Hapdoor; tested the two levers.
The reason for the two levers
is a curious one; but it was a
clever idea.
The warden did not want to
have the sending of four men into
the next world on his soul
Not a guard in the prison would
have this terrible thing on his
soul.
So the warden called in the
worknien:
make two levers" he said,
4both to spring the same traps.
Make them both so they will do
the same work at the same mo
ment.
Then I shall give the word,
and I shall pull one lever and a
guard will pull the other, and
we'll never know which of Us sent
Che men over"
A clever idea, is it not? And
surely it win be great relief to
the consciences of the warden and
the guard! For they win not
know who did the actual muir
official execution.
And while the warden was pac-
ing up and down his office; while
the silent guards were Siding

condemned men were praying;
while the workmen were testing

BEST IN COUNTRY SHOWN
BY SUMMARY Of RECORDS
Local forecaster Nichols Prepares Interesting Figures on
Climatic Conditions Here During Year 1911-LttIe Wind,
Slight Precipitation and EqudbIe Temperatures

\ condensed summary of Grand
Junction weather conditions during
1917 has been prepared by Local
Forecaster r. $. Nichols and is pre-
sented TO Sentinel readers today.
A study of this summary brings
out many interesting facts that go to
prove the long-established contention
of the Grand Valley booster-that
this section has one of the most de-
sirable climates in the United States.
The average velocity of the wind
for the year was only five miles an
hour. Mr.. Nichols declares that this
is an average conditions: that Grand
Junction had less and lighter winds
than almost any other section where
weather stations are established.
His records also show that the
late spring frosts of last April were
unusual in that they came so late in
the month. The same temperature
earlier in the month would have been
negligibly damaging.
An S " inch precipitation for II
months must certainly be considered
unusual. while less than 20 inches
of snow fell during the year. and
that was considerably above the av-
eraRe.
The highest temperature recorded
was 80 degrees, and It will be re-
membered that this was for but
short period The lowest is shown
to be s below.

FREE TRANSPORTATION TO
EMPLOYEES TO Be LIMITED

The limitations being placed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
on the issuance of free transporta-
ton by the railroads is becoming
more and more stringent and the rail-
road employees of Colorado are now
becoming appreciative of the powers
of the commission.
Although the passage of the Hep
burn anti-pass bill prevented the Civ
ing of interstate passes to any but
actual railway operatives and en-
ployees. a recent order of the COM
mission makes it even more difficult
to get free transportation outside the
state
Beginning with January / all
transportation issued by any railroad
for interstate trips must go through
the hands OF specific person in the
offices OF the general passenger agent
and that person viii be held RESPONSE
bic by the commission for the issu-
anCe of all passes. heretofore. it is
said, the commission have found the
records of the railroads pertaining
to pass-giving strangely difficult OF
Location and the tracing of interstate
passes practically impossible. Now
however, the lines who request pass
es for their employees who wish to
make trips out of Colorado must ap-
point a regular pass man and as 9TH
er roads are subject to the same rul-
ing all requests for passes go through
the hands of these men. II is believ-
ed that this will curtail to some eX-
tent the interstate passes. At least,
that is said to be the wish OF the
commission.
In this connection the request made
by Traffic Manager F. A. Jones OF
the local Chamber of Commerce that
the railroads of Colorado submit to
the commission an itemized statement
of all free transportation is especially
pertinent. This request will be made
the subject OF an oral argument be
fore the COMMISSION in Washington
within the next month or so and If
granted will reveal some interesting
information about the free transpor-
tation business of the Colorado Mid
land and the Rio Grande.
