Republican State Ticket
DEMOCRATS WOULD NULllFY
THE AMENDMENTS.

Three considerations will decide
how co'ored voters shall go this fall
party affiliations, merit of the in
dividual candidates, or the considera-
tion shown us as race.
1t will be many day before col
ored voters desert the standard of the
Republican party. Democracy or in
dependent voting cannot win many
converts among us so long as the Re-
publican majority in Congress is our
only bulwark against the loss of our
citizen rights through the nullifica-
tion of the war amendments. All dis
satisfaction with our party fades in
to significance when we remember
that in the last Congress, Democratic
Congressman introduced bills asking
the notification of the 18th, 14th and
18th amendments. That is a danger
too grave to permit of petty reasons
why we should desert the Republican
party. For the voter who knows
these facts, there is only one choice
he will go to the polls and vote for
the Republican nominees for Con
gress, Isaac N. Stevens and Jas. c.
Burger, and will add an extra protec-
ton by voting for the entire state and
county ticket because they indirectly
contribute to the success of the Re
publicon party nationally. Especial
ly the governor, who may appoint a
U. S. senator and the legislature
which may elect one, will be of per
sonal interest to the far-seeing voter.
The Republican majority in Congress
is the negro's bulwark for his citizen
ship.
The Republican state ticket is i'm
measurably superior to its opponents.
First of all there is Stephen, the candt.
date for governor. He will be re-
membered by Statesman readers as
the man who in 1904 stood up and de-
manded of the Republican state con-
vention that it turn an attentive ear

Then too John Stephen has lived his
life here in Colorado. He is tried in
public office and not found wanting.
He is not mere theorist advocating
anything to make votes, but serious
ly wishes to do good for the state
On platform so good as the one the
Republican party has this year, he is
the superior man for the place.

RAINIER MEANS VOTES FOR THE
ENTIRE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

But governor is not all of it. That
is one charge which we make against
the present Democratic administra-
ton. When J. B. Pearce disclosed
that he was a boor, an unjust and
improper official and stated that his
office of secretary of state did not
propose to treat all citizens alike, and
made an example of a colored woman

they do not dissent. James B. Pearce
a candidate for reelection on the
Democratic ticket should insure ev-
cry negro vote for the Republican
ticket. Especially dies it cause us to
turn to John E. Ramer, the Republi-
can nominee for secretary of state.
Mr.. Ramer is a former deputy, is
familiar with the work, has served as
clerk of Larimer county for several
terms, and above all is gentleman
The colored appointee under former

ALL OF THEM ARE GOOD.

And so we might go on to speak
of Benjamin Griffith for attorney gen
eral. He is lawyer of renown and
Republican who can be relied upon
to prevent any oppression through
wrongful interpretations of the law
We well know what it has meant in
the past to have friends in high
places and in Mr. Griffith, our con-
fidence is well placed.
Thomas L. Jamison for state audi
tor is wise selection. Watch him
run.
James E. Collier of Pueblo is up
for the treasureshiD. His popularity
especially in his home county is so
great as to mean a tower of strength
to the whole ticket. AS a business
man, he cannot be excelled.
Helen NJ. Wilson is an ideal selec-
ton for state superintendent of
schools. The club women of whom
there are many in this state, speak in
the highest terms of her. She is a
woman of character and force. She
is once a friend, always friend No
snobbery or hypocrisy about her.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
RAISE WATER 600 FEET.

