BOULDER, COLO.-Many a visitor
p to Rocky Mountain National PARK
has delightful memories of his trip
into that most popular of all the ma
tion's public Fairgrounds by way OF
the Denver, Boulder & Western rail-
road. This road was so picturesque
that it was called '"The Switzerland
Trail" Visitors got on at Boulder
and got off at Ward. 1t was climb,
climb. climb every foot Of the way,
for Ward is 9,269 feet up in the air.
The road was as crooked as the horn
of a Rocky Mountain sheep and often
the passenger could look down direct
ly upon the way he had come. And,
of course, there were all sorts OF won
derful vistass
From Ward the visitor went by au-
tomobile stage to Estes park via Al

Well, in 1919. the Colorado state
public utilities commission gave the
road leave to abandon service, because

No Wonder Seattle Looks Down on Reno

the firsA eleven months Of last year.
But Washington granted 2,4SO. or II
a day, during the same period Ener-
gy. enterprise and ambition have won
deserved pre-eminence.
Washington seems to have courfed
the success that has come to her. She
has the most attractive divorce laws
in the country. All that you have to
do h to express wish to be divorced
from your husband or your wife, as
the case may be, and the decree Is
made absolute on the spot. Almost
any reason will do If the judge has
fellow-feeling for you and wants to
help and not hinder, to boost and not
knock. All the statutory causes for
divorce have been swept away in
Washington, where they have what
they call a blanket proviso by which
the Judge may accept any reason that
happens to look good to him.
It is true that there Is residence
clause in the Washington law by
which an applicant must live in the
state for one year before he can ap-
ply for a divorce, but the law can
easily be circumvented by becoming
the nominal tenant Of dwelling and
then going wherever you wish until
the year has expired.

What Are You Doing in Siberia, Japan?

confidence that Japan will do every
thing necessary to prevent repeti-
ton of the vladivostok tragedy and to
make amends. including indemnity for
the Staying Of Lieut.. Langdon.
The department accepts in good faith
all the expressions of regret made by
the japanese government.
The American note is said to OBJ
serve in no uncertain terms that the
United States regards as unjustifiaDle
the challenging of American officers In
Vladivostok by japanese soldiers. The
note does not go so far as to demand
withdrawal of the japanese from 81
IBERIA, but it invites declaration by
the japanese government Of its reas-
ons for maintaining its military forces
on Russian territory.
It is expected that the court martial
| ordered for the Japanese sentry VINO
shot Lieutenant Langdon will be ex-
| pedited, and that the soldier Will De

| The extent to which the japanese
government is going in its occupation
of Siberian territory is shown by ad'
vices received concerning Gen. OF,
commanding the Japanese expedition
