C.hilian Oddities.

There are some oddities in Chilli
connected with the sphere of woman
that deserve mention. One is that
women act as conductors on the
street cars. Everywhere, the passen-
ger meets the woman conductor armed
with her bag, and collecting the coins
fully as we'll as her masculine COM
petitor, and much more politely. In
the shoe store all the statesmen" are
girls and women, and in the telegraph
offices In, city and country, young wom-
en- are found as operators. And they
do their work we'll, too. But to offset
this a Gillian hotel or boarding house
and in many residences men do the
work of the chambermaid. American
ladies are always shocked to find that
man servant takes care Of the
sleeping rooms in the hotels Of Chilli.

Washington, April 16.--Such are the

even the Daughters of the American

pathway of their fathers and INDUCED

in debt for the first time in its history,
She told how the finance committee

interest was 2 per cent less after the
brokerage was paid.

trouble as George Washington did with
continental money, and there is now a

Mrs. Davis said all should brand
as false any report that anyone of the
society was paid a bonus or premium

same time she thought it was an out
rage that such a financial scheme

Washington, April 16.-Right on the

The st. Louis case Is one in which
the government expects finally ane
definitely to establish that the anti.

1t has petitioned the circuit court fol
an order to the Standard and abou
eighty corporate and Individual de-
PENDANTS, commanding the dissolution
of the Standard Oil Company of New

in other corporations in the business Of
producing, refining, transporting and

the Standard the opportunity to mo-

1t is expected the court will over

defendants, and then the case will &C

The government is greatly pleased
with the result of the Chicago case
tho its effect on the ST. Louis It'll

St Louis case will be tried before the
same court that dissolved the Northern

COLORADO LEADS IN IRRIGATION.
Gigantic Effort Being Made to Ad-

Denver. THE next annual ses-
sion of the National Congress,
which takes place in sacra-
mento, California, in September,
will embody a gigantic effort to
show to the world the import
ance Of irrigation"
So spake W. A. Beard of Sacra-
mento. who visited in Denver for a
few hours on his way home from a
meeting of the executive committee OF
the National Irrigation Congress. held
in Chicago. Mr.. Beard is chairman OF
this committee and on his shoulders
rests considerable of the success OF the
big convention. But he avs that the
people of California will make it the
greatest convention Of the kind e
held during modern times.
Not only men of renown in this
country will attend, but We have prac-
tically been assured that most OF the
foreign countries will send dignitarles
and men who have made a life study
of irrigation, to the convention.
I'VE have already been assured that
governors from the sixteen states at
fected by the reclamation laws and
forest reserve disputes, will attend the
convention, and there will be an OPP
portunity for an extension Of the dis
cussion of the land problems that be-
gan at the land convention in Denver.
1T is our intention to bring repre-
sentatives to the convention from
states in the East where forest re-
serves have called for extended discus
sions. This will enable the govern
ment to get a clear view into the senti-
ment of people not only in the western
states, but over the entire country. l
do not believe that 1t would be in
proper place for anyone to express def
mite views on the possible outcome of
the land disputes at present. 1t is my
opinion that the disputes are but in
their infancy"
Mr.. Beard praises Colorado as the
most progressive state in the country
in the real use Of irrigation bitches
and schemes, and he is DESTROYS of
having a large delegation attend the
congress from Colorado, also to have
the state suitably represented in the
display of products grown on land un-
der irrigation.
The date OF the convention is Sep
TENDER I'd to 18th. Discussions will
chiefly involve irrigation, forestry and
the whole question of government de-
velopment and national

Accident May Mean Wealth.

What seemed to be a disastrous blow
to Lake City last week may turn out
to be its greatest boon.
The dam built by the city and the
Hidden Treasure mine in the canon
three miles above the town went out,
destroying the pipe line, which fur
nishes the city water supply and the
mines power. 1t washed out a part
of the county road and all the bridges
between the town and the dam.
Workmen and mine owners in at
tempting to repair the pipe line have
found that the great body of water
twelve feet high thai came down the
canon not only did great damage to
roads INT bridges, but also washed
away enough earth to o what
seems to be the most valuable leads
to gold veins ever discovered in the
district.
OF late T. J. O'Donnell, who left a
few days ago for a trip to Europe, has
been the head of a company operating
with some success the Hidden Treas.
ure mine and several smaller mines
have been working to advantage.
These mines with the city owned two
expensive dams in the canon above the
town.
Along the course of the flood was a
forgotten gold mine which had pro
duced several hundred thousand dol
lars in its day. 1t had been closed
down years age because of careless
management and no further attention
had been paid to it.
The flood not only uncovered the
leads to the veins which the operators
of this mine sought, but several veins
which appear to be rich in copper and
gold.
There is much excitement in Lake
City over the reports.
