Rabid Wolves Threaten
 Lives of Many Citizens

ALTURAS, Cal, Feb. 2.-Another scourge of rabid wolves is feared for Modoc County and adjacent regions. Several coyotes, made desperate and fearless by the malady, have been sighted at widely separated points, which prompts the belief that a general spread of rabies will ensue.
 About three years ago, rabid wolves and coyotes became So num- erous in this county that people in the fields and on the roads were in constant danger. and several persons were attacked with fatal results. A coyote in that condition does not hesitate to enter a farm yard or even d house. and is regarded as a particularly dangerous beast.

CITY CAMPAIGN
Citizens and Peoples Ticket Both Com
plete and Campaign Interesting.

The tickets of both the Citizens and
Peoples parties are now complete as
will be found by reference to the offic-
ial list of nominations in this issue,
and the campaign is warming up in
interest, but without the acrimory of
some of the past campaigns we are
glad to state. Eskel A. Lundgren for
city treasurer is the only name that
appears on both tickets, and there will
be contests on all the other positions.
The mayor, clerk and treasurer are
voted for by the voters of all three
wards, but each ward has its own
ticket for aldermen, and its citizens
vote for those candidates only.
All voters who are not registered
still have an opportunity to do so un-
til Saturday evening by appearing at
the city clerks office with two voters
to vouch for them.
The main issue of this campaign is
the fact that Lamar has reached that
stage of development where city i'm
provements are imperative if the peo-
pie are to enjoy the comforts and
cOnveniences that can be had in u
place of Lamar's size. and it becomes
question of securing these things
without making the burden too heavy
on the taxpayers or the users of
light, power and water. Taxes have
been lowered some. but a greater re-
duction is absolutely necessary if our
city is to prosper. Light rates must
come down to make it a desirable
place for tenants to live.
To procure these things the very
best business talent of the city is
needed in the coming two years to
handle the expenditure of the money
raised by various means. All the can
didates on both tickets are men of
good character and high standing. but
The Register believes that the citizen
who carefully goes over the situation
will find that the Citizens Ticket rep
resents the very best business talent
of our city, and its election will in
sure good government and a reduc-
tion of the citizens burdens.

ORGANIZE COMMERCIAL BODY
Largely Attended Meeting on Last
Friday Evening Names Commit
tee to Organize CONNER
cial Body for Lamar.

A meeting was called at the city
hall last Friday evening for the pur-
pose of organizing new commercial
body for Lamar and large number
of the city's business men were pres
ent. Fred Betz was elected chairman
and Chas. owen secretary.
There was general discussion of the
question in which several dozen of the
business men expressed themselves as
favoring some sort of an association
for public advancement and the pro-
notion of new industries for our city.
The various organizations Of the past
were discussed and it was generally
agreed to form a new organization en-
tirely. A committee composed of the
chairman, Allyn Cole, president of the
Y. NJ. B. A, and F. NJ. Wilson was on
motion authorized to select a commit
tee of thirteen to formulate plans for
the new organization. After consulta-
ton they named the following:
NJ. R. Sunday, Fred Kelsey, C. C.
Huddleston, w. G. Brown, C. E. Fort
ney, r. E. Adams, Geo. Corzine, Cora
Strain, c. Stocker, w. ]. Johnston,
Allyn Cole, F. NJ. Wilson and Fred

Sunday that the end had come and
the hardy pioneer had passed over
the divide. Sam, as he was known to
all, came to Colorado in the early days
with nothing but grit and ambition
as his assets. He went to work as a
miner and proved his worth by be-
longing for seven years to the cham
pionship team of drillers in the state.
He later went into the mining game
with the same SUCCESS and when
wealth came to him he used it liber-
ally to develop all the resources of
the state, agricultural, manufactur-
ing and others as well as mining. A
man of pleasing personality and kind
ly disposition, able, untiring and al
ways easy to approach he has for
years been one of the best liked and
foremost of Colorado's wealthy citi-
zens. Colorado has lost a public spir-
tied and progressive citizen and states
man and the loss will leave a place
hard to fill.

