 IS THIS ABUsEq
 Mark Smith and his press opponents are bowling throughout the territory that the republican press and speakers are abusing him. What this abuse con sists of they have not the courage to state because what they call abuse in their statements is simply the reeita- ton of cold facts.
 Stating the truth cannot be counted abuse, and the truth is that Marcus A. Smiths influence in Washington as delegate or personal is nil, and has been for the last tewlve years. Why is this, you ask. Simply on account of his idiosyneraeies. Mark Smith was persona non grata at the White House during Cleveland last administration. He will not deny this. He was not on friendly terms with most of the heads of deuartments. Mir. Smith has like wise been compelled to do business at arm B length during the last eight years with the Roosevelt administration. He has been spoken of in the most unkind- ly terms by the president and h's Pri' vate secretary Loeb.
 It is a fact that Mir. Smith has boast. ed of his unpopularity with the speak CT of the house, MT. Cannon, with the chairman and the majority of the com mittee on territories of both house and senate, as well as some of the other committees. Why is this9 Mark can not truthfully deny any of the fore going statements. Then for what pur' pose is Mark Smith sent term after term as delegate to Washington! The foregoing are some of the reasons why Smith has accomplished SO little for the territory during all these years. The reason why New Mexico has re- ceived as much recognition during one term of congress as Arizona has n sey- en or eight is because of the personal and cordial relations obtaining between the administration and the delegate ot that territory. These are the facts which are being stated by public speak CTS and the press of the territory. This is what his political howlers call abuse If reciting cold facts concerning Mr. Smiths record as a public man and law yer is abusing him. then the republican press of the territory will no doubt plead guilty as well as the republican speakers of this campaign.

THE LEADERS TODAY.

day, there s no change in the positions of candidates in the Silver Belts big piano contest this morning. Miss Millie Williams still maintains first position, with six strong candidates closely fol. lowing.
 There will be big doings in contest circles this week and next. The Con- test Editor has formulated plans for the Phoenix trip, and he sincerely hopes that full dozen of the contestants win the pleasures of this journey to the ter. ritorial fair. It is going to be very easy for workers. But only for work CTS. The Contest Editor told you sun day morning that the struggle would be based upon new subscribers, and here is the scheme;
 To every contestant who secures l50 months of new subscribers the Silver Belt will pay all legitimate expense go- ing and coming and for a three.day so- iourn at the fair. This offer includes railroad fare, meals en route, hotel bills in Phoenix, admission to the grounds, and, if the contestants do really well, littie extra allowance may be made for toy balloons. red lemonade, peanuts, hot taffy and passes to the enclosed at | fractions. To make long story short, the contestants who win this trip will seceive the very best of treatment from start to finish, f the "Old man" is com pe.led to take week off and accom- pany them to the territorial capital.
 Now, if you don't understand what 'l50 months of new subscribers means, we'll explain, by putting it on the point system. For every subscriber secured paying one month in advance I we will score one point. If for two months two points. If for six months SIX points and so on up and down the list--one point for each months sub scriptioa paid in advance. A year g subscription will score you twelve points and they are not hard to get. You have the idea--now go to work. One hun dred and fifty points will win you the trip, and the more winners the better pleased will be the Silver Belt. The votes in the piano contest will be count ed just the same as at present. This offer makes it possible for candidates in the light figures to compete, no mat. ter what their present standing. All that is necessary is a little rustic and before you are aware of 1t you will have secured the necessary l50 points. The contest for the Phoenix trip is now on. It will close Friday night, Novem, Der 6, promptly at o'clock. On Sat urday the names of the winners will be announced and all arrangements will be made for the trip the following week New entries in the general contest can be made for this event.
 List of Candidates.

dollars from the National treasury.
As the fearless exponent OF the rights
of laboring men he has spoken at all
times in favor of measures designed
for the relief and the beterment of the
working men OF the country.
He has met laboring men almost
daily In conference and informal
meetings and in every instance he has
satisfied them that he Is the friend
OF the working man. the farmer and
the people who need protection from
the predatory practices of the trust
system.
His life In Reno and In Nevada,
where he has spent every week dur
ing the last 20 years not taken up
with his Congressional duties. is an
open book to those who know him,
and the charge that he is not con-

George A. Bartlett, candidate for
reelection to Congress on the Demo
cratic ticket, is the incumbent. He
was elected two years ago and has
served his first term with credit TO
himself and the State of Nevada.
AS to his record In Congress, Sam
uel Gompers, President OF the Ameri
can Federation of Labor. his written
that 1t Is eminently satisfactory to
the Leg .slative committee of that or
ganization and there Is no question
az to- his standing with employers and
with labor In Nevada.
He has been one the most active
and has been criticised more for that
than any other official or private act
of his career. An upholder OF law
and order in the State he was one OF
the first to declare that the Infamous
card system should not be foisted up
on the working men OF the State. He
also was one of the men who opposed
the reduction of wages OF miners
while the Federal troops were in the
State.
Bartlett has favored many measures
in Congress designed for the benefit
of Nevada mining operations and his
bin for the creation of Bureau OF
Mines was favorably considered b,
the House but failed of passage ir
the Senate.

