A WILEY WITTICISM

The night that famous men debated
at the National Press club, in Washing
ton, on whether whiskers or badness
formed the greater handicap to grea:
careers, the speeches were limited to
ten minutes each, and DR.. Harvey W.
Wiley, the pure food expert, was time
keeper.
"Only one minute MORE" he called
out to Representative Nicholas Long
worth, who was arguing that ball!
head is fine thing to carry through
the world.
"Does that minute include these un
solicited Interruptions" asked Long
worth.
"You bet it does," replied Wiley
$50 far, the Interruptions have beer
the best part Of the speeches. "-Popu

ing briefs and the case will be argued
about the first af December. Inciden-
tally, it must not be forgotten that
this entire mixup results from the fac
tional fight which existed in Democracy
during the last legislotive session.
Governor Shafroth made an explisit
announcement Wednesday of this week
that he was not candidate for the
short term of the United States senate
and that he would not have it. He
declined to say whether or not he was
candidate for the long term. Incl
dentally, there is rumor that Cover
nor Shafroth and former Governor
Thomas have formed an alliance to Sc
cure the two senatorial positions. Gov.
Thomas agreed to accept the short term.
Harry Bryant is to be manager for
Governor Thomas and William H. Ma
lone is to be the manager for Governor
Shafroth. The plan Of the combina
tion is to secure control of Denver
through the commission form of CAV
ernment which Bryant and Malone are
trying to force upon the residents of
that city and to secure control of the
Direct Legislation League in order to
get its support for these two candidates
There is every indication around the
.pitol city at this time that the ru-

Elmer Huff and His Father, David Huff,
Drop Dead From Heart Disease
Without a Moments Warning
were CARBoNDALE PIONEERS

Last Monday was a day of fatalities
for Carbondale such as communities but
rarely experience. Elmer Huff who had
been complaining for several days, at
ter taking some medicine which his
wife had brought him, dropped back
on the couch and was dead before his
startled companion could realize what
had happened. The young mans faith
er, Dave Huff, was living with his
brother, George Huff, near the Big 4
ranch. A messenger was at once sent
for him and in making the trip he ad-
monished the driver to drive slower,
saying the fast driving made him sick.
On arriving at the home of his son
he entered the house and after gazing
in agnuish on the cold form Of his only
child turned away saying, "That s tne
way nearly all the Huffs have gone and
l suppose l II be the next one,' stepped
into another room and without further
warning dropped dead.
The sudden death in the same room
and within a few hours, of father and
son, cast a deep gloom over the little
community.
The Huffs settled in the Carbondale
neighborhood over 20 years ago and
Elmer, who was 33 years of age, had
attended the village school. The senior

Will Force Property Owners to Dig
Up Fifty Per Cent More Than Other
Boards Required
CITY LAWS TO Be "coD|F|ED"

The monthly meeting of the town
council held last Monday evening was
little more interesting than some 9th
ers, even if there was not much bust
ness really accomplished.
Ole Thorson, on behalf of the East
ern Star, appeared with a petition ask
ing that bills for carriage hire during
the recent session of the state chapter
be paid by the council The carriages
were used in taking the visitors to the
fish hatchery and other points of at
traction. The bill was for $67 and
under the head of bills it was allowed
by the council.
G. Fl. Wyman, the next petitioner,
was not so fortunate as Thorson. Wy
man said that during the month of
December he wanted to reduce mis-
large stock of jewelry and silverware,
the estate of the late II. W. Wyman,
and said he had planned an auction for
l6 days in December as he had been
ordered by the county court to put
these goods on the market and use the
proceeds of the sale to cancel some CT
the Indebtedness of the estate. He
said he understood the board had made
it rule not to license for shorter
term than three months and he asked
for an auctioneer' license for that
length of time and rendered his check
for $75 in payment therefor. Barnes
Immediately protested against it and
Cross was quite as positive in favoring
the petition. "A vote being taken
Barnes, McKissack and Smith voted
"no" and Cross and Howard voted
"aye.' Mr.. Wyman said he would
keep his $75, but he thought he would
carry out the courts order regardless
of the opinions or action of the town
board.
w. S. Parkison, manager of the Ode
on theater, appeared before the board
in response to a notice the board had
served on him concerning fire escapes,
and showed that in the ar
rangement of the Odeon the owner had
absolutely complied with the state law.

Huff had owned the ranch which now
belongs to f. E. Edgerton and here
the family made their home.
Upon selling this ranch the Huffs
moved to Oregon and later to Califor-

an automobile.

Accidental Shooting
On Monday afternoon when Clarence
Bruce was riding for cattle in the hills
near Redstone his horse stumbled and
his gun fell from his pocket and land
ing on rock was discharged, the ball
passing entirely through the body very
close to the heart.
The young man made his way to the
home of William Bait and DR.. Tubbs
of Carbondale was summoned. Later
DR.. Stewart of this city was sent for
and both physicians remained with the
young man all that night.
Bruce is having the best of care and
although he is very badly injured it IS
said he has almost an even chance
between life and death.

COLORADO GETS MONEY FROM
GOVERNMENT LAND SALES

Denver, Nov. 7.-Governor ShafrotL
received notice yesterday from the in
terror department that $l6,465.94 would
be forwarded to the state treasurer as

cent of the proceeds of such sales. This
money goes to the internal improvement

The last legislature passed law
providing that the internal improve

of the measure is being attacked in

Last Saturday while Mrs. Dearing
was driving in from Cardiff she noticed,
just south of the south limits of Glen
wood, lively motion in the almost
dry ditch by the roadside. Alighting
from the buggy she discovered that
the object that had attracted her at
tention was a mountain trout about ten
inches long, which doubtless had fol.
lowed the irrigating ditch from its
mouth about ten miles up the Roaring
Fork. Here is another argument in
favor of the screening of headgates.
