KendriCk Meeting

Hon. John B. Kendrick, COVER
nor of Wyoming and candidate
against the Constitution of the
state for Senator, U. s. District
Attorney Howell, and others, held
a political speaking here Satur-
day to a fair audience. The speak
ers were introduced by NJ. B. Nc
Killip. Gov. Kendrick spoke on
a number of subjects relative to
the campaigning and on his can
didacy for the U. S. Senate. Mr..
Kendrick is a good stockman, but
does not make anything extra of a
public speaker.
MI. Howell is a very fair speak
er and discussed the campaign
with vigor, claiming about every
thing in sight for the democrats.
Also one or two county candidates
addressed the meeting, probably
to the advantage of the republi-
can party.

years and where he was married.
He afterward moved west and
finally, a few years ago, located in
this valley, establishing a meat
market at this place and built the
Palace hotel. He was an expert
meat cutter, but gave his business
up to engage in coal mining, and
which he continued until his
death.
He leaves a wife and six living

Died From Heart Failure.

Charles Mitwalsky of this place
died Monday night in bed at his
coal mines down the river, from
heart failure, and it was not dis
covered until the next morning,
when his son Charlie attempted
to waken him. Coroner Bennett
of this county was sent for and
held an inquest arriving at the
conclusion that it must have been
heart failure from the evidence
obtainable. The coroner removed
the body to this place from the
mine Tuesday, and the funeral
will be held tomorrow from the
Palace Hotel.

Senator G.. D. Clark and A. D.. Kelly Speak to a
Crowded House Friday Night--Several Re-
publican County Candidates Here.

Friday, Senator @. ID. Clark, il
company with Hon A. d. Kelley
of Cheyenne, arrived here, OF
their trip over the state, and helc
a Republican speaking in the ev.
ening. W. E. Tilton presided
and called the meeting to order al
8:15 p. m. with about 800 or more
in the hall.
Mr.. Kelley, of the Kelley Mere
Co, of Cheyenne, an old timer in
the state as we'll as a prosperous
business man, was the first speak
er introduced. Mr.. Kelley is nei-
ther H politician o an Office
seeker, and his remarks we're pure

for the interests of Wyoming and
the nation. Mr.. Kelley is an in
teresting speaker, and what he
says comes from his heart and his
belief, He made a very impress

Senator Clark followed Mr..
Kelley, and it is needless to at
tempt to introduce Senator Clark
or his work to the people of Wy
omipg, who so we'll know his
work and it's result in good to all
Wyoming. Senator Clark was ex

speaker, who not only entertains
his hearers, but is very instruc-

doubt the result of the present

County Treasurer Tierney.

We challenge the county gov
srnments of the state to show up
their treasurer's Office to better
advantage or to be in better shape
than the treasury of Carbon coun-
ty. Some may have more money,
but none are run in a more per
feet business manner or ire in
ANY better condition for being up
to the minute. For this splendid
state of affairs we must give cred
pit where it is due, and that is to
both the present treasurer, b. M.
iTierney, and to former treasurer,
IS. Park, who il also at this time
deputy treasurer under Mr.. Tier
ney.
Mr.. Park made the Office fore
most in the county, and since 60
ing out of Office and after the
election of Mr. Tierney, they have
worked together and are still max
ing good, and the Office today is
the best administered in the state.
Mr.. Park was treasurer two
terms, Mr., Tierney having served
but one term and is the Republi-
ean nominee for reelection to
that Office and it is generally con-
eeded when a man makes good he
is most certainly entitled to the
office again, and should be elected,

from a financial standpoint but

Public Highways
(By Edna 1. Paulson.)

BusJeu DeIOreS ne &C IL n
Its a wonder to me that nine times
out of ten he doesn't turn back
simply on account of the gates.
The average public highway of
today requires about one-third of
your time opening and shutting
gates.
While in many places it is i'm
possible to have a road without
gates and surely where there are
gates they must be opened and
shut, it is not necessary to be
confined to the old pole and wire
gates of a half century back, for
today we e a ley gate-a pat
ent automatic gate of slight cost
but great value; a gate which op-
ems and shuts itself by the run
ming over of a lever on either side.
This gate is one that the ranch
men should and will in the near
future adopt and thus better our
public highways. Some of the
most picturesque ranches, fields
and meadows found in the state of
Wyoming are found in Carbon
county-Carbon county with it's
swiftly flowing streams, beautiful
mountains and hills and steep,
rugged cliffs is a most magnificent
section of country.
Every summer thousands of
tourists from every part of the
United States pass through our
county on their transcontinental
routes. Many of them stop over
to enjoy our hunting and fishing
and thus they ean not help but
marvel at and admire our beauti-
full scenery. But those who do
not care for such sports and have
no other interests here drive rap
idly through it and naturally the
impression left of it is the only
one that they gathered from the
road.
From personal experience 1 am
certain that the Lincoln Highway
and other public roads of the
county are unbelieving rough and
worn out"
Bridges are broken, grades are
too narrow and the roads are SO
extremely rough the occupants Of
an overland bound car receive a
most unworthy impression of this
county, and of its enterprise and
pride.
On the Lincoln Highway be-
tween two important little towns
of this county the road is layed
upon an old railroad grade. In
many places it is impossible to
pass a a and for a stretch of
about five miles it is very danger
GUS, especially in rainy weather
when it requires very slow and
careful driving to keep from slip
ping of the grade which in many
places is elevated to a height of
about seventy five or eighty feet.
The common ordinary wooden
culverts of the day are found three
out of five partly or completely
broken. These are very danger
GUS and in many places are i'm
passable. The reason for these
delapideted bridges is that they
are not sufficiently strong to up
hold the weight of the big cars
which are continually passing ov-
or them and in damp weather the
chains of the cars will very short.

wooden bridges.
