Trinidad. Colo.-With five candi-
dates for the office of department
commander already in the field, and
not all Of the delegates yet on the
ground John Wingate of Durango and
|. H. Burt Of Colorado Springs are
leading the race for commander of
the Department of Colorado and Wy
oming Each has strong following
and it is generally believed that one or
the other will be elected. A healthy
boom was inaugurated for T. c. Ram
sy of Fort Collins. Dexter Sapp of
Gunnison and Frank D. Baldwin OF
Boulder are still in the field. and the
delegates from their posts are conf
dent of the chances Of their favorites.
There is every indication that the con-
test for the office will be lively one.
The fight for the next department
convention has simmered down to
Boulder and Grand Junction, with the
chances in favor Of the latter.

An Attractive CLUBBING
Offer.

The combination of The Daily News
of Minneapolis, The Prairie Farmer of
Chicago and The Hope Pioneer, is
the most liberal clubbing offer we
have v been able to submit to our
readers.
The Minneapolis Daily News is an
Independent daily newspaper, and al
ways prints the "Best News First
1t stands for the best interests of the
common people. Its editorials and
Washington correspondence are
valuable, while it's enlarged market
reports alone are worth the price
asked.
The Prairie Farmer of Chicago is
the Oldest agricultural Journal in the
west, and is making greater progress
than any up to date farm paper in
this section of the country. Its
editors r recognized experts on
agricultural subjects, and it's presence
in any farm home will prove a cons
tant help and source of inspiration.
The publisher of the Hope Pioneer
is able to offer you this fall an OPP
%portunity to get these two papers and
your home paper for one year for the
remarkably low price of $500. We
urge that you take advantage of this
offer at once.

The state officers salary bill calls
for practically the doubling Of the
salary Of the officers through a pro-
vision for an expense account equal

sale of liquors imported into the state.
The supreme court has been en-

The postal savings bank matter is

the Full Republican Vote.
Bismarck, Jan. 25.-The senatorial
election was the feature of the week
in the legislature and passed off UNI
eventually and without especial fea-
ture. The ballot of the legislators
was taken in separate houses on Tuas-
day and every Republican vote was
recorded for Mr.. johnson. The Dem
oorats voted for J.. L. Cashel, with
the exception of Mr.. Cashel himself,
who voted for Senator w. E. Purcell.
The vote of the two houses in sep.
arate session was ratified by the two
houses in joint assembly on Wednes-
day, when the election was formally
declared and the certificate of cleo.
ton signed. Mr.. Johnsonwas request
ed to address the joint assembly and
made a speech of considerable length.
pledging himself to the service of the
people. While a good many OF the
members of the legislature did not
favor johnson in the primary cleo
ton their votes were given him be-
cause of the endorsement of the ma
jority of the people at the primary
election. There vas at no time any
disposition to evade or seek to evade
the pledge that "a given by the leg
islators when they ran for office. The
election was without any of the usual
features of log rolling, soliciting,
cajoling, browbeating o influencing of
legislators by other means. In former
years the senatorial contest has been
the only source of interest until after
it was decided. This year it. was
merely an incident to legislative pro-
cedure and did not create even q rip.
pie Of excitement.

The report of the state grain COM
mission, recommending that the state
go into. the terminal elevator bust
ness, is a matter of considerable in
terest, but 1t remains to be seen
whether the proposition will appeal
to the business sense of the legis-
lature. Under the constitution of the
state private business cannot be en-
gagged in and this will prevent any
terminal elevator undertaking for at
least three or four years. A constitu-
tional amendment to permit the u
chase or lease of a terminal elevator
has been introduced by Senator Duis
and is now in a senate committee.
The board of grain commissioners
estimates the cost of building a ter
minal elevator at 100000 to 1915, 900
and the cost of operation at $500 a
month. The board has been investt-
eating the conditions of grain mar
keting and makes an elaborate re-
port, which, however, brings out moth
ing in addition to what has already
been developed upon the c~ongression-
al hearing upon the bill for federal
grain inspection. The producer is
stated to get the short end of grain
grading, dockage and mixing" of
wheat and, in addition to the terminal
elevator scheme. the board recon.
mends the establishment Of state
grain hospitals for the mixing and
cleaning Of grain for the benefit Of the
producer. It is stated that several
hundred thousand dollars . year. are
lost to the farmers In screenings

WHITEFISH TO HAVE
EMPLOYMENT OFFICE

A. E. Robinson Of Dubuque, Ia,
will open up an employment Of
fee in this city. There has been
quite demand here for an agency
of this kind, and Mr.. Robinson will
no doubt be we'll repaid for his ef-
forts.
At this time of the year there is
a great demand for men for lumber,
tie and wood camps and railroad
work, and the contractors are al
ways in quandary where to secure
sufficient help, SO an employment
Office would no doubt be great
benefit to them.
Mr.. Robinson comes here from
Dubuque, Ia. and is brother of
H. S. Robinson, brakeman on the
Great Northern. He has had a
great deal of experience in employ
ment agencies and will no doubt
make success of this enterprise.

PIPE DREAM SMOKE

An interesting story comes in
this week from the west end of the
country to the effect that party of
Great Northern railroad engineers
are working east from Jennings in
the direction Of Kalispell on the
old Libby cutoff survey. Couple
this with the fact that the Great
Northern has recently added about
a mile of sidetrack to the Kalispell
yards, and it will not take a very
imaginative mind to see the Great
Northern coming back into Kalis-
pell with it's main line within the
next year. We have printed so
many railroad stories this year
however that we refrain from get
ting excited over the report, and
merely print it for what it is
worth.-Journal.

SOME HEAVY GRADING

Parties who have recently been
over the railroad thru the noun
tains to the east tell of some very
heavy work that is being done, and
especially speak of one fill which is
believed to be the greatest in the
world in magnitude of the under
taking. A short distance south OF
Midvale the company making the
grade for the double tracks is max
ing a fill $500 feet long, which in
some places is 12O feet high. 1t is
said that it will take two years to
make the fill even with the aid OF
the most modern machinery. When
completed it will do away with
some of the doubled and twisted
curves in that vicinity and shorten
the track materially. Between Java
and Browning it is reported that
the double track grade now being
built will cross the old time line no
less than AZ imes.-Journal.
