f. H. Newell, United States geolo
gical surveyor. has this to say of Col
orado: Colorado is the greatest
mining state, but the proceeds from
the small irrigation area in Colorado
are already more valuable than the
gold and silver produced. The area
of land that can be reclaimed by irri
CATION is relatively small. but if ? or
per cent of the vast area of arid land
is ultimately reclaimed and put under
cultivation it will mean a population
in the western half of the United
States almost as great as that now in
the eastern half of the country.
The story told by the visitors book
at the Denver headquarters of the Co

M ittee shows the good results already

LEACH DENIES 1T.
Says That He Didn't Agree Not to
Play Caldwell.

The st. MaryS management has given
out a statement accusing Washburn Of
bad faith, and refusing to play the post
season football game which Washburn
proposed. 1t is unfortunate that this
should have occurred, as the Washburn
athletic management now declares that
it will have nothing further to do with
ST. Marys in an athletic way.
Manager Leach of Washburn said to-
day: In regard to the st. Marys
statement, charging us with violating
our agreement, 1 will simply say this:
that we never agreed not to use Ca!d-
we'll in the game; that the allegations
made by ST. Marys are utterly false;
that we did not negotiate with Manhat-
tan for the game today In place OF St
Marys until after Prof H. l. WoocF OF
Washburn returned from st. Marys
Wednesday night after vainly trying to
reach an understanding with Father
McCabe of ST. Marys, and after Prof.
Woods had notified Father McCae
that it would be utterly contrary to the
principles of Washburn to draw any
color line in the make up OF its team
We offered to play a post season game
without Caldwell, simply 10 try to pre-
serve harmony with st. Marys. Cald-
well is perfectly willing to be left out
of the St. Marys game, but we stand
by him as a matter of principle.

DEBS WILL HAVE 600.
Socialist Received More Votes in
Shawnee Than Anticipated.

The official canvass of the Shawnee
county vote is progressing slowly, ow-
ing to the large ballot and many tick
cts. The count SO far of the country
precincts only shows no great changes.
The greatest difference shown by
the official canvass on any close con-
test is between Kelly and Dolan in
Shunganunga precinct, where the first
report gave Kelly 112 votes and Dolan
1O7, while the official count gives KEEL
ly 127 votes and Dolan 1872, a gain of
1 5 for Kelly and a gain of Is for Do
Ian. In the same precinct the count
gives Hoch more votes and Roosevelt
l more vote than the first report. In
Oakland the judges in the tabulated
report gave Wheatley, for railroad
commissioner, 342 votes, and the Off
cial count gives him 242. The same
precinct gives Dolan 224 votes on the
official count. The unofficial returns
gave Dolan 22S, a loss of for Dolan.
In Belleview precinct the unofficial
returns gave Kelly 81 votes and the
canvass shows he received 81, a loss
of 10 for Kelly.
The vote on Debs, Socialist candi-
date for president, will be larger than
was anticipated, and will probably run
in the country about $50 to 800. In
Richland precinct Debs received 81
votes, Roosevelt 60 and Parker 80.
Hoch received IS votes for governor,
Dale 81 and Lowther, the Socialist
candidate none. Richland voters did
a deal of scratching, for they gave
Kelly 4S and Dolan "A. The indica-
tions are that Debs received about 900
votes in Shawnee county, including the
city of Topeka.

MICHIGAN SHOULD WIN.
General Opinion of the Result of the
Game With Chicago.

Ann Arbor, Nov. 12.-Michigan and
Chicago meet today and before an
other "a hours have passed it will have
been definitely decided which eleven
will be able to claim the champion
ship of the west. To Michigan a vic
tory means another unbeaten eleven
and probably a clear title to the grid
iron honors of the west. To Chicago
it is an opportunity to redeem itself
for the Thanksgiving game of last year
and to raise itself again to the position
it occupied in 1899.
The feeling of the Michigan team is
one of confidence; that of the Chicago
players one of uncertainty and doubt,
but one of determination. There is
plenty of Michigan money to be placed
at odds ranging from to L to 8 to
on the final score.
Greatly Outweighed in the line, pos
sessing no stars such as make up the
opposition, 1t seems impossible to
many that Chicago has even d chance
to win. And yet, to those who saw
the splendid work of the Maroons in
the Northwestern game, the compact
interference and perfect team work OF
the Midway eleven, the chances of the
Maroons seem much better than they
have for the last few seasons. Chi
cago's team is aggressive, it works well

