falling rock, while his hand was rest
ing on timber. The blow caused
him to loosen his grip and he fell

A Mail pouch in its Travels

A mail pouch was received at the
jackson post Office tuesday stamped
all over with the names of the diff err
ent postmasters who had handled it
in the transaction of the mail busI-
ness. These signatures indicate that
it had travelled over nearly all OF the
Atlantic, Middle West aud Pacific
coast states, one or more signatures
of each state being affixed thereto.
1t will probable continue on its
travels until it has been decorated
with the writing of postmasters
through the Southern states also.

not represented in the stamping bust
ness. 1t is circulated as curiosity
in Its way. OF course, the post
masters are not required to atiiX their
names to letter pouches in this way.
But some one started the practice
with this particular bag, and others
followed suit, and 30 the endless
cham has been kept in motion. The
Jackson office added its stamp to the
muohly signed pouch.

A Generous Rain.

Wednesday afternoon a gentle rain
commenced falling, aud continued
intermittingtly all through the night.
For several hours the welcome
down pour was quite heavy, convert
Ing the dust into mud about the town
streets, and etfectuaIly settling the
dust on the county roads. BY Thurs
day morning over on inch of rain had
descended. 1t was warm rain too,
and reached far up in the mountains.
This copious fall has wonderfully
improved the situation from the
water supply standpoint. 1t has
almost dissipated the fears of water
famine as regards the mining
interests. 1t takes considerable rain
at the commencement of the season
to have any effect in raising the
streams. Two or three inches is alb
sorbed by the soil after a long dry
spell. Still it is believed that this
first storm will insure an ample water
supply for all purposes from now on.

Peoples Party Platform.

St. Louis.--The platform adopted by
the Peoples party convention declares
that the issuing of money is func-
tion of the government alone that
should not be delegated to any corpo-
ration or industry. The demand is
made that money be issued direct to
the people without the Intervention of
banks and be full legal tender for
all debts, public and private. The
working of the national banking law
is criticised and the demand made that
the power to issue money be taken
from the banks. The Aldrich bill is de.
nounced as "a method by which the
nation and the people can both be
robbed. 1t has not in 1t an intelligent
purpose that is honest"
The Fowler bill is also denounced.
The plank on trusts demands that
the government own and control the
railroads, and all public utilities which
in their nature are monopolies. Own
ershop of the general telegraph and tel
ephone lines and parcels post are
also asked.
The taxation of monopoly privileges
while they remain in private hands is
another feature of this plank. Other
planks favored initiation and referen-
dun and the power to recall from Of
flee dislOyal Or inefficient representa-.
tives.
The enactment of legislation looking
to the improvement of conditions for
wage earners.
Abolition of child labor and suppress
sion of sweat shops.
Abolition of convict, as opposed to
free labor.
Exclusion from American shores of
foreign pauper labor.
Eight-hour work day and legislation
in favor Of safety appliances for work
ingmen.
Enactment of an employers liability
act within constitutional bounds.
Immediate adoption of precaution-
ary measures to prevent repetition
Of recent mining disasters.
Work on public institutions in
times of depression, for unemployed
men.
The passage OF law prohibiting
courts from assuming Jurisdiction in
vovling the constitutionality of any
law enacted by Congress and ap-
proved by the President. The maintain
ing of farmers organizations and ex.

Cook Scores Pinehof.

Washlngton.-In the closing debate
in the House on the agricultural bill.
Representative Cook challenged the
statement recently Published by For
ester Pinchot that the receipts Of his
bureau are in excess Of the expendt-
lures. He cited the Testimony Of Mr.
Pinchot before the agricultural epall'
mittee that expenses Of his bureau fOr
the year ending June 30, 1907, were
$64 900 In excess Of the receipts.
He predicted that the receipts ft,r
the current year would not show AN
increase. as predicted by Pinchot, but
on the contrary, would show de-.
crease on account of the inactivity in
mines usually using large quantities.
of timber. MIR. Cook said further thatI
the price placed on mining timber by
the bureau, IS per thousand, is unreaa-
enable and excessive.
He called attention to the arbitrary
ruling of the bureau requiring mining
companies purchasing timber to cut
and remove it'from the forests within
q year. In closing he said:

Five Million Carnegie GIFT.

