CHANGE MAY Be MADE
Senators and Congressman Take up
the Matter of .Enlarging POST
Office Entrance.

When the Commercial Club passed
the resolutions requesting the postal
department to take up the matter of
charging the corridor in the post
office building, and asking the on
gressional delegation in Washington
to assist, Postmaster Wells sent them
to the members of the South Dakota
delegation in Washington and urg-
ed them to take up the matter at
once.
Word has been received from SEN
ators Gamble and Crawford and Con-
gresham Burke that they would be
glad indeed to make every possible
effort to have the defect in the build
ing remedied. Congressman Martin
has not been heard from as yet.
Congressman Burke in a second
letter stated that he had taken up
the situation with Architect Taylor
and he learned that there was q bal
ance of $4,000 which had not been
expended on the Mitchell building.
and which could be utilized to have
tnese changes made. The supervising
architect informed Mr.. Burke tnatl
the revolving doors might be moved
further to the front and changing the
toilet room connected with the post
masters room and making q side
entrance at the east Of the building.
which would obviate the necessity
of all the people going out the Same
way they go into the building.
Senator Gamble In second letter
states that he has seen the super.
vising architect about the Improve.
ments and assures the postmaster
that the matter will be pushed to.a
hasty conclusion.
Judging from the actiyityofthe
delegation the ~congested conditiens
Of the ~postofice will not last LONG.

w. T. Mcconnell, Of the Western
National bank, expressed his personal
idea on paving and wanted to see It
done. He believed that Mitchell was
entitled to it and that it would place
the city in a much better position.
w. r. Ronald believed in the alb
stract that Main street should be
paved. Speaking with reference to
the kinds of paving Mr.. Ronald said:
I'm Sioux Falls granite has been
used, but the people are d~issatis-
fed with 1t. because the street Is
dirty and the traffic over the pave
ment makes too much noise. They
are now considering the removal Of
the granite blocks to substitute creo-
sote. The main street In Sioux City
was finished with asphalt. but this in
time was replaced with creosots
blocks. and now there is no fault
found with the street. Creosoto
blocks are durable. n~oiseless, and

NOR AS 4 REPUBLICAN
Could He Have Been Nom mated at the Primaries The Only Way He Can Get Into the Race is As An Independent

Newport, Ore, Aug 21,-Francis J. Heney who is on an outing trip in the mountains of the coast range has giv- en out a statement concerning his nomination for the office of district attorney of San Francisco. He was nominated as a democrat but he ex- presses the opinion that under the construction given the California primary law by the supreme court he is not eligible as a candidate of more than. one political party nor could he be nominated by party unless he had been affiliated with the party for more than two years prior to his nom inatiOn.
 He said he had registered as a re- publican less than two years ago and consequently could not be nominated by either party.
 The only way he can run is by pe- tition signed by voters who did not vote at the recent primary election re- questing that his name be put on an independent ticket. He says he does not want the office but if elected he will accept.

THE WESTERN CONGRESS
 ENDORSES BULL BUTTER
Resolution Recommending Removal of
 T.x on 1t.

Denver, Aug. 22.-Further desultory debating in the forest reserve con- troversy marked the last hours of the Trans Mississippi Commercial con gress yesterday and with the adoption of a resolution prepared by Thomas Patterson, former United States senator from Colorado, a sine die adjournment took place. One of the last acts was the adop- tion Of a resolution calling upon congress to repeal the 10c per pound tax on oleomargarine. There was some objection voiced by the dairy interests, but this faded away when the oleomar- garine representative offered no Ob- jection to the retention of the oleO- margarine stamp on all imitation but ter.
 The Patterson resolution calls upon congress for action defining the bOun- daries of forest reserves in such a manner as to exclude mineral and az ricultural lands. Frank Gowdy of Denver considered that the resolution was an inferred attack on Pinchot, and opposed it. Ii was not until a resolu- tion commenting the forestry bureau was adopted that the Patterson resolu- tion was accepted and peace was de- clared. The next convention, the short session, will be held at San Antonio, Texas, in November, 1910.

CABINET SESSION
 AT BEVERLY, MASS
Amendments to Anti-Tru and Inter
 state Commerce Laws Considered

Beverly. Aug. 21.-For four hours and a half yesterday. President Taft was closeted with three mem bers of the cabinet discussing changes in the interstate commerce and anti trust laws. Attorney General Wick ersham presented a tentative draft of several proposed changes. The pres fdent announced that no definite con- cusion had been reached in any of the matters under discussion. A def mite statement will form the main feature of the forthcoming message to congress.
 The proposed amendments to the antitrust law offer great difficulties and it was to this law that the con ference today was largely devoted. One of the subjects tentatively dis posed of today, was an amendment to the interstate commerce act look ing to a proper financial supervision and restriction to prevent excessive issues of securities by railroads.
 The cares of state weighed so heav- fly on the president today that he was unable to attend church. In the after noon he had a conference with Secre- tary McVeigh, Attorney General Wick ersham, and Secretary Myer, and dis cussed the personnel of the new tariff board Changes in interstate commerce and antitrust acts were further dis cussed. A list of forty names for the three places on the tariff board was examined. The president paused long over the name of James B. Reynolds, assistant secretary of the treasury.
