GOVERNOR VEToES
ANTI-PASS RESOLUTION

To the Honorable, the As.

Gentlemen
| have the honor to return to
your honorable body without my
approval, Assembly J. and c
Resolution l relative to railroad

My objections to this resolution
can be briefly stated. 1t is too
far reaching in its application
and will interfere with private
business. If its provisions were
confined strictly to official mat.
tiers it would not be ojectional
Members of the legislature and
many of the officers are men of
business entirely disconnected
with official duties. This resolu.
Cion carries with 1t an implied in
suit to the integrity and charact.
er OF men in whom the people of
the state have had sufficient con-
tldence to elect them to high and
responsible positions, and it does
not seem reasonable or just that
they should be placed in the
light of suspicion concerning
their official acts.
In business it frequently hap
pens that the shipper desires to
accompany his freight to market

case of live stock.

Should it be possible to enforce

CHOICE LAND OPENED.
One Hundred Thousand Acres of Fertile
Ground Near Montr0se Can
Now Be HOmesteaded.

Montrose. Colo, Aug. 81
Over 100000 acres fthe choicest
land in Colorado, fertile in the
extreme. will be thrown open for
settlement tomorrow. The land
comprises almost one-fourth of
Montrose county. which is more
than twice the size of the state of
Rhode Island and half the size of
the ate of Connecticut.
The 100000 acres were origin
ally included in the forest reserve
and were withdrawn from settle
ment. Last January a big petit
ton was sentin to the department,
asking that entries be permitted
on this fine land. The president
and secretary reconsidered the
matter, and now the land is to
be opened tor homesteaders.
The tract is about thirty-six
miles long BY twenty-five miles
wide and includes the Norwood.
Redlands, Lilylands, Colony,
Naturita and Paradox sections.
A number of big companies are
planning projects to water the
new homesteads and railway
line has been surveyed from
Montrose to this section.
The land is separate and apart
from the 10000 acres in the
north and east portions OF Mon
trose county watered by the
Gunnison tunnel, which is in the
east portion OF Montrose county.

Miss Greta Rost, CeutraIto.

No singer that Joseph Newman
has brought us, ever received a
warmer welcome or made a more
genuinely good impression than
Miss Greta Rost, and everyone is
delighted to know that she will be
with the Company at the Paonia
Opera House, Monday. Sep
tembcr. I'd.
Such a wonderful contralto
voice as Miss Rost possesses is
not often heard. 1t is sweet,
smooth, rich and full, with great
depths below the usual concert
range, and she sings as if it is just
the easiest way she has of expires
sing herself. Her repertoire OF
selections includes H. Lane Will
sons beautiful waltz song,
"Carmena." Bartlett's Dream
Lyness, "He Was A Prince
Neidlinger's The Rose In The
Garden" Hawley's "Ah; T'is A
Dream" and Mrs. E. S. Worrell':

The Joseph Newman Company.

Someone has said that Joseph
Newman could not head an opera
company if he tried. AS an actor
probably he ranks with tn Sc who
play minor part And so does
Riley as a poet. So did Gene
Field and so in a measure do all
those who with simple jest. gentle
and tender pathos and sympathy,
play lightly and swee,ly on our
heart strings. And it is the quiet
touches after all that does more
for us than the tense tragedy. the
fight of oratory and display OF
Pomp and blare of the greater
stage. So Joe comes to us each
season to play his little part and
to sing his funny songs and every.
body seems glad to have him
come. And he knows how to sur.
round himself with other enter.
tainers who can assist him with
other phases of entertainment as
hne as his, though different in
kind.

Two Politicians"

One OF the first things done by
a stranger visiting Albany, says
the Philadelphia Call, is to pay
twenty-five cents and put himself
at the mercy of Capitol guide.
The guide makes a profound
and obsequious bow. like a pres
tidigitator about to charm an
audience, and proceeds. to lift
the veil which hides the mysteries
of the great building.
On a recent occasion the guide
led the stranger regretfully past
"McGinty's" empty frame. and
proceeded to identify the heads of
notables that decorate the stair
way. He did fairly we'll until the
stranger pointed out Shakespeare
and Homer, and asked who they
were.

dauntcd, "are the heads of two

reinforcement to the big suit
which opens in New York Sept. 3,
and which is aimed at the heart OF
the Standard Oil trust. the gov
ernment is planning to make an
immediate attempt to deprive the
trust of its franchise.
This action differs from the
other in that the suit filed at St.
LOUIS and heard in New York tor
convenience. seeks only to force
the trust to disintegrate by giving
up the companies it owns or con-
trolls in states other than
New Jersey. the home of the orig
inal Standard Oil company.
The matter of going after the
trusts franchise was the subject
of a conference between Attorney
General Bonaparte and Judge
Frank b. Kellogg. of ST. Paul,
and Charles b. Morrison. Mr..
Kellogg is the governments spe-
cial counsel in the first to wrest
commercial mastery from the oil
trust. and Mr.. Morrison, who was
formerly district attorney at Chi
csgo. had a great deal TO do with
the preparation OF the case. which
resulted in Judge Lands hning
the Standard Oil company OF In
diana $29. 100000.
In addition to the plan to de-
privc the trust of its franchise. IT
is intimated that the attorney
general is making preparations to
prosecute individuals OF the
Standard Oil company under the
provisions of the Sherman act.
which provides for imprisonment
of guilty persons while the Elkins
act does not.
Should the government succeed
in its attempt to kill the oil trust

fair way to do il the worlds

Organized in New Jersey. the
Standard has spread its tentacles
until it not only controls the oil
trade in this country. but also
handles a large proportion of the
oil sold in England. Russia and
other countries across the water.
Seven states-Missouri. New
York, Ohio, Illinois. Mississippi,
Louisiana and Tenncssce-have
filed suits against the trust, and
in addition the government has
eight suits against it. the most i'm
portant of which is that which
soon will begin.
