Hard Has Been Working on This Project and Has Secured Good Rates. i S. F. Jackson of Lorane, was in Cottage d rove Tuesday with a sack o f fine looking coal taken from a vein discovered on his place 12 miles west o f Cottage d rove lately by his son, Charles. The coal was tested in the blacksmith forge of J. 11. Maker and was found to he good blacksmith coal, several pieces of iron and steel be ing nicely welded with it. It con tains considerable sulphur, but it is thought when the vein is tapped deejicr a still finer grade will be found. These samples displayed by Mr. Jackson also burned well in stoves and leaves little or no ashes. 'file vein was discovered under lying a strata of slate rock, which was cut through by a running stream, the coal vein just uncov ered being about one foot thick and it is thought that a large dei*osit will be found when a thorough prospect is made, the for mation being most favorable at this place. A coal miner looked through that district some years ago, but failed to locate the mineral in suf ficient quantities to warrant ex pending the necessary funds for opening it up. li e was positive, however, o f the existence o f coal in large deposits. FOR JUSTICE OF THE PEACE AND ALSO CITY RECORDER Attorney Joseph F. Young is a candidate for Justice o f thè Peace for Cottage («rove precinct on the republican ticket and candi date for city recorder 011 the " T a x payers” ticket. Mr. Voting has served as Justice of the Peace for the Cottage d ro ve precinct during the past year and has served in the capacity o f recorder for the city of Cottage d ro ve for five terms. He has been identified in the upbuild ing o f this city, is a property holder, and also is interested in the snwmilliiig industry of this community. Mr. Young has many friends in this community who are solicitious for his success both in the cit> and J une elections. A NEW AND PROFITABLE LOCAL INDUSTRY In accordance With the call issued by the city council at its last regular meeting the citizens of Cottage d rove assembled at the armory Friday evening for the pur- liose o f nominating a citizens mu nicipal ticket to be submitted to the voters of this place at the city election to be held next Monday April 6. Mayor Jones called the meeting to order and stated that according to custom the council at its last regular meeting had issued the usual call for a city nominating convention for the purpose of put ting up a city ticket to be voted on at the regular city election. The exjienses of this stated convention is always borne by the city couticil and is the only convention wherein any provisions are made for e x penses thereof, any other conven tions that may be held, being per sottal affairs. He announced that nominations and Mr. Kakin was chosen with out opposition. FOR COUNCILMAN. The various wards assembled in different parts o f the room and proceeded to nominate their re- sjiective candidates for councilmen. In the first ward A . I.. Wood ard, the sawmill man, was chosen for councilman by acclamation. In the second ward C. P. Jones and Henry l-'ischer entered the contest, the nomination being given to Mr. Jou%- by ballot. J. W. BAKER IS OUT In the third ward there was a FOR COUNTY JUDGE spirited contest between Mr. I.eroy Woods and C. C. Hazleton, the J. W .

Mr. Baker is by the assembly and he said: "M r. popular throughout the county and chairman and gentlemen, 1 stand has many friends in both parties. before you a candidate for mayor, He is thoroughly competent to per form the duties o f the office of county judge. The manner in which he conducted the office of state game warden and the ex cel lent work he did while serving in that capacity is a testimonial to his ability and worth. He will roll up a big vote in this county and in Smith I.ane in particular. For some time past, F'. J. Hard, the Bohemia mining man, has been working industriously on a plan for the shipment of the ores front his valuable properties in Bo hemia to the Tacoma smelter, but some delay has been occasioned in securing satisfactory transporta tion and smelter rates. Mr. Hard has lately returned home from a trip to the Tacoma smelter and the Leader is pleased to report that he has at last succeeded in getting sat isfactory rates both from the smelter and transportation com panies and will begin shipping out ores from his group of mities iti Bohemia as soon as preliminary arrangements can lie made. He says the smelter people are now ready to make almost any conces sion to get the ore to the smelter and the railroad companies offered finally every inducement in the way o f rates. Mr. Hard has much ore blocked out on the Vesuvius, Oregon-Colo- rado and Riverside properties in Bohemia, which carry good values and his returns from the smelter will no doubt be most gratifying. This enterprise on the part of Mr. Hard will no doubt give the whole Bohemia camp a boost and liven up things this season. STEAM LAUNDRY TO START UP MONDAY.
