Narrow Escape from Death

Bert Roth, a Colorado Midland fire.
man, had a strange experience on
Wednesday evening which but for a
miracle would have resulted in his
death. Going west on freight train
Roth was doing some work about the
engine which had stopped on the big
bridge just this side of Debeque. The
torch which Roth carried was in some
manner snufted out and Roth stun
bled in the darkness and fell off the
bridge, landing in about four feet of
water so feet below
His associates rushed down the en-
bankment expecting to find the man
gled and llfeless remains of Roth. only
TO be met by the gurgling and splash
ing of the fellow VINO was trying to
avoid drowning.
The water had served as cushion
and prevented his being dashed to
pieces He was taken to the station
and made as comfortable as possible
until Rio Grande No. 6 came along
when he was brought to Glepwood
and placed under the care of the com
pany physician. DR.. Crook.
He was taken to the Glenwood san
itarium where it was found that his
spine was quite badly wrenched but
this was the only injury aside from
some superficial bruises which will
not give him much trouble. At this
writing he is recovering rapidly.

AMONG OTHER GOOD THINGS.

The constitution, the code and ira.

of Oregon in the frequency and multipl-
city Of elections. 1t is time amend.
ments were being pushed forward for
the mitigation of what is really an
evil in more ways than one. The elee-
toral latitude should be reduced as
fast as time will permit the adjudica.
tion, until the national, state, munich
pal. school and district electionsshall all
fall ON the first Monday in June. The
year 1906 is an apt period for begin
ming crusade for relief from the bur-
den of constant and annoying friction,
for nearly all the cities will be prepar-
ing charter amendments for oonsidera-
tion in the coming legislature and
there ought to be a general movement
throughout the State in this behalf.
As electoral conditions are at present,
the people have no rest from the de.
mands that cannot be negatived nor
ignored without an Impeachment Of
local spirit and good citizenship. Flee
tions are all right, are very necessary.
but they are too numerous; they dis
turb business, and agitate and unsettle
communities. besides involving the var
ious governmental elements in far
greater expense than is necessary.
There is everything to urge a revision
in this matter. and il is hoped the
charter commission Of this city. and
all others similarly engagef in revising
and amending the laws incident to elec.
tions will bear In mind tae express adj
vantage OF merging The whole system
under one. uniform, electoral date.
