INVESTIGATION
 OF MARBLE DEPOSITS
Arkansas Marble Used in Number Buildings in Different Parts of United States-StOne of Ex-
 ceptional Quality.

John T. Fuller, State Mineralogist, has returned from an investigation of the Marble deposits of Independence county, and reports that extensive inn provements have been made in the Pfeiffer Stone Company. From thir- ty to forty men are constantly employ ed about the quarry and mill. The present quarry face is about three hundred feet long and forty feet wide, and five beds are being worked. The active quarrying lasts from April l to Oct. 1.
 Marble for the city hall at Houston, Tex, the new Federal Penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, and other large buildings is being supplied by these quarries. and the following build ings in Little Rock: State Capitol, City Hall, Carnegie Library, South ern Trust Building, Gazette Building, Iron Mountain Station, Pulaski county courthouse, St. Mary's convent, and St. Joseph's Orphanage.
 MT. Fuller says: "The chemical analysis shows this stone to be of ex- ceptional purity, and free from any elements which might impair it's dur ability or appearance. It is composed of 95.82 per cent carbonate of lime, the remaining 4.18 per cent beling sil- ica. It is elastic, will bend under pressure and return to the original position when the pressure is removed. This property of elasticity, so essen- tial in perfect building stone, enables the Batesville stone to be used in any climate, no matter how variable"

MEXICAN FACTIONS
 HEED NO WARNINGS
Presence of U. s. Troops at Naco Fails
 To Stop Firing Across Line

Naco, Ariz., Dec. 11.-Fighting be- tween Mexican factions around the border of Naco, Sonora. continued to- day unchecked by the arrival of three batteries of United States artillery from Fort Bliss. Bullets fell over the border while the troops were go- ing into camp. One United States eavalryman was wounded A bullet went through a stove pipe in an off, cer's tent and Mexican woman was shot in the head while in her home in the American town.
 The two wounded today brought the total casualties on the American side to 51 during the two months seige of Naco, Sonora, by Governor Maytorena.
 No order has been received from Provisional President Gutierrez of Mexico for Maytorena to cease firing in order to avoid clash with the American troops, according to C. Ra- mirez, agent for the convention party.
 Brigadier General Tasker Bliss, who came here yesterday to take command of the American forces, said today he hoped actual hostilities with the armed Mexican factions across the boundary would not be necessary, but that the Washington government is not bluff ing" General Bliss is awaiting or ders, which it is presumed, have been sent by mail.

INTERESTED IN CREATION
 PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION

Little Rock, Dec. 12.-Gov. Hays has advised the members of the Ark ansas Railroad Commission, who call ed upon him to lay the matter before him, that he is interested in the pro position for the creation of a Public Utilities Commission. There has been a great deal of discussion of the sub ject for some time, and there appears to be a growing demand for such a branch of the state government.
 It has been suggested that the Rail road Commission be converted into a Public Utilities Commission, or that it's powers be extended to embrace water-works, lighting plants, street railways, etc A conference is to be called by the Railroad Commission very soon, with the Attorney general, governor, and others interested, to de termine upon the course to be pur- sued. It is possible that the policy may be embodied in Gov. Hays mes sage to the Legislature.

DIFFERENT LINE OF TALK.

Judge G. c. Lee, of Ames, the lat
est warrior to grid his loins round
about and go out after the scalp of
Gov. Clarke, although he calls him
self republican and announces as a
candidate of that party, really .alks
like democrat At any rate his is
democratic doctrine as applied to at
fairs in this state. The average re-
publican, Clarke supporters tell you,
or at least intimate, that taxes are
no higher than they used to be-that
you only think they are. Judge Lee
says differently and takes to task the
commission form in this wise:
THE people are, and rightfully So,
jealous of their right to tax them
selves and will never consent to the
delegation of this, one of the highest
functions of government, to any
board or mission, and this power
should never be usurped. Under our
system the executive council of the
state has the power to equalize as
sessments by reducing those that are
comparatively too high, and raising
those that are comparatively too low.
Our people never intended to confer
upon it the power to raise valuations
so as to increase legislative apprOpri-
atoms, or the amount to be raised by
statutory levies in excess of the limit
fixed by law, and it has no right to do
SO. A reasonable limit should be fix
ed by the statute on levies that may
be made by local taxing bodies. The
legislature should never be urged to
adopt plan calling for an initial ex-
penditure reaching into the millions
except after the fullest publicity and
ample time for thorough discussion
has afforded opportunity for mature
judgment. The affairs of the state
should be conducted on business
like and economical basis. Its en-
ployes should render the same service
and be held to the same degree of ac-
countability as like employees in pri-
vate employment Useless boards
and commissions should be abolish
ed"

CONCERNING SALUTES.

