A clean town attracts attention

When The streets and alleys and
yards and vacant lots in a town are
clean and sanitary II bespeaks a like
condition on the part OF the residents
with regard to their personal habits,
The Lord. loves clean man or
woman. and the devil worships a
dirty one. Which do you prefer?
II each person in this town would
use just little more energy and
thoughtfulness we could make this
one OF the cleanest spots in the county
and our reputation would grow apace
Not only would we benefit thusly.
but the health OF the community would
be vastly improved and the physical
capacity OF the people would be great
ly increased.
A clean man works with pleasure

UPkEEP OF COUNTY ROADS

County roads should be kept In such
conditions that they will shed every bit
OF water that falls upon them, says
Prof. Kelly of the University OF Mis-
souri, College OF Agriculture. Be es-
pecially careful not to let anyone use
pillow, Trader or scraper in such a
way as TO loosen the roadbed so that
II will hold water instead OF sending
It on into the bitches and streams. ff
is a good thing to open up bitches,
but aside from that and dragging,
no use of any implements should be
permitted so late in the season. The
men and teams should be Ia the corpt
field at work anyhow. and should&. e
be time for road work II would be
much better TO haul gravel TO do more
grading. Some work will be necessary
at various times during the winter to
keep the bitches open and the surface
as smooth az possible. so that the
snow will blow OF, or II II does stay
long enough 10 melt, will run of read
Ily II every man will drag the road
adjoining his land the roads will be
better this winter than ever before
at the same time OF the year. The man
with good team and drag can keep
a mile OF road in good shape with
surprisingly little effort.

WILL FLOOD DOBER


The Iron Riyer-Stambaugh Re-
porter says that the Dober mine will
be flooded In an effort to drown out
the fire that has been burning in the
mine for nearly five years. A large
fiume is being constructed from the
mine 10 the river, and as soon as the
pumps and underground machinery
are withdrawn, the river will be
turned into the mine. The volume OF
water necessary 10 completely food
the mine Is 1000 100000 gallons The
flooding will be accomplished in a
bout three days. The river will likely
be turned into the mine the first of
next week.
Capt. James Wall. superintendent
OF the Oliver mining properties in
this district. announces that the mine
will not be permanently closed. The
fire is supposed TO be somewhere be-
tween the fourth and sixth levels,
probably on the NTH. AS soon as II
is drowned out the mine will be un-
watered and an attempt will be made
to prevent the, recurrence OF the fire
The mine Is already flooded to the
eighth level.
No Men Out OF Employment
No men will be out OF employment
by the closing OF the mine. as work
will commence al once on the new
shaft on Section ?. directly west OF
the old shaft. The new shaft will be
concrete and one OF the best on the
range. Only very few miners have
been employed at the Dober since 1t
filled with gas several months ago.
only trammers remaining al work get
ting the ore that was broken down TO
the surface
The new shaft will be pushed to
completion at the earliest possible
date. IL viii be big four compart-
ment shaft and when finished will

Free Mine Frdm Gas
Soon after the Dober filled with
gas experts were employed to yenti-
late the mine A huge blower was
installed and the gas was driven out
at the open pit. Since that time an
immense volume OF sulphur fumes
has been pouring out OF the open pit
TO the discomforture of residents OF
the windward side OF the pit and the
destruction OF gardens. trees, lawns
and vegetation. IL was TO abate this
nuisance that the management OF the
oliver company decided to food the
mine and drown out the fire, as well
as make underground workings once
more habitable for mines.
II is thought that after the flooding
the mine will be freed from gas so
that no trouble OF this character in
the future will be encountered.

wherein, speaking of the close of the
Napoleonic wars, he says: Peace
changed the faA of trade. English
merchants poured their goods once
again into the American ports, so long
shut against them by embargoes and
war. 1t was manifestly injurious to
every young industry that flood of
English imports should continue to
pour into the country at the open
ports. The remedy was a protective
tariff such as Hamilton had wished
to see at first and the young repub-
llcan leaders of congress did not hest
tate to advocate and establish it,
Absolutely the only difference be-
tween that situation and the one we
Will have at the close of the present
European war is that the democratic
tariff then was p per cent, while the
present Underwood tariff, with agri-
cultural products free, is running at
this time at less than per cent, the
lowest in our history. In other words,
the lson-Underwood tariff bill is
tWoiold worse than the democratic
act at the time OF the Napoleonic
wars, and. therefore. if Mr.. Wilson's
history is accurate the evil results at
the close OF this war will be twice as
bad as they were at the close of the
Napoleonic wars.

