Senator Pittman Asserts
Treaty S Fate In Hands
Of League Foes.
INTERPRETATIONS AND
EXPLANATIONS FORSEEN
Speech First Admission OF
Strength OF Demands For
Reservations.

Washington, July 2J-( United Press.)
Admitting the possibility that the sen
ate may adopt reservations to the peace
treaty, Senator Pittman, Nevada, in a
speech to the senate today, declared the
treaty's fate rests in the hands Of those
demanding interpretations an explana-
tions.
Pittman's speech is the first admis.
sion-by an administration senator THAI
the demand for reservations has any
real strength.
'If reservations may be made that
we have right to feel certain will %
accepted by all the other nations with
out involving reopening of The whole
matter Of peace negotiations, in my
opinion such reservations will be ap-
proved by two-thirds of the senate, :"
said Pittman.
League Is Safe.
"The fate of the league of nations
does not rest with those senators who
would destroy or emaseulatc the cove
nant but with those who favor the
league, but who now have in mind rati-
fication with interprctative reserva-
tions. These senator's have nearly all
indicated they will not do anything
knowingly that would result In destruc-
tion of the league Of nations They
are moved by no such desires. They
are urged simply by fear lest some mis-
understanding should srise in the future
through indefinite language in the body
of the treaty.
The vital question is whether quail
fled ratification of the treaty will send
it back for re-negotiation, and If so,
what the probable result Of sueh action
will be.
"If it is necessary that the treaty be
approved by the senate. il is equally
necessary that any amendment or res
erystiai or Interpretation added by
any other government must receive SEN
ate approval"
Jsps Ready TO Counter.
Warning that counter reservations
may be made by other powers, Pittman
said:
'Japan's s most bitter fight at the
council table was to grant the league OF
nations jurisdiction to prevent the Uni
ted States, Canada and Australia from

Georgtow tunnel, the vein hav-
ing widened out with good show
ing of solid ore.
The Kane Adit workings have been
repaired, and more active opera
tions were commenced the Fl s. of
the week by the Onondaga Mn
ing company. Manager Ward
plans more extensive development
with view to getting the best
possible results.
A local ore market would have
a stimulating effect on production
in upper Clear Creek county, as
more properties would be operated
under the tribute system, the logi-
cal way to operate mines where the
streaks are small, ard of excep-
tionally high grade.
II is currently reported that a
number Of lessees have taken
blocks of ground in the old Dun
kirk, and expect to operate thru
the Ashby tunnel. A few years
ago his mine was among the big
producers, and it is confidently
expected that with systematic de-
velopment it will in the near fu-
ture be producing its quota of
high grade ore for which it had
been noted.

81 Ounces Gold and 2O7
Ounces Silver to the Ton

The above figures show the set
tlement sheet for lot of 6 tons
of ore shipped from the Fairfield
mine in Russell Gulch to the
smelters at Pueblo a week ago.
We were unable to get the amount
of copper in this ore. but presume
it carried q fair percent of that
metal, which would add to the to-
tai value, the gold and silver at
current prices footing up to 81 ,279
per ton. This mine crosses Rus
sell Gulch close to its head, in a
section where considerable rich
ore has been min ID from the many
claims located there, and has al
ways been noted for carrying high
grade ore, but no shipments are
of record as high as this one. The
mine is being worked by an east
ern company, with Mr.. Webb as
superintendent and Mr.. Reidl, of
Russell Gulch as mine manager.
Mr.. Webb is in the east at the
present time, and the above re-
turns will prove a most pleasant
surprise to that gentleman and
his company, and the indications
are that the company will push
development work and bring to
the surface many tons of equally
as rich mineral as the shipment
indicates.

Pleased Audience at
Meeting Last Sunday

With talk which calls for 9
return engagement, George w
Ulinger, president of the State
Sunday School association, ad.
dressed large and delighted and
fence at the Opera House last
Sunday afternoon. His topic was
Service. There were things in
the witty discourse to interest
every one in his own particular
duty, and Mr.. Olinger used words
SO simple and SO well chosen as to
be understood by a child.
The song program was carried
out as announced.
Frank w. Farmer had not been
heard here before. but his singing
was real treat. A. A. Sharts,
who has come here recently, has
many admirers, and his selections
were enjoyed The quartet, F. A.
Donithorne, L. S. Stewart, Ray
Coughlin and DIR. Weber sang
some pleasing numbers. Mrs.
Stewart, as always. accompanied
beautifully.
So genuine was the approval of
the meeting by people out of the
Sunday school as well as those
VINO are members, that Mrs. James
r. Sutherland, who invited Mr..
Olinger, says that another similar
meeting may be arranged lor some
future time.

The Congress gets the credit for
beng an extravagant body. but as
matter of fact the Congress, o
peclaily the House is the economi-
cal branch of the government and
is the branch that stands between
those who clamor for money and
those who pay the bills. 1t may
be interesting to mention that IN
twenty years before the great war
the House cut down the estimates
of the various departments and
saved the country $5OU,OUO,OUO
which was considered large IN its
day, but the record of the special
session Of the present Congress
wlll stand out as nota bic example
of money saving.
Duling the war the Congress
appropriated money literally at
the request of The President aud
the departments of the govern
ment. These figures are big and
some OF them interesting.
The total appropriations by
Congress from the Declaration of
Independence, l4l years down to
the beginning OF the World War
was $zo,bOO, ,ON.0OO.
The appropriations by Congress
during the war years 1919 to aud
including the present session total
$54.94O, ,564 sol A From this
sum should be deducted items re-
pealed Of $7.272.Ull, ,991.6S. This
leaves net total of war years APP
preparations of SAT ,668, 1852 .5U9.7o.
Before the war began the total
debt was trihe less than one bill
lion dollars.
Today the total debt is approx
mately S26, ,5OO.OOO,0U0.
Sums have been loaned to our
allies totaling about 81 .402, ,285. 900.
Before tie war began annual
appropriation ran about billion
dollars year. For some time in
the future tho interest on our debt
will be considerably over billion
dollars a year, and it is estimated
that it will require about four bill
lion dollars yea to pay interest,
build up a sinking fund and to
run the government.
So l think it can he readily seen
that the Congress for some years
to come will have quite job on
its hands to stand between those
who want Congress to appropriate
money for various functions of
government and those who pay the
taxes.

Fire Again Does Damage
at ChaS. CroSSOn'S Ranch

Probably as a result of an over
heated stove, fire broke out in a
building occupied by loggers on
Charley Crosson's ranch on Bear
creek Wednesday of last week and
did considerable damage.
The men were away from the
building at the time the fire broke
out and once the blaze got good
start nothing could be done to ex-
tinguish it. A motor truck valued
at $1,000 which was left standing
close to the building was totally
destroyed, and twenty fcui gallons
of gasoline added to the pyrotech-
nical display. One of the loggers
lost SIS in cash and at. least Sl5C
worth Of clothing, bedding ard
tools.
The building was some distance
from Mr.. Crosson s house but the
blaze had Charley greatly excited
and he feels that he has been hav
ing more than his share of fires.
