HOSMER STANDS
GOOD CHANCE OF
COLLECTORSH|P
Fight Over Customs Job in Den
yer is Proving Interesting
to the Politicians.
(By DELL COBB.)

Denver, Jan. 3U.-lhe delay OF
making his recommendation to Pres
ident Wilson of a man for collector
of customs in Denver, is causing con-
siderable anxiety among the four
democrats who are battling for rec
ognition. The place was to have
been filled month ago, and prob
ably would have been had it not been
for the struggle just at the time
John Vivian's term of office expir-
ed. Dec. 26, oecasioned by the new
currency bill debate in congress. This
fact and an additional one in which
the two Colorado senators-Shafroth
and Thomas-have lined up on the
matter of federal appointments for
this state, are said to be the reason
why Vivian's successor is not now
known.
Shafroth has unqualifiedly endors-
ed George Hosmer for the place
while Thomas is known to favor eth
er Hosmer, j. p. Foley, j. A. Ferris
or Ollney Newell. and will not COM
nit himself for any particular can
didate.
Thus far, however, it is said Hos
mer, who was formerly state print
ing commissioner and Senator Shat
roth's campaign manager when he
ran for the United States senate, is
the strongest man for the place and
probably will be appointed. While
Secretary McAdoo was in Denver
few days ago he announced that the
collector OF customs here would
probably be named about March l.
On his return to Washington from
San Francisco, where he has gone on
matters pertaining to the selection
of regional bank cities, he will take
up the Denver collectorship at once.
John Vivian has held the office
for little more than four years,
having been appointed by President
Taft. He is a republican. His term
of office expired Dec. 90, but is now
holding on until his successor is
named.
The fact that Hosmer is an un-
compromising progressive adds to his
chances of success at the hands of
the present national administration.
]. p. Foley Is a strong platform man
and was formerly city chairman OF
the Denver county central commit
tee. J. A. Ferris lives at Fort Col
Inns and is farmer. He is plat
form democrat. Newell has always
been platform democrat and as such
was once elected county clerk of
Boulder county.
The final appointment narrows
down to which of the two Colorado
senators will WELD the greatest in
fluence over the federal appointiye
powers at Washington. Both Shat
roth and Thomas stand close to Pres
ident Wilson with possibly little
advantage in Thomas favor. Thomas
is satisfied if 'the president names
any one of the four candidates. Shafi
roth wants Hosmer who is a pro-
gressive. These conditions, there
fcre, tend to complicate the appoint
ment.

AGREE ON DRAFT
OF OFFER TO Be

Ditch Districts Prepare Petition
Which viii be Basis Of Of
fer Under High Line.

At joint meeting of the boards
of the Palisade and Mesa County Ir-
rigation districts in the office of S.
N. Logan, their attorney this after
neon the draft OF petition to be
presented to Secretary of the Inter-
ior Franklin X. Lane for taking
water from the high line ditch was
drawn up and formally approved.
The petition asks the government
to deliver the water TO which the
two districts are entitled to the
canals of the districts, through the
government project. The Mesa
county district offers to pay s1.25
per acre for the water to which they
are entitled, forty feet in all, and
the Palisade district offers to pay
seventy-five cents per acre for the
eighty feet which they claim.
The petition also asks that their
priorities be recognized and that
matters OF dispute be left to the
state engineer.
The members of both boards were
all present this afternoon and the
matter was thoroughly discussed. 1t
Is claimed by the districts that the
price offered the government for
their water, is more than it now

The petitions will be made up in
legal form and circulated among the
land owners of the two districts for
signatures When a sufficient num-
ter of the ranchers have signed II, to
insure the matter carrying at an cleo
tion, the petitions will be turned over

WHALES IN The HUD loN.

Thcy Gave the Dutch Colo Fists a
Scare In the Winter of t:46.
In 1646 the colony of RensseIaers-
wijk had very hard winter of it in
deed. On the 25th of November the
North river was closed and remained
frozen for four months. A very high
freshet followed, which DESTROYED a
number of houses in the vicinity, near
1y carried away the fort and inflicted
considerable damage in the colony.
This, however, was not an unus Aal
thing to the colonists, who in Holland
had been accustomed to equally hard
winters. Much worse was the appear
ance of sea monster that they had
never seen in their native country.
"At the same time as the freshet."
says Antonio de Hooges, secretary of
Rensselaerswijk, 'there appeared be-
fore us a certain fish of considerable
size, snow white in color, round in the
body and blowing water out of his
head. What it portended God the Lord
only knew. At the same instant this
fish appeared we had the first thunder
and lightning this year." The public
astonishment had scarcely subsided
when another monster was seen, esti-
mated at forty feet in length, of
brown color, having fins in his back
and ejecting water in like manner high
in the air."
This fish (which had first ascended
the river (the North river stranded on
his return to sea on an island some
forty miles from the mouth of the
river, near which place four others
grounded this year."
This island goes since by the name of
Walvisch or Whale island.-Gazette de
Hollande.
