GOOD ROADS LEGISLATION
Demanded by Colorado Roads conven-
tion at Denver.

Denver=Before the Good Roads
conference closed Thursday five men
had been appointed a committee on
legislation tolobby in the Sixteenth Cen
eral Assembly for the passage of an
act creating a highway commission;
a draft of bill creating such a com
mission and defining its powers had
been submitted and approved; the en-
Iployment of state prisoners, prefer.
ably TRUSTEES" on road work had
been indorsed: various other measures
had been suggested as worthy of con-
sideration and approval by the body,
and preparations had been made to
conduct an energetic campaign in the
direction of securing favorable action
by the Legislature and the rapid i'm
provement of the highways of Colo
RADIO.
The committee on legislation con-
sists of S. A. Osborn, Denver, chair
man; ]. F. Kyle, Montrose; Charles W.
Bowles, Littleton; ]. Y. Munson, Lari-
mer, and f. l.. Luethi Boulder.
This committee received instruc-
tions to endeavor to secure the pass
age by the Sixteenth General Assem-
bly, of an act providing for the ap-
pointment of a highway commission,
and providing also for the construc-
tion, maintenance and repairs of pub
lie roads by extending state aid for
that purpose to the several counties.
Thomas f. Walsh, the father of the
Good Roads movement in Colorado, de-
clined to act upon the committee. He
explained his position, saying that he
had so many engagements ahead that
It would be impossible for him to
serve. Before the end of next year
Mr.. Walsh expects to be able to spend
a great deal of his time in Good Roads
work.

American oastronomy.

1t is generally recognized that the
digestive organs of the American are
fearfully and wonderfully made. In
no respect is this more apparent than
in the consumption OF so-called sea
food" from the Atlantic seaboard to
the Mississippi valley. The Chicago
epicure may be forgiven for liking
Cape Gods and Blue Points opened a
Thousand miles from tidewater. But
among the strangers who sojourn in
New York hotels and dine in New
York restaurants, there is an unhal-
lowed taste for fish which should
either disgust the eater or induce
ptomaine poisoning. or both. Weak
fish, when served under the alias of
"sea trout" are devoured by visitors
from the west, in season and out,
whether softened by hot sun or hard
ened and spoiled by cold storage. The
wise man. disregarding all the time
honored warnings, knows that he may
eat his I'LL of Holsters and crabs, and
may even wash them down with milk,
provided they were alive when cooked.
But not all the digestive tablets in
America can act as antidote to blue
hsh which have been dead for days in
the hold of a smack, or have been laid
out in the arctic atmosphere of IA cold
storage plant. to be resurrected after
several moons have waxed and waned.
A good sauce may temporarily COLI
ceal the fact that fish cannot be en-
balmed. So. says the New York Post.
We suppose the Bostonian will go on
eating red snappers from the Gulf of
Mexico. while the Galveston gourmet
enjoys Tive cod" beneath tropical

A "Burningv Subject.

Prof. Flux, who has just edited a
new edition of Jevons' Goal Ques-
tion," first published 40 years ago,
shows that that writer has been much
misunderstood. and generally reas-
sures the British public as to the day
when 1t must do without coal The
rate of increase of coal cosumption
during the last 20 years Prof. Flux
proves to have been materially less
than during the preceding 20. But
this diminution is not constant, as the
increase was slower in the decade
1SS5-94 than in the decade following.
The average annual increase Prof.
Flux puts at two per cent. If the pres
ent rate of increase is maintained till
1854 the total output year will then
be 569 millions of tons. according to
the London Tribune. As there is a
visible supply of 100000 millions of
tens, with probable. as yet un-
proved. supply of 10000 millions more,
four-fifths of the former will still be
intact in 1854. So that even the great
grandchildren of the present genera
ton will not feel that the danger Of a
coalless hearth is pressing

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-Supply
of catIe here last week was just about
the same as preceding week-12, 500
head. Demand was good and the mar
ket in fine shape with prices closing
firm on all desirable cattle. Beef es-
pecially was wanted-best steers SELL
Ing at $3.50 and most of the pretty
good killing kinds bringing $3.75 to
$4.25. Fancy COWS sold up to $3.50, and
several punches at $3.50 to $40, with
fair to pretty good ones at $2.75 to
$3.25. Medium to fair COWS sold around
$2.35 to $2.65, and Gamers down to
$1.50. Bulls were active and firm and
veals little higher than a week ago.
Feeder and stocker supply was liberia.
and some choice stun here. Demand
was good for anything showing up
well and the market closed in nice
shape. Best western slope feeders
sold a. 1870. with others at $415 to
$3.50, and bulk of the fair to good
kinds at $3.50 to $500. Demand is ex-
pected to be strong and trade active
this week. Common steers show little
improvement as the demand is limited.
Supply of hogs was light last week
and market active on everything Of
fered. Tops are now selling around
$6.25. with the range down to 1920 on
the best. Packers are taking all the
hogs coming this way and would buy
more II they were offered.
Sheep market closed active with
prices firm. Offerings were limited last
week, but everything sold readily. De-
mand is especially strong for good
feeders. but the thin kinds are a little
slow. There is also very good inquiry
for desirable killing stuff

COAL LAND OFFER.
Syndicate Wants to Buy State Land In
Routt County.

