Common People His Friends.

Plain, honest Bob Dunn, the ever
loyal friend of the common people.
will still be the same genial. every day
man after he is elected governor. He
has gone on record as favoring many
reform measures in taxation and ex-
tending the primary election law to be
operative in nominating State officers.
There. is no veneer to his char
acter, but stands out as plain, loyal,
honest man-one whom it is a pleas
ure to call friend. And just because
of his honesty in political business
and private life, he is cordially hated
by certain class of politicians. The
common people of the State are his
friends and will cast their vote for
him.-Adams Review --..

What Senator Ward SAYS.

Senator G.. B. Ward of Alexandria
who represented Mr.. Eddy on the Gre
Dental committee at the State conven-
ton and whose second choice was
Judge Collins, makes the following
statement in the Alexandria Post
News: ''Now that r. G. Dunn is
nominated he will receive my hearty
support. He came into the convention
with larger support oustide of the
two cities than that of the two oppos-
ing candidates combined. I know of
no reason why the vote for governor
in Douglas county should not be fully
as large as that given in other years. I
am in favor of having the next legis-
lature so amend the primary election
law that it will include candidates for
State offices, thus doing away with
State conventions. If the law is good
for county, congressional and judicial
candidates it is good for State officers.
I would include all. I am for the en-
tire State ticket and believe it will

Those papers and persons that are

probably not reckoning with another
combination the ''good Democrat"

populists, who, in the absence of a
candidate of their own party, will cast
their votes for Bob Dunn in prefer

Senator Nelson's Opinion.

United States Senator Knute Nelson
of Alexandria says that the Republi-

as far as he has been able to learn in
that part of he State is good. He be-

cause for alarm over the results of
the campaign as to either the State or

there is long contest before the con-
vention, it is natural that some peo-
pie should be disappointed,'' said

generally loyal to the nominees of the
party, and see no reason why the

good majority. believe that Presi-

there has been thousands of lawyers
fees that were more rotten than this

There must be some other reason for
Burtons unpopularity.
This is the explanation: he is a big
feeling man.
After his election as United States
senator he assumed q superior air. He
shook hands high. and quickly took his
hand away from the grasp of plebeian.
He talked in the stilted language used
by magazine writers. He felt his oats,
and could not disguise the fact. He
offended every man he talked, by the
air of superiority. The result was, the
people hated him and went after him.
The last time Burton was in Atch-
iscon he called at the Globe office, and
while he was cordial he was plainly
big feeling man. He had just returned
from Honolulu, and knew Lii, the

I POSSIBLE FENCE posi- SUPPLY.

The United States bureau of forestry
has been conducting series of expert
ment and investigation into the cheap
or methods Of preserving the ordinary
and inferior woods against decay, both
In and out of the ground. The increas-
ing difficulty experienced in getting
high grade timbers as well as the in
creasing prices for such timbers, has
brought the question of the preserva-
Non OF woods of lesser resisting powers
10 the front. In the past, the long liv-
ia timbers like white oak, longleaf
pine and cedar were employed wher-
ever resistance to decay was an impor-
tant requisite. AS long as these tim
bers were available in large quantities.
It proved most economical to use them.
Now that they are much more difficult
sive. the question is frequently asked:
is 1t practicable to use timbers which
are not as resistant to decay. but which
can be treated chemically; and, IL so,
what does II cost TO treat them, ana
what length of life is it possible to
get?
The results of these experiments
have shown that certain preservatives
properly applied woods naturally
prone to rapid decay will extend the
life of fence post or railway tie al
most indefinitely. The best of these
are the tar oils, spirittine carbolineum.
etc. Corrosive sublimate is also an ex-
cellent preservative.
In preserving fence posts, for exam.
ple, the wood to be treated must be
thoroughly seasoned and dry. In the
treatment by the corrosive sublimate Il
common wooden vat is filed with the
posts which are covered with the mer-
scurial solution of one part sublimate to
$50 of water. When the posts are
thoroughly soaked with the solution
they are taken out and replaced with
others. Thus treated they are said to
