, ton some one as the first choice for
United States senator. Consequently
members Of the legislature elected at
the fall elections following are in a
measure bound BY this expression of
party choice made at the state con-
ventions. This method seems reason
ably satisfactory to our people at the
present time, and | am unable to state
whether q majority Of them would ap-
prove any further change or not"
From the executive department in
the state of Washington comes a let
ter outlining the direct primary law 50
satisfactory to the people of that
state. 1t Says, in part, as follows:
AT the session of the Legislature
which has just adjourned it took just
II minutes to elect our junior sena-
tor, Senator Jones.
Direct Primary.
personally, and along with probably
30 per cent of our people, / believe the
direct primary law is one of the best
laws we have on our statute books.''
And SO we have placed Washington
in the doubtful list as regards a con-
stitutional change.
Iowa enters the same classification
for about the same reason. Governor
b. F. Carroll writes:
1 regard it of little consequence SO
long as the senators are nominated by
the people and the legislature accepts
the results of the primary election"
In a show down fight there is but
little question which side of the fence
these three states would be found on,
although they are classified as doubt
full.
Illinois would give no definite an
sWer, although Governor Deneen's sec
rotary answered the communication
stating that the governor was too busy
to give it attention at this time.
Illinois is generally conceded to be
open to a change in the constitution
although this does not come from the
governor. 1t is, therefore, placed in
the doubtful column.
Pennsylvania has provided several
laws bordering on the direct express
I sion of the views of the people for
! United States senators, but no definite
I stand has been taken
Governor johnson of Minnesota
writes as follows
while several successive legisla
lures have adopted joint memorials to
| congress asking for a constitutional
amendment providing for the election
of United States senators by popular
vote, the legislature of 1907 and the
legislature of 1909 defeated the bills to
provide approximately the Oregon plan
for the election of United States
senators. Both of these bills were
made more or less a party issue and
were defeated by the majority party
in power"

A VERY CRUDE METHOD

NVER in the state of Washington the state land board
~ is looking into the matter of selling some of the
state timber lands and in view of recent Montana history
along this line the procedure of neghbors is Of inter-
est The dispatches state that he board decided to have
the timber cruised before attempting to sell any of it.
When the commission assemblies dozen or more timber
cruisers of good reputation will be present to tell what
methods they would pursue in selling the land If one
makes favorable impression he will probably be selected
to take charge of the cruising No mans report will
be accepted however, the commission plans to check
the work of every cruiser"
There is considerable difference between this and the
horseback system" used in Montana, whereby one man
reported to have estimated twenty-five sections of tim
Der for the state in days. after which the land was
sold. And the man who invented this system of rapid
calculation believe, still holds his job by the grace of
the governor.
The Washington state land board ought to come to
Montana and get pointers short cuts in estma-
ing timber. Their own plan is very crude.

Here's to the other towns, and wishing
them prosperity and growth.
Whitefish, dating back to the time
when the main line was changed few
years ago, and the division point on the
Great Northern located there, had a
rapid growth from the first, and al
though the site was fairly hewn out of
the dense forest, it has steadily gone for
ward until it claims a population of two
thousand or more. Depending chiefly
on the big pay roll of the railroad COM
pany, Whitefsh has mills and other i'll
terests contributing to its support, and
gradually the timbered country surround
ing it is being converted into farms. 1t
has splendid attraction in the beauti-
full lake at its door, and is making the
most of it. AS the business of the rail
road increases, making necessary the
employment of more men, and the trib-
utary country is improved, the town
will be larger and more prosperous still.
1t is now preparing for an electric
lighting system, water works and other
public improvements that will make it a
more desirable residence city.-Kalispell
