COLORADO TOURIST CAMPS
WILL EXCEL WITH LIGHT

4 movement is on foot in Colorado
to make the tourist camp grounds of
the state the lightest. brightest and
most attractive spots in the United
States. Instead of requiring visitors
who arrive at night to grope their un-
familiar way about the grounds in
search of wood. water and desirable
places to set up camp. it is the plan
to electrically light the whole camp
ground area.
Denver, which boasts the best-light-
ed in the nation. and Loveland. which
is a close competitor for this honor
have been the inspiration for other
towns who are striving to make thei;
tourist camps so attractive that the
visitors will want to tarry. 1t has
been determined that auto tourists
remain from two to ten days longer
in municipal camps that are well
lighted. well watered and which have
plentiful supplies Of wood.
The Electrical Cooperative League
OF Denver is now taking census Of
Colorado tourist camps. with a view
TO ascertaining how many of them
are electrically lighted by the towns
which support them.
There are el3 auto tourist camps
In the state and the more progres.
sive towns. where the value OF tour.
ist trade is appreciated. are making
strenuous efforts TO do everything
possible to attract visitors. In Love
land a number OF electric ranges have
been installed. Dozens OF desirable
individual camping sites are illumina-
ted with Individual electric lamps.

Mr.. Lucas. has the distinction of being
the only creature now alive that saw
the great Napoleon. who died more than

was when brought to st. Helena we do
not know, but. venerable AS 1t seems to
us with our allotted span Of threescore

seventy years, 50 that 1t Is pretty safe
to conclude that it is ut least one hun

That tortoise has been confounded
with another, which was brought TO
England In 1897. and which now is

AN UNSEEN PERIL,

Jesus and St. Paul were right in their state ments that Satan is the supreme ruler of this world influencing and controlling the minds of those who disregard Gods Word. The so- called talking with the dead is another frau dulent scheme of Satan and his allies to entrap the mighty men of earth, inducing them to be-
 lieve that they are being guided by super
 natural power. Russia rulers fell victims of these unseen powers through the mediumship of Rasputin. To his downfall, the Kaiser needed the ''inner voice." urging him to make war Standing upon the battlefield during one of the raging battles of the World War and seemingly speaking to some unseen being, the Kaiser is said to have cried out, "Who is re- sponsible for this terrible war;" Other mighty men are being misled. Be not deceived but arm yourself against the encroachment of de- mon power at this time of distress upon the nations Remember, Blessed is that nation whose God is Jehovah" In his new book Gan the Living Talk With the Dead" Judge Rutherford exposes the deceptions of spiritism.

THINK TRAIN R0BBER WAS
 SLAIN BY HIS OWN GANG
Murdered Man Was Brains of Most Daring Gun Men of
 West

Tulsa, Okla, Feb. 9.-Frank Hol- loway. ex-convict and known as a bank and train robber. whose body was found p shallow grave near here yesterday. was slain by members of his own gang, according to the theory advanced by authorities here today.
 Holloway was said by officials here to have been the brains of an organi- zation composed of the fastest step pers and most daring gun men" of the west.
 The story of Holloway's activities which red to his death. as told by local authorities, had its inception in New York. city. two years ago when more than sb00,O00 in Liberty bonds were taken in a daring robbery. The bonds later turned up in Tulsa, so the story goes, in the hands of Holloway and his band.
 Holloway's manipulations with the bonds are said by those who related the history of his brief career, to have led the members of his gang to be- ieve he had double crossed them.
 Yesterday Holloway's body was found in the hidden grave in the shadow of Pistol Hill. He had been ot twice through the head.

FREEMAN'S JOURNAL IS

Irish Newspaper Makes Strong Plea for Pcace--Wants Govern

Dublin, Feb. 9.--The Freeman's Journal, commenting upon the offer of amnesty to those who surrender their arms by February l3, says that 500 prisoners at Limerick have also asked flor the opportunity to press upon their leaders the futility of a war of extermination.
 They do not want Ireland to he turned into ashes and blood to use their own words. the newspaper says. It describes the new developments as Ia genuine effort for peace and con- tinues:
 !, Great hope will seize the heart of Ireland today. Fighting men are making a genuine effort for peace. Liam Deasy, under the sentence of death, has asked for time to attempt something for the future of Ire land -
 If Liam Deasy agreed to fight against the Irish peoples will and desires that they should now cease we may rest assured that it is be- cause he, as soldier, has taken the measure of the hopelessness of the situation. His peace overture is an act of genuine moral courage. The Limerick prisoners are unanim ously of the same mind."
 6 The article concludes as follows:
 Nobody will any longer have doubt as to where the responsibility rests for the continuance of the struggle Moreover the government will be given a perfectly free hand. They cannot again be indicted for measures necessary to put an end to the suicidal war. The man respon- sible for this war himself. invoked it by the horrid word 'extermina- tion.'"

