\V« dou’t deny The Pioneer’* in*
significance in the journalistic

Because we were a little late iu
getting together to arrange for the
grand celebration, is no sign there
ie any lack of enthuaiasm—if any-
thing it has stirred our people up
to n higher pitch and the shott-
neaa of the tune will not allow the
enthusiasm to become dormant.

Before tin* week’s Pioneer is in
the hands of our roaders the Re-
publican National Convention will
be a matter of history. Taft has
sufficient del«gat*‘s to assure his
nomination unless some unexpect-
«h! developments nnse. Gov. Al-
bert B. Cummins of Iowa, seems
to be the favorite tor vie* pres-
ided.
A good investment for anyone
with A little spare cadi would be
ths erectiou of a few desirable rent
houses here. At thie eeaeon of
the year there are usually a good
many vacant houios, caused by
the ranchmen moving their faum
lies to their respective ranches for
vacation, l,ut this year such is no
the case, aud tfiere is not a desir-
able vacant house in town.
