railroad commission men from being
put on the delegation to the state
convention. The committee appointed
by him on rules and order of business

opposed the plan and openly charged
that it's purposes was to prevent COM
mission men from being placed on the
delegation. This charge was admitted
in the debates by H. a. Fairchild a
railroad attorney, who defended the
committees report. The plan prevailed
by vote of us 1-3 to 253 2-3 and the
committee appointed by Mr.. Mead re-
ported a full delegation of men who in
the state convention voted as q unit
against the Mcbride commission plank
of that year. Mr. Mead was one of the
delegates.

O. r. G. N. MAKES OFFER TO U. S.
Will Vacate Wastucna Canyon if the
Government Will Pay Expense.

For an estimated expenditure of
along the north side of the Washtucna
coulee the O. r. & y. has offered to
vacate the cOulee to the United States
reclamation service for use as a reser-
vor in connection With the Palouse
irrigation project Of the government.
The proposition was submitted to F. Fl.
Newell, chief engineer of the reclama-
ton service. by f. +. Calvin, general
manager of the O. K. & n. and also
asks that the government maintain
forever two free ferries across the res
erVOir at points where the company
now has sidetracks between kahlotus
and Council. The proposition of the O.
R. & n. is:
F. H. Newell, Chief Engineer, Re-
clamation Service, Washington, d. c.
Dear Sir: Referring to the Washtuc-
ma cOulee matter, we have decided that
if the people who have settled the
country south Of the line between
Kahlotus and Connell are properly pro-
tected, we will assume some loss for
the benefit of the country that is to be
irrigated
If the reclamation fund Will build
us a new line on the north side of the
coulee or reimburse us for such ex-
pense (Which is roughly estimated at
permanently free ferries at the two
points between Kahlotus and COnnell
where We now have sidings located
one being about one mile west of Sui
phur Lake and the other about half
way between there and Kahlotus-we
will give up our rights in the coulee
and allow it to be used for reservoir
purposes.
You understand of course. that this
| would give us Il much more expensive
road to maintain than the present
! enc, and we would receive the right TO
| make the location of the new line our
! selves, in order to cut out the high
| trestles which are necessary by the line
/ located some time ago. In this, how
| ever, we would be entirely fair, and
/ would expect the cooperation of your
| self and such engineers as you might
! designate. 1t is to be understood, also,
| new line must be such as to enable us
! to use our present trackage at that
place and our present main line con-
| nection with it. Yours truly.

weeks ago, with his entire force, was
thrown into the ''bull pen" because, as
alleged, he criticised the actions of the
militia in the field"
The desperate ends to which the op-
ponents of the militia are prepared to
go was shown a few weeks ago in an
attempt to kill two companies of infan-
try by poisoning the water in the sup
ply tank at Camp Ell Paso Sixty-eight
men would have died had not the
strength of the poison diluted with so
much water been miscalculated.
Governor Peabody's action in order
ing troops to the Telluride and Cripple
Creek districts has been sustained in
the recent report of Major General
John c. Bates, y. S. A, who was sent
to Colorado to investigate the condi-
tons. at those points. General Bates
said: 81 find that the disturbances at
both Cripple Creek and Telluride
amounted to instruction against the
state of Colorado in that mining. mill
ing and other business were suspended
there by reason of intimidation.
threats and violence and that the civil
officers were not able to or did not
maintain order think the
employment of state troops at both
these points necessary"
Against this is the recent appeal of
the executive board of the Western
Federation of Labor to President
Roosevelt in the following telegram:
AT the present time officers of the
state of Colorado, under the guise and
pretext Of enforcing the law, have or
dered large number Of reputable and
self sustaining citizens and residents
to leave Telluride under penalty of
being imprisoned or otherwise severely
dealt with. The citizens and residents
are not guilty of any crime against the
laws Of the state or the United States.
We call upon you to give these
persons the protection guaranteed them
by the laws Of the land"
Governor James III. Peabody Ia de-
scended from a family that has been
successful In public affairs for many
generations. The first Peabody In this
country was Lieutenant Francis Pea

The governor Is a native Of Vermont
and fifty-one years old. He got his
education in the public schools and in
a business college and as young man
worked as a clerk In a Boston store
g Removing to Denver some years ago.
he was for time employed as a fire
man, later going to Canon City, where
he has been in the banking business
since 1885. The governor has always
been active in politics, and as a public
officer has won esteem for his eKecu.

the executive power.
The trouble, which began several
months ago in a strike in the Colorado
City ore mills and concerned but 12O
men, has resulted in an extraordinary
condition Of affairs, in which the civil
on numerous occasions.
Furthermore, the strike which began
so insignifcantly has grown to such
proportions that 10000 miners, both
metal and coal, have laid down their
tools, and an army of militia is in the
field performing police duty in the
Cripple Creek and other mining CEN
tiers.
When the troops were ordered to the
Cripple Creek district the people, it is
said, protested against such action, in
sisting that the civil authorities were
capable of controlling the situation
With the arrival of the troops began
bitter conflict between the civil powers
and the military. Miners and business
men, it is alleged, were arrested by the
soldiers without charges of any kind
having been filed against them and
without the declaration of martial law,
and the prisoners were then confined in
the "bull pen" at Camp Goldfield. In
fact, martial law and the suspension of
the writ of habeas corpus were pro
claimed ON Dec. 4.
1t is said that scores of damage suits
will result from these alleged illegal
imprisonments, and several suits have
already been started. They are for
100000 each, and the defendants are

Saffron.

