give him any sort of support, while
II Ayres should be named, the Scott
people will not break their necks in
order to elect him; that the nOmina.
will result in a loss of votes. This
situation they urge. brings Mr.. Cor.
don to the front as a compromise
candidate who would be supported by
both sides, and his nomination would
eliminate the factional fight. So far
as the Republicans are concerned,
this bit of reasoning is wholly salts
factory. They are entirely Indifferent
as to the indentity of the Democratic
candidate, feeling absolutely sure
that whoever is named will be defeat
ed. Meantime the astute Mr.. Gordon
continues his still hunt. waging his
campaign on strictly Chesterfieldan
principles, yet never losing sight Of
the main issue. He made visit TO
Kendall this week, and appeared to be
in happy frame of mind on his re-
turn.
Charles Easel, of Kendall, the DEM
ocratic orator who so ably expoundS
the doctrine of Socialism, will be one
of the Democratic candidates for the
house. He received his O. X from
''h"' iopl Otout tllS WcCh,
and that is supposed to settle the
whole matter. The result is no sur
prise. as it had been supposed all
along that Col. Stout would give the
Kendall man the place.
1t begins to look as though City
Attorney II. l.. Dekalb would receive
the Democratic nomination for state
senator without opposition. No direct
word has been received from Hon.
b. c. White, but it is still given out
that he would prefer the nomination
for county commissioner, with the
promise of the chairmanship of that
body in the event that it is controlled
by the Democrats, than the nomination
for state senator. There is plenty of
time for Mr.. White to get into the
game, however. as the baron will
stand aside should the sheep commits
sioner express a desire to go to Helena
as a legislator.
John C. Huntoon has not fully de-
cided to ask for the nomination for
state senator on the Republican tick
ct. but his admirers feel satisfied that
II it Is rendered to him he cannot de-
cline it, and it looks very much as
though he would be named.

Assessor Frank Pick who attended
the meetingof the Democratic state
committee at Butte Monday, returned
home Wednesday night He held
James Weaver's proxy, and was in fav-
or of Helena as the place for hold
ing the state convention, but Butte
won out. and the convention will be
held there September 20, 10 days lat
er than the Republican convention
at Helena.
Under the apportionment decided
upon, the convention will be composed
OF 595 delegates. This is on the bas-
is of one delegate for each 20 votes
cast for Norris for lieutenant govern
or. with six delegates at large. from
each county. Under this apportionment,
Fergus county will have 21 delegates.
Following the result of the meet
ing OF the Democratic state commit
tee. the county convention of that
party has been called to meet here
September Is, which is just week
after the Republican convention is
held The chief interest on the Demo-
cratic side is still centered in the
fight for the nomination for county
attorney, and it is difficult to figure
out who is really in the lead. Sup
porters of Roy r. Ayres and David
Scott are hard at work, and each side
has prepared a slate for tomorrow's S
primaries. 1t looks as though the win

merce commission. 1t is section four
of the bill which confers power on the

in a certain instance. The report
stated in this connection that it is
Just to the commission to state that
none of it's members think it wise
that authority to take the Initiative in
rate making should be conferred upon
it. It's Jurisdiction is confined to
cases where complaint had been made,
when it is authorized to declare what
shall be "just and reasonable and
fairly remunerative rate or rates,
charge or charges, to be thereafter
preserved in such cases as the maxi
mum to be charged; and what regula-
ticn or practice in respect to such
transportation is just and fair and
reasonable thereafter to be followed,
and to make an order that the carrier
shall cease and desist from such viola
ton to the extend to which the COM
mission finds the same to exist and
shall not thereafter publish, demand
or collect any rate or charge for such
transportation in excess of the maxi
mum rate or charge so prescribed,
and shall conform to the regulation
or practice so prescribed"
A penalty of $4,000 is provided for
violation or disobedience or any or
der of the commission. Authority is
gwen the commission to prescribe
the exact manner in which reports
shall be made by common carriers
with a penalty provision against non
railroads are to keep their accounts.
Access may be had at all times to
the books of carriers. A fine of So
900 or Imprisonment for TWO years is
the penalty provided for refusal to al
low experts Of the commission to ex-
anime the books of sucn carrier. The
bill provides for two additional mem
bers of the commission, the term of
service for a commissioner being in
creased to seven years and the salary
to $4,000.
The house passed the urgent de-
ficiency appropriation bill carrying
SIS, Sic, LOB, incorporated in which is a
provision that the eight-hour day law

terminus oi the Nacolari railroad
 The canyon in which the party is now running line would take thc route into the Nacozari canyon between Nacozad and Cumpas Going west and north this route could reach the Nacozari line at Fronteras or it could swing farther west and go to Cananea over fairly good ground.
 This is the third route over which Southern Pacific surveyors have gone during the last year, indicating a desire to find a favor- able line south into Mexico from the American border. The first line surveyed went south from the San Bernardino ranch eighteen miles east of Douglas. It is learn ed on good authority that this route was found very expensive one and hardly practicable.
 Nearly two months ago several surveying parties went south through Douglas, and went to Moe tezuma and started survey north form that point. Another stopped at Nacozari and started a route south from that point and went down the canyon to Cumpas and from there south until they met the party coming north from Moc- tezuma.
 The appearance of the surveying party west of Nacozari might be looked upon as confrmatory of the report recently given out by a railroad man at Nogales to the effect that the Southern Pacific main line through Sonora would be from Benson.
