COLORADO WOMAN
A heroine TWICE

Preparing.

DENVER, Col. March s.-Mrs. Ro.
setta List. OF Escalante, Col, saved
the lives of passengers Of a fast train
several days ago and also rescued her
dinner from being spoiled at the same
time.
Mrs. List lives across thel Grand
river from the Denver and Rio Grande
railroad tracks at Escalante. One day
she noticed rock slide falling across
the tracks at turn which would have
hidden 1t from the engineer The din.
ner was on and she was awaiting the
return OF her husband and had pre-.
pared many good things for him to
eat.
Leaving her meat and vegetables on
the stove she leaped into a skitf and
rowed hurriedly across the river,
reaching the tracks few minutes
before train neared the turn on which
the rocks were piled high. Taking off
her apron, she waived Il, and the en-.
glneer stopped the locomotive few
feet from the slide.
Without waiting for congratulations
of passengers and the train crew. Mrs.
List jumped back into her skiff and
and rowed frantically across the river
to her home. The passengers. who
were about to make up purse to re.
ward the woman, stood amazed 10 see

They didn't know that she was in

ner for hungry husband, which
meant more TO her than anything ex.
cept the saving of human lives.
For several days railroad officials
were puzzled at the actions OF the
woman. After the train crew had re.
ported the rock slide and stated that
an accident had been averted, they
recommended that the woman be
found and rewarded.
Ten days later officers Of the Den.
yer and Rio Grande railroad found
Mrs. List and presented her with u
check for S25 and a letter Of thanks.
When asked why she had deserted the
passengers and crew in such an
abrupt way after performing such a
heroic deed, Mrs. List said:
THAT was nothing. did my duty.
But that wasn't going TO prevent me
from doing other duties. My dinner
was on and didn't want to burn the
victuals. You see. my husband would
have been hungry, and l had worked
hard to prepare the meal"
1t is said that Mrs. List once before

FRAMING NEW BILL
OF APPROPRIATIONS
House Finance Committee
Has Measure Containing
Vetoed Items.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, March o.
Though as yet no revenue measures
have been passed by the legislature,
the House finance committee this
week will begin the preparation OF
another appropriation bill which will
contain practically all the items We.
toed by the governor from the regular
appropriation bill.
These vetoed items total $685..
60S.09. The enactment by tho legis.
lature Of measures which would pro.
duce one million dollars new revenue
in addition to the present ten cent
state levy for each of the next two
years, would, as expressed in the
statement OF the board Of public
works issued Friday. enable the state
to meet all liabilities, including old
appropriations, amounting to $3.50 600,
together with the deficit OF s624, 900,
and all the appropriations in the 1915
appropriation bill, after deducting the
amount vetoed by the governor, and
finish the biennial period July /, 1917,
with surplus OF approximately $780,.
600.
Can be Restored.
While few hold the opposite view,
1t is the consensus OF opinion that the
vetoed items can be restored at the
extraordinary session, as the second
subject named in the governors pro.
clamation convoking the session was:
TO make appropriations OF public
money to pay general charges upon
Che treasury"
The governor has repeatedly cx-
pressed regret at being forced to veto
these appropriations. In his special
message TO the legislature, submitted
Thursday, the governor declared that
in curtailing the appropriation bill he
tried to eliminate items that could be
sacrificed with the smallest amount
OF harm to the welfare OF the state.
He adds: "Of the many items in the
appropriation bill that was forced to
veto on account OF lack OF revenue,
consider the majority meritorious,
and some absolutely essential for the
welfare OF those institutions upon
Which fell my disapproval OF the ap.
preparations made for them on &C.
count Of the fact that there was no
revenue available from which to meet
the sum allotted to them"
Vetoed items.
The principal items vetoed by the
governor include the following for
each Of the next two years: Kings

FOREST OFFICE NEWS.

The Payette has had an interesting
experience with bark beetles neal
Garden Valley. Some 1000 logs, cut
last spring when full of sap, and not
moved before fall, furnished ideal
breeding places for the pests. They
multiplied rapidly and spread from
the logs to surrounding yellow pine
trees and seedlings. The result is
an infestation that may prove very
serious if not checked This can be
done only by peeling all infested trees
and logs and burning the bark, to-
gether with the limbs and all infested
seedlings. In this way most of the
bark beetles, which winter over" in
the bark, will be destroyed and the
attack brought under control. The
bark beetle is an innocent looking in
sect smaller than a kernel of wheat
and of much the same shape. There
are several kinds, all of which are de-
structive. The Payette forest has
six species in it's collection of insects.
