The Tama Herald says it ''is quite
evident that lowa's first primary
under the new law will be battle
royal. With Allison and Cummir 6
contesting for the Senatorship, with
a host OF candidates for every other
elective position in the state, the re-
publican party in Iowa will have
the fight Of its life on its hands
and it may develop into fight fol
its life. So many things may hap
pen during the year that will inter
vene before the primary election is
held that it seems premature to un.
chain the dogs of partisanship at
this time, Moderate expression on
the part of the republican newspa
pers of the state is probably The
best service they can now render
their party"

Potasimite is new explosive per.
fected in Monterey, Mexico, and first
used with success upon the con-
struction of Mexican railroad
branch with wonderful results, for
it is pronounced safer, cheaper and
more powerful than dynamite. Those
explosives based upon, nitrogen pro-
duce gas that necessitates abandon
ing closed works, such as a mine or
tunnel, during the explosion. and
the laborers cannot return to work
for a long time thereafter. depend
ing upon the facility for carrying off
the gas. Potasimite is said to pro-
duce no noxious gas, the only pre-
caution necessary in its use being
that the workmen get out of the way
Of the flying particles Of blasted
rock.

Railroads of Early Days.

The history Of railroading in the
days when railroads were really
built as tramways for horse drawn
trains, when discussion as to the re-
spective merits of horses and To-
comotives as tractors waxed heated,
and finally when the first feeble
locomotives were built and run is
full of incidents that viewed from a
modern standpoint, appear ludicrous.
Not only were the happenings funny
but still more funny were the des-
criptions Of the various motive
powers, the contentious claims that
through the use of each would the
problems of transportation be for
ever solved and the written accounts
of happenings. 1t is amusing tc
