With the view to polling the full

aud the closing OF the campaign will

est from now until mex tuesday,.
The party leaders are anxious To
get out the full registered vote for
several reasons. Next year the state

sentation from this county will be
based upon the vote of next Tuesday.
This being tho cnsc the leaders are
going TO exert their best efforts to poll
every vote.
The only contest is for coonty treas.

the feeling that the regular nominee
will be elected with ease will cause
the vote TO fall short of what It real
ly should be. The state convention rep
iesentation is very important one
and Democratic voters cannot afford
to allow the county to fall OFF in rep.
resentation simply because of the feel

The public's appreciation of high

been demonstrated by the remarkable
success of Roselle Knott, the well
known actress, who is touring the
West in her new play, 'Alice-Sit-By-
The-Fire," by j. NJ. Barrie, author Of
"Peter Pan" "The Little Minister -
and numerous other successes, and
which ran for one year at the Criter-
ion theatre, New York. The play Is
exceeding interesting, and brims over
with excellent comedy and at times
becomes quite dramatic. The com
pany associated with Miss Knott is
nne of exceptional excellence, includ-
ing Mr.. Eric Blind. Mr.. Robinson
Newholdl Miss Grace Gibbons, and
others Of New York reputation. The
production is the same which marked
its initial performance in New York,
and will be given in its entirety at

THINKS THIS CITY FAVORED
More Charged for Hauling Honey
From Delta East Than
From Here.

The first protest under the new
railroad rate law has been filed with
Governor Buchtel and will be taken
up by the commission as soon as IT
is organized for business.
The protest comes from a man at
Cass Lake, Minnesota, whose name is
Withheld, as the governor decided II
would not be advisable to disclose
the identity of the shipper in a case
of this kind.
The Denver and Rio Grande is the
railway against which the first COM
plant Is lodged. In his communica-
ton to Governor Buchtel the shipper
says he was charged S1.30 on 13O
pounds of honey from Delta to Pu-
eblo, when the rate from Grand juno
ton to Minneapolis for this consign-
ment. as per schedule. was only S1.77
per hundred pounds.
The shipper says he demonstrated
with the road. but could get no re-
dress, and asks the governor TO in
vestigate the matter. His letter fol-
lows:
