GERMANS TAKE RIGA
Capture of Big Baltic Seaport Clears
Route for Petrograd Attack-ItaI-
ians Continue Advance.

London, Sept. 4.-Riga, the great
Baltic seaport, has been captured by
the Germans, opening the way to Pet
rograd, if the Teutons can spare
enough men to attempt this 350-mile
drive. Reports of the advance of the
German forces across the Dvina and
the remaining fifteen miles to Riga
show the Russians voluntarily left
their posts and fled north, making the
gains easy for the kaiser's forces.
The Italian army is continuing it's
steady advance in the Triest cam
paign, winning important positions in
the Brestovizza valley and on the Car
so plateau.
1t is estimated the Austrian army
has lost one-third of it's men, and
given up vast amounts of ammunition
and other supplies.
German air raiders visited English
coast towns, dropping bombs at sever
al places. No casualties were re-
ported.

In Georgetown district some twenty

In 1916, Colorado was second in
gold production, with an output of

$4,967,9O0.
From Telluride comes information
that the contract work on the Farrell

A thorough test of flotation has

the process has been found we'll adapt
ed to the ores, making a closer saving
at a lower cost of treatment than any
system ever before attempted.

SMALL BOY HAD NOTICED
That He Knew Man in Khaki as
Marine Did Credit to His Powers
of Observation.

A group of youngsters was playing
on Riverside drive, says the New
York Times. A military man, dressed
in khaki and accompanied by a young
lady, approached the group. The boys
stopped their playing and, with nudges
and gesticulation, were evidently try
ing to identify the man in khaki.
AS the young lady and her escort
drew nearer, one youngster with an
air of superior knowledge informed
his companions: Hes a United
States marine"
Overhearing the remark, the young
lady questioned the small boy: How
do you know he is mariner"
"Why, lady," exclaimed the young
ster, "he wears an ornament on his hat
showing an eagle, globe and anchor,
but doesn't wear any hat cord"
The colored hat cords, yellow, blue
and red, help many civilians to recog-
nize at once a cavalryman, an infan-
tryman or artilleryman. However, the
United States marine dressed in khaki
is still an enigma to many persons
who lack the powers of observation
displayed by the small boy on River
side drive.

Would Speed Up Freights.

Experience in shipping stock to
market from the ranges of Wyoming
has given Representative Frank w.
Mondell Of that state a practical
knowledge Of the economical running
of freight trains, costs per ton-mile,
etc. He claims that the speed of
such trains at the present time is
less than half what it was some years
ago. The elimination of steep grades
has permitted much heavier trains,
and experience has demonstrated that
it costs the railroads less per ton
per mile to move heavy, slow trains
than light, fast ones. One Of the re-
suits has been, according to Mr.. Mon
dell, the shortage of cars from which
the country is now suffering. He be-
lieves the speed of most freight trains
could be doubled, thus doubling the
amount Of freight carried in a given
time, and relieving the congestion in
the farming and manufacturing dis
tricts. Mr.. Mondell would compen-
safe the railroads for the increased
cost of operation by permitting them
to substantially advance their freight
rates.

Relief from German Patents.

Washington, May 23.-(Special
Correspondence = Many of the
drugs in constant use in this cOun-
try by physicians, and absolutely
necessary in the prevention and cure
of disease, are the inventions, of Ger
mans who have had their prepare
tions patented in the United States.
The war has shut off the supply from
Germany of those drugs, causing a
very great increase in their price and
corresponding suffering among the
poorer classes. An attempt to re-
lieve the situation has been made by
Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota
in bill designed to suspend during
the period of the war the patent on
a drug known as salvarsan, widely
used by the medical profession, and
permit its manufacture by anybody
in this country. The measure has
been referred to the Committee on
Patents, and Senator Nelson expects
an early and favorable report as
soon as the need for the legislation
has been explained to the committee
members.

fore the House for the consideration
Of members. His scheme contem-
plates the payment of weekly pen
sion of from 81 to $4 per week to
people past the age of 65, and whose
income is less than SO per week. Con-
gresham Nolan has included SO many
restrictions and limitations in his
plan that the opportunities for fraud
have been reduced to minimum. The
amount of the pension is so small,
and so few people are eligible to re-
ceive it, that Mr.. Nolan believes that
we can well afford to give his propo-
sition trial.

NORM is of the opinion that even If

was largely due to Representative
