Missoula Cutoff, Some Day.

Referring to the long talked Of Mis-
soula-Lolo cutoff of the Northern Pa
cific Railway, President Howard Elliott,
in an address delivered in Lewiston
last week said: "We realize that the
future will demand the construction OF
such line. We would not want to
continue to cary the produce of the
valley westward to Spokane and thence
east; it would not be wisdom to contin-
ue to haul the lumber product, for in
stance, of the Craig Mountain mills as
far west as Spokane before routing it
east. Time will bring about the build
ing of this link in the Northern Pacific
system; cannot say how SOON"

Helped Bury Forest Rangers

B. C. Decker of Kooskia, was an
Orofino visitor this week. Mr.. Decker
had charge of the work for the gov
ernment Of removing the bodies of
the forest rangers who lost their lives
in the fires OF two years ago, to st.
Mary's for burial. Wherever requested
the government shipped the bodies to
relatsves for burial. Most of them
however, were buried in the cemetry
at st. Mary's Idaho, where large
granite shaft commemmorates their
heroism and fidelity to duty. They are
buried in circular grave with the
names all cut on the main monument,
and small footstones marking the
graves. The whole is surrounded by
high iron fence and cement walk
extends around the enclosure.

Perry Mitchell, democratic nominee.
for congress, was an Orofino visitor
Monday. Perry is chuck full of enthus-

carry off the congressional plum in
November. He reports his home town,
Nezperce as moving along nicely and
sure Of carrying off the county seat

NONE THE BEST OF 1T.

Some of the Democratic newspapers
of the state profess to get much sat-
isfaction over the little trouble the
Republicans had in the selection of
their chairman, Jesse F. Mcdonald,
by small margin over Harrison Tel
Ter, who was the choice Of the party
candidates.
They claim that thousands Of Re-
publicans will follow Stewart, Grif-
fifth and others over into the Pro-
gressive party and that there will be
fusion on several of the candidates
which will in the end strengthen the
Bull Moose party.
To one who looks at the matter
without prejudice it appears that no
party in this state has the best of
any other party when it comes to fac
tional fights. The people of all par
ties started out this year to fight out
their differences, and fight they must.
1t usually happens that they are to-
gether at election time unless there
are fundamental differences of opin-
ion as to policies advocated. The
Democrats have troubles enough for
one party in one year. Misery likes
comfort.

could make resistance. The prisoner.
Edward Jackson, was arrested last
night on a trivial charge. He resist
ed and took refuge in a house nearby
and began firing on pedestrians and
street cars. One of the policemen
sent to arrest him was dangerously
wounded. A riot call was sounded hut
when the police and citizens reached
Jackson he had barricaded himself so
securely and directed such an effec-
tive rifle fire at his pursuers thew
were obliged to fight at long range.
For two hours they exchanged shots
with the black. Then the firing ceas-
ed and the police awaited daylight.
A rush on his barricade took Jackson
by surprise and he surrendered, al
though well supplied with ammuni-
ton.
When the police gained entrance
to the house they found two other
negroes with Jackson. One of them
who attempted to rush the police was
shot down. He was badly wounded.
1t is believed the two men were in
the house when Jackson took refuge
there and that he compelled them to
help him in his fight.

STEPHEN FOLLOWS STEWART

The Progressives are feeling jubi-
liant over the fact that John B. Ste
phen, who was a candidate for gov
ernor on the Republican ticket two
years ago, has announced that he will
support the Progressive party.
This is no surprise to the Republic
ans as they were satisfied that when
Stewart went over that Stephen would
follow.
1t appears that the Progressives
have about as strong a hold on Ell
Paso county as the Republicans have
on Huerfano county. 1t has been
known for some time that with the
influence of Stewart in Colorado
Springs that the Republicans would
follow him into whatever camp he
should decide to go. However, not all
of the Republicans of Ell Paso county
will join the Progressive party. There
will be good Republican vote there.
1t is difficult to predict which of the
three parties will carry that county in
November.

THE FLYING OFFICE.

