SO far, to refuse to go on seemed like

and the impish demon. loneliness, he

again. Blindly, she picked up her um-

"Homesick?" asked the kindly brake

gerated the dangers of life in the new
land. 1t was great fun to shock his
credulous relatives. He had surely
written them some enormous tales
during those Is years and more. He
used TO chuckle heartily to himself
at reading some Of the sympathizing
replies. But these tales were held in
evidence against him now that he
dared to want Louise. Every letter
was brought out by Louise's dear old
grandmother and read to her over
again. Louise did not half believe
them, but they were gospel truth to
her grandmother and almost SO to
her father and mother as well. She re-
membered the old spirit of fun ram

his vivid pictures took all the color
from her sensitive face, deep down in
her heart she recognized them for

snowslides Near Telluride.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Telluride Tuesday night says: -
More than dozen men were caught
in snowslides today in different min
ing camps near here and their escape
from death Is considered wonderful.
One miner, a Greek, name unknown,
was SO badly injured that he was un-
conscious until late hour tonight and
1t is feared that he may die.
Five men in one party and three in
another were carried long distances
and buried, but were quickly dug out.
The Valley View slide this forenoon
was one of the worst. A large party
of miners was trying to open the trail
when the slide came down and caught
five of the party They were carried
distance Of 1000 feet. Their fellow
workmen Immediately followed the
work dug out the buried men, who
were not badly injured.
Another slide occurred Just below
the Liberty Bell mine, three men be-
ing caught and carried several hun
dred feet down the mountain side. A
fourth man in their party escaped the
slide and reported the accident. After
few hours work the men were res
cued. One OF the party, Greek, was
unconscious when rescued and he may
not recover.
A slide just below the Stilwell tun-
mel almost caught party of men who
were driving a six-horse team and
wagon. The horses were caught, one
being killed, but the men escaped
without injury.
The Ajax slide, back of the Smuggler-
Union mill. is said to be running to-
night and 1t is expected that several
slides will occur before morning, but
it is believed that the people will keep
far enough away to avert loss of life.
A second slide near the Valley View
mine carried away most of the bNek-
Jmith shop. No one was working in
the shop at the time and NO other dam
age was done.

CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS.
Commissioner Smith Says That Pub
Ilolty 10 the Great Corrective.

Ilolty 10 the Great Corrective.
Washington, : Public opinion has
been prompt and enicient in the cor
rection Of commercial evils when those
evils are stated specifically.
This is one of the conclusions
reached by Herbert Knox Smith, COM
missioner Of corporations, and ex-
pressed In the annual report Of the
operations Of the bureau Of corpora
tions. just made public.
Naturally, under present conditions,
the real power of public opinion
reaches only such cases as may be
specifically stated"
Thus" says Commissioner Smith,
'the experience of the bureau seems to
point logically to the need for an ex-
tension Of such results by the creation
of general administrative system of
supervision Of interstate corporations
which shall give, in substantially the
same form as is furnished now for
few corporations, the essential facts
relating to all the great interstate cor
porations.
Whether the system takes the form
of federal license plan or simple re-
quirement that interstate corporations
shall make reports and submit their
books to federal bureau, is of little
consequence SO long as the information
necessary for publicity is obtained. The
thing that is important is to arrive at a
system which will accomplish the re-
suit; which will enable the govern
ment to deal with such corporations in
the main by administrative supervis-
ion rather than judicial procedure;
xrrho Nfh
rather than penal; and, most i'm
portant of all, system which will af-
ford permanent practical ground for
contract and cooperation between the
government officials charged with this
work on the one hand and corporate
managers on the other hand.
at is with such information as the
bureau Of corporations is able, under
the law, to collect and publish, that the
great corrective force of public opin-
ion can be intelligently and efficiently
directed at those industrial evils that
constitute the most important of our
present problems.
Corporate combination as such ap-
pears to not only be an economic nee
essity, but also largely an accomplished
fact. 1t is not the existence Of indus
trial power, but rather is misuse that
is the real problem. The government
should direct its attention toward pre-
venting unfair methods and toward
keeping open the opportunities for
competitive industry"
Commissioner Smith says he is con-
tinuing the Investigations already be-
gun into the industries Of petroleum,
tobacco and steel. Under resolutions
adopted by the last congress the bu-
reau is also making Investigations into
the operations of the International Har-
vester Company, the cause OF high
price of lumber, into the causes of
fluctuations and differences in the
price Of cotton, and into patents
granted to officers and employees of the
United States. An inquiry also is be-
Ing conducted into water transporta-
tion, both coastwise and internal.

Many thought It was among the best
repertoire organizations which have
appeared here this season and this is
saying great deal. Raymond Paine
and Miss Grace King stood out proml-
nently in the leading roles. Miss King
is petite little actress and evidenced
unusual ability for the leading lady of
popular priced organization. The sup
port was good.
Rural Alvin" the rube comedian,
looked the part to perfection and scor-
ed a good many hearty laughs from
the audience with his monologues and
singing specialtles. His makeup
could only be improved upon by the
artist on the "B!ngvIlle Bugle."
The vaudeville features came in for
much praise. DeHollis and Valera
brought down the house with their
comic Juggling, and Baby Dodo proved
a wonderfully clever child artist.
Tonight the company will be seen in

The governor has in preparation a
statement of the reasons for taking
this action, which will be made pub.
lie in the course of few days.
Late yesterday afternoon Governor
Dawson dsapproved house bill No. 90,
relating to licenses. The executive
questions the validity of the act under
his call and also cites that it cuts the
State out OF much revenue.
House bill No. 30 caused spirited
fight between the Senate and the
House at the special session which
adjourned last week. The bill orig
mated in the House, and in It was a
provision that the State should re.
cetve as license tax from retail deal.
ers the same amount as a municipal.
ity when the latter charged more
than the regular State tax of 5000.
When the bill went to the Senate
the upper body of the Legislature
struck this provision out of the bill.
The house would not concur in the
amendment, and conference com
mittee was appointed. The confer
ence committee reported on the last
day of the session. The report was
a victory for the Senate, inasmuch as
the provision allowing the State to
charge as much as the municipality
was not adopted. but another provIs-
ion was Inserted which prevented
cities from granting a retail liquor
license for less than $500. Thus
when the bill was passed a mini
mum license fee had ben fixed but
the maximum tax was left to the dis
erection OF the cities. It is said that
this would be cutting OF the revenue
at both ends, the State probably los
ing 100000 a year.
