Los Angeles.-The overflow OF the
Colorado river at the Imperial Valley
dam Las been stopped, according TO
statements made by officials. The
dam has stood the test of two weeks

1t is believed that the work of build
ing levees will be finished by about
April 18th at the latest w ]. Doran
or the California Development Com
pany said to-day that the cost of the
work on the twenty-mile levee is
nearly thousand dollars a day and
that the total expense involved in
rurbing the river will be between thrae
and four million dollars. This money
has been or will be expended by the
Southern Pacific company. which must

STATEMENT By THE GOVERNOR,
he Gives His Views Upon Railroad and
Local Option Legislation.

Denvcr--Governor Buchtel mas writ.
len the following letter:
Statehouse, Feb. 26, 1907.
To the Public:
| desire to define my position on the
local option measures which are now
before the Legislature. 1t is doubtless
well unG'; stood that It would be i'm
possible to make any local option law
100 strong to suit me. In conference
of party leaders | have expressed a
Willingness to stand by the Kelly bill,
on condition that it would no. be pos
sibe to carry the Drake bill through
the Senate and the House If it is
possible to pass so strong a measure
as the Drake bill, OF course would he
glad 10 have the opportunity to approve
tnat bill and make it law. The pledge
OF tie Republican party on the subject
of local option is as follows:
I'VE pledge our candidates TO the en-
actment of local option law which
will insure to the people the removal
or establishment of saloons in the resi-
dcnce districts"
the provisions of the Kelly bill, with
certain strong amendments which were
agreed upon in conference OF party
leaders. would make this pledge good.
. nope, however, that the Republicans
OF The Senate and the House may be
willing to do somewhat more than
merely keep the party pledge on the
question of local option. If the rail-
way commission to be created is not to
have authority to adjust railway rates,
;ner | fear that the plain people
throughout the state will be disposed
to think that the Republicans have
scarcely kept their pledge for the en-
actment o. law governing the railway
commerce of the state along the lines
of the national rate law. In view of
the fact that the party seems disposed
10 drop somewhat below the plain let
Ter and spirit of its pledge on the SUBJ
Ject of the railway rate law, it would
seem quite desirable that the party
should go beyond its pledge in the en-
actTnont of a local option law We
need to remember that the hundreds
of thousands of people who do the vot-
ing and determine who shall serve
them in official positions are never ap-
pearing before any committee. The
plain people are always looking at
every political question from the
standpoint of what is best for their
children and for the community in
whic.. they live. 1t is to be understood
therefore, that | favor strongly the
best local option bill which can be
passed. l hope the Republicans in the
House and the Senate may be willing
to so somewhat beyond the party
pledge in the enactment of local op-
tion law. Very sincerely.
HENRY A. BUCHTEL.

BeIligerent States Must Arbitrate.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Unless Mica.
ragua and Honduras speedily agree to
arbitrate their difficulties in response
to the suggestion of the United States
and Mexico, it is not improbable that
Intervention will be resorted to in or
der to bring to an end the present
state of hostilities.
1t became known to-day that within
the last day or two second note was
sent to the president Of Nicaragua
and Honduras, in effect conveying this
threat. No replies have been received,
and while in official circles the hope is
exp! essed that further bloodshed may
be avoided, there is an underlying be-
lief that 1t will be necessary for either
the United States or Mexico to step in
and force an arbitration.

When the House went into committee
Of the whole Monday, debate came
up over the proper local option bill to
be given consideration. The bill At
The head of the calendar was H. B.
SO, Watson. The author stated that
his bill was almost identical with S. B.
40, Drake, and he moved the substitu-
ton of the latter. Mr.. Kelly moved
an amendment that H. B. 157, his To-
cal option measure, be substituted for
the Watson bill. Mr. Mckenzie fav-
Cled the substitution of the Senate
lill, as he feared any other action
might induce the Senate to take out
its spleen on House bills. Mr.. Redd
spoke in favor of carrying out all OF
the demands of the Republican plat
form. The quickest way to act on the
local option matter was to take up the
ILL already passed by the Senate. Any
ether action might put off the consid-
Grafton until so late in the session
that it might not be possible TO enact
any law at all. The matter was dis
posed of for a time by voting down
Mr.. kelly's motion, and by agreeing
to substitute the Drake bill for the
Watson bill.
took action on the railroad bill Mon
day. A delegation, headed by its pres
ident, from the Colorado Manufactur.
ers Association, appeared before the
steering" committee of the Repub-
Lean legislative caucus, and made
such plea against rate making pow
ers in the proposed railroad measure
that this committee reported to the
caucus against such a step. and as a
result section Is was amended to elm
mate the rate-making power. The
law to be bassed will not have a rateu
making section, as has the Roosevelt
federal law, but will only give power
tc adjust railroad made rates as be-
tween different shippers. The Pull
man lines and private passenger
coaches are also eliminated from the
bill, giving these interests special
privileges. The power given in the

in committee Of the whole in the Sem
ate. Senator Wodd. who opposed the
bill, said he had desired a hearing be-
fore the committee on state instiu-
tions, which had not been granted He
moved to re-refer the bill. Senator
Lewis said the bill had been printed
for weeks and Senator Wood could
have arranged for hearing at any
time. He did not think Senator Wood
was acting in very good faith Sena-~
tor Anfenger called attention to AZ
statement of Senator Wood, twA
weeks ago, to the effect that ~
wanted hearing. At that time he had
been invited to bring on his constitu-
ents. Senator Wood replied that the
bill had been on the calendar, favor
ably reported by the committee, and
that hearing would have been OF no
avail. There was much debate on this
bill before the motion to recommit
was put, Senator Barela said he had
heard no complaints against the
measure among the coal miners of Las
Animas county. Senator Scott spoke
heartily in favor of the bill He de-
clared that 1t is designed to serve
humanitarian purpose. The motion to
recommit was lost Senator Campbell
mine on particular section OF land
at heavy cost to the state. He moved
to strike out the enacting clause.
Senator Drake opposed the bill on the
ground that the opening of a mine on
state land would require the building
and maintenance of railroads and run
up to heavy expense. Senator Wood
said the project would cost the state
fully 100000 before a ton of coal
could be mined. Senator Lewis said
the land proposed to be leased in the
bill belongs to the Fred Reynolds es-
tate, but he was now satisfied it could
not be produced, and had no objection
to an amendment striking out this. spec
ification. The minority continued its
fusillade against the bill, which was
defended by the authors. Senator
Campbell finally withdrew his motion
to strike out the enacting clause in
view Of certain amendments removing
the specific tract Of land to be leased.
Senator De Long moved to strike out
section /, and offered substitute Al.
lowing the penitentiary commissioners
to lease any available tract from the
state for coal mining purposes. This
amendment was adopted and the l.
