DENVER. Nov. 13-tP-Extreme
cold and heavy SHOWS in the last
few days in the Rocky Mountain
region caused one death, aroused
fears for safety OF several persons
and gave rise to apprehension for
the sugar beet harvest.
The lowest temperature reported
was in Gallatin Canyon near Boze-
man. Montana, where the thermom-
eter registered 20 degrees below
zero. "A five-inch snow fall accom-
panied the cold. Temperatures gen
orally in Colorado, Wyoming and
Montana were only slightly above
zero.
Alfred Saiazar, II. was the only
victim Of the storm SO far as known.
He and two companions set out to
gather wood in the Sangre De Girls
co Range, Southwest Of Pueblo,
Colo. A sudden snow storm caused
their team of horses to break away
leaving the youths to walk their way
to shelter. Salazar died In the arms
of one Of his companions.
Sugar company officials said
there would not be serious loss as
nearly the entire crop had been
harvested. The crop. however. is
likely to be short of expectations.

There is often lot Of good common sense
and justice, plus judgment, back of the fool
nonsense Will Rogers slips to the public. A lot
of Wills stuff is just plain slush, written to
sell (which it doesD but once in while he rings
the bell. For instance the other day he named
a few of the things we expect Mr.. Hoover to
settle mot later than Saturday," and his pre-
sentation of the subject makes us Americans
and our unreasonable demands look pretty stupid.
Here are those demands as Will said sem:
Farm relief-Now we have never
had farm relief in all our history but
we look to him for it.
Prohibition aforementioned had
it since it was established, but we expect
it from him.
Prosperity-Millions never had it
under Coolidge, never had it under any
body, but expect it under Hoover. And
women think he will wash their dishes
and look after their babies.
Nothing short of heaven will we
accept under Hoover.

Is the most difficult one which en-
