Some people believed that, because
we had an extremely late spring. we
would have continued cool weather
all summer. They are being unde-
ceived.
Appalling is the only word that
expresses the horrible accident to the
Twentieth Century Limited on the
Lake Shore railroad. Devil incar-
nate. the only expression to describe
the man or being who would deliber-
ately turn a switch with intent to
wreck the train and hurry into eter-
nifty the sleeping and innocent pas
sengers. What sort of a mind such
devil possesses. that could turn a
switch TO wreck a train, it would be
impossible to imagine. The excess
of punishment should be given man
or the men that would deliberately
plan such an awful catastrophe. To
inflict the rack, the thumb screw
the wheel, the tortures of the inqui-
sition to such beings openly and pub
licly would not measure to one-half
the punishment deserved.

We saw in the list of those pres
0 tuN at lllt dlitl sun udniutN III lJtAA-
yer the name of that gentleman who
l failed to lead the democratic hosts of
| Mesa county to victory last fall
! Captain NOble,-who by virtue of his
! election is still doubtless the county
| chairman Neither hide nor hair of
| the redoubtable captain has been
/ seen in this city since the day follow
] ing the eelction. What became of
! him so suddenly no one appears to
] l.. l.. -
| light at the free feed. Well. when
we want war horses of the type of
Noble to lead us again we will send
out a delegation to bring them in.
| We played as suckers last fall, and
we hope to be able to have sufficient
to get out of that class at the forth
coming campaign next year. 1t re-
| quires just as much ability to con-
duct a campaign as it does a legit-
innate business. There are some
strange rumors floating around anent
/ the captain. which he ought to come
down and refute, if nothing else.

The Colorado State Commercial
Association, the new body organized
at Colorado Springs, passed resolu-
| tions that IL was the sense of that
body that state normal school
should be established in the extreme
southwestern part of the state a
memorial to the Legislature will be
made in accordance with the resolu-
/ ton Now, we don't know where
that body means exactly by the south
western portion of the state. but sup
| pose it to be in or about Durango be
cause that city has been selected as
/ the place of the first meeting next
| year, and some sort of sop was TO
| be given that section. So far as we
are concerned, il matters not what
/ the new Commercial Association may
/ do. As for us we shall continue to
/ fight for the normal to be located at
/ the most logical point in western
/ Colorado-Grand Junction. We were
in the fight before the realty associa-
tion thought of the matter and we
hardly know what business it is of
theirs to designate a locality for the
normal school, as they are not par
| ticularly the Interested parties. That
new association had better start of
on the right foot, instead of becom-
! ing entangled in local affairs 1t
will do well if it will sell realty and
attend to other matters within the
purview of the association.

All of the money appropriated for
the maintenance of the Colorado ex-
hibit at the Portland exposition has
/ been spent or appropriated for debts
| that must be paid. One of the items
I is maintaining house in Portland
/ for Colorado visitors. This necessi-
tates the employment of housekeep-
ers. maids. cooks. etc, etc. What
in the world such an establishment
/ should be maintained we cannot see.
Such an institution was maintained
at the Worlds Fair and few plug
| gers and parasites We're the only
| ones that received any benefit from
the maintenance of such an estab-
1 lishment. Some few hundred people
did doubtless visit the St. Louis Col
orado house, but merely as a per-
functory act and then they just called
and rested. A. w. Hogle draws fat
salary of $3.50 month and S100 for
expenses. and all the other commits
sioners receive fat salaries. One of
the commissioners has appropriated
$3.50 for his travelling expenses to
and from Portland In other words,
the state is paying about three prices
for one in everything which is being
done to represent this state at Port
land. and we find that this is pretty
generally the case in any public
work. People seem to think that if
they are working for the public ad-
ministration they must get of with
as little work as possible.

There may be a deal of truth in
what has been charged by Tom Law
sen regarding The management OF
The great life Insurance companies if
late Developments are the truth. and
We have no reason to doubt them. in
fact they have been proven by the
internal wars that have ragged in
these companies. In nutshell. the f.

Sage. none of the multimillionaires I
have any large amount of ready mon .

make their deals. The secret is out.
The money has come from the great
reserve funds of the Insurance com
