one and four years respectively,
burned to death in log cabin, will
never be known. The mother left
the house in the afternoon of cleo

ren at the home in the care of a
neighbor boy, aged II years. The
boy was unable to give many details

turned and the house was mass of
ruins.

IMMIGRATION BOARD PLANS
TO SETTLE UP THE WEST

The number of inquiries now be-
ing received by the Colorado State
Board of Immigration from persons
desiring information regarding the
opportunities for homeseekers and
investors in the state indicates u
very wide and general interest in
Colorado and plainly forecasts for
the immediate future strong move
ment of general farmers, stock-rais-
ers, dairymen and investors In this
direction. These inquiries at the
present time are coming chiefly from
the states of the middle west, the
southwest and from Canada.
In answer to classified advertise
ments that have been run by the
board in daily newspapers and the
weekly farm papers in the sections
named, an average of about 100 in
quiries are being received daily by
mail In addition to these there is
constantly increasing number of
personal inquiries made at the Of
fee Among those making inquiries
is a fair percentage of men of mod
crate means who desire to invest in
various lines of mercantile and other
business, and who ask information
as to whether opportunities such as
they seek are to be found in the
state
The board is working on the the
ory that a man who comes to Colo
RADIO with his family and has not a
sufficient amount of ready money to
enable him to start properly in the
line of industry he desires, to fol-
low is liability rather than an as
set to the state. They realize that
n small percentage of such men will
succeed in the future, as they have
succeeded here in the past, but the
majority of them are almost certain
to become for a time at least a bur
den upon the communities where
they settle. For that reason, the
board is advising persons of INSULT
cient means to remain where they
hi' uhlii tity HuNV lhohts
to start properly in new country.
The board has now practically
completed it's general industry sur
vey of the state, and will in few
weeks publish a set of district book
lets, containing such general inform
alton about the opportunities offered
in the various counties of the state
| as the prospective investor or home
seeker will require There will be
seven of these booklets, represent
| ing as many districts of the state,
and collectively they will cover the
entire state. They will answer any
and all of the many questions that
are asked in the hundreds of letters
the board has received. When the
board has determined from its cor
respondence with prospective home
seeker or investor what section of
the state will be best suited to his
needs, it will send the booklet for
that district only.

ington Water Power Co. own more
than half Of all the developed power.
The activity Of the Stone-Webster COM
pany for the past few years in the
Puget Sound country has given them
absolute control Of hydro-electric power
on the Pacific coast. The company
has built and acquired practically all
the water power plants west Of the
mountains. 1t has other projects in
view and is working on some of them.
The possibilities for harm in water
power monopoly is too great to be over
looked. Because of the immense
amount yet undeveloped the Stone
Webster and Washington Water Power
ownership may not be considered a
menace to the public at this time.
But right now is the time to pass a law
to make such monopoly impossible
in the future. The latent power in the
streams and lakes OF Washington (and
what applies to Washington applies to
all other water power states) is des-
tined at no distant day to furnish power
to the manufacturing industries OF this
state. Upon cheap power from this
source will depend the upbuilding Of
great manufacturing institutions in
Washington. for which no state offers
greater opportunities than this. To
permit this cheap source OF power
to fall into the hands of a monopoly
is to check true development, not as
the opponents OF the Ferris bill assert,
help development. The Ferris bill
provides for federal control with un.
limited rights to dispose Of power sites.
State control is no substitute at all fol
federal control. Under state control
there would be confusion and conflict.
There would be as many power codes
as there are states.

Preparedness and Pork

Not ineptly has money doubtfully
taken from the government been called
PORK" The prize ring origin oil
the new synonym for government loot
only adds to its flavor.
One who advocates preparedness
from love OF country reads with sorrow
and humiliation OF the shamelessness Of
congressman and senators who already
plan to bring home bacon to their re-
spective districts in the guise Of an ap-
preparation to build shipyard, a mu-
milton plant, fortifcation or army post.
Are there enough honest and patriotic
citizens in every state to repudiate the
graft as did Hoquiam in the postoffice
appropriation Must principle and
honor ever be subordinated to the
almighty dollar2 The congressman or
senator who would fitch money from
the government with no other purpose
than to enrich his district would sell
the body Of his father or mother for
soapgrease to put money in his purse. :"

