New Senator Has Place On a
Number Of Committees
In Upper House
ACCEPTED BY CAUCUS

Washington, Dec. lS.-The Re.
publican senators held a caucus
yesterday and accepted the report
of the committee on the assign
ment of senators to the commit
tees. Several committees have
been created for the purpose of
giving chairmanships to new Re
publican senators. Senator Gug-
genheim of Colorado is the head
of one, called expenditures in the
navy department. Among the
new senators Guggenheim has as
signments as follows: "Audit
and control of contingent expens-
es of senate. census, claims, manu-
features, Pacific railroads, Uni
versity of United States"
Washington, Dec. IS. - Aside
from the appointment of commit
tees, which took place at the be-
ginning of yesterdays session Of
the senate, the need of the i'm
provement of the inland water
ways of the United States was the
chief subject before that body yes

GLENWOOD ASKS FOR
A EFDERAL BUILDING

The Glenwood Springs board
of trade, through its president.
Maj. S. j. DeLan, has forwarded
to Colorado's senators and con-
gressmen at Washington draft
of a bill to be presented to con
gress, asking that there be con
structed in this town large fed
eral building to accommodate the
various offices of Uncle Sam in
this part of the state.
1t is likely that Senator Gug-
genheim will present this meas
ure. The sum asked for in the
draft is 100000, though it is left
to the discretion of the senators
and congressman whether they
should name such an amount.
In the form of bills the claims
of Grand Junction and Durango
appear both in the house and SEN
ate, each providing for the cree
ton of a federal structure to cost
1925, 900.
Glenwood residents argue that
this being the legitimate center Of
the western slope as far as railway
facilities are concerned, there is
no reason why Glenwood should
not receive first consideration. Ii
is well known that former Federal
Judge Moses Hallett of Denver ia
vOred this town as the place
where federal building should
be built. Others prominent in
state and national politics have
held the same view.
In previous years the same
claims have been presented, but
with hundreds of other similar ap-
plicatons from all parts of the
country, was shelved.
Such a structure is badly need
ed here. Two years ago Congress.
man Herschel M. Hogg introduced
bill asking for a 100000 appro-
priation for federal buildings in
Grand Junction and Trinidad but
the prize went to the latter city.
Grand Junction boosters are
busy in behalf of their city, but
cannot make as good showing
as Glenwood in point of location.

when sensation returned expert
enced nothing but the sense of
bruising, which is one of the Sc
quels Of grave operations. The
curious name of the anaesthetic.
"stovaine," is due to its discov-
erer, M. Fourneau. NJ. Fourneau
was anxious to perpetuate his own
name with it, but as the anaes-
thetic was of the nature of cocaine
and no compound resembling that
could be contrived out of -Four

into its English equivalent Of

GAMES GOING IN TELLURIDE

Telluride, Dec. 16. - For the
first time since it was known that
P. A. Lilley was short in his ac-
counts, gambling ran wide open
in this town Saturday night. Some
twelve months ago when it became
known that Lilley, who was city
treasurer, was short in his ac-
counts and that he had lost the
money by gambling, practically
every gambling house in the city
was closed. They remained closed
until Saturday night when they
were open all night and did a
fourishing business. They were
running Sunday and the indica-
tions are that unless the citizens
protest vigorously the gambling
rooms will run night and day the
same as usual in this city.

Smallpox is quite prevalent in
the lower portion of the county,
about IS eases being reported on
Roam creek and a number in the
vicinity of Rife and Grand Val

and it is not thought that any ia
talities will result if proper care
is exercised. Unfortunately the
disease had spread considSably
before it was reported to the prop
er authorities. IIenceforth strict
quarantine will be maintained in
every case and every effort will
be made to prevent further con-
taglon.
Mrs. Virginia Thompson was

He was familiarly known as "Bil-

state medical board passed
through Glenwood today on his
way to the lower portion of the
county where he will investigate

steps as may be necessary to pre-
vent the further spread of the dis
ease. DR.. Crook, the county
health officer, has ordered local

TALK BY CARNEGIE
ON FINANCIAL SYSTEM

New York, Dee. l7.-At the
eighth annual meeting of the Ma
tional Civic federation, which
opened here yesterday, Andrew
Carnegie delivered an address. He
said in part:
"No system of currency will
enable us to eliminate seasons of
depression, failures and losses.
Prosperity is bound to stretch the
lines beyond the point, and dull
times the needed to resore them
and just in proportion as the per-
centage of the total of legitimate
business grows smaller to that of
speculation and gambling upon
margins, financial disasters will
increase in numbers and severity
Let us therefore dismiss all pana.
ceaS for panics such as we have
Just experienced and which were
due several years ago, but were
delayed by an unequalled success
sion of good crops and demands
for our crops abroad. The point
that demands attention is that our
banking system is unlike that of
other countries. | agree thorough
ly with those, however, who be-
lieve that the present is no time
to urge the complete change we
need
Currency Will Not Down.
1.-The currency question will
never down until it is founded up
on correct principles. If there be
anything established it is that it
should be based on assets, viz,
trade bills, which expand and con
tract as business does. the reserve
being in gold. But this does not
seem to be the proper time to urge
so great a change as this implies.
"Our first effort should be to
get legislation turned from the
wrong to the right path by intro
duclng to some extent asset cur
rency. AS the people see the ad-
vantages of this system we may
hope to enlarge its use and grad
ually then abandon securities and
in due time begin the substitution
of gold, real value, for our re
sources instead of government ev-
dences of debt, thus giving us the
most profitable and serviceable
form of a bank, as abundantly
proven by the experiences of 9th
er countries. No central bank is
necessary to effect cure, but
only the cushion elasticity which
the president recommends.

STAMPING GROUND
OF PROHIBITION

Boulder, Dec. 17.-From now
on Boulder county will be dry
Beginning yesterday the board of
county commissioners will refuse
to issue any more saloon licenses,
and will refuse to renew the ones
already issued as fast as they ex-
pire. This applies to the unin-
corporated towns, and as every IN
corporated town is already dry,
the sale of liquor in this county is
practically at an end. The city of
Boulder has been dry for some
time. Longmont closed its last
saloon month ago and today the
saloon keepers of the city of
Mitchell, an unincorporated town,
were refused a renewal. Within
six months there will not be sa-
loon in the county of Boulder AL
most all the towns in the southern
and eastern parts of the county
are mining camps. A coal mining
camp without a saloon will be a
novelty that will be on exhibition
in Colorado after the next three
months.
Loss to Liquor Interests.
1t is estimated that thousands
of dollars monthly are lost to the
saloon and brewery interests
through the action taken by the
people of Boulder county in shut
ting off the sale of liquor. In the
city of Boulder two years ago a
saloon keeper named Jordinelli
was offered $12 900 in cash for his
place of business. When the vote
at last springs election had been
counted. Jordenelli discovered
that his saloon wasn't worth a
cent. The same thing happened
to numerous other men in the
same business, not only in BOul-
der but in the various small towns
throughout the county.
