pany against the assessor and trea-
surer Of Weld county to an end

the findings in which he held that
the motion for dismissal OF the suit
made by County Attorney Walter
E. Bliss. should be sustained. The
Judge stated. however. he would not
Immediately dismiss the suit. He
gave the railnoad attorney 10 days
in which to file brief showing why
the suit should not be dismissed.
After this is flled. County Attorney
Bliss will be given ten days in which
to make reply.
The court held that a reservation
Of coal from a land title is an inter-
est in the land and as such is tax
able property, The judge also held
that the evidence showed that coal
reserves taxed In this county have a
substantial value The findings fur

Is not an equalization h0dy but
merely has the right to determine
whether the county assessor has
done an illegal act or made fraud

that County Assessor Hanna had
neither done an illegal act nor made
fraudulent assessments, but, rather
that he had based his assessments on
investigation and determination OF

mittee members, upholstered with
hundreds Of thousands Of roubles, was
forced to sleep on the root Of the car
IN a temperature near zero. Within a
week the railway service was stopped
BY Armenian Tartar fighting.
The uprising Of the Nakhlchevan
Tartars was III timed. German propa-
gandists had placarded the district
with posters exhorting these Tartars,
who are related to the Turks and are
Of the same religion, to arise against
the Armenians, whom the retreating
Russians had left to their own de-
vices. This they did. But the Ar.
menians had spent the winter In rails
ing an army to take over the former
Russian front and about 25,0O0 Of
these volunteers were assembled In
Erivan.
When the writer crossed the Igdir
plain. where Armenians are starving
today, these much prosecuted people
were having their inning and the

Etar villages could be seen. Tartars
with arms were allowed to live II
they surrendered their guns, and
women and children were not touched,
but their villages were looted and
burned by the Armenians. This was
IN March, 1919. All the Tartars re
treated to the Nakhichevan district
where they formed a majority Of the
population. There they have re.
malned. Hatred between them and
the Armenians Is strong.
The whole problem Is made difiicult
by the diversity Of the population. In
the mountain villages the Kurds are
most numerous. A strong hand will
be necessary to control these several
tribes. The Kurds have been forced
to be butchers by the Turks, who gave
them guns as their only tools, and
who kept agriculture and education
from them. Their condition was as
bad for time as that Of the Arme.
mans. and along the Turko-RussIan
boundary scores Of Kurds were to be
seen with only one garment and bare.

DAVIS and kNAUS \.
WIN the HONORs

Contrary to the fond expectation
Of the opposition, the Republican
majority Of the state Legislature did
not encounter the grave difncultiss
taht had been fairly predicted to
mark the opening Of Colorado's
twenty-third general assembly. A
number of strong candidates for the
presiding positions had Appeared,
and the elimination Of some Of tAsm
seemed as though It might prove 1
formidable task for the majority
party. II
Republican mtmbers Of both
houses held their caucuses Monday,
and 1t very shortly became evident
that the party was not in the mood
to trihe with matters that might d.
lay getting down to the real legis-
latiye grind. Senator Frank Knaus

selection for president pro tenn Of
the Stnate, and Representative Roy
A, Davis Of Colorado Springs was
the choice Of the house caucus for
Speaker.
At the first sessions, held yes-
terday noon, these choices were for
mally ratified, and the organization
Of both houses Is now an accom-
plished fact. The parceling out Of
the committee chairmanships then
proceeded along lines previously out
lined by the caucuses, as did also
the distribution of the party patro-
mage. The distribution Of the for
ty-seven Jobs the lower house has

YEAR PASSES OUT
WITH 4 SIGH

The last day OF the year dawnef
as beautiful as could be asked, but
before noon the zephyrs sprang up
with a leap and a bound, that SEEM

old year out and the new one In with
in the SAGE OF about fifteen minutes.
But about fifteen hours were spent
at the job with wind velocity that
reminded very vividly Of the perfor-
nance Of last Spring. which resulted
SO dlsastrously to spring crops in
this section. Everything that was
not securely anchored started
promptly in the direction Of Logan
County. The storm did not contin-
ue long enough to do material dam
age to winter wheat In most cases,
but on many farms. stacks Of feed
were blown down and scattered, and
the damage will be considerable.
Smaller buildings suffered, and we
learned OF one case where thresh-
ing machine standing broadside to
the wind was tipped over. Fortu-
nately the wind came with a clear
sky and moderate temperature. II
the weather had been cold. or II
snow had fallen It would have been
almost beyond human endurance and
there would doubtless have been Sc
we're suffering among stock.
In town, none suffered material
loss as far as we have learned, ex-
cept the Raymer Hardware Co. One
Of their large plate glass windows
was broken and a numebr OF cement
blocks were blown of the front wall
The damage probably amounts to
about hundred dollars, including
some stock that was on display in
the window. LOSS is not cover
de by Insurance.
Later reports coming In indicate
that the storm must have been more
severe to the north of here. A half
dozen or more windmills we're blown
down, and 1t Is said that the build
ings on the q. d. Seldin place were
blown to pieces and scattered over
and across the road. On Joe Meyers