NO STRIKE DISORDERS
Ludlow Mills Reopen But Five of the IT. Branches Arc Virtually m- operative.

Ludlow, Mass, Feb. 9.--The Lud- low Mfg. Associates opened the jute mills here in part today without re- newal of the disorders that marked q demonstration by strike synlpa- thizers in front of the main gates yesterday. Five of the II mills are virtually imperative as result of the strike between 40 and 50 carders.
 A large crowd gathered at the mill gates at z o'clock today made up in the main of persons who were anxious to go to work, but they were not admitted. Though the selectmen had asked for the assistance of the Springfield police no city officers were sent into the town but a squad was sent to watch developments in the Indian Orchard end of the ,ty near est to Ludlow where some of the Ludlow workers live. These officers would he instantly available in case of an outbreak. Few, if any, of the element that caused yesterdays clash with the police were on hand this morning.
 The strike of the carders has tied up the early processes of manufac- ture and so cut off the supply of material to about 1.7o0 workers en- gagged in subsequent operations.

FISHERMEN SUFFER
 IN WINTER MONTHS
Menace to People Along ths
 Newfoundland Coast

Curling. N. r., Feb, s,-fhe winter
 months. always period Of privation
 Tor the scattered population of the
 western shores of Newfoundland,
 loom this year as a terrible menace
 to the hardy fisherfalk of the Colony
 already has been called upon to re-
 lieve the hunger of the hamlets that
 dot the coast from Rome Bay north,
 due to the partial failure of the her'
 ring fisheries last fall. and the freez. ing in of the herring fleet before the
 fish could he taken 10 market,
 The first disaster to the herring
 ashermen was the falling of in the catch to less than half of last years pack. At Ray Of Islands. center of the herring industry on this coast inc pack for 1929 was only $500 as against 25,0oo barrels for 1891. This fact alone spelled a lean winter for inc fishermen. who depend on the money paid them by the packers to tide them over the iee-bonnd, non- productive season. But worse was to come.
 Soon after the first of December extreme cold set in. unprecedented for the season even in these icy lati. iudcs. The herring fleet. setting out to convey the herring back to the outside markets. was caught off guard and frozen in at Bay Of Island. The packers. with their seasons output on their hands. were unable 10 pay tho fishermen. The latter. in turn. iwerc unable 10 lay in their winter food supplies. To make tho situation appear worse. If worse could be pos slblc, the demand for herring ''on tho outside" has been stronger this could have been obtained from the pack had delivery been possible.
 The Newfoundland government. ap- pealed to for assistance when the menace was first seen, lost no time in responding. The steamer Sagona was sent from St. Johns and suc- ceeded in saving 100 of the 200 fleets of nets that had been frozen In. Of the remainder so fleets sank with tho weight of herring in them, and 50 more could not be reached. The Canadian government was ap- pealed to and the iccbreaker Stanley was sent Up to Bay of Islands, but she was too late. After a desperate effort to break through the ice l.r- Tier the Stanley gave up the task and steamed south.
 Seven schooners loaded with her ring are frozen solid in the ice, to remain until spring In their holds are thousands of barrels of cured fish, the fruit of seasons labor. Some of the pack is still on shore, but there is little possibility of get ting it transported to railroad for to market. Heavy snow- storms and bitter frost have tied up the Newfoundland Railway for long periods.
 Newfoundlanders, familiar with the tragic history of the shore fishermen, say that the west coast faces the darkest days in the annals of the colony The task of relieving the is rendered more difficult by the complete suspension of land and water transportation to their section by the heavy winter. Car goes of food supplies are piled up at this place and Port aux Basques, while coasting vessels have cancelled their sailings because of the ice bar ricr
