Two SI5FS To TRE
COLORADO MATTER

Washington, January 2.--tspecial. 1.-The
situation in Colorado is considerably diff
ferent than the presentations In the
Eastern newspapers. They say that the
election in November, so far as they
were concerned, was the fairesl the State
has known for years.
1t was an open boast by Reprbh-
cans that the State was to be carried
by any means, legal or illegal. Accord
ing to the same authorities the Republic
cans actually spent over 100000 In the
campaign, purchasing voters and election
Judges by the Wholesale and leaving moth
ing undone TO assure a heavy majority.
The Republicans returned their election
expenses as $4,000. 1t is also claimed
that the discovery of alleged frauds on
an extensive scale was a surprise to
Democratic candidates and Democratic
workers. The ballot boxes. said to have
been stuffed for the Democratic candi-
dates were In the sole custody of Re-
publicans for two or three days.
AS Democrats tell 1t, certain of these
Republican custodians were among the
most notorious Republican ward work.
of the State came to pass upon the cases
Instead of throwing out the fraudulent
ballots, which could have been done
easily, they threw out the votes of the
entire precincts. 1t Is well known that
the kernel of the bitter contention in
Colorado Is control of the State Supreme
Court, two new judges of which under
a recent authorization, are to be re-
appointed.
Peabody Could Make Appointments.
The mine owners and other large In
terests i'll conflict with the miners has
this power on their side. 1t has been
suggested to Governor Peabody that if
he should appoint those two judges and
then retire in favor of Governor Adams
the latter would be allowed to take his
seat. By the decisions of the Supreme
Court the Republicans have been given
a majority in the State Senate, and Gov
ernor Peabody's nominations for the ju-
dietary could be speedily confirmed,
But Governor Peabody is unwilling to
assume such authority holding that it
would be evident usurpaton on his part.
1t is not thought that the Republican ma
jority in the Legislature can be disturbed
even If Governor Adams is eventually
inaugurated. The prospective action be-
fore the Supreme Court here in Wash
ington will be for the purpose If possible
of proving that the state Supreme Court
has exceeded its jurisdiction and that
the numerous citizens thrown into jail
for contempt are Illegally detained. Con-
ditions in the State are described as worse
than in Kentucky during the Goebel
trouble. Considerable anxiety is felt lest
there be a serious outbreak before the
new State government is fully estab-
lished.

NEWEST THING IN TENEMENTS
GIFT OF HENRY PHlPPS
From Denver Times

Under the provision of the ~s1,OOO,OOO gift by Henry
Phipps, the Pittsburg steel millionaire, plans have been
filed for the first of the new model tenements to be erect.
ed in New York. Some of the specifications are remark
able and a decided innovation. It is provided that there
shall be no ianitors or janitor service, but there shall be
kindergartens in the cellars, perambulator rooms on the
first floors dnd garbage Moderation plants in each build
ing. There shall be roof gardens with weekly or semi
monthly concerts, playing fountains in the archways of
the inner courts, hygienic l~aundries, heating apparatus
of the most modern kind, electric lights and air coolers
and huge fresh water tanks of 10000 gallons capacity on
each roof.
All rooms shall be large and sanitary, with a shower
bath to each family, and the maximum rental shall be
SIS per month. The first building to be erected will con
tain three t%enements, to cost $22b,0O0. The restrictions
against children in vogue in most cities will be an I'M
heard of thing, and in the kindergartens competent teach
es will be provided TO instruct the children. Race, color
or nativity will be no bar, as the Phipps tenements will
be open to ALI
According to the report made by the tenement house
commissioner in concluding his Investigations Of the
years 1902 and 1903, there are nearly 100000 people liv-
ing in tenements in the borough of Manhattan alone.
This does not include the many thousands in Brooklyn.
OF these nearly half pay more than SO a month for
accommodations as. utterly different and unequal to those
offered in the coming model tenements as the mansion
of the Fifth avenue millionaire exceeds the meager apart
ments of the most humble Of workmen.
In erecting the tenements in Thirty-first street the
trustees of the Phipps donation will pay as much atten-
ton to the outer construction and beauty of the struc-
lures as to the interior decorations and provisions for
comfort.
Perhaps none of the philanthropic milionaires have
given their money in channels where so great good will
be accomplished as in the line chosen by Mr.. Phipps. A
long time ago it was said by General Booth of the Saliva
ton Army that very early in his work he ascertained
that it was necessary to feed mems bodies before feed
ing their minds or souls. And while the proper housing
of men and women cannot be called feeding their bodies,
1t yet constitutes a substantial part of lettering their
material condition.

