SANTA FE DEPOT
MOVED TO THIRD ST.

The Santa Fe depot buildings have
been moved from their old location on
Fourth street back TO Third street to
permit the filling in OF the railroad
yards preliminary TO the construction
of the proposed new station. The en-
tire yards will be filed in with dirt
TO a depth of from two and half to
three feet after which work on the
new structure viii begin. The task
of raising the yards is a big one and
will require the services OF a work
train and crew for a month or six
weeks.
II is understood that the Denver 6
Rio Grande Railroad company is
shortly to begin the donble-tracking
of its road from its station to the
Burnito stock yards beyond Soda
point. In the accomplishment OF this
undertaking II will raise its grade at
the foot Of Fourth street. opposite the
site OF the contemplated new Santa Fe
station about two feet. which will ma
teriaIiy reduce the pull up to the por-
tails OF the Royal Gorge.

HOW TO HANDLE
new SwARMS


As the time for the main alfalfa
honey fiow approaches. the question
OF the management and control of
swarming becomes important for the
bee keeper. For the professional
apiarist this practically resolves it.
self into the question OF how much in
crease Is desired. With proper care
he can plan his work ahead and de-
eide whether TO get increase in num-
Der of swarms or keep down the
swarming IN his yards to the min
imum. just enough to make up small
winter loss from queenlessness, etc.
For the amateur or farmer beekeep-
er, however. who cannot be in his
yard every day or even at very reg
ular intervals it is a different prop
osition. Nevertheless a few factors
IL properly attended to will be a
great help and will obviate unduIy
excessive swarming. First have the
hives shaded from the direct rays
of the MONDAY sun and provide them
with an entrance not less than five
square inches between July Is and
August Is unless they are weak
swarms. This should be looked to es-
pecially II the bees begin to cluster
on the outside Of the hive during the
warm days In case Of weak swarms
or inclination to rob the entrance
should be made smaller. Secondly,
keep them we'll supplied with room to
store honey. Put on extra supers be-
fore the FIRST super Is crowded. The
second super may be placed above or
early in the season may be placed be-
meath the FIRST when II is about half
finished. Thirdly. when a swarm is
sues from the hive instead OF placing
the new swarm upon a new stand, as
Is customarily done. hive the new
swarm in the ordinary way, then,
moving the old hive away a few feet
and reversing the entrance place Of
the new swarm with its new hive In
the position OF the old stand. This
will receive all the old bees many OF
which would be likely to leave the
swarm. going back to the old stand
and becoming the cause OF the second.
third or fourth swarms from the par
ent stand As soon as the new swarm,
now on the old stand is settled and
has begun to build comb. say in one or
two days. remove the supers from the
parent hive and place them on the
new swarm.
Many cases OF ahseonding swarms
could be prevented by giving the new
hive n temporary shelter and plenty
of ventilation for the first thirty-six
hours after hiving. Do not place
swarm OF bees in a hot hive with no
ventilation and 10 shelter from the
scorching MONDAY sun.

WHITE BLUFFS Inn
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Handsome Hotel Complete Loss-Will
Be Rebuilt at Once-Blaze Starts
from Defective Flue

The White Bluffs Inn was burned
to the ground yesterday afternoon.
The fire started from a defective
chimney and had gained such head
way before being discovered that
but very little of the contents were
saved. The hotel will be rebuilt at
once, more substantially than ever,
it is reported.
The building was owned by the
White Bluffs Land & Irrigation Co.
and cost to build in 1907 between
$1,000 and $4,000. 1t was insured
fer $500. The house was being
operated by Mr.. and Mrs. r. J..
Owens who carried $1,000 insur-
ance on their furnishings. valued at
$500. The hotel had been leased
by L. R. Ufford, who also operates
the Columbian Hotel at White Bluffs
and who was to have taken over the
management of the Inn on January
first.
The Inn was noted as one of the
most handsome hostelries in Eastern
Washington. 1t was constructed
after the manner of country club
house, finished in Mission style, and
its wide verandas, ball room and
other modern appointments made
it unique among small town hotels.

May VOTE ON CARRIER
At TUESDAYS ELECTION
Ex-senator Spoken Of as Candidate for
Mayor-No Other Confess
Are Looked For

Feeling that since the primary
election the political factions of our
city have been pulled farther apart
than ever, no little talk has been
heard during the week Of a candi-
date for mayor who could bring them
together. The talk is, of course,
mostly in the abstract. but relates to
the need of some good man who is
not violent partisan-one who
could do much to settle the political
feuds that have kept the town in a
continual turmoil from election to
election. Such candidate would
be welcomed, but so far, only one
man seemed to fill the requirements.
In that light Mr.. CARRIER has been
spoken of repeatedly. Since he is
out of the race for councilman he
can have no political excuses for not
entering for the higher office. His
service as councilman would en-
title him to the honor, and if he
can unite the political factions of
the village he will be accomplishing
no small measure of good to the en-
tire community.
Other than possibly this one case
next Tuesdays election will prob
ably be very quiet. So far as we
have heard no other contests of any
kind will mark the day.
The nominees whose names will
appear upon the ballot are: Mayor,
G. F. Richardson; councilman at
large, H. E. Huntington; first
ward, J. Sercombe; second, H. R.
Vibber; third, Jos. Olbrich; clerk,
Dixie Taylor; treasurer, J. L. John
son; attorney, C. L. Holcomb.
