ANSWER Is FILED
BY LIGHT COMPANY
(From Mondays Daily


Answer was filed by the Hone Gas
and Electric company this morning
to the suit in condemnation which
has been brought by the Burlngton
road to obtain right OF way
through the plant of the light com
pany which Is located at Eleventh
street and the tracks,
According to Joseph c. Ewing. at
torney for the light company, the
case is one OF public utility cor
poration against another utility cor
poration and ii is alleged that the
railroad has no standing over the
light company in this regard.
The railroad yesterday ran its
tracks up to the walls OF the light
plant on both sides and ATTORNEYS for
the railroad and the light company
admit that some sort OF an agree
ment must be reached and reached
hurriedly.
The railroad is asked $4,000 for
the property and has offered sl0.-
900.
The building which is the property
OF the light company is right now
blocking the Burlington in its con-
struction work. The light com pany
states that It will be satisfied either
to be moved or to be paid wha, it
claims Just price for the property.
The light company asserts that
the plant serves the purpose OF an
emergency plant in the event that
an accident happens to the plant at
Lafayette.
The concrete foundation q. the
building is said TO have beer nlaced
az a great cost and IL is this N pa ri
which is making the light company
demand twice the price which the
railroad is offering for the purchase
OF the property
lust what the outcome VIII be
both sides say is doubtful but they
both admit that the case viii prob
ably be settled before 1t comes To
hearing
officials OF both companies are
meeting frequently and II Is thought
that sale price for the property

THE SERIOUSNESS OF MARK
TWAIN

The following is taken from T.
p. g Weekly of London:
Il will no longer disguise the
dreadful fact that ascribe it ex-
actly where Mark Twain would have
ascribed 1t. l ascribe it to the repub-
lican virtues of America. or course.
II Mark Twain had said that in so
many words, everybody in England
would have thought he was making
one OF his best Jokes: whereas, in
truth, he would have been indulginp
in one Of his worst pieces OF serious
ness. Somebody in an advanced
Socialist paper that I saw the other
day said that Mark Twain was a
cynic. I suppose there never was =
person so far removed from cynicisu
as Mark Twain. A cynic must a,
least mean man who is fippan
about serious things; about thing,
that he thinks serious. Mari
Twain was always serious to tn.
verge of madness. He was not ser
ions about st. Francis: he did no
think st. Francis serious. He hon
estly supposed the marvels of st
Francis to be some ecclesiastica
trick OF popes and cardinals. H.
did not happen to know that tn
Franciscan movement was some
thing much more certainly popula
than the Revolution that rem
America from England. He deride
King Arthur's court as somethin
barbaric. He did not happen t,
know that the only reason why tina
dim and highly dubious court ha
made a half-entry into history
that 1t stood, II It ever stood at al
for the remnant Of high civilizatio
against the base advance of barbal
ism. He did not happen to kno'
that, In his time, st. Francis stoo
for the ballot-box. He did not hat
pen to know that, in his time. Kin

THE STATE LAND BOARD

In decidedly profitable contrast to
many proceeding land boards, that
which is handling the reins under

greatly to the funds OF the state by
the judicious disposal of the state
lands.
There Is none of the railroadinp
OF properties which has character
ized many former boards-but the
state property is being 80 disposed
that the treasury of Colorado is be-
Ing given substantial increase. The
board, consisting OF Governor Shat
roth, School superintendent Kath-
crime Cooke. the attorney general
and DR. Jefferson registrar OF the
land board, has handled this end of
the administrative affairs In n decid-
edly commendable manner, and their
work Is doubly creditable when II Is
remembered that the affairs OF the
board are every year growing more
complicated and requiring more time
while during the same period, the
duties Of the various offices of the
respective members are, through the

bated breaths OF expectation, of
proud parents and hopeful youth
And of course there is always the
