The democratic candidate for sur
veyor is Charles w. Haskell. OF un-
questioned ability in his profession of
engineering. he enjoys the good
friendship of every BODY. At the last
city election two wears ago, General
Hale, with whom Mr.. Haskell has
been associated in engineering work
in the Philippines, when General
Hale had command of the Colorado
regiment. came to his support in a
splendid letter giving the details of
the excellent work accomplished by
Mr.. Haskell. In very fiattering
manner he spoke of his service as a
soldier and his work on special duty,
in raising Spanish steamboats,. If
There is any man deserving of support
by the citizens of Grand Junction, it
is @. W. Haskell.

If Mayor mpliner had not stood
firm upon the matter of the mainten-
ance of the Public library, the people
who are fostering the city ownership
ticket would have repudiated that
contract. All honor to Mayor Samp-
liner for the stand he took in the
eau se of education. He simply kept
the pledges he made to the people,
when as mayor he stood before them
in public speech at the dedicatory ex-

A Sincere @ Foe.

In letter published last night by
NJ. l.. Allison, in one part of same
he pays the following high com
pliment to Mayor Sampliner's admin
istration. Speaking of an old suit
pending against the city he says in
part as follows: DURING THIS
TIME (for four years past) THE
CITY HAS HAD OFFICERS WHO
WE'RE CAPABLE AND HONEST
AND WHO STOOD READY TO DE-
FEND THE CITY AGAINST ANY
WRONGFUL ONSLAUGHT UPON
THE TREASURY - He certainly
pays unwittingly high compliment
to Mayor Sampliner and his admins
trarion in the above language. as they
have been the officers for the past
three years.
He goes even further in speaking OF
how Mayor Sampliner and his admin
lsIrhulOu mas permitted tlle Olu Wdtel
company suit against the city to slum-
ber in the courts and says: AND so
LONG AS THE PEOPLE OF GRAND
JUNCTION WILL TAKE SUFFI-
GENT PAINS IN THEIR ELEC-
TONS TO KEEP SUCH OFFICERS
IN POWER. FEEL CERTAIN
THAT THE OLD $4,000 SUIT AND
ALL SIMILAR SUITS WILL CON.
TINUE TO SLUMBER In COURT
UNTIL THE MORNING OF THE
RESURRECTION.
This is praise indeed from Mr.. ALI
son. He askes the people at the con
clusion of his article to give him cred
it for being sincere and perhaps il
this instance they will credit his Ian
guage with the sincerity which hi

Chris G. O'Neil is the democratic
candidate for marshal We believe
Mr.. O'Neil will perform the duties
of this position, if elected. with i'm

with a good honorable record in this

State Institutions Report.

The first evening session of the
House was held March 18th and the
appropriation bills were the special
order. Before going into committee of
the whole the report of the committee
on state institutions was received.
This report in part was as follows:
in nearly every instance the state
institutions are now at the limit of
their capacity and steps should be
taken at this time to provide. as far
as possible, for increasing demands in
the future. 1t is the opinion OF your
committee that the state is maintain
ing one too many penal institutions,
and that consolidation in this re-
spect would be beneficial and a meas
ure of economy.
The inmates of the reformatory
and other institutions of that class are
both under and over the age limit pre-
scribed. This is a serious mistake
and should be stopped and the atten-
ton of judges throughout the state is
asked to the age requirements of these
different institutions"
In regard to the employment of con
vict labor the report says:
at has been suggested that the state
coal lands be worked and the state in
stitutions supplied therefrom. This
would undoubtedly prove beneficial to
the penitentiary and great saving
generally to the state, but it does not
dispose of the question in its entirety.
Your committee recommends a
system of auditing the books of all
state institutions at least once every
three months. and the governor should
be empowered to employ competent
! accountant to perform this duty.
Your committee strongly depre-
Gates the misuse of the mileage allow
ance to some members of the boards
of control to and from state institu-
tions. and to prevent misuse in the
future recommend that all such mile
age allowance be discontinued
In speaking of the various state in
stitutions. the State Home for Depend
ent and Neglected Children in Denver
is given first place as the most needy.
The committee recommends that
$4,000 be appropriated for improve
ments at the State School of Mines at
Golden and that S15, 900 be granted
the University of Colorado for build
ngs and management. The granting
of an additional mill tax for this insti-
tuition is also favored.
The Agricultural College at Fort
Collins is said to be in good condition
and an appropriation of $4,000 for ad-
ditional buildings is recommended.
The committee says that the state re-
tormatory at Bucna Vista is crowded
to its capacity. and contains a major
ity of buildings that are primitive in
character and unsuited to their use.
New buildings and stone stockades are
necessary.

CLOSING OF THE
ELkTON MINE

Denver, March 25.-A dispatch from
Cripple Creek last night says:
The Elkton mine is closed so far as
active operations are concerned to-
night. This morning the management
commenced loading five cars of ore
destined for the Standard mill at Colo
RADIO City. to which the output OF the
mine is shipped under contract. The
executive committee of the w. +. OF
NJ was at once notified by the union
watcher, and committee was detailed
to visit the mine and call the men out.
As the SHIFT came out OF the Shaft at
noon the miners were informed OF the
desires of the union and were asked
to walk out. This they did quietly
and without disorder. The men walked
over to the Office and asked for their
time checks. Only few non-union
miners remained in the mine and they
only 10 bring out the tools and clean
IN. The management succeeded in
getting ont the ore. About O'Clock
a Midland Terminal engine coupled
onto the cars and pulled them out
from the loading switch.
The action has been anticipated by
the union. as the management had
from the first declared its intention to
ship when ready. About forty men
will be affected by the closing Of the
mine.
it is reported from the headquarters
Of the federation in Victor tonight
that the Nindicator will close down
tomorrow, its ore bins being full If
this proves correct an additional lJO
men will be placed on the non-active
list.
An examination OF the conditions in
the El paso Gold ing this morning
shows that water had filled up the
5OO-loot drift in the 9O0-foot level ana
had risen filty.fiVe feet in the shaft

Summary of Decision.

Following is summary of the Su-
preme Court decision in the home rule
amendment case. The court declares:
That tritling difference between
the journals of the two houses does
not affect the validity of the amend
ment.
That the point raised as to alleged
loss of property by the division of Ar
apahoe county is worthless, because
the Legislature has full power to di
vide counties.
That the claim that the city and
county of Denver will be an indepen-
dent sovereignty within the state is
worthless, because the general laws of
the state will continue to operate in
the city and county just as they al
ways have done.
That the failure of an actual major
ity of the persons voting at the cleo
ton to vote in favor of the amendment
is not point to be given any cOnsid-
Grafton.
That the Taylor amendment of four
years ago, authorizing the submission
of amendments to six articles of the
constitution, was valid. and that
amendments to six articles may be
submitted by the Legislature.
That amendment of the constitution
may be made by addition of a new ar
tlcle and is not restricted to a mere
change in some article already in tho
instrument.
That the home rule amendment as
submitted was only one amendment;
that amendment by implication of 9TH
er articles does not make it more than
one amendment and that n single
amendment may contain several sub
jects. provided they are germane to
the general subject of the amendment.
If an amendment is submitted in ac-
cordance with the rules laid down in
the constitution itself and receives a
majority of the votes cast on it, it is
valid amendment and becomes a part
of the constitution. The court holds
that the home rule amendment was
properly submitted and, having re-
ceived majority from the people, is
now part of the constitution Of the
state.
