FORAKER ON RESULT
SAYS Democrats Are Leadeflsss for the Cam
pagn Of 1908

Senator Foraker of Ohio. in speaking
OF result of election, says:
The results Of the election arr very
satisfactory. not only H. iar ~ Ohio Is
but throughout tlr whole
country. This is particularly true n to
New York. Had Hearst been elected. he
would in all probability have been the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency
in 1905 His defeat makes that impOs
-ible. This leaves MIR. Bryan the most
available man, but he Is no longer avail
able. II he had conteuted himself at
Madison Square Garden with a speech
returning thanks for his generous wei
come, giving an account of his trip
abroad. and il he wanted to touch ON
politics at all, had told OF finding steel
rails. sewing machines, machine tools.

abroad than at home, he would have
had united and enthusiastic party, aud
he would have been very dangerous
factor: but his governmental ownership
proposition divided the Democrats and
frightened Republicans to such IN extent
that while he may yet be the nominee,
he has no chance whatever OF an election.
"Had Hearst been successful. there II
hardly any telling what would have hap
pened; but with him defeated, not only
are the policies he advocated condemned,
but all who aided him in their advocacy
are condemned with them. Mr. Bryan
goes down with Mr. Hearst. be took
pains to proclaim his sympathy with Mr.
Hearst and to call on all good Democrats
to vote for Hearst. They are both de.
feated together
"What the Democratic party will now
do for n candidate for the Presidency no
body can tell Certain it is that neither
Hearst nor Bryan can command the
united support Of the Democratic party.
They have individually and Jointly
broken their followers over the political
wheel. There does not seem to be any
Democratic leader to take the place oi
either. and it il well that it is 20, for
until the Democratic party makes up its
mind to be safe and sane the good OF the
country requires that it should be kept

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON-
DENsED FORM.
Many Federal Projccts-Governmc
Spending Vast Sums of Money in
Black ILLUSTRATIONS improvements
Being Made by Uncle Sam.

A Deadwood dispatch says: The
federal government has a surprisingly
great number of interests and under
takings on foot at present In the
Black Hills. 1t Is not an exaggeration
to say that there is not another section
in the United States OF equal size
where the government is engaged in
so many and such various enterprises.
as no other section 100 miles long and
40 miles wide offers such a variety of
practical interests.
In Butte County the government is
engaged in gigantic irrigation project
which will require several years for
completion and will cost in the neigh
borhood of $2,600,0O0 This was un-
dertaken because the country needed
nothing but water in order to make
it very productive and valuable,
both to the agriculturist and to the
stockman who did not turn his stock
out on the range. IT is estimated that
200, acres of semi-arid land will
be thus reclaimed.
Recognizing also the Importance of
the Black Hills from mineral stand
point the government has established
at Deadwood a United States assay Of
fee, through which passes large
portion of the gold mined in the Black
Hills. A bill is now pending in con-
gress for the establishment Of mining
experimental stations in the different
mining districts. This bill has been
reported favorably, and If it is passed,
which now looks probable, will result
in the establishment of such a sta
ton in the Black Hills.
Looking towards the interests of
the sportsmen and also noting the adj
vantages of the Black Hills, United
States fish hatchery has been located
i'm Spearfsh. Trout is the sole fish han
died, and about 100000 are planted
yearly. This hatchery supplies not
only the Black Hills streams, but also
all parts Of the world. The yearly
shipment has reached as high as 33,-
sent as far as Wales.
The Black Hills forest reserve es-
tablished September 10, 1898, includes
practically all the timber area OF the
Black Hills and a small strip in Wyo-
ming. 1t covers 1,211 $50 acres and
has for its object the purpose of pre-
serving the living and growing timber,
promoting the younger growth and
regulating the water supply
At Hot Springs the government is
building a national sanitarium for SOL
diers, having decided upon this after
a careful study of the waters and the
general health giving atmosphere of
the place.
