THE CAUCUS
NOMINEE
ELECTED

DENVER, Jan. 15.-Simon Guggen
helm was nominated for United
States Senator in both the senate
and house of representative this
morning. OF the seventy Republicans
who constitute the ejority of the
joint assembly sixty-eight voted for
Guggenheim, Senator Alexander yot-
ed for former Governor Mcdonald
and Representative Vincent .or
Frank Goudy.
The Democrats gave the compli-
mentary vote of the minority to
Chas S. Thomas. who had been
agreed upon in caucus as the com
promise candidate.
Tomorrow the legislature meets in
joint assembly, where the clerks of
both houses will read the results of
the ballot taken in each house.
This will show that Mr.. Guggenheim
was selected and will be in the ma
ture OF formal ratification.
In presenting the name of Guggen-
helm today Senator Bohn eulogized
the new senator's ability and said
"He will help our president, encour-
age honor and purity in all public
affairs, he will be true to the cardi-
nal principles of the Republican
party. He will never neglect the To-
cal interests of Colorado. He will be
fully alive to the mineral and sugar
industries OF our state and their pro-
lection. He will influence and en-
courage capital to come here and
build up enterprises. He has invest
ed heavily in the construst.An Of sug-
ar refineries within our borders and
he has caused others to do So"
After Mr.. Guggenheim's election
tomorrow 1t is understood here that
there will be an attack made upon
him when he goes to Washington to
take his seat, but there is little pos
sibility that it will amount to any
'hihS ouNc u iSW new WSpdpCi dilAtico.
The first gun was sounded yester-
day when a petition was filed with
the senate committee on elections
and privileges by Frederick Law
renee, special writer, who recited
what he alleged to be the facts con-
cerning Mr.. Guggenheim's election.
He claims that 1t was corrupt and
asks the senate to take steps to pre-
vent the Colorado Legislature from
electing Guggenheim today. Just
what the senate could do, even
should 1t pay any attention to the
petition, is matter OF conjecture.
Senator Burrows, chairman OF the
committee on privileges and cleo
tions, when asked about the matter,
said.
81 understand the Colorado legis-
lature has declined to take cogniz-
ance of Mr.. Law rence's charges.
This, to my mind, will settle the mat
ter SO far as the United States sen
ate is concerned"

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-A story that

a failure, as far as her speed was
concerned was sent out last night
from Norfolk, where the Connecti-
cuts rival, the Louisiana, was built
in private shipyard in competi-
tion with the workmen of the Brook

ing to note that this report of the
Connecticut being failure comes be-

As Easter is SO unusually early this
year, there is not the same necessity of
starting on the spring outfit the very
day that Lent commences as when that
season drags on we'll toward the end of
April. Nevertheless it is advisable to
get the entire spring and possibly the
summer outfit under way during the
six weeks which are more or less free
from social engagements. A spring
suit, hat and smart afternoon dress
for weddings and luncheons will of
course necessarily be on hand by the
beginning of Easter week. and Incl
dentally the coming months will be

will cost 1T in a century. No one will
deny this who is at all conyersant
with the facts And yet a few thou
sand dollars at this time, not under
federal restrictions as to- use, would
be worth more to our farmers than
many times such a sum used for pure
" research purposes. What the sta
ton needs at this time is money to
carry information now rendered avail
able through experiments already
made, into the various sections Of the
state; to demonstrate in many locali-
ties the knowledge gained through in
vestigation and research. The two.
should go hand In hand, but federal
funds are not available for. both pur-
poses.
The general feeling that closer and
more intimate work should be done is
apparent from the bills now and
heretofore introduced for the estab-
lishment Of more snbstations. A far
better and more economical work can
be done by the establish of doz-
en- or more demonstration farms, dis
5tributed with a view Of meeting every
possible agricultural condition.
These demonstrati farms would
exemplify, in as many localities, the
system of crop rotation, cultivation of
the soil, kind and quality Of seed
grain, etc, that from the best data at
hand will prove, all things considered,
most profitable for the locality. Should
mistaken ideas prevail with first ef-
forts, time will correct them and in a
few years the general agricultural
system will naturally conform to that

farms. These farms will tend to cor

DEAD WATER.
Eject Of This queer Marine Phenom.

