FiSHERMEN'S RIGHTS.
Shall They Follow Streams on Private
Property?

Denver-The Supreme Court has
been hearing arguments in the Gunn1-
son county fishing case, rising from
the Intervention of the attorney gem
erals office on behalf of the state. AT
ter the recent decision of the Supreme
Court, holding that an individual had
no right to fish in streams crossing pri-
yate property, the state complained
that it had not been given opportunity
to appear and asked leave to intervene,
which was granted.
c. d. Hayt Plat Rogers and Ralph
Talbot are acting as friends Of the
court in the matter, having volunteered
their services upon invitation, and will
submit comprehensive brief in the
case. Judge D. C. Beaman, Charles S.
Hughes and Shackelford Sprigg Of
0unnison argued in support of the pre-
vious decision. l. B. Melville. assist
ant attorney general Thomas Ward
and Ethelbert Ward argued for the
state.
Mr.. Melville, speaking for the state,
held that the constitution declares the
waters of natural stream to belong
to the public and that the Court of Ap-
peals in the Hornbeke case decided
that the fish belonged to the state. For
the reason that the waters are public
and the fish belong to the state, he
contended that fishermen should have
right to fish in the streams.
A second point was that under the
common law all streams capable of be-
ing used to float ties, etc, are termed
navigable, and other courts have held
that all persons have right to fish in
nayigable streams.
The state in its argument does not
ask that fishermen be allowed to go on
the banks of streams, and it is not con
tended that the Legislature ever in
tended they should, but only that fish
ermen have right to walk in the bed
of the stream. The matter was taken
under adYisCment

PRESIDENT TURNS OUT Assist

EvADED CIVIL SERVICE LAW
Guilty Of Fraud In Civil Service Ex-
aminations-Obstru in Every
Way the Work Of the Commission.

Washington. - President Roosevelt
on Monday removed from Office Will
liam Leib, assistant United States
treasurer at Philadelphia. for constant
and persistent violation of the civil
service law while in office"
In a formal statement issued by the
President, Mr.. Leib's removal is an
nounced. The President gave Mr.. Leib
hearing last Friday, at the request
of Senators Penrose and Knox of Penn
sylvania. Mr.. Leib submitted long
statement in answer to the charges
made against him and was supported
in his defense by Representative Pat
terson of Pennsylvania.
After careful consideration of all the
facts developed by the inquiry, the
President decided to remove Mr.. Leib
from office, it being shown according
to the statement that there was con
slant and consistent effort of your (Mr.
Leib'S parD to evade the provisions OF
the civil service law, to hamper it's
workings as far as possible and to OBJ
struct in every way the action of the
commission"
He declared that the evidence
showed fraud in the civil service eX-
aminations, the fraud in one instance
duplicating Mr.. Leibs sister. After re-
viewing the case the President con-
cluded:
Under these circumstances of per-
sistence in wrongdoing on your part it
seems to me that there Is no alter
nate but to remove you from office. You
ere accordingly hereby removed from
the position of assistant treasurer OF
the United States"
President Roosevelt's statement.
which is in the form of letter to Mr..
Leib, is as follows:
Il have carefully considered the pa
pers in your case and the statements
made by you in your behalf and by Mr..
Cooley on behalf of the Civil Service
Commission. 1t appears to me very
clear that there has been a constant
and consistent effort on your part to
evade the provisions of the civil SER
vice law, to hamper its workings as far
as possible and to obstruct in every
way action of the commission"

Union Pacific engineer in charge OF
construction work in Wyoming, after
spending several days here, has re-
turned TO Omaha on what is believed
to be an important mission. The I'm

ton a few nights ago, and in his ad-
dress he assured the people that his
company would build the road no mat
ter what action is taken by the Union
Pacific. and no matter how many com
petitive roads are built into this sec
tion.
Mr.. Chatterton also made the i'm
pOrtant announcement that the Sara

piece of the Denver, Yellowstone & Pa
cific which will be built at once from
Denver northward to Fort Collins,
thence to Encampment. thence from
Walcott to the Yellowstone park anG
on to the Pacific northwest. The en-
tire line from Denver to a point near
Lander has been surveyed and staked
and contracts for the work will be let
in the spring. In the meantime work
will be rushed on the Saratoga & En-.
Campment road. President Chatter
ton assured the people that his road
will be completed to Saratoga by April
lSt.
Residents of Saratoga and OF the
valley will donate almost all of the
land necessary for a right-of-way, and
other concessions will be given the
builders.