RIBBONERS RETURN
From a Most Successful Con-
ventiOn Held at Las
Vegas.
CHRISTIAN WOMEN AT WORK

Mrs. NJ. J. Borden, Mrs. Ada Nor
ley and Mrs. G. e. Wilson returned
last evening from Las Vegas, where
they have been in attendance upon
the eighteenth annual convention of
the New Mexico Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. In point of inter-
est, the ladies affirm that the conven-
ton was one of the best ever held in
New Mexico.
A most cordial welcome from the
citizens and press of Las Vegas greet
ed the convention from start to finish,
and many special couitesles wa-e ex.
tended the delegates in attendance.
Rev. w. w. Ravens, of the National
Anti-Saloon league, was present at
Several of the sessions, and expressed
a deep appreciation of the aims and
efforts of the organization. He said
That without any doubt, the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union stands
for the highest, truest and best in
every condition Of human life, above
any other reform organization of all
time.
The presidents address was ION.
coded to be one of her best efforts,
with a broad and intellectual grasp
OF moral and economic conditions, and
was printed in full in the Daily Optic.
Mrs. Morley spoke to a large audi
ence on Sunday evening on the sub
ject of Humane Work" which was
greatly appreciated by all present.
Several excellent papers were read
during the convention on various de-
partments of the work, Equal Fran
chise," by Mrs. Wilson, being excep-
tionally good.
For several months the white ribbon
ers have been working for a crusade
against gambling, and the convention
resolved TO ask the coming national

CONGRESSMEN

The iunketing congressman have come and gone;
they have given Tucson a short visit; they have discov-
cred that southern Arizona is a big country; that it is a
rich country; that it has a stirring population of indie
pendent thinking people. They also learned that the
people of southern Arizona are divided on the statehood
question. They discovered that many people who, while
they prefer single or joint statehood, that they much pre-
fer Joint statehood to no statehood at all. They discover.
ed quite a number of very substantial citizens who pre-.
ferred joint statehood 10 even single statehood. Thus
indicating to them that people of Arizona did not run in
droves before a political whip or follow the lead of any
presumptuous, selfconstituted political leader.
Col. Frank Murphy has done the territory a service
and the country a service in bringing this party to Ari-
Zona, who have discovered that things are not altogether
as represented by a very few political FOUNDERS; that our
people, as a rule, are for statehood; that they want home
rule and they want it bad enough to accept the very best
terms congress will give us, be it single or joint.
This visit will be productive of very much good. 1t
will have a tendency to get the facts before the country
in better shape than heretofore. 1t will also have a ten
dency to hasten the determination of the statehood ques-
ion-Tucson Star.

ing of the grand lodge, is one of the
enthusiastic joint statehood advocates
of the southern part of New Mexico,
and judging from what Mr.. Walton
says about his district, there are many
more equally as enthusiastic in favor
ing Joint statehood as he is.
Regarding the feeling of the people
of his district, Mr.. Walton said;
1T is absolutely safe to say that
fully ninety per cent of the people OF
Grant county are in favor OF joint
statehood, and do not believe that il
would be = an exaggeration to place
such number at n~inety-five per cent.
This is not only the situation in Grant
county, but applies to Luna and other
counties of the southwestern portion
of the territory. So strong is the SEN
timent in Grant county, that there has
been organized a joint statehood lea
que, which has among its members all
of the leading business and profession
al men. 1t would be idle for me to at
tempt a discussion of the reasons for
this movement, as they are apparent
to every thinking man. Grant county,
as you know, is situated directly
across the territorial line from Ora
ham county, ARIZONA. | have had oc-
casion to discuss the situation with
several residents of that county, and
from such information, it is my opin-
ion that the feeling against jointure
in the neighboring territory is mo- so
radical as pictured in the territorial
press, at least in the eastern part of
Arizona"

Eighty million dollars in gold is an imposing sum for
a nation to produce in a single year, yet the output of
yellow metal sinks into insignificance when ranged along,
side the value of crops which the tillers of the soil are
preparing TO place on the worlds markets. Last year the
combined value of the wheat, cotton and corn crops was
approximately S2,50OOO0O00. Added to this was the hay
crop, valued at more than 500,000,O00 the oats crop
worth half as much; a yield Of potatoes representing
$lSO'OOO,OOO, besides barley, tobacco and rye and flaxseed

SOME STORIES WISE

Trout Pulls Bow In.

Trout Pulls Boy In.
Edgar Hager, a twelve year old boy, anne near los
ing his life while fishing in the Truskee river near here
youngster hooked an immense rainbow trout in an unex-
pected manner. The big fish Immediately gave battle,
actually pulling the boy into the turbulent stream.
The young fisherman was pulled down the stream,
finally striking a whirlpool, which landed him under the
bow of a willow tree which he grasped. In this position
he kept himself above water with one hand and with the
other held on to the fish line until he tired the fish, and
with his prize dragged himself to shore.
The trout weighed in the neighborhood of 10 pounds,
the largest rainbow captured in the Truckee in many
years. The Hagar boy will not tip the scales at sixty
pounds.
