COLORADO
LEGISLATIVE
D OOl N G s
Senate Passes Carpenter Bill.
. o N G s

The Carpenter bill. with the Parrish
amendment. is regarded as one Of the
most important irrigation measures
that has come before the Colorado
Legislature in many years BY its
final enactmento reservoir or storage
rights in water from the natural
streams of the state will be placed on
the rule OF priority. just as direct ap-
preparations for irrigation through
bitches are now and always have been
placed; and the owners OF storage res
ervoirs will have the right to take up
and impound all OF the unappropriat
ed waters in the state, whether for
domestic, irrigation or power pur-
poses.
After the Cross substitute. which
provided that the law should remain
as it is, was defeated, and the Parrish
amendment had been adopted by
vote of nineteen to twelve, Senator
Carpenter presented amendments to
the amended bill which, instead OF
compelling reservoir owners to install
weirs and self-registering devices for
the measurement of water at the In
take. leaves that matter TO the dis
cretion of the state engineer; and, in
stead OF requiring reservoir owners to
place guage rods at the outlets of the
reservoirs to determine the volume of
water passing out of the reservoir.
permits them to place the guage rods
near the outlets.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

TT is just q year ago that my sis.
ter came over here to US. She had
been here only few weeks when her
eyes began to be red. and to burn and
sting as II she had sand in them.
Then we used all OF the home rene
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to bathe them
with. and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve. but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
go to doctor. because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said it was very severe disease. and
II she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied elec-
tricity to them. and gave her various
ointments. In the two and a half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little i'm
provement
Then we had read 80 much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used 1t. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap. and at night
after washing. she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes. and after a month there was no
longer any mucus or watering Of tho
eyes. She could already see better.
and in six weeks she was cured"

Would Legaiize Racing and Boxing.

An effort is to be made by Repre-
sentative Walker to amend House bill
No. 474, which is intended TO encour
age the breeding of horses in this
state. by legalizing racing meets, so
that it will also legalize ten-round box
ing bouts before bona fide athletic
clubs. Mr.. Walker plans to amend the
title of the bill to make it include two
sections legalizing boxing exhibitions.
According to the provisions of the
amendment that Walker proposes to
introduce, ten-round bouts may be held
before athletic clubs. No decision is
to be rendered, the principals must be
over eighteen years of age, and sub
init TO a medical examination before
entering the ring. The boxing clubs
are to pay a license of 81 900 year
to the city il located within the limits
of an Incorporated town, or to the
county if located outside or the city
The boxers are to receive no money OF
prizes other than share Of the gate
receipts
The Walker amendment is modelled
something after a bill now pending in
the Illinois Legislature. 1t is under
stood that it has the sanction and ap
proyal of the Denver Athlete Club and
that that organization is preparing to
make fight to secure its adoption.

After numerous delays the state tun-
mel construction bill has been brought
up for second reading in the House.
The measure as submitted is new with
the exception of the title. The amend
ed bill gives every guarantee neces-
sary 10 the state for the money which
will be expended in the construction
of the tunnel 1t goes further and
makes the bore through the range an
open gateway" not confined to one
railroad. The Moffat road is obligated
to share the use of the tunnel with
other roads that seek shorter route
to and from the Pacific. This amend
ed bill has been gone over by the best
legal minds in the West and they be-
lieye that ii is constitutional. That
the state will lose nothing in standing
behind the undertaking is vouched for
by railroad experts and business men
The amount required Is s4,noO,OO0. To
Denver alone, it is claimed, the pass
age of the measure and the beginning
of work would mean an increase of
values in one year of far more than
the cost of the tunnel.
The Garman bill for a woman's
eighthour law was finally passed by
the Senate by a vote of eighteen to
fourteen, following debate which
| lasted several days and in which 4
dramatic climax was reached when
Senator Arthur Cornforth of Ell Paso
administered a scathing rebuke to a
delegation from the Womna's Club aft
er few of its members had hissed
! him in the midst of a vigorous oppesi-
tion speech.
The house has taken up the bill pro.
viding for the construction of a state
tunnel through the continental divide
To the state at large this is an i'm
portant matter; to Denver it is the
keenest interest. There is veiled op-
position to the proposal. 1t is pro-
posed to have the Legislature appoint
a conference committee to confer with
like committee from the Legislative
assembly of Utah. That Utah should
be interested in this matter is natural
because the proposed tunnel would
bring the principal points in that state
in much closer connection with the
| East. But that Utah would be willing
| to give funds to aid the actual con
struction work is hardly to be looked
for.
| Representative Ardourel has re-
signed as a member of the committee
appointed to Investigate the coal strike
in the northern fields. He declared
that the committee had refused to
work as long as he remained a mem.