SAN JUAN VS.. OURAY.
County Line Contest Before State En-.
qneer Jaycox

Denver.-An Ouray special to the
Republican says: County Attorney J.
T. Barnett, Thomas Mowatt, chairman
county commissioners, and F. l.. Bid
dlecom, county surveyor, met by ap-
pointment on Saturday at Silverton
the San Juan county officials, the meet
ing having been called at the sugges-
ton Of State Engineer T. w. Jayoox,
who was present and to whom the
boundary line controversy between the
two counties had been appealed for
settlement.
The controverted territory IL a quar-
ter Of mile wide by four miles long,
contains much valuable mineral bear
ing ground Lnd lies between Brown
mountain and Mineral Point. The dis
pute is over the identification of Min.
eral creek and its junction with tho
main branch of the Uncompahgre.
Ouray insists that the stream rising
near the Polar Star mine, close to the
headwaters of the Animas and Henson
creek ccnfluent OF the Gunnison Is the
main branch OF the Uncompahgre, and
that Mineral creek heads at the town
of Mineral Point and flows into the
Uncompahgre near the Fred Smith
cabin. San Juan county contends that
the main branch of the Uncompahgre
rises at Lake Como in Poughkeepsie
gulch. and is what Ouray maintains
is Poughkeepsis creek San Juan
claims that Mineral creek is the main
branch Of the Uncompahgre Joining
the Poughkeepsie branch at the mouth
of Poughkeepsie gulch.
Mr.. Jaycox gave both sides until
February 1st to prepare evidence in
the way of affidavits, copies Of records,
maps, ETC., after which he will make
decision, and with the county survey
ors will run the line and make perma-
nent monuments. Either side being
dissatisfied within six months may ap-
peal to >he courts for = reviow of his
action.

Ingenious Engine Used by Manehes.

Ingenious Engine Used by Manehes.
ter (England) Department
A novel fire engine has recently been
constructed for the fire department
of Manchester, England, which con-
tains in addition to the usual features
of an ordinary steam fire engine
number Of additions designed to facili-
tate the operations Of the f1remen and
to provide increased safety.
The first of these is an air pump, con-
nected by gearing with the crank shaft
of the engine. which furnishes air
through flexible metallic hose to fire.
men working in dense smoke or placed
where they are subject to gas or fumes
of acids or other chemicals. This flexi-
BILE hose is connected with a protective
helmet worn by the fireman, which IL
made Of heavy leather, extending
down over the shoulders and supplied
with an opening for the eyes and upper
part Of the face. The air enters at the
back of the helmet and flows around
the face, passing out of this opening,
keeping the eyes and nose free from
smoke
The helmet contains telephone re-
ceiver and transmitter, whereby COM
munication can be maintained with the
officer at the fire engine and by means
Of a switchboard if necessary with
chief official. The engine has a small
dynamo located over the front wheels
and connected with the fywheel by
means Of belt This furnishes cur
rent for eight thirty-two candlepower
incandescent lamps through flexible
cable, SO that provided with hand
lamp fireman can penetrate dark and
smoky apartments, where 1t is neces-
sary often to cut off gas or oil supply.
The entire equipment, including the
slowed in the forward part of the fire
engine, which is Of the usual English
pattern. and adds comparatively little
to it's weight.
Protective devices Of this kind play q
more important part in the equipment
of European fire brigades than in
America, where such appliances are
not employed by the firemen to any
considerable extent, although in the
heavier apparatus and methods they
stand far in advance of British and
continental practice. Recent fires In
the United States where firemen have
been disabled temporarily by fumes Of
chemicals would indicate apparently
that there is a field for at least thor
ough test of such life saving apparatus.

The Fatal Week.

Pushed in the background every charm
With dust rag hanging on her arm,
Dead set to do the microbes harm,
The lady takes the stand.
The very picture Of distress,
She wanders in a faded dress;
We know without the second guess
House cleaning is at hand.
Oh then we long to take the train
For Timbuktu or Lake Champlain
Or somewhere on the Spanish main
Ten thousand miles away
Where no one ever calls down gloom
BY chasing with a mop and broom
And busting rag from room to room
Throughout the livelong day.
Those happy islands of the sea
Where men don't have to climb tree
Or stay out nights till after three
One week each fall and spring
Are surely islands of the blest;
No woman does her level best
To put her mans love to the test
And show him who Is king!
