High School auditorium tonight. Mr..
Young comes to the city with the
highest recommendations as violin

"Mr. Young is decidedly original. He

attempt of translation OF natural
philosophy into music.

Oil L0rdered for Paris Streets.

Sixty thousand gallons of oil will .be
used on the streets of Paris during the
season, or at least that is the amount
that has been ordered by the city for
that purpose. The oil should have
been here some weeks ago, but the
delay was occasioned through the in
ability of either the Standard Oil Co.
or the Indian Refining Co. to supply
the order.
IL is said the above amount of oil
will be sufficient to lay the dust for
the entire summer, and will only..be
received in installments necessary for
use. 1t is stated by Mayor Hinton
that the first installment of about 10.
900 gallons will arrive in Paris next
Thursday, when woIkmen will begin
spreading it upon the streets.
There have been large number OF
complaints heard regarding the dusty
condition of the streets. but owing to
the existing conditions there was nc
remedy visible, until those with whom
the city contracted to furnish the oil
could make the first shipment. Al
any rate it is possible we may not
have to endure the DUST but a few
days longer.

Mayor Hinton Issues Formal
- Announcement.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
the formal announcement Uf Mayor j.
T. Hinton as a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Mayor of the
city of Paris, subject to the action of
the Democratic primary August 2.
The announcement which was made
sevrea days ago. came as no surprise,
as it was generally known by those
conversant with the situation that the
announcement would be be forthcom-
ing at the first sigr of opposition, and
it was felt that an endorsement could
be asked by the present incumbent,
who for the past thu Zee. years has been
at the.head of the city's affairs.
During his present term of office the
affairs of the city have been conduct
ed on business basis, and consistent
devotion of time to the duties of his
| Office has been rewarded with perhaps
| the most successful term of office ever
held by local official.
| During the past three years there
| has been steady decrease liz the tax
rate of the city until at the present
time it is lower than at any time in a
decade. There has been a steady i'm
provement in the streets and thorough
fares of the city. and one of the most
notable improvements is the miles Of
excellent sidewalks throughout the
city. result of the labors of the pres
ent administration.
j.. During Mayor Hinton's term of
Office and in the face of a decrease in
the tax rate, there has been accumulat-
/ cd in the city treasury a neat sum after
canceling bonds. raying interest and
meeting the general expenses of the
city.
Due to Mayor Hinton's efforts East
ern capitalists were interested in a
proposition to extend natural gas to
this city, and 1t is probable before
next fall citizens of Paris will be pro-
vided with this convenience, which will
result in great saving.
The assurance of a hearty support
from those who opposed him in his
former race is highly encouraging to
Mayor Hinton, who enters the contest
with bright prospects for one of the
largest maiorities ever accorded a city

Des Moines. June 1s.-Revision OF

.rection of the state highway commits
sion Is an accomplished fact now a
corps Of six engineers is right now out
in the state. visiting counties, chiefly
concerned in fixing up the bridge con-
tracts. and Incidentally going over the
highway protiles. The bridge bust
ness is the big thing before the COM
mission at this time. 1t will be an all
summers task to get this organized
right but when 1t Is done it will not
have to be done over again.
The old system of haphazard bridge
building is at an end forever. For
instance. experts for the highway COM
mission went into a southern Iowa
county and inquired about bridges.
Two members of the board said they
hadn't bought any bridges. so far as
they knew. this year. The third one
said they had and proved it by turn
ing up contracts for several costly
Judges. In q central Iowa county
members of the board said. they had
bought material for three or four
bridges and that was all. The ex-
perts for the commission have now
found the iron on hand for twenty
eight bridges all delivered in that
county and no money to put them up.
That sort of thing will not happen any
more.
Blanket Contracts No More.
The old method of blanket con-
tracts" by the foot is also thing oe
the past. The bridge companies buy
their material Of the rolling mills By
the ton and have been selling 1t by the
foot. All the new price agreements
must be by the ton or pound: and then
for each and every bridge there must
be separate contract. The state high
way commission will not permit OF any
more bridges built without special
contract with every bridge.
1t is declared that as matter OF
fact the bridge builders Of the state
have joined in the effort to make the
law effective and are working in per-
feet harmony With the commission to
get all contracts on legal basis. Hun
dreds Of old contracts have been re-
vised and changed SO as to comply
with the law. The highway commits

contracts but change and where the
