Trying to Defeat Senator CLARK

State senator, S. II. Hardin Of
Sheridan county, is out on a still
hunt the object of which is to de-
feat the reelection of Senator @.
u. Clark. Senatar Hardin was a
Saratoga visitor Friday and inter-
viewed state senator Sam. F. Price.
He put the question up to Senator
Price if he was going to support
Clark for reelection. DR.. Price
replied that unless Senator Clark
withdrew from the race he would
most certainly get one vote. From
here Mr.. Hardin took an automo-
bile and went to the ranch of Hon.
w E. Tilton, on Brush creek. 1t
is not known what the result of this
meeting was but it is fair to sup
pose that he met with a cold re-
ception for MI. Tilton is a republi-
can and that means he is a CLARK
man. From the Tilton ranch Mr..
Harden returned TO this place as
Senator W. 81, Taylor of Encsmp-
ment was not at home. Mr., Har-
din had already seen Hon. F. A.
Hadsell befor he came up here
and he acknowledged that Mr..
Hadsell was not to be moved.
Mr.. Hardin and Senator Blume,
both from Sheridan County, were
elected to the Legislature on the
republican ticket, but now claim
to be insurgents and have started
out to defeat the election of Sena-
tor Clark. If they can get five re-
publicans to stand with them
against Clark that, with their own
two votes, will make enough to
take away the republican majority.
So far they have been unsuccess-
full in securing a single promise of
help.

.ondell helps the
HOmeSteaders

One of the first things Hon. F.
w. Mondell did when be went
back to Washington to take up
his congressional duties, was to
introduce a bill allowing home
steaders six months leave of alb
sence from their claims. Mr..
Mondell feels that owing to the
exceedingly dry summer that they
will not be able to live on their
claims this winter. Many of them
will have to seek to earn money to
tide them over the tight times and
and his bill, which is sure to pass,
will remedy any trouble that
may arise from their being absent
from their claims.

Offices, rooms hav ng been fitted

general offices of the company,
which are now located at Encamp-

road man of several years expert
ence on western railroads, He
left the position of travelling audi
tor on the Spokane, Portland and
Seattle railway to take up the su-
perintendency of the =. q E.
1t is not the intention, Mr.. Au--
tin states, to make any radical
changes affecting the business af
fairs of the 5. & K at the present
time. He informs us that he both
passenger and freight rates on this
road to be considerably less than
will be found on any other short,
intermountain railroad in the
west, while we are enjoying the
advantages of a daily mail also,
which few similarly situated rail-
road towns can boast of. Mr.. Aus
tin paid Mr.. Cramer a very high
compliment upon his past efficient
management and his ability to
give the people as good service as
he has done with SO little business
to draw support from.
Mr.. Austin says he is going to
make a special effort to regain for
the s. & E. the cattle shipping
business which has been recently
diverted to the Laramie Plains
route via Fox Park.
While the road is not a money
maker at present and cannot be
made 80 under existing conditions
Mr.. Austin expresses confidence
that the near future will bring
about a change in the business
conditions of the Encampment
mining district and the Platte val
ley and that a new era of prosper

Banquet Of The Sigma
Beta Phi Fraternity


The seventh annual smuster O
the Sigma Beta Phi of the Univer
sity of Wyoming was held last
Friday night at the Union Pacific
Hotel in Laramie, there were pres.
emf twenty three couples, consist
ing of the order of Sigma Beta
Phi and their lady friends.
The banquet opened by an ad.
dress of welcome by E. Deane
Hunton, who gave a short synop-
sis of the purpose of the fraternity
and the work they had done in
the past seven years. He said in
part, the fraternity was organized
for the purpose of helping back
ward pupils and the general pro-
motion of good about the Univer-
sity
L }. Holiday rs master of cere-
monies ordered the roll called af-
ter which the banquet was served.
Each lady was given a bunch of
violets, the fraternity flower and
the room was beautifully decorat-
with the University colors.
After the tables had been cleared
the master of ceremonies rose and
made a shot address and told of
the growth of the fraternity, and
it's hopes and aims as a part of the
students life at the university.
He then introduced Prof. Fitterer
who spoke on the subject of "The
Future of Our University" Prof.
Fitterer pointed out the advantages
that a small college has over a
large one. in the companionship
Of students and instructor and the
comradeship between students.
He believes that the fraternities
in a small college are of great
benefit. both to it's membrs and
the college.
The next speaker introduced
was Prof He'll who spoke on the
Fraternity system, he handled his
subject well, saying that altho
a. fraternity system developed a
strong organization and was of
great value to school life, still
each local frsternity must have it's
own traditions and customs out
side of its national life. He be-
lieves that the amount of good de-
rived from comradeship of fratern-
tiles is of estimable value to stu
dents, both while in college and
after they enter into business
life.
Prof. Hutchinson was next in
troduced and given the subject,
"What does the Faculty think of
Fraternities." Prof. Hutchinson
said in part, F~raternities in COL
leges and universities are organic
ed and carried on for the purpose
of elevating and bringing out the
better elements in the student
body, for the upbuilding of society
the promotion of good and the
bringing out of the manly elements
of man. He assured the fraternity
that the faculty gave their warm
est regards and will help to fur
Their the interests of the fraternity,
SO long as they seek to do good
and to upbuild the moral surround
ings of the school to which they
belong.
Sam Fuller gave a short talk on
the Delta Theta Kappas fraternity
which was followed by Miss Doyle
who spoke in behalf of the Alpha
Omega sorority, and the Pi Beta
Phi, The banquet closed with a
toast to the Sigma Beta Phi's.

Will Not Raise Tomatoes.

At a meeting of the Retail Merchants Association Monday night it was decided to abandon the idea of raising a crop of to- matoes this year. This action was caused by the recent heavy frost, which killed practically all of the plants.
 This means that the canning factory at this place will stand idle this year. as there are but very few farmers, who will raise tomatoes and this would not jus tify starting up the plant.
 It is to be regretted that more of our farmers could not see it to their interest to raise toma- toes. when they have an oppor- tunity enjoyed by very few other localities in the state-that of having a modern canning factory at their service, where they can get the highest market price for their entire crop. Surely this should interest every wide awake farmer or truck grower, but it seems to have failed on some in this section.

Emmett A. Howell

In the proper column this week will be found the an nouncement of Emmett A. How ell, Lonoke county's popular tax assessor, who is asking for a second term in accordance with Democratic principles.
 Two years ago MT. Howell en- tered the race for tax assessor and despite the fact that some Of the county's leading citizens were seeking the same office, he won by a handsome majority. Since assuming the duties of the office, Mr. Howell has made good every campaign promise and will no doubt be reelected without opposition. He has made the county a good officer and, according to Democratic is deserving of another term. Remember him when you cast your vote.