BOY KILLED
Clarence Glazebrook Killed by Truck
on Main Street Monday AZ

About four o'clock Monday after
noon as the McCue coal truck driven
by Irwin Sewer was coming down
Main street just in front of the Duck
valid store Clarence Glazebrook, nine
year-old son of ]. w. Glazebrook, ran
from behind the parked autos right
in front Of the truck. Mr.. Sewer set
the brakes hard and stopped the truck
in its own length but the boy was

feet. The little fellow was picked up
Immediately by Mr.. Sewer and by

Likes where several physicians work
ed earnestly to save his life, but he
died about an hour later. The body
was taken to the Hoggatt undertaking

decided to hold no inquest as all by
standers unite in exhonorating Mr..
Sewer from blame as he was not driv-
ing fast and the child ran from be-
hind the autos where he could not be
seen until it was too late. The affair

TWO BUTTINSk VS.
Wilson and McAdOodledoo Want to
Run Colorado Democracy.

The news of Senator Nicholson's
death had hardly got on the wires
when exPresident Wilson sent tele-
gram to Governor Sweet to appoint a
man by the name of Thompson to the
place. The first thought of every
democrat in the state-Sweet includ-
ed-was whoinell is Thompson. In
vestigation showed he lived here
twenty years ago and Mr.. Sweet is
now trying to find out if he is still
alive. William G. MaAdoodledoo-
not to be outdone by papa-in-law--at
once wired to appoint Sonny" Nor
rison Shafroth. At least he is a resi-
dent of the state though probably
hasn't reached the senatorial age yet
Mr.. Sweet may have something to say
about the matter, himself, when it
comes time and the chances are he is
thinking about Sonny" too, but it
is Sonny" Adams, if we are not mis-
taken.

NJ. J. Kenney Construction Co., Den

NJ. j. Kenney Construction Co., Dem
yer, concrete, $103, ,4S3.75.
After the bids we're read the repre-
sentatives Of the contractors were ask
ed to leave the room and after the
doors were closed, there was a general
discussion Of the question by the prop
erty holders in the district. II was
then that Engineer Weiland sprung
his surprise in which he practically
repudrated his own specifications and
placed those favoring brick at an ov-
erwhelming disadvantage. The larg-
er property holders seemed to be pret-
ty well divided between brick and bith-
ulithic, but several of the former
changed after the engineers state
ment There were scarcely any ad-
vOcates of the concrete paving, only
two registering their approval of 1t.
Even with the handicap the brick men
made a very strong showing, but mem
bers Of the council who were keeping
check on the vote said that majority
of those expressing an opinion favor
ed the bithulithic paving, and accord
ingly on motion of Alderman Myers,
seconded by Alderman Strain the
members Of the council voted unani-
mously in favor Of making a contract
with the Strange Mcclure Paving Co.
of Pueblo, who had in the lowest bid
on the bithulithic paving. There was
much discussion Of the matter by the
property holders-some of it quite
heated-but those losing out took it
goodnaturedly when it was all over.
To the spectator who we're not prop
erty holders the African gentleman
hidden in the woodpile was so evident
that they enjoyed good laugh over
the comedy being played before them
some of the property holders, how
ever, failed to appreciate the comedy
feature.
A large portion of the paving now
being done in Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo is of the bithulit-
hic character, and the Strange-Mc-
Guire people are large contractors in
this work, so Lamar should have in
short time fine paved district at a
very reasonable price. This after all
is the main thing, and there is gen
eral rejoicing throughout the city as
a result of the contract being signed
and the last impediment to paving be-
ing removed.
Dan Orr, division superintendent Of
the Santa Fe railroad, was present to
represent his company at the meet
ing. The company will have one of
the largest bills to pay, but Mr.. Orr
when appealed to refused to take
any part at all in the discussion as he
said his company's attitude was to let
the citizens of the town have the kind
of paving they desired and the Santa
Fe willingly paid its share of the bill.
The company's only interest is to see
that the work is done at reasonable
figure.
