LEGISLATIVE
DOM GS
Priority Measure Pasoes.
q O ! N G s

| After prolonged debate the Sen
ate, by vote of twenty-five to thir-
teen, passed on third reading the Car
penter bill with the Parrish amend.
ment. which places reservoir rights on
the rule of priority and repeals that
provision of the act of 1901 prohibit
ing the owners of reservoirs from i'm
pounding any water from the natural
streams when it is required in bitches
for direct irrigation. The amendment
bill will now go to the House for final
enactment or rejection.
Senators Cross, Stephan, Tobin and
Crowley, who have waged vigorous op-
position to the bill and it's amendment,
declare that, if the bill is enacted by
the House, petitions to invoke the ref
erendum will be circulated and filed
with the secretary of state within
ninety days of adjournment of the
Legislature.
Throughout the debate, which virtu-
ally covered the entire domain of ir-
rigation Jurisprudence, the supporters
stress upon the claim that the act of
1901 is unconstitutional in that it SUBJ
ordinates senior reservoir appropria-
tions to junior ditch appropriations:
while the opponents of the measure
waged their fight against it's passage
from the viewpoint that, if enacted.
1t will place the future agricultural de-
velopment of the state under the con-
troll of the reservoir companies, will
greatly assist the government in its
assertion of title to water in this state
for use in reclamation projects in 9TH
er states and that the water from the
natural streams of Colorado can be ap-
propriated for agricultural purposes.
impounded in reservoirs and used for
the generation and sale of power.
The Legislative committee that is
Investigating the charges made against
Judge Greeley w. Whitford by the
State Federation Of Labor spent one
day in reviewing the testimony given
by the sixteen coal miners in the con
tempt proceedings which terminated in
their being sentenced to Jail for term
of one year.
The search and seizure bill intro
duced by Representative Ardourel Of
Boulder and advocated by the Prohibi-
ton people of the state, was defeated
by vote of twenty-nine to twenty-six
in the House. This bill. which gave
the same rights to officers to search for
and seize liquor in dry territory that is
given in seizing gambling devices, was
held up by the temperance committee
until report was demanded by mem
bers of the House.

DIsFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disdgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, We
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

CHARITY AND CHEWING GUM
Disparity That Hardly Seems Credit
able to tho Generous Instincts
Of the Race.

According to a statement before a
meeting of the Women's Foreign Mis-
sionary society Of the Presbytery of
Washington an interesting statement
regarding the money spent for chew
ing gum and that given to charity was
made. The speaker was Miss Mary
W. Kerr of Harrisburg, Pa, in connec-
ton with the topic of "Frenzied FL
nance in Missions" In urging the So
ciety to be more liberal in its contri-
buttons to charitable work, she said:
For every $4,000 contributed to
charity, $4,000 is spent for chewing
gum"
The statement passed almost un
noticed except by few. who saw the
pertinence and logic Of the remark.

USEFUL AND PRETTY scARFs
Most Charming New Effects Arc
Those Made Of Chiffon, Finished
With Rufflo.

There are few girls who do not re-
gard their collections of fine scarfs
as among the most treasured Of their
possession, and there are so many
occasions when these scarfs are useful,
not to mention the mere Joy of pos
session. that girl can always be sure
of pleasing her young friends by gifts
of attractive scarfs, especially II they
are unique or in the very latest
fashion.
Among the most charming new
scarfs which girl who is good
needlewomen may make are those Of
chiffon, finished with a narrow ruffie
of the same, which Is set on with
hemstitching. The scarfs are Of rain
bow chiffon In the loveliest shades.
ranging from white to quite deep
tints. They are long and wide and
are SO picturesque as to prove an ad-
dition to any toilette. One of Amer
lean Beauty tints, shading to the faint
est pink. was especially lovely. The
ruffie which edged the scarf was not
more than five inches wide. While
hemstitching around the edges makes
the scarf more valuable as gift. 1t
does not add to its picturesqueness.
and girl who is an adept at hem
stitching but who can do fine plain
sewing may omit the hemstitching and
still produce highly attractive scarf.
Another style of scarf which Is
much admired at the moment. and
which has genuine beauty that will
keep 1t popular among persons Of
taste for a long time is the beaded
.chiffon scarf with gathered ends.
These scarfs are made of chiffon. but
In the plain colors. and they are
beaded or in the colored crystal beads.
Some Of them have quite heavy de-
signs carried out IN subtle shades Of
color on backgrounds of white or pale
toned chiffons. The ends are gather
ed to a point and finished with tas-
sells of knotted silk and beads. Some
times larger beads are used for these
tassels than those employed on the
scarf while on other scarfs a great
many of the strands of small beads
are gathered together to make the
heavier strands for the tassel.

The Moffat Tunnel.

Senator Cove is in receipt of the
following telegram from John A. Por.
ter of Denver, who is on the Pacific
coast in reference to the tunnel and
its construction:
The passage of pending tunnel bill
in Colorado Legislature is certainly OF
the greatest Importance to Denver and
the entire state. Judging by many sur
veys made by the Moffat road, it would
seem very unwise to limit the length of
proposed tunnel to five miles when
enc approximately mile longer could
be located at the most advantageous
place considered from both an engin.
eering and financial point of view. A
tunnel entering the Divide almost in
a direct line from Tolland would avoid
possible competition from a deeper
one, would materially shorten distance
and avoid climbing on maximum grade
a winding line from Tolland to mouth
not hesitate at additional cost 60 OBJ
tain safer and more far-reaching in
vestment.-John A. Porter"
The opponents of the tunnel have Sc
cured an amendment to the bill that
would defeat the purpose, requiring
the Moffat road interests to deposit Sc
curities with the state to guarantee
the tunnel bonds. And this in addition
to the provisions already in the meas
ure making the voad itself security for
the cost of construction.
With the recommendation that they
be placed before the committee OF the
whole for favorable consideration and
final passage. the bills making the
State Normal school at Greeley 4
teachers college and providing for a
normal school training as a condition
to the granting of certificates by coun.
ty superintendents, were reported by
the Senate committee on education
and educational institutions.
By vote of twenty 10 fourteen. the
Senate ordered the hybrid bank guar
antee law on the calendar for special
consideration. This bill is a mixture
Of Senator Gove's measure for rigid
banking code and of Senator Crowley's
bill to enact the mutual bank guar
antee act of Texas. The measure was
reported favorably by the banking
committee three weeks ago. When the
report was made, 1t was stated that a
motion would be made to strike from the
! hybrid bill all of the Texas bank guar
antee features and to retain the Cove
provisions which seek to make bank
guarantee rest on sound banking op
erations.
