Cullman, September 9.-(Special.)- The city election, which will be held in Cullman September 19, at which time a mayor and board of council will be elected, is being looked forward to with interest. There are two candi- dates in the field at this time and 1t is hardly probable that there will be another. The race for mayor Is being fought out between John A. Sufferer and M L. Robertson. MT. Sufferer is a very prominent merchant of this city and is also the republican nominee for state treasurer. MT. Robertson is cashier of the bank of the Parker Bank and Trust company of this city and is one of the best business men and most widely known bankers in the state.
 MT. Robertson comes out with a plat form as follows:
 q favor unequvocally the enforce ment of law.
 q stand for an economical and im- partial expenditure of the funds col lected for city purposes.
 q believe that money spent for street betterment should be expended as far as practicable with a view to perma- nency.
 q not only favor improvement in our sidewalks. but favor some plan to actually secure such sidewalks.
 q favor the extension of the light and water advantages to any section that may demand the same.
 q am under no promise or obliga- tion to any man or interests except to see that all have the full protection of the law, in so far as my powers may extend"
 St. Bernard Opens
 St. Bernard college doors opened for business this morning. The college has never enjoyed a more propitious open ing than at this time and the monks at the college are much rejoiced over the bright outlook of the school for this year.
 This is the eighteenth annual open ing of this great institution. The grad uates of this great Cath ollie school may be found scattered in all of the United States and in foreign countries, many of which are following useful careers.
 The location of this school may well appeal to the minds of parents as be- ing a suitable place for the education of the youth. St. Bernard, located as it is, on a campus of many acres of ground it's students are shielded from all the evil influence. The young mind is endowed with impressions for good and high ideals that remain with him to the grave. The corps of teachers this year are better than ever and the 1910-11 session of St. Bernard com menced with the brightest prospects for a successful term that has been. It opened with the largest attend ance ever in the history of the col lege at the beginning. nearly 200 stu dents having already been enrolled. The session opened with solemn high mass In honor of the holy ghost, sung by the Rev. Boneface. O. S. B., director for the ensuing year, assisted by the Rev. Jerome, o. S. B.. and Rev. Stephen, o. S. B.. as deacon and sub-deacon re- spectively.

The Rock Road Law Held to be
Constitutional.

The Hodges Rock Road law
passed by the last legislature, was

the law granted legislative power
to the petitioners for the road anc
that it was unconstitutional for
this reason. The supreme court
held that there was no merit to
this contention; that the law is
constitutional.
Hill owned land in the district

In "A letter to the kalispell Fair as

SION to the r>asOns for his faith in
Montana, and backed those up with

variety. amount and permanent value
OF its natural resources. None is
growing more rapidly. In none is
the outlook better for profitable px-
pansion in all lines of industry. The
growth Of population and the extern
sion of settlement have contracted
the circle of opportunity in some of
our Older commemorative. Here the
resources are so great and compara-
lively SO little utilized that you may
look forward to a long period Of I'M
broken progress.
Montana is the third largest in
area of all the states. She has ut
this time the largest amount of un-
appropriated and unreserved land
that is available for tillage. Mon
tana's land Is nearly all capable of
utilization. More than one-thid of
it is good farming land. AS much

immense areas formerly thought

for Montana than for almost any 9TH

rather thorough cultivation, has dem
onstrated that splendid crops can be
grown on lands until lately supposed
