Will Not Embarrass Mitchell.

They presented their recommendations
for appointment. IL was understood that
the list was rather extensive. although
Mr.. Koeng would give no inklirg Of the
number of names il contained.
The Republican leaders made no request
for certain places They presented a list
of names of Republicans who had done
good work for the fusion campaign and
who in their opinion were entitled 10
some recognition. They do not wish to
embarrass Mr. Mitchell by trying TO fit
any OF the men into particular Offices.
However, if any Of the men named wish
10 make personal application TO the
Mayor-elect they may DO so.
1t is safe 10 say that the names Of
Martin SAKE ana Dr.. Frederick l.. Mar

former Senator and former Assistant

no one was more en-, led to recognition

be stated on the best Of authority that
neither would accept any appointment

OUTLOOK FOR THE YEAR 1918 IS
FULL OF PROMISE FOR FUTURE
OF THE CITY.

How many people remark about the
present outlook for the year 1913?
There is moi pessimist TO be found
anywhere. Everybody sees indications
OF good times ahead OF us.
Building contractors are looking
forward to the gveatest building boom
in residences that theer has ever been
in Fairmomt They base their pros
poets upon the numerous inquiries
received from the people Oil the cost OF
constructing homes. Lumber dealers
claim for their business that they
have never had the OutlooI; for a hea.
w building season as they have This
year.
Levi H. TIarr the real estate man,
says that We are entering upon the
brightest prospects for a good local
real estate business thar Fairmont
has enjoyed since 1904. There are al
ways some trading in Fairmont real
estate going on among our own peo.
pie but that this is the first year
when tho attention, it appears, OF the
entire country is centcred upon our
city as Il good place TO invest.
Mr.. EIarr has letters from people
desiring to buy homes and lots i'll
Fairmont from different sections of
the country. He also has notices that
many people WHO sold their properties
here and went to Idaho. Ohio and
Mexico. are selling their properties
and propose 10 return to Fairmont.
One of FaiYmUnt's local business
men on Il round trip 10 Denver a few
days ago, remarked on his return that
he believed Fairmont 10 be better
town than any towns that he saw dur
ing his travels.
The small investor and the public
should profit by these experiences,
Many differences may arise as TO
the proper aud best location in which
TO make an investment. and as to
questions OF development and public
improvements. but no general mistake
can he made in piuiug your faith 10
