As usual, the matter of the election of a United States senator will be of most , Importance from u standpoint of gen eral Interest and probably tho next, If the liiiuor Interests feel warranted by the strength of numbers, will be mi attempt to change Ulio present local option law, ' whereby Incorporated cities can vote separately, and not he Included with the country precincts. There will also' be several bills Intro duced to change the primary nominat ing law. r Statement No. 1 will possibly be modified from Its present form. This will be an Interesting session and tho first week will see several hun dred bills Introduced. Fortunutely the greater portion will never become laws. T&e Normal school question as to whether we aro to have four, three, two or one, will be considered, as usual. ; , - ' - Ona week from today there will ho a meeting the objects of which will be of vastly more Importance to the cltl- ' sens of this Immediately vicinity than the election of a United Stales sona tor, and we trust It will be talked .about and discussed in all of Us . phases, equally as much or more. We refer to the unguium mueiiug iu up held In this city. -e AVoodmen are taking advantuge of this snow to get their wood out of the mountains. This means that excessive prices will not rule until about April. Those who get short about this time f each year, always have occasion to .remember the price for several years, and strive not to bo so unfortunate an other season. r .. Hi There Is no question but what the members of the city council will earn their salaries during the next few weeks, or. as a matter of fate, until the Beaver creek project Is completed. t Kvery city needs payrolls to pro gress. We have nothing in sight. that will provide as much labor us the Ir rigation i.f the 12. 000 or 15.000 acres In thin Immediate vicinity. Our society people are already be ginning tn watch the malls. Inven tions to tho Inaugural bull of President Taft are about due. t.et us make the IrrUalloil project an assured factor ami then the watei will make the country adjacent to !.

The terrific tnns that make life a mlwery fr trainmen, both In shelter and on tho mountains, has caused more "Illness" among regular men than a Fourth of July celebration could do. Last night nearly every ex tra fireman and engineer was given a whirl at high 1 1 f on a train during a storm, while the regulars were homo nursing either real or imaginury Ills. Out business has been such of late that the slotr-board man has hud little chance to swell his pny check, so most of them take the disagreeable runs without a murmur. KOTAItY TAKE OUT. Goes to UuiK'un to C lean Orf IJne Whore, Drifts Me. Main For the first time this year, the ro tary snow plow was taken' out la it evening at 9 o'clock and sent to Dun can where huge drifts of snow were Impeding progress of trains. It Is rather a novelty to see the machine In action. If there Is anything on earth that will move a snow bank, and move It fast, it Is a rotary snow plow. The windmill apparatus on the head end that does the work Is a marvel when It comes to. transplanting snow. The fans revolve rapidly and as the locomotive In the rear slowly worms its way along the track the engine on the rotary sets things moving In great shape. The plow will be kept under stem contlnuslly during the storms and will be ready for Instant service. It re turned this forenoon from Duncan, bearing marks of having collided with many a drift during, its short-lived trip abroad.
