SISAL RECORDED
MIGHTY TEMBLOR

What is believed to have been ter.
rife earthquake last Monday was re.
corded by the seismograph at SisaI or
that day. It seemed that the disturb
ance occurred about 1900 miles from
this island, probably to the westward
although the instrument at Sisai could
not record the direction.
Since the cable did not announce any
earthquake ashore about that date, ii
is believed that the disturbance must
have been submarine. The earthquake
on the Island of Hawaii on Thursday
may not have been unrelated to the
violent shakes recorded by the Sisal in
strument

Mrs. Harry Schrader died very

since having typhoid fever some six
or seven months ago. the fever leav-
ing her in such condition that an oper-
alton appeared imperative. and yes

was performed. About noon today

band was present at the time. At this
time no arrangements for funeral
have been made, but burial will take

fever deceased hardly knew what it
was to have sick day. The only

cotoRApo's REPRESENTATIVE
IN THE UNITED STATES
SENATE.

The choice by the Republican Joint
Gusgenheim as the party nominee
for United States senator was in per-
feet accord with the policy Of the
party In power and In harmony with
the campaign issues. Mr.. Guggen-
helm is business man. He has
large interests in this state. He has
been an active director In the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining company
and is at the head OF the largest min
eral producing corporation in Colora-
do. For nigh a score OF years he has
been resident of Colorado and for
most Of that time he has been par
ticipant In Republican party politics.
Mt. Guggenbeim is wealthy; but
wealth is not everything In this world.
He is not going to the United States
senate to add 10 his fortune. Some
persons are SO constituted that they
can do nothing but amass money and
others are so narrow In their views
that they can give credit to no one
who falls to follow their example. 1t
is fortunate for Mr.. Guggenheim that
he is built on broader foundation.
He has an ambition to make name
for himself in the United States SEN
ate. 1t is an ambition that has form
ed the handspring In the lives of the
greatest men In this republic. In re-
cent years, however the most potent
objection to tho composition of the
upper body In congress is that the le-
gal profession has pre-empted the
chairs as the surest way to add to
their fees. There is no reason why
Colorado should increase the num-
ber of attorneys. When IL has been
90 fortunate as TO have business
man representing 1t there has been no
cause for regret. The state was the
gamer. Mr. Guggenheim will go to
Washington as the representative Of
the business world. He seeks to
make name for himself in this
field. The Republican party, sup
ported by a decisive majority Of the
voters of the state. gives him the op-
portunity sought for. We have not
the least misgiving but what he will
make the most of 1t. that he will do
for Colorado In the senate what Col
orado needs most.
The nomination OF Mr.. Guggenheim
comes at the right moment as a
token that the day of discomfort Is
over and as an earnest that the Cen
tennial state Is on business intent in
the future. 1t win serve as a guar
antee OF Colorado's new standing.
Mr.. Guggenheim comes from fam
lily that has given the square dear'
a reality In the business world. In
the senate he will be found at all
times fighting for the right and up
holding the best interests of his
state.-Denver Republican.

A PIONEER OF COLORADO AND
THE WEST.

Few men of the West have had a
more active and a more varied career
In the upbuilding of the West than
he who has passed his declining years
in this city and whose body was laid
to eternal rest on New Years day of
1907.
Soldier. judge. legislator, constitu-
tionalist. state builder Thomas NJ.
Bowen was one OF those broad-mlnded
and adaptable men OF whom-fortu-
nately for Colorado-there were so
many in the early days. and who left
the stamp Of their character upon
the institutions and quality of this
state.
There could scarcely be a more fla-
grant misreading of history than to
Judge this man merely by the record
OF single term in the upper house
OF the congress of the United States,
or a greater Interpretation of char
acter than to consider him merely aa
lucky miner whom the whirlpool OF
partisan politics thrust in temporary
prominence. Such men there have
been in the West, and in our own
state. but Thomas NJ. Bowen was not
one of them.
At the age OF 21 he was elected as
representative in the Legislature of
Iowa. He WAS pioneer in Kansas at
23. He served for four years in the
armies OF the Union, rising from cap
tain OF Nebraska company to brev-
ct brigadier general in actual com
mand Of a brigade. He was presl-
dent of the convention that wrote the
new constitution for the recon-
Htructed state OF Arkansas, and a
Justice OF the supreme court OF that
state for four years. In 1871 he was
governor OF Idaho territory by ap-
pointment Of President Grant
He came to Colorado in 1875. He
was Judge of the fourth judicial dis
trict for four years. In 1882, after
having retired, permanently. as he
intended. from public life, he was
elected TO the Colorado general as.
sembly and served az chairman OF the
committee on ways and means until
he resigned to take the highest place
IN the gift of the state. the United
states senatorship.

BY popular vote the state of New
York decided to issue 800. 100000
bonds to enlarge its main canals SO
as to accommodate 1OO-ton barges,
and $4,000, 900 in bonds for the I'M
provement of roads. Seventy of the
440 miles of barge canal are under
contract. and from 200 to 400 men
have been steadily engaged in the last
two years. BY April $30.000,000 in
contracts will have been completed.
In regard to highway Improvement
the state engineer reports that plans
for $500 miles of main roads have
been approved, more than half of
which will be completed within a
year. In the midst Of this work New
York's chief engineer recommends
that a new and comprehensive high
way act be passed, that one highway
commissioners be appointed for each
town, and that no electric railway,

A NEW REGIME IN CUBA.

Governor Magoon's decree appoint
ing a commission to revise Cuba's
laws means the beginning Of a new
order OF things on the island. The
body is to submit to Magoon the draft
of a set of new enactments which are
to regulate Cuba's affairs during the
present transition period. and may
tide over the time until the annexa-
tlon which most OF the people Of
Cuba are now beginning to realize as
inevitable. Ostensibly the new laws
will mark the first step toward the
election of set of officers in the ISL
and to succeed those who abdlcated
Just before American Intervention.
In reality they will mark the advent
OF much closer connection between
the United States and Cuba than has
existed hitherto.
On January %. 1907, the commits
sion will hold its first meeting. Most
of its members are Cubans, but It is
TO be presided over by Col. Fl H.
Crowder of the Judge advocate gen.
erals department Of the American
army, and one or two other American
officers will be connected with 1t. Its
whole proceedings will be under
American supervision. Reports will
be made to Governor Magoon and
these will be transmitted to President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. For
the moment Cuba is colony Of the
United States in as direct a sense as
are the Philippines. From present
Indications the connection is likely to
become closer when any change takes
place.
London, Berlin, Paris and the rest
IF the old world capitals are not sur
)rised at this turn affairs. More
)ver. they are glad of 1t, and expect
ID It to come sooner than 1t did. The
Intervention of the United States
means stability, the protection of life
md property. and square deal for
everybody in the island. The affairs
4 those countries with Cuba are now
being conducted at Washington in
1tead of at Havana. In theory Cuba
9 still independent. and is to be al
owed another chance to put up gov
'rnment of her own. but as very few
sane persons suppose that experiment
will succeed, not much interest will
ye taken in the elections. Cuba's an
lexation is now only a question of a
year or two. The issue which will
present itself to congress at Wash
lngton at an early day Is whether
Cuba will be accorded full territorial
government like Oklahoma, Arizona
md New Mexico, or have a more rudi-
nentary regime. like Porto Rico or
Alaska. Statehood for Cuba will
'ome, but probably several years Of
erritorial probation will intervene
before she reaches complete self
government under the stars and
stripes. In the meantime the Amer
lean connection. when 1t becomes on
cial. will send immigration and capi-
al into the island. and she will grow
faster in one year than she did in
The four years of her Independence
Globe Democrat.
