TWEEN. Y SIX YEARS OLD
Lamar Is Still a Youngster But
Pioneer Days Are Over

On last Friday Lamar celebrated
her twenty-sixth anniversary by
firing a salute of twenty-six guns
in the morning and the business
houses were decorated with flags
during the day. but otherwise it
was about as usual Birthdays are
no longer a novelty here. and the
present generation and those who
have come from the east in the
past dozen years have little idea
of what pioneering even as late as
the last of the SOS meant.
The days of full fledged towns
bursting into busy hustling life
with full sets of city officials did
not begin until the government res
ervations were opened a half doz-
en- years later in Oklahoma When
Lamar was started there was moth

Stealing Their Thunder

The Pueblo Leader. which has

expresses q daily fear lest the
cause of true reform shall be seiz-
ed upon by the oldtime leaders OF
the republican party and made to
serve their own selfish purposes.
The Leaders view Is this: Nov
we have been the wool
true blue Reformers for a long
time. and when progressivism seem,
popular these wicked leaders of
the republican and democratic par
ties want to climb into the band
wagon and take our laurels
away from Us. So we desire to
serve notice. that we shall have
nothing to do with the represen-
tatives Of plutocracy. for we have
a patent on reform and they shall
not take 1t from u.s."
This is certainly an unhappy STATE
OF affairs. On the one hand we
have certain progressives who are
calling to- the republicans to aban-
don their wicked ways and come
and be saved; and we have on the
other hand one Of the first Of the
organs Of reform putting up its
hands and telling the penitents to
go away because they are wicked
and not fit to associate with the
elect.
This Is decidedly q painful po-
litcal condition. Time was in
politics when those who were ready
to seek the mourners' bench we're
gladly welcomed even as they are
in the domain Of religion But IA
they are to be rebuked and rebuff-
ed and coldly received. we see
nothing left for them but to con-
tinue in their sinful ways.
II is curious anomaly. however.
that these so-called progressives
who claim that they have 80 per
cent OF the voters with them should
be so fearful that handful of
plutocratic bosses should take their
orga nization and run away with
it. Evidently their house is built
upon the sand rather than upon

ASK EXTRA SESSION FOR ROAD

Shafroth to Decline Request q,

Denver. May 24.-A committee
representing the good roads con-
vention and the county commission.
ers Of the state waited upon Gov
ernor Shafroth this afternoon ask
ing for an extra session of the leg
islature.
The ground given for the re-
quest is the resusication of the
road appropriation bill for $780,

ed by the destruction of a roll call.
Governor Shafroth declined to
discuss the matter in advance but
1t is stated that he will decline to
call an extra session and will di-
rect the attention Of the committee
to the fact that the initiation OF
a road bill can be accomplishe ID
through the fall election almost
as soon as a special session of the
legislature could do It.
1t is reported that the governor

lican party will have over one mil
lion dollars to distribute over the
state II a good roads bill fs not
passed now, and naturally they are
not in favor of any steps being
taken to make half OF this sum
available now"
The above Is the closing SEN
tence of an editorial in the Pueblo
Star journal calling on Governor
Shafroth to convene the Iegisla-
ture in extra session to enact a
law taking care of the internal i'm
provement fund.
The republicanS OF Colorado will
be clad to know tAat the Star
Journal sees the handwr8ting on
the wall and admits that one year
from now the republicans will be
in control and Will be, distributing
the internal Improvement fund.
The conference of county COM
missioners. county axtorneys and
representatives Of the various good
roads associations of the state have
raised a point in connection with
the distribution Of the internal i'm
provement fund. This conference
claims that the Enabling Act pre-
vents the initiation of law turn
ing this fund over to highway
commission: that the act provides
that 1t must be handled by the
legislature. The language of the
Enabling Act Is that five per
centum of the proceeds OF the sales
of agricultural public lands lying
within said state which shall be
sold by the United States subse-
quent to the admission of sadd
state into the Union after deduct
ing all the expenses incident to
the same, shall be paid to the
said state as the legislature there

