The cause of itching, burning skin

is a germ which feeds upon the weaker

bacilli which produce the itching sores
and ugly red blotches. use a simple pre-

RECORD OF the Seventeenth
COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Question Of Reference.

| In the Senate on Thursday, the 11th
inst, Senator Burger signified his in
tention to move for the recall from
the judiciary committee OF all bills
that concern elections. The senator
has always insisted that such bills
] should be referred to the judiciary
committee, but the Senate yesterday
refused to recall from the committee
on privileges and elections an election
bill that should have been referred to
the judiciary committee. according to
the practice of the body. and 1t was
after such refusal that Senator Burger
gave his notice. The effect Of the
adoption of his motion, II he should
persist in his intention. would be to de-
lay indefinitely consideration Of many
Of the most important bills introduced.
The controversy started when the
committee on privileges and elections
made favorable report on Senate bill
No. 202, by Senator Napier. providing
for an educational test for voters.
Senator Burger ct once made the
point that no bill should be referred
to the committee on privileges and
elections. holding that committee was
solely for the purpose of hearing cleo
tiOn contests. He moved that the re-
port be not received and that the bill
be recalled from the committee. This
motion was defeated, the vote being a
tie and the lieutenant governor voting
in the negative.
After more than an hour of discus
sion the bill was referred to the judi
ciary committee, whereupon Senator
Burger gave notice of his revolution
AIRY motion.
Senator Crowleys bank guaranty
bill vas reported.
Favorable committee reports were
also made on Cary's bill for new fish

Senator Barela's joint memorial to

mortal concerning the admission Of

luton declaring 1t to be the sense of

PROPOSED new
NATIONAL PARK
IN THE WHITE RIVER NATIONAL
FOREST OF NORTHWESTERN
COLORADO.
TO RIVAL YELLOWSTONE
DENVER MAN GOES TO WASHING
TON TO URGE THE PLAN
BEFORE CONGRESS-.

Denver-The Republican, Sunday
morning. says: "A movement is on
foot to convert the White river ma
tional forest in Northwestern Colorado
into a national park, that will stand
next to Yellowstone park and Yo-
semitic park in natural wondrous
beauty. A bill will be introduced in
. Congress within the next few months
for that purpose.
"The promoter of the new national
park is Edwin A. Brown, a Denver
man of independent wealth, who is
well known through his efforts to have
a municipal lodging house established
in Denver. Mr.. Brown left for Wash
ington yesterday where he will inter-
view President Roosevelt, National
Forester Clifford Pinchot, Senator Gug-
genheim, Senator Hughes and Con-
gressmen Taylor, Rucker and Martin
regarding the project. Mr.. Brown is
a relative of w. c. Brown, president
of the New York Central railway, from
whom he bears letters to many promi-
nent men in Washington.
.'Coloradoans who have visited the
White River national forest unite in
saying that it is probably the most
picturesque place for natural beauty
and grandeur in picturesque and grand
Colorado. Filled with towering peaks.
spruce-clad mountain slopes, sprinkled
with more than score of mirror-like
mountain lakes. some of them 100
acres in extent, dazzling, plunging,
lace-like waterfalls. many rs or 80
feet in height, babbling. torrentous
mountain streams, laughing and
splashing on their way, and hundreds
of natural springs. make it place for
rest and delight, an ideal camping spot
for nature lovers, and one of the few
natural game parks in the country.
by building roadways in there such
as have been constructed in Yellow
stone and Yosemite parks, it would
make another playground for the ma
ton. 1t is easy of access to the public
now, the Denver G Rio Grande rail-
way running to Glenwood Springs.
within twelve miles of the forest, and
OH the other side of the forest the re-
Gently constructed Moffat road goes to
Steamboat Springs. If it is made a
national park it is probable that both
Of these roads would build branch
lines to the very borders of the park"

Northwestern Reaching Out.

Denver-The Republican Monday

and 1,O0O-ton smelter at Grand En-

the Union Pacific at Saratoga, Wyo.,
to a coterie of Chicago capitalists. is
an indication that the first step has
been taken in the project by which the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad will
reach the bituminous and anthracite
coal fields of Colorado, first announced
in The Republican one month ago.
That the Northwestern is behind the
deal is not doubted by Routt county
people now in Denver. nor by F. O.
Willmarth of Casper, who is now stop
ping at the Albany hotel. The build
ing of one more short link. some forty
miles in length, will place the North
western, which is a Vanderbilt system,
and one of the largest railroad corpo-
rations in the United States, at the
door of the mammoth Routt county
fields of both bituminous and anthra-
cite. The Northwestern now has to
haul its coal from the Illinois fields,
1000 miles up grade. whereas coal Of
much superior quality can be made
available at comparatively small ex-
pense. '-''e news that Northwestern
surveyors have been making exhaust
i've examinations of the route to be
traversed by the short remaining link
was brought to Denver by Routt coun-
ty people a month ago.

BAR
EFFECTIVELY
REMOVED
LOWER HOUSE PASSES MEASURE
ENABLING KNOX TO BECOME
CABINET OFFICER.

Washington, Feb. 15.-By vote of
l73 to III the house today passed the
bill removing the bar to Senator
Knoxs eligibility for the office Of sec
retary of state. This was the second
vote Of the day on this measure, and
the two We're separated only by about
two hours time. The first vote was
taken on the bill under general order
for the suspension of the rules, and
under that order, according to the
standing rules of the house, bill
must receive a two-thirds majority to
insure it's passage.
The first vote failed considerably to
get the two-thirds required. Imme-
diately after the result was an
nounced the house committee on rules
met. This resulted in Mr. Dalzell's
bringing in a rule making it in order
for the house to take up the bill and
act upon 1t under conditions that
would require only a majority vote to
pass it.
The opponents. of the measure did
not cease their antagonism which on
the previous occasion had brought out
number of sharp criticisms, but de-
manded roll call on the previous
question on the adoption of the rule
Mr.. Olmstead (Penn.) contended that
the bill does not accomplish an eva
sion of the constitution. Arnong sew
eral other precedents Mr. Omstead
cited the case of Senator Morrill, of
Vermont, who was appointed secre-
tary of the treasury.
In the opinion OF Mr.. Williams
(Mass.), who opposed the bill, that
was the only reputable authority al
luded to. Senator Morrill,, he said,
had been confirmed through senatorial
courtesy, which, he said, "overrides