City. A mass meeting of Leavenworth
citizens was held, at which General
Ewing was denounced. Mayor An
thony was released the next day and
was rendered a reception on his re-
turn. In a speech he said, among
other things: yesterday was brutal
ly arrested and marched out of town
with two thieves at my side, followed
by soldiers with cooked revolvers
pointed at my back. Tonight return
to Leavenworth, my home, escorted by
a committee of your best and most
loyal citizens. Yesterday martial law
reigned in Leavenworth, today it is
scattered to the four winds of heaven;
we are triumphant, the thieves who
had me in arrest left in a hurry Had
General Ewing made the same haste
when he left here in pursuit of
Quantrell, with his enemy in front,
that his detectives and soldiers made
on an imaginary foe in the rear,
Quantrell would not have escaped
from the butchery at Lawrence with
impunity.''
The mayor at this period acted as
police judge, and Colonel Anthony gave
all the Missouri border ruffians," as
they were called, a touch of high life"
On one occasion a wealthy MiSsourian
came over and purchased a quantity of
powder and lead, which was captured
by the detectives as the old man was
next morning the MiSSourian was fined
800 on general principles and for va
grancy.' The Missourians would take
a shot at Colonel Anthony at every op-
portunity in the way of showing their
hatred.

Immediately upon your inauguration,
to have a thorough and complete ex-
animation made of all the state de-
partmentS- 1 am very glad of this,
because I know that a searching and
honest and careful examination will
be made of the state treasury during
the four years, from 1899 to 1903, that
i held the Office of state treasurer. As
a county officer for four years in-Wich-
ita county, and also as a representa-
tive for four years from the same
county, and as state treasurer for four
years, I never had, to my knowledge,
any reflections cast upon my integrity
as an official. However, during the
recent campaign, while no charges
were made against me, there were in
direct reflections and inSinuatiOnS upon
me an official. 1 owe it to my fam
lily and to my friends and to the peo-
pie of the state of Kansas and to my
self that a complete examination be
made which will eXonerate me in the
eyes of the world.
MY chara is more to me than
anything else in the world. / have
always tried to maintain it, and
know that it will be completely exon
Grated by a thorough examination.
know that no county officer, no rep
reSentative, no state officer or clerk,
can or will say that have been any,
thing but perfectly honest in my Of
fetal duties.
Il will gladly render you any as
sistance that 1 can to aid you in a
complete examination of the state
treasury. Very truly,

Colonel Anthony's last appearance in
a political convention was in the First
district congressional convention in
Holton last February. At that time he
was nearly eighty years old, but he an
nounced his determination to sit in the
convention or know the reason why.
During the convention he made a
speech denouncing Congressman Cur
tbs. 1t was at this convention that d.
R. Anthony, jr., was nominated in op-
position to Mr.. Curtis but the contest
board decided that Curtis nomination
was the legal one
Colonel Anthony first came to Kan
Sas in 1854. After spending some time
here he returned to New York and
told stories about Kansas which
aroused interest in the east, and in
1857 Anthony came back to Kansas
to remain permanently.
From the time he first landed here
in 1854 he began to write for the New
York Tribune, edited by Horace Gree
ley, and other eastern papers, and this
led to his becoming an editor himself.
His first venture in running a news
paper was when he started the Leav-
enworth Conservative in January,
1861. The first issue contained the
news of the admission of Kansas as a
state into the Union, and he carried a
bundle of papers in person on horse
back to Lawrence to inform the ter
ritorial legislature then in session at
that place. Colonel Anthony bought

Colonel Anthony'S political career has
been long one and began early in his
life in Kansas. During recent years he
has given way to his son, d. r. An
thony, jr., who has succeeded him as
an active leader in Leavenworth poll
tics. Colonel Anthony's political career
can be summed up as follows: Nomi-
mated for the legislature twice and
elected once; nominated for mayor of
Leavenworth seven times and elected
three times; appointed postmaster of
Leavenworth five times, serving six
teen years; came within few votes Of
receiving the Republican nomination
for governor during the eighties. He
was a delegate to practically all of the
Republican state conventions, up to the
last two or three, in which has son has
succeeded him, and he was chairman of
the state central committee during
number of campaigns. Three times he
was presidential e1ector in Kansas.

BROKE BOTH LEGS.
Harry Nystrom Seriously Hurt at
Santa F'e Shops.

Harry Nystrom, a painter in the
Santa Fe shops, had both his legs
broken in an accident in the tool room
of the shops this forenoon.
Nystrom was painting the ceiling of
the room and accidentally allowed his
trousers to catch in the betting and the
pulley on one of the shafts used for
turning the machinery. His clothing
did not tear and consequently he was
swung around several times by the mo
tion of the shaft. The machinery was
stopped as soon as possible but when
he was taken down it was discovered
that the bones in both legs were
broken
He is now in the Santa Fe hospital
where he is reported to be getting along
nicely. He will not lose either of his
legs. He will, however, be required to
remain in the hospital a considerable
length of time.
