CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.

The bill to prohibit contributions by
corporations to campaign funds in
national elections. which passed the
senate at the last session, has now
passed the lower house with some
amendments tending to strengthen 1t.
1t not only forbids any corporations
Whatever from contributing toward
federal elections, but 1t prohibits ma
tional banks and other corporations
organized under federal law from con-
tributins to any campaign funds,
whether national, state or local. 1t
goes as far as congress has the power
to go In this direction.
There is still the peril before the
bill of delay in conference commit
tee. but it is hardly conceivable that
IL will be allowed to die there, after
all the promises that 1t will be passed.
The senate Is so busy with unneces-
sary matters that 1t may not find time
to take the final steps unless it is
strongly urged. The failure to pass
the bill will, however, be very difficult,
indeed, to explain to constituents.
1t remains for the state to pass
similar legislation whereby all state
and local elections will be equally
protected. Many OF the states already
possess such laws, and It is import
ant that all should have them, so as

TROUT STREAMS
ARE BIG ASSETS.

Realizing what a good asset the
streams OF the state may become
when they have attained a reputation
for the sport they AFFORD TO the de-
votees of the rod and line, the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad has been CO.
operating with the state game and fish
commissioner in stocking the various
streams along Its lines.
The following circular letter was
recently issued, giving the results OF
the work done so far:
THE mountain streams OF Colorado.
by reason OF their clear and pure wa
ter, are particularly adapted for the
various species Of game fish, general
ly characterized as trout. Realizing
this fact, both the national and state
governments have expended large
sums OF money In the construction OF
strictly modern hatcherles In this
state for the proper care and distri-
button OF young fish. The principal
hatchery OF the national government
is located near Mount Massive, near
Leadville, with branches at Twin
Lakes and at Grand Mesa Lakes. The
hatcheries instituted by the state oil
Colorado are located at Denver. Gun
nison, Durango, Steamboat Springs
and Glenwood Springs. All OF these
hatcheries are In charge OF expert
enced men. who devote their entire
time and attention to the propagation
of young trout, and gather the spawn
from the various streams and lakes
from whence they are taken to th'
hatcheries, and under scientific car
and direction are hatched. and the fisl
thus brought forth are given excel
