Denver's Population.

Denver.-The census figures on
Denver's population were received
from Washington Thursday and give
satisfaction generally. In round mum.
bers, $4,000 people, the population of a
city four-fifths as big as Albany, have
made their homes in Denver since the
year 1900. The federal census emu.
merators, working for two weeks in
Denver, counted 213,SS1 people. Ten
years ago the government census
gave Denver a population of only 1885,
859. There is an increase of 1882
practically 60 per cent. 1t is believed
by many that adjoining suburbs would
make the total nearly 250,000.

KANSAS REPS. WILL FAVOR INIT

TAFT CONGRATULATED
THE PAYNE-ALDRIcH BILL FAILS
TO FULFILL PLATFORM
PLEDGES.

Topeka-If the progressives control
the Republican party council which
meets here Tuesday, as appears prob
able. it is likely that Gov. Stubbs will
be made temporary chairman, Sem
ator Bristow permanent chairman, and
Victor Murdock chairman of the COM
mittee on resolutions.
The only thing the party council
may do under the law is to adopt a
party platform, and it Is certain that
if the progressives control they will
write an uncompromisingly progress
i've programme.
The leaders say they will not seek
to embarrass the standpatters in con-
ference by any reference to them;
but that Governor Stubbs will be in
dorsed, that Congressman Madison
and Murdock will be indorsed for
carrying out the platform pledges
of two years ago in fighting to
amend the rules of the lower house
of Congress and that there will be no
reference to the Payne-Aldrich bill ex-
cept to declare that it cannot fulfill
the pledges Of the national platform.
President Taft will be congratu-
lated for the successful termination
of the contest for postal savings
banks. campaign publicity and a pro-
gressive railroad law
Insurgent leaders have indorsed,
strongly and publicly, the initiative
and referendum and the recall. They
also have indorsed the Oregon plan
of electing United States senators by
a direct vote. There is no doubt
these three planks will go in.
On the stump Governor Stubbs dis
cussed his personal platform, and one
of the things he recommended was
penitentiary offense for offenders
who are convicted of breaking the
prohibitory law the second time. 1t
Is likely he will insist on such
plank in the platform.
Congressman Murdock is known to
favor plank pledging the Kansas
delegation to joint resolution max
ing it possible to revise the tariff one
schedule at time. 1t appears GER
tain that such plank will be incor-
poratet~if the insurgents control.

A Human Torch.

John Pringle, a iineman employed
by the Northern Colorado Power Com
pany, had narrow escape from burn
ing to death on top of pole at For.
Collins Friday. While making a con-
nection, the wires became short-cir-
cuited and the oil in the transformer,
which is on the pole, began to burn.
Pringle was fast to the pole by his
body belt and his clothing caught fire.
With the flames crawling up about
him, he stood helpless on the little
platform, writhing in pain, while his
body, between the waist and the
knees, was burning. Fellow workmen
rescued him and it is believed he will
recover.