The particular species of crocus that
has from time immemorial been cult
waited for it's dried stigmas, product
known under the name of saffron, Is
Crocus sativus. which Is wild from
Italy to kurdistan. Saffron may be
reckoned among the very oldest of
vegetable products, being alluded to in
the Song of Solomon among other
spices OF Lebanon. The name crocus
h Chaldean or Greek and was first
used by Theophrastus Of Eresus about
$50 B. c.. and that 1t was a well known
and admired flower In Greece soon
afterward Is shown by Sophocles who
mentions the 'crocus of golden beam"
In his .q1dipus at Colonos."
The word saffron seems to be cor
ruption OF the Arabic name al zahafa-
ran" and the product itself was first
Imported Into England as a spice or
eondiment. being also used as a color
ex1dye for silks and other fabrics of the
eastern looms.
AT a later date, exactly when is not
known. the plant itself was cultivated
IN England. more especially In Essex,
in which copnty the name of Saffron
Walden remains In evidence of the
fact. Again, we have In London SAT-
tron hill. which formerly was u site In

at Holborn. once famous for its saffron
beds rs well as for its strawberries.
To-day, however, saffron is but little
used.

CONCENTRATION IN CITIES.
Men and Institutions Are Drawn to
q Common Center by the De-
sire for Progress.

Concentration seems to be the law Of
social progress in this, our day. And so,
one by one, the men and institutions
striving to be national in influence draw
TO a common center, writes Hamlin Gar
land. in Metropolitan Magazine. Wall
street collects financiers; Newspaper
row allures journalists, and lower Fifth
avenue calls to publisher and author
with well nigh irresistible eloquence.
Hither they come, blindly, swiftly-all
to battle-some to triumph.
l have deplored this concentration in
my time. l o see hat while | was
right / was also wrong. Great good
as we'll as certain evil comes out of this
ominous Capitalization. l wished the
whole of American life to be locally
~leavened by its artists and literary men.
l did not see that a mans power for
good is often magniied a hundred fold
by working from the nations heart out
ward. l see o more clearly than
once did the ultimate good to come out
of this concentration. 1t is folly to OPP
pose a tendency so swift, so sweeping
and Tin some of its aspects) so glorious
as this. If all those who love art and
learning were to unite against this mael-
strom it would proceed over their bod
les.
This paper is not to be taken as a call
to every young man of high ambition to
hasten to Newspaper row or Wall
street; quite other. | believe that both
artist and writer are likelier to do en-
during work by living for the most part
quietly in the small town or in the coun-
try. going to the metropolis as to a great
annual fair or market place. This is
indeed the tendency. The city-any
city-is destructive and distractive-
no doubt of that. 1t wears men out.
1t bleaches their faces, unnerves their
limbs, drains them of vitality. The
mere necessity of avoiding physical con
tact is an %exhausting strain. Each year
when l descend to the city from the in
violate silences of the high peaks | am
lrritated and beaten by sound and jos
tied by scurrying forms till my brain

the intellectual stimulus that comes
from contact with my fellows.

turning out first c,ass athletics Satur-
day night. Last week a wrestler,
known by the name of Mike Willard,
of New York, who is giving an OK
hibition at Sweets, offered to take on
any wrestler in town and throw him
in twenty minutes, the winner to re.
ceive $40 in gold. Saturday night
Jorgen Hanson, the ex-ohampion
bicycle rider, who lately developed
some local fame as a wrestler. took
Willard up.
At 9 O'Clock both men came out ON
the stage, shook hands and started in.
Hanson watched his chance and after
ten minutes hard work, got the double
nelson and before Willard knew what
was up, he struck the mat. The ref
cree announced that he was down.
Willard did not like this and asked
that the referee, John Larsen, be put
out. A new referee, Victor Seger-
quist was then chosen, and for the
remaining ten minutes Willard tried
to put it all we the Danish Sociable
A. O. man, but he might just as we'll

A STUDY OF SHE.
some Reflections Upon the Fair Sex
Which May Have Some Truth
for Basis,

The more we study She the more we
don't understand how it is that She is
able to twist us around her little finger
whenever She feels like it. But She
is, says London Tit-Bits.
For whom is it that in childhood's
happy days we fight with a boy three
sizes larger than ourselves, and get so
severely punished that we can't sit up
for a week? Why, for She-and She
only laughs at us for our pains.
Who is it that devours all our spare
change in the shape of sweets and flow
ers, and calls for more and gets them,
too? She.
For whom do we linger at stage-doors
with guinea bouquets, to purchase which
dom in lieu of lunch? She.
Who is it that at the railway restau-
rant deals out the soul-destroying sand
witch and the death-dealing bath bun?
IT'S She every time. If it were He we
would STAY him on the spot and glory
in the deed.
Whe accepts our hard-earned gold on
the p~retense of being a first-class cook,
and then broils u steak in a frying
pan and boils our coffee an hour? She.
Who is 1t hat accepts our theater
tickets, our suppers, our bouquets and
our devotion, and then goes off and
marries another fellow? She-and for
this we ought to forgive her a good deal.
Who, we ask, is it that when we en-
ploy her as typist spells summer with
n I'm" and February with only one
"r," and yet escapes without ~censure?
1t is She. All, yes! 1t is She.