In the annals of naval and land
warfare we have heard much Of "fly.
ing squadrons." 1t remained, how.
ever, for the telephone to make ii
possible for railway officials to have
what may be termed flying office
A prominent railroad official recently
said 1--WE railroad men don't have to
be tied down to our city Offices any
more. We can get around over the
lines, and see what is going on with
our own eyes. Neglect our routine
business? Not much! We do just as
much if not more, with modern meth
ods."
This is all brought about by the
fact that the majority of the private
cars in the United States are now
equipped with Western Electric tele-
phones, which may be connected at
each stopping place to the telephone
line by means of line pole. Over
the telephone circuit thus established,
the official transacts his routine bust
ness as well as takes care of any
emergency which may arise. He die
tates his memoranda, and even his
more lengthy matters, to his secre-
tary or stenographer, who is at head
quarters. His private car is his office
and without neglecting everyday mat
ters he can make inspections or per-
sonally supervise any work, such as
clearing up a large wreck, the re-
placing of bridge or the clearing of
snow or land slide, while keeping
his finger upon the pulse of the
road"
In the days before the telephone
began to supplant the telegraph for
dispatching the message work on rail-
roads, this would not have been pos
sible, for even if temporary tele-
graph circuit had been rugged up, it.
would have been necessary to employ
experienced operators at both ends.
This would have meant that the per-
sonal message between the general
manager and the superintendent would
have had to pass through two inter
vening minds, which would of course
detract from the personal-touch ele-
ment. This is one of the many points
wherein the telephone is vastly su-
perior to the telegraph for use on
railway systems.

RELEASE THE STATES WATERS.

Now is the opportune time for the
people of Colorado to take positive
action to be rid of the bureaucracy
that has been using the natural re-
sources of the state for the purport-
ed benefit of people in other states
and of an alien country. This is a
question for the presidential candi-
dates to answer; for, after all, the
president has the last word in such
matters and his influence is all-pow-
erful.
The next chief executive will have
the authority to free the state from
the membranes cast about it by
those who would have a feudal Amer
lea created in the place of the repub-
lie.
Coloradoans must fight for their
own protection, and they must go at
the matter direct. This state may
have the balance of power in the
electoral college or in congress.
Why should the rich San Luis val
ley be held in duress merely because
federal engineers, anxious to increase
their bureaucratic powers, decree that
the waters of the Rio Grande are
required for a project thousand
miles away? Such position is con-
trary to the psychology underlying
the nations foundation. This state
as state has certain inalienable
rights. Why should private under
takings in other parts of Colorado
have to wait upon the autotcratic wish
of some federal department head? 1t
is high time that line of demarca-
ton were drawn for the protection Of
the state as such against the en-
croachments of the federal govern
ment.
Before the election the voters of
the state ought to know where the
presidential candidates stand upon
this all-important issue to the west.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

We had predicted that Judge Hol-
brook would render an opinion in ia
vor of candidate being named on
more than one ticket in this state be-
cause there is nothing in the Colo
rado laws prohibiting it and Judge
Holbrook understands the law and al
ways renders his decisions according
ly.
There are states in the union that
prohibit the endorsement of a candi.
date of party by another party, but
Colorado is not one of those states.
The decision is of Importance to
the people of this state as it means
that the name of candidate may be
placed on more than one ticket, and
it means that the district judge over
at Canon City will be permitted to
run on both the Republican and Pro-
gressive tickets.
There is no good reason why a man
if he is fortunate enough to have a
majority in two or three parties
should not be permitted to be n can
didate on those tickets. The idea of
the law is to let the people selectc the
man they want.
In the days of Populism it became
fashionable for the Populists to fuse
with either the Republicans or the
Democrats. Such fusion resulted in
the election of the combination tick

