The Situation at the smuseIer.

So far as anything authentic can be
learned there is no apparent change
in the condition of affairs at the
SmuggleGUnion. For week OR sc
after the tie-up the town did not feel
the effect, in fact was livelier than
usual, but the effect of 400 men being
thrown out of employment is begin
ming TO manifest itself in every line
of business. The greater proportion
of the men have left town, some are
taking advantage of the situation TO
visit relatives and friends in Other
parts. some have gone elsewhere In
search of employment and of those
who remain many are broke and the
rest are outstanding their resources
against the time when they are again
given employment
AS is natural in condition OF nf-
fairs in which the whole community
is so vitally interested, various thee

that the difficulty will find an early
adjustment. Every day or two rp

General Debility
THE RACE MEET.

The race meet of last week. all
things considered, must be credited
as success. There were several dis
appointments. partly in management
and partly in decisions by judges
all to great extent the fault of
horse owners or the jockeys riding.
1t is impossible. however for new
association to have everything run
smoothly the first meeting. but it
seems that hereafter the association
can and will profit by mistakes made.
In the first place, each event should
be scheduled to take place at GER
tain hour and where there are four
events, to have them come off inside
of two or three hours sanG not keep
people waiting FIVE and six hours as
it becomes tiresome ana causes many
to declare they will not go aglan. If
"A race is set for 2:30 let it be under
stood that it will take place promptly
on time and it will be found that
owners will have their horses at the
scratch the same as at Denver and
other race centers. Again, make 1t
s,plain that jockeying will not be per-
mitted. 1t might even be a good
idea to send to Denver and secure an
official starter. one who thoroughly
understands the business. 1t is very
tiresome straining the eyes for half
an hour or so watching horses score.
There should be strict rules and they
should be strictly lived up to. 1t
will give much better satisfaction to
liorsemen and to the public.
Care should also be taken that no
jobbing is indulged in and when the
suspicion is well grounded bets at
least should be declared OFF. In the
case of the quarter mile Friday it is
evident there was no jobbing intent
ed as the owner of the contesting an
imals We're in for blood. but the re-
suit WAS nevertheless disappointing.
AS stated in our Saturdays issue.
most men like to win fairly, or rather
give the other fellow a run for his
they We're entitled to the money, it
seems that bets should have been de
cared Off. But this is only an opin-
ion. No one has any reason to be
sore who bets on horse race as it
is well known that he or she does so
at their own risk and must accept the
result philosophically.
In the Cowboy race Saturday it
seems to us that the first heat was a
race for the reason the drum was tap
red and horses were not called back
aud had pte' judges given the matter
consideration they would no doubt
have so decided and If necessary re
turned the owner of Coon the en-
trance money. AS it is there seems
TO be but one way out and that is to
recitfy the mistake by letting the
purse go double as fair play must be
indulged in to secure attendance of
horsemen and when they find will
ingness to do what is right they will
be well satisfied. This was exempli-
fled in the case Of the quarter mile
event Friday when the Judges decia
ed to hang up another purse in order
to rectify any possible wrong ard
show the owners that they were in
tent on being fair in every particular.

the United States senate from Colo

The senior senator will simply lay

The lines engaged in the London

that most particular objections are

his mahogany consignments moving
from Mexico TO the Port Of London
direct are landed on the quay free Of
charge; but where such cargo moves
by way of the Port Of New York for
instance and is transported at that
port by way OF the London line even
