TOBOCCANING DOWN THE ANDES
FRANK G. CARPENTER tells

thrilling ride he made from the clouds to the
sea on gravity car. Starting amid the gla-
ciers, he loses his brakeman and has to shoot
down through the hail and the storm. Hang
ing to precipices, flying on spider-web bridges
of thin steel over frightful chasms, wtirling
about curves in the midnight darkness of
winding tunnels and coming down into the
light of day with shudder as he looked at
the depths far below hinl-such were few
of his experiences on this remarkable ride.

The second was b. A. Phinney of

wise used gas which they did not
need to- His speedometer also
showed 50.3 miles for the distance.

Denver. June 22.-Governor +. NJ
Ammons is very much in favor of
passing a law which will relieve him

The governor also will place his

by the special session of the legis-
latlre with which to fquidate the
indebtedness incurred by the strike

because the acts planned would have
been unconstitutional and lawless.
Our forbears. clear of head and

vicious attacks by those in power and
sought to insure to us a government
of laws and not OF men, and through
their wisdom such government is
ours for a little vigilance.

said, Is the only brand that will pro-
