said that the only improvement he had
ever seen made in Pensacola without
cost to the taxpayers had been under
the commission form. He referred to
the building of the truck house and

which the people are now suffering
had been thrust upon them by the for

0. j. Semmes, Jr., who drafted the
charter under which the city is now
operating, was called upon and deliv-

lauded the commission form of gov

declared himself as in the fight to a
finish, he was frequently interrupt

Mr.. Semmes said that he believed

talked with members of the charter
board while they were working on the
proposed charter and that he had
pleaded with them not to do away
with the commission form of govern

with the voters not to do so.
He told how under the old form it
had taken ninety days to get a fran

concentration of power, such matters
were disposed of by the commissioners
in short order. He said the ne wtur-

BRIDGE To SPAN
THE SHOAL RIVER

Crestview, Sept. 18.-Through the
ceaseless and never firing efforts OF
the citizens of the Bay country and
Crestview, there is to be a bridge
erected across Shoal river at the
crossing known as the Millage Cox
place, five miles south of Crestview,
which is estimated to cost about five
thousand dollars.
The bridge will be something like
half mile long, reaching from hill
side to hillside, and is to average six
feet in height, thus making the
bridge passable at all times of the
year, regardless of high water.
The United States Government has
on account Of the national forest re-
serve, agreed to pay $2,700 of the
cost and furnish the construction of
the bridge.
We also want to mention the fact
that it was through the interest and
personal influence of T. F. Eldridge,
supervisor of the national forest serv-
ice, that the government was induced
to put up such a liberal snare IN the
construction of this most needed
bridge.
When completed, this bridge will
furnish a year round passage from
the Gulf of Mexico to all the inn
portant cities of the north, via
Crestview, Laurel Hill, Florala, An
dalusia, Montgomery and Birming-
ham.-Crestview News.

Quaint Ralncoat.

When rain falls in tropical countries
there is no mistake about it. The rain
comes as if it meant to sweep away
all such trifies as trees and bushes.
A man who goes out in this deluge
must protect himself, but he finds that
a macintosh of the highest kind has
its disadvantages, for if it keeps the
rain out, it also keeps the heat in.
The raincoat devised by the Mexi-
cans is called s'chino," and is so por-
Gus that the heat of the body readily
escapes, while owing to its construc-
ton it keeps the wearer dry. The
chino is made of numberless long, mar
row strips of dried palm-leaf, one end
of each strip being woven into light
fabric and the rest falling loose. The
wearer of this garment rustles as he
walks, and the rain pattering upon it
makes a pleasant sound. Arrived at
the house, he takes off his palm-leaf
hat, shakes it, and hangs it up to dry.
Then he slips off his chino, shakes
that also, and hangs it up. He him
self is untouched by the rain, but the
chino, as it hangs up. looks like a
huge, damp, brown cassock. Surely
this rainceat is the quaintest in the
world

Doc Is Truly Faithful.

That a dog is most faithful animal
was proved in Seaford recently, says
the Seaford Oel) correspondent of
the Philadelphia Record.
The late Wilson w. Donoho for
many years acted as yardmaster at the
cannery of Greenabaum brothers in the
pea-canning season, and every morn
ing his little dog Sport accompanied
him to his work when the whistle
sounded and stayed with him through
out the day, stationing himself beside
an electric light pole in the yard until
the cannery closed for the night. Sew
eral days when Donoho was sick or abb
sent Sport made the trip alone, but
always found friends to share their
dinners with him.
This year, when the whistle blew
for the first time, Sport left home and
went. direct TO the factory and con-
tinued to do SO from day to day, re-
fusing to leave his favorite resting
place beside the pole.

KEEP ROADS IN GOOD SHAPE
Split-Log Drag Is of Great Service in
Keeping Roadways in Econon1i-
cal Repair.

The use of the road drag is i'm
portant in putting the roads in good
shape for winter use. There are over
2 100000 miles of earth roads in the
country, and the split-log drag is of
great service in keeping them in eco
nomical repair. The drag is used in
many states and in foreign countries.
It is used with two, three, or four
horses, and is easily constructed.
Drags are often constructed OF
planks instead of logs. The plank
should be strengthened along the mid
die line by 2 by 6-inch strip. A tri-
angular strip may be used under the
lower edge of the blade to give the
proper cutting slope.
Usually two horses are enough to
pull drag over an ordinary earth
road. The team should be driven
with one horse on either side of the
right-hand wheel track the full length
of the portion to be dragged and the
return made over the other half OF

Is UTAH DEMOCRATIC?
1T APPEARS THE REPUBLICANS
MAY LOSE THIS YEAR.
Former Committeeman Declares That
Working Men and Employers Are
More Than Satisfied With
Present Conditions.

Notwithstanding Utah was one of
the only two states carried by the
regular Republicans in 1912, and there
fore is held up as shining light of the
loyalty of the Republican organization
In the state. William r. Wallace, who
until recently was the Democratic ma
tional committeeman for Utah, refuses
to concede the state to the Republic
ans in the coming election. He con-
tends that the president ought to have
carried Utah in the last national cleo
ton and that he has first class
chance to get the electoral vote this
time.
Senator Smoot, one of the big Re-
publican leaders of Utah and of the
Nation, and his cohorts control so per
cent of the voting strength of Utah,
but, nevertheless, the Utah senator
was lying awake for several nights
after the election In 1912, fearing that
the state had gone Democratic. The
Republicans won by only 1900 in a to-
tai vote OF more than 100000. This
time, / firmly believe, we will put up
even better fight. Senator Suther-
land is going to have some determined
opposition, and he may be beaten.
How are you going to convince
workingmen that they ought to change
administrations when they are getting
better wages than they ever received
and are working overtime? How are
you going to convince employers that
they ought to change when they are
getting more for their products than
ever in their history? Copper Is
bringing higher price than at any
time since we started to mine-and
we have the largest copper mine in the
world in Utah-lead is higher in price
and sugar commanding a top figure"

(By E. B. HOUSE. Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins. Colo.)
Having just returned from trip
into the mountains over the worst of
roads, a comment or two should not
be out of place at this time.
First. The road builder has followed
the lines of ''least resistance" and has
given grades as steep as 20 per cent.
Second. He has made no provision
for taking care of the rainwater fall
ing upon or coming to these steep
grades.
