OF United States
An unusual sight presented itself at
the Knutsford hotel thil morning, at
breakfast, for three United States sem
stors sat at the same table together.
in company with former Warden Ar
ney Of the Idaho state prison. who Is
now private ssecretary 10 the senior
senator from Idaho. II was a chance
meeting. They were Senator c. u.
Clark OF Wyoming, Senator Fred Du-
bois OF Idaho and Senator w. 4, Clark
OF Montana. The Wyoming senator
has been here for several days but the
other two arrived this morning bright
and early. The manner Of meeting OF
the latter was somewhat amusing
Senator Dubois was crossing the rail-
road yard en- route 10 street car when
an apparent stranger with his hat
down over his eyes approached with
paper in his hand. and as though a
newsboy, asked II he did not want to
buy a morning poper. The Idaho
senator put his hand into his pocket
for the requisite nickel when he
thought he saw a rather familiar face
under the hat. and as the hat was lift
ed he recognised his colleague from
Wyoming. The two senators came up
TO the hotel together after exehanG-
ing the usual greetings. and had or
dered breakfast when IN walked SEM
ator w. A. Clark. He caught sight
OF two figures he has seen before, and
joined them. The four distinguished
touristsa ate simple breakfast and
then each had his individual duties OF
the day 10 attend 10. But while IN the
breakfast room. the trio OF senators
attracted considerable attention.
The Montana senator and his seere-
tAry Immediately repaired TO room 200,
although he generally has rarlor re-
served for his use. Busy" is a rather
insufficient term to use in describing
the senator's layout, for he found The
accumulated mails OF seven days all
stacked upon the tables In the large
sitting room OF his suite. He was
waited on by Chief Counsel Whitt-
more Of the San Pedro road. and the
pile of matter was Immediately at
lacked. Numerous callers showed up
at the hotel to call on the senator from
Montana but he was waterproof
against all such showers, and even the
call from a prominent member OF the
Judiciary was disregarded. In fact
bell calls from the office were passed
up. and no attention paid 20 them. The
senator did not leave his task until
lunch time, and It was necessary for !
lin to come down stairs.

questioning said that be thoroughly |

VIII be glad to see the line pushed
through Just as soon as there is an OPP
poriunity 20 build. The exact date OF

the market Is very short on rails and
railroad building material generally. |
hut there viii be no unnecessary de- |
lay. The senator reported the line %
Tonopah via Rhyolite as being pushed !
ahead as fast as II can be- built, and |
went over the surveyed line himself on
horseback. He Is thoroughly familiar
with the demands OF Nevada IN a rail- |
road way. and particularly The de-
mands In the southern and southeast |
ern sections, and anticipates a great |
business when the mining camps have /
been connected up. ....

OF the coming presidential campaign, |
Senator Clark replied that he believed |
Bryan would be the Democratic nom