Denver.-At q meeting of the State
Land Board Thursday one of tho most
important applications for land made
In many years was filed with the
board. The application WAS made by
Attorney Tom Harrington on behalf
Of Bernard l.. Castor, St. Louis man,
representing st. Louis and Chicago
capital.
The land desired is a tract OF about
100000 acres of indemnity land in
Routt county, located between Hayden
and Steamboat Springs. 1t is believed
TO contain coal, although the board has
no very accurate Information on the
subject at the present time.
The people desiring the land offer to
pay $40 per acre outright for it, max
ing s1,000,000; or they want a fifty
year lease on it with the promise that
they could buy it later. Both Mr. Cas-.
tor and Mr.. Harrington desired the
deal TO be closed at once II possible,
but the board will take at least two
weeks to investigate the matter and
have the land inspected before any
definite action is taken. An appraiser
will DE sent to Routt county to make
an investigation and the matter will
probably come up for action at the
next regular meeting of the board
The Moffat railroad will pass within
twelve or fifteen miles of the land in
question and an especially good coal
land the board has demanded 500 a
quarter section for leasing, but the
proposition made was only 81 per
quarter section. Th,, state has been
asking $40 an acre for land within fif.
lteen miles of railroad, and $40 per
acre If the land was nearer.

says: by his firm attitude, prompted
by lofty sense of justice, President
Roosevelt has added new lustre to his
already great fame. 1t is to be hoped
that true Americans will unite in SUP
port OF his righteous policy" The

titude as just and impartial, and is re-
joiced to find it in perfect accord with

JAP SCHOOL CASE
WILL TEST SAN FRANcIsco
LAW IN THE COURTS.
SCHOOL BOARD STATEMENT
Facts Upon Which II Is Asked That
Suit Shall Be Brought Now Under
Consideration by Attorney General


Consideration by Attorney General
Moody.
San Francisco.-The Board of Edu
cation, through City Attorney Burke
Friday afternoon submitted to United
States District Attorney Devlin a
statement of facts bearing upon the
segregation of Japanese children in
separate schools, which it is planned
that the federal government is to take
to test the legality of the state statute
under which the Board OF Education
made its ruling.
The statement was Immediately tele.
graphed to Washington. where it is ex
.pected that 1t will be considered by
Attorney General Moody.
Following is the boards statement
of facts:
1T is hereby agreed that the follow.
ing facts are true:
THAT the United States entered into
an agreement with the empire of ia.
pan, which was concluded November
%, 1894, the ratification of which was
ratified by the Senate with amend.
ments February s, 1895, and which was
ratified by the President of the United
States February Is, 1895; that ratifica,
tions were exchanged March 21, 1895,
and that the treaty was proclaimed
March 21, 1895. which treaty is now
in full force and effect"
Section 1862 of the political code OF
California provides as follows:
Trustees shall have the power to
establish schools for Indian children
and for children of Mongolian and Chi.
,nese descent. When such separate
schools are established, Indian, Chi
nese or Monaghan children must not
he admitted into any other school. ex-
'cept in kindergartens at the age OF
four"
October IL, 1906, the Board of Edu-
cation of San Francisco adopted the
following resolution:
"Resolved, that in accordance with
article 1, section 1862 of the school
law of California. principals are
hereby directed to send all Chinese,
Japanese and Korean children to the
Oriental public school on and after
October 15, 1906"
The document then states that a
separate school should be established
for Orientals, which is conducted in all
respects as are other public schools OF
the same grade, that trustworthy and
competent teachers are in charge and
that the same educational privileges,
rights and advantages are offered the
Oriental children as are afforded the
children of all other public schools.
The statement sets forth that at the
time of the passage Of this resolution
there were ninety-three Japanese chill
'dren in attendance at the several pub
lie schools, thirteen of which were be-
tween the age of six and twenty-one
years of age. The admission is made
that the children of all other foreign
,parentage, other than Oriental, are not
segregated in separate schools.
The United States is asked to join
in this statement of facts for the pur-
pose of enforcing so far as it has
power to do, its obligations to the EN-
.pire of Japan arising from said treaty
and of securing to the children OF Jap
anese descent the same educational
advantages as are given to children OF
European parentage.

The Market for Perfection.

Supreme excellence always finds =
market and good price. No matter
what one does, IL 1t is done better than
anybody else can do 1t, 1t meets de-
mand. A man who can play 20 games
of chess at one time while he is blind
folded earns a large wage by his skill
The peaches put up by woman who
can prepare them so that they taste a
little better than any other canned
peaches command twice as high a
price as the product of less success
full rival. 1t is not only the artist like
fame and fortune by his unique gifts.
In varying degree. 1t is anybody who
in the most humble sphere of life
achieves unique excellence. The
Youths Companion tells OF a certain
New England hotel that is famed for
its good cooking. The secret OF 1t is
largely this: the proprietor seeks far
and wide through the region for wom-
en- who have a reputation for making
some single dish. Mrs. Browns fried
CniChtn, hIs. oiHiln . uoubhhutS anu
Mrs. Johnson's pandowdy are famous.
The shrewd hotel keeper offers these
women a handsome sum OF money to
fry chicken and make doughnuts and
pandowdy for six weeks for his for
tunate guests. So superiority again
finds its market and its praise. Ambi-
tion to excel is good common sense. A
great king may build himself a monu-
ment designed to eclipse all other
royal monuments. A rich man may try
to roll up fortune bigger by millions
than otlier fortunes. But neither king
nor millionaire can become exclusive
possessor of the rewards of superior
fty. Good, plain work superlatively
well done fits into the scheme of the
universe. 1t makes the world richer,
by contributing It's share to that per-
fection which is civilizations constant
quest
