"A little over two years ago rough
understandable northwest lumber was sell

feet. That was in the era of compe-
tition. New such lumber is quoted to us
by the combine at SIS per thousand feet.
Yes, prices are better at the coast mills
now. owing to the general heavy demand
for northwest lumber further east. but

The Boomerang has the temerity to
charge that the country is fully repre-
scented upon the democratic ticket.
That is true as to it's legislative ticket,
but the leaders of the democratic par
ty never had any idea of eleoting their
legislative ticket. hence it was a good
son to throw to the country. All three
of their candidates for county commits
sioners are from the city, and the only
other candidate they have named from
the country is Mr.. Clark of Red
Buttes, and it certainly will not be
claimed for him that he represents the
country. In fact he don't represent
anything but himself. No property in
terest Of n description; only a resi-
dence gained by living in a station

pany. Even this residence is subject

he is a safe man to tie to. If they
ohuem him as a man lacking in in
tegrity, treacherous and deceitful, and
fail to indorse him when he comes be-
lore them asking for their votes. then
1t may be concluded that he is not of
the right sort.
Mr.. Mondell was seven times mayor
OF Newcastle by an overwhelming vote.
Twice he was sen to the state senate
by a vote that was practically unani-
nous. His social standing has been
OF the very highest. Financially he
has the reputation of doing what he
agrees to do and his credit is
tioned.
How is it with Mr.. Thompson?
What do the people of Cheyenne think
of him? He was a candidate for pub
lie prosecutor at one time and the re
suit was overwhelming defeat. He was
before a democratic legislature as AN
didate for United States senator and
was repudiated. AS a lawyer in Chey-
enne he has been without practice.
Financially he is discredited. Morally

Fight for the West.

In the great conflict that has beer
waged in congress during the past few
years to secure recognition Of the yes
in matters of Legislation pertaining t.
reclamation of arid land the Wyoming
delegation, and particularly Senator
Warren, has led in the work.
Prejudice and Indifference have hat
to be fought, and not only opposition
on the part of the east and south has
been arrayed against efforts to give
the west its due, but there have beer
and are many in the west who, for pur
poses of political advantage, stand ir
the way.
In the closing hours of the Fifty
Fifth congress Senator Warren made
a fight for the west which challenged
the admiration of the whole country
He did not obtain the specific benefit
for which he was fighting, which was
an appropriation to build storage res
~ervoirs along Piney creek, Wyoming
but he did what was perhaps better
He arrested the attention of the entire
country and brought so clearly and
emphatically to the front the needs
and rights of the west that an advance
of ten good years was made towards
obtaining them. Despite his failure at
that time to get the desired aid for the
west Senator Warren did not drop the
fight. Since then he has secured the
establishment of the Bureau of Irriga.
ton experiments which, under the
direction of Prof. Elwood Mead, is do.
ing effective, practical and valuable
work for the cause of irrigation, not
only in the west, but in the whole
country. The appropriation for this
bureau this year is $4,000 and next
year it will be $4,000
Special Appropriations.
Through the efforts of Senator War,
rem special appropriations of s120, 900
were secured this year to enable the
geological survey to make %investiga-
tons of the water supply of the west
and to make surveys of desirable stor.
age reservoir sites. Under this appro-
priation at the present time the sur
vey is surveying sites in the Big Horn
basin and will at once make a survey
to determine the practicability of es-
tablishing a big storage reservoir sys-
TEN in the valleys Of the Big and Little
Sand creeks to be supplied from the
food waters of Green river, a system
which, if it is established, will serve
to reclaim thousands of acres of land
in Northern Sweetwater county, now
a useless desert.
With such a delegation on duty in
the national capital as Wyoming now
has the state need have no fear of be-
ing overlooked. In the campaign now
in progress not a man can be found
