Cash funds of the state of Colorado
are at low ebb. Since September of
last year more than 81 800 900 of state
water bonds and Liberty loan issues
of the government, with the result
that the incoming treasurer, H. +.
Mulnix, finds it impossible to distrib-
ute state deposits through the banks
of the state as formerly and confronts
the necessity of trimming ship closely
in order to keep abreast of the de-
mands for cash The bonds were
bought for investment out of the sur
plus accumulated in the state school
funds from sale of lands.

grossment committee had made its re-
port upon the measure. No speech
making preceded the taking of the
vote. Less than five minutes after
Senator Starkweather had moved the
adoption of the measure, the vote had
been recorded and announced.

the district for roster fields during
the war, when men were in great de-
mand in other metal mining camps,
are returning. They assert they find
conditions there much better for labor.

The Board of County Commission
ers of Ell Paso county in their last
session passed resolution appropri-
ating $4,000 to be used in payment
of debts incurred during the influenza

to the exhaustion of the Colorado
Springs city treasurer's appropria-
tion of $4,000