4 Faithful Dog.

The following story of faithful
and devoted dog will be of interest to
many of our readers:
A gentleman bought a collie, which,
when taken home, soon made himself
one of the family, and assumed spe-
cial responsibilities in connection with
the youngest child, girl of years of
age.
1t happened one day in November
that the father was returning from a
drive, and, as he neared the house, he
noticed the dog in a pasture which
was separated from a stone wall from
the road. From behind this wall the
collie would spring up, bark, and then
jump down again, constantly repeat
ing it.
Leaving his horse and going to the
spot, he found his little girl seated on
a stone, with the collie wagging his
tail and keeping guard beside her.
In the light snow their path could
be plainly seen; and, as he traced 1t
back, he saw where the little girl had
walked several times around an open
we'll in the pasture. Very close to the
brink were the prints of the baby
shoes, but still closer on the edge of
the well were the tracks of the collie,
who had evidently kept between her
and the well We can imagine the
feelings of the father when he saw the
fidelity of this dumb creature walking
between the child and what might
have been terrible death.-Ex.

They are Pledged.

One of the Recorder republican ex-
changes claims that the people repu-
dated the local option plank in the
republican platform. In substantial
ton of this claim, Lemhi county is
given as one of the counties where
the candidates were not pledged to
this reform. The republican county
platform endorsed the state platform,
local option and all, and the writer is
creditably informed that both of the
members elect consider that they are
pledged to vote for local option. If
both Mr.. Shoup and Mr.. Shocks con-
slider that their endorsement of the
state platform was binding upon them,
and it is now understood that they do,
the people need have no fear that they
will betray their constituency upon
this pledge or any other.-Herald.

'gest exhibition of apples ever

largest exhibition of apples ever
made.
Inc states of the Pacific Northwest
and British Columbia will head in the
number of exhibits although nearly
every other state will have an exhibit
OF some kind. The exhibits range in
size from single apples to carload lots
and all the standard varieties of win
ter apples are included. Several car
loads of apples have already come to
spokane for exhibit and have been
placed in cold storage pending the
opening of the show. In all $4,000
square feet of floor space will be nee
essary to house the apples.
las an education for annie grow
ers, | am sure that nothing has ever
before been held of so much impor
lance as the national apple show"
said Manager Nicely, who is largely
responsible for the success thus far
OF the enterprise. Besides the sight
OF millions of apples grown in all
parts of the world, there will be many
other features Of interest to growers.
Demonstrations in the packing of ap-
pies by the students of the Oregon
Agricultural College and instructions
on spraying by experts will be valu-
able as well as interesting to every
one concerned with apple growing.
Inc fact that the Washington State
horticultural Society meets in Spo-
kane during the week of the apple
show is a further attraction, for it
will give apple growers who come
here an opportunity to hear the ad-
dresses by the most successful hor-
ticulturists of the country. We expect
to have fully 100000 people in attend
ance, all interested in some phase of
the apple industry. With favorable
conditions there ought to be a larger
attendance. The express. companies
have notified the management that a
refund of 500 will be made on all
apples sent for exhibit and returned
to owner after the show. Arrange
ments also have been made whereby
apples sent from Canada and returned,
there will be no duty on same.

Another Dry Farm Record.

Homer Pease, of Rockland, supplies
the latest evidence of the dry farming
advantages of this section of the state.
From ninety-one acres he threshed
2750 bushels, little more than thirty
bushels per acre. He had $50 bushels
of barley, 100 of rye, 600 of oats and
1880 of wheat. Fifteen acres OF his
wheat, the Gold Coin variety, yielded
$50 bushels, or fifty bushels per acre.
At the Farmers Day exhibit here he
was awarded the first prize on his
exhibit of wheat, which included four
varieties.
When an average of thirty bushels
can be taken from ninety acres it GER
tainly demonstrates the advantages of
dry farming. Mr.. Pease is not the only
man who has secured large yields.
Several fields have averaged forty
bushels, and few forty-fiYe. Some
small fields, like that of Mr.. Pease,
have given exceptionally heavy yields
from fifty to seventy-five bushels.
Land in crop for the first time, some
of 1t carelessly put in, yielded from
fifteen bushels up. Some entire com
munities averaged about twenty-five
bushels, which is far ahead of the
yields of the wheat growing states of
the Mississippi valley. With approx
imately half million acres of such
land that is being rapidly settled
there appears no reason why Ameri-
can Falls should not become the lar
gest wheat growing center in the
state within the next few years.

and continues for week, are rapidly
being closed. From the reports now
at hand, there will be fully eight mil
lion apples on display at Spokane dur

represent practically every apple
growing state In the United States,
and there will be several hundred ex-
hibits from British Columbia. Other
foreign countris to be represented are
England, Germany, Norway and ia
pan. Without doubt 1t will be the
