OVER PUBLIC
UTILITIES VESTED IN

Authority over service and rates
of all public utilities in the state of
Colorado is vested in the State public
Utilities Commission, regardless of
whether the utilities are located in
so-called Home Rule" cities oper-
ating under special charters, accord
ing to decision handed down by
that body. recently in the case of the
Castle Rock Mountain Railway and
Park company VS.. the Denver Tram
way Company.
No private contract containing dis
criminatory provisions or unjust
rates or furnishing discriminatory
service may stand, nor may unreas-
enable or discriminatory rates re-
main effective even though embodied
in a franchise adopted by vote of the
people, if proper action to annul such
rates is brought before the commits
sion, states the decision.
Because of statewide interest in
the prohibition question, and local
interest in other questions pending
and which are closely in point, this
decision is of considerable import
ance in the opinion. of attorneys. 1t
follows closely along the line of de-
cisions by state supreme courts, and
even of the U. S. Supreme Court,
that any integral unit of a body poll
tic necessarily must be subservient to
the statutes of that body polite,
when those statutes are legally and
constitutionally adopted, else endless
confusion and chaos would result.
The decision cites authorities to
show that the police and general
supervisory powers of a state are
superior to the police or supervisory
powers of any component part of that
state, whether county district, city
or town, in all matters common to
the state at large or having more
than local interest. Only in purely
local affairs is community en-
powered to deal with a situation,
even under the special charter made
possible by the Twentieth amend
ment to the Constitution of Colorado
| according to the Commission find
| ing. In such case, even, the quail
| flying qualities of the general statutes
must be taken into consideration.

PIG TAIL CLUB WILL Vie
WITH PARENT ORCANIZA-
TI0N IN POPULARITY

The auxiliary organization to the
Monte Vista Hog Growers Associa-
ton bids fair to outdo the parent or
ganization in point of interest. Since
the initial steps were taken toward
perfecting the auxiliary. the commit
tee has had to enlarge their prospec-
tus materially to provide for the in
creasing outlook
Starting with a plan of organizing
with a charter membership of 63, it
was found that a good many in ex-
cess of that number desired to affili-
ate and accordingly at meeting
Monday night it was decided to in
crease the charter to about 200 mem
bers.
The date for organization has not
been fully determined upon, but
plans are being made for an address
Dy Dr. GlOVer ana other features
which will make a gala event of the
organization meeting, which will be
announced by written invitation.
The offer of cash prize by r. G.
Breckenridge to the one presenting
the best name for the club has
brought number of suggestions to
the secretary. The firm of Goudy &
Twitchell of Denver has submitted
several names, specifying that in case
one of these is selected, the prize
money shall be turned into the club
treasury.
The venture is receiving especial
interest from the young men of the
farm who realize the benefits to be
derived from a well organized and
properly conducted club of this kind.
Aside from the entertaining features,
the parliamentary practice and edu-
cational opportunities offered will be
invaluable.

the operators could not keep from
the nosing ones and in itself is sig
nificant to say the least.
Many people have gone out from
Alamosa, but returned, after taking
a good view of the stockade and top
part of the 125 TT. derrick, none the
wiser. w. N. Ickes and John Gertei-
sen Jr., officers of the San Luis Val
ley Oil & Gas company, who leased
the land to the Texas operators. also
visited the stockade, but no amount
of persuasion on the part of these
gentlemen could get them peek in

of any kind whatever
The above is the true state of af-
fairs in the oil field today, and our
readers can sum up and form their
own conclusions, but remember, that
at least we have expert operators

of capital to explore, develop and
commercialize the product if they
find it. This in itself means much

A PRIVILECE-NOT A PENALTY
TOLIVE IN THIS VALLEY

1t only requires the knowledge of conditions
elsewhere to convince of the fact that it is
great privilege to live in the San Luis Valley. New
comers from Missouri tell of the great damage
done to crops from heavy rains reports are made OF
heavy crops of alfalfa in Western Missouri, Eastern
Colorado and other sections with market for the
same; fruit growing sections of the northwest suffer
with sale for splendid yield; vast territories in
the middle west visited by drouth excessive
moisture places where earth quakes, cyclones or
blizzards are an intermittent but constant fear-a
these suffice make the attempt to live hazardous
occupation, to accumulate wealth certain uncer-
ainty and the pursuit of happiness an idle dream.
In comparison, this valley the year round and
year after another has virtues that make it
Garden of Eden" We have never had complete
crop failure and matter how much is produced
there is always some kind of market. AS for a
waste of fodder there is such thing here and the
poor Missouri farmer who cannot afford to fatten his
pigs SOC would go into ecstaces of delight if
he could turn his bunch from field of our alfalfa
onto the next field containing peas and watch them
grow fat without cents expense of harvesting.
Without question the San Luis Valley, with its
pure artesian water mild climate and wonderful nat
ural advantages is pre-emnent from a health and
pleasure standpoint, and secondary things with
a reasonable amount of effort.

FACING THE FACTS

The Wilson program for improving defense
by is out 1t is complete refutaton of the criti-
cism Of divers newspapers the effect that the pres
dent not alive to the great and pressing needs
of the occasion 1t shows him not miltarist but
sober patriot facing the facts without fear or
fnchng. 1t shows him willing to make the sacrifice
needed to put this country in a posture of safety
the sacrifice of the appreciation of the peace-at
any-pricers.
The program, says the Chicago Herald involves
the addition of from Is to 20 battleships and battle
cruisers of the dreadnought type-the construction
to extend period of five years. 1t calls for
proportonate increase in the number of coast SUBJ
marines, seagoing submarines, destroyers, scout
cruisers and auxares. If congress adopts the pro-
gram, the broad result will be the doubling of the
American navy at its completion--in brief naval
strength which will assuredy be adequate.

come of the operations being carried
on in the oil fields near Mosca. Since
the advent of the Texas oil drillers
with their capital and experience, it
has been assumed that the question
of finding an oil strata of commercial
value would be solved. After drilling
onerations had continued for some
time a systematic effort was made
TO secure leases upon all the land in
the vicinity, indicating that the op-
orators had encountered sufficient oil
signs-or the actual oil itself-to
Justify securing the control of the
territory.
The drilling operations have been
zealously guarded from all parties on
the outside but the general belief is
that oil has been discovered The
Alamosa Journal has the following
to say:
Alamosa is all excitement over the
reported oil strike that followed the
shooting of the big we'll last Friday
afternoon. For some time it has
been believed that the Texas COM
pany that have been drilling north
east of Alamosa on land leased from
the San Luis Valley Oil & Gas peo-
pie, had encountered oil, but for rea-
sons best understood by themselves
no information of any kind could be
cleaned from those in charge of the
drilling operations, and no person
has been allowed inside the stockade
that encloses the we'll and machin-
cry. 1t is believed that they have
delved into the bowels of the earth
to depth of 5000 feet, and that
they have encountered oil is the gen.
eral opinion of those who are most
Interested and are trying to keep
tab on operations in the oil field.

operating under lease have con-
tracted to do the development work
