QUALITIES
Representative Charley Pray, Mon
tana's Pack Horse in Congress,
Accomplishes Much.

The great state of Montana, the
third largest in the Union, growing
so fast that its population has
doubled in ten years, and with ap-
proximately 100000 people within
it's broad walls, is represented in
the lower branch Of Congress by
Charles N. Pray. And if there is
anyone who has an idea that Con-
gressmen do not have to work, he
ought to watch Representative Pray.
He is at it early and late, and the
pack horses that climb the Western
mountains do not carry half as
heavy burdens as are loaded on
Montana s public servant in Wash
ington. have found him at his
Office close onto the midnight hour,
and it is my impression that he is
one of the hardest and most per-
sistent workers in Congress. Con-
gresham Pray drives" things at
Washington, he goes the rounds of
the departments, chases hither and
thither to look after the wants Of a
great people, and is a regular at
tendant at all sessions. His man.
ner impresses one as mild, and he
has conciliatory, convincing way
Of getting things. But when this
mode of procedure fails, then there
is another way for which Montana
is famous, and for which it's Con-
gresham has something Of record
at home and at the Capitalize
fights! One day he had a bill be-
fore the House to reimburse to the
extent of few hundred dollars a
couple of old residents Of Montana
on account of rent they had paid
out of their own pockets while Of
ficers in land office. It was
comparatively small matter. but it
meant a great deal to the men in-
terested, and it was in every respect
proper claim. The Republican
organization had a sudden fit of
economy, the Democrat side was
seized with the same kind Of
spasm, and the house was in an up
roar. The man from Montana was
in his element, and he hung Champ
Clerks scalp along with a lot Of
Republican ones to his belt. On a
division there was an apparent
majority against the bill, but Mr..
Pray demanded tellers, and then
his friends came to his relief and
the cloak rooms were secured for
additional votes, with the result
that the bill was passed by sixteen
votes. When the Sundry Civil Bill
was being considered Mr.. Pray Of
fered an important amendment,
earring an additional appropriation
Of $160, 900, for the establishment
of mine rescue stations throughout
the country. The appropriations
committee wouldn't listen, and on
the floor the powerful leaders,

ACTIVE WORK TO RAISE FUNDS
Letters Received From Iowa Senators
by Mrs. Caroline Young-Smlth,
Secretary Of Committee, Are
Given to Public.

Des Moines, June 4s-Active work in
the collection Of the remainder of the
funds for the erection of the Allison
monument has been commenced by
the committee in charge. Mrs. Carol
inc Young-Smith will open up head
quarters IN the historical building
from which the business of the COM
mittee. and probably that of the con-
struction committee to be appointed
after the collection is complete, will
be conducted.
AS planned by Gen. Granville M.
Dodge, president of the committee, the
structure will be work of art such
as has never been erected in west
ern states. Great interest is being
manifested in the work.
Senators Dolliver and Cummins
have written letters to Mrs. Smith in
dorsing the plans for the collection
of funds. They are as follows.
Washington, d. c., May 27.-Mrs.
Caroline Young-Smith, Des Moines,
la. Dear Mrs. Smith: / am very
much gratified to learn that you have
assumed the duties of secretary of
the Allison monument committee at
the request of General Dodge. 1t is
needless for me to say that / am in
hearty sympathy with the movement
to erect monument to Senator Alli-
son in the capital of the state to
which he gave such distinguished and
unselfish service for more than a gen.
GRAFTON. His work in the senate not
only resulted in incalculable benefit
to the people of the state he repre-
sented, but secured for him an un-
disputed position in the front rank of
the great constructive statesmen of
our country. In addition to this he
was a true, sincere and lovable man
whose memory is well worthy of the
highest honor the people of his state
can render. / wish you complete sue
cess in the work that you have un-
dertaken and shall be glad to coop
crate at any time Very truly yours,
]. P. DOLLIVER.
Washington, d. c., May 28.-
Mrs. Caroline Young-Smith, Des
Moines, Ia.-My Dear Mrs. Smith
Yours of the oath int. did not reach
me in time to enable me to make an
earlier response. l regret the delay,
assuring you that it has not been oc-
casioned by my fault. / am in COM
plete sympathy with the undertaking
that has now fallen to your hands.
Senator Allison was one of the most
distinguished men that our state ever
sent to congress. He served the COM
monwealth throughout an unusually
long period and always bore himself
with the highest dignity He attained
great influence and was a conspicu-
Gus figure in the senate of the United
States. 1t seems to me a duty that
the people of Iowa, without regard to
political faith, owe to themselves to
erect fitting statue or memorial for
this man, and in so doing they will
recognize appropriately that the con-
duct OF public affairs is of the first
Importance in the life of the nation.
| am glad to know that you have
been enlisted In the work, because it
is the best assurance that / can have
that it will be carried on with intelll-
gence, patriotism and energy Yours
cordially, ALBERT B. CUMMINS.
