Another thing of more than
usual interest is the fact that the
House of Representatives will be
called on to decide who is enti-
tied to six seats held by members
of the body. The opinion seems
to be that only one member will
be counted out, and his place will
be taken by a lady, Mrs. Evan
geline Hurtz. This contest is a
chapter which is being taken
from Denver politics, and in
counting the $1,000 ballots it is
hard to foretell what might hap
per. 1t is hoped, however, that
the count will be speedily and
satisfactorily taken care of and
that it will in no way interfere
with the regular legislative work.
For the promise is that there will
be much to do which work will
be reported in order.
No committees have be en-
named, except on elections and a
few minor ones. These will be

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The down town boys consisting
! of former students of the high
school beat the high school boys
in a basket ball game last Friday
night. However the high school
boys had the satisfaction of TAX
ing their opponents into camp in
a game a few days before.
Hazel Dotson has been compel
ed to leave school owing to her
parents moving into Kansas,
where they have purchased a
home. Teachers and pupils re-
gret to see Hazel leave as she
was a very dilligent and thor
ough student. Her two sisters
also had to leave the grades.
The school seems to miss their
magazines more than one would
think. These were used for class
work, for current topics and
somewhat in scientific work.
There have been no magazines
since last October and the loss
works hardship upon teachers
and pupils.
The eleventh grade have practi
cally made all the arrangements
for "The Lady of the Lake. to

Denver, Colo, Jan. 6, 1917.
Report on the first week of the
21st General Assembly.
AS Representative for the dis
trict comprising Lincoln, Chey-
enne ard Kit Carson counties l
will make an effort to write an
article each week for publication.
In this way l hope to be able to
keep the readers in the district
posted on what the 21st General
Assembly is doing and the pro-
ceedure at the Capitol building
in general. -
The first week of the session
passed with no unusual develop
ments, aside from a few incidents
which will be noted.
The first work was orgapiz l.
ton. This was done in a short
time, and within a few hours af-
ter meeting the House reported
to the Governor and the Senate
that the House was ready for the
ansaction of business.
One thing that should not pass
our attention, is the fact that the
Speaker of the House, elected by
unanimous vote, is Boon Best,
from Arlington. representing the
district adjoining Lincoln and
Cheyenne counties on the south.
Eastern Colo, ado is coming to the
front. and this is a recognition
that we we'll have reason to be
proud of, and in Mr.. Best we
have man whom no apologies
will need to be made at the end
Of the session.
The vote of the State officials
were canvassed in joint session
of the House and Senate on Fri
day. The count would have been
much more interesting if it could
have been made about seven
O'Clock on the night of November
7th last. However, Bob Higgins
and State Treasurer, Mulnix,
were anxious listeners in as much
as their vote was 80 close. the
count gave Higgins 1,700 to the
good.
