there is plain intimation that there will be change when town com mittee is selected in the fall. It is planned to make radical changes in the present membership, and it is hinted that the caucus that names the com mittee will define. it's duties, so that there will be freedom in the matter of party nominations
 In connection with the recent caucus for town officers, this committee at first planned to drop four of the seven members of the present town council and to place three candidates ahead of three of the four members that were to be shelved. But when the council men who were to be 'tjumped'' object ed there was a change in tactics and decision was reached to drop the seventh councilman only. This plan changed when the committee realized that there was a fight on and that their plan would be thwarted. Just prior to the caucus the committee met and de- cided to make no changes in the coun- cil except to substitute a nominee, one of the councilmen having subsequently, declined to stand for renomination.
 Now this caucus has passed and all the nominations made came direct from the town committee with a single ex- ception, that of a road commissioner Now 1t is said that members of this same committee are now engineering a movement to prevent the election of one member of tkle council and are concentrating their effort to have him succeeded by democrat in the repub- ican town of Westerly.

The first annual meeting of the
Sentinel Butte Cooperative Milling
Company was held recently and the
shareholders authorized the board of
directors to run the mill nights if
necessary to keep pace with the de-
mand made upon it and to employ q
manager and additional help.
Rev. and Mrs. Ralph Roe of Taylor
will depart in about a month for
Oskaloosa, Iowa, where Mr.. Roe will
take up a five year course in theo-
logy. Mrs. Roe will take up the
study of music. Mr.. Roe has been
pastor of the Methodist church at
Taylor and Gladstone for two years.
A sweeping change took effect at
the Milwaukee depot at Rhame
the first of the month, the three oper
ators who have been working here,
all being laid off, and Agent Scheune-
mann is now supposed to do all the
work himself. of course, his hours
are limited, so the office is closed at
night, which effects the mail service
also, as no mail can be sent out on
the night train. Other towns along
the line are hit the same way.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. earns of Man
ming and two boys left recently for
an automobile trip to points west
They will travel over the Red Trail
to Spokane, and then south and east
ninety miles to Moscow, Idaho, where
Mrs. earns relatives live. They will
also visit Mr.. earns relatives at
Boise, Lewiston and Mountain Home

had a very narrow escape from
death. The party had climbed to the
highest peak Of the mountain and
in some manner Hiram lost his bal
ance and fell from the ledge Of rock
to a second ledge about 40 feet be-
low. He was severely bruised about
the body and was unconscious for
several hours after being removed to
the hotel at Oakdale. He was given
medical attention at Killdeer and
aside from being pretty Sol from his
sudden descent from the mountain
was all right again.
Orville DeLano of Mott met with
an accident at the G. M. & St. P.
pumping station last week, caused by
an explosion Of gasoline. DeLano
was working at the station, getting
ready for pumping and when his en-
CINE refused, used a lantern to 60
down into the pit to find out the
trouble. The fumes from the leaking
gasoline connected with the lantern,
a heavy explosion following, and ere
the man could get out OF the pit he
was badly burned about the face and
hands. DeLano is recovering nicely
but will be badly SCARED for a long
time.
The installation of the new electric
light plant at Marmarth is bringing
many new and difficult questions to
the city commissioners. After having
given the matter thorough considera-
ton the board has come to the con-
clusion that the only possible way to
secure the White Way is to assess
half of the cost which will amount
to about $1,000 per lot against the
abutting property, while the remand
er of the expense will be paid out of
the general fund. There will be 48
lots effected by the direct taxation,
and unless a majority of the lot
owners enter a protest, the prelimi-
naries for a White Way will present
a modern appearance.

81 might have said the same things

Il might have said the same things
to some extent, but in a different
way" said Lincoln l.. McCandless.
McCandless, who has been mention
ed both as Democratic candidate for
mayor of Honolulu and as candidate
for the deIegateship, has assumed a
definite attitude with regard to the
letter sent to the president by Cir
cult Judge T. B. Stuart, the full text
of which was published in the Star
Bulletin Tuesday.
While McCandless' opinions on the
Stuart communication, as given the
Star-Bulletin today, are purely per-
sonal, it is thought likely they will car
ry weight in any definite stand which
may be taken by that faction OF the
local Bourbon party of which McCand'

Resignation or reorganization! "
These alternatives developed late
Yesterday and early today In the new
Republican territorial central and
executive committees, named at the
close Of the platform convention Mon
day night.
Emil A. Berndt, the new party chair.
man, Is on the verge OF presenting his
resignation, believing that the Pro-
gressiye members on the central CON-
mittee are SO outnumbered by the
''other side" that he is not justified
In trying to handle the territorial
campaign. ... &
Friends of Gerrit p. Wilder, the
new party treasurer. VINO was elected
after his departure for Maui Monday
afternoon, are writing him outlining
the situation and intimating that ne,
too, may wish to resign
Only the hope that a wholesale
resignation on the part OF the so
called "reactionaries" will allow re-
organization of the committee has
kept the progressive" from a state
ment, through Chairman Berndt,
which will crystallize their attitude.
IA statement given out yesterday
afternoon by Alfred u. Cooper, chair
man Of the late platform committee,
and published In the second edition
OF the Star-Bulletin. indicated that un-
less there would reorganization OF
the committee there would be some
RESERVATIONS of the ''progressiyes.
Cooper said today that he has had no
reason 70 change his sentiments In
this respect
Meanwhile party peacemakers are
trying TO staye of the Threatened
designations. Walter Coombs and
John II. Wise would ike to see
Berndt remain as chairman and are
hoping that somehow q reorganization
can be effected to which he win con.
sent.
Some of the Republicans talked to-
day with Harry Murray, who is re.
garded as leader Of the group which
controlled the election Of committees
Monday night Murray declares that
there was no SLATE" f.xed to shut out
Raymond g. Brown, Alfred Games and
others. He scouts the accusation that
he was one of the leaders of fourth
and fifth district combination which
put through slate. e
Early this afternoon 1t was q matter
of conjecture whether Chairman
Berndt would resign before night or
remain In office on promise Of re-
organised COMMITTEES to back him up.
