ANOTHER OLD ALBION BOY TO THE
FRONT.
Election of Alva Adams as Governor of
Colorado.

Election of Alya ADAMS as Governor OF
Colorado.
The election of Hon. Alva Adams as
governor of Colorado for the third time,
in this season of republican landslides,
when he was the only nominee on the
democratic ticket to pull through, is a
personal honor of a popular man whom
the people believe will bring peace to
Colorado His triumph at the polls was
the result of combination of all classes
for the support of man who should
govern with frmness and conserva-
tism. Roosevelt's plurality in Col
orado was 1878. Most of the republi-
can state ticket ran almost even with
the president. But not so with Governor
PEABODY, who fell 25,434 votes behind.
With the support of all classes behind
him as a safe" candidate, Adams goes
in his third term as chief executive of
Colorado with a plurality of nearly
10000 He ran more than $4,000 votes
ahead of his ticket.
Alva Adams of Pueblo was born in
Mineral Point, Wis, fifty-four years ago,
and has lived in Colorado since 1871. He
has the record of highly successful
merchant and is independently rich, be.
ing principal owner of the Tom Boy, one
of the greatest gold mines in operation.
He received his education in the COM
mon schools and at the Albion academy,
but frequently astonishes the public
with his knowledge of the classics and is
said to have the best classic library in
the state. He is magnetic and stands
we'll with the mechanic and millionaire.
He is an enthusiastic believer in woman
suffrage and speaks at every important
convention.
Twice already he has been honored
with the office of governor. At the close
of his first term in 1882 he declined re-
nomination, but in 1897 he was given the
Office again and stepped into power with
the great strike at Deadwood as his her
itage from Governor Albert w. McIntire.
His diplomacy led to settlement with
out recourse to the extreme measures
symbolized by the term Peabodyism.
His record during his second admins
tration led the unions to support him
eagerly when he was nominated this
year, and the business interests rallied
as quickly to his support His popu-
larity and the faith the voters repose in
him as just and conservative official is
seen in the large majority with which he
defeated Governor Peabody.

Thoroughbred Stock Farm

A representative of this paper was out
to the {. B. Earle stock farm just south
of this city a few days ago, and was
shown about by the genial manager, Mr..
J. r. Ressler. 1t is thoroughbred and
modern stock farm in every sense of the
word. All modern feeding racks and
watering troughs are in use. The cattle
are all thoroughbred Herefords, and the
swine Poland China. Mr.. Earle just
shipped 800 lambs from Montana to be
wintered. There is marked difference
between the farms of Barron county to-
day and ten years ago. = Rice Lake

NEW INTERIOR RATES.
o. r. & N. and Short Line VIII Give
Portland Merchants Advantage.

Portland. Nov. 14.-New and lower
rates from Portland to interior Idaho
points are announced by the o. r. &
N. Co., thus granting the much de-
sired distributive freight rates which
have been sought for some time by
merchants of the Northwest.
About December the new tariffs
will go into effect, and the news will
be gratifying to Portland shippers
who have hitherto been working at
a disadvantage in the interior against
merchants of Boise, Salt Lake, Spo-
kane, and even San Francisco, who
have been given more favorable rates
to reach that territory. The new
rates will mean that Portland jobbers
will probably get more business from
Southern Idaho.
The new tariff will enable the
Portland dealers. in groceries and
hardware especially, to compete with
merchants of other cities on an equal
freight rate, and a large share of the
business, which has been lost of late
years because of the rate offered by
the o. r. & N. Co., will again come
to Portland. The reductions are ma
terial and have been clamored for by
Portland jobbers for some time.