Farmers Near Redmond Install Pump
ing Plant in Deep Canyon.
Redmond = Pumping water from
Crooked river to the table lands 600
feet above the river Is an experiment
being tried here. M. M. Davenport
and Neil Christensen have just COM
pleted pumping plant which raises
water by means Of an overshot water
wheel and supplies their homesteads on
the peninsula.
The project is remarkable under
taking. The Deschutes river and its
tributary, Crooked river, lie in gorges
500 to 1000 feet deep, the walls being
nearly perpendicular. At the point
where the Davenport Christensen pump
Is installed II Is necessary to raise the
water 600 feet over four perpendicular
lodges, the highest Of which Is 75 feet.
The undertaking, when commenced
last fall, looked like mammoth job.
The hardest part was to get the neces-
sary materials TO the place where the
wheel was to be installed. All the
material was lowered from the plains
600 feet above to the waters edge. A
wheel seven feet in diameter and two
feet eight inches across the face was
built. The machinery and hume were
arranged and securely fastened to the
rocks TO prevent them from being
washed away by high water. Eleven
hundred and sixty feet Of pipe are used
in making the raise Of 625 feet. Tests
of the plant have proved highly sue

ture 80 peculiar that It IL probable no

February, 1900. he landed from his

other men. Then, wishing to take q
picture OF the shore, he sent his boat
back to the vessel to get a camera, and
he and Captain Jensen were left alone
on the rough beach. Before the boat
returned q strange and awful thing
happened. Mr.. Borchgrevink told the
story in the outlook:
A roar and q rush, with tremendous
explosions, shook the beach. The
thought came to US that the perpen-
dicular rocks above us were falling.
Then we realized what was taking
place. The mighty glacier immedi-
ately to the west Of us was giving
birth to an iceberg
Millions OF tons Of ice plunged Into
the ocean. We could see nothing be-
yond an immense cloud OF rolling
snow. The water rose from the plunge

to Jensen, Now we shall have TO face

We rushed to the highest point OF

UNITED EFFORTS
TO SAVE TIMBER
Railroads, Timbermen and Of
ficials Cooperate.
Disappearance OF Prospective Ton
mage Stirs Roads to Action
Big Increase In Values.

Portland, Ore, June 7.--Realizing
that with the burning Of every thou
sand feet Of standing timber there is a
loss Of labor amounting to SO, that
stumpage values decrease 50, and the
railroads see the vanishing of tonnage
which cannot be replaced for many
years, the necessity Of adopting safety
measures for the prevention Of the re-
petition Of the fires of 1902 has led to
the organisation Of several cooperative
associations.
Oregon and Washington In 1902
helplessly watched the gigantic confa
grations which wiped out large
amount of the visible assets Of the
states. and also resulted In the destruc-
tion Of two towns, Springwater, Or,
and Brush Prairie, WASH, more than
20 lives being lost.
That fire occurred In dry season In
the mountains, and was only one Of
the many which ragged along the Cas-
cades and adjacent ranges. Il is said
by timber cruisers and millmen from
the upper waters Of the rivers Of the
two states that the year 1910 is thus
far q duplicate Of the conditions which
made possible the losses OF that sea-
son.
Anticipating the danger which Ia
sure TO exist, an effective system Of pa
troll is being placed In operation, the
railroads, timber owners, state and
county organizations joining with the
forest service In an endeavor TO pre-
vent the occurrence Of fires and TO con
troll those which may be started.
Many Of the large railroads on the
Coast have begun clearing their rights
Of way Of all inhammable material for
a distance Of 100 feet on either side Of
the center Of the track, ,scquipping their
engines with spark arrestars and In
structing train crews and employees In
fire fighting. Sparks from railroad en-
gines have proved the greatest cause
Of fires, and are followed by donkey en-
gines, hunters and campers fires, mill
smokestacks and lightning. One Of the
destructive fires Of the Coos Bay re-
gion was caused by q settler knocking
the ashes from his pipe among the dry
leaves and twigs beside log on which
he was resting.
An effort will bc made TO keep In
touch with slash burnings made by
settlers and 10 warn all persons enter
Ing the forests Of this state Of the ne
cessity Of exercising care In handling
fire. Tho forest lands are now plaster
cd with warning signs.
In this manner II 10 hoped to save
the tremendous values which are be-
coming available with the development
Of railroads. Timber sections which
at ono time sold In Oregon for $500
have recently changed hands for a.
much n $3.50, 900. On that basis the
prevention Of forest fires becomes a
matter Of stern business.
