KANSAS WOULD
COMPROMISE SUIT

Topeka, July BE. S. Ashbaugh
and Senator F. d. Smith. Kansas attor-
neys in the irrigation suit against Colo
RADIO to enjoin that state from the use
of the waters of the Arkansas river, are
in Denver trying to compromise the
suit. II their negotiations fail, they
will use the information they gain in
filing new bill of particulars in the
United States Supreme Court
Through an agreement made some
time ago, no attempt is made to hinder
the Kansas representatives from OBJ
tanning information in their suit. A
similar courtesy is extended to Colo
RADIO attorneys in Kansas.
Both Mr.. Ashbaugh and Mr.. Smith
are inclined to the opinion that the
water suit should be compromised. Mr.
Smith is out there for the purpose Of
seeing what can be done in regard to
building irrigation reservoirs. 1t is pos
sible that the Supreme Court may hold
tnat such reservoirs should be built, as
a means Of compromising the pending
litigation.

DEATH OF R.W. WOODBURY., PUBLIC
SPIRITED DENVER PIONEER

for a large public library in Denver.
During the Civil War General Wood
bury was a captain in the Third New
Hampshire infantry and won honor
able distinction.
Coming to Colorado in the spring OF
1866, General Woodbury. was first at
tracted to the mining regions, and viii
ling to take the. first employment
which came to hand, he engaged in
placer work in the gold-bearing
gulches of Summit county and re-
mained for several months in that sit
uation. Leaving the diggings in the
fall of that year, he came down to
Golden and worked as a -compositor on
the Transcript, then recently started.
and later in the same capacity on the
Denver Daily Tribune in the beginning
of its brilliant career. In short time
General Woodbury. became local editor
of the Tribune and later was managing
editor and part proprietor Of tht paper.
He continued as manager until the
end of 1871, when he sold his interest
and in the summer of 1872 purchased
the Denver daily Times, which was
started originally as theater pro-
gramme and vas not only small az
fair, but reflected much of the crudity
of the early typographical art in the
far West. But General Woodbury.
built the little sheet into one OF the
most influential papers of its time. and
remained its proprietor and manager
until 1882.
General Woodbury. was elected pres
ident of the Union Bank of Denver in
the fall of 1886 and continued as its
chief officer up to the time of the panic
of 1893, when, by force Of circum-
stances unforeseen by the wisest nm
anciers of the country, that institution
was forced to succumb to the tide Of
disaster which engulfed seven out of
the eleven national banks Of Denver
At the time Of his death, General
Woodbury. was president of the Cali
fornia Eastern Railway Company, and
president of the Cochiti Reduction and
Improvement Company of Denver,
which owns rich properties in New
Mexico.

GEORGE GOULD PREDICTS THAT
PRESENT PROSPERITY WILL LAST

with which to keep affairs moving for
q year or more.
He said reports he had received dur
ing his tour of inspection were very
encouraging, more SO in Pittsburg than
in any other section. While he had
been acquainted in manner with the
resources of this territory. he now be-
gins to realize that they were greater
than he had ever known. Talks he
had with manufacturers, especially
those in the coal, coke and steel indus
tries, led him to believe 1t will require
several years before the demand for
improvements and extensions ceases.
Continuing, he said: II can not
agree with financiers who believe that
the nation has reached its zenith of
prosperity. There is much work to
be done and it is only by travelling
over the country that the enormous
undertakings which, together with the
smaller ones that must necessarily be
overlooked, impress one with the mag
nitude Of the work to be done"

Colorado Man In Boston.

Boston, July 13.-Interviews pub
lished here yesterday with leading ed
ucators at the just closed convention
of the National Educational Associa-
tion, contain some juicy opinions of
Boston.
Said Zachariah Xenophon Snyder,
president of the Colorado State Nor
NAL school at Greeley:
ut is difficult for me to say what
particular civic feature of Boston has
impressed me most strongly, but
think that the one which, perhaps, at.
tracted my attention first, and caused
me to remark upon it, is the cleauli-
ness of Boston streets.
Two other things have also greatly
impressed me. The politeness of your
car conductors and motormen and DO
licemen, and the absence of offensive
evidence of liquor selling"

trict he proposes to tap for freight.
Mr.. Gould said the story that he is
Interested in an ocean to ocean rail
road scheme was absurd.
Mr.. Gould said the Wabash system
between Toledo and Pittsburg will be
completed in eighteen months. He
will then devote his energies toward
extending the system to Baltimore.
Mr.. Gould was questioned relative
to his idea of the future of business.
He said he could not see any signs of
cessation. He understood, from what
he had gathered, that hull was immi-
nent, but by fall he looked for re-
sumption Of the boom which had kept
the country strained to find money

Appeal for Eieht-hour Fund.

Denver, July 12.-The eight-hour
strike of the Denver smeltermen was
yesterday brought to an international
issue by the Western Federation Of
Miners issuing an appeal to the world.
The appeal is for an "eight-hour fund" !"
with which to fight for the movement,
not alone in this state. but in all 9TH
ers, where the eight-hour day is not
already in vogue. Not only is the ap-
peal directed to organized labor
throughout the world, but all the So
cialist organizations wherever they
may be, are asked to contribute.

Denver. July l3-General Roger
Williams Woodbury.. one Of the found
| ers OF Denver and one of the best
known and most influential men in the
| state, died from heart trouble, at =
O'Clock Saturday evening at the de Stat
ford ranch. q short distance east Of
Sedalia
Mr.. de Stafford was an old friend,
and it had been General Woodbury's
custom to go to the Sedalia ranch occa-
sionally to spend a night with his
friend. General Woodbury. spent Fri
day night with Mr. de Stafford, return
ed to Denver over Saturday, and again
went to the ranch on Saturday night.
He was apparently we'll and strong
when. according to his custom. he
started to retire early. He was in his
bedroom when seized with the attack
OF heart failure which ended fatally.
Everything possible was done to save
his life, but without, avail. General
Woodbury's son, Frank. was notified
of his fathers death at l o'clock Sun
day morning and the body was brought
to Denver late in the day.
General Woodbury. was 62 years of
age. and up to about a year ago had al
ways enjoyed excellent health. At that
time he suffered severe attack of
pneumonia, which left his heart in a
weakened condition, and he could not
undergo excitement or exertion without
painful results.
Funeral arrangements will be COM
pleted to-day and announced later.
Both the Masons. of which organiza-
ton General Woodbury. was high Off
Ger. and the Grand Army of the Re-
public will participate in the exercises.
General Woodbury. is survived by one
son, Frank, who is connected with the
First National bank.
Individually General Woodbury. was
as important as any one man
who had to do with the
founding of and upbuilding Of the
city of Denver and Of the state of
Colorado. He was one of the founders
Of the city library, and later it was
through his efforts that Andrew Car
negie was induced to pledge his gift
