Denver.-The year 1914 was one Of
the most prosperous in Colorado's hs-
tory AZ the figures given herewith
amply attest, and the prospects for
1915 are much brighter and better at
the opening than they were at the be-
ginning of the year just closed.
In a New Year Greeting. to the
people of Colorado, Governor Ammona
says:
with the strike called off. with ma
tional policies seemingly settled, with
wider and bctter opportunities for new
settlers and investors than VIC have
had in the state before. with = desire
ON the part Of q great many eastern
people to move to western lands and
avail themselves of attractive offer
ings here, the year 1915 10 full Of
promise.
Our agricultural and livestock out;
put for the past year was the greatest
in our history. with better average
prices for crops than for several years
past. The outlook for the new year
in all lines Of agriculture is very
bright with . good prospect of con-
tinued high prices for years to come.
THE year closes with valuable and
important mineral discoveries among
the older mines Of the state and the
mining industry, being firmly estab-
lished upon = busfnesslike basis,
seems certain Of great revival.
"The general situation promises
during the coming season employment
for our people and good returns for

dition our citizens should unto In &

BRINGS DEATH TO SWIMMERS
Cold Water Psnetratins the Ear o.
ciarsd to De One source Of
Great Danger.

Sudden death of swimmers has new
or been explained satisfactorily. but
it 10 generally assumed that it 10 due
to cramps that affect the respiratory
muscles. The Medical Record says
there IL another theory that has nev.
or had the attention 1t merits" This
10 that cold water penetrating the ear
sets up IN irritation in tho delicate
passages Of the inner ear. It cites an
address delivered by Doctor Guettich
before the Berlin Geological society. In
which he revived this theory.
Tho Irritation Of the labyrinth Of
the. inner ear by cold water might
cause sudden paralysis, just - .
shock to It through . sharp blow on
the chin will cause q knockout" The
symptoms of the swimmer and the
fighter are similar: they can make mo-
tions but cannot direct them: they
may become temporarily unconscious.
In the case Of the swimmer, Of course.
drowning follows unless some one
helps him.
The Medical Record says that per-
sons with perforated ear drums are
those chiefly menaced by this acct-
dent. although 1t may occur to others.
And this in spite of the fact that chill
dren with large perforations Of the
ear drum often swim and dive with
impunity.

By CLYDE W. ENNIS

That every industrial company of any importance in this district was planning to make developments of such nature as to cause the companies to participate in Warrior river rates became known yes terday in industrial circles. The state ment follows the recent visit to the new lock on the Warrior by heads of four of the largest companies here.
 At that time considerable speculation was occasioned by the visit. but no state ment was made as to the reason for the trip. It developed yesterday that the companies represented have properties on the river and plans have been tentatively agreed upon to extend railroad to the river. so that transportation will be given fl om here to the Warrior. There will also be developments near the river of very great importance. A report is being made TOW for the industrial companies inter- ested by one of the river experts in this district to show clearly what the opening of the river means to Birmingham.

I do not believe that a greater crime has ever been committed than the suffering through which that Jew has passed at the hands of the Georgia authorities.
