raphy OF the country along the line of
the proposed highway, there are no
great difficulties in the way OF con-
struction and that it can be built
within the appropriation. He said
that there were five places. aggregat-
ing less than half a mile, where picks
and shovels would be needed to
build the road. and that a grader could
be used the remainder of the dis
tance. Eight or ten culverts will have
to be installed. but they can be put In
at a comparatively small expense.
The road will be sixteen feet in width
and an effort will be made to have
it completed and ready for travel by
the first OF August 1t is believed that
the county road, now being built by
prison labor from Priest canon to the
eastern line OF the park. will be nm
ished by the end of the current month
and it is desired to dedicate both OF
them at the same time; thereby maxi
ing the top of the Royal Gorge easily
accessible to tourists by horse drawn
carriages. or by automobiles.
The county commissioners. the bu-
siness mems association and the pub
lie generally have been working 10y
ally for Some time for the road to the
top of the Royal Gorge and It is graf
flying to know that the city has decid-
ed to assist in the movement As soon
as the road making machinery belong
ing to the county can be assembled.
the most of which is now being used
on the Currant Creek road. work will
be commenced on the new highway
and will be prosecuted as rapidly a.
possible until the undertaking is fin
ished- The opening of this much talk
ed OF road will bring one Of the great
est natural and scenic attractions OF
the continent within easy reach of
Colorado tourists by wheeled vehicles
of nearly every kind. The long dream
ed Of driveway to the Top OF the Roy
al Gorge is about to become a reality.

Cool, calculating men, of truth and veracity,
of long political experience, men who know the
political game and from every county in the state
made bold to assert at the Tacoma convention that
Thomas Burke utter impossibilty in the SEN
atorial contest That he will get great many votes
goes without saying and any who will spend $780,
900 in contest of that kind would get the same thing,
but Burke has no chance and both he and everybody
else connected with his campaign committee must see
it. Even in King county where multiplied hundreds OF
dollars have been expended in boosting his campaign
he will not do than break with his competitor
and in order to make any showing he must carry the
county by an overwhelming majority yes, majority
such no has before gotten in the state OF
Washington.

keeping of these each of them supplied with
liberal amount of cash to take Of the delegates at
the bar and there tons of literature distributed
On Wednesday, according to the Times, the Democratic
organ of the Burke Campaign Committee, 400 Burke
boosters went to Tacoma, for whom, either the
committee else, had to pay. 1t is plain,
therefore, that the Of $4,000 the cost of the con-
vention Burke is conservative in the extreme, and In
spite Of all that money and in the interest OF Burke
seventyfve per of the delegates to the convention
favored the nomination Of John L. Wilson. Had some
one announced the convention floor that Burke
candidate the Wilson forces would have fguratively
speaking taken the top of that building off, 1t is safe
to say that $500 in cold cash would have paid every
dollar the Wilson Senatorial Campaign Committee and
John L. Wilson himself spent at the Tacoma conven-
tion all of which clearly demonstrates that after all
there is more in running for office than the spending of
thousands of dollars.

Now as to Eastern Washington. Henry Mcbride mas
said that the fight was between PondeXter and Wilson,
with the odds in the latter favor If that be true then
Wilson will lead Burke in that section something like
10000 votes and leaving Burke in the rear some 6ooo
votes at the general wind up 1t will thus be seen that
it is as utterly impossible for Burke to receive the SEN
atoral endorsement is for SNOWFALL to fly through

THOMAS RTTRKE AND THE SENATORSHIP

Judge Thomas Burke has more show OF being en-
dorsed for United States senator by the voters OF the
State of Washington than does the edornchief OF the
Seattle Daily Times, and if he should carry King
county by $4,000 plurality over John L. Wilson, For
it fact that there but two other counties in the
state which Burke has developed any strength at all
and it is question to whether he will even carry
those counties He has developed strength in Chean
and Skagt countless but it very doubtful OF him carry
ing Chelan over Poindexter and he and Henry Mcbride
will have fight like Turks to carry Skagit county
over Wilson.
The question at this writing is how much plurality
over Wilson will Burke carry King county. Burke's
supporters have publicly declared that he will get 90 per
cent over all the votes cast. In the face OF that
assertion however, the party workers. who in the past
have never lost battle, lining up for Wilson The
county central committee is almost unit for Wilson
and the city committee is in like frame OF mind. The
old party workers throughout the country invariably
for Wilson and the only newspaper support that Burke
has in the county is the Daily Times the well known
Democratic organ, that has won victory, and
whose support Republican politicians have invariably
from though they not have courted It's open OPP
position If the above statement be true, and they
have not been disputed by the Times, then why IN
Heaven name will John L. Wilson make splendid
showing in the King county primaries, even to the ex
tent of breaking with Burke.
There will be- perhaps, something like 10000 votes
cast at the primaries in King county and conceedmg
Judge Burke 60 per cent of the entire vote cast which
is utterly impossible he would get $4,000 votes at home
and with the lineup for Wilson he should get at least
10000 in King county and this would give Judge Burke
lead over Wilson of that famous "14OOO " which
Wilson would have to overcome to beat Burke IN the
state Leaving King county and going south neither
candidates will get enough of Pierce to be considered
an item but in the other counties southwest Wilson's
plurality will in all probability be as follows:
