me up with a set of views. Is that the
idea? Seems to me you're the sort of
man I'm looking for"
The other smilingly shook his head.
II wouldn't dare fix up a United
States senator with a set Of views" he
said. II only mean that / think what
a man is is important. I've been do
ing Washington for & number of years.
I've had an exceptional opportunity to
see how politics work. l don't be-
lieve in party politics. L don't believe
in parties, but 1 do believe in men,"
Langdon nodded approvingly, then a
twinkle shone in his eyes.
1--WE don't believe in parties in Mis-
sissippi," he drawled. We've only
one-the Democratic party-and a few
kickers."
Haines grinned broadly at this de-
scription Of southern politics.
"What was this you were saying
about national politics?" continued the
Mississippian. I'm u beginner, you
know, and Pm always ready to learn"
"This is a new thing-a reporter
teaching a senator politics. laughed
Haines.
Senator Langdon Joined in the merri-
ment.
81 reckon reporters could teach Unit
ed States senators lots Of things, Mr..
uaines, if the senators had sense
enough to go to school. Now, l come
up here on a platform the chief prin-
ciple Of which is the naval base for
the gulf. Now, how are we going to
put that through? My state wants it,"
you're probably sure it will be q
wonderful thing for the country and
the SOUTH" suggested Haines.
"Of course"
"But why do you think most Of the
congressman and senators will vote
for it,"
The %southerner took off his hat, lean
ed back and gazed across the lobby
thoughtfully.
Seems to me the benefit to the south
and country would be sufficient reason,
MI. Haines," he finally replied.
The newspaper mans brain worked
rapidly. Going over the entire con-
versaton with Langdon and what he
had seen Of him, he was certain that
the Mississippian believed what he
said-that, moreover, the belief was
deeply rooted. His long newspaper
training had educated Haines in the
ways Of men. their actions and mental
processes - what naturally to expect
from a given set Of circumstances. he
felt a growing regard. an affection, for
this unassuming old man before him,
who did not know and probably would
be slow to understand the hypocrisy,
the cunning trickery of lawmakers
who unmake laws.
Sufficient reason for you, senator"
Haines added. "You have not been in
politics very long. have you3" he

AS he stood before his two new
found friends-for such Haines now
considered the Mississipian and his
daughter-he could not suppress feel
ings Of surprise tinged with uncertain
ty. He had, like other newspaper men,
received offers Of employment from
politicians who desired to increase
their influence with the press. Some
times the salary offered had been large,
the work so light that the reporter
could earn" the money and yet retain
his newspaper position, a scantily dis
guised species of bribery, which had
wrecked the careers of several promis-
ing young reporters well known to
Haines, young men who had been thus
led into selling their columns by I'M
scrupulous machine dictators-
Haines knew that the Mississipplan
had no Interior purpose to serve in his
offer, yet he must have time to think
over the proposal.
Il thank you, SENATOR" be finally
said. 81 appreciate the opportunity,
coming from you, but I've never
thought Of giving up the newspaper
profession. It's a fascinating career.
one that l am too fond Of to leave"
Langdon started to reply, when a de-
l%ightfully modulated southern voice in
terrupted:
Father, I've been out with Mrs.
Spangler to look for some other rooms.
l don't like this hotel. and l found some
that 1 do like"
Haines turned to see a handsomely
gowned young woma who had the
stamp of a patrician's daughter in her
bearing and her countenance-a bru-
nette, with delicate features, though
determination shone in her eyes and
appeared in the self contained poise of
her head. She was the imperious type
of beauty and suggested to HaineS the
! dry point etchings Of Paul Helleu. He
instinctively conceived her to be in
tensely ambitious, and Of this Haines
was soon to have unexpected evidence.
Gazing at her with a ems of a grow
ing admiration, Haines gave an invol-
untary start as Senator Langdon
spoke:
"My daughter, Miss Carolina Lang
don, Mr.. Haines," said the senator.
Carolina was interested.
"Are you the newspaper man who is
interviewing father? 1 hope you'll do
q nice one. We want him to be a
successful and popular senator. We'd
like to help him if we could"
The correspondent bowed.
II should say you certainly would
help him to be a popular SENATOR" he
declared emphatically, failing to notice
that Hope Georgia was somewhat an
noyed at the enthusiasm displayed over
her elder sister. In fact, Hope Georgia
was suffering a partial If not total
eclipse.
I'm leaving 1T to Mr.. Haines to put
down the things 1 ought to say" brok,
In the senator. HE knows"
eyes, he knows everything abou
Washington, Carolina" exclaimed Hop,
Georgia spiritedly.
The older girl spoke eagerly.
II wish you'd interview me, Mr.
Haines. Ask me how l like Washing
ton. l feel as though l must tell som,
one just how much l do like 1t! L
is too wonderful"
"I'd like mighty well to interview
you. Miss Langdon." enthusiasticall,
exclaimed Haines.

