ent secretary of state, will file for
the Republican nomination for gov,
ernor, and quite few are willing to
stake their money on his chances,
The feeling is that il he does get into
the game the others will have to
hustle to distance him. He is, per
haps, the best known official in the
states service.
A bill providing for the initiative
and referendum has prevailed in the
two houses, but conference commit
tee will be necessary to settle the diff
ferences. The dispute is over the
majority required to carry any law
initiated The house made it ma
jority of those voting on the question.
The senate, however, refused to ac-
cept such and fixed the bill to read a
majority of all votes cast. This
ing the passage of constitutional
amendments 1t is generally believed
that the house will accept the senate
change.

Governor Hammond has reap
pointed C.. E. Vasaly a member of the
state board of control and as a result
fight that threatened to disrupt the
Democratic administration forces has
been brought to a close. Vasaly was
bitterly opposed by S. D. Works, who
is close to his excellency, and others,
but their arguments did not prevail
The opposition to the Little Falls
man even went so far as to attempt
to influence the senate against the
confirmation of his appointment. Only
nine of the members signed the agree
ment.

The house has passed the teachers
retirement and pension bill and it is
expected the senate will concur. At
the same time the house passed the
Stenvick bill providing for a new
basis for apportioning state school
aid. Under it's terms aid is given ac-
cording to the number of teachers
employed. The two measures were
acted upon Thursday and the same
day the house passed upon number
of other bills carrying educational and
state aid features.
Bills are still being introduced in
the house and senate and the list is
expected to reach the 1,200 mark in
both bodies. In each instance the
consent of the governor has been Sc
cured One of the new bills, which is
the work of Representative Bendixen,
calls for an investigation of the iron
ore properties on the Iron Range.
1t is the outgrowth of the attempt of
the legislature to curtail expenditures
for civic purposes by the Range towns
and villages.
Recommendation that Superintend-
ent J. N. Tate of the state school for
deaf mutes at Faribault be removed
from office and that the board of con-
troll be censured because of alleged
lack of attention to the affairs of the
school will, it is said, be embodied in
the report of the findings of the spe-
cial house committee which inves-
tigated the affairs of the school.

A lone highwaymen with nerves of

all of the employees were absent dur

J. Frank Campbell, deliberately drew
a gun from his pocket, backed Camp
bell into the vault under threat of
instant death, commanded him to fill

lhen locked the cashier in the vault,
stepped to the sidewalk in front of
the bank, deliberately frightened his
belt, buttoned his coat and strolled
up the street as if he had just come
from eating lunch. Mr.. Campbell
does not know how much money the
highwayman secured, but estimates
that it was approximately $4,000 or
$2,500. He says the man did not force
him to hurry and that he deliberately
picked out packages of 81 and 81 bills
and also dumped in large amount Of
silver and other small coin into the
sack which the highwayman held.

G. w. SPENCER TELLS
OF TRIP TO COAST

Neeuiesf tdi., DEC. l., i3lO.
decided to take advantage of our
stop here to write you of our trip. We
left our ranch on the Florida mesa,
November 10. The first night we
camped at Shiprock A. r. Mollette,
w. II. Turner and C. A. Ball and
family were members of the party
who crossed the desert to Gallup with
us and we journeyed togethr as far
as Holbrook. At that point the
others left us. as it was necessary
for us to remain for six weeks while
we got new springs from San Fran
cisco for our auto, to replace the ones
that were broken on the way. Time
with them was an object. We desired
to travel lisurely along and cover
the different points of interest.
From Durango to Holbrook we
found the roads in much better com
dition than we expected. The wealth
err was ideal.
After our auto was repaired we
made the trip to Mcteoritc mountain,
a huge hole which somewhat resem-
bles crater. 1t is about 800 feet
dep and about quarter of mile
across at the bottom, with rim
rising about 100 feet above the plains.
Scientists agree il was caused by the
fall of meteor, and the many tons
surrounding substantiate their theory.
One piece on the rim weighs about
5000 pounds. This has been ham
mered smooth by the tourists in their
vain efforts to secure specimen.
All the iron that could be picked off
has been carried away
Near Adamanna we passed the
famed Petrified and Painted forests
AT Kingman we saw the first
marked evidence of the excitement
over the Gold Road and Oatman min
ing camps. Three or four hundred
idle men were on the street discussing
the wonderful prospects of the places
and certain the old boom days of the
west had returned. We decided to WIS.,
it the two places of such great in
terest.
We covered Gold Road first. where
we found several mills running and
plenty of prospectors and idlers. From
thence we drove to Oatman. the camp
we had heard great deal about in
Colorado this summer. Here two
mills were running and 500 men were
ut work. Fully 1000 prospectors and
IDLE men formed part of the camps
population. The excitement is great.
In anticipation of its rapid growth
two additions have already been start
cd.
After short stay there we made
the 2p-mile journey to the point where
we crossed the Colorado river on the
ferry that landed us at Needles, Cal.
All lines of business and industry
seem to be represented sufficiently
in the camps except the freighting
and passenger hauling. This is done
from three points, Kingman, Needles
and Topoc, the latter being the short
est distance from the railroad. Every
body who has a team or truck is
busy.
In Needles we found the climate
like summer. The roads have been
good Our ear hae carvad ne yuall
The outdoor life has sharpened our
appetites to boyhood's proportions.
We will continue our journey to
the coast. We are planning to tarry
for some time at Santa Ana. / de-
