CONGRESSMAN E. T. TAYLOR

COngressman-at-larg E. T. Taylor,
one Of the members Of the legisla-
tive investigating committee that is
investigating the formation of the
bill withdrawing all radium lands
from entry is the right man in the
right place and loyal to Colorado's
interests. He has shown that the
withdrawal of lands under this law
means no more nor less than a blan-
ket withdrawal of all mineral lands
of the entire west, and "radfum-bear-
ing lands" will hereafter apply when
ever the government wishes to keep
off the individual prospector. He al
so shows that one-third of Colorado
is now withdrawn as forest reserve
and also that the government owns
lands, that are exempt from
taxation and the remaining 15 per
cent pays all taxes for support of
state institutions, etc. Is it any Won
der our taxes are high, when this
small proportion must pay all eXpen-
ses to maintain the great state Of
Colorado. He also shows that the
government is in a large measure
to blame for the high price of coal,
inasmuch as it has withdrawn all
coal lands in state that can supply
the entire United States with coal
for the next 900 years at the pres
ent rate of consumption, thus Civ
ing the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co.,
and the Victor fuel company, and 9th
ers, the monopoly of the coal busi-
ness Of Colorado, thus enabling them
to charge the people from four to
nine dollars per ton, for coal that
should be placed upon the market
for $2.50 to IS per ton. From this 1t
can be seen that when the govern
ment prevents coal lands from entry
they unwittingly aid monopolies that
are fortunate enough to have located
lands before the withdrawal act was
effective. In case the radium lands
are withdrawn, those now fortunate
enough to have acquired them will
form a gigantic monopoly and thus
acquire millions from radium treat
ment. With the government unin-
tentionally serving the coal trust the
radium trust and the smelling trust,
surely Colorado is in pitiable con-
dition. When we have men who are
loyal to our state and its interests,
on guard, It behcoves us all to see
that they are returned to Washington
to protect our interests without re-
gard to politics, and 1t is our bound
ened duty as loyal citizens to see that
he is returned to watch over and
guard Colorado's interests.

A COUNTER THRUST

The captious comment in The Regis
ter Call,
On some lines of innocuous jingle,
Gives rise to the thought, that for
brains he has gall,
And the room in his "garret" is sin
gle.
He, with vulgar illusions, gives vent
to his spleen,
And with passion his face may be lit
But he should be taught that Ian
guage obscene,
Is pardoned not, even in wit. (D
Perhaps it were better If dope" he
would use,
And into his columns inject 1t,
For in them there's nothing DER
which to enthlse,
If there is, no one seems to reflect
it.
Two things l would ask, If the au-
thor will tell,
Does syntax e'er trouble your dreams
And would it DER tax you to learn
how to spell
All the words that are used in your
themes?
OF all the professions in which men
engage,
The one most despised is the knock
err.
No matter II he be a clown or a sage
The one place for him is the lock
err.
So let's get together and pull as one
man,
The future seems bright for this
place,
Just bury the hammer" and pull all
you can,
And for all mining camps set the
pace.

Samuel r. Crawford, a former op-
orator of the county. now a resident
of Denver, was a visitor to Central
this week. MIR. Crawford is a resi-
dent Of the north side and says that
the people of that section of Denver
county will initiate bill at the COM
ing state election, giving them the
right to secede from Denver and In
corporate as city and county by
themselves. The change will effect
some 1000 people and the new city
and county would form about one
third of the present area of Denver.
The reason the people Of the north
side want to withdraw from Denver
is that they pay over $5OO.000 a year
in taxes and are never benefited In
the way of improvements to exceed
500, 900 a year. 1t would appear thai
the complaint of the north side Is
just; but anyway, no one can blame
anybody or any number of people for
wanting to cut loose from Denver
just on general principles.

FULLERTON, IN DODGERS TRAINING CAMP,
SEES A CHANCE FOR BROOKLYN

ed, Brooklyn has stronger team
than the Giants. ."
The worst fault of the Brooklyn
team has been the abnormal lazi-
ness or carelessness of its pitchers,
and the same fault commenced to
crop up almost before the team had
landed in its training camp here.
Much of this was due to careless
management Of Dahlen during the
last few years. Dahlen did not compel
the pitchers to do the fielding that all
winning pitchers should do.
Shortstop looks like the weakest
spot on the team. Joe Tinker, lost by
Ebbetts' tinkering, would have made
the team look much stronger Neither
Egan nor Cutshaw can play short,

STEAMER MEN LOOK
 FOR MANY ToRuIsTs

SEATTLE, Aug. 12. Continuation of the general European war, now ex- pected by the British to develop into n long and exhaustive struggle for supremacy, will mean tremendous increase next season in the number of Eastern pleasure.seekers touring the Pacific Coast and Alaska. This is the view held by the tourists experts of the steamship companies having their headquarters in Seattle. Europe will lose, to the gain of the Coast and Alaska.
 The unexpected conflict in Europe finds the Alaska Steamship Company the Pacific Coast Steamship Company and the Admiral Line in position to take full advantage of the situation. Because of the exposition in San Fran cisco next year. which will bring thou sands of tourists to the Coast, all three companies have been getting ready to begin their tourist adyertis- ing and booking campaigns in the East months in advance of the usual time.

WASHINGTON, Aug IS. = Hanizl von Heimhausen, acting head of the German embassy in Washington, says: "It is erroneous to assume that the English declaration of war was exclu- sively caused by Germany's invading Belgium. Negotiations in London had preceded the German attack on Liege. During these negotiations Sir Ed. ward Grey promised that England would remain neutral only under the following conditions: First-Germany was not allowed to commit any act of hostility against the French coasts in the North Sea; second German troops were not allowed to pass through Belgian territory; third--the German navy was not allowed to at tack Russia from the Baltic sea"

JACK OUSBY KILLS
 A PHANTOM DEER

Jack ousby killed a phantom deer some where on some enchanted island, or through some misunderstanding several well known citizens of Juneau have been the victims of a cruel hoax perhaps somebody lied. The phen' omena of the disappearing deer is yet unexplained according to Harry Ray, mond who deeply sympathizes with those who were disappointed.
 Jack Ousby has been out of town everybody knows, ever since the deer season opened until Monday night. He is reported to have killed more deer than he cared for and to have told Tom Krigbaum that if he would go down to the float where the Fox is moored early yesterday morning he would find a nice fat doe which was his for the taking. Tom went down so the story goes, but there was nc doe in sight. He examined the boat thoroughly and resolved that even with John Doe warrant nothing in that line could be produced aboard the vessel.
 Krigbaum had hardly cleared him self from the premises according tC report when Tom Cole came down the plank with an "ahoy aboard the Fox ringing from his manly chest He finally woke up the engineer and ask ed for the deer ousby had left aboard the ship for him. The engineer knew nothing of the deer. Tom slipped uI
 the plank cussing mildly between exclamations about the crooks that infest the town and the carelessnesS of transportation people. A few minutes after Cole had disappeared Jim McKanna is said to have come aboard and in authorative tone de handed his plunder-the mowich, left by his friend ousby. By this time the engineer was exasperated and drag ging himself from the cabin informed McKanna that he knew nothing about any old mowich or anything resemb ling it-had not seen deer aboard the ship in weeks-and would Mir. Mo Kama please so way and let him sleep. McKanna went.
