Although all of the leaders did re-
markably well toward the end of last
week, they are not sitting back rest
ing upon their laurels now, for the
end of the contest is only five weeks
distant and all realize that the time
of the candidate who is to win the
Oldsmobile is now worth nearly $500
each week. 1t takes a very successful
business man to earn $500 week.
Three Prizes Worth $500.
Three candidates will receive prizes
worth $500 or more, so the time of
three candidates is worth more than
500 a week. To let single day
pass without securing a subscription
or two may prove disastrous on April
3. for there are candidates in the list
who are not content if single day
passes without their turning in at
least two subscriptions. They NAV
not all be for year, but the most
promising candidates are making de
termined efforts to secure as many
ANNALS as possible, realizing that an
annual counts seventy-flve times as
MANY votes as a month subscription
and three times as many as one for
half year.
1t may not be easy to secure two
subscriptions each day, but then it Is
not generally easy to secure a Sl,40O
automobile by few weeks effort.
Then there is the $3.50 Kimball play
er-piano, and the $3.50 Seeley lot, be
sides the two diamond rings and the
handsome watch with its $40 braided
gold chain, and the $50 watch.
Few Men Earn $500 Week.
Few business men earn $500 a
week. Even well-to-do business
man has to work long hours and save
for long time before he can afford
to buv an automobile of even the
cheapest kind To save enough to
purchase 81, 400 Oldsmobile requires
considerable time and self-denial, OF
else a successful business built ur
! by years of skill, ability and study.
Few Ever Save 81, 400.
/ In fact, only a comparatively few
men manage to save 81 400 during
their entire lives. In this contest
someone will be rewarded to that eX-
tent for only little work during
spare time during the next five weeks
Two more will receive prizes exceed
ing $3.50 in value and two more vii
be awarded diamond rings worth Sl0(
and $85, respectively.

More Senate Fighting.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The Repub-
lican senators, when Informed that an
agreement had been reached on the
ship purchase bill by the conferees,
today served notice that they would
renew the filibuster. Senator Weeks
said hee measure would not be per-
mitted to come to a vote at this ses-
sion.
The conference was ready to pre-
sent the report to the House when it
met TODAY and planned to rush the
measure through that body and have
there.
Imperial Valley press., 1915-02-27

The conference was in session from
G:30 until 10:30 and was marked by
earnest and frank discussion, but
with splendid spirit throughout, and
the only point of contention was over
the Mammoth Wash appropriation Of
$4,000.
The Riverside delegation favored
that, as a means for reaching the Pa
10 Verde country, but it was strenu-
ously resisted by the Imperial Valley
delegates, as committing the state to
the construction of highway east of
the sandhills to Yuma.
The Brawley delegation, which did
not cooperate with other towns in
the valley, but which agreed to the
decision finally reached, included NJ.

tan yard. have not been able to
find the date of its establishment, but
I think It was about 1895. I know 1t
was In operation In 1928 and for some
years sitter. This tar yard comes
within my memory. It had . eurryins
shop and sales room, . large lime
vat and bark shed. besides the vats
for holding the hides.
But what most interested me was
the corner Of the yard where the
bark mill was situated. This was
presided over by two half-srown boys.
The mill was like an old fashioned
boz coffee mill. but much larger Of
course. Instead OF the handle for
turning the mill there was . long
beam. to the end of which was har-
messed Z steady old horse. He went
round and round In q circle all day
long, grinding the fragrant oak bark
that was used for tanning.
One Of the boys fed the mill by

Of the hopper, breaking them small
enough for the. nall to crush them.
The other boy shoveled the ground
bark, to one side as fast as it fell from
the hopper and he kept the old horse
moving. 49,.
The bark she'd was filled with
strips Of dry oak bark about . foot
wide and six feet long. This bark
WAS stripped from the trees when
full Of sap and stacked up like cord
wood until it was ready for use. OF
course the trees were killed. but oak
trees were so abundant that the sup
ply seemed unexhaustible.
At one time the bark shed took
fire. probably the work OF an incen.
diary. The bark was dry as finder
and the heat was SO intense that there
was no chance Of throwing water on it.
There were no fire engines at that
time.
l think Daniel P. Virgins bought
this tan yard about 1884 and be and
his sons enlarged it from time to time
until they had the largest tannery in
Eastern Indiana.

EARLY CITY
HISTORY

days Of Richmond win APP
pear in this column daily.
TANNING.

TANNING.
In early times tanning was one OF
the important industries. Before tan.
yards were established the pioneer
made his own leather by q very simple
process. He would cut down q large
tree and then chop Of log eight or
ten feet ia length. This he split. and
a. he had few tools to work with, he
burned out the center Of the log,
scraping Oft the charcoal with . sharp
stone or shell, and burning It again
and again until he had . deep trough.
He placed layer OF wood ashes IN
the bottom Of this trough and on this
he laid the skin to be tanned. Then
h filled the trough with ashes and
poured on water to extract the lye.
This. loosened the hair. but sometimes
the process had to be repeated several
times. In the meantime the pioneer
had planted q strong slab In the
ground. the upper end Of which was
shaved to 4 sharp edge. Over this
the hide was thrown and drawn back
and forth until the hair was scraped
oil. also the flesh on the underside OF
the skin was removed in the same
way.
Then q layer of pounded oak bark
was placed in the trough. the skin
was laid upon it and the trough filled
with the bark and moistened with
water to extract the tannin. The hide
was oiled and rubbed frequently as 1t
dried. This was not good leather. 1t
was too porous and stretched badly
Boots and shoes made Of it could not
resist the water, especially the snow
water.
In Young's History of Wayne Coun.
ty he mentions several Of the early
tanneries in Richmond. The first was
established by John Smith, the second
BY Robert Morrison. These were the
principal tanyards 1T that time. He
