enforced. In this proceeding the pub
lie convenience was a matter of fact
to be established by evidence. and the
evidence was uncontradicted that any,
thing less than a ten-minute service
would not meet the public convent
ence.
In reply, D. L. Wilmington argued
that the company supplied sufficient
cars. as was shown by the fact that
the Liliha street cars had seating ca
pacity of SO, and carried an average
of eight persons as against an average
of eighteen on the Waia1ae line. He
held that the authorities were all to
the effect that the proper remedy in
cases against public service corpora
tons was mandamus and not injunc-
ton, but that the authorities were
overwhelming that mandamus would
lie against a board of directors to
require them to change schedules, the
making; of schedules being left by the
law to the business purposes of the
corporations.
It was also argued that the present
Liliha street service was being run at
an average cost of 1854 a month and
was taking in an average OF about
$1400 a month.

San Luis Valley Reservoirs.

Denver.-The Republican Sunday
morning says: Good news for the
San Luis valley has been received in
Denver. After years of waiting the
secretary of the interior has approved
the application of the Rio Grande Res
ervoir G. Ditch Company, owner of the
Santa Maria reservoir, the approval be-
ing dated November 10th. This will
be gratifying to the people of San Luis
valley, for it means that the ban has
been raised on at least part of the
reservoir filings, and progress will
speedily follow in the further develop
ment OF that part of the state.
The reservoir in question will have
a capacity of 10000 acre feet. which
will mean very much to the farmers
of the valley. The government has
also approved the application of A. V.
Tabor on what is called the Rio
Grande reservoir site, which when
completed will have capacity of up
wards of $4,000 acre feet. The latter
application was approved November
18th.

DEATH OF MAJOR DOWNING.
Colorado Pioneer and Civil War Vet
eran Crosses the Range.


Denver.-Major Jacob Downing. one
of the earliest pioneers of Colorado
commander of battalion in the fam
GUS First Colorado Cavalry during the
Civil War. a veteran Denver attorney
and for whom Downing avenue was
named, died at $3.50 O'Clock Sunday
morning at his home. 80 West Coltax
avenue, aged seventy-seven years.
Major Downing was engaged In the
practice OF law in Denver when the
Civil War began. On hearing OF the
attack on Fort Sumter in 1861 he Or
ganized Company B, First Colorado
cavalry, of which he was commissioned
captain by Governor Gilpin. He
marched with his company to New
Mexico and was engaged In all the
battles of that campaign, being pro
NOTED from captain to major for gal
lantry.
In 1865 Major Downing was mus
tered out of service and turned his at
tention to the practice of law. In 1861
he was elected probate judge on the
Republican ticket and held the posi-
tion for two years. Having become
the owner of 1000 acres of land five
miles west of Denver in 1869 he began
the Improvement of the tract by irri'
cation and fencing, where he engaged
in general farming and live stock bust
ness for many years. He laid out sew
eral additions to Denver.
Some years ago he originated the
bill providing GAO acres for City Park.
With the assistance of other property
owners he improved Mountview bou'
levard, extending from the park six
miles east.
In the introduction of agricultural
improvements Major Downing was a
pioneer. In 1862 he introduced alfalfa
in Colorado, bringing the seed from
New Mexico and planting it on his
farm. He raised the hay for years and
used 1t for feed before others would
consent to use 1t. He also introduced
some of the finest breeds of poultry
raised in the state and brought four
teen dozen quail to Colorado, the first
in the state. For twenty years he
raised sugar beets, often marketing as
much as 500 tons annually. In cattle
raising he made specially of Short,
horns. He brought the first Herefords
to Colorado.
By Importation from the East, Ma
jor Downing brought fine Arabian stall
lions into the state, and in one of the
recent Festivals of Mountain and Plain
his horses were selected as the finest
in the parade.

The centenary of the birth of Arch
bishop Trench. which occurred recent
ly, has called to the minds of scholars
of today the great service he per-
formed in cracking the shells of Eng
lish words and showing the richness
of the kernels. He made it plain that
many word has a personal history,
and is almost romance in itself. For
SO years his Study of Words" and
English, Past and Present" have
continued to find rea, ers, and to mold
the style of students. This, declares
the Youths Companion. is no mean
service to English literature.

Great Revival in Chicago.

Chicago.-Rev. DR.. A. Torrey closed
Sunday night one of the most remark
able evangelistic campaigns ever seen
in Chicago. The meetings, which
were held for the most part in a huge
steam-heated tent, erected at North
Clark and Chestnut streets, have at
tracted an average attendance of 5000
for Sundays and 1900 on other nights.
DR.. Torrey has delivered 1876 sermons
to more than 275,000 listeners. About
5000 persons have professed CONVEX
sions. Fewer than 1000 of these were
women.

Bishop Potter's dinner to the col.
ored bishop during the recent Epis-
copal convention in Richmond con-
tinues to occasion comment in the
southern press. The prevailing SEN
timent seems to be that a bishop has
q perfect right to select his own
guests in his own house, and If the
white guests do not object to the COM
pany, there is no good reason why out
siders should. This looks like a rea-
sonably safe and sane view, from
both southern and northern stand
point. 1t would seem the question was
beyond argument.
