A Road for Stanton.

Citizens of Stanton and the oil
people from Furnace are build
ing new road from the county
seat TO the oil fields. A grade
not exceeding 8 per cent has been
gotten and the distance is said to
be less than eight miles. The
building Of this road will tend TO
make Stanton base for the ship
ment of supplies as Clay City
now is, and will be of great ben
eft TO the town. 1t is indeed
gratifying to see the spirit Of road
improvement grasplng hold of
our people.

Our Representative, + B. Nc
Clone, has introduced a bill in
The Legislature to place a State
license tax equal to one per cent
of the market value of all oil pro-
duced in this State for State pur-
poses, and gives the counties the
right to also collect a tax of one
half OF one per cent on all the oil
produced for county and school
purposes. II is reported that
this bill will easily pass the
House, but may. fail in the Sen
ate. This should not be the case,
for the easiest made of all mon
ey is oil money, and it is nothing
but right that the operators
should pay "A license tax. This
money could be put to use in i'm
proving our county roads with
out voting bonds.
Senator Evans from this dis
trict will undoubtedly vote for
this bill when it reaches the Sen
ate, as it will be direct benefit

Republican Candidate for Sheriff

That prince of good fellows,
James q. Rogers of this city, an
nounces his candidacy for Sheriff
in this issue of the Times. He
is Republican, but good man,
and Notwithstanding the odds
against a Republican nominee in
this county, he will be IA real
hard man for any Democrat to
beat. Mr.. Rogers will make a
clean tight IN his race, and, il a
Republican is perchance to get
the Office, we know of no one
then that would be more accept.
able to the people of Powell
county than Jim Rogers.

Pumping Station Destroyed

The railroad pumping station
in this city was burned Saturday
at twelve O'Clock. Arrangements
have been made with the Day
Lumb ber & Coal Company to fur.
nish water for trains until the
station can be rebuilt. The sta.
tion is very close on the east side
of the Day planning mill. The
wind blowing from the west pre-
vented it from catching fire,
while the same wind from the
opposite direction would have
most sure to set the sheds ablaze.

Fiscal Court Meeting.

The Powell Fiscal Court was in
regular session ~at Stanton Tues.
day and Wednesday Of this week
and went through the usual rou.
tine of work.
At the command of the County
Board of Education, the ad va.
loren tax for school purposes was
placed at 20 cents, and one dollar
poll tax. The Court made the
usual levy for general purposes
and a 20.cent levy to apply on
road bonds authorized to be sold.
Magistrates SeweIl and Welch re.
fused to vote for the road bond
tax, claiming that as the bonds
were not delivered, and the work
on the roads was not begun at the
appointed time which was April
1st, 1t was hardly fair TO collect
a tax to pay for something that
was not doing.
Their action in trying to pro-
tect the taxpayers is commenda.
Bile, and they will long be remem-
bered by the people, who are
willing TO pay tax where the
tax will get things, but when 1t
fails to move matters along, they
oppose. All honor to Squire
Seweli and Squire WEIGH, who
have proved themselves the peO-
pies friends.

Kincaid Quits Race

Mr.. Ben +. Kincaid quit for
Democratic nomination for Sher-

where he will engage IN general
and dairy farming. Mr.. Kincaid
had flattering prospects TO win
the race, but when he saw an op-
portunity to nail down a position
that is sure pay and will, from
the start, yield u larger income
than the Powell comfy Sheriff's
Office does under the most favor.
able circumstances, he could not
resist the temptation, he broke
loose and went to it. He will
farm the lands of his father IN
law, Mr.. Scott, who has both Hol.
stein and Jersey cows, and they
are fortune winners.
Mr.. Kincaid has told us all the
while that if he had farm he
would not think of running for
office. He has proved to us that
he meant what he said, and here's
wishing the best of everything
to come Ben's way, for he has
proved TO us 70 he a gentleman
worthy of confidence.

Citizens Working Road.

A number of the citizens from
this town, particularly automo-
bile owners, have done c0nsidera-
bic work on the road from the
city to the Clark county line at
Lulbegrud creek This road is
in terrible condition, and with.
out some work would take long
time to get in shape for satisfac.
tory travel. Ii is quite evident
that " we want good roads we,
the people, must bul!d them.
That six thousand dollars the
property owners paid for roads
and bridges last fall was just for
preliminary work preparatory to
actual work bv the people them
selves.

Auto License Fund Increases

As all automobile license eX-
pires Jan. lst of each year, the
bulk of license fund from this
source comes into the State treas.
ury at least during the first three
months. This year The total
amount collected for January,
FeEuary and March, for automo-
biles, motorcycles and chauffeurs'
license, amounted TO 8 POP, ,249. 90
against + l23, 353 S2 for the same
period of time last year. This
shows the automobile business
to be on substantial increase,
aud this means more money for
roads and that's what we all
want.

School House Takes Fire.

Wednesday morning while school
was In session, the city school
building caught fire on the roof
and but for the prompt work of
the bucket brigade, considerable
damage would nave resulted be-
fore the hose connections from
the power pump could be made.
Many citizens worked heroically
to save their seat of learning, and
it is fortunate that they were re-
warded by only slight damage to
the building, which is covered by
insurance.

The Tribune Special.

The Eslill Tribune came out
last week full sixteen pages large,
and brim full of most interesting
reading. The work, which was
all done In the Tribune office,
would have been credit to far
more pretentious Offices. The
write-up of the oil fields of Estill
and other counties of the State
was the best We have seen.
This special edition also gave a
nice little boost for Powell, and
had some very kind remarks
about the editor of this paper, in
connection with road building, all
of which we sincerely appreciate.

Brodhead. Garrett Company are
saving up the log boums at their
mill and up the river. This
means that from this time on
they will have no more logs to
come down the river, but instead, +,
all their timber will be shipped
over the railroad. They have
been shipping train load after
train load for the past few months
and will continue TO do so III
hopes of being able to keep the
saw mill running the greater part
OF the time.
The passing of the log booms
for Clay City is something new.
Never since the writer can re-
member, has this town been

icg at times thousands of most
valuable logs. Virtually all the
large poplar and white pine tim
ber has been cut and passed out
Red river, leaving nothing for
the Brodhead Garrett mill to do
but ship their logs by rail.
This mill has just recently in
stalled IA new and heavier jack
ladder to lift the many giant logs
from the river where they are
first plunged from the cars. The
logs are put in the water TO wash
them free from dirt aud gravel.
They are also more accessible by
getting them from the water over
the jack ladder than IN any other
way.

Jesse Barnett Pardoned.

Jesse Barnett, sent up from
this county in 1890 for the killing
of John III. Rose between here
and Stanton, was pardoned last
week. Barnett was but seven
teen years old when he did the
killing, and this probably saved
him from IA hanging. Barnett
was from Breathitt county, and
it was influences from that coun.
ty that secured his freedom.

time there will be local obligations for
relief-and in these the Red Cross will
naturally function through its chap
tiers and other local agencies. To
quote again from the recent statement
of the chairman of the Red Cross war
council:
THE American people will not per
nit families to suffer want because
their bread-winners are fighting for
their country. Cases will undoubted-
Il? arise wherein the allowance of the
government will not be adequate to
protect a family from financial dis
tress. Such cases the Red Cross will
