STATE METHODISTS
GATHER AT Fl. MORGAN
IN ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Fort Morgan. Colo, Aug. 81
With 400 ministers and laymen, rep
resenting the 275 charges in the
state, Bishop William II. Quayle OF
Oklahoma City last night convened
the 4Sth annual conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church The
gathering will continue throughout
the week, closing next Monday night.
In addition to Bishop Quayle, many
prominent officials in the church are
here. They include Rev Homer c.
Stubs. d. D., of New York city; Rev.

go; Claudius b. Spencer. editor of the
Central Christian Advocate; Chan
Celior Henry A. Buchtel of Denver;
Rev c. B. Wilcox of Trinity NJ. T..
Church, Denver, and Rev. r. c. Ilin
OF Denver.
The principal features Of the con
ference will be the redistricting OF
the churches of the state and the ap-
pointment by the bishops of three
district superintendents TO Oil yacan-
cies occurring during this year; the
conference between Bishop Quayle
and lay Representatives and the APP
pointment of the pastors for the
churches of Colorado
The redistricting Of the churches
contempIates a change in nomencla-
ture Of the districts. At present they
are known as Denver. Greeley, Den
er-Northwestern, Pueblo and Rio
Grande. It is probable that these
will be changed to Greeley. Denver.
Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Grand
Junction
The appointment Of district super
intendents is likely to occasion no
little excitement in the conference.
Those mentioned among the pastors
as having the most likely chance OF
appointment are Rev Frost Craft Of
the Capitol Hin Church. Denver; Rev.
S. b. Warner Of Christ Church, Den
yer, and Rev. d. D. Forsyth Of Grand

ference will be held every morning

Train No. on the Rio Grande.
which carried the fish promised by
State Game and Fish Warden Hol-
land. was met today by two enthusi-
astic fshermen-John c. Mckinney.
deputy county treasurer. and Charles
G. VanHoorebeke.
The bass which had been promised
by Mr. Holland were in charge of an
employe of the state hatchery r. NJ.
Light, and he was taken in charge
by the two local gentlemen; and.
with an express wagon carrying the
fish, they drove TO the Gunnison river.
where. the greater part of the fish
were turned into the stream.
Mr.. Light says that Game Warden
Holland had to work pretty hard to
secure the number of fish that were
appropriated for us over here. They
were secured down near Wray, Colo.
and are very fine specimens of the
bass family.
Both Mr.. Mckinney and Mr.. Van
Hoorebeke. the we'll known realty
dealer, are enthusiastic fishermen.
and they did all in their power TO
get the best place to turn the fish
from the cans into the river.
The plymouth black bass (as they
are KNOWN grow very rapidly, and
in few years we ought to have some
good bass fishing. A bass will give
as much fun to an angler as an ordi-
nary trout, If not more. They grow
to large size, and they are extremely
gamey. No finer flesh grows on fish
than that which comes with the black
bass. There is only one large bone
/ the backbone-and the rest is fine
firm meat
All true lovers of game fish will
thank Mr.. Holland for securing these
bass for stocking the Grand and Gun
nison rivers

FAITHFUL AND

There was real live competition

was doing his level best and was ably
assisted by the brass band, much to
the diseomforture of the spieler

"1ind of a scope which sells in the
Jewelry stores for s4 and IS" 60 the

ious sentiments.
Then when the exhorter was max
ing his strongest appeals to his audi
ence the faker got out his cowbell
and other contraptions and proceeded
forthwith to demoralize the doctrinal
eypounder.
Judging from the. cash receipts it
was nearly an even break between the

WINDJAMMEROF SENATE

Denver. Aug. 31.-Senator Horace
T. DeLong of Mesa county has won
the title of chief filibusterer on the
republican side. He talked till noon
today against the initiative and ref
erendum, when a recess was taken.
He resumed this afternoon. and
talked all day. subject, however, to
frequent interruptions and questions
Senator DeLong introduced a reso-
luton declaring the democratic eau
Gus on the platform measures to be
unconstitutional, because il was an
agreement contrary to the organic
law of the state. The resolution
called upon the supreme court to pass
upon the validity of such measures
that might be passed at this session
as result of that caucus.
Senator Twining declared that the
measure providing for an initiative
and referendum was based upon the
Oregon law, and that the only objec-
tion DeLong had TO it was that there
was no sermon in the pramble.
An embarrassing interrogation was
put to Senator DeLong by Senator To-
bin, when tie latte- inquired why
DeLong criticised the junior senator
from Colorado for his alleged cor
poration affiliations, while at the
same time he was praising the senior
senator from this state. whose cor
poration attachments were notorious.
Senator DeLong did not directly
answer the query, but answered by
declaring that he had not come to
the legislature pledged for any of the
measures, and would do as he pleased
as to supporting or objecting to them.
The cross-fire became quite warm
at times. and created much amuse-
ment. despite the fact that the mem
bers were tired cut with talk.

There is a stir and hustle and the
noise of tearing paper, the ripping

local organization has been enjoying
a much needed rest on the eastern
slope for about two weeks but is at
his desk today full of energy and
optimism.
The first thing of Importance which
he took up was that of selecting dele
gates~to the National Irrigation Con-
gress at Pueblo. This is quite i'm
portant judging from various reports
which have been current of late as to
certain propositions which other in
terests may try to get through.
For instance it is reported that an
attempt will be made to discredit the
government reclamation service to
the advantage of private enterprise
The local delegates will be chosen,
probably from those who are known
to stand for government construction.
There is no intention to diseredit
private enterprises, but merely to let
the convention know in no uncertain
terms that we want them to keep
their hands off our projects over here

its purpose of carrying on the work
