ernor Shafroth sent a letter to the
house, ostensibly to criticise the SEN
ate bank bill, but in reality to pa
rade the assembly before the people
ar being slow, when, in fact, its slow
ness results as much from his mac
tivity MS from any other one thing.
The senate has killed the anti-cam-
paign expense bill and the house has
likewise treated the employers liza
bility bill and the anti-pass bill. Thus
three platform pledges have been re-
deemed--but in a different manner.
1t developed during the discussion
Of the tunnel bill that In the initia-
tive and referendum amendment there
is no section directing the secretary
of state to place bills initiated by the
people on the ballot. Neither is there
any section directing the state board
Of canvassers to count the ballots cast
Oh such bills. The friends of the bill
claim such is rot the case, yet Sen
ator Skinner, one of the most ardent
advocates of the principle of the mi
tiative and referendum, is doing his
| best TO get a bill through directing the
secretary of state to, when an ini-
tiated bill is handed him, put 1t on the
ballot, and also to have the state baord
of canvassers canvass the votes on
all such bills voted upon. If the
claim be true and Senator Skinner
does not get his bill through, the
amendment will be imperative.
| Likewise, Senator O'Conneil claims
that under the amendment the as
sembly can submit an amendment to
the constitution of the state by ma
jority vote, and that statute, when
ratified by the people, becomes part
oil our constitution and not of the
statute. With the initiative and ref
erendum amendment imperative, and
cloud over the primary law, there
remains nothing of the work Of the
last extra session save the law that
paid its members salaries and sx-
penses. "Ali same this one"
The bill creating the court of APP
peals is through the senate. 1t pro-
yides an extra court of five judges, for
period of four years, to assist the
present supreme court in clearing its
| docket. The members must be ap-
pointed by the governor and confirm
ed by the senate, thus the bill must
get through, the judges be appointed
and confirmed, before Saturday mid
night. The court can only consider
cases referred to it by the supreme
court and the character of the cases
il can consider is limited. The mem
bers will receive an annual salary of
$4,000 each.
Already the talk of an extra session
il heard on every hand. II may be
Just bluff, and it may be in earnest
Sure it is, though, that the peopls
of the state do not want it.

REDUCTION PLANT TO Be

The ore will be taken from the Orc

FORMER SAN JUAN PIONEER
VISITS SOUTH AMERICA

Harry Hoyt, n former mining opera
tor in the Animas Forks section, now
IA resident of Kalamazoo, Mich, has
just returned from an extended tour
through South America and gives to
representative of the Kalamazoo
Evening Telegraph the following in
teresting account of his trip:
"They don't know anything about
us in South America. When they
travel they go to Europe and when
they buy anything they buy it from
Europe" That is the interesting, but
rather dubious statement made by
Harry B. Hoyt, who has just returned
from trip to the wonderful CONT
nent in the south.
1--WE had delightful trip" said
Mr. Hoyt, "the most wonderful ! ever
took. South America could take care
OF the whole world, with it's splendid
fruits, grains and cattle ranges. They
have every raw product available, coal
excepted. But they don't know any
thing about us in that country. When
they travel they go to Europe and
when they buy anything they buy it
in Europe.
During the trip we visited Trini-
dad, Para, Bahia, Rio Janeiro, Santos
and Sac Paulo, Montevidio, Buenos
Ayres, Puento Arenas, Santiago and
other points.
'Rio Janeiro is the most beautiful
city ever saw. The location is ideal.
Central avenue lin English) is a
thoroughfare miles long and lined
with palaces. Cars take one 10000
feet up the mountains and one can
look right down into the heart of
the town from these nights. We stop
ped at Santos, the great coffee mar
ket, and went forty miles inland, to
Sac Paulo, remarkable city, with all
the finest modern improvements. The
railroad is both steam and cable and
cost $12,OO0,O00. 1t is said to be the
finest equipped road in the world.
"Buenos Ayres is great city of
100000 inhabitants, with magnificent
hotels, a 100000 opera house and
every modern improvement one could
mention. The prices there are some
thing frightful. Fifteen dollars day
for hotels, $40 for two tickets to the
opera and everything else in proper
tion.
"Puento Arenas on the Straits of
is bright town for that
bleak locality. 1t is the most southern
city in the world. Santiago, Chill, is
another beautiful city. 1t is free from
and has delightful climate
and the most wonderful fruit ever
saw. A bunch of grapes will fill
pail, each grape being as large as IA
plum. We went up 10000 feet going
over the Andes, while the snow capped
peaks lowered still greater distance
above US.
"There is but single line Of steam
ships connecting American ports with
South America, while many lines run
from Europe to that continent. The
latter are all first class liners, much
he same as the Transatlantic ships,
while of the American boats, only two
are comfortable. There is great
market in that south land when we
get ready To go after it."
