GOVERNOR ORMAN
SCORES ANOTHER VETO

Denver Colo. April Ex-Governor
Orman has vetoed House bill No. 24,
ito provide for the garnishment of the
state, counties. municipal corporations
and school districts" The veto mes
sage says:
THAT this bill has especially to do
with the garnishment upon writs of at
tachment and execution, of the salaries
earned by any officer or employe of the
state, counties. cities and school dis
| trcts during his term of office, as our
courts have uniformly held that stat
utes providing for the garnislment of
the salaries of such officials We're void,
upon the grounds of public policy.
! That is TO say. that the official is n SER
want of the state and as such he owes Il
duty to the state that he cannot per-
form If his means of subsistence are
always TO be interfered with while he
is engaged in the performance of those
duties.
while 1t is morally right that n pub
lie official should pay his debts. still the
higher right must prevail. that is, that
he must be so situated that his services
to the state cannot be interfered with.
In other words, it is the interest of the
public and not the individual that must
be loked to.
"Another provision of the bill i'm
poses the service of summons and
writs of attachment upon the auditor
of state. The answering of these pa
pers necessarily involves expense
Such expense must apparently be paid
] from the public treasury, and thus. ill.,
directly. the public moneys are used
to aid the collection of private debts

Pittsburg, Pa, April 21.-The most
widespread and destructive storm,
from material point of view. ever
known here, has pissed. 1t has left Il
zone of ruin 200 miles in diameter. 1t
was unusual in that it possessed so
many different features.
Cities seventy miles from Pittsburg
were tied up by one of the worst snow
storms ever known. While the snow
fall was from eighteen inches to three
feet deep, which Is not extraordinary,
the snow was so wet that it clung in
weighty masses to shade and fruit
trees and electric wires and poles.
bearing them to the earth. 1t settled
on steam and street railways like wet
sand, stopping all traffic and making
pedcstrlanism almost impossible. The
fall was so heavy and spontaneous in
some places that the residents declare
1t seemed like the bursting Of a snow
cloud.
A few miles away from these unfor-
tunate towns We're municipalities in
Just rs dire straits from rain, but with
speedier prospect for relief, as the rain
will run off faster than the snow can
melt, vet here traffic was practically
suspended. Water overfiowed and
washed out railroad tracks and hill
sides came down and buried the rails.
In addition. nearly every town on the
Ohio river between Pittsburg and
Wheeling is in darkness tonight. Elec-
tric light plants or their wires are dam
aged and the gas in the mains is gem
orally turned off to prevent explosions.
So half a million or more people to-
night are cropping about in the dark.
A remarkable feature of the storm is

caused by II landslide, and the death
of an old woman from shock are the
only ones known so far. There may
be others, but as communication is cut
off from many populous places, 1t will
be the end of the week before the total
can be footed up.
The money loss Is Just as difficult to
foot up. 1t may reach S3,OOO,OOO. The
railroads think they have lost $1,000
600. The loss of wages to the army of
workers in manufacturing plants up
and down the rivers will mount up to
S5OO,OOO. and the repairs to plants will
be n large sum. The damage to stores.

EXPORT TRADE BRINGS
IN A FLOOD OF GOLD

Washington. ID. c., April 22.-rhe
fiscal year 1901 seems likely to exceed
any preceding year in its record of en-
ports from the United States. The
steady growth of our exports from
$500 600. 900 in 1870 to $3.50 100000 i'll
1890. 81 O.0OO.00O in 1892 and ST.
394 100000 in 1900 has been subject
of much attention and much favorable
comment. but it seems that 1901 is TO
surpass the record of the year 1900
and bring the export figure nearly If
not quite to the 81 S1.50O,OoO.0o0 mark.
The March import and export figures
just completed by the treasury bureau
of statistics shows n total expectation
from the United States in the nine
months ending with March. 1901. Of
81, 40, 1To.T2S, or SS6, ,54o032 in excess
of last year. which held the highest
record in the history of our export
trade.
Another interesting fact developed
by the March figures of our foreign
commerce is that imports seem likely
TO show n decided decrease in 1901 as
compared with 1900, while the exports
are showing the Increase above ind.-
Gated. The figures of the nine months
ending with March. 1901. show de-
crease of Si2.292,6 $50 in the imports
as compared with those of the corre-
spending months in the preceding
year. Thus the excess of exports over
imports in the nine months under dis
cussion is more than S1OO,o00,WD
greater than in the corresponding
months of last year and far beyond
the figures of any preceding year. The
excess of exports over imports in the
nine months ending March. 1901. is

Denver. Colo. April 22-Stockhold-
ers of the Chicago X Northwestern
and the Chicago st. Paul, AiinneapO-
lis 4 Omaha railroads will be asked to
at once ratify plans for the extension
of the Northwestern into Denver.
The connection is from Valentine.
Nebraska. to Scranton. Colorado, and
from Valentine to Mitchell, South Da-
kota. 1t is expected that the action of
the stockholders will be unanimously
in favor of the plans.
When the board of directors of the
Chicago n Northwestern met last
Wednesday in New York it took up the
question of the extension and decided
to submit the plan to the stockholders
at once, SO that no delay would be en-
countered in the construction of the
road. 1t is presumed that the voting,
which began saturday. will be finished
within week or ten days, and by May
18th at farthest.
BY the construction of the line into
Denver, the Northwestern will have
the short cut from st. Paul and Min
neapolis to Denver, and, in connection
with the Denver n Rio Grande and
Rio Grande Western. to Ogden. thus
enabling it to fight the Northern Pa
citic-Great Northern-Burlingto combi-
nation. The Northwestern, with its
new line and short line in Nebraska,
will also be in Il position of equality
with the triple alliance in handling
Chicago business, and with its Black
Hills and Wyoming line will be able
TO fight the triumvirate for the Black
Hills trade.

mitted to the stockholders include an

A discovery of much interest was re-
Gently made at Concord, Mass. There

1t consumes valuable time and eats up

The railroads are so deeply interested

as conditions now stand millions Of

Our plan may be told In few words.
If we get the appropriation Of $4,000.
we shall at once construct In every
state mile Of sample road.
This sample will show three distinct
kinds Of road-dirt, gravel and macad-
am. In some Of the states we will
break this sample mile into quarters,
constructing each In a separate section.
In other states we will build the mile
as near to the capital as possible.
Then, with these sample roads ON view,
we will employ skilled constructors to
talk to the farmers. We will educate
every community In every state to
build and drain It's roads In the most
scientific manner.

will be seen and felt through every one
