SACRAMENTO, Calf. May 9.
U.P)-The machinery OF legislation
ground swiftly and smoothly today
with the senate and assembly pass
ing a host of uncontested measures
originating in the opposite house.
The long series of roll calls, APP
proving a seemingly endless number
of bills, was in strong contrast to
the lengthy debates and notify dis

legislature during the preceding two
days.
Proponents of the $124,00U,0UO CO.
ordinated water program to con-
struct a huge irrigation, hydro-elec
trict power and a flood control pro-
iect in California were optimistic to-
day despite the fact that two bills,
one in the assembly and one in the
senate, to put the program into eff
feet, were killed yesterday because
their author did not call them from
the files.
They point out that they have an
I appropriation of $450,000 and au
thoritv to continue their study of
! the water problems of the senate for
! the next two years. At the next
| legislative session in 1881 they must
( present the result of their research,
which will be incorporated into
new bill.
The days remaining until adjourn
ment, scheduled for next Wednes-
day, will be a busy time for the leg
islators, but little controversy is ex-

Many Bills Passed
Bills considered by the assembly

hill one day and killed some of them and the non-union men did the same thing the next day"
 Railroad Still Used
 Those boom days were in the 15 or 20 years following 1880 when Otto Mears climaxed his wagon road building operations with the con- Struction of a narrow gauge railroad into the city. That railroad, now a branch of the Denver & Rio Grande Western, is still the principal outlet of the town.
 Before mining reached it's greatest decline, the city found another source of revenge in the newly de veloped farming gscountry opened up by the building of the railroad. The approach to Telluride is through far flung ranges and rich fields under cultivation and well irrigated. For many years the wealth of the town was evident in heaps of ore cars that stood beside cattle cars filled with fat range cattle on the sfdngs. It was in the period of extensive CdJiIe falSlnS III the sections Of southwestern Colorado close to Tel luride that C. D. Waggoncr organiz- ed the Norwood Cattle Loan com pany. one of the companies involved in his S50O.00O transaction with six New York banks
 Metal Prices Sink
 For time cattle raising held off the inevitable decay of mining as claims 'petered out" and the price of precious metal went steadily low CT. For many years StaunCh ucfen- ders of the mining industry sought to revive it and sank the funds in futile operations of worn out claims.

SLEEPY VILLAGE IS
 BANK CASE SCENE
''Boom Town" DeCaying When
 Wa6goner Made Coup

Telluride. Colo.,- Sept. 12 LP)-A sleeping mining town, languishng amid the decay of it's boom day glory and hemmed in by the rising heights of the San Juan range which once gave to the city great wealth and the romance that goes with it that is the home of C. D. Wag- goncr, president of the bank of Tel luride.
 Old residents here ara prone to compare the rise and decline of the town to the rise and downfall of it's most prominent banker. They see in Telluride's ascent 10 fanle and in her struggle to uphold bold, if false, front when mining declined, m analogy in the story of the small town banker who says he sought by duping nationally known banks to protect his depositors, many of them his staunch friends of a lifetime.
 Knows People Well
 The mOuntaincers are clannish people. Waggoner worked for them 3o odd years, first as mere clerk in he bank, then as his fortunes grew with the prosperity of the town. as president of the foremost bank and first citzen," despite the charges against him, he still apparently re- tains some of his prestige.
 Regardless of its decay, Telluride is the foremost beauty spot in Col orado. The town lies in valley as level as a floor, but on either side the San Juans rise 10 commanding heights. They are composed of hori- HOntal strata of red sandstone and in some places white and almost black limestone. Heavily timbered slopes add a touch of green to the lower levels.
 At the head of the principal street is a filmy waterfall of surpassing beauty that leaps from a cleft in the mountains with a soothing rumble that is always heard in the citys streets.
 Telluride proper dates back to 1S7S. On July 13 of that year ,he entire population of the town met on tho outskirts of the toWnsitc for an election. There were 2S votes east unanimously for q resolution pre- posing an incorporation of the town of Telluride, formerly known as thc settlement of Columbia. George N. Hyde was elected the first mayor.
 PrOsn1rcd by Mining
 Through mining the town pros pcrcd. Rough and ready "hard rock" miners Hooked to it. As early as 1875 placer mining had been car riod in in sporadic fashion on a little stream, tho san IigucL which fring2s thme town. The river was named by Spanish monks who tra- Ncrscd the San Juan country long before the migration from the east.
 Placer operations vanished with inc discovery Of rich deposits of quartz. Huge mining companies were formed and fabulous wealth came to many of the early operators. Today there still remain remnants of these operations in tho momOuS Tom Boy. Great Union Smuggl"r and Liberty Boll mines some mining is still car ricd on and the old timers look for ward to revival of mining that has often failed to matcriaizc.

MCAVoy's trip to Denver was the result of information found in a notebook contained in Waggoner's s clothing when he was arrested. AL though refusing to be quoted, the county attorney indicated his infor- nation implicated some Denver per sons in Waggoner's deal.
 Revealing some of the details Of his scheme, Waggoner said his only motive in the manipulation was Q protect the depositors of the bank of Telluride. After depositing a $500,000 certified check in the Chase National bank of New York, he drew a certified check for $27O. GOO on the bank with which he paid off four notes at the Central Hanover bank of New York. Two other notes, similar obligations, were for S50,00O each. and tn {, fourth was personal obligation of $15,000.

anti Amcricanism appeared every
where to be at low cbb. These pco-
pies are confident OF Hoover's good IN

his visit. Young men and women IN
| the cities long ago began TO pick up
American and European styles. The
girls who can afford them, however,
say they can get their dresses much
cheaper in Paris than from New York.
The native ladies, OF course, favor
calico, with occasional priced best"
dresses of rayon or silk. The Well-to-
do men get their suits from England.
British woolens are much cheaper
than any that can be had from the
states.
Wines and liquors come from
France and England. The natives
make their own, but the product is
Stunned by the proprietary class.
Like Sentimental Movies
American movies compete success
fully with the French, German and
Italian films, but Italian pictures
are favoriteS also because the pro-
ducers cram so much sentiment into
them. Opera is the other favorite
amusement and Nicaraguans still
retain the waltz and tango. despite
acceptance OF American jazz and
dance steps. Radio sets have just be-
gun to come in. most of them being in
clubs. There is no large immediate
field for their sale because Of lack Of
broadcasting facilities and inability of
the masses to buy the expensive sets
now necessary.
But the market for American ma
chinery Is on the rise, especially agri-
cultural machinery. Also for steel
and cement for new two and three
story buildings. The cities, one Is adj
vised. are just beginning to adopt
modern merchandising methods. But
few of the shop windows in one or
two of the larger centers are demon
strative of the upland coming urge
which seems to grip Nicaragua. Ample
evidence of increased confidence in
the nations stability is given by the
decline in interest rates. Once up to
Is and IL per cent, they are now down
as low as 10 per cent, or even less. The
same increased stability of the coun-
try probably presages an increase in
American investments, which are now
found in Nicaragua's fruit industries,
mining, railroad system and banking.
