CoIorado's Big Storm.

Denver, April 25.-The storm of Sun
day and Monday was felt throughout
many western and southern states, but
in no state was it as severe as 1t was
in Colorado. In Denver the storm dam
fic on street railroads and made the
roads in parts of the city so impossible
that the5Humane Society was forced to
issue orders that horses be not used
until some of the moisture had seeped
away. Local telephone and telegraph
wires were tangled and broken by this
weight of heavy. clinging snow, and
electric communication in residences
and business houses was cut off.
The storm, which continued fiercely
all Easter day and night, made it diff
ficult to attend church services and
made the Easter bonnet droop its
proud plumage in disappointment.
Throughout the state, great damage
was done by the storm. Railroad traf-
fic was delayed. Washouts were threat
ened and serious landslides occurred
on the Rio Grande in the Royal Gorge
and at other points on other lines.
Telephone communication was cut off
with Pueblo, Trinidad, Florence, Canon
City and Cripple Creek.
In Trinidad the storm spent its fierc-
est force. Much Of the repair work on
ruins of the recent flood was again
washed out, and another flood is feared.
Water mains were torn away and
wires broken down, leaving the bust
ness section of the city without light
or water.

$50,0O0,0O0.
The majority of the stock will be
owned by the Denver & Rio Grande

uies.
w. l.. Bartlee, who has been presi-
dent of the road, will resign and be
succeeded by E. T. jeffrey, president
of the Denver & Rio Grande, who will
assume the active management.
A traffic alliance between the West
ern Pacific, the Denver & Rio Grande
and the Rio Grande Western practi-
cally guarantees the bonds Of the new
road, as it is considered that the bust
ness brought to it by the two allied
roads will be sufficient to pay interest
on the securities.
The Western Pacific has terminal
in Oakland whose extent is 142 acres.
The land has been acquired during the
last four years.
The work of construction will be
begun right away 1t will be under

suffering from dysentery, accompanied
by severe pains. All the officers and
crews of the Russian ships appeared
to be full of confidence.
Although the Russian crews were
confident of victory. independent OBJ
servers who got near enough to Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's warships to be
able to inspect them were not unant-
nous regarding the efficiency of the
squadron.
1t ia believed here that it is Ad-

everything possible to have Admiral
Nebogaton join him before undertake
ing a decisive battle.
A torpedo boat destroyer is patrol-
ling the coast. The French third class
cruiser Descartes left here at O'Clock,
Saturday afternoon, for point on the

provides that it will be unlawful for
any person to loiter about the streets
or highways leading to any place of
business for the purpose of influencing
others not to trade with or work for
any other person or corporation, or to
picket the place Of business of any
other person or corporation for the
purpose of obstructing or interfering
with any lawful business work or en-
terprise.
Another section of the act makes it
unlawful to boycott or to publish any
notice of boycott against any firm
any judicial officer or other public
officer because of any official act or
decision of such officer.
Still another section makes it un-
lawful for employers to maintain black
lists, with proviso, however, that

repealed during the administration of
Governor Orman. The bill is closely
modelled after similar act which was
passed several years ago in the state

great change in removing from labor
controversies much bitterness and vio-
lence. It is predicted by the persons
who were sponsors for the bill that it
will be great step toward Industrial
peace in Colorado and rapidly lead to