New ork-Announcement was
made Friday night that Andrew Carne-
gle would add $5,000,0 900 to the fund of
the Carnegie foundation or whatever
sum might be necessary to include as
pension beneficiaries eligible profes-
sors of state universities.
No provision was made for this class
OF educators In the original gift for the
reason stated by Mr.. Carnegie at the
time, that the donor thought 1t posi-.
BILE that such institutions might prefer
that their relations should continue
exclusively with the state from which
their chief support was derived.
This view was not taken by the Ma.
tional Association Of State Universi-
ties, which In the year following the
establishment of the foundation peti.
toned the trustees for admittance to
the benefits Of the retiring allowance
system. 1t was then found that the
earnings Of the original fund Of $1O,-
100000 were exhausted through the
outlet already planned and that II the
faculties Of all state universities were
to be benefited an additional $5,0O0,.
900 would be required.

BRITISH PREMIER RESIGNS.
Will Be Succeeded by Herbert n. A.
quith, Chancellor of Exchequer.


London.-Great Britain Sunday
night is in a peculiar position, being
without either premier or ministry
The long expected resignation of Sir
Henry CampbellBannerman the prime
minister. was officially announced. Ac-
cording to the court circular, he re-
signed on the urgent recommendation
Of his medical advisers. As the con-
stitution of the country provides no
automatic successor, 1t resting with the
King to choose new head of the gov
ernment, and in accordance with GUS
tom and precedent, the whole cabinet
resigns with the premier, no step to
appoint ministry can be taken until
Herbert H. Asquith, chancellor of the
exchequer. who has been summoned to
Biarritz for the purpose, has seen the
King.
The position of the country is quite
unprecedented, there being no previous
example of change occurring in the
premiership while the sovereign was
abroad. On this account the course OF
procedure to be followed is in some
doubt.
Sir Henry's condition remains un-
changed, according to the physicians
bulletin posted today. The King, In
telegraphing his acceptance Of the pre-
mier's resignation. conveyed an ex-
preston of his regret and esteem, with
best wishes for Sir Henry's recovery.
Chancellor Asquith, who has been
acting premier for some time past,
will leave for Biarritz Immediately. At
cabinet meeting, specially called, he
submitted the premier's resignation
and the situation was fully discussed.
AsQuith's accession to the premier
ship will ne well received by all Sec
tions Of his party with the possible ex-
ception of the extreme radical and la
Dor men. who are inclined to see
in his imperialistic views the end Of
some OF their aspirations for Socialistic
reforms.
Similar feelings are likely to prevail
in the Irish benches of the house,
where he Is not regarded as sure
friend of home rule in any degree be-
yond giving Ireland control of her
merely local affairs.

Colorado Railroad Progress.

Denver.-Electrifca of railroads
seems to be the order of the day and
numerous Colorado roads are now pre-.
pairing to apply the Juice" to parts of
their lines. Gigantic power companies
are throwing their currents all over the
state, rendering electricity a compare
lively cheap commodity, and as 1t
is more available in some ways
than steam power. it will be used very
extensively in the near future.
The Colorado & Southern railroad
has about completed its electric line to
Boulder Eldorado Springs and other
points. Twelve big new cars are being
finished for this service, and beginning
May 1st, or thereabouts, hourly cars
will run between Denver and Boulder.
The cars are to be delivered in Den
yer April 25th and 1t is thought pos
sible to put them in use by May 1st.
This electric line built by the Colo
RADIO & Southern follows right along
the ne of the steam road, and will be
devoted almost entirely to passenger
traffic The cars will enter Denver
over the Twenty-third street viaduct
and pass over Arapahoe street This
will afford suburban service to such
places as Harris and other country
sites near Denver
The Moffat railroad is now figuring
with the Central Power Company for
electric power in handling heavy trains
over mountain grades. Electric power
enables trains to take the grades with
comparative ease and If the present
plan works out as anticipated the
heavy freight trains may all be taken
across the steep grades of the divide In
this manner. Electric engines would
be employed at the necessary points to
take the trains over.
Work On the Moffat road proper is
now progressing rapidly and steel rails
are now being laid on the other side
of Yarmony. A. tracklaying machine
is being pressed into service, making it
possible to lay about two miles per day.
About 1000 men will be employed to
take the line into Steamboat Springs
as soon as the weather settles.
