James L. Riland, editor of the White
River Review, arrived in Glenwood
yesterday from Denver where ne was
operated on some weeks ago for ap-
pendicitis. When jim was forced to
quit the nerve racking newspaper
grind and go to Denver he didn t
know just what was the matter with
him, but he knew it was bad enough.
When DR.. Hopkins diagnosed the case
jim made an appropriation for Gin
ternal improvement" and told Hop
kins to proceed according to Bob
Speer's civic center plan or any other
system that would give him relief. The
result is that Jim studied the wall pa
per designs in room in St. Anthony IS
hospital for eight weeks. Now he
carries his verniform appendix in a
little glass jar, hid away in his coat
pocket, but he says he feels better
than for many months. He will make
a short visit in Glenwood and try to
accumulate little more strength be-
fore again taking his pen in hand.

to south running from east to west
ries of the three counties last named.
In connection Herewith the Pitkil
county commissioners, at the recent
meeting of the board, instructed Coun-
ty Clerk James w Hetherly to write
the state engineer regarding the mat
ter. The following letter from State
Engineer Comstock is a reply to the
inquiry:
Denver, Colo, Aug. IL, 1911.
Mr.. James w. Hetherly,
County Clerk, Pitkin County,
Aspen, Colorado
Dear Sir-I am in receipt of yours
OF the sth inst, in which you ask about
the location of the county line between
Pitkin and Garfield counties with re-
gard to which the papers had some
thing to say short time ago
The matter SO far as this Office Is
concerned, was Investigated in an at
tempt to answer question of Mr. G..
A. Warning of Grand Junction, as to
the location of the northwest corner OF
Mesa county.
In tracing out the statutory descrip
tions of the county line, [ found that
the northern boundary of old Lake
county was required to run due west
from the north cnrnpr nf Park
county, and that the northwest corner
of Park county is, undoubtedly the in.
tersectiOn of the northern boundary OF
Park county with the summit of the
Snowy range This would locate the
northern boundary of old Lake county,
the northern boundary OF
Pitkin county, some fourteen miles
farther north than the maps indicate.
While | think the northern boundary
of Lake county is not located in ac
cordance with the statutory descrip-
tion, l also think that, because of the
long period of years throughout which
this line has been recognized no court
would authorize change.
| think it would be extremely deslro-
BILE for tae next Legislature to make
1pne enactment legalizing beyond auy
question the existing line
Yours truly,
CHARLES w. COMSTOCK,
State Engineer.

DEPARTURE FROM HASKELL
METHODS PLEASES SOLONS

Oklahoma City, Jan. 19.-A most no.
ticeable departure from the policies
and practices of Ex-Governor Haskell
has been inaugurated by Governor
Cruce. Haskell ruled the legislature
with an iron hand and any member of
the legislature who crossed the pur-
poses of the executive was marked to
be crushed politically or whipped into
subsection under the party lash.
From members of the legislature
who have conferred with Governor
Cruce it is learned that he has told
them he will keep hands off the law
making department of the state gov
ernment He has told them that he
will merely recommend legislation and
then leave it to that body to exercise
its best judgment. 1t is predicted that
Governor Cruce will come as near hav-
ing his legislative policies carried out
as did Governor Haskell, but that it
will be accomplished through co-opera-
ton instead of through fear of incur
ring the executive displeasure.

Il am from the small county of
Osage," said Dutton, "and l am op-

CLARK OUTLINES
HIS PARTY VIEWS
Declares squabbIe on Monday Was Not
Matter Of Principle But Created
Tempest in Teapot

Washington, d. c., Jan. ia state
ment outlining the views of the demo-
cratic party in the house as to the
meaning of the recent rules fight and
setting forth the precedent that would
have been set If the democrats had
voted to overrule Speaker Cannon at
that time was issued yesterday by Rep
resentative Champ Clark, the demo-
cratic leader of the house and prob
able speaker of the next congress.
The statement follows:
There is a tempest in a teapot
about how the democrats voted on
Monday on the question of sustaining
Speaker Cannons ruling. Some of
the papers have been charging that the
democrats reversed their action Of
March. This is an entire mistake
Every democrat who made speeches
on the proposition pending on March
took particular pains to state that all
precedents were in favor of the speak
er's ruling on the occasion, and what
we were then doing was revolutionary
in character.
Il used this language on that oc-
casion. There is no use to mince the
matter about it. Il is a revolution.
Individually, am not afraid of revo-
lutions, for the people of our blood
always attempt to revolutionize in the
right direction.
The difference in the situation Is
that in March we were fighting to ac-
complish great result, namely to
liberate the house from the domina-
tion of the oligarchy of five, of which
the speaker was one In fact the slang
phrase of the day, he was it, That
was the committee on rules despotism
of old.
The committee on rules composed
of five men, of which the speaker was
chairman, had become intolerable, and
we were entirely justified in upsetting
all precedents that were ever made
to emancipate ourselves, which we
did.
THE question of last Monday was
an insignificant sqnabble between
Judge Fuller Of IlIineis and James R.
Mann Of Illinois, beth republicans,
neither one insufgent ana each deter
mined to- have his own way. Each
one had bill he wanted to get up and
that was all there was to it. There
was no principle involved whatever
and by our votes we said that the
speakers decision was sustained by
precedents. We also said by our votes
that the matter in controversy was not
of sufficient consequence to revolu-
tionjze the house."

GORE SAYS SILENT COURSE
WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIEST
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Washington, D. c., Jan. 19.-"My ex-
perience has demonstrated how much
easier it is to remain silent than COM
plain against certain class of wrong
doers," said Senator Gore. in the con-
clusion of his statement to the house
committee, investigating Indian land
deals today. My fate has been the
common fate of every man who makes
such disclosures as I felt compelled to
make to- the senate" said Senator
Gore, Il knew all that malice and
money could do to discredit me would
be done. The results have justified
my anticipations.
Senator Gore characterized the
country criticism against him as pro
Idigality of perjury At first he said
he believed silence ON his part would
cost the Indians millions Of dollars
AS it is he believed the Indians had
been saved at least three millions.
Cecil Smith, the Texas lawyer, who
closed the argument for ]. F. McMur-
ray, former attorney for the Choctsws
and Chickasaws, said no evidence
whatever had appeared to connect Nc
Murray with the robbery alleged by
Gore. He said the evidence proved
the proposal to pay Gore twenty-five
thousand dollars for his influence was
made as a joke.

CAUSE OF DEATH WILL
PROBABLY REMAIN MYSTERY

The exact cause of the death of Mrs
Henry Raines, who was found dead by
her husband, at her home yesterday
afternoon, will probably never be
known A corners inquest was held
last night and the cerdict of the jury
was that she came to her death by
means unknown to the jury. The
physicians who attended the case are
undecided, but seem to favor the
theory that death was due to kind
of medicine taken by the deceased.
They are inclined to doubt the theory
of Intentional suicide. The funeral
services occurred from the residence
this afternoon.
