The Merrill News in speaking O

The Merrill News in speaking of
their many new industries says;
Now what docs this mean? 1t means
that Merrill is to be one OF the leading
II not the leading city in the WiScon-
sin valley. Our Saw mills will continue
to run for many years and the addition
of a pulp mill and two paper mills
and other manufacturing institutions
makes sure that Merrill will forge to
the front in the next few years. The
NEWS believes that these industries
are only the fore runners of what will
come in few years. Suffice it to say
that the future of Merrill is secured.
Stick by Merrill. Quit Quarreling,
and all whoop'er up for the city.

"a hOmely face is sometimes valu-
able asset" said an advertising agent
recently. ga New Jersey man I know
OF, spent lot of money advertising
an article, but it didn't go bit until
finally ne had cut made showing his
countenance. 1t was printed in the
newspapers and stuck up on bill
boards all over the country. The
face was SO homely that it attracted
attention. Then his goods began to
sell and today his estate is worth a
lot of money. It's queer example
of N is face is his fortune !"

Washington. April [.
 Democrats of Congress are particularly we'll pleased over the election tonight of Representative William Strother Cow herd of Missouri, as Chairman of the Democratic National Congressional Con- n.ittee.
 Mir Cowherd is recognized as one of the strongest Democrats in Congress, a man of fine self poise, keen political aoumen and remarkably we'll informed as to conditions in different parts of the country. He is a high class man and has ecne some of the best strokes for the party. His election will lend to the Cam paign Committees work force and dig nifty commensurate with it's importance during Presidential year.
 MT. Cowherd is one of the strongest lawyers in the House He had just serv- e'i term as Mayor of Kansas City when he was elected from the Fifth District to the Fifty-second Congress. and has served continuously since. Like his pred ecessor. Representative James l.. Grggs of Georgia, MT. Cowherd is a member of the Committee on Postoffices and SPost Roads. MT. Cowherd, although Missouri IS ostensibly committed to Senator Cock reli for the President nomination. is d supporter of the idea of nominating Judge Parker. R. H. Watkins

DELEGATE WILSON HEARD.
Opposes Repeal of the Desert Land
 Laws

Washington, April 7.-Delegate Wilson oi Arizona to-day was heard by the House Committee on Irrigation of arid lands in opposition to the repeal of the desert land laws.
 Mir Wilson pointed out the interest of the railroads in the repeal of these laws to be this: That 1t will be impos- sible for homeseekers to take up lands under the homestead act requiring five years residence because the lands can not be made fertile until water has been secured, taking two or three years; that under the desert land laws settlers can buy these lands from the government, make their improvements and get the lands in producing conditions before moving onto the lands By repeating the desert land laws, this procedure would be stopped. and a prospective settler would be compelled to buy their lands of the railroads.
 He challenged the statements of Mir. Maxwell before the committee, that cor porations had secured large tracts of lands in Arizona.
 MT. Maxwell, who was present as the representative of the national irriga- tion association. interjected the state ment that in Salt river valley in Ari- zona, 300.000 acres were held by corpora tions which had secured the land from individual purchasers.
 Delegate Rodey of New Mexico, fol- lowed MT. Wilson. also In opposition to the repeal of the desert land laws. He had never heard of frauds in their oper- ation in New Mexico

The platform ap- proves President Roooevelts Yoolicy con cerning the Panama canal; the good roads movement. national and territorial and the policy of Congress for the re- clamation of the arid and semi-arid re- gions of the West. The statehood plank of the platform follows:
 The Republican party has declared for immediate statehood for Oklahoma. consisting of the Indian Territory be att tached when its conditions make 1t ready. We. therefore, endorse the bill reported by the committee on territo- ries, introduced by Chairman Hamilton providing for a single State to be ad- mltted in 1906, now pending in the lower House of Congress. and we urge the immediate passage of this bill, that the people of Oklahoma may have that sov- ereignty to which their wealth. popula- ton and exalted citizenship so thorough ly entities them"

TAINTED WITH HEARsTIsM.
Therefore Secretary Edwards Fails of
 Reelection,

Washington. April 7.-Representative W. s. Cowherd of Missouri tonight was elected Chairman of the Democratic Con- gressional Committee without oppos- ton.
 About thirty members of the Congress sional Committee were present in the minority room at the Capitol. Mir. Cow herd was not present.
 The question of the election of sec retary of the Committee caused consid- era ble discussion.
 Representative Griggs of Georgia, the retiring chairman of the Committee pre- sided at the meeting tonight MT. Cow herd was placed in nomination by Repre- sentative Randall of Texas and the vote was taken without speeches or debate. The election of a secretary of the Com mittee. however. was not so easily dis posed of. The present secretary Charles A Edwards, was placed in nomination by Representative Kehoe of Kentucky and seconded by Representative Bowers of Mississippi, acting for Representative Williams, the minority leader. who was late in arriving at the meeting.
 Opposition 10 Secretary Edwards ap- peared. Representative Dinsmore moved that the newly elected chairman be au- thorized to appoint a secretary to the Committee.
 Representative Thayer of Massachu- setts indorsed this action. It was men toned that Secretary Edwards had some connection with the Hearst propaganda for the Presidency.
 The friends of Mir. Edwards answered this by stating that this fact ought not to influence the vote either way. as he mantainedt this connection entirely out side his offiical duties with the Com mittee.
 The Committee adjourned at Il o'clock without eecting a secretary. Many speeches were made on the subject and no other nomination was made for the office.
 Senator Carmack of Tennessee. and Representative Ransdel of Louisiana. made speeches against the reelection of Secretary Edwards
 The adjournment was voted for by the friends of Edwards. The absence of Mir. Cowherd was given as a reason for postponing action as to the election of a secretary. The next meeting will be call ed by the new chairman.
