St. Clair for Gormau. .

The following interview with
Gen. j. w. st. Clair, of this State.
is clipped from the Washington
Post. of Monday, last.
"The nomination of Senator
Gorman will go long way toward
the rehabilitation of the Demo-
cratic party" said Gen. j. w. st.
Clair, one of the foremost lawyers
of West Virginia, at the Arlington.
"The reasons for his selection
are so obvious and weighty that it
hardly requires any argument to
demonstrate his availability The
country wants man who has been
tried, whose record is known to all
men, and who has shown himself
to possess the qualities of leader.
The Maryland man measures up to
all the requirements, and he has
elements of strength that none of
the others mentioned for the nomi
nation. in my opinion, can claim.
The vote of his own State is i'm
portant, and outside of Mr.. Cor
man, there is no other man in the
party who would be reasonably
sure of carrying Maryland,
''In several of the big Middle
Western States no other Eastern
Democrat has anything like the
prestige of German. His name is
greeted with applause in Indiana,
Ohio and Illinois. and in Illinois
the Democratic party has a good
fig ghting chance in 1904. The con
servative voters and the substan-
tial business elements of our pop
ulation, independent of partisan
ship, think of Arthur P Gorman,
and will be gratified to hear that
his party has had the ssgaoity to
nominate him"

the registration is simply that the in

the registration is simply that the in
dividual may be enrolled among those
who have a chance in the drawing
which is to follow. In view Of the
fact that this incorrect statement has
been published the conditions of set
tIement may be briefly summarized.
Registration begins at Grand Forks
and Devils Lake on Aug. 8, and closes
at both places on Aug. 20. It makes
no difference where the registration Is
made. The settlers chances in one
place are exactly the same as In the
other. Each person registering will be
required to sign a card, which is re-
tanned by the officials. After the
registration closes, these cards will be
collected and placed together in a box
from which there will be drawn fifty
each day, until as many are drawn as
there are claims to be filed upon. Sue
cessful persons will be required to
make entry then at Devils Lake, but
it will be observed that this has moth
ing to do with registration.
There will be an interval of two
weeks between the last day Of filing
and the first day Of the drawing, and
it may be month before any partic-
ular applicants card is reached; Those
who live in the state will register and
return home until the time Of the
drawing, registering at Grand Forks
or Devils Lake, whichever place Is the
most convenient to them. Those from
distance will be obliged to stay
somewhere in the northwest to wait
for the drawing, and many of them
will prefer to remain at Grand Forks
where there are ample hotel accom-

Grand Forks, N. D., July 2G.-Prep-
arations have been completed for the
registration prior to the opening of
the Fort Totten reservation. On the
opening day, Aug. s, government Off
cials will be accessible at offices which
will be fitted up in the Central school
building for that purpose.
,Advices from the east and south in
dicate that there will be a large crowd
here at that time. An article bearing
a Devils Lake date, published in sew
eral twin city papers, is very mislead-
ing concerning the matter of registra-
ton, and unless the error is corrected,
many Of the landseekers will be put to
great deal Of trouble and inconveni-
ence. This article says:
"It is true that registration for a
few townships may be made sat Grand
Forks" and it is intimated that not
many persons will stop off here. AS
a matter of fact there is no such
thing in connection with this opening
as registration for a few townships"

brought about the sudden decision of
the head of the Gould roads to carry
into effect at once the long-cherished
plan of consolidation.

coal from Iowa points to Omaha and
other Missouri river points, and to
from IA to 20 cents a ton on nut and
slack coal. Nut-coal rates have prac-
tically been raised to the same price
charged on lump coal, while the ad-
vance on slack coal is to a higher
rate than formerly charged on steam
coal shipments.
It is claimed the advance is an un-
just discrimination against Iowa and
in favor Of the Pittsburg field, and
especially in it's application to the
Kansas City market. The southern
Iowa coal fields will be benefited in
a measure, it is claimed inasmuch as
fuel will remain the same in Kansas
City and st. Joseph, where they ship,
while the northern fields will suffer
in their shiprn ne11ts to Omaha, where
it is claimed the cost of operating the
packinghouses will be increased about
$4,000 a year.

amount Of benefit will accrue from the

realize that the better these visitors
are cared for the greater the benefit
to them.

has grounds in a short distance of

CIRCULATION
New Milford.
ANDREW G. BARNES AND HENRY H.
 POMEROY.

ANDREW G. BARNES AND HENRY H.
 POMEROY.
 The republican representatives elect to the Legislature from the town of New Milford, Andrew G. Barnes and Henry H. Pomeroy, are among the best known and most thoroughly rep resentative men of the town. Their names are we'll known not only in New Milford but through wide circle out side of that town. MT Barnes is now in his 64th year. He was born in Sher- man, but moved into New Milford when young man and has since made this town his home and. has identified himself with all the best interests of theIcOmmunity. For nearly 20 years MT Barnes followed the business of the drover, buying cattle in the north and west and selling them around New Milford and vicinity. He lives about two miles northerly from the village of New Milford, near the westerly end of Boardman's Bridge, and is one of the towns model farmers, being one of the largest growers of tobacco in the HOuSatOnic valley. His we'll kept barns and farms are a living proof of the fact that New England is not de- cadent, and that farming intelligently pursued is still a profitable occupation in old Connecticut. For several years MT Barnes has bought and packed a considerable amount of tobacco raised by his neighbors, and by his uniform honesty and fairness of dealing has made himself justly popular wherever known. He represented his town in the General Assembly of 1895, being the first republican elected to that position since the Civil War. He has h0on ii rSf Ca1onfn1on nf NnD Mi1for1 for many terms and has assisted in conducting the affairs of the town in prudent and judicious manner. The principal manufacturing industry of the town, The New Milford Hat Co.,, is indebted for it's present success and prosperity very largely to the financial aid and business advice given to it by MT Barnes when it was first starting, and he was for several years it's presi- dent. MT Pomeroy lives in the north ern part of the town, about seven miles from the village. He is in his 42d year and has for six years been associated with MT Barnes as one of the Selectmen of the town. His Sa- gacity and wisdom in conducting the important affairs of the town commit fact that he has always been elected by rousing majorities whenever he was a candidate. MT Pomeroy successfully manages two farms, which he owns, and also conducts quite a large busi- ness as a buyer and shipper of live stock. During the past year he has also had the oversight of the hardware and lumber business formerly conduct ed by bis late father, Charles Pom eroy, at Gaylordsville. As a boy he attended the Hopson seminary at Kent. He is member of St Peters lodge, F. & A. M., and of Ousatonic chapter, RIA. M. In recent years he has dealt extensively in live stock and cattle. MT Pomeroy is rattling good fellow personally and has host of friends, who stood by him Loyalty at the polls.
