ROOSEVELT BETWEEN TWO
FIRES OVER RATE BILL

Washington, D. c. Jan. 3.--Presidcnt
Roosevelt seems likely to find himself
between two fires on the rate question.
On one side, obviously, are tiie railroad
people who oppose his policy, and now
on the other side it seems there are
gathering a goodly company of his
former friends, men who are more rad
ical than he, and who declare he is not
standing out for enough on the rate
question.
For the purpose of getting together
these radicals are attacking the Dolli-
yer bill. which was introduced in the
senate the day following an important
white house conference at which all
Interests were represented.

The ART EXHIBIT.
All The Great Galleries Of The World are Rep.
resented In The Display.

The Art Exhibit is in full blast. The
Ladies' Fortnightly club serves delicious
refreshments at nearly all hours. There
is committee Of the ladies' on hand
both afternoon and evening. One solid
hour Of music is furnished each evening
by members Of the High School and
other talent. The chorus of fifty voices
sings each evening, and shares honors
with the instrumental selections. Do
not fail to attend. All the great galleries
Of the world are represented and the
pictures are beautifully produced. The
admission is only ten cents.
On Saturday night the members of the
old Alumni basket ball team met the
High School girls team at Armory hall,
in the first game Of the season. 1t was
private affair, but few OF US were al
lowed to attend. The Alumni girls were
out in the old suits and looked familiar.
The II. s. girls appeared in black Co.'S
tunes. The game was good one from
start to finish, and contained some fea-
lures not down on the boards. One OF
the Alumni found her head in violent
contact with the floor on one occasion,
and nearly took the count. The High
School girls played all around their larger
opponents during the first half. In the
second, the older girls seemed to get
their heads, and the game became close
and interesting. Time was called with
the score at IA to II in favor Of the High
School. The star of both teams was the
captain of the High School squad, Alice
King. The Alumni were without one Of
their best players, but made very good
showing. This was the first game for
them in two years.

The Art Exhibit will be closed on ac-
count of the game, to open up again on
Saturday. The Wheatridge team is a
husky one but the local boys are hopeful.

west drift is we'll started, machine will
be put at work extending this level.
The level west from the 1,4OO- foot sta
ton has been in great ore for almost the
entire distance Of 32O feet. During the
past week the streak pinched up to al
most few inches in width in the breast,
but the next two rounds of holes dis
closed wider streak OF more heavily
mineralized ore than has yet been found
in the levels Of the mine. The showing
in the 140O foot level is now such that
there is reasonable expectation that
when the 150O. foot level is driven west,
one OF the largest and best ore bodies
ever opened in the Russell gulch section
will be the result Of the development

Git From loqaI CoIoradoans.

The campaign for funds with which to
purchase handsome silver service as a
gift to the cruiser Colorado is to begin
April 1st, and it is hoped that the entire
fund will be completed within few
weeks. The special committee Of the
Colorado State Commercial association
and Of which Governor Mcdonald is
chairman, has received many letters Of
encouragement and commendation, and
several wealthy citizens have volunteered
large contributions toward the 81 800 re-
quired. In each case letters Of explana-
ton have been sent to these enthusiasts
explaining the plan OF the association to
accept only small contribution from
each person.
fourteen year-old lad, living in
Hugo, registered the very first contribu.
ton, silver ten-cent piece. The lads
name will head the published list April
LIST, and the first copy Of the souvenir
certificate will be mailed by the COM
mittee to this young patriot at Hugo.
The committee has decided not to ac-
cept contributions direct but to have the
newspaper publishers of the entire state
act as collecting agents. This plan was
decided upon as being the most complete
and satisfactory way Of giving the 1885, 900
men, women AMI children of Colorado
an individual opportunity to subscribe
to this great, popular fund.
The special committee is composed OF
Governor Jesse F. Mcdonald, chairman;
Miss Katherine Craig, state superintend-
ent OF public instruction; D. c. Packard,
president OF the Colorado State Com.
mercial association; Sam F. Dutton,
proprietor OF the Albany hotel in Den.

The people OF Pennsylvania recently
contributed s25, 900 for a silver service
gift to the cruiser named after that state.
The people OF this city and county will
no doubt respond liberally toward gift
from Colorado.

School Case Dismissed.

The appeal Of Miss Myra Carson which
was taken from the school board to the
county superintendent of schools and
heard week ago last Saturday, was dis
missed by Mrs. Ida Kruse McFarlane
Friday evening The case was to have
been finished on Saturday last but the
presiding Judge telephoned up from
Denver and notified the counsel Of the
appellant and appellees of the action she
had taken. The reason the case was dis
missed was owing to Miss Carson's ina
bility to be present at the trial. Since
her dismissal here the young lady has
accepted a position in the schools of
Boulder and it would have been neces.
sary for her to neglect her work there
while the case was being tried. She was
the one who requested that the county
superintendent dismiss the appeal. As
the case had created much comment
locally it is best that it was disposed Of
as it was. In sAort. it shouldn't have
been brought up. The action of the
school board should have been final. The
school law in providing for an appeal
from the decision OF the school board
whom it sees fit to discharge a teacher
for good and sufficient reasons ought to
be amended. The county superintend-
ent should have no right to mix in a
matter Of this kind.
