Grass State Governor Wilson is understood to be. friendly toward Hughes, but it is believed that the fight will be between Taft and Fair- banks with the chances fayoring the latter.
 Fairbsnks ss Formidable.
 With Indiana behind him and with many people harbortng the dreadful thought that the country has had too much "President" for the past, few years, there is no doubt but Fairbanks is one of the most formidable figures in the race. Conservatism Is written all over him in box car letters and country would be given an occasional opportunity to forget the ,perplexing problems of state if the enIongated Indianian should be placed in the presidential chair. He has strong following among the rest cure" advo- cates everywhere.
 In Illinois one or two spasmodic ef- forts have been made by the packers of other candidates to make some im- press:on on the situation. but Cannon is solid with his people whenever any presidential wire pulling is done 1t may be depended upon that the hand of tne Speaker is in control. He will not get the Illinois delegation and when the National Convention ;s held and the anti-Taft, ti-administration forces find 1t necessary to combine upon some particular candidate. light ming is as likely to strike the Illinois man as any other in the race. Can non. by the way. made himself very strong in West Virginia by providing nice berths foy all the leading states men of that commonwealth when mak- ing his committee appointment In the House. and he will be a factor when the State Convention meets early in the new year. His protection ideas are also said to be popular with many of the faithful in that section.
 knox Boone Warnlng. Little is heard in this territory of the Knox boom and the impression Is growing that 1t has developed some kind of pedal affliction which inter. feres seriously With its running. How ever. he has a big state behind him and it is too early yet to say that any mar is out of the race.
 The holidays have been. full oi political activity. All of the candi. dates. near candidates and the friends of candidates whose duties are 1T Washington, have had an opportunity to return to their homes and get 1T touch with the dear people and, as q result of their combined labors, events will doubtless begin to move quickly after the new year is ushered in. The next eight weeks will probably deter, mine the fate of Taft ana when hii position on the political checkerboart is def.nately known the general situa. ton will doubtless become less com plex.

 Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith presents a statement Of facts in oppo- sltion to this view. not only to show that discrimination was practiced. but that 1t was practiced with the Standard oil Company and the Chicago and Alton Railroad.

Goldheld, New. Dec. 29.-The an- nouncement made here today that Gov ernor Sparks had telegraphed word to President Roosevelt that he will call the Nevada Legislature together in special session as soon as possible, has put an entirely new aspect upon the labor situation here,

It Is not at all certain. however. that the Legislature will act in connection with the wishes of Governor Sparks. but the calling of the special session will have the effect of keeping Federal troops in Goldheld for five weeks and will make the possibility of serious trouble more remote,

USING MUCH CONCRETE.
The Canal Record shows Some vers
 Remarkable Figures.


 Washington. Dec. 29.-The engineers. of the Panama canal are dealing in vast figures these days and the canal record just received. conveys in a graphic manner. an idea of the magnir tude of the work to be done upon the locks of the canal.
 It is stated. for instance. that the arnount of concrete to he used in build ing these locks would suffice to con- struct eight-room city houses of the generous size of thirty by thirty feet with two stories and basement and with concrete floors and with con crete roof to the number of 22.S42. Ai- lowing each of these houses seventy- five foot lot. they would make com tinuous street from New York to Phii-l adelphla, with enough houses left over to make a row on one side Of the street from Philadelphia to Washing- ton.
 The houses would furnish suburban homes for 120 900 people. or according to city standards would house popu-i lation equal to that of the city of Min neapolis.
