The legislature will hold tho center
t the stan for tbe next few weeks.
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.

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

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.

Kvery city needs payrolls to pro

Times were netatseitcr t ir railroad
mm on the slow board than right now.
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.

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.
