FIRST OF DAMAGE
BILLS OF w. F. OF n.
MAKES APPEARANCE

Denver, Jan. 19.-What is known as
the Western Federation of Miners bill
made its first appearance in the legis-
lature yesterday These measures have
for their purpose the payment to the
w. F. NJ. of certain sums because of
the damage sustained by that organt-
zation during the strike in Cripple
Creek. Yesterday three bills were in
troduced, two of them by Pueblo re-
presentatives. Representative Bellies
field introduced one bill asking for an
appropriation of $4,000 to pay for
damage which occurred to a store in
Cripple Creek. Representative Metz
introduced a bill appropriating $4,000
for the destruction of another store.
Representative Reuben introduced an
other bill appropriating $4,000 for the
destruction of hall in Cripple Creek
The two stores and hall were de-
stroyed by the residents of Cripple
Greek and in one instance by the mil
itia. These are the first of a series of
bills which are to be presented. No
doubt their Introduction and attempt
ed enactment will cause one of the
hardest fights in the session.
Senator Burris, of Pueblo, intro
duced a measure which gives the al
dermen of Pueblo and Colorado
Springs the right to increase the sal
aries OF the city attorneys In those two
cities from $50 to $3.50 a month.

W. A. WATSON RETIRED FROM
THE CATTLE BUSINESS

w. A. Watson and sons. Lynn and
Lester and w. A. Watson, Jr., have
disposed OF their cattle interests and
retired from the live stock business.
the last delivery OF animals from the
ranch being made at Pueblo on Sat-
urday.
Mr.. Watson had been engaged in the
cattle business in Colorado for twen-
ty-five years or more and for a decade
has been one OF the most conspicuous
stockmen in the southern portion OF
the state. For some time he had been
reducing his live stock holdings and
only had six or seven hundred head
on hand when the final sale was made
"A comparatively small number to
what he owned in former years.
The story published In the Denver
and Pueblo papers day or two ago
about the price Mr.. Watson received
for his cattle and the extent of his
leases, was grossly exaggerated. be-
ing the dream of an imaginative and
irresponsible reporter. 1t was asserted
NhdN NIL "dtSVu pstiu StVV.VVu
for his cattle and that he held lease
on 100000 acres of land In Custer
county. The actual price paid him by
the Tompkins Cattle company. which
was the purchaser. has not been made
public. but was good deal less than
the amount named above.
The leases referred to covered a ter
ritory OF about $4,000 acres and were
valuable part of the property con-
veyed in the transfer. Mr.. Watson
made no reservations, except a few
milk COWS. and will not again embark
In the live stock business. He will
continue TO make his homo on the
ranch. near Wetmore. where he yet
has extensive agricultural interests.
Most OF the cattle on the Watson
ranch were Of the Hereford and Short
Horn Durham varietiss.

TREMENDOUS OIL WELL PUSH.
California Gusher Breaks Through
Eight Foot Cap of Cement.

The breaking out of the great Pal
mer well in Cat Canon, Santa Maria
after being shut in for some two weeks
while the great sumpholes and tanks
were being emptied, again draws at
tention to that great wonder Of Cali
fornia.
So big is this gusher that the east
ern oil mans mind seems incapable OF
grasping 1t. The we'll was capped by
an enormous block of solid cement
eight feet in height placed right over
the top Of the pipe. The pressure up
on this was reckoned at some 40C
pounds to the inch.
The we'll broke loose on Friday
evening, according to the dispatches
That 1t should have lifted the huge
block seems incredible. 1t was antic-
ipated on Thursday that this would
be removed in a day or two, and pre-.
parations were then on for that event
which was looked forward to with an
ticipation all over the vast field. Quite
a few in the older district and in towr
were keeping posted with view tc
going in automobiles eighteen to TWEEN
ty miles to see 1t start again.

ing a special authority on the industry

declares impossible is known to all tt
be actually short of literal truth.

with gliding and fine leather in rich

They say in Boston that Dana after

companionship developed into some
thing Of an exquisite in dress and de-
pertinent 1t is even told Of this man,
who as a youth accepted all the hard
conditions Of the forecastle and after
ward took immense pains to trace out
the fate of his old messmates, that he

Even a few of the poets outsell In
the long run any but the best of the
popular novelists. Longfellow outsells
in the United States all his fellow
poets, native or other, except Shakes
peare. Whittier comes next to Long
fellow in the American demand and the
other American poets trail a long way
behind.
Strangely enough, there is a large
and steady sale Of Bryants "Iliad" but
a very moderate demand for his origi-
nal verse. Whitman's verse which
never for any length of time afforded
him royalties enough for his modest
wants, now sell in costly editions.
Holiness verse has always had pref
ty steady sale, but small in compari-
son with the "Autocrat Of the Break
fast Table" His approaching centen-
nial is expected to stimulate interest
in his books, though anniversary occa-
sions are of uncertain value to the pub
fishers. There was no greatly in
creased sale of Millions poetry last
year, although the tercentenary Of the
poet attracted much interest.
Tennyson outsells in this country
most native poets, and Browning,
thanks in part to societies formed for
the study Of his verse, comes close af-
ter Tennyson. A few single volumes
of verse outsell the collected works of
most poets. The "Child's Garden of
Verses" Is one such, and "The Bah Bal
lads" Is another. Lear's Book Of Nom
sense" has had more than sixty years
Of popularity and 1t sells better today
than most serious verse.
About the most popular of all trans
lated verse in English is FitzGerald's
"Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam." 1t Is
bought in all sorts Of editions by and
for folks who think the possession Of the
volume mark Of culture. The sale of
the FitzGerald masterpiece since the
copyright expired about twenty years
ago has been a marvel Of the publish
ing business.