resentative Hurd to take his place. At

Burned to Death at Fayette.

One of the most horrible accidents
in the history of Fayette occurred
this Thursday morning at slightly
after seven o'clock. F. A. Young at
tempted either to start his fire or
liven up the fire which had held over
night in the stove in his harness shop
at the rear of the hardware. He said
he had often done it before, but this
time the gas formed in the stove and
ran back into the can causing 1t 10
explode, throwing the burning gaso-
line all over him.
Enveloped in fame he ran into the
street toward the Humphrey gro
Gerry store, calling to Fred Cain to
help him Fred told him to lie down
until he could get a coat. AS quick
~ as possible Fred wrapped him in
a rubber coat and held it around
Young while he hurried to the back
of the store. Other help came and
with a blanket finally eXtin guished
the fire. Peter Graf arrived little
later with a horse blanket. Young
was placed on a cot and taken to the
hotel. The flesh in places was burn
ed to a crisp and dropped on. He
retained consciousness until nearly
noon, but death did not come unit
between two and three.-Fayette Re

WEEKLY MARKET REPORT.
Report of the Conditions of Western
Stock Market at Kansas
City.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct. 80.
More cattle went to the country
from here last week than any other
week this wear so far, and at prices
as reasonable as at any time this
fall. Medium kinds sold little low
err the last of the week. but good cat
tie found ready sale at steady
prices all week. About / 100 car
loads were taken out, containing
33.GOO head. Receipts last week
footed up $4,000 head here, and the
hold over SATURDAY. night $500 head.
mostly stockers and feeders and
stock calves. Calves sold lower last
week, Nebraska buyer securing two
carloads at the end of the week at
$500, weighing 800 10, mostly heif-
ers, and of fair grade. Arrivals from
the range country last week We're
heavy. ard the stockers and feeders
contained sold at q grade just below
the top. sold at $40 to S4.90,
little thin in flesh. The supply here
to-day is 10000 cattle, quite drop
from recent Mondays, and the mar
ket is STRONGER The bad break on
medium killing cattle last week held
a good many cattle back today that
might otherwise have been here,
from local territory. The feeling
prevails that stock and feeding cat
tie will not be anv cheaper this sea-
son. In fact higher prices are ex-
pected. Yearlings from South Mis-
souri,. and from the native side of
Oklahoma sold this morning at 1925
and good native yearlings at $4.7j to
$500, and some 900 ID stock steers
of GOOD breeding brought S5.25.
Half fat steers, 1920 ID and up
wards, bring up to $500, but the
legitimate long term feeders stop
at $3.50. Some spayed feeding heif-
ers from Texas sold recently at 1925
to S4.75. Stock cows and heifers
bring Sass TO $4.25. Colorado and
the Panhandle and New Mexico
country will be shipping freely an
other month yet, and large number
of westerns pastured in Kansas. now
on corn fodder, will be marketed IN
November. Some of these will be
desirable for feed lots. Prime fed
steers are steady, but middle grade
ling cattle are off 90 to 35 cents
from week ago, though selling
stronger today.
