The bitter opposition Of large por-

Growers association. to the policy Of
the federal government as to the for
est reserves, bids fair to disrupt the
entire organization. 1t is certain
that three of the largest local horse
and cattle growers associations Of the
state will withdraw from the main
body and it is likely that they will
be joined by many others.
1t is announced by officials Of the

will tap the new Greeley -Poudre ir-

new line will begin within three
weeks. and that Thousand men will
be put to work ON the grading. Seven

within the appropriation. One of
these features was the administra-
ton building.
The recent legislature appropriated
$4,000 which will be available after
the collection of taxes next winter,
so it was decided to spend about
$4,000 in making the administration
building all that it ought to be and
permanent. Other of the added i'm
provements will be the plumbing in
the cell building, which had not been
provided for.
The recent law providing the added
money also gives the board of con-
troll the privileges. in its discretion,
of providing light, sewerage and
ice plants that will not only provide
for the needs of the prison, but will
care for the necessities of the town
of Florence, the latter to remunerate
the institution for its portion of the
service. The idea is that these pub
lie utilities may be handled to better
advantage in common, and if the
board so decides it has power to act
accordingly. These things, however, if
undertaken at all, will not be entered
upon until the first of the year, when
the money becomes available

Geneva, N. Y, May 24.-An unusual
astronomical phenomenon which had
the appearance of a comet close to the
earth was observed early today at
Smith observatory by William R.
Brooks. professor of astronomy, at
Hobart college.
The object was visible in the east
ern sky from ? to O'clock he said.
1t had the appearance of a gigantic
naked eye comet with a large head
ana tail of enormous proportions
When first seen the head was in the
great square of Pegasus and the tail
stretched upward toward the north
star, at one time reaching the Chair
of Cassiopea. Its motion was rapidly
eastward.
AT 2:30 am. the head enveloped the
star Algenib and by o'clock had
reached the horizon. Soon after the
tail was lost in the rapidly advancing

A STORY OF SUFFERING
COMES FROM THE NORTH
The Survivors of the Wrecked Steamer
Columbia.

Seattle Wash, May 24.-Cable mes
sages from Seward, Alaska, say that
the mail steamer Dora has arrived
there with 1874 survivors of the wrecked
ship Columbia, which went ashore near
Unimak Pass. The survivors tell tales
Of suffering and heroism that have
seldom been exceeded. The Dora had
accommodations for but eighty six
the load of 240.
The Columbia grounded in a blind
ing snowstorn on the night of April
80, eight miles east of Unimak Pass,
in terrific surf.
On the vessel were fifty three Itali-
ans, ninety-siX Japanese, forty five
Americans and several Scandinavians
The Italians became panic stricken and
seized the first boat lowered They were
restrained only at the point of guns
Finally a lifeline was established to
the shore. All the boats We're smash
ed. Many were overcome and nearly
drowned by the icy waters which swept
over the ship.
On shore a hut five by seven feet
was the only shelter Provisions were
brought ashore from the ship. One
woman, the Australian wife of Captain
Cameron was in the party.
The party then made its way, after
terrible hardships to the Scotch Cape
lighthouse.
They crossed rocky ravines OF deep
snow and dashing torrents. The woman
collapsed and was carried by the men,
who were scarcely able to crawl.
On May 2, the Columbia burned to
the waters edge in a storm. On May
II, the Dora appeared. There was bad
weather. and it required a whole day
to take aboard the exhausted surviv-

REMODEL|NG PLANS
FOR PEN|TENT|ARY
Administration Building Will Be of
Reinforced Concrete and Fireproof.

Architect Fitzhugh will go to Flor
ence today to inspect the work on
the territorial prison, which so far
has progressed nicely. 1t is under
stood that the plans for the admin
istration building will be changed
somewhat making it a better struc-
ture, of reinforced concrete, entirely
fireproOf, and in harmony with the
other structures comprising the prison
settlement.
This is no reflection on the original
plan, but is an advantage made pos
sible by the twenty-fifth legislature.
The original appropriation was for
$4,000, which was not quite as much
money as was needed to make as
good a prison as was desired A
good one was accordingly planned and
some features of it We're abridged
or made for temporary service, in
order to bring the total expenditure