San Francisco. Cal. Nov. 14.-The
twenty-fourth annual convention OF
the American Federation of Labor
which has opened in this city today
and which will continue probably for
two weeks, is the largest gathering in
point Of numbers in the history of the
big organization.
President Samuel Gompers deliv-
cred his annual address to the dele
gates and Secretary Frank Morrison
and Treasurer John B. Lennon pre-
sented their reports for the past IL
months A rousing welcome was
given TO William Abraham, N. p, and
J. wignal, the two fraternal delegates
from the British Trades Union con-
gress
The address of President Gompers
was listened to with close attention.
1t dealt with considerable length with
the progress of the labor movement
during the last year, reviewing the
legislative matters Of Importance to
labor interests and making reference
"NAAHAc Va hAAC 1NcW tuHEhnQ COI-
ton spinners, the Colorado labor trou-
bles and other conflicts and disagree
ments between employers and en-
ployees- Reference was made also
to the result OF the late election and
TO the important part which organ
lied labor had taken IN the campaign.
Numerous recommendations were
made in regard to safeguarding the
welfare of the federation and its af-
filiated bodies and increasing their
strength and influence.
Though the proceedings today were
largely of routine character indica-
fions were not lacking that the con-
vention has some lively debates be-
Tore It, The socialistic tendencies on
the part Of considerable element of
the federation membership is bound
10 manifest itself In one form or an
other, and 1t 10 not Improbable that
1t will oppose the reelection Of Pres
1neit Gompers, who has never taken
any pains to conceal his hostility to
the socialtste movement. Another
matter that is likely to precipitate a
lively discussion is the proposition of
President Michael Donnelly of the
packing house employees to take steps
to spread the Chinese exclusion act so
that 1t will cover Japanese.

Lively Interest In Livestock Show OF
Lewis and Clark Exposition
Prizes Aggregating $4,000 to Be
Distributed.

Portland, Nov. 14.-Stockraisers,
not only over the whole United States,
but also in Canada and Mexico, are
displaying lively interest in the big
livestock contest which is to be a feat
ure of the Lewis and Clark fair at
Portland next year.
Richard Scott, of the Oregon state
commission, who has just returned
from St. Louis, where he went in the
interests of next years stock display
at the Centennial, says that he found
the stockmen there enthusiastic about
the fair, and that he feels confident
htat the number of exhibitors next
summer will be large.
The management of the exposition
has appropriated a $4,000 fund to
be distributed as prizes and premiums,
and this fact has been responsible to
large extent, for the interest shown
by owners of various kinds of stock.
The apportionment of the $4,000
fund, as recently made by the exec
utiye committee is as follows:

At the meeting last Monday it was
arranged to have a joint meeting with
the sheep association at Long Creek
on December ~, on which date steps
will be taken to protect the range in
that part of Grant county against
outside sheep. The two associations
include a large number of cattle men
and sheepmen in the north part OF
the county, and large attendance at
the joint meeting is expected.

sHRINKAGE OF WooLs.
Oregon Produced Best Crop In the
History of the State In 1904.

The shrinkage of the territorial
woods this year are varying consider
ably, says the American Shepherds
Bulletin. The Utahs on the average
are heavier this year than last by
about per cent The Wyomings
are heavier by 3 per cent.
The Montanas are said to be
lighter judging from those which
have thus far been seen and exam
ined. Many of them are said to be
in better condition also than last
year. The early Arizonas we're heav-
ier, as well as defective, and were
bought at a lower grease price than
last year, The Colorados are little
heavier by or per cent.
The Oregons are reported to be
lighter, and in far better condition
this year. In fact, some claim, that
1t is doubtful II a better clip was
ever grown in the state Of Oregon.
The Idaho woods are said to be 3
or per cent lighter this year than
they were last. 1t is doubtful, how
ever, If the growers in the sectiops
mentioned were aware of these facts
as to comparative shrinkage before
their woods had been contracted for
or sold. The Idahos especially are
said to be in very light and in good
condition as compared with those OF
last year taken as a whole. Such be-
ing the case. in view of the grease
prices which were paid for many ol
the heavier woods from other sections
If the latter were actually worth
what they brought, the Idahos should
have commanded higher prices.
