SURPRISED BY NELSON IN ACTION.

Tine Nebraska State Journal saws:
knute Nelson lived sixty-six years and
sat IN the senate for fourteen before
he. revealed himself to his countrymen.
The sturdy Scandinavian has clung to
the public life so continuously that
knowing ones had supposed him an eel
rather than the pOrcupine he now acts.
Since 1865, when he was member of
the Wisconsin legislature, his fellow
citizens might almost have held their
breath during his intervals as a private
citizen. so snort they were. He moved
from Wisconsin to Minnesota in 1871
and was prosecuting attorney of his
county by 1872. Thence it was but a
series of offices each higher than the
last until he stepped from the governor
ship to his present place. So far as
the world knew he was a quiet, we'll
disciplined senator all these years.
hence the surprise now that he is a
veritable ripsaw of insurgency. Tn call
ing out by name senators who are un-
Tit to vote on tariff schedules because
of their private interests he shows him
self as unrelenting a fighter as his
colleague and former fellow citizen of
Wisconsin, Senator La Toilette.

TELL US ALL, SENTINEL.

The Fairmont Independent wants to
know what Frank Days Fairmont Sen
tinel thinks of the forty-two democrats
in congress and United States senate
who have renowned their allegiance
to the democratic party, and are sail
ing under the flag of the trusts and
combines, and are supporting the high
protective tariff.
Also tell its readers what they think
of that political renegade, Senator
Bailey of Texas, whose election was
being investigated by the legislature
of Texas on account of his connection
with the Standard Oil company. at that
time. This is the senator who when
the trusts say thumbs up" up they
go, and when they say down" visa
versa. The other day he broke out
and attempted to whip newspaper
correspondent who was showing how
ne was voting, talking, acting, aiding
and abetting the high tariff protec-
tionists.
The democratic national platform de-
clared for revision of the tariff wav
down, and it was one of the issues of
the campaign, and here are third
OF their members in congress who are
standing pat for the high protection
ISIS. Come, now, Sentinel tell the
people what you think of the men
IN your party that have repudiated
the democratic platform.

wire nails of various sizes. These nails
may often be used to replace split pins
and the like.
While most short -crcuitings take
place in the h9h-tension wiring of or
binary ignition systems, failures some
times occur in the primary circuit. To
ascertain if this is so is not easy with
out some considerable bother, but if a
good voltmeter is carried the point can
be decided very quickly. To do so
switch off and see that no contact is
being made at the timer. Connect the
voltmeter and take the reading very
carefully, or. better STILL while the
voltmeter is registering the current get
somebody to throw on the switch and
note if the reading increases or de-
creases. If the switching on causes the
reading to fall it indicates that there
is short somewhere. The reason for
this indication is that there is always q
lower reading on a closed than on open
circuit. The circuit was of necessity
OPEN and should remain so, no matter
where the switch was so long as there
was no contact at the contact maker
when the voltmeter was first tested,
but when the switch was thrown on,
the short in the low tension wiring
closed the circuit and caused the read
ing to fall.
Although in a long run the tires be-
come considerably heated, the cause
for this is not well known. The heat
ing is the direct result of the fric-
tional action between the outer shoe
and the inner tube. 1t can be in a
large degree avoided by rubbing French
chalk over the inner tube before it is
inserted into the shoe; this reduces
the friction between the shoe and the
tube to a minimum. and. consequently
diminishes the amount of heat gener-
ated and the amount of wear eXper-
fenced.

miles from the best big game country
left. In addition to these advantages
they have homes that will pay them
handsome profits on their investments.
One of the tracts in this valley
which was sold recently went almost
exclusively to college men, among the
presidents of several well known uni
Versites. Former Governor Van SAINT,
Judge Sanborn, of the Circuit Court of
Appeals in st. Paul, and several other
prominent citizens of Minnesota were
also among the first purchasers.
The fact that all ranches are small

Increasing Land Values.
The Bitter Root Valley was settled
in the early sixties and has had
steady, rapid growth, especially after
it was found to be wes.derfully well
adapted for fruit growing. The late
Marcus Daily brought it first to the at
tentiOn of the world by establishing
his own home here and developing a
2S,00O-acre farm for bloOded stock.
For a dozen years or more it has
been known throughout the West as
the most beautiful and rich Of western
valleys and ranks in government re-
ports and elsewhere as a veritable gar
den spot.
Until recently outside capital was
never introduced, so that the growth
and development Of the Valley was
comparatively slew in the hands of
contented farm community; but within
the past two years or over, two million
dollars have been spent in ones great
irrigation project now nearing com
pletion, and others are under way. \
charter has been granted and work
will be started in the spring on AN in
terurban electric line running, from
MissOula to Anaconda, the entire length
of the Valley. AS this enterprise is
backed by Senator Clark, the copper
King, its success is assured. beet
sugar factory and canneres are
planned to be built this year. More
over the prices paid for Bitter Root
fruit have steadily increased. The eff
feet of these influences has been to
more thoroughly awaken the residents
of the Valley to the remarkable ad-
vantages they possess, and good land
with a good water right has more than
doubled in price in the past Is months.
Charles Heights Orchards.
A strip. of. "beneh land''r on the
western side of the Bitter Root River,
known as Charles Heights Orchards,

who wish to develop their own orchards
and those who prefer to have this done

loRlmER NOT so BAD AS PAINTED.

This is the measure taken of Senator
William Lorimer by The st. Peter Free
Press:
The new senator-eect Lorimer of
Illinois may not be the most ideal
man for the position, but he certainly
cannot be near as bad as he is painted
by some of the daily papers. A man
whose private life is conceded to be
pure, who commenced at the very
bottom of life's ladder to gain an
honest living. who supported his
mother and two little sisters, when he
was still of tender age himself, and
who always could be relied upon as a
trustworthy employee, is also sure to
give a good account of himself in the
senate. though he sometimes NAV ad-
vocate policies not always in accord
with what is considered best by peo-
pie outside of his own state. Every
man should be Judged by his deeds
Mr.. Lorimer as private citizen
is said to be above reproach. and if
that is true he is not likely to 90
very far astray as a public servant.
1t is charged that he is too much of
a boss. That is the fault of the peo-
pie. public man most always reflects
the sentiment of his home constitu-
ency. Illinois seems to be the home of
political bosses. A man in politics
either commands or obeys, and who
will blame Mr.. LOrimer for choosing
the former"
