JAMES GRAY, JOURNALIST,
DIES SUDDENLY AT DESK
Washington Correspondent Of Min
neapolis Journal and Former
Mayor of Minneapolis.

James Gray, Washington correspond
formerly mayor of Minneapolis, died
suddenly at his desk In the Colorado
building yesterday afternoon. His
death shocked the newspaper coterie
of the city. as Mr.. Gray was one Of the
foremost members of his profession in
the corps of correspondents at the capt.
tai.
The funeral services were held at his
late residence, 2S02 Wisconsin avenue,
this morning. and the body sent to Min
neapolis for interment. At a meeting
of the members of the press gallery,
held at noon. resolutions of regret for
the death of Mr.. Gray were adopted
and resolutions expressing the sym
patty Of the correspondents rendered to
Mrs. Gray and her four children.
James Gray was born in Scotland in
1862. He was brought to this country
when a child, and educated here. After
graduation from the University of Min
nesota in 1885 he entered journalism
and became widely known in Min
nesota. At one time he ran for gov
ernor of Minnesota on the democratic
ticket, and although the republican
carried the state, Mr.. Gray ran far
ahead of his ticket. He was mayor of
Minneapolis in 1899 and 1900
He went back to newspaper work, and
represented a Minneapolis paper at
Washington for a short time several
years ago. He returned to Minneapolis
and again came to Washington about
four years ago, and remained here con-
tinuously. He was a keen observer of
current history and a writer with an
extremely sharp style.

In the Mountains

Mid Colorado's mighty hills l
wander, while all kinds of thrills
pervade my spirit and my spine,
noble ecstacy is mine. l who but
recently was weak, now blithely
leap from peak to peak; I'd give
the channels cards and spades, and
beat him vaulting over glades, or
scaling high and dizzy slopes, al
though that critters learned the
ropes. Forgetting rheumatic and
govt, I overpower the mountain
trout; afar from busy haunts of
men, | chase the rabbit to its den.
One sheds the weary cares that
cark at Manitou or Estes Park.
forgets the workday world of
men, and thinks he is boy again.
The years slide off my timeworn
frame; l feel quite up to any
game; I whip the landlord when
he tries to charge too much for
mothball pies; | gayly break the
chauffeur's back who'd stick me
with his ancient hack. The noun
tain air is cool and keen, the
mountain prospects are serene;
there's naught but mountain in
this c1ime-my bills are mountain
all the time.

Whip It Into Shape at Once.

provements for next year should inn
mediately confer with the District
Commissioners in order to have the
needs of their respective sections con-
sidered in framing the annual esti-
mates.
Heretofore the Commissioners have
called on the citizens associations to
submit lists of improvements desired.
On account of the delay in the passage
of the District appropriation bill this
year. however. and the uncertainty as
to whether any item contained therein
would have to be submitted in the es-
Inmates again, the Commissioners have
had no time in which to discuss new
improvements with the various civic
bodies.
Heads of departments are required
to submit their estimates to the Com
missioners by September Is. 1t is i'm
portant that citizens associations get
in their requests by this date.

tation to Congress. Under the law
they must submit the estimates to the
Secretary of the Treasury not later
than October Is.
