OF the new free trade tariff. The

Big Land Tract. Back to state.

Denver.-In response to Land Com
missioner Hoggatt's order that all pro-
moters of Carey act projects should
appear before the land board and
make proof Of work done on their pro-
jects or should forfeit their rights to
segregated land. the Tyrone Canal
Company Of Las Animas county sur.
rendered to the state the $4,000 acres
segregated for Its project.
This company was capitalized for
100000. but owing to litigation over
the Seven Lakes reservoir site had
been unable to start work on its pro
ject. No money had been collected on
its contracts.
The Blue Mountain Canal Company,
which has a pending application for
10000 acres Of land in Rio Blanco
and Routt counties. sent notice that it
will abandon its project and dissolve

Denver.-Members Of the State Tax

announcement made by Chief Justice
Musser of the Supreme Court to Gov.

Undecided as to what they could do

Commission appealed to the Supreme
Court for decision. II any Of the A.
SCISSORS object to their assessments, It

commission could lower assessments

Mu.t ee Work Of Expsrt,.

There will never be a consistent.
uniform and scientific tariff revision
until the rule is adopted that congress
r''@" enact the principle on which the
tariff shall be framed and non-parti.
san experts shall fix the rates which
conform to that principle. 1t is the
function of congress to say whether
the rates shall be for revenue with
incidental protection. for protection
only to the wages of labor. or for pro-
lection to exclude all foreign compe-
tition. That is the part of the tariff
question that cannot and should not
be taken out Of politics.
But when that principle is enacted
the labor Of settling what rates carry
out the principle is for experts. Under
the present system no tariff bill for
decades has been true to its professed
principle in all Its parts.

ODERN means OF locomotion
on the Grand canal In Venice
have been stubbornly fought
," for some time by the vene-
tian gondoliers, but this
seems about to be overcome by the
formation of cooperative society
among these boatmen. This body is
providing q public service Of small
motor launches between the railway
station and the Adriatic shore. They
maintain that the launches can be
used by those in hurry while the
gondolas will be retained for the use
OF the leisurely pleasure seekers.
But why should anyone be In
hurry in Venice? 1t is a place to
dream and rest. One of the greatest
attractions In this most picturesque
city on all the continent is to loll back
In gondola and glide slowly down
the Grand canal. That first ride one
never forgets. 1t is as II he had been
transported into an altogether differ
ent world, for everything is strange, un-
familiar. As the boat proceeds leisure
ly along the stately old palaces. with
the high poles with the colors of their
owners painted on them, add to the
charm. They are ancient and many
are in rather dilapidated condition,
but that makes them seem all the
more picturesque. 1t is fitting that
they should be.
Many Great Palaces.
Here. the gondolier tells you, is the
Palazzo Of Desdemona. beautiful old
place crowded In between two larger
palaces; there is the palace of the
Brownings, one OF the stateliest on the
