SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
ton of the Most Substantial Roofing Material.

If you were without preparation or plan, rudely placed in wilderness, your first thought would be of food supply and your next of shelter, for these are the two most vital necessi- ties of mankind. It is therefore natural that the best thought, and study are put upon these two essen- tials.
 More forward steps have been taken in the building industry in the past fifteen years, as regards comfort, service and architectural beauty than in the fifty years previous.
 Only in recent years has the hand ling of cement in building work been understood properly, and progress is still constantly being made with it. Modern hotels and office buildings are being equipped with sheet metal mouldings and steel veenered doors. Nearly every important change in building construction is away from the fire hazard of wood.
 One of the most significant develop ments of recent years Is the crushed slate surfaced asphalt shingle which Is, on new construction and old, rapid ly supplanting the wooden article There are many reasons for this. The slate surfaced shingles add beauty tc any building-in fact, there is really no comparison from an architecture standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing tints of red or green, is employed as a surfacing. The shingles are uniform ly eight inches wide and are exposed four inches to the weather. No paint ing is necessary as the red or green crushed slate is natural and therefore cannot fade.
 The purchaser, however, should guard himself against buying slate surfaced shingle that is not guaran- teed by reliable and responsible manufacturer There are so many kinds of roofing and shingles on the market today each claiming to be the best that it becomes necessary for the buyer to get some satisfactory assur- ance that the roofing or shingles are represented honestly.

PRISON RULING CHANGED.
Criticism Brings Warden Minto to
Time.

|
State Treasurer Kay last week an
nounced that criticisms Of rules regu-
lating chaplains at the state peniten-
tiary were unjust. Rules adopted by
Superintendent Mimic several weeks
ago were considered somewhat strin-
gent by the board of control. and they
were Immediately changed to elimi-
nate all Objectionable features.
Under the modified rules chaplains
may talk to convicts on all subjects
excepting those relating to paroles
and pardons. They may not visit the
prisoners in their cells, but may send
for convicts at any time during the
day and one night each week. Mr..
Kay said the attention of the board
was called to the rules soon after they
were made by Mr.. Minto and a pro-
vision forbidding chaplains to con-
verse with convicts on any subjects
but religion was Immediately stricken
out.
"The present rules are satisfactory
to the board" continued Mr.. Kay,
and there can be no cause for crit
icism. A change in rules was made
necessary because one or two liberal
provisions were abused. I have heard
no complaint by chaplains of the rules
now in force The criticisms evident
ly were based on the first draft made
by Mr.. Mimic, which was Immediately
changed by the board. -

170 Steamers Sunk in War.

The sinking of the Arabic by the
German submarine makes the 170th
steamship of more than 500 tons dis
placement to be destroyed by German
submarines, according to a Chicago
dispatch.
The new method of warfare
brought by the Germans has caused
the death of nearly 5000 non-combat-
ants. the largest single disaster be-
ing the sinking of the Lusitania, May
z. with 1850 men, women and chill
dren, many of them Americans.
The German method Of warfare on
enemy merchantmen has not only
caused the loss of many innocent
lives, but came near to plunging this
country and Germany into war over
the Lusitania sinking.
The diplomatic controversy that
arose has not yet been definitely set
tied and the right of American citi-
zens to sail the seas on the ships. of
belligerent nations has not yet been
admitted by Germany.

TRAVEL is NOW HEAVY.
Thousands of Fasteners Are Visit
ors to Pacific Coast.

VAo w 4 1SAAAS VV6Oss
1t is estimated that fully 100000
fasteners are now on the Pacific
coast, the greater number Of whom
came to view the two expositions
which are now in progress at San
Francisco and San Diego. There are
approximately 5000 persons passing
through Portland and the Willamette
valley daily, many Of these by auto
mobile. During the past ten days
travel through Dallas by this means
of transportation has been unusually
heavy, and the hotels and business
generally has profited to some extent.
The end of the invasion Of this vast
army of tourists and exposition visit
ors is not yet in sight. Late August
and early September will bring addi-
tional thousands and next month is
expected to see new high mark es-
tablished.
The total attendance of the Pana-
exposition to date is 10,-
722,116. Of this number the South
ern Pacific officials estimate that be-
tween 33 and 40 per cent are stran-
gers who have come here from outside
the state. Taking their minimum of
33 per cent, this would mean that g.
574,038 strangers have passed
through the exposition gates.

