FOR HIS BALANCE

The Home Investment company, of
which Glen Miller is the manager, has
been one of the heaviest purchasers of
the wild animal bounty certificates. Mr..
Miller purchased during recent months
upward of $4,000 worth Of these certif-
Gates. They were filed with the state
auditor in time to get part of the
$4,000 allowed by the legislature for
last year. OF the $1,000 about 81, 300 was
collected. For the balance there will
be a wait until the present legislature

deficit.

WILL DROP TREATIES
BECAUSE OF THE AMENDMENTS
President Will Let Arbitration Trea-
ties Die Rather Than Indorse
the Senate's Action.

Washington, Feb. 14.-President
Roosevelt will not present the arbitra-
tion treaties, as amended by the Sem
ate. to the countries with which they
were negotiated. In reply to numer-
GUS inquiries by representatives of the
press at the State Department yester-
day, Secretary Hay made in substance
the following statement:
''The President regards the matter
Of the general arbitration treaties as
concluded by the action of the Senate
Saturday. He recognizes the right of
the Senate to reject treaty, either by
a direct vote in that sense, or indi-
rectly by changes which are incOmpat
ible with it's spirit and purpose. He
considers that with the Senate
amendment the treaties not only
cease to be a step forward in the
cause of general arbitration, but are
really a step backward, and therefore
he is unable to present them In this
altered form to the countries with
which we have been in negotiation"
The treaties amended and ratified by
the Senate Saturday were sent to the
President yesterday. Each treaty was
accompanied by the usual resolution
setting forth the action taken by the
Senate.
The vote of 50 to in favor of the
adoption of the amendment to the
treaties does not give the full strength
of the Senate on the question of in
sisting upon its prerogatives in treaty
making. There were five pairs re-
corded, but in each case it was stated
by the senator announcing his. pair
that he believed if his pair were pres
ent he would vote for the amendment
There seemed to be a lack of inform
alton as to whether general pairs COW
cred the subject of amendment to
treaties, and on that account number
of senators refrained from voting. Sen
ator Alice, who was recorded as voting
for the amendment, was not present.
His name was confused with that OF
Senator Alger, who was present and
voted for the amendments.
The pairs recorded were Depew and
McEnery, Proctor and Mallory. Clark
of Arkansas and Millard, Pettus and
Crane, and Simmons and Clapp. No
record was made, however. as to the
manner these senators. would have
voted.
The treaties were received at the
White House yesterday. and following
the usual procedure they will be re-
corded and forwarded to the State De-
partment. They will be sent to the IL
brarian, where in accordance with the
statement issued by Secretary Hay,
they will remain.

Kansas OIL Fight.

Topeka. Kan. Feb. 13.-The people
of Kansas are aroused as never before

of the Standard Oil Company in shut

Thousands OF letters from over the

DEATH IN SN0WSLIDE
TWO MEN LOST NEAR slLvERroN
Miners Caught and Carried to Their
Death While Out snowshoeIns
Near Their Cabin.

Denver, Feb. 13.-A Republican spe
cial from Silverton last night says:
The first fatal snowslide of the win
ter occurred this afternoon in the vi
cinity of the Irene mine, on Cement
creek, about seven miles from Silver
ton. Two Austrian miners, Peter Casa
granda and Rudolfo Sarchleti, lost
their lives in a tragic manner, their
bodies being buried under tons OF
snow and debris where they probably
will remain until spring, when the
mentfng OF the snow bring them to
view.
Sarchleti and the Casagranda broth
ers, Daniel and Peter, were leasing on
the Irene mine and lived In a cabin a
short distance away. This afternoon.
having rigged up some snowshoes, Pc
ter Casagranda and Sarchleti went out
on the mountain side to engage in the
exhilarating sport of snowshoeing,
while Daniel Casagranda stood in the
door as spectator. Without warning
the whole side of the mountain sud
denly seemed to start downward and
before the men could realize what was
taking place they were caught in a
snowslide several hundred feet across
and carried like straws down the
mountain to their doom.
They were seen to throw up their
hands and make desperate efforts to
escape from the slide, but in a moment
were covered by snow from far above
and disappeared from sight. The slide
rushed half mile down the mountain
into the gulch below and was only
stopped by the mountain on the other
side. The outer edge of the slide as it
rushed along caught the cabin and COM
pletely demolished it, leaving Dan
Casagranda buried In the ruins, from
which he was rescued uninjured by
other men who had been working in
an adjacent mine.
Search was instituted for the buried
men, but the extent of the slide was
so great and the distance it ran so far
that 1t was like seeking the proverbial
needle in haystack. The only trace
of the unfortunate victims which was
discovered was the coat of one, which
was found near where the men were
when the avalanche started. The
search for the bodies was continued
until dark, but with no success, and 1t
is doubtful If they will be found before
the snow leaves in the spring.
The men killed were about twenty
five years of age. both single. They
had lived and worked in the district
several years and were well known
and respected as Woodworking and
honest miners. They had been leasing
on the Irene mine since the holidays.
