"By the presidents recent procla-

the national forests formerly known
as the Wallowa and Chesnimnus,
have been combined. Besides the
area included in them, approximate
ly 100000 acres of new lands have

constitutes the breaks of the Salmon

an altitude of about 1000 feet to one
OF 5000 feet at the summit of the

Jackson, Miss, March 13-The sem
atorial fight in Mississippi has COM
menced this week in earnest and may
be expected to continue at a lively
clip till the primaries are held in
August. The United States senator's
aie to be chosen by the legislature.
which will assemble next January, but
as Senator A. ]. McLaurin, one of the
incumbents, will be returned without
opposition, the contest will be for but
one toga, that which now adorns the
shoulders of Senator H. d. Money.
Senator Money could secure a re-elec-
ton without trouble, 1t is believed. but
his health has not been good of late
and he has consequently decided TO re-
tire. 3
Since Senator Money made his de-
cision known things political in Mis-
sissippi have been shaping for one of
the most exciting senatorial fights in
the history of the state. The rival
aspirants for the senate seat are Gov
crncr Vardaman and Representative
John Sharp Williams, the minority
leader in the house. 1t is impossible
at this early stage of the contest to
predict the winner with any degree
of certainty.
| Mr.. Williams has returned from
Washington and from all appearances
he intends to make the fight of his
life to succeed Money in the senate.
| 1t is no secret that he stands higher
with the better and more substantial
element of the people of Mississippi
than does Governor Vardaman. But
the latter has strong pull with the
masses. Mr.. Williams stands well
| with the people on the greater issues
| of the day, hut Governor Vardaman,
Oh the other hand, has kept closer at
home and has captured the popular
fancy by his public declarations re-
agrding those questions in which the
people of Mississippi are particularly
| interested. Governor Vardaman, more
over, Is ready speaker and may be
counted uoon 20 hold his own If he
accedes to Mr.. Williams request for
joint canvass. Whether the next sem
ator be Williams oil Vardaman, il is
already certain that the political pot
will boil at a lively rate in Mississippi
this summer.
