MR.. o. 3. WILSON.

One of the most progressive bust
ness men of Kiowa is Mr. o. B. Will
son, the well known and popular
proprietor of the drug store bearing
his name. We have always found Mr.
Wilson a great booster for his town
and country and a great believer in
this country's future.
He carries a most complete line of
everything usually found in any well
stocked drug store and his prices are
such as to suit the most exacting
Although in an inland town he is
aburdantly able to meet all legitimate
competition. He is also the sole
agent for his district for the famous
Columbia Photographs.

kIoWA STATE BANK.

The Kiowa State Bank was organ
lied in 1908 by C. L. Dickerson anu
others who carried on the business
of the bank until July 1909, at which
time it was sold to Gordon Jones ano
associates under which management,
It is now operating. The officers
elected in 1909, Gordon Jones, presi
dent; w. d. Reilly, vice president
and A. NJ. Rex. cashier, are still the
Officers of the bank Under this man
agement the bank has grown beyond
all expectations. At the present tim,
has more than 100000 resources
which speaks well not only for the
management but also for the commu
nifty in which it is located. We
gladly accord this progressive firm
mention in this edition.

VIM. D. Reilly was born on a farm
near Overlook, Usage County. Kan

eeNscH & eLAKELY.

We are served here in Ebert by but
one garage, but it is one that can will
take care of the business.
Messrs Gensch & Blakely are the
owners and managers of this concern,
and although new here, are daily max
ing new friends and customers and
are patronized by all.
They are both very able mechanics
and have in their employ only the
most experienced help. No Job is too
iarse, too small or too complicateu
not to receive their very personal at
tention or to be turned out In goo0
workmanhke order.
While these gentlemen are new H.
IN this particular business, they art
oy no means strangers here, as the.
nave been residents of our country
for long time. We have Away
found them very progressive ant
boosters for the town. They are alsc
the sole agents for the famous Max
well cars-a car that enjoys large
sale in our country. If you are con
templating the purchase of an auto
mobile we advise you to let these
gentlemen show you what the MaA
well will stand and do and what prices
and terms you can get. By doing thii
you VIII be serving at least two gooo
purposes, namely, patronizing homt
industry and saving your own money
A most complete line OF auto sup
plies is also handled here, and If yot
are in need of any part, give them a
call. Do so also when in need of gas
or oil. We are pleased to accord this
very progressive concern mention in
this issue and heartily wish them con
tinued success.

of farming and stock raising in Ell

Mr.. Clark is native of this section
of the country. His ranch is located
about five miles west of Elbert and
comprises about 346 acres. The rails
ing of the regular short horn cattle
and general farming are his main oc
equations. Mr.. Clark thinks there is
no better place than Elbert and 4
you should ask him if he had lived
here all his life he would probably
answer: Not yet.

A more public spirited citizen we

INDEPENDENT COPPER
SINKING ON THE VEIN
COPPER AND LEAD FOR WIDTH
OF OVER 5 FEET-EMPLOY
II DURING WINTER.

The Independent Copper Mining Il
/ Milling company is now sinking a
shaft or winze from the main tunnel
level and the results are being watch
ed with more than usual interest. 1t
will be recalled that several months
ago the east drift encountered con-
siderable lead silver ore in a vein
cutting diagonally from the north
across the copper vein that was being
followed The two veins seem to
merge into one at that point, and the
continuation of the drift has showed
both lead and copper ore. The man

AS election day approaches and the
work of the campaign day by day be-
comes more strenuous, it is indeed a
relief and relaxation to oVerWorked
nerves to find a candidate who takes
himself so seriously that he becomes
a constant source of amusement to all
who are blessed with the saving sense
of humor. The gentleman who is
responsible for this welcome break in
the monotony of the campaign is the
democratic candidate for senator from
this county, editor of the Day daily
and a resident of Shoshone county for
possibly a year and half. Although
for thirty years the mining industry
in Shoshone county has prospered,
with the exception of few lean years
under democratic administration, and
has managed to defend itself success
fully against the attacks of those who
would hamper the industry by impos-
ing upon it a system of unjust taxa
tion. it appears now that a crisis is
approaching, which has happily been
warded off temporarily through the
timely arrival of this editor from
south Idaho, but from which there is
no permanent escape save by electing
him senator from this county But
let the editor and democratic candl-
date for senator tell in his own modest
and unassuming way what he has al
ready accomplished for the mining in
dustry during his brief residence here
and what he proposes to do If the
voters fall" for his candidacy He
selects the Mullan Progress as the
medium for reaching the people ana
then reproduces the effusion from that
publication as the leading editorial IN
his own paper in the issue or last
Friday. Putting up bogy man in the
form of a. proposal from the people OF
south Idaho to pass a law making the
market value of the stock of mining
comnanies the basis for taxation, this
fearless champion of the mining in
dustry is described in this heroic
style:
"R. II. Stevenson, editor Of the Wal
lace Press Times, has led in the oppo-
sition to the movement and 1t was his
interest in this matter coupled with
his desire to secure the enactment OF
n workable and fair workman's com
pensation law which led him to be-
come a candidate for state senator
Those who know Mr. Stevenson have
no doubt of his ability to success
fully combat the threatened change in
our taxation law, He has stated fire.

ALREADY A LANDSLIDE.

Under the heading Already a

published the following prediction
forecast after a painstaking gathering
of figures from all parts of the eoun-
try:
New York for Hughes by nearly
200 1000; New Jersey for Hughes by
more than $4,000; Illinois for Hughes
by 10000: Indiana for Hughes by
$4,000; Ohio for Hughes by $4,000.

for State Senator Stands Between Min

iquently that he realizes someone must
make the fight for the protection of
the undeveloped mineral resources of
the state; hence, his candidacy"
Unselfish martyr to the cause of the
people! How grossly have you been
misiudged! But such is always the
fate of brave and generous souls who
make the fight for right, free from
the sordid thought of personal ad-
vantage.
But this is not all. The editor of
the Day daily is not going to limit his
efforts to a fight for the mining COM
panies; the workingman is also to
have relief at his hands. His ability
to accomplish these commendable pur-
poses is here modestly referred to:
aside from all questions of party
interest, it behooves the citizens of
Shoshone county to send to the senate
a man of intellect and courage, of re-
sourcefulness and acquaintance such
as Mr.. Stevenson has proved himself
to be. His election would indeed be
a safeguard and an insurance against
such measures as that proposed and
would go a long way toward giving
to labor a workman's compensation
law that would meet the needs Of the
state"
1t will not be denied that Mr.. Steven
sons close association with the Days
as editor of their paper has probably
given him very definite ideas on a
workmens compensation law, but 1t
does not necessarily follow that a law
such as he would support would meet
the needs of the state and more par
ticularly the needs of the working
man.

the two forks and adjoins the success
A tunnel is now being driven at a
point a short distance above the
wagon road and for the last Is feet ii
is reported in ore. This is evidently
the top of the shoot which was cut in

several years ago and which showed
about two feet of good ore. The
lower tunnel is now caved, but it is
