MUSICAL TRAIN SUGGESTED
Editor Call: Having witnessed
nearly all of the we'll planned and
finely executed details Of the Portola
festival of public character. win say
that the singing of the 5000 school
Gus and excellent management, more
fully presented to me the hopes, cheer,
life and expectancy of San Francisco
than any other single event, glorious
as all were.
Those children were thrilled with
joy and the most buoyant, patriotic
emotions.
I suggest that during the next vaca-
tion of the schools a musical demon
stratfon railway train be sent to all of
the principal railway towns OF the
state, loaded to the full with the best
drilled children OF the bay cities, in
charge of Miss Carpenter, to hold mu-
steal institutes. with invitations of CO.
operation to the local schools wherever
the train goes. to the end that county
organizations of like character may be
formed and as result a state musical
institute or carnival, composed Of chill
dren from every school in the state. be
held some three years hence. Respect

Those sitting about the porch had be-
come interested in the conversation
and gathered about the group.

AS Felix saw him the next morning
after his wild ride down the mountain,
PROSTATE, pale and haggard, his beau
tiful bright red hair, turned to a soft
silky white, his heart sank within him
and he felt more than words could
express.
Consequently he took Vermilion' S
rebuffs in the kindest manner possible
and when he informed him what he
was going to do, answered him in the
simplest and most courteous manner
possible.

Under the skillful attention of the
Judges daughter, who had revealed
the fact that she was a trained nurse
and had volunteered her service, Yer
million had regained sufficient
strength and composure to be able to
be around somewhat, and the third
day following his eventful ride down
the mountain, he appeared for the
first time, sitting with group of men
upon the spacious north porch. From
his position he could survey the entire
valleys of the Clearwater and Snake
rivers and had a full view of the
mountain across the Clearwater, down
which the stage driver had so unex-
pectedly and almost fatally driven him
but a few days previous.
AS he studied the steep serpent
like road winding down the noun
tain side, his face flushed with re-
sentiment. Had they informed me
that they were going to test me, /
would have been prepared for the
worst AS it was, without mo-
ment warning | was ushered into the
face of death, not knowing whether
the driver was crazed with liquor, had
gone stark mad or the horses had be-
come manageable. | simply knew
that we were being rushed down the
mountain at.full speed, needing neither
turn or rocks, and at times note even
following the road. 1t wasn't a
square deal
AS he meditated, his indignation
rose to the point of fury. Had he
not been made toy of and placed in
a very unfavorable light. His having
almost succumbed TO fright would
cause him to be looked upon as weak
and unfit to associate with the strong
men of the west. This thought ate
at his pride and stirred within him
strong feelings of resentment and re-
venge.
He would strike fatal blow at the
boosted king of stage drivers that
would wrest the title from him if it
took his last sou. More than that,
he would set trap that would en-
tangle the Inland Transportation
company in financial ruin, thereby
not only humbling Felix Warren but
utterly running him.
This had been his first thought
upon restoration to consciousness,
and revenge ranking at his heart
had played no small part in his slow
recovery. Hatred overheats the
blood, causing the formation of a
poisonous agent that not only prevents
the building of new health giving it's
sue but actually consumes that already
formed. 1t has been known where
people have literally been consumed
with their own hate. Was this not
what was keeping him here still weak
and unable to travel when he should
be on the way fulfilling the mission
for which he had come into the
country1 Instead he had sent mes
sage to California and was now ex-
pecting the arrival, any day, of a
man, who, Vermilion hoped would
wrest the title from Felix. He would
dethrone him, and this too, on his
own ground and in the face of all
his boosted supporters, comprising al
most the entire population of the In
land Empire.
Felix, on the other hand, hac
shown his deepest regrets for hi,
thoughtlessness, and was showerine

Proposed New Counties.

Holt county is proposed by bill in
the House by Lem Cannon of El Paso.
Il is to be carved from Ebert and Ell
Paso counties, taking half of the for
mer and a section in the northeast
part of the latter. Within the boundar-
les will be Ramah and Calhan, now in
FL Paso and several good lively burgs
of Ebert. There also appeared Mon
day a bill that was turned down two
years ago to make North Park into a
county. This is now part of Larimer

To Test Forestry Riahts.

The bill prepared by Attorney Jonn
7. Barnett authorizing him to test the
legality of the forestry service rules,
and the so-called encroachment of the
federal government upon states rights
in this respect is sweeping in its char
acter. Not only does it permit an in
vestigation and test of the forestry
service rules and laws, but also of the
federal agricultural and interior de
partments.
Perhaps the most drastic feature of
it is that it authorizes the attorney
general to commence and prosecute
government officials under the civil
and criminal statutes, wherever it is
found that they have encroached upon
state rights or usurped them. 1t also
authorizes him to intervene on behalf
of the state of Colorado in any case
brought by an individual or association
against the government, or in any case
brought by the government against in
dividuals or associations. For the pur-
pose of prosecution 100000 is appro-
priated by the bill to allow him to carry
on the work. The attorney general
did not believe that he possessed the
power to prosecute under the present
statutes, so in order to carry out the
recommendations in Governor Shat
roth's inaugural address,, he drew the
special bill

Bill to Curb spendthrifts.

Senator De Long has introduced
bill to prevent married men from dissi-
pating their fortunes. Senator De
Longs idea is to allow the state to ap-
point a conservator of a mans estate If
he begins to spend his money foolishly,
just as the county does in the case of
an insane man. For fool is an insane
man, in Senator De Longs notion.
Those who inherit few thousand DOL
lars and become overbalanced with
desire to spend it, or those who start
to get away with small fortunes are
the ones at whom the bill is aimed.
1t is intended to protect the state from
the expense of supporting the wives
and children of men who are afflicted
with high finance fever.

Board of immigration.

Secretary ]. C. Craig of the Colorado
Commercial Association has prepared
a bill for the creation of a board of
immigration, which has received the
approval of the different commercial
organizations. 1t provides for board
of three to be appointed by the COVER
nor to be called the board of immigra-
tion. This board shall appoint COM
missioner who shall do the active
work. His duties are defined as fol-
lows:
ITO collect reliable information and
statistics regarding agriculture, stock
growing and feeding, horticulture, min
ing, manufacturing, climate and health
in Colorado, and such other matters
as the said board may from time to
time determine, and to publish the
same with view to attracting health
seekers, tourists, investors and pros
pective settlers to the state; to prepare
and cause to be circulated books, pam
phlets, leaflets and other literature,
illustrated or otherwise, regarding
Colorado and the various localities OF
the state, investigate the resources
and possibilities thereof, and stimulate
their proper advertising and eXploita'
ton. The board may, in its discretion
instruct the commissioner personally
or by deputies and employees, to visit
other states, and there distribute ad
vertising matter, call personally upon
intending investors, visitors or immi
grants, install exhibits of Colorado
views and products, give lectures upon
Colorado, and, in general, further the
advertising of Colorado"
An appropriation of 100000 per an
mum is called for.

Denver Consolidation.

Mr.. Helbig of Denver has presented
a bill for constitutional amendment
to provide for the real consolidation of
the city and county OF Denver, which
was not satisfactorily accomplished un-
der the Rush amendment. Under Mr..
Helbig's amendment the county COM
missioners would make up the board
of supervisors and be also the election
commission. The sheriff would be
chief of police, and all other officers
would act for both city and county in
their respective matters of authority.
Mr.. Helbig said his bill was drafted in
accordance with the opinions expressed
at the banquet of the chamber of COM
merce and real estate exchange.
