WORDS OF PRAISE FOR
MRS. FELTER'S BOOK BY
THE LEADING PAPERS

The Denver Republican has given
half a column in its literary depart
ment to the merits of the book. Among
other things it says: THE verses are
on familiar themes but the handling
is in every case unique. They have
been the outgrowth of home life and
of persistent effort to find the good
and beautiful in life ETC."
The Pueblo Star-Journal says:
Mrs. l.. w. Felter, who in the past
has contributed frequently to num-
ber of the newspapers of the state,
has published little volume of
poems entitled Landscapes and Wat
erscapes." The book is prettily got
ten up, but its appearance is the least
part of its value. 1t contains a num-
Der of short poems of more than usual
attractiveness and the gifted woman
who wrote them is TO be thoroughly
congratulated.
''The book will be notable addition
to the literary efforts that have been
made in this section of the country
recently, breathing as it does the at
mosphere of the mountains and plains
and being redolent of the influence
exerted by the surrounding country"

GAS FROM HOT ASH HEAP
KILLS SLEEPING MAN

Pueblo, April 27.-Another victim
was claimed Friday night by the fatal
ash heap of the Denver & Rio Grande
in 'tthe grove and a second man who
was found almost in the throes of
death was saved by Police Surgeon
Huff. The man who was killed by
the ashes was an Austrian whose
name is unknown. His partner, Jake
Durec, who was revived, did not know
his name. beyond that he called him
Louis.
The two men arrived here from
Canon City and sought the refuge of
the tramps in the warm ashes where
several years ago the Denver & Rio
Grande had its dump heap. The ashes
have been burning from that time
and the fumes which arise are deadly.
The dead man had evidently strug-
gled for his life. He had turned over
on his face and had been badly
burned. Turec's life probably was
placed over his face before he fell
asleep. In his struggles the handker-
chief became cought, around his
mouth and he was unable to breathe
as much of the fumes as his COM
panion. A week ago another Aust
rian who camped in the same place
was found dead, and the authorities
believed it was case of suicide.
In the last two years four or five
men have been asphyxiated on the
ash heap. 1t has become so danger
GUS that the railroad company has
for year been attempting to extin-
guish the burning ashes. but the more
water that is poured on the more
more deadly are the fumes.

A Signal Service to the Community

for the road and that without the ac-
tive interest OF Colorado Springs the
thing couldn't be done.
But not SO with Mr.. McLain. He
took committee to Denver to talk to
the senator's and representatives. Lit
tie interest could be worked up. Our
own representatives and senator
were as nice as could be but every
other member had his own bills for
roads and bridges. There were thou
sand roads asked for and a million
dollars needed-out of fund OF
about 100000.
1t looked dark for our bill. Most
everybody gave up hope and came
home. But Mr.. McLain kept up cour-
age and took entire charge of the mat
ter. He spent several weeks at the
capital, with one object in view to get
that road bill. He found out the in
fluential members, courted them, BAN
quoted them and used every honorable
means to get their support for our
measure.
That he succeeded beyond all hope
is shown by the fact that we started
out to get an appropriation of $4,000
and ended by getting over $4,000.
Much credit is due Representative
Bell and Durfee and Senators Lines
and Scott and Senator Skinner of
Colorado Springs. They all did their
share but the fact remains that with
out the active, intelligent effort of Mr..
c. R. McLain the appropriation would
never have been pushed through that
session of the legislature.
The city of Canon City owes Mr.. c.
R. McLain a vote of thanks.

TO TEST VALIDITY OF
THE CIVIL SERVICE Law

Denver. April 27.-At a conference
between the members of the civil SER
vice commission the members of the
boards of control of the various state
institutions, the employees of which
are under the civil service commits
sion, and the governor it was agreed
yesterday to bring law suit, the OBJ
ject of which is to test the validity of
the civil service law. 1t is the inten-
ton to have the attorney general
general to bring quo warranto pro-
ceeding in the supreme court against
the members of the commission GUST
ing them from Office. This, it is be-
lieved, will be the quickest way OF
testing the provisions of the law.
There is no denying the fact that
there is much conflict between the
members of the commission and the
various institutions because of the
different political aspects of the con-
the civil service commission, one be-
ing Republican and the others Demo
cratic. The boards of control maintain
that unless they are allowed to EN-
ploy the help they cannot give an ef-
fcient service as Is required.