the conference claim that under
that language the funds must
be expended by the assembly and
cannot be expended through the
initiative part of our constitution.
The conference therefore called
upon Governor Shafroth to con-
vene the legislature in extra ses-
sion for the purpose OF enactdng a
law providing for the distribution
of these funds.
Governor Shafroth takes a diff
ferent view OF the matter than
do the members of the confere nee
committee. He says the word
Legislature" in the Enabling Act
means the power to legislate. and
not the general assembly. He says
that under the Initiative and ref
erendum as adopted In Colorado.
the people can initiate a daw taxi
ing care Of the distribution of the
internal improvement fund be-
cause they have assumed the pow
er to legislate. Nevertheless. there
is little doubt IL law is initdat-
ed and adopted but that some
state treasurer would refuse to
pay the money until he had se1
cured a decision from the federal
court to the effect that the word
Legislature" means power to leg
islate instead Of the general as
sembly.
The election In Denver on last
Tuesday resulted In an over
victory for the citizens
ticket. Every candidate of that
party from mayor TO constable was
elected on the straight ballots.
They polled sixty per cent Of all
votes cast In the city. They car
ried every precinct but two. The
democrats carrying one and the
republicans ons.-4Ths-p precinct
carried BY the rspsblicans bsanu

The citizens ticket
was composed of both democrats
and republicans: the lahtes party Sc
cured the sherifrs office and the
city clerks which control the eaec-
ton machinery this fall. Mayor
elect Arndld had over $4,000
plurality and over 1900 majority.
There are three principal reasons
given for the result. First. the
general feeling that one control
ling mind nominated and control
led both the democratic and re-
publican list of candidates. Second.
the throwing OF Mr.. Arnold out
of the assessor's office by Mayor
Speer. and third. the general dis
because of the high
taxes under the Speer administra-

Holmes. The town government was
not organized until nearly six
months later. There were no mer-
chants as the nearest stock of
goods was at Old Granada. and the
only business represented was the
town agents In the little shack. The
Lamar Register was issued first
on June z. 1886. in one of the
first buildings constructed and
when the issue was printed the
roof had not been raised and the
printers were driven away from
the press by one OF the hardest
rains that ever fell In this region.
Thirst parlOrs were common in this
region but still At that date the
nearest one was At Granada. We
understand though that few
piano tuners were present, but
as the nearest shade was down on
the river and ice was ten cents

have been a. rank a. that Of these
piping days OF prohibition.
The land seekers were just be-
ginning to look west OF the Kan

DELEGATE FIGHT ENDED
Result Still in Doubt and Will Be
Until the Convention Gets to
Work

By the time this issue of the
Register is in the mail the woAk
of eleottng delegates to the repub-
lican national convention will be
completed except those from South
dakota. The situation has be-
come SO complicated that it is i'm
possible to estimate just what the
result will be. President Taft is
unquestionably far In the lead and
1t is believed that the nominee
will be either he or a new man.
The delegates at least have been
elected and although there are
many contests the national COM
mittee will meet twelve days ahead
of the con,tDtiOn and by the date
for that meeting have the tempor-
ary roll call completed. The con-
Nention Will be composed of II78
delegates representing the chosen
leaders for all states and their
verdict will be accepted by ali
good republicans whether their
favorite may or may not win.

A TRIBUTE FROM THE NORTH

The nominating papers Of George
w. Edgington have been filed for the
office of joint senator from Bingham
and Bonneville counties. The writer
of this article, during the session of
the legislature which Mr.. Edgington
was a member Of, did reportorial work
for one Of Boise's leading papers and
had occasion to observe the work of
Mr.. Edgington- He was one of the
most progressive members of the leg
islature and a man who always did his
own thinking. II Mr.. Edgington
should receive opposition in tho race
for the senatorship it will come pri-
marily from those who represent the
machine" element. The people of the
district can make no mistakes in elect
ing Edgington If they desire a man
who is honest, aggressive and always
watching out for the interests of his
constituency. 1t was indeed a rare oc-
currence If Edgington was ever absent
from his desk and no bill passed with
out his giving study to the same. The
good people of his district should
not neglect this opportunity of having
a man in the upper house who is abb
solutely devoted to the best that can
possibly come out Of progressive, sane
legisation.-(F. T.)

CITIZEN TO BUILD.

John G. Millick, one of Blackfoot's s
leading citizens and most public spirit
ed men, is negotiating for the building
of two story block on Bridge street,
Immediately west of his present
block, and where Miller & Stone, Leo
Henish and Frank Seigel are now To-
Gated.
If possible Mr.. Millick will exchange
property with the milling company and
thereby secure twenty-five feet in the
rear of the property mentioned, thus
giving deeper store room than other
wise. This means the doing away
with more Of the old frame buildings
that have outlived their usefulness and
have become an eyesore to the public.
Mr.. Millick sees the need Of better
buildings for the increasing business of
the city, and Is going to take a chance
with the other local capitalists, in do
ing his part toward making a city. He
never does things by halves, but is
one OF the best farmers and business
men in the community, and the citi-
zens can expect to see fine struc-
ture In the near future, where the old
stores stand.
