PRESIDENT MAY TAKE (
TEXAS HUNTING TRIP

Austin, Tex, Dec. 2S.-Advices from
Washington say that Congressman
George Garner. whose district borders
on the Rio Grande, called on President
Roosevelt and invited him to go on
hunt with him on his visit to Texas
next spring. Mr.. Garner says the pres
ident expressed himself as anxious to
have another peccari hunt, he having at
one time visited Texas and killed one
of the animals ~
Mr.. Garner told the president if he
would come to his district he would
give him hunt after these animals and
bear hunt i'll the country between Del
Rio and Ell Paso. He would furnish
horses, hounds, guides and attendants.
The president replied that he was
getting heavy. but not old, and would
not like as wild horse as he formerly
would have wanted, but he had life
enough yet to want horse not too,
tame. He finally asked Mr.. Garner to
confer with Cecil Lyon and Sloan Simp-
son, who have his itinerary in Texas in
hand. He wants to make a hunt in
Texas and the matter will be arranged.

court Shippers of fruits from southern
California complained to the interstate
commerce commission that the railroads
insisted they had the right to route
fruit Shipments over eastern roads of
their own selection. The commission
decided that the shippers had the right
to select the routes over which their
shipments should be made The rail-
roads also were ordered to display to
the public their rates for the transpor-

MORE TROUBLE OVER
COLORADO ELECTIONS

+ Denver, Col, Dec. 2S.-The supreme
court heard arguments on the petition
of DR.. Michael Beshoar, Las Animas
senatorial candidate for leave to file an
application for a writ OF mandamus
compelling the state canvassing board
to count the returns as sent in, which
show Beshoar was elected.
The republicans have asked the
state canvassing board to go behind
the returns and give the certificate to
Rareta, on the ground of the alleged
frauds in Trinidad in the interest Of
Beshoar. The result of this case will
apply also to the Boulder County con-
test, which is of a similar nature.
If the certificates are issued to the
democratic candidates shown to be
elected on the face Of the returns there
will be a tie in the senate which will
consist OF seventeen republicans and
seventeen democrats, one seat being
vacant owing to the failure of Gov
ernor. Peabody to call special cleo
ton for the choosing of a successor
to the late Senator Buckley.

word pictures which aroused his hearers
to the highest pitch Of interest. Every
word and sentence bristIed with the
purest of eioquence which showed per-
feet mastery Of the subject. There
were no regrets over the sacrifice and
sIscomffure experienced in the cald
journey to the high school to hear the
lecture After the latter there was a
reception and the lateness of the east

dent Stockwell. chairman of the special
committee, and its adoption was prac-
tlcally unanimous as there was only
one dissenting voice. The report, in
substance, was a new constitution for
the governing of the association and
is in harmony with its enlarged func-
tions, the outgrowth of the develop
ment Of the state and her educational
affairs. One important change is the
consolidation of the presidency of the
association and the chairman of the
executive committee. Under, the new
order of affairs the president will be
more than mere fgurehead and he
will have voice in framing the poll
cies of the association, and in the for
mulating OF the programme over
which he is to preside at the annual
meeting. The report, too, provided
for the incorporation of the associa-
ton and the three members selected
as ineorporators were three ex-presi-
dents of the. association who are also
the oldest in point of service as fol-
lows: A. L. Woods of Grafton, Su-
perintendent Fancher of Devils, Lake,
and Joseph Kennedy of the University
OF Grand Forks. Mr.. Kennedy has
seen a service OF eighteen years as a
member of the association. The report
