His enemies say that he has lost
control of the general assembly in his
fight. and that now he has the alter
native of falling into the net and be-
coming a cog Of the great New YORK

away all party lines and making q
direct appeal to the voters. They al
lege there are the best of reasons to
believe that he will choose the latter
course, and it is this very fact, they
say, that promises to make him
national figure, for with presidential
fireworks being touched off in Ohio

the fact that Hughes presidential

Should the cons titution meet the views

state will elect a full complement of
officers, including a governor to sue

torial governor; five congressman and
two United States senators, the latter,
of course, to be elected by the first
state legislature. It is said to be prob
able, however, that the Oregon system
Of nomination of senators by popular
vote will become a part Of the state
constitution.

stands strong chance Of being en-
grated into the organic law Of the

Oklahoma one of the most up to date

WinslOw Notes.
From the Mail.

A gentleman in Winslow receiv- ed a letter a few days ago from his wife, living in La Junta, Colo rado, saying that all the fruit and early vegetables in that vi cinity had been killed by frosts and hail. The culture of fruits, vegetables and melons around La Junta, between there and Rocky Ford have within the past few years assumed vast prOpOr- tions and made a world wide reputation for the Arkansas Val lev. It has become the garden spot of Colorado. This has all been accomplished by irrigation. What was, comparatively short time ago, almost barren desert has been made to blossom like the rose, bringing thousands upon thousands of dollars to the happy possessors of land in that country. This brings home the thought: What might be accom- plished about Winslow If we had water on the land about here and especially between here and Clear Creek. There IS an abun- dance of water going to waste every year to irrigate this whole section and the possibilities are not vague either. A large DOT tion ot this land IS superior to that of the Arkansas Valley and the seasons much better. There the winters are severe and the summers extremely hot. Here there is no extremely hot or cold weather and the growing season longer. It does seem possible this could all be accomplished if some public spirited citizen would agitate the subject and keep the trail warm. That it will be done some time there is but little doubt. Let 1t be soon.
