Special Teachers Examination

There will be special exam
inston for teachers b e d in
Frankfort July 30 and 30. Those
persons who desire to become
teachers should arrange TO attend
these examinations. 1t begins
now to look as if though there
will be lacking of teachers In the
schools of our county, and as
many persons capable of passing
these examinations who are not
employed otherwise, it would be
good time for them to do lit
tie bit of good service by taking
the examination and teaching at
least one term.

To the Democratic Voters
of Powell County

Who will participate in the
primary election, August 9Th:
Having registered late in the
action for County Judge, Of
course / cannot see all voters, |
deem it proper and right, as was
stated in the last Issue of the
Clay City Times, to give you my
position as to what | would do if
nominated and elected to this
office.

of our public roads with close at.
tention that every dollar spent
will receive its dollar back in
value.
2. Select good men to equal.
ize the assessment of the county

county business on the same
principle.
3. Civil and penal laws. The
Office of County Judge was Great.
ed by statute. Statute laws were
created for him to carry out in
his procedure of each law. His
oath of office makes it his duty
to do that as designated by stat.
utory law that governs his duty
IN each, and it seems to me that
we, as citizens of Powell county
cannot offer an excuse, let lone a
single reason, for violating some
of the penal laws, such as carry.
ing concealed weapons, bootleg.
ging, moonshining, or any other
penal law.
So in conclusion, let me say TO
the citizenship of Powell county,
that our laws be respected, up
held and lived up to. | will give
the best that in me is to do so.
Ever keeping In mind to perse-
cute no individual man or wo-
man, for prosecution Of and the
upholding of the laws of our

blessing TO everv person, and on
this principle / ask the Demo
cratic voters of Powell, both wo.
men and men, for their votes and
influence, and will appreciate
the same. Respectfully.

Clay City is now entering upon
another industrial cycle-one
which will bring back all and
more of the prosperity the COM
munity enjoyed before the de-
pletion Of the native timber sup
ply.
This cycle Will come through
the development of our immense
deposits of Oil Shale. One com.
pany has already done a large
amount of development and con.
struction work and more will fol-
low shortly.
We of Clay City must all pull
together for the success of the
industry which will mean so much
to us, and in order TO work to the
best advantage for every one
concerned, we must first have
some definite knowledge as to
what shale is, what it contains
and how 1t must be handled to
be commercially profitable.
Because the future of our city
is directly linked with the shale,
the Times has arranged TO run
an educational article each week,
commencing with the next issue.
Read these articles carefully y
and you will realize what the
old estate Hills" can mean to
all of us-then boost the enter
prise at every opportunity for 1t
will mean dollars in our pocket
and new commercial birth to
our city.
Get the facts-the only eX.
~ruse for knocking is ignorance.
Your paper has gone TO consider
able trouble TO get exact infOr-
matlon-so profit by this infor.
nation and do your share, and
our city will soon become the
busy center of an enormous in
dustry which cannot help but
bring prosperity and plenty to
US all

Bank Report

The Clay City National Bank
has a fine report in this issue Of
the Times. BY the report it will
be seen that the resources of the
bank are steadily climbing up.
The deposits are still on the IN
cline, notwithstanding the busi-
ness depression. The time and
checking deposits lack but few
dollars amounting to $500, ,00o. 90.
which is remarkable when you
consider the time and the place.

CHARTER HERE

w. Ward Davies, district super
visor of the Moose Lodge of Phoenix,
Ariz., and r. w. Baker, supreme aud
itor, were in Clayton this week, look
ing after the interests of the local
lodge of Moose. Mr.. Baker audited
the books of the lodge finding them
in good shape and also that the lodge
is in good condition, as far as financ-
es are concerned. The local lodge
has been inactive for some time, and
on Monday night meeting was call
ed to discuss the Hlvisability of sur
rendering the charter. But after
hearing the report of the auditor,
and upon advice from Mr.. Davies, a
special dispensation was granted,
giving the lodge the right to suspend
meetings until such time as suit
able meeting place and night could
be obtained. In this way, the lodge
can be maintained here. All mem
bers of the Clayton lodge are re-
questeG to call at the secretary's Of

their dues and make it possible to

CONTRACTS LET FOR SIX
FEDERAL ROAD PROJECTS

Contracts for six federal aid road
projects were awarded by the State
Highway Commission on Wednesday
and Thursday. The new roads will
be located in five counties, and will
have a total length Of 209.9i8 miles.
The aggregate cost will be 1881 1858,
which is nearly $4,000 less than
the projects were estimated to cost
several months ago. Two important
factors enter into this great reduc-
tion. One is that the construction
costs have dropped sharply; the 9TH
or that contractors count New Mex
leo contracts highly desirable and
are willing to make low bids in order
to land them. II is said that the
statethighway commission pays more
promptly than most of the other
states.
There were 60 bids received on the
six projects. So many interested
persons attended the reading of the
bids that it was necessary to use the
supreme court room in order to have
space enough. Contractors were
present from several states, and two
of the contracts were awarded to
firms that have not done any fed
eral aid work in the state. One went
TO a concern that built the first
completed federal aid project in the
state, but has not had any contracts
recently.
The J. " Stryker Construction
company, of Denver, received the
three following contracts:
No. 50 for S62iOO, in SocOrrc
county fl.277 miles in the Datil can
yon.
No. SO, for si6,ii553, in Torrance
county, 1851 miles between Lucy
and EncinO.
No. 80, for SSO.5O0. in Union coun-
ty, 5iiH miles between Clayton anC
Nara Visa.
Allhands and Davis, of Cleburne
Texas, received the contract on No
80, in Lea county, 47734 miles ex-
tending across the county from cas-
TO west Price si8694,52. This j.
one of the new firms.
Peterson, Shirley and Gunther, ot
Omaha, the other new firm, received
the contract on No. 58 the Ionges
single federal aid project in On,

miles in length, and will cost S75,-

that secured No 35, in San JuaI
county, for S68,7O383. The projec

GIRL TEAM WILL
MAKE CLAYTON
BOYS PLAY BALL

The greatest ball game of the sea-.
son is scheduled for Wednesday,
when the Western Bloom-
er Girls will meet the Clayton Grays
on the diamond here: Anyone who
thinks these girls can't play blall has
another guess coming. According to
their manager, and also the press
clippings shown us, they are the
next thing to unbeatable. They have
met and defeated some of the best
semi-pro teams in the country. They
live baseball playing every day in
the week, and they are coming here
TO give the best there is in them.
But you can just bet the boys are
not afraid. They are working out
every evening and are just deter
mined that this team, made up of the
gentle sex" is not going to take
their scalps. The management is
trying to plug up the weak gaps and
the girls will know they have had a
real game. Johnny Corich, who
pitched such a good game at Tex
line on last Sunday, will be on the
mound for Clayton, and Johnny sure
doesn't like to be beaten by girls
He's going to pitch some. This team
claims to have the only lady battery
in the world, and the manager states
that they will begin working against
our boys. Come out and see this
game as it is going to be the best ot
the season.
