May Change to Electricity.

Denver.-Thc News says: James J.
Hill, pioneer in many railroad devel-
opments, probably will be the first to
employ electricity for motive power
in the mountains, by the change from
steam engines to electricity on the
famous Georgetown loop OF the Colo
RADIO e. Southern in the near future.
A contract for the electric power
has been practically closed with the
Colorado Central Power company.
This contract has been in course of
negotiation for months, and is the first
of the kind in the state, marking the
initial step in converting steam rail
road to an electric line.
With the Georgetown loop con-
verted to electricity, it is said that
Hill will go ahead with plans to con-
vert other lines of the Colorado &
Southern, which he recently acquired.
The loop trip. as it is called. is one
of the most popular of one-day excur-
sions out Of Denver. 1t is also one of
the most difficult for the railroads, be-
cause Of sharp curves and stiff grades.
The line is narrow gauge, and in the
summer many specials are run over it.
With narrow gauge electric service
frequent cars can be run.

forth in England in an opinion by a
county Judge. He holds that where
the mistress OF a house goes TO the
kitchen to aid the maid of all work
the two are brought on terms Of equal
ity such as would not be tolerated in
larger establishments. The case was
that OF a cook and general maid who
sought to recover months wages
from her former mistress in lieu of
notice. The mistress asserted that the
servant always answered her back"
but the Judge held that under the cir

Uniforms for Capitol Employees.

Denver-Hereafter all employees at
the State Capitol will be uniformed,
the board of capitol managers having
reached the opinion that because of
Denver's growing importance as a
convention and tourist city and the
fact that the Capitol is one of the
famous ones of the country, employees
should always present as neat an ap-
pearance as the city itself. Janitors
will be clothed entirely in white, the
guards will be In blue and the men
working on the famous Capitol lawn,
pronounced by landscape engineers to
be the finest in America. will wear
white overalls and blue jumpers.
