OFFICE HOLDER NOT AN EXCEP'
TION.

The department of the interior has
handed down a ruling amending the
existing regulation which permits alb
sence of federal, state and county Of
ficials from homestead entries and
provides that such absence shall be
considered as constructive residence
upon claim.
The amendment provides that the
privilege shall extend after April 1,
only to elective officers and that
deputies and assistants can no longer
avail themselves of the provisions Of
the regulations. The order received at
the United States land Office yesterday
is as follows:
Registers and receivers, United
States land offices. Gentlemen: For
many years it has been the practice
of the department to permit a home
stead entryman who had established
residence upon his claim and after
ward had been elected or appointed
to federal, state or county office, to
be absent from his entry If required
by his official duty, and to consider
such absence constructive residence
upon his claim. This ruling includes
deputies and assistants in such offices.
This privilege, which is not a
statutory right but rests solely upon
departmental rulings, has led to such
abuses that the objects of the home
stead law have been to great extent
defeated. Therefore, the department
has decided to discontinue the prac-
tice In so far as 1t has been applied to
persons appointed to office, and limit
IL to persons elected to office. All
decisions and instructions heretofore
given, not in harmony with this view
are hereby overruled or modified In
so far as they accredt such absence
as residence to persons not elected to
! office.
at is not intended, however, to dis,
turb the status of persons who have
acted under the rule heretofore pre-
yailing, nor to deny the benefit of The
rule to persons who, prior to April
1909, shall have been appointed tt
such office. Persons having home
stead entries, who enter upon public
service In non-elective positions Il
} which they were not appointed prio
to the above date, will be required t.
comply with all of the provisions o
the homestead law just as other set
tiers.
Very respectfully,
FIRED BENNETT,
Commissioner.

Never in my thirty years of travelling
throughout the entire United States,
coming in contact with adversity and
sickness as ] have at times, has it been
my pleasure and happiness to meet with
such noble, self-sacrifcing people as
have found in Glenwood Springs, and l
can say in all candor that they are not
confined to any particular class. The
Drs. Berry and Phelps, and
Manager E. A. Berry of the sanitari-

minute they heard of the wreck, 50
anxious were they for the welfare Of
their self enforced guests. Drs. O'Con-
nor, Kurfman and Crook, of the Rio
Grande road, were untiring in their eff

The beautiful flowers which were
sent to each sufferer by the Elks lodge

peoples lives, some other reason might
be suggested, but as it is, these are tn,
only ones worth considering, and it is
understood that Olson and his frienls
Indignantly resent the suggestion that
he read his watch wrong. They say
this would have been almost impossible
to man as well trained as is Olson in
the accurate reading of his timepiece.
Then there is practically only one other
conclusion and that is that Olson simply
overlooked bet,' as some of his as
sociates put it.
AL McCurdy, the passenger conductor,
legally and according to the rules of the
road, is held equally responsible with
Olson, the engineer. There is some nit
igation as to McCurdy from the fact
that when he noticed that Olson was
pulling on unchecked through the west
switch of the Dotsero siding, he reach ID
up and pulled the bell cord.
1t was too late, and almost coinciden.
with this action, the collision occurred.
This was at just 9:47. 1t is said that
the passenger train was running 35 miles
an hour but that the freight train, with
its double header, had slowed down 70
eight miles an hour, preparatory TO
heading into the switch as ordered.
Freight Conductor I. N. Cope asserts
that he had plenty of time to make the
siding. and all admit that had it not
been for the slight speed of the freight
train, the collision would have proven
even more disastrous.
AS it was, the impact was terrific
and the boilerhead of engine 53s was
telescoped into that of 708, until the
piston heads of both engines were brok

Between the time of their arrival and

that of the ill-fated No on the Dem

was the local aggregation of basketball

The visitors played fast and scien-

And then, too, the Leadville boys
were without the assistance of their
potent ally, of the previous contest be-

1t was not until last Saturday morn

The wreck was head on collision be-
tween west bound passenger train No.
5, and eastbound freight train, being
third No. 66, drawn by q, double header,
and the three engines were frightfully
teleseoped and crushed into scrapiron.
1t is now generally conceded that the
whole blame for the wreck is traceable
to blunder on the part of Gus Olson,
engineer on the passenger, but how he
could have made such mistake is in
conceivable to his fellow workmen and
the highest officials of the road, who
declare he has always been considered
one of the safest and most trustworthy
engineers of the system.
No fault attaches to the dispatcher s
office at this place, the order sent to
the freight trainmen being plain, an
reading as follows:
''To third No. 66, Shoshone-No. ),

not check his speed at the Dotsero sid
ing.
The Cause Of tho Wreck
There are two theories in explanation
as to why this order was disobeyed or
ignored. The first is that Engineer
Gus Olson, engineer on the passenger
train, misread his watch at Dotsero,
thinking it was 9:55, whereas it was
only GAS when he passed the siding.
The second is that he completely over
looked or forgot his orders. This see
ond reason, it seems, is the only reason

terrible disaster. Had Olson demon;
strated by past experience that he was
unsteady and unreliable, or that he was

recklessness proven that he was careless
