CONGRESSMAN MARTIN authorized
the formal announcement Tuesday
that be would be candidate for the
United States senate TO succeed the
Hon. Robert j. Gamble on the expira-
tion OF the latter's term. The an
nouncement is not unexpected as Mr..
Martins practical candidacy has been
conceded for some time. This Is nat
urally Mr.. CANDLES territory and Mr..
Martin will hardly make an active
effort 10 enlist the southeastern coun-
ties in his behalf. He will have the
solid and enthusiastic support OF the
Hills and will no doubt make lively
campaign throughout the larger part
of the state. He is able, clean, enthu-
siastic, good mixer and a good
campaigner. He has made an admira-
BILE record in the lower house and, In
our opinion, can we'll afford to remain
there number of terms yet. Senator
Gamble has filled his position with
great credit to himself and satisfaction
to his constituents and Ia q candidate
for denomination. We believe Mr..
Martin is man OF the senatorial cali
ber all right, but can see no sufficient
reason for the state TO dispense with
Mr.. Candles services at this stage OF
the game. Mr.. Martin is growing
man and can afford to wait.

The summary of the agricultural and
stock products of Union county. as re-
ceived from the recent census and pub
lished today on our fifth page, is GER
tainly gratifying exhibit. Nearly
three and one-half million bushels OF
corn, of value approximating mill
lion and a half dollars, is the record Of
a single crop for single year! The
fruit and live stock industries also
show substantial proportions and
growth. And the best of 1t Is the
adaptabilitY of our soil and situation Is
tar from fully developed, so that still
greater and more satisfactory growth
in these industries may be confidently
looked for In the future. Ia the face
of these figures and prospe els every cit
izen OF old Union is certainiy entitled
to good deal OF self complacency and
satisfaction.

BOARD OF PARDoNs.
will Take Up Case of Antoine Woode
in September.

Denver. Colo, Aug. G.-Antone
Woode, the boy murderer. was not par
doned Friday by the state board at its
monthly session, but his cass was put
back on the list of applications and
will be considered again in September.
'Woode's case was considered last
June. The rule is that another appli-
cation may not be made for year, but
but the board has consented to put 1t
back on the list. Great interest has
been taken in the case by certain
newspapers and the assertion was
made that he would be pardoned at
this meeting.
The board had long list of appll-
cations and was in session for four
hours. The fight of the day was made
in the case of E. e. Brooks, who is
serving a sentence of sixteen years for
the killing of his father-in-law in 1899.
The pardon was fought before the
board by Attorney H. v. Benson, rep
resenting the family of the dead man.
e. X. Laurie made a plea for Brooks.
The application was denied.
Michael j. Brennan was granted a
pardon from the county jail. He was
convicted October 20, 1904, of involun-
tary manslaughter for the killing of a
Chinaman whom he struck with a
brick. He had only a short time to
serve.
All of the other applications were
denied with the exception of the fol-
lowing: Arthur Peckham, sentenced
from Morgan county to term of five
to six years for criminal assault, re-
,duced to one and one-half to FIVE years.
Will be released in about thirty days.
Arthur S. Bradley, sentenced from
Denver county for embezzlement, term
reduced from two to five years to one
and one-half to five years.
Spencer v. Dicks. sentenced from
Douglas county in 1900 to term of
twenty years for murder; sentence
'commuted to seven straight years.

mas county to a term of ten months.

Denver. Aug. S--A Republican spe-
cial from Canon City says: In pur-
suance of instructions from Secretary
Wilson of the Department of Agricul-
ture, w. ]. Morrill, of the United States
Forest Service has completed an In
spection of the highlands along the top
OF the Royal Gorge to have them set
apart as national park, similar in OBJ
ject and purpose to the Yosemite and
Yellowstone parks.
Mr.. Morrill, made complete survey
of the territory and will recommend
the dedication of practically all OF
township Is south. range IL west of
the sixth principal meridian, as a
public park for the free use for the
people of the United States. The strip
to be reserved begins a mile and a
quarter west of Canon City and ex-
tends on both sides of the Arkansas
river westward nearly to Parkdale.
From north to south the reservation
will extend four and a half miles and
will include within its boundaries Ere

rather quiet, ms is usually the case az
this season of the year. Receipts
were about the same as the week be-
fore. but some 1900 head short OF
arrivals of year ago. Quality was
sery fair on the average, but nothing
choice offered. There was q very
fair demand for the good kinds and
prices are little stronger than .
week ago. There Is. however, no very
material improvement In the situa-
lion. Right good beef steers have
been scarce. and outside of a few
loads of contract stun packers have
been able to get very few.
The tone of the feeder and stocher
market has been better this week.
and indications are that the demand
will improve rapidly from now on,
A very large corn crop is practically
assured. and the trade is looking for
big demand this fall with prices
right around where they were last
year.
The hog market advanced about
30 cents last week and tops at s5.S5
are at the high point of the year. and
higher than they have been on this
market since last September. The
demand is very fair.
The trade in sheep has been very
quiet and conditions about the same
they We're week ago. The demand
for feeders on tie range is excellent
but very few coming this way as yet

CONFERENCE BUILDING
WHERE PEACE ENJOYS MEET.
Elaborate Preparations Made at Ports
e mouth, N. H.-Navai Stores Build
ing Remodeled for Conferences.

Portsmouth, N H, Aug. 0.-After
a day of activity in the navy yard the
finishing touches in preparation for
the peace conference were made late
this afternoon and everything is now
In readiness both in the inside and the
outside OF the large new naval stores
building where the plenipotentiaries
are to be received and where they are
to hold daily sessions.
The- second story of the building is
TO be occupied by the peace mission.
The conference room is in the center
OF the building over the main en-
trance. Adjoining it is a suite OF
three spacious rooms which have been
assigned to the japanese envoys. On
the other side is reception room dedi-
Gated to the Representatives OF the
United States government Beyond
this is suite of three rooms for the
use of the Russian mission.
On either. side of the corridor which
divides the building are large dining
rooms. where midday luncheons will.
be served separately to the respective
missions. and in the eastern dining
room Admiral Mead. commandant OF
the navy yard. will serve banquet to
the envoys, their suites and about
sixty invited guests on their arrival.
Two fireproof rooms have been fitted
up for the storage of documents.
The conference room is imposingly
furnished. A mammoth table in the
center is surrounded by huge chairs
beautifully upholstered in black
leather. On the floor is a costly Rus
sian rug. At either end of the room
are mahogany tables adopted for cier.
ical work. The walls of the room are
draped with flags used by the navy in
making the International code signals
These flags relieve the barren walls in
all the rooms and are the only decora-
tions- Handsome desks, chairs and ta-
bles make all of the rooms appear in
elegant dignity. Persian rugs are laid
upon the floors.
1t cost the United States govern
.ment $4,000 to equip the quarters for
the conference. Without the building
all appearance of newness has been
removed. The borders of the newly
laid cement walk have been sod6ed
and the gravel walk leading to the
landing. 1000 feet away, has been put
in repair. Everything at the landing
stage has been made ship-shape.
Every available room in the hotel
where the missions are to be quar-
tered has been taken. The city is
filled with small army of newspaper
correspondents representing. in add
'tion to the press associations and the
great dailfes of the United States, jour
mails in Europe and Japan.
