done to the growing crop. Weather con-

week was the government crop report is

1 VIII take my seat as mayor of To-
pelxa."
Mayor BergundthaPs talk was re-
eeived with loud and long applause by
the members of the. council and the
crowd which we'll filed the council
chamber and which had stayed till al
most midnight to give Berg" a good
send off in his new position.
After this. a little business of no great
consequence was transacted Mr.. 5. I.
Howe was elected president of the coun-
ell by unanimous vote, and Mayor
Bergundthal made his appointments as
previously stated.
For the canvass of the vote. three
committees Of tellers were appointed by
Councilman Howe, president pro tenn.
The committees of tellers were as fol-
lows: For the general election, Swend-
son, Blanch and Griley; for the
Wolf and Neil; for the school bond cleo
ton, Weber, Nichols and Snyder. The
committees appointed to canvass the
general election and the school bond
election withdrew to the Office of the
city attorney, leaving the council cham
Der to the committee which had the
Waterworks election to canvass.
Only one mistake was found in the
result of the general election of mayor,
and that was in the male vote for Heery
IN the third precinct of the Second
ward. The judges had reported this to
be 217 whereas the tallies showed it to
be 219. This increased Heery's vote by
two, and cut Bergundthars majority
from 2,971 to 1853. The other officials
were declared elected by practically the
same vote which has been reported in
the State Journal
The vote on school bonds was as fol-
lows:

Familiar story 10 Known Alt Over ths
World.
The story of the man with seven
sons who gave to each OF them In
turn a bunch of seven sticks With In
structions to break them, and each
son failing to break them az . whole,
succeeded in breaking each stick In
dividually. is one Of the Oldest stories
in the world. and It's lesson, United
we are strong. divided we are weak"
il as old a. the story. An illustration
of the general acceptance Of the story
was given at the public evening school
in the Morgan street chapel . few
evenings since.
Miss Clark. the teacher. told the
story In English to the class Of some
nifty foreigners who are learning to
speak and to read the English Ian
guage, when several Of the pupils said
they were familiar with 1t In their
own tongue and the lands from which
they came Thereupon the story was
told by one pupil who. had been in
this country from Palestine but few
weeks, in pure Hebrew; another
young man told 1t in Yiddish, which

en- by most OF the people Of that race
from Eastern Europe. A young wom-
an told 1t in Roumanian. another
young woman told 1t in Polish. and .
young man told 1t in Russian. 1t was
only q day or two before Christmas.
and many Of the members Of the class

Protest Asaln.. Land Bill.

Senate Joint Memorial No. 4. BY
Senator Taylor, concerning the public
land laws. was unanimously adopted
by the Senate as follows:
To the Honorable Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States
OF America in Congress Assembled:
Your memorialist, the Fourteenth
General Assembly of the state of Colo
RADIO. respectfully represent to your
honorable body that,
Whereas, there is now pending be-
fore the Congress Of the United States
a bill providing for the repeal of all
existing desert land laws; and.
Whereas. it is confidently believed
that the campaign for such repeal is
being conducted largely in the inter-
ests OF the land grant railroads. for
the purpose Of excluding from settle
ment all lands other than railroad
lands; and,
Whereas. the present desert land
laws facilitate the requirement OF
homes by certain of our citizens by
retaining and developing numerous
small intermountain valleys that can
not be reclaimed under apy other Law.
and,
Whereas. the federal land laws now
on our statute books have been Of
great benefit in the development Of
this state, and have operated satiy-
factorily wherever their provisions
have been carried out in good faith;
and,
Whereas. we believe that any change
In the present desert land laws of the
United States would be detrimental to
the great intermountain regior and
would especially retard the develop
ment of our state.
Therefore. we earnestly protest
against the passage Of said bill and
against any Interference at this time
with the desert land laws of the United
States; and further. we direct that a
certified copy Of this memorial be
forthwith sent to our senators and
representatives in Consress.
