible for
heavy loads, and much Inconvenience
has been caused to the farmers who
are naturally tributary to Mankato
from that direction, This is the last
real bad hill on any road leading
into Mankato, unless it be the hill
on the .Pohl road, just beyond the
iGlenwood avenue road
Paid the $50.
1t was reported that the club mas
paid the $50 that it promised the
farmers who have brought about the
great improvement of the hill leading
to the bridge over the LIE Sueur river
south of the poor farm. 1t was also
reported that the farmers OH the
Pohl road are raising fund for re.
grayeling and improving. that road, and
the club will assist them. In fact, it
is the policy of the club to assist the
farmers wherever they take the lead
and themselves made a liberal dona-
tion Of money or labor.
Several factory propositions were
talked over. 1t was, also. practically
decided to have meeting of the en-.
tire club early, in January, when there

PHOTOGRAPHY
REVOLUT|ON|zED
BY NEW INVENTION
Films, Plates and
Dark Room Made
Unnecessary
New Camera Takes
Finished Pictures
in Two Minutes

Mr.. Edmond F. stratton, of New
York City, has invented camera that
takes and completes pictures ready to
see in two minutes, It does away with
the expense Of buying films or plates
and the trouble, expense and delay Of
having them developed and pictures
printed by photographer. The cam
era has a fixed focus lens and there is
no delicate focusing mechanism to get
out Of order or for you to learn to
operate.
This camera, which is called the Cor
don Camera, is being manufactured by
the Gordon Camera Company, 1887
Stuyvesant Building, New York, n. Y.
AS they are desirous Of making ii
known in every locality, they are max
ing special offer to our readers. For
a limited time they will sell models A,
B and C at half price. The regular
price Of Model A, which takes pictures
2hx31s inches, is $5, but it will cost
our readers only $3.50 Model B (reg-
ular price, S10), which takes pictures
3M Mx5Ea inches, will cost only IS, while
Model Q (regular price, S15), which
takes both sizes, will cost only $3.50.
Whichever one you order, enclose 90
cents additional to cover parcel post,
sensitized cards and developing pow
ders.
The sensitized cards are wrapped for
daylight loading, and the powders make
the developing solution to be put into
the developing tank, which is inside
the camera. Model A is 5x83ax9 inches
in size, and weighs pounds 4 ounces.
Model B-6x9x10 inches. weight Q
pounds IA ounces. Model C-6x9x10
inches, weight pounds 2 ounces,
The cost Of taking pictures with the
Gordon camera is almost nothing in
comparison to all other cameras. Ex-
ira sensitized cards (21a1312) can be
bought for IL cents each (3Ax57a for
3 cents), and 10 cents worth Of de-
veloper will develop over 40 pictures.
The Gordon Company sells flash light
lamps for so cents, which will enable
you to take pictures at night in your
own parlor, or out of doors.
The operation of this new camera is
so simple that any little boy or girl
can easily take pictures with it after
reading the directions sent with each
one. When ordering camera under
this special offer be sure to mention
that you are reader of The Salt Lake

This fabric, rubber-impregnated, is
built up with layers of pure rubber,
into the backbone of the tire. The
sides are reinforced with strips of
rubber, making the body strong where
the strain will come - eliminating
the chance Of rim trouble. The tire
is finished with the thick, tough
Goodrich tread.
This is the specially compounded
rubber which must meet the grinding,
wearing, humping, bruising contact
with the road. And it does it.
All of this-backbone and tread,
side-strips and beads converted into
a one-piece tire in the Goodrich unit
molding.
Our principle of unit molding was
the crystalization of our twenty-seven
years of experience with rubber before
VIC made the first American clinchcr
tire. This principle demonstrated its
exactness at the start; we have never
changed it.
In our unit molding the tread and
body become one-a unit.
The tread being of the tire, and not
simply put on it, naturally does not
peel nor strip.
Water and dirt cannot creep under
it to ruin the tire and place you in
danger.
The whole tire being unit, you are
insured long, uniform wear, You are
free from the risks caused by weak
spots and dead places from over-vul-
canizing which cooks the life out of
rubber.
Look at cross section of any Good
rich tire at your dealers, You cannot
detect layer line or separation. 1t
isn't there. Our unit molding has
unified the whole tire.
