Sheridan Mill Resumes Operations.

Sheridan Lumber Company put 80
men to work yesterday morning, and
will probably increase the force by so
men soon. The company has just
completed one Of the most successful
flood dams in the state at the expense
OF about $4,000 Lack of logs and state
of lumber market and the uncertainty
ofelection made this plant idle for the
last six months. The management is
nowenthusiastic and believes the mar
ket will rapidly improve. The COM
pany has plenty of logs for several
months, and with the new dam work
ing perfectly, does not anticipate lack
Of logs. The management states that if
the market is not satisfactory the COM
pany will pile its cut aud not ship at
present. The capacity OF the mill is
100000 feet in ten hours. All the
machinery is new and up-to-date. The
holds several thousand acres
of as fine timber land as there is 10
the state, has nine miles OF hume and
the operation of the plant means much

The SILENT MAJORITY.

William, H. Taft, the exponent OF
Republican principles and the logical
successor to Roosevelt, has been
chosen presidentof the Tn tied States
by larger popular majority than
was anticipated by.even his most loyal
supporters and in his election are vim
dicated at once the principles Of the
party under whose administration the
United States has developed during
the past twelve years, and the charac-
ter Of the man into whose hands it has
been given to take up and carry for
ward the policies OF that administra-
tion.
And yet, mr. Taft's election was
brought about in the most quiet man
ner possible. Throughout the dull |
campaign, the majority of the voters,
the men who really placed Mr.. Taft
in the presidential chair, said little or
nothing and politicians and spell
binders and other figures Of the old
and rapidly vanishing school Of
politics. marvelled at the general
apathy"
Then came November 3. The
'apathetic" voters went to the polls
and cast their ballots and lo-the
general apathy had been nothing but
calm judicial undercur-ent Of
thought that had weighed and tested,
undeterred from its work by the eager
efforts Of excited politicians to "stir
up a little enthusiasm" and had
finally, without noise or ostentation,
rendered decision for what appeared /,
TO be for the best Interest Of the people
The day Of campaigns based on fire
works, spellbinders, red hot rallies ..
and the like, has probably passed
away forever and in its stead has :,
appeared the era Of campaigns based
on careful study by the voters, of :
the merits and dement's Of the prin- 7
ciples endorsed by either party a test :
ing at first hand and a tendency to i
refuse TO accept, without shTewd con-
sideration, the statements made by =,
the representatives OF either party. :,
The majority that controls the desti- =
nies Of the nation has become a silent :,
judicial majority, and y
with this change in the temperament
OF the voting men, the campaign Of
empty talk and vain but willy dema-
goguery, must give place to the cam
paign Of clear and logical argument. u
And perhaps ALSO with this assump- s
lion by the voting men, Of a judicial - =
position in regard to the claims Of the "
various parties, We have advanced :.
slight step nearer the political mill .

In many districts in these states, the
soil is deep enough, and the rainfall
heavy enough, to make the dry farm
ing system practicable. One of the
finest displays of agricultural products
at the recent Irrigation Congress in
Albuquerque was found in the dry
farming" department. One especially
fine exhibit of fruits, vegetables and
melons was shown from a county in
Colorado where the total rainfall for
IL months is actually less than Is
inches. Dry farming, 50 called, is no
longer an experiment. Once secuted
as an untried theory of visionaries
and dreamers, its practicability has
now been demonstrated to the salts
faction Of the most sceptical minds.
The dry farmers of Colorado and New
Mexico were on hand to explain their
methods to all visitors at the big Fair,
and they had "the goods" to back
their assertions.
