Consideration of the administra-
ticn bill, which provides for a food

ton, neared the final stage, but the
introductio nof a number of amend

probably will prevent a final vote
before Saturday.
An amendment which would au-
thorize the secretary of commerce to
take steps to promote more general
use of fish to relieve the food strin-
gency was offered by Senator Fetch
er. 1t would permit the secretary to
catch and market fish. A letter from
Secretary Redfeld in support of the
proposal was read.

eliminate the marketing section. The
amendment will be discussed again
tomorrow.
Support Pledged to Hoover.
At the opening of the debate,
Chairman Gore of the agricultural
committee asked that the Lever bill,
already passed by the House, with
the amendments made by committee,
be substituted for the similar meas
ure previously under consideration
i'm the Senate. This was done, and
will facilitate final enactment.
Representatives of southwestern
cattle growing interests called on
Herbert C. Hoover and pledged their
support to the food bills and to the
food administration to be created
with Mr.. Hover at its head. They
were headed by Isaac Pryor of San
Antonio, said to be the largest cattle
grower in the country.
Officers of the Wholesale Grocers
Association also saw Mr.. Hoover,
and promised support for the legis-
lation.

At the request of President
Wilson, Governor Gunter has ap-
pointed County Attorney Erwin
l.. Regennitter to represent the
government in case there arises
any dissatisfaction with the work
of the exemption board in grant
ing exemptions. If any citizen has
any reason to believe an exemption
has been granted to registered
man who should not be entitled to
such exemption, thereby compell-
ing some other man to serve in
the army in his place, complaint
should be made to Mr.. Regennitter.
as he is clothed with authority to
investigate the case and reverse
the decision of the exemption

There is no remuneration allowed

SPRINGS COLO, FRIDAY AUGUST
Think Idaho Springs
On Eve of Big Boom

Three visitors to our city this
week are of the opinion that of
all places in the United States
Idaho Springs affords the greatest
opportunity for mining develop
ment. With the prevailing high
prices for metals, and with every
reason to believe silver will 90
much higher in price and remain
high for years to come, and with
the vast mineral resources of this
section practically undeveloped
they predict an early awakening
of mining activity and a growth
and development Of Idaho Springs
such as she has never seen.
These men are j Frankel of Salt
Lake, j. Ii. Levy of Cleveland and
X. j. Braud of Thibodaux, La.
They are not inexperienced in min
ing, and have been quietly in
vestigating conditions here with a
view to starting something. They
are of the opinion that Santa Fe
mountain shows every indication
of being vast store-house of min
eral wealth and that with proper
development it will give up untold
millions
