You do not know all the resources

is no reason why southern California
should not be the sugar bowl of the

will see sugar beet plantations spring

beauty of the sugar business is that the

BURL1NeToN's SWIFT RUN.
Makes 70 Miles in 70 Minutes, In
Guiding Six Stops.

Chicago, May IA special train on
the Burlington road made a remarka-
Bile and record breaking run yesterday
from Mendoza to Chicago, a distance
of SO miles.
Considering all the circumstances, it
rivals any time ever made by any train
for the same distance. One stretch of
four and three-tenth miles was covered
in exactly three minutes, this being at
the rate of Sc miles hour.
The train was composed of an Ordina-
ry locomotive, one coach, and the gen
eral uperintendent's private car. It
brought back small party of Burling-
ton officials and invited guests, who
went as far out as Mendoza on the pala-
tial new train which the Burlington has
just put on to run regularly between
Chicago and Kansas City.
No previous arrangements for a rec
ord breaking run had been made. The
trip was made from Mendoza to West
ern avenue, a distance of 70 miles, in
exactly rs minutes, or a mile a minute
This includes stops, which consumed
a least six minutes. The most remark
able thing about this trip is that the
train was pulled by an ordinary, com
mon locomotive, the one which brings
the regular No. 9 from Mendoza to
Chicago daily.

Columbus. O.. May 1.-THE Hanna

state committee had hot fight al the

state convention.
The Hanna men wanted an early con-

The Hanna faction won by one major

Toledo. June p and %.
The debate was at times exceedingly
bitter. Hugh Buckley of Cleveland, a
Foraker follower, accused his opponents
of supporting Hanna because they
wanted pOstOffices.
CfTOsvenOr, who was Hanna's chief
representative, declared that the Re
publicans had nothing to fear from a
long campaign. If the election last fall
had come a month earlier, he said,
Bryan would have been elected. To
this a Foraker man retOrted that if it
had come a month later Bryan would

afternoon with women and young girls,
who sit and chat and sip queer drinks
out of large and small glasses. More
straight whisky is passed over the
counter than goes over the counter of
any saloon in Louisville.
OF course the women do not order
their drinks in plain language, as the
men do For instance a, blue grass

lar names are employed to designate
various mixed drinks.
The city authorities are powerless,
because the drug store is compelled by
state law to take out d license exactly
similar to that of the barrOOn, even
though they sell whisky only for medf-
cinaI purposes, and on doctors pre-
scriptiOn. The druggist argues that if
he must pay a saloon license he might
as well do q saloon business. And as
there are no saloons for women, they
naturally flock to the soda fountain,
where the thirst-quenchers dispensed
are not limited to plain or ice cream

umphs' said the speaker. Reference
was made to the coming pioneer jubi-
lee, which the speaker characterized as
being an event of Importance not only
TO Utah. but to the entire United States
and in a lesser degree to the whole
world. The works of the pioneers
speak for themselves, for they had
transformed these regions from a bar
rem waste to a veritable garden of
Eden of which the entire west had rea-
son to be proud. Mr.. Quinn then men
toned the incident of Utah sending to
the people of Montana carloads of lilacs
as a goodwill offering, a delicate and
appreciative compliment, and although
the perfume of the flowers had passed
away the memory of the act would
never fade from the minds of the Deo-
pie of Montana. Montana and Utah"
said the speaker in conclusion, ARE
really one people. State boundaries are
merely imaginary lines and the two
commonwealth will march shoulder to
shoulder TO the splendid destiny which
awaits them" (Great applause.)

Judge Colborn's remarks, said that
Montana was proud of Utah and. her
achievements and the visitors we're
proud to meet their literary brethren
of this state. These social amenities all
help in the upbuilding of the material
wealth of the great west. Every editor
in Montana is an Archedamas. willing
to move the world If he only had a
place on which to stand. and in time he
hoped Montana would make splendid
progress equal to or surprising that of
Utah. The press of Utah had been and
still is a great factor in the advance
ment of Utah. Next year the Montana
journalists intended joining with those
of the state of Washington and making
a trip TO the Sound country and the
speaker extended "a cordial invitation
to the Utah newspaper men to join in