Eject Of This queer Marine Phenom-
enon Upon ships speed.
One of the most curious marine phe-
nomena known to seamen Is that cali

which, without any visible cause,
makes vessel lose her speed and re-
fuse to answer her helm. The sailors
only definite knowledge Of its origin Is
that 1T exists solely where there is
surface layer Of fresh water resting
upon the salt waters Of the sea. Sew
eral explanations have been advanced
by the captains Of ships OF the effect Of
dead water, the commonest Of which is
that the two water layers move in diff
ferent directions. The true explana-
lion, however, recently offered by swe-
dish navigators and verified by mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation and direct expert
ment, is that in addition to the resist
ance waves at the surface the vessel
creates second line OF subaqueons
waves between the two strata OF wa
ter.
The experiment carried out to dem
onstrate the truth Of this theory was
an exceedingly pretty one. A large
plate glass tank was first mounted on
wooden frame. The tank was then
filed to certain depth with salt wa
ter, and a layer Of fresh water was
carefully poured on to the surface, so
that two separate water layers were
| obtained.
The salt water was blackened with
liquid Chinese ink before the water
layers were prepared, and In this way
| the different layers were made clearly
/ visible. a boat model was then towed
along the tank and a silhouette Of the
waves produced was obtained BY plac-
ing white screen at short distance
behind the tank. The waves were also
| photographed by iashlight, and the re-
4 suits showed conclusively that waves
actually were set up at the boundary
! line between the two liquids.
Further experiments were made to
verify the sudden loss Of speed due I'd
dead water. The boat model was
drawn across the tank and the towing
string suddenly slackened when the
boat was about halfway across. II
eases where the tank contained SAT-
water only the boat stopped gradually
moving some boat lengths after the
towing string had been slackened
When the tank contained a layer Of
fresh water resting on salt water, o1
the other hand, the boat slackenet
speed quite suddenly and moved only .
very short distance.
These experiments, carried out on :
small scale, prove conclusively that til,
difficulties encountered within deat
water zone are really due to the re
sistance experienced by the vessel II

some particular cases the influence o

House bill No 131, introduced by
Representative Dibley, is intended to-
provide state aid that will enable the
government experiment station to Coz
operate directly with farmers in order,
Ito establish systems Of crop rotation
adapted to varying local conditions.
The bill also provides for other special
work, all of which should prove of.
vital economic interest to farmers but
for which federal funds cannot be
used. Not least among the adyan-
t5tages sought through the agency of
this bill is the larger and more general
publication and distribution of infor-
nation bulletins, station reports, etc.,
among farmers The federal funds
must be expended for investigation
and research work and the four bull
letins required to be published annu-
ally necessarily are of such scientific
character that the average farmer
does not receive the help that addi-
j tional, explanatory and information
bulletins would afford him.

than demonstrate ton farm. When it,
is considered that a dozen demonstra.
ton farms can be operated about ais
cheaply as one substation, the wis
dom of the Dibley bill is made APP
parent
The government station and the two
substations now in operation can work
out all agricultural problems that will
arise. What we need is the means to-
demonstrate In many localities what.
we learn at these stations. Additional
substations would but duplicate the
work now being done at Fargo, Edge
ley, or Dickinson, except Ia the mat
ter of making irrigation experiments.
An irrigation substation would seem
advisable in the vicinity Of Williston,
where large irrigation projects are
now under way.
The most vital interest Of the state.
should not be subordinated to tenn.
lporary interests Our soil is fertile,
but its fertility may become exhaust
ed. Our farmers are prosperous, but
adverse conditions may arise. Wis.
dom, and not station interests, demand
that every necessary attention be Civ
EN- to the fountain Of all our pros
perity, that instead of running dry it
shall pour forth in ever increasing
volume the fruits of the earth for the
comfort and prosperity Of all. Other
approp riations perish with the using,
but appropriations made for improve
ments in farming and the demonstra-
ton OF better agricultural methods
will bless those that are now here and
all that shall live after us. The glory
OF North Dakota will come chiefly
from the improvement Of her farms
and from her farm homes.
Illinois appropriates $4,000 bienni-
ally for special experimentation for
instance, $4,000 for Improvement Of
corn; $4,000 for experiments in hor.
tlculture, etc, ETC., and the concensus
OF opinion there, among business men
and among farmers, is that no funds
are appropriated by. the legislature
that return such tremendous present
and constant returns to the state
Iowa does about as we'll and many
other states follow in the wake OF
Illinois. Those states, however, have
many other large interests and
sources Of wealth production aside
from agriculture. With us it is. differ
ent. Our soil is our sole reliance The
low average yield of our older wheat
fields already, should serve as warn
ing, and every state interest should Be
united to foster and improve our agri
cultural methods and enlarge oul
knowledge Of the soil and its use.
