Hyde, until year ago, was political

verdict but evinced no other sign of
emotion.
The crime for which he was con-
gicted consisted of forcing President
Robin of the defunct Northern bank

threat that if the loan was not forth
coming the city deposits in the North

had control would be withdrawn.

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.

DR.. George Wharton James, the new
editor Of "Out West" who is one of
the best known, most talented and
highly appreciated literary men on the
sundown side of the Mississippi, was
a visitor in the city last night.
He was on his return from the
cliff dwellings where he gathered ma
terial for the book he has in prepa-
ration on the subject.
For two months he has been cover
ing every nook and corner on the
Navajo reservation, increasing his
wide range Of knowledge Of the ira
ditions, manners and habits of the
tribe. He is writing book on the
Indian blanket which will fill long
felt want for not only will it contain
the ancient significance Of the blanket
but also the modern significance
which is vastly different. Probably
no man in the United States has as
broad knowledge of the subject MOI
is better able to present it in man
ner more interesting to the genera
reader. The books will be sent tc
the publisher some time during th'
present year and people Of the south
west will look forward to their pub
lication.
This morning the genial doctor de
parted for the vicinity of Santa Fl
where he will add 10 his wonderful
store of knowledge further facts re
garding the prehistoric residents O.
the southwest.
DR.. James is a most pleasing gen
tleman to meet. His breadth Of cul

DENVER, Nov 30.-"Frank Smith

you can get them"
The above telephone message was
received by Chief of Detectives John
Leyden from Mrs. James A. Station,
wife of one of the two men who es-
capped from the Adams county Jail at
Brighton.
An automobile filled with detectives
at once hurried to the address given,
but arrived there just too late.
The fugitives evidently suspected
the wife of Station had tipped off
the police and they decided the best
thing to do was to get out of town
as fast as possible.
1t is believed now that they have
separated, that Smith left the city
last night on Santa Fe freight train
south bound. Station is still in hiding
somewhat on the outskirts of the city,
according to the police, and may be
captured any moment. They are far
more anxious to capture Smith, who,
with William p. Code, killed Detec-

JAMES MORRISON, SAN

especially the old residents Mr.. Nor.

Ten years later he moved to the

gagged in mercantile business. Last
April he sold his establishment and
with his wife went to the old home
in Scotland where he expected to spend
his declining years. The damp eli
mate did not agree with him and after
a six months stay he decided to re-
turn to Cortez where he had enjoyed
very good health.
When he passed through Durango

IGNITION OF NINE GASSES BY
ELECTRIC SPARK.

Many accidental explosions may be
traced to the touching off of gasses
by electric sparks. A recent collier
explosion appears to have been caused
by the tiny sparks at the trembler
contact of an ordinary electric bell;
the accident emphasizing the need for
absolutely sparkless apparatus OF all
kinds in mines, factories or anywhere
that explosive atmospheres are likely

THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS

A busy growing nation such as ours
certainly requires internal improve
ments to keep pace with our prosperi-
ty. Our prosperity is measured by in
dustria activities and such activities
are scattered in all parts of our great
commonwealth.
There are several essentials to pro-
mote this growth, and one of the chief
ones is that of goods roads or high
ways.
Investigations have shown that the
average horse can exert at walking
pace a traction pull of about 1-8 TO
1-10 his weight Assuming this to be
about the correct value, what effect
will the kind of road have upon the
load the horse is able to pull.
On the asphalt pavement it requires
80 to 10 pounds pull to move one ton.
on sand road 100 to 200 pounds pull
to move the same load. We might con-
clude that the limits are 30 to 25O
pounds for the best to the poorest
surface. This one horse, say of 1,5OO
pounds weight, could draw load of
five tons on the smooth asphalt pave
ment and only 1900 pounds on the
soft sand road. These figures are
only approximately correct since they
are average values, but sufficiently
close to give us some idea of the rela-
tive value of good and poor road sur
faces.
Before any district or state can full
ly realize the value of good roads,
special action on its part must be
necessary This action must embrace
three things; non-political organiza-
ton, whose purpose is to provide good
roads; a practical and economical con-
struetion and maintenance.
There should be one or more good
business men on the board of control,
lawyer of some years experience
should be a member and there should
be represented on the board Of control
an engineer who knows his business.
| The engineer should also be chief
engineer Of the construction with as
many assistants as necessary to carry
on the work of road building. Some
states Of our commonwealth have
made the state engineer the chief en-
gineer of road commission whose
personnel is composed Of business
men, lawyers and engineers who re-
ceive no salary and are appointed by
the governor of the state for defin-
ite period of time.
There are several methods Of or
ganization and only experience will
eliminate the undesirable elements,
leaving the good. What might be
successful in one part Of the country
may be unsuccessmul in another
