house.
The house measure will undertake
the task of LIBERALIZATION on the unani-
nous opinion of the committee that
congress has power under the consti
tuition to take fun control of the Ma
tional guard in peace as well as war.
Under that authority the bill Will au-
thorize a maximum strength for the
national guard of 425. 900 on "a basis
of eight hundred men for each mem

hlbit the disbanding of any organi

The liberalization provisions will
exceed the proposals of the national
associations tentative bill in many re-
spccts, including the maximum
strength authorized. The guardsmcn
proposed only five hundred men to II
district The house committee bill
will add provision for a national
guard reserve and for recruiting reEi-
mcnts sent to the front and will fix
the peace pay of privates at $iS "a
year. second licutcnants $3.50, first
licutcnants $500 captains $500 and
higher Officers in proportion.
Members Of the committee say that
consultation with high legal author
tiles has ASSURED them of the feasibil-
ity of their plans under the law. They
believe that appointment of officers Is
Virtually the only power in respect to
the national guard vested I'm the states
by the constitution and argue that
with the federal government holding
the purse strings and requiring that
only those who pass suitable exam
nations may draw pay even that diff
ticulty Will be removed.
1t is proposed to empower the pres
ident to draft members of the nation
al guard into the federal service in
war time, setting at rest Immediately
any question of conflict of authority
over the troops when they are needed
for purposes of the nation.

An Efficient Official.
Mr.. CroS ;land has been in the
county attorneys office for nearly five
years. For three years and a halt
he served as assistant to Pat Malloy
and was then elected to the office of
county attorney
Mr.. Grassland has served as county
attorney for the past II months and
there remains ten months more of his
term. lie has handled we'll the af-
fairs of his office, and practically the
last act he performed was to procure
injunctions to close up about %
alleged joints in the city. AS a result
of this padloCks have been placed or
the doors of all these places.
lie came To this city about five years
ago from Mayfiold, Ky. and shortly
was appointed to the office of assist
ant county attorney His efforts in
this position were watched with inter

ing the endorsement of the Demo.

houors in the office and was clectct
| by a substantial majority.

ton. a considerable share of the work
in the office has fallen upon tn,
shoulders of Mr. Evcrs and he ha,
been a conspicuous figure in the con
duct of the office. He is well quail
fled for the position. lie enters upor
his new duties this morning.
Tho rise of George Reeves, who as
sumes the duties of assistant county
attorney by virtue of the advance OF
t.vcrs, is remarkable. Mr. Reeves /.
a young man, still in his early

NEW YORK, September z. - The

history of the city, which union lead
ers declared would tie up every ele-
waited and subway in the city, is on.
Employees of the surface cars have
also called strike and few cars are
operating.
Thousands fearing trouble went to
work in jitneys and motorbuses. The
lnter-Boro Rapid Transit company is
operating subways and elevated lines
and claimed that the trains left the
barns on schedule.
Taking advantage of the release of
strike breakers in various cities by
the calling off of the railroad strike,
hundreds hurried here.
Five thousand police are on strike
duty. InterBoro President Shonts
claimed that normal service will be

Time and again the Blade has ad-
vised you to keep an eye on Cave
Basin-that in time it would prove
to be one of the most valuable min
eral sections in the state. That time
is now near at hand.
The last of the ore sacked at the
Mary Murphy was delivered at the
Durango Smelter this week. The
shipment consists Of about IL tons,
of which one-half ton is extremely
high grade it value being represent
ed by four figures. The ore deliver
ID will be smelted within few days,
and it's true value then determined.
The lessees of the Mary Murphy,
Hamblin 4 Lawson, are now in an
eight foot vein of ore that will prob
ably average $50 per ton, but con-
tains streaks of silver ore that will
run about 10000 ounces in silver to
the ton.
The Mary Murphy will now be
worked to its full capacity and the
ore taken to the smeiter as fast as
taken out.
The Mary Murphy will make one of
the greatest producing mines in Colo
fado, and there are other prospects
in the Basin that may prove equally
as valuable-Bayfield Blade.