Manager of Western Repub-

Statement.
OVER 800 ELECTORAL VOTES

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Western repub
lican and democratic national head
quarters today closed the presidential
campaign in the territory between
Ohio and the Pacific coast and nearly
all the department heads left for their
homes to vote next Tuesday.
Alvin T. Hert, manager of the west
ern republican headquarters, issued
the following statement:
ut is my belief, and that OF all the
other members of the western repub.
lican campaign committee, that
Hughes and Fairbanks will have
many more than 800 votes in the cleo
toral college.
ut is with the utmost confidence
that the result on Tuesday, Novem-
Der 7, is awaited at the national head
quarters in Chicago"
Harold L. Ickes, who has been i'll
charge of work among the progress
sives at western republican national
headquarters, made this statement:
How Vote Divides
"Such part of the progressive vote
of 1912 as will go to 1Mr. Wilson
will be largely the vote of men who
were democrats before they became
progressives. Reports that come to
me from all through the west show
that from IS to 95 per cent of the
progressive vote of 1912 will be cast
THIS year for republican candidates.
This means success for Hughes and
Fairbanks"
Senator Thomas ]. Walsh, manager
of western democratic headquarters,
issued the following statement:
Wilson will be reelected by a
greater popular vote than has ever
heretofore been given a presidential
candidate.
1.-TWO conditions impress them
selves upon the mind of every one
who has followed the campaign.
namely, that an enormous number of
republicans will vote for Wilson and
only a negligible number of demo-
Gratis will vote for Hughes.
Independent Vote.
"As to the independent vote, so far
as it has been vocal at all, it is for
Wilson. The labor vote is for Wilson.
Among voters of foreign birth a sur
prisingly large number are for Will
son, as high as 90 per cent in the case
Of Bohemians. Poles and other citizens
Of Slavic origin. The Scandinavians
are particularly friendly to the presi-

Russia BOrrows
Fifty Millions Of
New York Syndicate

New York, Nov. 4.-The COM
pletion OF negotiations with the Rus
sian government for $5O,0OO,OOO
fifty-year 81 per cent loan by a
banking syndicate, headed by the
National City company, which is con-
trolled, by the National City bank,
brings the total borrowings here OF
foreign countries, with the exception
of South America, to more than
$2000,000,000. l.
Negotiations for the present Rus
sian loan covered a period OF more
than three months and at one time, it
is said, loan of as high as $780,
100000 was considered by American
bankers, The former Russian loan
established a credit in this country
for $50,000,0O0, which was to run
for three years. Simultaneously the
Russian government established in
Petrograd a credit of $l50,00O,000
in favor of the banking group, at a
fixed ratio of rubles to 81.
Part of the present loan, it is un-
derstood, will be used in paying for
a portion of $50,000,000 railroad equip
ment order placed with American
manufacturers about two months
ago.
Associated with the National City
company in the negotiations are ].
P, Morgan, the Guarantee Trust com
pany, Kidder, Peabody & Co., and
Lee Higginson & Co. The loan will
be direct obligation of the imperial
Russian government. Among the de-
tails yet to be completed is the price
at which the loan will be offered to
the public. The yield on the last loan
was little more than GA per cent

ton, mot at all wasted by war, but
disciplined, organized as they never
have been before" The Underwood
tariff Mr.. Hughes said, would not
meet the situation as measure Of
protection to American industry.
"Our opponents told us four years
ago." Mr.. Hughes said at Kingston,
"of the wonderful opportunities they
were going to give American business
We know what actually followed. | do
not mean that they were insincere.
simply mean that what they think
fitted American life does not work
with it."
Tariff Body Not Legislative.
Mr.. Hughes said he asked his OPP
ponents what they were going to do
about safeguarding American industry
and they replied that they had tariff
commission. A tariff commission he
continued did not pass laws.
II do not blame Them" he said,
for their continued adherence to the
old policy which through the gen.
erations they have maintained and the
doctrine which in platform after plat
form they have asserted. really in a
sense admire their tenacity and the
way in which they ignore the facts Of
life in their constancy of spirit"
1t was no time Mr.. Hughes declared
for his political opponents to be sensi-
tive about criticism.
1--WE are taking account of stock"
he said in his Newburgh speech. Our
opponents seem to be little sensi-
tive about the stock taking. They
seem to have the idea that there ought
not to be any criticism of the admin
stration. Well, we would not do very
well in American life under our insti-
tutions il we went ahead in that way.
We want fair criticism. We want
candid criticism, but we must conserve
the honor of the American name"
Not Policy Of Braggarts.
The policy which would conserve
the honor OF the American name and
result in unfolding Americans rights
was net the policy of braggarts, he
said. n Y Hi' vs.
"We have not the slightest desire to
go through the world braggarts,
boosters" he said. "We have not any
desire to stimulate i'll feeling by a
truculent attitude. What we want to
show is this: That in a world of keen
rivalry and excellent understand
ings, we constantly stand erect as
nation having courage and the in
domnitable spirit which our ancestors
showed when they established their
our later fathers showed
when they preserved the integrity of
the nation; that we are land devoted
to justice, that we are intent in a
courteous way upon maintaining our

be maintained"