"In it,! exclaimed Langdon. "Well,
if this is it, it isn't so bad. l see you
use a painless method. When / was
down in Vicksburg a reporter backed
me up in a corner, slipped his hand in

Show Fine Pictures.

Starting this week and continuing
for the next month both the Majestic
theater and the Summer park will
show some very beautiful hand-col-
ored pictures of the orchards, gar
dens, irrigating bitches and alfalfa
fields of Pecos valley.
Many people in and around Grand
Junction have become interested in
the Peoos valley since so many of the
ranchmen here have purchased lands
there. The II. j. Gray Realty Com
pany have gone to the expense of hav-
ing the local photographers along
the Pecos river take special pictures.
These photographs have been hand
colored, and one can see at a glance,
without going down to Texas, just
what that part OF the country looks
like.
The picture slides will be tremen-
dously interesting to everyone who is
in any way interested in fruit, alfal-
ia, garden truck or any branch of ag-
riculture; and those people who are
unable to go down on the excursion
June 81 can get a very good idea,
indeed. of Pecos valley by dropping
in to either one of the two places and
seeing some of these pictures which
certainly are works of art.

There is no question in the world
but what the splendid baseball team
that Grand junction has this season
is proving, not only source of great
pleasure to the lovers of clean sport
in this city, but an advertisement for
the city and valley that is sure to
prove most desirable and profitable.
The team and its fine record is at
tracing more than statewide atten-
tion. A record of "all victories and
not a defeat" is record that is
bound to arouse widespread atten-
tion and general enthusiasm. Grand
Junction should be proud of her ball
team this year. With gentlemanly,
conscientious. able managers. with a
team composed of not only good ball
players but of young men of excellent
character and gentlemanly bearing
1t is an organization of which any
city could well be proud.
Twelve hundred bushels of wheat
harvested from 60 acres of dry farm
land and sold for $1.32 a bushel
This is the result of dry farming on
George f. Givens' farm near Long
mont. He bought the land from the
railroad at $3.50 an acre. In 1907
he got $3.50 bushels of wheat from
60 acres. Last year, which was the
driest in many years in that vicinity
he threshed the 1.2O0 bushels mem
toned above. Now he is building a
fine barn and paying off the debts he
contracted on his irrigated quarter
section with the proceeds of his dry
farm wheat. Samples of the grains
raised under similar conditions in all
parts of Colorado will be exhibited
at the International Exposition of
Dry Farm Products. which will be
held at Billings, Montana. next Oc-
tober 25-29, in connection with the
Fourth Dry Farming Congress.

LAUGHS AT PROHIBITION.

There are kinks in the prohibition
law recently passed in Tennessee and
one Conger of McMinnville in that
state has found a spot suitable for
the circumvention of the new law. 1t
is situated on the top of the Cum ber-
land mountains in Sequatchie county
where the state prohibition law, ef-
fective July cannot touch him, and
he is now having a saloon built there.
1t is eighteen miles from McMinnville
and there is no school house within
four miles of the place.
II is reported that Conger has leas-
ed all the land for four miles around
in order to prevent the building of
school house. Ten or twelve barrels
of whiskey and a lot of cased goods
are now at McMinnville awaiting
transportation to Conger's saloon.
Regular hack lines will be establish
ed to the neighboring towns AS the
legislature does not meet until 1911
Conger expects to make a fortune.
1t is seemingly impossible to en-
force prohibition even under the most
favorable circumstances, but this fel-
low seems to have found a loophole
under which he can operate without
fear of arrest. The business of the
hack line from McMinnville to the
top of the mountain will probably be
as good as that of the line running
between Fargo. n. D.. and Moore
