Friend Of Governor.

Senator McColloch was appointed To-
gal adviser for the two departments a
few days after the workmen's compen-
sation act was approved by the people.
The industrial accident commissioners
wero appointed by the governor, and
so was the corporation commissioner.
McColloch has been the spokesman for
tho West administration FOR the last
two legislative sessions, and, when ap-
pointed, II was stated that It was In
reward for political services.
Roscnting any encroachmcnt upon his
territory, the attoruey.general some
time ago advised tho state treasurer
that he could not legally pay warrants
for McColloch q services, and today he
rendered him an opinion on the sub
ject. McColloch draws $ls5 from each
department, and the state treasurer
declares he win not pay any Of his

opinion. The attorney'goncral In his
opinion, holds that tho law provides
that all the states legal business is TO
be performed by the attopey-general,
and the district attorneys, and that tho
state officers and departments cannot
employ special counsel with state

Business Suspended.

10 AeeJ ueep'
Business Suspended.
Business was practically suspended.
Business men and their employees could
not get to their stores. Those who
could get to business could not get back
home.
Hotels and lodging houses were filled
Theatres and school houses were used
as sleeping places. The fuel problem
was serious. Owing to the strike in the
Colorado coal fields, few families had
on hand enough coal to last more than
a few days, many were already suffer
ing from cold, and it seemed certain
that in another day or two with the
temperature falling, as it was doing to-
day, thousands would be actually in
danger Of freezing to death in their
homes.
During the forenoon, by frantic exer-
tions, shoveling crews succeeded in
opening mile Of street car track and
the first car was moved in 90 hours.
The company's officials admitted, how
ever, that they could not get the rest
of their system in operation again be
fore next week.
Fire Danger Great.
The fire danger was great. In trying
to respond to several alarms while the
storm was in progress, the fire depart
ment found it impossible to move it'
apparatus, and the firemen had tc
make the run on foot, wallowinl
through immense drifts and carrying
their ladders
No pretense of railroad service wal
made, except on one line to the east
ward and on that only two trains hat
arrived since Wednesday.

SASHES AND COLLARS.

The little sashed lady above with the
button strap sandals is suggesting very
gracefully the vogue Of the sash as
well as of the embroidery collar In
this case the sash IS made part of the
frock and is of Roman striped ribbon,
in the bright colors that children love.
BY all means let some little girl have
Christmas sash, for it will furbish
up an old frock and satisfy her where
she had yearned for a Whole new one.
These sashcs may be had ready made
or ribbon for them may be bought by
the yard. If the latter then by all
means finish the ends so that it will
look all the more like a really sash
sew on a fringe, draw the goods into
a tassel or a pretty knot, sew it into a
fancy arrowhead.
The collar has been eleveriy fash
toned from a piece of simple embroid-
cry edging, squared sailor wise in the
back. Ever so many pretty and mex
pensive neck finishes for juniors as well
as elders can be made in this way from
the muslin embroideries that are so

HATS AND COATS.
What about new hat? Does any
little lady need one7 Then let her
listen TO what the fairy god-mothcr
fashion has to say Let the hat, like
mammals, match the coat or the frock
either in color or material. Velvet is
very smart and SO are plushes and COR
duroys, as well as rough woods.
The hat that the bob-haired lady is
wearing is of shaggy white felt, very
simply trimmed as little folks hats
should generally be, with cherry colored
velvet ribbon. Her froclI or coat could
be cherry colored or white, and the har-
mony would be delightful for children
are, as a rule, fond Of red, though it is
best not to insist on their wearing a
color they are not fond of or that they
feel makes them conspicuous, for they
may be made very unhappy thereby,
and suffer in a way that grownups
seem to have forgotten, and that would
not be, you know, in the spirit of
Christmas love.

There are many mothers and fathers,

The present that is useful can be
jus, little different, CHEEKY surprise,
something that the boy or the girl has
always wanted, SO as to be like other
boys or girls. Many mothers UNDER
stand that this desire of the child not
tc be conspicuously different from
0.her children is not lack of indi-
'iiuality or OF initiative, but comes
rather from the human sense of fell
ln,,ship which is good thing to cul-

matching the coat is Unusually smart
The design of the coat is typical of
the seasons styles, for the low wide
sash is very much in favor, as are col
lars and cuffs of another material. In
this case the latter have all the SEM
biancc of fur, though they are really
one of the fsbrc or imitation furs that
have such a run this year. Such trim
ming is indeed more appropriate for
the cMld's garment which is soon out
grown and on which it is not always
wise to expend a large sum of money.
Goats as we'll as tippet and muiT sets
are had in these fur-like plushes and
will give the child just as much pleas

fort, as the real pelt. Another beauty
of the fabric furs is that they can he
