Leadville, Colo.-Leaving death and
ruin in it's white course, tremen-
dous snowslide swept with terrific
impact down the steep passes of
Mount Ebert, in Lake county one
mile above Twin Lakes, Wednesday
afternoon shortly after 1 o'clock,
buried alive two mining men, one a
former resident of Denver Twenty
other mine employees narrowly es-
capped death as the frozen snow and
earth Numbered down the mountain
side, The dead are j. W. Remine, 33
years old, brother of Mrs. John Wink
Ter, lila Acoma street, Denver, and
Paul Stiffler, 40 years old, of Twin
lakes. Remine was the son of w. P.
Remine, the mention of whose name
recalls to the pioneer prospectors one
of the most successful of the early
day gold diggers.
Both men were in the employ of the
Gordon group of gold mines With
score of other men they were endeav-
oring to reach a shaft opening by
cutting their way through deep
snow.
Then came the moving, crashing,
laundering slide, swapping trees at
the roots as if they we're straws,
sweeping them down, down the bot
tomless depths of the sheer mountain
side.
In the path of the slide were the
mine buildings, which were wrecked
by the oncoming run and carried
along in it's maddening speed.
With a great roar, the slide finally
was broken up when it struck high
barrier of cliffs near where the town
of Twin Lakes is situated

COMMISSION REPORTS
BOARD ON CASH BASIS AND HAS
SURPLUS.
Nearly 5000 Accident Gases Reported
and Fifty-Six Death Claims Adj
justed During rive Months.

Denver.-The first annual report of
the Colorado State Industrial Commits.
sion, covering the five months of it's
existence, was made to Governor
Carlson and shows marked progress
in the development of the compensa-
ton, insurance and industrial branches
of the commissions activities. Dur
ing the five months between 5000
and 5000 accidents were reported
from all parts of the state. Fifty-six
death claims, each calling for month
ly payments aggregating $4,000, were
were adjusted, with compensation av
eraging $500.
Twelve industrial disputes were
settled without disorder OF loss OF
time to employer or employee. One
disagreement, that of the journeymen
tailors. is now being investigated.
The commission got work for more
than 100 former strikers by interced-
ing with employers.
Prosperity shown by the figures of
the State Compensation Insurance
fund is considered by the commission
to be perhaps the most important fea-
ture of the report.
The fund has a surplus of &c.,
664.57, this being over and above re-
serves abundantly sufficient, in the
opinion of the manager, to liquidate
every obligation.
Business written and paid for indi-
Gates an annual premium income to
the state fund of s109,33592, of which
94,003.92 is collected from private
employers
Approximately $500 employees, earn
ing S7,573,000 annually, are covered
by the policies.
THE state funds business" says
the report, has been uniformly con-
Quoted on strictly cash basis, fact
auguring well for the character of the
risks underwritten, since Willingness
to pay cash in advance generally is
accepted as evidence of good moral
hazard"
The report declares that the fund
premium income is growing steadily
drawn from virtually every industry
in the state, except coal mining and
the manufacture of explosives.
The first dividend will be paid to
policy holders next July.
1T may be stated with propriety,
the report declares, that, for private
employers, the expectation of a div:
dend averaging 20 per cent of the pre-
miums is justifiable one"

Value of Terminals in Denver.

case brought before the commission
last July for a number of industrial
concerns. The Burlington values its
Denver terminals at S8,011, 309 A
These were the only two companies
which filed detailed statements. The

reduced from 20 and % cents per ton
to 8 and 10 cents per ton for inter-
change and industrial switching with
minimum of 50 and $3.50 per car.

How flies and mosquitoes carry dis
the exhibit on hygiene and sanitation
made recently by the colored pupils
of the Washington Cd. CO schools.
The models in this were made by
junior students of the schools, and will
be used in instructing grade children
as to the methods of keeping well.
Right and wrong kind of diaries. right
and wrong methods of supplying
houses with drinking water, as well as
plant; right and wrong methods of
ventilating houses; proper methods Of
disposing of garbage and trash, and
how children may aid in keeping COM
munities in which they live clean and
healthful were included among the
models displayed One of the points
of interest about this part of the quad
ruplex exhibit was that the cost of
the material used was but slight. Old
boxes. pasteboard. clay and illustra-
tons cut from magazines were all
used to good purpose. Miss Jessie
Wormley of the normal faculty d.
rected the students Students taking
the domestic science course under
Miss Helen Irving compiled exhibits
showing the various uses to which cot
ton is put. as well as it's by-products.
From the raw material to various
finished products was shown through
actual material and pictures, not only
of cotton, but also of linen, wool.
hemp, ramie. jute and silk. So far as
is possible material and information
furnished was used. The students
made crayon pictures, showing various
nutritive materials and units contained
in the ordinary foods. Some Of the
most modern pieces of apparatus were
on display in the laboratories under
Charles M. Thomas, who has charge
of the sciences in the school. The
equipment for psychology tests is up
to the minute" and serves a double
purpose-for instructing the embryo
teachers in psychology and how they
can best teach those who come under
ical experiments, particularly with de-
fective children. Although the material
used in the science department is al
ways out. being in constant use, 1t is
attracting wider attention now than
ordinarily, in connection with the 9TH
er exhibits. Teachers attending va
rious institutes recently have in.
spected it, and had it's used explained
to them by Mr. Thomas.

Twelve Hundred Marooned.

Los Angeles, Jan. 2O.-Whether the
great lcvees which hold the Colora-
do river back from the Imperial val
ley will hold was a question on which
hinged the possible fate of human
lives and millions of dollars worth
of property. Heavy rains moving
eastward left most of southern Cali
fornia recovering from floods, trou-
blesome but receding, which claimed
four lives and caused damage esti-
mated at 100000.
A wall of water eleven feet high
was sweeping over the spillways of
the Roosevelt dam on the Salt river.
The rise, however, had ceased, though
another one was predicted by recla-
nation officials.
Flood conditions assumed alarm
ing proportions at Yuma, Ariz., last
night. Reports from all points along
the ella river above here as far as
Phoenix were to the effect that the
river was rising rapidly. The Colo
RADIO river rose one and one-half feet
in twenty-four hours and began to
rise more rapidly late Wednesday
night.
In addition to the flood of water
rushing toward Phoenix down these
two rivers, between $1,000 and $4,000
feet of water a second was pouring
over the Laguna dam.

is something that is hard for strangers

older generation of Negroes to their

seems to have found expression, in a
higher form, in Major Motion. Al
though he has little schooling outside
of what he was able to get at Hamp-
ton institute, Major Motion is one Of
the best read men and one of the most
interesting men to talk with I have
ever met. Education has not spoiled
him. as it seems to have done in the
case of some other educated Negroes.
1t has not embittered or narrowed him
in his affections. He has not learned
to hate or distrust any class of people,
and he is just as ready to assist and
show kindness to a white man as
to black man. to a Southerner as to
a Northerner.