PLANS FOR NATIONAL
IRRIGATION CONGRESS

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept 27.
No convention held by the National
Irrigation congress in the twenty-one
years Of its history was ever greeted
with more perfect arrangements than
the one about to open in this city.
When the Utah delegates stood up for
Salt Lake City at the convention last
year and succeeded in having it Sc
lected out of long list of rivals,
they promised a demonstration that
would be record-breaker, and now
that the arrangements are about COM
pleted, their promise is seen to have
been no extravaganza.
Headquarters for the congress were
opened today. The advance guard of
delegates and visitors has already put
in an appearance, but the big rush
will not be on until the end of the
week. The gathering will get down
to business Monday morning and the
sessions will be continued four days.
The governor Of Utah and the may
or and business men of Salt Lake City
have co-operated with Senator Fran
els G. Newlands of Nevada, who is
president of the congress, in arrang-
ing for the reception and entertain
ment of the visitors. The delegates
are expected to number between 1000
and 1900. They will represent near
ly all the states of the Union and
sections of Canada and Mexico. Com
mercial organizations, irrigation and
agricultural associations, horticultural
and engineering societies, colleges and
universities will be represented.
Speakers both American and for
eign will address the congress. Among
the subject which will receive atten-
tion in the papers, addresses and dis
cussions are Scientific Investigation
of Irrigation Projects" "Co-Operative
Effort of Government and State I'm
migrant Officials" Elimination by
Law of Fraud in Connection With the
Locations and Sale of Land" and
many others of vital interest.
The business sessions of the con-
gress will be interspersed with en-
tertainment prepared IN an unusual
ly elaborate scale. A great industrial
exposition will hold forth during the
week and every night will be de-
voted to carnival features. The crown
ing of the Irrigation Queen, the re-
advent of the Wizard of the Wasatch
with his gay pageantry, and the sing
ing of the Ode to Irrigation in the
great Mormon tabernacle will be the
leading features of the program.
1t is regarded as particularly ap-
propriate that the melting that marks
the coming of age of the National
Irrigation congress should be held
here. 1t was in Utah sixty-fve years
ago that the modern system of irri-
cation had its small beginning. The
first meeting of the congress was
held twenty-one years ago in Salt
Lake City, which has since become the
center of the splendid empire which ir-
rigation has reclaimed from the great
American desert.

WHAT 1T MEANS TO COLORADO.

Six months ago the national house
of representatives passed measure
taking the duty off foreign sugar. A
substitute for that drastic act is pend
ing in the upper body making ma
terial reduction in the duty on raw
sugar.
II the former measure were to be-
come law the sugar beet industry
in this state, as in other states, would
receive death blow; if the latter
measure were to be enacted there
would come, perforce, reduced price
for beets to the farmer and lowering
of wages.
The American producer of sugar
beets cannot compete with free cane
sugar from abroad. There is as much
difference in the economy of produc-
ton of beet and cane as there is in
the climates where these products are
raised.
Free sugar." as the popular cam
paign cry has 1t, means the abolition
of the sugar beet industry in this
country. The existing duty is $l.6S
per hundred pounds, with a cut OF
70 per cent off TO the Cuban product.
The sugar beet grower in Colo
RADIO receives for his product sum
equal to the average cost OF import
ing and refining cane sugar and piac-
ing it on the market. The duty i'm
pOsed permits the manufacture a, d
sale of beet sugar in competition with
the can product.
In this state there are invested in
favories and beet lands $4,000. 900.
This season $17,000,000 of msnutac-
tured sugar will go upon the market
from the beets grown here. CT this
figure the farmer will receive about
S7,500,000, the field laborer s2,500,-
900 and the factory workers Sl.7tU,-
900. There are 175,0o0 acres given
ever to sugar beets. More than 10000
people are dependent for livelihood
Lron this industry.
Five years from now, under favor
able conditions, the figures given
above would be trebled. Possibilities
for beet growing in this state-the
most favored of sll-are unl,r,ited.
Soil and climate seem to havs been
made to order for this industry. but
even then, with these advantages. this
country can never compete with the
tropical cane product and the insigniii
cant figures paid to labor in he cane
fields.
Cut out the sugar beet industry
from Colorado altogether and what
effect would this have upon Dsnver
and other portions of the state? This
is the business end of the political
issue In the eastern centers, where
the law cane is refined, free sugar.,
or cheaper sugar, may sound yers
we'll. In Colorado, the "raw material
state, there is another side TO the
ledger.
what would it benefit the .inorer
without work. the property owner
without tenants, the farme" without
market for his products, TO save
cent per pound in sugar?
At the election in November this
sugar question will be determined
Colorado must play pars and il
should play that part INTEL gently.
The result Of the election may decide
definitely whether Colorado shall con-
tinue as a sugar-producing STATE orl
1t shall give up this industry
