IN THE C0nsUNuuOual OObNeutlUn
Yesterday Mr.. K. Walton Moore, the
able member from Fairfax county,
spoke in favor of submitting the new
constitution aud we'll maintained
his position on that subject. He
declared that the proposition to
proclaim the constitution was ex'
traordinary, against precedent and
of exceedingly doubtful legal status.
Mr.. Moore had recourse to the opinions
and writings OF Brice. Cooley, Jameson
and Jefferson, all OF whom uncom-
promisingly held tnst the work of COD
stitutional conventions was void and
of 10 effect uOless the approval OF the
people was obtained. The people OF
the State, in legislative capacity, had
declared its purpose to review the
work of the convention. II the dele
gates we're sent to the convention
under legislative act, and such act was
constitutional, then the convention was
bound by law to submit the coDslitu-
ton. Mr.. Moore declared that the
whole legal question hinged Oh the
validity of the legislative act, and be
contended 10 strong and eloquent Ian
euage that the act was valid. CoDtlnu-
lug be said: 1--WE are about to take q
step which may jsopardlze all our
splendid work here, and set at naught
constitution which we believe to be
one worthy of any great people" Mr..
Moore then discussed briefly party
pledges on the subject, and declared
that should the instrument be submit
ted be would do all In his power to sea
that it was adopted. The stand Mr..
Moore has taken on the subject has
strengthened the already strong hold
he has upon the true democrats OF this
section of the State who believe in full
filling pledges raa1e in party conven-
tioDs.

REPRESENTATIVE GOLDFoGLE intro
dnced a resolution in the House yester-
dav asking for 40 investigation OF the
accounts and expenditures OF General
Wood while sctiog ss governor Gen.
ersl of Cuba. General Woods accounts
have MOI been sub jscted to the scrutiny
of either the treasury or The war de-
partment. except as his reports have
been published from time to time, but
it il declared at the war departm ut
that he has not exceeded 10 any respect
the scope of his authority. Iu the lat
est reports of the auditor of the Island
during the American occupation 1t Is
shown that Gen. Wood drew for salary
and expenses from the Cuban revenues
$4,000 year, and that items OF person-
al expenses, such as champagne, ETC.,
were also paid for from the island treas,
ury. At the war department 1t Ia said
that General Wood had foil authority
for all expenditures he made from the
Secretary of War, who seems 10 this To-
stance at least to have overlooked the
fact that bis lavish allowances were oil
other peoples money. Gov. Wood was
allowed by Secretary Root s., 600 for en-
tertsinment and the maintenance OF
the dignity OF the position be occupied.
Sums OF money paid to Gen. Gomez
add other Cubans were also authorized
by the Secretary, because he thought
the services OF these men we're worth
som thing both to Cuba and to the
United States 10 the work 1t had 10
baud 10 preparing the Cubans for SELF
government. For all expenditures
made by General Wood which might
bs SUBJECTED to criticism the war de-
part nent assumes responsibility. The
peculiar phase OF the case arises from
the circumstance that Gen. Wood him
self should have been extravagsnt
even under such authority as be re-
ceiv d, when he made such q bitter
6gtt upon Rathbone for the same
offense, minus the authorization.

General Manager A. C. Ridgway, at
headquarters in the Majestic building.
is considering plans for making known
the resources of northwestern Colo
RADIO upon a scale never before at
tempted by any railway of the state.
Mr.. RidGway proposes to establish
bureau in connection with the road for
giving reliable information as to the
coal deposits, the metalliferous de-
posits, the farm lands, the climate and
other resources. He will engage sew
eral experts in the various branches
and these men will go carefully over
the country and make personal inspec-
tion in their respective fields. Speci-
mems of the various minerals will be
brought to Denver and displayed with
ample facilities, such as a great rail-
road corporation is able to provide.
''As general rule" said Mr.. Ridg-
way in speaking of the subject, "a
railroad company advertises the ad-
vantages of the country through which
1t passes. after the road is completed
ana IN operation. My idea is to have
thorough explorations made and to
supply the information to all inquirers
in advance of railway construction In
this way we may be able to have a
good local business when the road
comes along. The country will be in
some degree settled up, and mines will
be opened for shipment of ORE From
what | have seen in Routt county the
possibilities are beyond ordinary COM
putation, and IL we are able to set
plainly before the people the advant-
ages OF the region there is no doubt
at all of large influx of settlers. Even
on this side of the Continental divide
there are fine opportunities for pros
pectors and miners, and we will try to
be IN situation to tell what those op-
portunlties are. The information

mas been pressing on my mind for
some time, and my recent visit to
steamboat Springs convinced me that
the bureau should be put in operation
as soon as possible. We hope to do
some real good for Colorado. and also
Tor the railroad, through this means"
Headquarters of the bureau will be
