]. Welland Jeffers, the Republican
nominee for treasurer, while young
man, is a Delta county product, having
resided in Delta from boyhood until
the present time. He is known to be
competent and well fitted for the office
for which he is candidate, having had
considerable experience in this office
during the past few years under N. E.
Clack, the present treasurer. If he is
elected this experience will enable him
to handle the books of Delta county
from the very beginning in way that
will insure the public against any
decentralization of the county's business
affairs. This office should always be
filled by one who is capable, honest and
one that can be thoroughly relied upon.
Welland Jeffers is just that kind of
man-and that is not all-the people
know it.

R. o. Wilmot, whom the Republicans
have seen fit to name as candidate
for commissioner from the 3rd district
is man well qualified to look after
county affairs. His home isnear Hotch-
kiss where he has resided for a good
many years, and has been engaged in
the cattle business. Every one in that
section is his friend and knows that
Ross Wilmot, as he is called, will do
his duty as public official, if elected.
Being an old resident he knows, in a
great measure, the possibilities and re-
sources and understands the local needs
of the county in which he lives. He is
prominent both as a cattleman and
ranchman and he will receive their
support.

The bids for the Gunnison tunnel are
in and Texss firm has agreed to put
the big hole through for just little
better than one million dollars. The
bid is about $500, 200 less than the
highest bid. If this bid secures the
work it will mean a saving of over a
half million to the farmers of Delta and
Montrose counties. At this rate it is
estimated that the shares will be nearer
$15 than $25 as estimated by the
government. However the authorities
oave stated from the beginning that
$25 was only put on as an outside esti-
mate.

If it had not been for such governors
as Alva Adams it would have never
been possible or necessary to use the
state militia to the extent it has been
used the past year. Just so long as he
could make his thousands and the peo-
pie could endure fanatical impositions
to which they were subjected they were
allowed to be over-ridden by these ex-
treme labor agitators. If Alva Adams
and such ilk had done their duty in the
years that have passed Governor Pea
body would have never had the op-
portunity to make campaign in this
state with claw and order" as the

Elias Wenger, the Republican candi-
date for county clerk, is native of
Ohio and came to this county and
settled near Eckert nearly ten years
ago where he has since resided on his
ranch. He has never been elected to
any office in Delta county and has never
asked for one until his party nominated
him by acclamation to fill the Office
of county clerk and recorder. He
has during the most trying times re-
manned true to his party and the great
principles which it represents. Being a
man that is true to his own principles he
can be depended on by the people to do
his whole duty as public official.

Privileged Guest.

OF a prominent lecturer Of London
an acquaintance says: "On one occa-
sion he was the guest Of friend Of
mine. busy Liverpool merchant, and
when the popular lecturer returned
from the hall he asked for all sorts
Of impossible dishes and liquid con-
coctions peculiar to abstainers-a de.
mand which somewhat upset the rou.
tine Of the household. When In bed
his nervous temperament was tried:
he could not bear the ticking Of the
clocks. so he paraded the house in the
small hours of the morning and
stopped them all. In consequence Of
this the servants had to be reused
by violent bell-ringing: but the guest
was not to be distressed. so he arose
again and ordered the servants back
to their rooms and locked them In and
then went back to bed"

The Republican party presents the
name of Miss Katherine L. Craig, a
thoroughly trained college woman,
whose life has been devoted solely to
the interests of public schools. Her
nomination was made at the initiative
of jefferson county, where she has al
ways resided and where her parents
were pioneers. Her association with
schools commenced early and her ex-
perience in actual teaching covers all
grades including rural as well as city
schools. The last years she has been a
teacher in Denver public schools, always
efficient, where she can remain, at her
pleasure. In addition to strictly teach
ing, Miss Craig has devoted her studies
to literature. Miss Craig has had such
exnerience in the school room and such
travel and study of men and things in
the world at large, as to ensure nteili-
eence and efficacy in the direction OF
state affairs, while her personal rela-
tions and acquaintances snd friends
are such as to commend her as prom
ising officer should the Republican
ticket be victorious. AS a Colorado
woman with the training, ambition and
discipline that Colorado life gives,
vieor and earnestness with good judg,
ment will be found in the state superin.

Standing In That Country.
The depletion of forests in the
United States is the cause for the re.
cent attention which has been given
to timber lands in Mexico. This
country has vast tracts Of valuable
timber which only await the advent
of the railroads to make them of
enormous commercial value. In the
southern rart Of the republic the hard
woods. such as mahogany. ebony and
cedar. have long been exploited and
the supply is growing very limited
within the access Of transportation
facilities. Large forests Of such tim.
bcr still exist, however. In the mere
remote sections. In the central and
northern parts Of the republic there
are large tracts of soft pine. oak and
miscellaneous varieties. especially Oil
the western slope of the central
mountain range, where there are as
yet almost no transportation facili.
ties. and along q wide strip of land
extending westward from the gulf

Commune with sleep!

Packed with sense of mystery
And brooding dream!

Than the magician morn transmotes:
And minstrelsies and melodies
From fairy lutes!

1t seems from latest reports that the
great Japanese victory near Mukden,
was not as great as at first reported
and that in many places the Russians
had more than held their own. The
fact that the Japs are clamoring for
intervention, at this time, on the eve
of what they claim is decisive victory
is certainly very significant. If Japan
is ever defeated it will be done almost
before the rest of the world knows it.

BIG POLITICAL FUNCTION
FOURTH WARD REPUBLICANS
READY TO HEAR JUDGE GROSS
CUP AT A BANQUET THIS EVEN

The Fourth Ward Republican clubs
banquet in the Wigwam tonight will
probably be the most elaborate social
function Of the year in local political
circles.
The banquet committee, consisting
of Colonel P. D. Boutell, Representa-
tive J. D. Shearer, S w. Melendy, e.
P. Sweet, Perry Starkweather, w. P.
Roberts, Everett Moon, Charles HUM
and Fred B. Wright, has made elab-
crate preparations for the entertain
ment of several hundred club members
and guests.
The long tables will be appropriately
decorated and the centerpiece will be
a huge elephant, emblematical Of the
G. o. P. In order that there may be
no lack Of hospitality 107 Of the club
members have been placed on the re-
ception committee.
In addition to the speech of the
evening, delivered on 1.-THE Reform of
Our Corporation Policy in the Inter
est Of Peopleizing Our Industries" by
Judge Grosscup of Chicago, there will
be short speeches by Governor s. r.
Van SAINT, former Congressman Frank
M. Eddy, and former State Auditor
Robert Dunn.
Because Judge Grosscup will leave
for Chicago on the 1880 train the
banquet will begin promptly at
o'clock.

All the mills Of the Pillsbury- Wash

One small local independent mill will
ar grinding -four tonight and by
Thursday a number of smaller mills
here and in the country will be under
way.
The advance in wheat yesterday and
to-day brought in shipping directions
for old orders freely, and some flour
will have to be made to fill such re-
quirements. There is some increase
in new business reported.
Millers say their position is still
largely one of inability to make, buy
ers see the situation.
The closing had some effect on
shipments yesterday, only 44,50O bar
rels going out. To-day's shipments
will be lighter.
From all parts of the country there
are reports Of the comparative scare
ity Of good milling wheat.

man was on change this morning. Re-
| ceipts of grain at Winnipeg have been

the Canadian northwest, is due in good

| have left. One-tenth of the old wheat,
Mr. Martin says, Is still unmarketed,
