Surveyor General.

The president on last Friday ap'
pointed c. c. Goodsle as surveyor
general for the state Of Colorado,
This appointment is the first time the
southeastern portion of the state has
ever been recognized by receiving an
important office either state or federal,
and there will be general rejoicing
even ontside Of the question of pol
itics.
To those familiar with the situs,
ton, however, who know the sacri-
fees both political and financial,
which Mr.. Goodale has made in the
past few years to maintain the party
organization in this section, the sp-
pointment gives the greatest pleas
ure. 1t is not only recognition OF
the growing importance of the valley,
but Of the fact that in this part OF the
state republicans have withsioOd the
sophistry and schemes of the Denver
politicians, and maintained a solid
aggressive organization. 1t is not
only recognition Of the fact that
Prowers county is the banner county
of the group and has led in the work
for true republicanism, but it is above
all recognition of the services and
former sacrifices of the man.
Mr.. Goodale has been resident
of Lamar for twelve years and has
been so thoroughly identified with
the history OF the town that all who
have lived here know him and will be
glad to hear of his appointment
Politically he has always been ie-
publican. Since coming to Colorado
he has been an active worker for the
party, but has never held public
office except receiver of the local
land office under Harrison. He has
been state committeeman for this
county several years, and was acting
chairman of the celebrated meeting
of the committee in Denver in 1896,
when Teller, Stevenson, ct al. at
tempted to turn the party orgsnizs-
ton over to the Bryanltes-

Ii is not often that such a dislin
guished public man as Mr. Henr,
Watterson takes purely Utopian
view OF politics, bot when such man
does take such a view he Is entertain
ing, 10 say the least Mr. Waitersou
calls upon the Democratic party TO
recognize several hard facts, among
them the following; that free SILVER
has been RELOCATED to the Limbo OF
busted shades: = that the tariff issue
is resting upon the political shelf;
that yotter-and Mr. wStteuson, OF
course, means Democratic vcters---
have made up their minds that party
pledges are made chiefly TO be bro
ken; that the Republican psrty Is on
high wave OF popularity and viii
subordinate smaller issues 10 ''ths
broad principle Of national unifiea
tion aud expansion
For these reasons Mr. WAiterson
believes that the Democratic party
should nominate ticket that would
answer for both platform and ticket
George Dewey for president and
Fitzbugh Lee for vice president.
Bot what the Democratic party
ought 10 do, and what Mr. wHttsr~ou
is frank enough to Admit II ought b
do, will have little weight with the
men who determine what the party
will do. The habit Of doing ths
wrong thing Is inborn with the Dem
ocratic party, and it has never been
able 10 break itself OF the habit Mr.
wattsrson and sons other high
minded men have done great deal
to get the party night on few thing

Retrenchment reigned almost su-
preme for four days at Denver, and
the office seekers and lobbyist stood
aghast fearful lest the so called ''re-
formers" had become conscience
stricken and reformed. Everything
is serene now, however, for after per
petrating this little joke on their
friends the ''reformers" let up, dis
tributed all the pie that was in sight,
and are now introducing bills to ere

therefore lead to this inquiry: Shall

mind, the question is not one IN
which the eastern owners are so much
concerned as is Lamar. / don't know
what action will finally be taken by
the land board in the matter, but II
they decide not to sell this land, the
company will certainly proceed to
carry and apply their water to Kan
sas lands, which they already own or
can purchase, for the reason that the
company cannot delay making appli-
cation of water to land. The supreme
court has recently decided that, "No
right is acquired by merely possess
ing facilities for making an appro-
priation unaccompanIed by bona
fide attempt within reasonable time
to utilize them. Under our law, the
appropriation can be made only by
an actual diversion of water followed
by an application thereof within
reasonable time to 8 beneficial use !"
The storage company will not be
justified in hanging on to the hope OF
obtaining these state lands. II must
with all convenient speed provide for
the application of the water, and
whatever the question may be as be
tween the use of water in Colorado,
in preference to Kansas, there can be
no doubt that use in Kansas will
give better title than non-use in
Colorado, and in view of the state
complications, it will be wisdom on
the eompany's part to make aPPlicS
ton of water in Kansas before it may
be applied elsewhere, so as 10 obtain

I have reason to know that they need
to be undeceived. As i have already
said, their interests are really more
at stake than the interests of the
storage company. The knowledge ]

the storage company, justities me in
calling the attention of the people Of

BALDWIN NOT CONSULTED
IN HOTEL SITE DEAL
Prospective Purchasers Are Doing
Business With the Bank That
Holds the Mortgage.

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 23.-When
shown a telegram to-day in which f.
J. Baldwin denied the story that his
late hotel site was about to be sold to
parties who intended to erect thereon
a $4,000 600 hotel, Milo NJ Potter. who.
it was announced. is going to furnish
the hotel. laughed as he said: Il scarce
ly know Mr. Baldwin and have had no
dealings with him whatever. The two
men that will build a $4,000, 600 hotel in
San Francisco for me are not dealing
with Mr.. Baldwin, but with the bank
that holds the mortgage on the prop
erty. II is probably only a question of
time until that mortgage will be fore
closed, and my men are ready TO buy

While the Baldwin site is one of the
best in the city for hotel people need
not think it is the only site, for there
are other places in San Francisco that
are suitable for fine hotel, such as we
propose to have. The men stand ready
with the money with which TO make
the purchase of ground and TO erect the
hotel and l have the money with whi ch
to furnish and operate il.

edly be built, Will be one of the finest on

CROWN COUNCIL Is
HELD AT BERLIN
Presumption Is That the Status of
the Dreyfus Case Was Discussed
With the Emperor.

BERLIN, Aug %. A Prussian
Crown Council was held to-day. The
Emperor presided. 1t lasted two and
a half hours. Before the session Of the
council his Majesty received report
of the situation from DR.. Lucanus,
chief Of the Emperor's civil cabinet.
Prince Won Dernerburg, the German
Embassador TO France, lunched with
the Emperor to-day. 1t is inferred they
discussed the Dreyfus affair.
1t is understood that as result OF
the council the Cabinet will remain in
Office and there will be no dissolution
II is possible, however. that Minister
Of the Interior Baron Won der Horst
Will be replaced, he having bungled
some instructions from the Emperor re-
garding the votes on the canal bill in
a manner irritating TO the Conserva-
tive party. The dismissal Of some dozen
district presidents who contributed to
the defeat is also expected.
II is believed that Emperor William
now regrets his visit to Dortmund and
the speech he delivered there. which
was made without full knowledge OF
the temper OF the parties on the canal
bill. 1t is thought he will now wait
until next session. when he will try to
arrange some compromise.