AS Others See the Recall.

Up in Polk county they have start
ed recall petitions against the coun-
ty judge and the two county commits
sioners, giving as reasons violations
of the law and irregularities of ad-
ministration growing out of the ex-
penditure of highway funds. 1t pains
us to see OUT neighbor resort to this
extremity, and we have a suspicion
that the spirit of revenge may be the
real motive. The judgment of the
voters should be good enough at an
election to choose capable and honest
officials, and if it proves otherwise
they ought to have pride enough to
"grin and bear" the term out rather
than confess their poor judgment. In
the case of gross culpability in Office
there are other legal means of GUST
ing an officer, with less disturbance of
the affairs of the office.-Telephone-
Register.
Instead of recalling the county
court of Polk county. we believe it is
entitled to a vote of thanks for the
excellent roads built in that county.
But there are sore heads in every
county. and it seems to us this is
another case of rule or ruin which the
voters of Polk county should turn out
in large numbers and squosh. The
recall law is greatly abused, and al
ways will be so, for it places a weap-
on in the hands of knockers and who

Thirty-two years ago in June thu
first fire-fghting company was organ
lied in Dallas with more than fifty
of the little city's young men enroll
ed as members. According to thu
records of this early-day organiza
tion, which have been preserved, q
Z call meeting was held at the hall Of
the Second Brigade band, for the pur.
pose of organizing a fire company, on
June IS, 1883. Of most Importance
after selecting set of officers, was
the adoption Of name for the new
company. Its designation, and one it
bore with distinction until its absorb
tion by the Dallas Fire department
years later, was "Terror Fire Com
pany No. / of Dallas" The officers
elected to direct the energies of the
crew were John J. DAILY, president; ;
j. W. Crider, secretary; H. B. Cos
per, treasurer; R. d. Wilson, fore
man; T. B. Rowell, first assistant
foreman, and F. J. Coad, second as
sistant foreman. A constitution and
bylaws committee was at once ap-
pointed and comprised HI. B. Cosper,
R. D. Wilson, T. B. Rowell, Frank J.
Coad and Frank FL. Brown. A Sec
ond call meeting was featured by the
adoption of the constitution and by
laws and at the following meeting,
about the end Of June, 1883, the con-
stitution was signed and accepted by
all present. At the last meeting in
the month Of organization, and pre-
vious to the first regular meeting of
the organization, R. D. Wilson, F. J.
Coad, Fl. B. Cosper, U. S. Grant and
j. W. Crider were appointed a COM
mittee to secure fire bell and make
ready for its use. A committee con-
sisting of H. B. Cosper, John E.
Woods. Fl. L. Deacon, O.. D. Butler
and W. M. Ray, was appointed to ar
range for housing the engine, another
committee having disbanded after in
ner strife. The records show no or
der for an engine having been issued
and do not mention it's receipt. The
apparatus arrived, however, within a
short time after the organization of
the fighting force was perfected. The
third call meeting marked the COM
mencement of a round of social ac-
tivities for which the laddies were
popular in their time. A festival for
the benefit of the company was plan
ned at this meeting and a committee
of sixteen appointed to discuss de-
tails with a committee including H.
L. Deacon. U. M. Cosper, B. M. Smith
and Lee Fenton At the first regular

AMONG THE FARMERS


The former La Sal ranch of E. V.
D. Paul was registered last week as
the Oak Ridge Stock farm by Mrs.
H. J. Nickum. the recent purchaser.
This farm comprises 483 acres. The
hopyard will be plowed up and a
speciality made of raising Holstein
cows and Berkshire hogs. Construc-
ton work on a dairy and hog barn,
240x30. with two ellis. the main one
an S0-foot wing to be used as a feed
shed. The other will be a machine
shed and ice house. A gas engine of
II horsepower has been ordered to
run a dynamo to generate electricity
for lighting purposes. An ice plant
has also been ordered which will be
used for manufacturing ice for keep
ing the milk and cream sweet. The
inside Of the barn will be concrete
and the COW stalls will have metal
stanehions. A herd of so to 80 cows
will be kept. which will mean about
60 regular mixers. The estimated
cost of the building is s5000.-Sheri-
dan Sun.
