LEGISLATURE PASSES THREE
BILLS SPECIAL INTEREST TO
PAPERS REGARDING NOTICES

The state legislature has passed and
the governor has signed three bills
which are of special interest to news
papers and also to other interests, es-
pecially the attorneys.
The first one Is to repeal q law pass
ed two years ago which made it neces-
sary that legal notices be published in
the newspaper nearest TO the point in
question in the legal notice. For in
stance, il q sheriff's sale Is to be held
on property which is located approx
mately half way between Gunnison and
Crested Butte, il was necessary for
some one to ascertain exactly the dis
lance from the property to both places
SO that il could be determined whether
the legal notice should be published in
the Gunnison papers or the Crested
Butte paper, according to the statute,
which has been in force during the last
two years.
The new statute repeats the former
embarrassing statute and it will not
longer be necessary for attorneys 70
have surveys made in order to deter
mine which is the nearest newspaper.
The legal notice can be published in
any newspaper in a county.
The second important statute is one
providing that whenever the law re-
quires the insertion Of legal notice
for number Of times, it can be pub
lished in q daily newspaper without
the necessity Of being included in each
daily issue turnout the period required
for publication.

CORPUS CHRISTI SEA BREEZE
COOLEST ON TEXAS COAST

The sea breeze at Corpus Christi,
Tex, attains unusually high velocities,
II has been found by the representa-
tive Of the Weather Bureau, United
States Department Of Agriculture, at
that point. In marked contrast to
some Of the southern sea coasts, where
stagnant conditions are frequent, ut
Corpus Christi the breeze becomes o
fresh strong southeast wind in the
afternoons, blowing 20 TO 80 miles or
more m hour, and sometime continu-
ing all night. Debilitating calms are
relatively few on the Corpus Christi
coast, while the high-wind movement
prevents the dampness and sultriness
so dreaded in other subtropical regions.
The cause Of this unusual sea breeze,
which Is the swiftest and steadiest on
the Texas coast il explained by tho
Weather Bureau rs due TO the topo-
graphy Of the hinterland Of Corpus
Christi and the contour Of the coast
line ut this point. Barren plains, de-
void Of marshes rise gradually behind
Corpus Christi Bay, extending inland
for 80 miles. The curve in the coast
line at Corpus Christi allows the pre-
dominating southeast wind to strike
the shore at such an angle that it
meets with virtually no resistance
from . land surface before reaching
the coast. It therefore comes over
Corpus Christi with practically the
same velocity it has ON tho open ocean.
The heated air Of the plain back Of
Corpus Christi tends continually to
rise, and the cooler sea mir flowing in
creates . continuous breeze. Although
the increased sea breeze causes DIM
mutton in the rainfall, it has its COM
pensating features in the fact that
more comfortable climate il created.

Through Wyoming went not

the Bible itself gives proof of it's own teachings by the mouth of two or three witnesses (Matt. 1S:16), we transcribe herewith four passages which directly and explicitly affirm the non-resurrection of the people to whom the statements are made:
 "1. And they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more (Ezek. 2S:19).
 "2. The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall re- main in the congregation of the dead.' (Prov. 21:16).
 "3. They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou made all their memory to perish.' Isa. 26:14.
 A. And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her cap tains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the king, whose name is the Lord of hosts. (Jer. 51:57).

FREIGHT STORAGE
 IS BIG PROBLEM
Railroad Conference at Hartford
 Brings Out This Fact

Hartford, Feb. 9.-The storage and handling of freight in terminals is one of the biggest items of loss the New England railroads face, said w. H. Lyford, vice president of the Chi cago and Eastern Illinois railroad in an address before the joint New Eng land railroad committee at the state library today. The remedy for this, according to Mir. Lyford, is the or ganized collection and delivery by a single company of the freight carried by all the railroads entering city.
 Mir. Lyford presented figures shGy- ing that incoming freight on the average, remains in station for three days before it is delivered. During this time, he said, it is talk ing up valuable storage space either in the station or on the tracks and requiring the labor of considerable force of men. MT. Lyford would by immediate and organized delivery, eliminate as much of this loss as pos sible. In New England, he said, this loss is perhaps even larger than else where. This deplorable condition" Mir. Lyford declared, "is largely due to the present competitive way of managing railroads,
 He declared, however, that he did not think the New England terminal problem could be solved until the problems of the country as a whole are settled.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb. 9.-Gen. Sir Henry Worth Thornton, president of the Canadian National Guard Trunk railways, paid tribute to the splendid work of American railroad men in France during the World War, at the annual banquet of the Pittsburgh Traffic club last night.
 "The people of the United States know little" he said, "the debt they owe to the genous of their railway officers who perfected and adminis- tered the wonderful American trans- portation in France. The Americas people may indeed be very proud of their fellow citizens who went over- seas in the railway service"
