The state legislature, both sen ale
and house, is going slow this week
and as the mails are still slower,
there is not as much as usual TO re-
port.
Among the new laws proposed is
one TO tax fishermen a license fee of
81. That might be all right for
outside fishermen, but hardly fair in
Gunnison, where everybody, ladies'
and children included goes fishing
occasionally. Another proposition
to change the season from june to,
May 10 meets with general favor
A bill proposing to raise the
bounty on predatory animals was
also approved by the Legislature
committee This measure fixes the
sum of SO for pelts of Coyotes, lynx
bobcats and wildcats. while wolves
and mountain lions shall bring so.
The pelts including head and feet
shall be surrendered to the game
commissioner and he shall dispose
OF them. the money thus received
going into the bounty fund.
The new congressional appor-
tionment bill, eliminating the con
gresham -at-large and making the
Western slope district by itself,
has good features. However, it
would leave our friend John 4
Martin of Pueblo out in the cold. as
with 5000 democratic majority from
the Western Slope he could barely
overcome the down east republican
corntles, and deprivlng him of his
vote would spell certain defeat.
As long as the next census will be
made before the Legislature meets
again in 1911, why not put off the
re-apportionment until then Perl

GIGANTIC sATHTus FOR TAFT

New York.-William II. Taft will have
the use OF the largest bathtub made
fo- an individual during his forth.
coming voyage on the battleship North
Carolina from Charleston to Colon and
back again.
It is TO be fitted specially for Mr..
Taft's comfort, and If she should take
fancy to its pond-like dimensions,
there is no reason why 1t should not
be transferred from the North Caro-
lima to the White House with other
personal baggage of Mr.. Taft's on
March 4.
In his trip around the world and on
other cruises, Mr.. Taft became thor
oughly conversant with the size OF or

up.
After few hours we got the ship in
the right place, about quarter of a
mile south of the den, and Pa got the
cowboy ready with his lasso, and the
German ready to yell murder in his
language, and the negro ready to
throw overheard for the lions to eat,
and Pa said, Turn her loose" and we
let go of the rope, and the ship sailed
right straight for the den, and we all

lion family having come out Of the den
to see the airship, and the dog lion,
the head of the household. waving
his tail and making the air fairly
tremble with his roaring.
Pretty soon the airship was right
over the den, the lasso was thrown
over the dog lions neck, and drawn
tight, and he coughed and strangled
like negro being lynched, and then
he turned tail and ran down into the
den in the rocks, with all the other

BAR TO AERoPLANE FLEET.
British Physicist Says Talk Of Use of
Flying Machines Is Unfounded.

London.--Lord Rayleigh made some
Interesting remarks with reference to
aeroplanes and flying machines at the
Royal society.
This great physicist admits that in
the technical sense the problem Of fly
ing through the air has been solved,
but he evidently does not think that
the invention will be Of much prac-
tical use. He does not share the en-
thusiasm OF the German emperor In
anticipating that fleets of aeroplanes
will soon be flying through the air.
There is a large gulf to bridge, ac-
cording to Lord Rayleigh, before flying
machines can be made available for
purposes of real utility. He does not
entertain the idea that communica-
tions between different countries will
be carried on by air-going ships. He
thinks that they may be used for pur-
poses OF reconnoitering and exploring,
but, in the latter case. no exploration
on large scale could be carried out,
owing to the difficulty of carrying pro-
visions.
An aeroplane of enormous size is
only able to carry two or three men,
and would be. therefore. unable to
take a large quantity Of provisions for
feeding them.

he was going to ride over the opening

She was up In the air about fifty
feet. and Pa pointed out the place
where the lions den was to the south
about a mile, and told us to drag the
airship tail FIRST across the veldt, to

CHILD GETS KINGS LEGACY

His sister, the wife of a London cab
man named Cassin, took the child into
her own family, for which it was diff
cult enough to provide. The cabman's
wife had heard something OF Charles
legacy as sort of family myth, but
had never regarded 1t as serious.
Pressed by hard times, on seeing a
reference to the Penderel legacy in a
newspaper she began to make inquir-
les. Eventually she found her niece
was entitled to pound week for
life, while an accumulation of 9200
was awaiting her. The trustees of
the legacy were made her niece's
guardians and they handed over the
f200 to her.
