Schmitz reached this city early this
week and has been spending the time
aince his arrival in trying to recover
from the effects OF exposure.
DR.. Schmitz and party of friends left
this city some months ago for the sui
ny land of Old Mexico. While the nat
ural scenic attractions were to bo Of
great interest, it was the purpose Of
tho party to study the natives and their
peculiar customs In fact, the party
expected to secure information that
heretofore has remained hidden fror,
foreign eyes. They spent several
weeks in rhe city of Mexico and took
q number Of side trips into the inter
Tor. Guadala jara and other interesting
places were visited. On one occasion
tho parry took an auto trip into tn"
country inhabited by the faquis. just
as the sun was disappearing and dark
ness was all but upon them, the auto
broke down. The party was unarmeI,
they having trusted to the speed of tho
auto to carry them through the haunts
of the "bad" men. But imagine their
surprise, when, upon learning their pre-
dicament, the Yaquis came to their as
sistance. The auto proved of no spe'
cial interest to them, for they seemed
more or less familiar with its workings.
The Yaquis were among the most hos
pitable people they met on the long
tourney. The Doctor and his friends
were provided with comfortable quar-
ters during the night, and given good
feeds and were assisted in making the
needed repairs on the machine. They
were assured hearty welcome should
they ever return. This is said 10 ha7

in which all who could took some par.

SUGGESTS A PLAN
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
In regard to franchise being askel
for by Mutual Light, Heat and Powe-
company, through Mr.. Holmes, l. for
one, as 4 believer in municipal owner
ship, want to see clause inserted by
which the town may become the owner
of it.
This can be done by having a por-
tion, say one-half the profits, go into
a sinking fund, to pay off the indebt-
edness and 4 stipulation that the plant
shall become the property of the town
as soon as the debts are paid off.
Thus, the town would automatically
get the system in time, without the
expenditure of a dollar except for
lighting the town, which would natur-
ally go to the new company.
The promoters of the company should
be willing to do this if they are, as
they profess to be, in favor of the
town ultimately owning the plant. 1
am, Yours Respectfully,
A TAXPAYER.

Mr.. Dougan announced some weeks
AGO that it was the intention of the
company to do some building the com

rnrchase of the above lots at that
time. In speaking of the proposed
building, Mr.. Dougan said Wednesday
eve will erect one house on lot s.
block Al, and another on the Colorado
avenue lot. The plans are to erect
four OF fiveroom cottages suitable for
small families. They will be as nea.
as any cottages on these avenues, anu
we believe they will add greatly to the
appearance of the particular sections

HIGH SCHOOL RUNNERS
ENTER SPRINGS
TRACK MEET
ROBERTSON, RICE AND COLES
WILL RACE FOR GRIM.
SON AND CREAM

The local high school on Thursday
of this week sent the necessary money
as entrance fees, and three of the boys
will enter the track and field meet to
be held by the state high schools on
May l.
Those entering and the events they
will take part in are as follows:
Robertson, l00.yard and 220-yard
dashes, and running broad jump.
Rice, ssO-yard and mile runs
Coles, 44O-yard, SSOyard and mile
runs.
Although Rice suffered severe ac
cident to one of his feet several
months ago, the wound has healed and
he is more than making good.
He and Coles make Il great team in
the long events. They have
fine power of endurance and promise
to make the other fellows go some to
win from them.
Robertson should have no trouble in
the broad jump. His work at Boulder
last year makes him "A favoritc. Iu
the dashes he will have greater opposi-
ton. Delta, Boulder and Longmont
have fast 100-yard men, but Robertson
should get either first or second in
that event, while he should win the
22O with ease.
Glenwood will have formidable ar
ray of athletes when the western slope
schools meet here May 30. The boys
had counted much on O'Berto and
Slinkard, but their entering Denver
schools removed all hope. But the
track and field teams will be much
better than last year. The contest this
year will be close and exciting and II

is one of the best athletes among the

30 MINERS REPORTED DEAD
Explosion in British Columbia En-.
tonbs Sixty Men-Feared Death
List Will Be Larger.

Victoria, B. c., Oct. 6.-Thirty min
ers are believed to be dead as the
result of an explosion at the Extension
mine of the Wellington Colliery Com.
pany. The death list likely will be
even larger, as so miners were en-.
tombed by the explosion, with slight
chance of rescue.
The shock was terrific. but it's effect
was confined to the stope wherein it
occurred. All of the men in the other
slopes and levels escaped.
No bodies had been recovered up to
late hour. Fifty men were engaged
in rescue work. Hundreds of inhab-
itants and miners volunteered aid,
but the nature of the rescue work pre-
clGded more than 80 being engaged.
The rescIers hoped the flames
would die down, so as to permit the
rescue of the entombed. but their
chances seemed hopeless.
The explosion was due to fire damp,
the timbers in two levels at once ig-
hitting and the fire spreading with
great rapidity.
Residents of Nanaiao have been pre-
vented from going to Extension,
where the disaster occurred, and only
rescuers, miners and officials are on
the scene.

the cordial greeting extended to
strangers made them feel warmly well
come.