StandardOiIing the Universe

The publication in the daily press
since the first of the year of the huge,
brain-dazing profits made the past dear
by the Standard Oil Co. and its twenty
odd subsidiary companies, reads more
like fairy story, something unreal and
beyond comprehension, than the bare,
naked facts about the profits on the
necessities Of the people Of this world.
This is question for congressional
activity. The profits of the Standard
Oil Co. and its allied and subsidiary
corporations will the past year amount
to approximately a half billion dollars.
This money will be invested in interest
bearing city, county and national
bonds, railroads, farm mortgages, lands,
buildings, and, indeed, every character
Of property that will again earn a profit.
The profits Of the company VIII during
the year 1916 vastly increase over the
past year. Only the astronomer who
measures in mile figures the distance

opportunity to read the Ferris bill it
can not here be approved or condemned

eral understanding Of its provisions and
the fact that the great water power

LYMAN Abbott on Patriotism


the Outlook Magazine OF March 8, on
sale next week. DR.. Abbott believes
in preparedness along sane, sensible
lines, as does every other citizen of the
United States who puts the welfare of
his country above personal inconven-
fence and selfshness. Whether MIR.
Bryan and hisfollowers are demagogues
or simply asleep over war crater, does
not matter. Those of US who differ
with him think it sound policy to invest
billion or more in preparedness. All
the time hoping the ships we build
and the war munitions we pile up may
rust and rot from disuse, and that the
drilling our youths receive may prove
to have been only a beneficial diver
sion. The stake is too great to do less.
"A nation is made great, not by its
fruitful acres, but by the men who cul-
tivate them; not by its great forests,
but by the men who use them; not by
its mines, but by the men who work in
them; not by its railways, but by the
men who build and run them. Amer
lea was a great land when Columbus
discovered it; Americans have made Of
it great nation.
In 1916 our fathers had vision Of
a new nation conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal" Without an
army they fought the greatest of exist
ing world empires that they might real
ize this vision. A third OF a century
later, without navy, they fought the
greatest navy in the world that they
might win for their nation the freedom
OF the seas. Half century later they
fought thru an unparalleled Civil War
that they might establish for all time
on this continent the inalienable right
of life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap
piness. A third OF century later they
fought to emancipate an oppressed
neighbor and, victory won, gave back
Cuba to the Cubans, sent an army Of
schoolmasters to educate for liberty the
Filippinos, asked no war indemnity from
their vanquished enemy, but paid him
literally for his property. Meanwhile
they offered land freely to any farmer
who would live upon and cultivate it,
opened to foreign immigrants on equal
terms the door Of industrial opportunity,
shared with them political equality, and
provided by universal taxation for uni
versal education.
THE cynic who can see in this his
tory only theme for his .egotistical
satire is no true American, whatever his
parentage, whatever his birthplace. He
who looks with pride upon this, history
which his fathers have written by their
heroic deeds. who accepts with graft
tude the inheritance which they have
bequeathed to him, and who highly
resolves to preserve this inheritance un-
impaired and to pass it on to his de-
scendants enlarged and enriched, is a
true American, be his birthplace or his
parentage what it may"

Two Souls With But a Single Thought

The voters of the state of Washing
ton who elected Wesley L. Jones as
their senior senator should be proud Of

Bryan, he is fighting to have congress
refuse passports to Americans travelling
on belligerent ships carrying American
passengers. Tacoma Tribune.

preparedness.

Democratic FIOundering

The one word in the English Ian
guage which, more than any other, de-
scribes the condition OF the democratic
party at this time is "Floundering-
To fling the limbs and body, as in
making efforts to move, to struggle, as
horse in the mire, or a fish on land;
to roll, toss and tumble; to founce."
See Webster's dictionary.
For about three months the demo-
cratic president, the senate and house
of representatives have acted like moth
ing so much as a mule in the mlre, or
tadpole on dry land. Every struggle
has gotten them more deeply in the
mire. Every founce has taken them
farther from the waters Of safety and
refuge. The democratic president foun-
dered around in the mire Of prepared
ness and got one foot hopelessly stuck.
Now he is founcing from the senate to
the house of representatives on the
question OF whether American citizens
shall travel on armed merchant vessels
under the flag Of the allies. All Of
which brings to mind the historical in
cident, where it said Nero fiddled while
Rome was burning.
The foundering in the democratic
senate and house is equally evident to
the unlocking American public.
A suggestion TO the cartoonist: Dem
ocratic Mule in He'll OF Fix. Mule in
bog; the president trying to get the
animal onto solid ground Of prepared
ness by the ears; Kitchen hold of the
tail pulling in opposite direction; Bryan
trying to get hold of leg.

the various characters. 49, +

the Gymnase and Antoine theaters of
Paris, and equally we'll known in Ber-

ability, is seen at first literally as

the evolution of the "yampire-woman

seen on the screen in a wonderful
gown that serves to accentuate the
