ner over the Columbia by 81 minutes

however. does not represent the differ

The Greeley Tribune did very nice.
ly in denouncing the Colorado legis-
lature for frittering away time and
the peoples money. 1t seems to be
an aggregation Of 1oshers, but the
taxpayers, as an audience, arc hardly
getting the benefits Of the price.
Larimer's representative, Mr.. Weldon,
says the existing condition is deplor.
able, and that he finds much to be
disguised with. There are men in
the legislature and senate who mean
well, but the work is held back by
most OF the "old timers" who are
"showlng" the people of Colorado.
Mr.. Weldon said further that all the
work that will be done should not
occupy more than thirty or forty days
instead of ninety, and We believe he
