PEOPLE REJECTED
CHANCE. TO VOTE
Candidate Who Spent Sixty
Cents for Gasolene Lost on
Prohibition Plank.

Mournfully and yet frankly. and not
without humor. recent candidate for
a seat in the General Assembly con-
fesses his sins of unsophistication in
politics In a letter received yesterday
by Secretary of the Commonwealth B.

withheld.
The disappointed seeker after lesis.
lativc honors sends in his expense ac-
count, which shows that he expended
grand total of $3.50. OF this sum,
SIS was his entrance fee. paid to get
into the primary. The 90 cents, no
says. went for gasolene. This is tina
strangest item ever given in as an
election expense by a candidate fox
office In Virginia. IL the candidate
tried to set tho voters on fire by tho
use OF the nflammable stuff, no most
evidently failed.

OF such an act again, he thinks no
might be privileged to comment to
some extent on his race. This he pro-
cecds to do for tho space of two type
written pages.
1t seems that the gravamen of this
mans offense was that he favored ths
proposed law granting to tho people
the right to vote on tho question OF
Statewide prohibition. ungrateful
Tor the privilege which he would give
them, said people arose and swatted
him hip and thigh. A cursory In
spection of the primary returns havo
made this individual doubt whether
or not he was in the race
Whimscally the writer dwclls upon
the fact that he misjudged the spirit
or tho people, and calls attention to,
THIS as proof positive of his unso-,
phistication. He tried his hest to give
the people of his Legislative district
the right OF extension of the thrice
blessed privilege of suffrage, and they
rejected 1t. II. Is to mourn.

STATE MAY BUY

Recently there has been a revival
OF discussion of the proposition that
the State of Virginia acquire tho Ford
Hotel property. for the purpose of Sc
curing site for the erection OF addi-
tional office buildings for use by State

bought by the city of Richmond for
the sum OF Sls6,000, although an APP

Department of Agriculture. made tho
suggestion year ago that the hotel
site DO purchased ny the State for
the erection of an agricultural build

floor of such structure be devoted
to agricultural exhibits of all kinds.
and that the upper floors be used
for tho various activities OF the De-
partment of Agriculture. This would

scattered UP the mountain side.
Circumstantini Evidence.
Howell left his home with the avow-
ed intention OF going after whiskey.

licit distiilcrles. and 1t is stated tina I
he was himself a former moonshiner.

SCHOOL FUNDS
NOT, FOR BONDS

Discussing the Investment Of the
permanent school fund In bonds OF
irrigation districts of the state. slA
of the leading bankers of Denver
Yesterday advised the state land
board that in their opinion only
bonds of completed and proved irri-
CATION districts with growing crops
on them should, or could, safely be
a good investment.
Thomas Keely, vice president of
the First National bank. took the
view that no irrigation district
bonds, whether completed and
success or not, were a safe and con-
servative investment for the school
funds. Keely said further that if
the depositors of a bank desired to
invest in bonds of any irrigation
district that was the business of the
depositor, but that he, as a banker,
could not nor would he ever CON
slider irrigation district bonds con-
servative investment for the funds
entrusted to a banking institution.
Under the law, the members of
the state land board may enter into
a contract with the promoters of
any irrigation district of the state
to buy not exceeding 10 per cent of
their bonds when q certain project
is completed. There has been some
little agitation of the matter and
many parties interested have sug-
gested to the land board that it
would be a great help to the irriga-
tion interests of the state IL some of
the state school funds were in
vested in this manner.
President Edward Keating of the
land board asserts that IL the board
should lend its aid to an irrigation
project in the form of contract to
purchase bonds on completion, the
promoters can then take the bonds
to eastern capitalists and secure
money much more easily than with
out the contract with the state to
show.
For this reason the land board
called in the bankers. Those who
attended the meeting yesterday and
argued against investment in any
but proven and completed projects
were Earl Wilcox, who represented
Charles B. Kountze, president OF
the Colorado National bank; Cord
on Jones. president of the United
States National bank; ii. ]. Alex
ander. vice president of the Capitol
National bank; ]. C. Mitchell, cash
ier of the Denver National bank;
Godfrel Schirmer. president of the
German American Trust company,
and F.. N. Briggs. president of the
Interstate Savings bank.
All of the bankers present dis
cused the subject. The land board
took no action.

Who OWNS
PACKAGE
IN MAIL?
JONAH BOTTLE OF COD LIVER
OIL BEING HELD
HAS BEEN WAITING A YEAR
Fair Senorita Patiently Waiting for
Bottle Mailed at Greeley
Was Let Alone By the
Robbers

Wanted-Owner of bottle of cod
liver oil, LETT at the Greeley post
office for mailing one year ago, to
call for same. Postmaster Gray.
Mr.. Gray is in quandry. About
a year ago Mexican brought a
package, said to contain merchan-
disc, to the Greeley post office to be
sent by registered mail to a party
in Old Mexico. 1t was weighed and
the owner affixed the proper
amount of stamps to it for regis
try purposes, took his receipt and
left. When it came time to dis
patch the package, one of the clerks
decided to examine it, as he is al
lowed to do under the postal regu-
latious, and then the fact was ascer-
tanned that it contained a bottle of
cod liver oil. This, being liquid
and in glass, is unmailable An
effort was then made TO find the
man who sent the package. His
name was on the outside all right,
but the man himself seemingly had
vanished into thin air.
The cod liver oil, for want of
which some fair senorita is prob
ably languishing down in the land
of Manana, remains in the post
office safe, veritable white ele-
plant. 1t cannot be sent to the
dead letter office, because it is un-
mailable. 1t must not be destroy
ed, being registered package, it
| is presumed to be valuable. When
burglars recently touched Uncle
Sans strong box at Greeley they
got hold of this, among other reg
istered packages, tore the wrapper
off, and-left it to poster the post,
office clerks.
Mr.. Gray will give suitbale re-
ward for some one who will show
proper authority to take it away
or an equal reward for solution
of the puzzle that confronts him il
the bottle of oil without an owner