: Boss Tweed never cared how much
he was lambasted in editorials, but
he made strenuous efforts to get the
cartoons of Thomas Mast suppressed
My people can't read he explained
but they can all see them I'D
pictures.
An allied fact-though not at all
an allied motive-prompts President
Wilson to insist on salute of TWEEN
ty-one guns, or some equally self
evident apology, for the insult offer
ed the American flag at Tampico.
Few Mexicans can read, and those
few get little chance to peruse any
thing save what the authorities Law
before them. But they can all see
hear and tell about the formal salute
to the stars and stripes.
Ia may be that Huerta, after re-
fusing the salute to save his face, will
grant it to save his skin. 1t may be
that some satisfactory substitute can
be found for this thunderous apology
though none can guess what such q
substitute would be. Whatever he
outcome, the honor and the interests
Of the United States are safe in the
hands of President Wilson.

OPPOSES GOV. CLARKE.

The Freeman Tribune has taken
some pains to ascertain public senti-
ment among republicans in this vicin-
ity and it is safe to say that fifty per
cent of them declare they will not
support Mr.. Clarke if he is renomin-
ated. Two of the reasons for this are
the unjustifiable increase in taxes
and the action of the governor in ac-
quiescing in the lease of Wall Lake to
a son-in-law Of member of the ex-
ecutive council, which today execut-
ed the lease. The people of this sec
ton of Iowa are aroused over these
matters and if conditions elsewhere
in the state are as they are here the
republican ticket with Gov. Clarke at
the head will stand no more chance
of winning than the national ticket
did in 1912. OF course, many repub-
licans who are now against Gov.
Clarke will be for him at the election
provided he is nominated, but suf-
ticient number of them will oppose
him to insure his defeat. Then why
not nominate man who can win?
Gov. Clarke is good man, a high
minded clean citizen, but he has been
very unfortunate in some Of his Offic-
ial actions and will prove a lament
ably weak candidate on the day of
election. The party can yet nominate
a winner and ordinary political sa-
gacity would suggest that it be done.

not the ones who are talking war
with Mexico. Yet they are the ones
who will have to furnish the soldiers.

NOTICE.
Resolution Ordering Connections to
be Made,

Whereas, the city council of the
city of Leon, Iowa, on the goth day
of March, 1914, adopted resolution
ordering the permanent improvement
of the following streets and parts of
streets, to-wit:
Section /. On Main street from
and connecting with pavement at
18th street south on Main street and
on the Leon and Davis City road, to
the north side of bridge on Postum
creek.
Section 2. On Idaho street from
and connecting with pavement at 9th
street south to and connecting with
pavement on Commercial street, all
in the City of Leon, Iowa, by grad
ing, curbing and paving the same.
Therefore,
Be it resolved by the city council
of the city of Leon, Iowa, that con-
nections from sewer and water pipes
to the curb line of the property ad-
jacent to the proposed street i'm
provement heretofore mentioned be
made within 10 days from the adop-
ton of this resolution, and accord
ing to the plans and specifications of
the city engineer on file in the office
of the city clerk; and in case such
connections are not made by the
property owners within said time,
then the city engineer shall cause
the same to be made, and the costs
and expenses thereof snail be assess
er against the property in front of
which the same is made; and the
city clerk is hereby directed to give
written notice thereof, as far as prac-
ticable to all property owners affect
ed thereby, and to publish such no.
tice in one issue of two newspapers
of general circulation published in
the city of Leon, Iowa.

After all is said and done, and
without considering that he might be
defeated this time, is not Henry Voll-
mer sensible in pulling out of the
congressional game? The life of the
average congressman is certainly not
bed of roses nor an inviting field
for men of ability. Suppose Henry
Vollmer should run this year and be
reelected; as soon as election is over
he would have to begin his campaign
for another election. Congressional
terms are hardly long enough for the
continuous campaign for reelection.
Senators have some breathing spell,
| but not the representatives. And fin
ally, two years, or ten years, or
twenty years hence, after man has
been a figure in Washington and
formed some political connections,
and got up in the game, and he is cut
by ambitious competitors in his dis
trict, what has he to show for the
continuous campaign which occupied
the best years of his life? No financial
aff1uence if he is an honest man, not
the rewards which would easily have
fallen in private life to man of suf-
ticient ability to gain and hold leader
ship in a district for term of years.
The longer man stays in the game
the more bitters the inevitable call
which brings him back to private life.
Henry Vollmer is wise Indian. He
is well-to-do financially, enjoys
good law practice, has fine family
and plenty of friends, is big figure
in his community and in the politics
of his district and state. and he has
declined to make another run for
congress. Again we pronounce Henry
a wise 1ndian.-Knoxville Express.

If the coming republican conven-

elected on the state ticket and the

against the Clarke issues and their
friends are not apt to let the COVER

a platform. The test for Gov. Clarke
should not be at the primaries, but
in the state convention. If the COVER

The way the Grundy Democrat ar
CUES it is: Under the new democrat
ic tariff that corn in Grundy Center
today is worth 60 cents a bushel A
year ago today under the republican
protective tariff corn was selling at

tariff has anything to do with the
price OF corn, which it very likely
hasn't, the new tariff is 10 cents a
bushel better than the old tariff"
