Police Clerk and Mrs. J. A. Nc
Afferty, Patrolman A. Anderson

ed to Seattle today to testify in
the inquest over Donald Graves,

Baking in the sun, the village
lay huddled beneath us, sort of
a nest of brownish yellow, flat
rooted adobe houses, on a great
shelf of the mountain-side.
"Then we started off to work
our way around the head of the
canon. 1t was night sunset when
we reached the bank of the river,
above the canon, and found 1t
here a pleasant, quick stream,
running between two low banks,
and looking as If it might have
trout in 1t. Here we knew we
were in danger at once, SO we
backed off into the brush again,
and decided to lie low until
moonrise.
From our hiding place We
could see quite a way down the
slope, to a spot where heavy
spring spouted out from under a
rock. When Badly and Antonio
got thirsty both at the same time
1t seemed quite all right that they
should creep down to the spring
and get a drink.

House Approves Bill by Vote of 2s2
to AZ, with Party Leaders
in Its Favor

Washington.-The Shackleford bill,
under which the government will dis
tribute s25,OO0,OOO for good roads
among the states, conditioned upon a
dollar for dollar appropriation by each
state was passed by the House by a
vote of 2S2 to AZ.
Its passage followed several days OF
debate, during which most of the
hundred and more speakers advocated
the project in the interest of the farm

ject as a dangerous opening wedge
for heavy future inroads on the treas
ury.
Democratic Leader Underwood Re-
publican Leader Mann and Represen-
tative Hinebaugh of Illinois, the rank
ing Progressive, all voted for the
measure. Representative Mann said
that the cities could well afford from
their wealth to contribute taxes to aid
the country in construction of roads

Denver.-Heavy development of Col.
orado oil fields will be witnessed in
the near future, according to the an
nual report of James Duce, state oil
inspector, which he has submitted to
Governor Ammons. He says there is
evidence that the tide OF capital which
has overlooked that form of invest.
ment in this state, is now turning.
Colorado has several oil districts
that it would well repay the capitalist
to develop, and we understand that ne.
sotiations are pending with this in
view in several of the districts" the
report reads.
Until recently, while money was
freely invested in the prospecting for
oil in other states. ColoTado's great
opportunities We're being overlooked.
However there appears TO be evidence
that the tide is turning toward this
state, and the near future will see
much more active operations carried
out in this line"
The Falcon field in El Paso county,
he reports. is being prospected by
Eastern capitalists, and he remarks
that interesting developments can be
looked for" other fields in which
work is being done are at Aurora, near
Denver: Weld county, Mesa county,
Delta county, La Animas county and
in the San Luis valley. Drilling is be-
N l. ~ q i.1
and the inspector believes that "as
soon as transportation lines are avail.
able it will doubtless become a
shipper"
Twelve changes in the present oil
inspection law are recommended by
him, among which is one designed to
prevent the waste of gas from gas
producing wells which are not now be-
ing used for beneficial purposes.
He says that in Mesa county 2500OO
cubic feet of Illuminating gas escapes
in every twenty-four hours from one
well and that in Boulder county from
100000 to 100000 cubic feet of gas es-
cape DUNG every twenty-four ours.
He would make it compulsory for
owners to put caps on such wells, in
order that the gas be retained for fu-
ture use.
During 1913 approximately 5,767, 900
gallons of crude oil We're produced in
Colorado. The department inspected
92,l93,G0O gallons of refined Oil The
state will realize n profit from the
office for the first time since it was
created. The amount of revenue to
the government for the year will be
S5,l9i, which is the profit above the
expenses of collection. The amount
formerly went into the pockets of the
chief inspector.
The Florence fields are credited
with the greater part of the production
for 1913. They produced 5,444 ,451 gal.
Ions OF crude oil. The Boulder district
produced 322,949 gallons.
Other recommendations of changes
in the present law are for the proven.
tion of the promotion of wildcat oil
schemes, for the prevention of oil es.
