That Cleveland team Is playing far

the team is getting all its breaks. but
its success has caused such an infia-

the team that their downfall il bound
to come.

CONTEST LIVELY FOR
GOOD ROADS MONEY

Quite lively contest is on between
different sections of Colorado over
the securing of the $4,000 appropri-
ated by congress in the assistance of
constructing fifty miles of good roads
in Colorado. At the last session of
congress 100000 was appropriated
for the purpose Of assisting the states
in building good roads. OF this amount
$4,000 was turned over to the state of
Colorado for use, or rather to be used
in Colorado. The postoffice depart
ment recently asked the good roads
association to pick out 10000 miles
of road and if the county commission
ers in the counties through which the
road passed would appropriate $4,000
the national government would give
$4,000 on the road. The people be-
tween Rifle and Craig and the people
between Lyons and Estes park are
each trying to secure the appropria-
ton. Other sections of the state are
also making a determined effort to
get it.

The latest of the numerous attempts
to construct water shoes for walking
on the water is credited a German
cabinet maker. He has experimental
on Lake Ammer, in Bavaria, and has
walked across the lake-about two
miles-in two hours. The propelling
device is a series of three paddles
mounted on hinges, on the side of each
shoe. A sliding mechanism causes
these paddles to give a forward mo-
ton, like that of skating, as the foot
is moved-an upright stick on each
shoe steadying the walker.

road tickets to be used by anyone hold
ing them, and we have still another
bill seeking to regulate railroads.
There is not a bill in this entire as
sembly that invites men to build rail
roads in this state. AS for ms, am
in favor of knocking the enacting
clause out of every dod-gasted one of
these proposed bills"
The senator may have been little
too drastic in his last sentence. 1t
is barely possible that some of the
measures have merit in them, but his
general proposition is correct. For
over four years Colorado has done
nothing but enact laws and assume
official position, the result of which
has driven capital from our borders.
Only six miles of railroad were con-
structed in the state last year. The
prospects for this years construction
are even less than they were a year
ago. The corporations and men with
wealth are not going to place their
money where they know they cannot
secure good return on their invest
ment. Certainly it will be impossible
to secure safe return on an invest
ment where every department of the
state government is seeking to tear
down instead of to build UP. If the
present general assembly would for
get every one of their tear down meas
ures and would enact just one build
up measure it would be good begin
ming, and it would also serve to turn
the tide of financial immigration to-
ward our state instead of keeping it
flowing from our state.-Pueblo Chief

The limit to which manned balloons
can ascend is about 10000 feet, but a
sounding balloon lately sent up in
Italy, at the University of Pavia,
reached height Of 121, 900 feet, or
nearly twenty-three miles. The sound
ing balloons, the modern device for
exploring the upper air, are usually
bags of silk or rubber, about six feet
in diameter, filled with hydrogen gas.
They rise until the pressure Of the
gas causes them to collapse or explode,
and parachute then brings down
safely the story of the air passed
through, as taken down automatically
by special apparatus. This ap-
paratus, called "meteorograph," "
combines several instruments in one.
1t has an accurate chronograph for
time, an aneroid barometer for height
or atmospheric pressure, a metallic
thermometer for temperature, a hair
hygrometer for relative humidity, and
an thermometer for wind velocity, and
each instrument gives continuous
record by means of a pen resting on a
rotating cylinder covered with ruled
paper. The most remarkable fact
shown by these balloon soundings of
the last ten or twelve years is that the
air exists in two very distinct layers.
In the lower layer or troposphere," the
air coos about l degree Fahrenheit
for each 300 feet of ascent; but in the
upper or isothemal layer, or "stratos-
phere," further ascent gives station
airy or rising temperature. The upper
limit of the isothemal layer is un-
known. The lower limit-lower in
winter than in summer-has an aver
age height of about six miles in middle
ATTITUDES but is lower near the poles,
and reaches great height at the
equator. The temperature of this
layer ranges from go degrees F. be-
low zero in summer to II degrees be-
low in winter.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. &C.
In what is probably his last message
to congress, President Taft today de
tailed in communication of nearly
$4,000 words his plans for a national
budget" declaring the government
faces treasury deficit of 25,000,0 900
next year. Taft presented detailed,
coordinate scheme which he outlines
as definite, business-like fiscal pol
icy, instead of what he terms "gov-
ernment without plan or program"
Retirement Of greenbacks, repeal of
the sinking fund law, centralized su-
pervision of receipts, and expenditures,
and a score of economies are sug-
gested.
"Ours is the only great nation
whose government is doing business
without a budget" the president de-
clared.
Executive officers under the presi-
dent are responsible for money trans
actions aggregating more than $5,000,-
100000 each year, or $4,000, 900 each
business day.
mot only have we been without
adequate information, but this great
institution with its multiplied activi-
ties, may be said to be without plan,
or program. Although we are spend
ing annually $4O0,0O0,000 for military
purposes, we never have had con-
sistent or comprehensive military pol
ICY Nor have we as a nation any
plan for developing the many serv-
ices which have been erected to pro-
vide for economic and social welfare"
To obtain financial perspective, a
national annual budget" prepared by
central board, and supervised by a
joint executive, and legislative COM
mittee, was urged by Taft.

ing fund had mere illegal existence"
the president said the law should be

he said, found it necessary to go into
an unfavorable money market and bor-
row $3.50, ,000,0 900 with the result that
the whole administration was hsndi-
capped and the credit system Of the

ough reform and simplifying of our
financial and operating Statements y
he asserted, have been the result of a
century of neglect"
That S6,500,00O can be saved an
nually by reorganization of the civil
service and abolishment of sinecures
was asserted by the president. He
suggested classification of first and
second class postmasters, paying them
20 per cent more than salaries of
their assistants, and making the post
masters do the work, abolishing the
office Of assistant postmaster.
This, he said, would save $4,512,000.
Complete reorganization, he said
would save $2,0O0,OO0 more. Elimi-
nation of the vast in printing and
distributing public documents was an
other economy suggested. Consolida-
tion of all government mints and as
say offices into one big, central plant,
was also recommended.
Declaring that the government
should remain as nearly debt free
as possible" Taft said,
"Our public has been part of an
admittedly vicious system o. banking
and currency. Every objection to the
retirement of the greenback is now
without force. These outstanding OBJ
legations are constant menace to
both government and private credit"
Payment of the public debt in twen-
ty years by new issue of govern
ment bonds was tentatively advanced.
Purchase, or building by the govern
ment of its own buildings to save rent
definite plan to harness the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers, and abandonment
of useless army posts were other econ
omies suggested
