Miss Lindley, the popular teacher

on the sick list today
The Sentinel job department is in-
debted TO l.. Schmidt and Sons for a
small job planer. a very handy tool
in any printing office. The planer is
to simply show the character of wood
used by the Gage Tool Co, of Vine
land. New Jersey. in the manufac-
ture of their self-setting planes. The
wood is saturated with hot linseed
oil and is as fine a piece of woodwork
as one is given an opportunity to see.
The claim of the manufacturers is
that any inexperienced man or child
can use these planers the same as
a stillful carpenter. If the wood
which enters into the manufacture of
these planes is any indication of the
excellence of the manufactured tool.
they should certainly enter into the
economy of every man having to use
the carpenters planer.

Denver. Feb. 16.-Senator Horace
T. DeLong has won out in his de-
termination to have Clifford Pinchot.
chief of forestry service to address
the Joint session of the two houses of
the Colorado legislature in order that
Mr.. Pinchot might explain certain ac-
tions of his and reply to charges pre-
ferred against him. The Mesa coun-
ty senator wins out after being de-
feated in the matter the first time he
tried to get his joint resolution
through and now the house declines
to give him credit for the inviting of
Chief Pinchot but as he started the
movement and got the resolution
through the senate he deserves the
credit.
1t will be remembered that Senator
DeLong introduced the resolution in
the senate about two weeks ago. 1t
was tabled for the time being after
heated discussion but few days
later was taken up and passed by
the senate.
The resolution was then introduced
in the house by Representative Weis-
er of Mesa county, but was tabled by
an overwhelming vote.
Since then the matter has been
pretty widely discussed in the papers
and among the Legislators themselves.
1t was apparent that many legisla-
tors, irrespective of party lines, be-
lieved that the invitation should be
extended. AS announced in The Sen
tinel dispatches yesterday Speaker
Lubers yesterday announced that he
would today introduce "A resolution

lature. This morning the resolution

ton embodies the same provisions
except that the new resolution eN-
tends the invitation to Elias NJ. Ham
mond 1t is said that Gov. Shafroth
himself urged that the house pass
the resolution and his desire had
much weight. The governor believed
that Pinchot should be allowed to
make any explanation or defense that
he sees fit to make, that he was en-
titled to fair showing.
The Invitation, first suggested by
the Mesa county senator. will be eX-
tended to Chief Pinchot at once and
he will probably come at an early
date.
In the senate this morning a ses-
sion in the committee of the whole
was held and the Scott primary bill
was discussed. \ motion was made
striking out section which provides
that a candidate merely has to an
nounce himself to get on a ticket.
This motion is giving ground for
much of the discussion today. The
morning and afternoon sessions of the
senate are being devoted to the pri-
mary election law.
II is announced that this evening a
public meeting will be held in the
nall of representatives for the pur-
pose of discussing Senator Carey's 5

Sir.-When The Sentinel made the
statement that you did not favor
street paving. it believed it was stat
ing the truth. While you did not
refuse to sign the petition, because
same was not presented to you. still
you did attempt to influence others
against signing same.
What other conclusion could have
been arrived at than that you We're
antagonistic to street paving?
Late yesterday afternoon you
signed the petition for street paving.
when you found that there was an
almost universal sentiment favorable
to the proposition. This was an easy
matter for you to do. when it is pro-
vided in the rental leases to your
buildings that a sufficient increase
should be made in the rentals to al
most cover the assessments for paw
ing should the city decide to have
paving done In this case, the les
sors of your buildings pay for the i'm
provement. The Sentinel questions
greatly whether you would have
signed the petition had you not thus
provided for the tax against your
property.
The Sentinel is very happy. indeed,

cause that constrained you to sign
the petition, you have done SO.
