The reclamation service officials are
greatly pleased ove the prospects of
increased sums being turned over to
them this year for reclamation projects

prised to learn he had underestimate
the net returns from the sale of public

A little while before the election, and
after he had been nominated by the
democrats for county coroner, H. G.
Welch of this city announced in an in
terview in The Republican that he
would decline the nomination, as "he
could not be a Christian and a politi-

the former" The matter was sent by
telegraph to the metropolitan papers,
finally reaching the great eastern pa
pers through the Associated Press. Re
porters for The Republican were asked
to send photographs of Mr.. WEIGH, but
these were not obtainable. Several
days ago Mr.. Welch received a letter
from an eastern writer concerning the
matter, and today the following dated

the utmost attention by the club men,
bers and being productive of an inter-

the opinion of the club that there are
many people who will be interested in
hearing the subjects discussed and a
suggestion that the pastors of the vari-
GUS churches be asked to mention the
matter to their various congregations
was adopted.
Rogers Tried to Dodge.
Mr.. Rogers, when called upon for his
"reminiscences, caused much amuse-
ment by e~ndeavoring to switch of to
the subject of the rae problem in the
south, but only succeeded in having
the time set for his "reminiscences de-
ferred to another meeting.
