IMPORTANT MATTER BEING NEGLECTED.

e OR nearly year now it has been generally
understood that during the winter of 1888,
while the farm and other work for men and teams
was slack that the business district of Main street
was to be surfaced In anticipation of this pro-
gram, the Supervisor has graded and gotten the
street in readiness, and now all that appears to
be needed is for the Mayor to issue the call, and
marshal the forces. Last winter practically two
blocks of the street in the southern portion of
town was surfaced and has proved an incalcuable
benefit and Improvement. The winter before the
southern portion of the street was placed in good
condition, leaving the central part in the bus
mess district the worst part of the entire street
We cannot afford to permit this condition to
continue, and yet the winter is fast slipping by
and the first thing we know spring will be here
with all the hurry scurry incident to the planting
of spring crops and our opportunity will have es-
capped us. NOW is the time to act on this matter
the sooner the better.
Nothing adds more to the good appearance of
a town than smooth hard, well kept streets and
sidewalks. The curb is in all through this portion
of the street and when the surfacing is on it will
be pleasure for the tourist to pass through Cedar
City on his long journey from Salt Lake or the
East to the Pacific coast and from all indications
a lot of them are going to pass here the coming
spring and summer.
Anyhow, we need a good street for our own
convenience, and the surfacing of the street with
some of the excellent material available will elm
mate the greater part of the dust which is such
nuisance to the business houses during the sum-
mer months, to say nothing of the mud in the
spring and during stormy weather periods
We are waiting for the signal, Mr.. Mayor.

ONCE more we are confronted with promis-
ing prospect for a railroad into Cedar City. OF
course we have often felt this way before and have
suffered disappointment upon each occasion, so
that some will refuse to believe until they see the
ties and steel actually nailed together and hear
the screech Of the locomotive, yet we must admit
that we have approached one notch nearer this
time than before, for there is one car of the
steel rails already at Lund, and we are assured in
the most positive manner that the entire equip
ment of steel, ties and rolling stock has already
been contracted for and is on hand. Let us hope
that we will be saved another disappointment.

DIR. MIDDLETON stated number of plain
common sense truths in an able article published
in the Deseret Evening News recently in which
he advocated a nationwide crusade for the elm
ination of influenza from the United States. He
pointed out the inconsistency of the general gov
eminent remaining passive in matter of such
grave consequence, when we go down into Panama
and clean up the yellow fever and malaria, into
the Philippines and to the ends of the earth al
most to eradicate contagious of various kinds. DR..
Middleton is right, and influenza is like whiskey-
in order to effectualy eliminate it the whole ma
ton must unite on definite, rational plan of ac-
ton and each locality do its part There is no
question but that influenza, contagious as it is,
can be cleaned up if the government will go about
the matter in an energetic and intelligent way.

C. (. CALHOUN MAY BECANDDATE
Former Circuit Clerk of This County Seriously Considering Entering Race For Secretary of State.

|
 Nevada county may soon have an other avowed candidate for state office in the person of c. c. Calhoun of this city. who is seriously consider ing entering the race for secretary of state to succeed the present incum- bent, Tom J. Terral, although Mir. Calhoun has not definitely committed himself on the subject, other than that he is giving it careful consider ation.
 Mir. Calhoun has been solicited by many of his friends in different parts of the state to enter the race for sec retary of state, and 1t is because of the strong encouragement he has re- ceived that he has decided to consider carefully before announcing his de- cision, he said. Many of these solici- tations were made before he ever gave the matter second thought, Mir. Calhoun said.
 As to his qualifications for the office, there is no question, although Mir. Calhoun has not been in politics many years, the fact must be consid- cred that neither is he an old man. He held the office of circuit clerk of this county for two terms, refusing in the face of strong encouragement, to ,-,,,, fo,. ., fb;,.J t,,.y>, T., 4bo o,,,o " of circuit clerk, he discharged the duties in 100 per cent efficient man. ner, the books being turned over to the new circuit clerk who succeeded Mir. Calhoun, in a neat shape, bearing evidence of a careful business admin istration.
 Mir. Calhoun was among the leaders in all the war activities in the past four years, dividing his time as cir cult clerk with that of the war de- mands. He was sales director of each of the Liberty Loan drives and the Victory Loan, and was treasurer for the Nevada county Red Cross in each of the drives. He was also active in each of the other war work cam paigns, serving in these capacities in the same business-like and efficient manner as in the circuit clerks of flee.
 MT. Calhoun has had number of years experience at the head of high schools in the county and graduated a number of years ago at Draughon's Business College.
 As candidate from Nevada county we feel sure that he wuold carry the county solid and everyone who has had the pleasure of any business re- lations with him, there he will cinch a vote Mir. Calhoun is christian gentleman in every sense of the word, and his business experience amply qualities him to fill the office of secre- tary of state.
