THE MATTER of the division or
expense between counties for the sal
ary of water commissioners is causing
considerable trouble all over the state
Lake county is now making vigor
of the salaries of water commissioners
scattered nearly all over the state,
when the county has only 1860 acres
of grazing and hay lands and practi.
cally no agricultural lands at all
Mesa and Garfield counties have been
in "A wrangle for the past three years
over the same question which has re
Gently been settled amicably. 1t is
foolish, however, for counties to try
to repudiate these bills for the law is
against them and no matter how small
portion of a water district extends
into county, that county must pay
its pro rata share of the commission
ct = salary. D1Surlcb N ID Is almost
entirely in Routt county, small cor
ners extending into Eagle and Grand
counties with a little strip in Garfield
county where commissioner is never
called upon and yet Garfield has al
ways paid one fourth of the expense
of the entire district. 1t may not be
equity, in fact, it is not equity, but
it is law and the only way to prevent
the present practice is to amend the
law, making each county liable in
proportion to its cultivated acreage,
or better still place the appointment
of water commissioners in the hands
of the governor and pay them from
the funds of the state. Until some
such change is made county commits
sioners who refuse to pay their pro
rata of water commissioner salary |
will find the experiment anything
but profitable.

THE WAY OF THE TRANS6RESSOR

When they noticed that Mr.. Adams
surrendered the governor 5 Office with
out any show of resistance and when
they read his short statement upon his
retirement all felt like saying and
quitting the office of governor with Il
dignity beftting gentleman and gov
ernor and in line with the policy
for which Alva has always been noted
but when he emitted his final whine
last Sunday morning they realized
that they had another guess coming.
Mr.. Adams devotes himself at con
siderable length to the legislative
thieves who stole the governorship
FROM him, but has not word of
condemnation for the Denver thieves
who last November under the direc-
tion of his brother Frank stole the
governorship FOR him.
You see it makes some difference
whose OK is gored. One word from
MIR. Adams at that time would have
prevented any necessity for a contest,
would have saved the state over 300,
600 which the contest has cost, would
have saved both Adams and Peabody
the nervous strain which they have
endured for the past few months be-
sides the humiliation which both must
now feel. Verify the way of the
transgressor is hard.

THERE WERE few republicans

THERE WERE few republicans
in the joint assembly who in the con
test voted with the democrats up to
the final vote, openly giving as their
reason that Peabody had not made
good his case and they did not believe
he had been elected, but on the final
vote, after having been told that Pea
body would resign and thus make Nc
Donald governor, they cast their vote
to seat Peabody. They pretended to
be very conscientious, but what man.

q SEATTLE, Aug. 2S.-That the domestic

dunn for the spread of typhoid fever in
this city is the belief of members of the
Board of Health. and to the end that fur
ther infection from this source be stop
ped the board this afternoon adopted
stringent rules governing hospitals and
private houses where patients are con-
fined. Hereafter every building in which
patients are kept must have it's windows
well protected with screens and every
other precautien be taken to exclude and
destroy the insect.
DR.. Ludlow has been given instructions
that the order be enforced to the letter,
and noncompliance will result in arrests.
There are now eighty-six cases of ty-
phoid reported and others are coming in
daily. Deaths from the disease are nu-
merous, and the members of the board
are alarmed over the situation.
z In no other way can the spread of sick
ness TO all parts of the city be explained
than from the supposiuon that house
flies are the cause, and toward house
flies, therefore Will the attention of the
health officers be directed for some time

ACTOR HANLE
PASSES AWAY
IN THE SOUTH

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2S.-Lawrence
Hanley; once. one of the most noted
actors on the American Stage and who
at one time had a future which in
promise was second to none in his pro-
fession, died this evening at the County
Hospital, where he was practically a
charity patient Drink, morphine and
dissipation rendered him an easy vic
tim of tuberculosis and for more than
year It had been known that the end
was rapidly approaching.
That he lived so long was a matter
of surprise to those who knew the pace
which Hanleyo went as long as he was
able to keep on his feet. A confirmed
dope fiend, possessed of a thirst for
liquor which was amazing, he went to
extremes whenever he had the money
with which to satisfy his cravings.
Several times he had been arrested as a
common drunk and not for more than
year had he occupied anything like
the plane of responsibility to which
his genius entitled him.
The closing hours of his life were
marked by an incident Of unusual path
os. Ten years ago Hanley married
Edith Lammert, an actress of ability.
A daughter was born to them and for
two years they lived together. Then
the wife discovered that her husband
drank to excess and was guilty of
other things more serious to a wife
than even drunkenness He attacked
iier murderously one night IN Cincin-
natl and she left him and until Sunday
had not seen him again. She chaneed
to be in Los Angeles and on Sunday
she received word that Hanley was
dying and in his delirium was calling
for her. Forgiving all the wrongs he
had done her, she went to his bedside
and, taking his wasted body in her
arms, tried to make him know that
despite the lapse of years she still
loved him. Less than twenty-four
hours later he died and his last words
were blessing upon the woman he had
so greatly wronged.
Friends in the profession and others
will pay for the funeral, which will be
as devoid of display as 1t is possible to
make It,,
Hanleys during the most successful part
of his career, was associated with Law
renee Barrett, Edwin Booth, Stuart Rob-
son and Nat Goodwin.

Question of HankOw Railway
Concession Becomes OF
international Importance
MUCH DEPENDS ON 1t
Japan's Hand Is Seen and
Russia Views Presidents
Attitude With Suspicion
MUCH DEPENDS on 1T
special Dispatch to The Can.

OYSTER BAY. Aug. 2s-With the
visit Of J. P. Morgan 10 Sycamore Hill
to-day the question of the Hankow
Railway concession in China enters a
new phase, world d-wide in its impor-
tance.
From 4 mere financial enterprise IN
which American and Belgium stock
holders were interested, the surrender
OF this concession has become the key
stone Of the political policy of China
on IL depends not only the role Amer
lea is to play in the commercial de-
velopment of the Far East, but the linn
itations OF Japan's influence in Peking
when the present war has been brought
10 an end. Behind il IS now clearly
seen the hand of Japan. There is little
doubt that Japan was behind China in
her original offer to buy the Hankow
concession Japan is anxious. to OBJ
tain control of the Southern Chinese
railways as Russia did in Manchuria-
When President Roosevelt took de-
cisive steps TO protect the interests in
volved in the sale of the railway,
China, through her Minister, Sir Cheng
Lang Chang, offered a compromise,
suggesting joint control OF the finished
railway by China. Japan and the Unit
ed States, the last named furnishing
the capital This proposition has not
been accepted, but the negotia tions are
still pending. This plan, however, has
become known in Russia and has ex-
cited indignation.
II is unfortunate that while Presi-
dent Roosevelt is acting as mediator
between Russia and Japan the United
States should be placed in the light of
making secret deals for Chinese con-
cessions with a victorious belligerent.
Yet this impression has been freely cir
cUlated in Official circles in Russia.
The President has been informed
through Embassador Meyer of the at
titude of Russians, which was recently
verified by the Novoe Vremya
Such a plan places America in the
position Of being in a commercial al
lance with the power that has become
predominant in China. From a Rus
sian point of view it gives a most
selfish look to President RooseveIt's s
earnest and impartial efforts for peace.

D. c., his wife and their guide were
knocked senseless yesterday. A rescue
party from Cloud Cap Inn, alarmed at
their long absence, climbed the long,

ing crash knocked all three to tho ground.
When the guide attempted to arise he
was knocked down again. A heavy snow
storm was sweeping the peak at the time.
Only few weeks ago visitors to the
summit found that the Mountain Climb
