"The Best County

Club Starts
Sewerage Fund

At it's last meeting, the Civic Clut
Iof Pennington decided to start a Sew.
erage Fund. Almost every citizen OF
Pennington is eager to have a sew
erage system in our city, and the
Civic Club, always ready to assist in
any work for the improvement of the
community, voted to deposit $500
with the Bank of Pennington for the
purpose of starting the Sewerage
Fund. The Club expects to add to
this fund from time to time and an
nounces that those interested in con-
tributing to this fund are requested
to remit such amounts as they de-
sire to donate, to the Civic Club
treasurer or deposit same to the cred
it of the Sewerage Fund at the Bank
of Pennington.
No one will deny that Pennington
needs sewerage system, and it is
evident that the building of such a
system would be of great benefit to
our city.

Trustees Appointed

The Mine La Motto Lead Co., OF
Mine La Motto, NO., whose property
lies in st. Francois and Madison coun-
ties, made voluntary assignment
last Friday, and Festus, ]. Wade, OF
the Mercantile Trust Co., of st. Louis
and j. l.. Caselton, manager of the
st. Louis Smelling & Refining Co.,
were appointed trustees. News of the
assignment created considerable ex-
citement among the miners and the
many others who are dependent up
on the mines and miners for their
livelihood. Such excitement increased
on the following day-pay day
MANY of the miners experiencing
great difficulty in getting money on
the checks'with which they had been
paid. But conditions had swung
back to their normal by the first of
the week, and again everything is
running smoothly at Mine La Motto.
Lack of prosperity did not figure
In the voluntary assignment of these
mines, as things were never before in
more prosperous condition there.
The trouble was entirely due to dis
oSlSSillSllI DGbWGGl Iue Eastern ana
Western stockholders, making it
practically impossible to run the
mines in manner satisfactory to
all interested parties. Mine La
Motto is one of the oldest mines in
the entire country, and has been run
ming continuously for about 150
years. Even before that, history re-
cords that these mines had been work
ed periodically for about 68 years.
At present about 1000 men are en-
ployed in these mines.
Considerable improvement has re-
Gently been made in Mine La Motto,
notwithstanding the internal dissen-
sions that have long been in exist
ence. There is no question but that
great riches still remain to be ex-
tracted from those old mines, so that
there is little fear that the work will
be checked there, especially under ex-
isting conditions. Among the new
machinery that has recently been in
stalled there, is an immense rock
crusher, with capacity for crushing a
stone 5 by feet dimensions. This
great machine is being used princi-
pally for making of ballast of DIFF
ferent kinds, especially for road work.

Incorporates
for 100000

The Lucky Jack Mining Co., which
is entirely owned by Pennington cit.
liens, has incorporated for 100000
This is apparently one of the richest
properties in the Miami, Okla, min.
ing field, that district which is estab-
fishing a new record for fabulous
wealth. The stockholders in this COM
pany are: DR.. B. J. Robinson, f. ].
Mckinney, w. L. Hensley, Geo. X.
Williams, j. S. Clay and other Farm
ingtonians.
A contract has just been let by this
company for mill, of 500 tons capac-
ity, to cost IN the neighborhood of
$4,000. Splendid headway is re-
ported on Shaft No. l for this COM
pany, which now shows a face of As

are still in the mineral. The Times

their prospects for riches untold.

Marshal Sworn In

Solon Hough, the newly elected
City Marshal of Pennington, has TAX
en- his oath of Office and took charge
of the Marshal's Office Monday morn
ing. His many friends are confident
that Solon will "make good" on his
new job, as they say it is his inten-
tion to enforce the law in all it's de-
tails and to "play" no favorites. If
he does that, there can be absolutely
no just cause for complaint.
Mr.. Hough grew up in Pennington,
where he has host of friends. He
is known as an industrious and ambi-
tious young man, clean-cut and above
criticism in his manner of living. The
Times bespeaks for him successful
term as Marshal.

Examine Flues;;
Protect Yourself

1t would be a wise and safe precau-
tion now for every property owner
or tenant to examine carefully the
fiues in their residences and business
houses, to see that they are still in
tact, after the earthquake shocks of
Monday. 1t is entirely possible that
some iues have been impaired by
that Shaking up, and "a stitch in
time may save nine" in this instance.
1t is a fact, which has often been
observed, that more fires have usually
followed earthquake shocks, especial
ly when they have been as severe as
was that of last Monday. You will
be safeguarding your own interests
by looking after the condition Of your
fiues. Il.

Wireless Stations
Are Disnantled


Cleve Pratt and Browning Miller,
two young men of Pennington who
have had amateur wireless telegraph
stations at their homes, on Sunday re-
celyed notice from the United States
Radio authorities to dismantle their
stations within forty-eight hours.
The work of tearing down these
stations was Immediately begun. and
both of them are now entirely out of
commission, as these gentlemen had
no intention or desire to do anything
contrary to the demands of Uncle
Sam. While they constructed these
stations themselves, somewhat crude
ly, they were able to get results, and
only the latter part of the week they
got a message that had been sent
from a German war vessel.

Earthquake
Shocks Here

Earthquake shocks which visited
this section of Missouri, as well as
several adjacent States, Monday af-
ternoon, were perhaps as vividly felt
in this particular section of country
as any other. There were two diff
ferent shocks, the first occurring at
about 2;30 and the next at about 5:45
o'clock. The first manifestation of
internal disturbances appeared to be
more of double shock, and its du-
ration was about twice as extended
as was the latter shock.
Buildings were noticeably shaken
and the earth actually trembled. In
some instances goods were shaken
from store shelves. But the most
noticeable result of such mcanny
shocks was the effect they had on the
populace. Practically everyone in the
business district of Pennington were
out of buildings and into the middle
of the streets within an increditably
brief space of time, looking up at the
buildings, as though expecting them
to topple over.
1t is such demonstrations as this
tHdC DflIlgS men TO more complete
realization Of their lost and undone
condition, and carries home to them a
more complete knowledge of what
fallible creatures we really are. 1t
should also bring to the consciences
Of all a more thorough realization of
Christ's omnipotence-that He really
holds this earth in the hollow Of his
hand. 1t is such demonstrations as
this that cause men to stand open
mouthed and staring, absolutely in
competent and inefficient.
