reverse the strength of the two

The Populists remain about the
same, only 10 members. In the Sem

the balance OF power. There will
probably be 40 Democrats in the
senate to Al Republicans and Pop
ulists.
There is a rush for lands in Che

Judge Stone and Judge Hetherington
discussed the possibilities of the mos

in case the crop in town were des-
troyed- II seemed 10 be the sentiment
Of the meeting that while there might
be some trouble from that source, il
would probably be slight as compared
with present conditions
Professor o. b. Staples told of the
relief obtained in Louisiana, particu-
larry in Shreveport and Baton Rouge
He was positive tina; oil is fatal TO
mosquito life, and that the problem
is practical. He also said that there
was some prejudice against Gunnison
as a summer school center because Of
the mosquito torment.
Mr. LindqUist recommended the
elimination of all open bitches, so that
all water users must use hose for ir-
rigation.
That is the reason towns like Ouray
do not have mosquitoes. and the town
would get greater revenue. Judge
Hetherington called attention TO num-
beriess towns situated close to alfalfa
fields and meadows, where there are
no open bitches and no mosquitoes, and
this would seem TO indicate that they
do not blow in TO any great extent.

Shaekleford, J. A. Steele, Judge
Shackleford. c. Z. Florer. President

unanimously adopted: That Profess
sor Goldsmith be placed in charge Of
the work of eradicating the mosquito
nuisance, and that the Mayor and
Town Council be requested to CO.
operate with him in carrying out such
plans as are suggested by him. The
meeting then adjourned.
This action was followed By the
meeting of the council last night
which body delegated proper author
ity TO Prof. Goldsmith and asks all
citizens to cooperate, and make one
strong effort to determine whether
We cannot get nd of this blight upon

they denied the charge, but upon
phoning DR.. Walker, and his confir-
nation of the sale of croton oil, they
broke down and confessed.
However, on being arraigned in
court next day, they pied not guilty
and denied the confession. The eff
forts of the defense are apparently to
show that they did not put any oil in
the punch bowl, but got it to put in a
bucket of punch that some other
naughty boys were planning to steal
from the dining room and did carry
to the club house.
