ten.

tion under existing laws.

constitution and to regard as sacred
the power of the states. Mr. Taft,

Doubling Power for Northern Colorado
j Greeley.—ln order to accommodate
the greatly increased electric current
which will pass through the Greeley
station when the big loop covering
northern Colorado is completed, the
Northerh Colorado Power company is
doubling the capacity of Its local sub
station. The main power plant is lo
cated at Lafayette.
Breckenridge Wants Train Service.
Denver.—Delegations from Brecken
ridge have been waiting upon Vice
President A. D. Parker of the Colorado
A Southern in efforts to ascertain the
<4 \nces of their city for receiving a
continuance of the train service which
| has been for years and Is now being
given by the Colorado & Southern rail
road.
| It is the intention of the railroad
I company to discontinue the operation
of trains over Boreas pass, the highest
In the state, during the winter mouths,
and so far the railroad company re
mains unmoved from Its resolve.
Breckenridge people, according to
present plans, must go to Leadville
and come to Denver over the Colorado
Midland or the Denver & Rio Grande.
Denver Northern Nearly Completed.
Greeley.—The Denver northern line,
the new one running west across the
river from and passing
through Dacono, Frederick and Fire
stone in the midst of the valuable coal
fields, will be completed by October 1.
It is but four miles longer than the
main track now used. This new line
practically makes a double track from
LaSalle to Denver. All Union Pacific
trains going west from Denver have
the right of way, so the through pas
sengers and freights west-bound will
probably be kept on the main track
now In use, while the through trains
east-bound, which do not stop between
I.aSalle and Denver, will be diverted
to the west track.
U. P. Will Occupy Pullman Bhops.
Denver.—Orders have been received
at the Pullman shops to hasten the
work of packing the machinery and
supplies which are to be removed from
this city to Richmond. Cal., where the
western shops of the company will be
located in the future.
Efforts of the Chamber of Commerce
and citizens of Denver to induce the
company to continue to maintain its
shops in this city have proved futile,
apparently, although pressure will be
brought to bear upon the Pullman peo
ple to have some sort of representa
tive establishment In this city. The
Union Pacific Railroad company will
occupy the chops abandoned by the
Pullman company, which are ownea
by the former, with a force of men
equally large. The railroad company
has for two years needed Its shops,
and will bring a big crew of men here
to keep Its rolling stock and motive
power in shape to handle its constant
ly increasing business.
C. A 8. and C. B. A Q. Joined.
Greeley.—The connecting of the
Colorado & Southern tracks here with
the new line of the Burlington, recent
ly completed through Greeley, marked
the beginning of activity which will
continue In Burlington building until
Greeley Is in the main line from
Cheyenne via Hudson to Denver.
Within a few days the Burlington Is
to begin constructing its line from
Greeley through Hudson, the five
miles between Timnath and Plunder
will be built and a long contemplated
line from Wellington north to Chey
enne, twenty-five miles, will be start
ed. This means the building of about
fifty miles of railway and a big force
will hurry Its completion.
The D., L. & N. W. company has
strated its extension from Greeley
northwest to Severance.
Branch lines of the Union Pacific
costing $1,000,000 are completed in the
country north and northeast of here
and extension of these lines is contem
plated at an early date.
Vincent’s Prominent Backers.
A message has been received from
Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas that he
will stump the state for Merle D. Vin
cent, candidate for’ governor of Colo
rado. Senator Bristow is one of the
dyed-in-the-wool insurgents of the
country. It is claimed that word has
also been received by Mr. Vincent that
Francis J. Heney of San Francisco, the
prosecutor who got after the grafters
In the San Francisco municipal gov
ernment, will take the stump for him.
Richest Men in Colorado.
Colorado Springs.—J. R. McKinnle
and R. P. Davie of this city are owners
of the greatest oil well In the world
and the richest men in this state, ac
cording to opinions expressed by
Standard Oil Company experts who
have examined the big well of the
Consolidated Company near Bakers
field, Cal. Repeated testß by experts
indicate that it is under perfect control
and has a capacity of 3,000 barrels of
oil an hour. This, it 50 cents a barrel,
will produce a net revenue of between
$13,000,000 and $15,000,000 annually.
COLORADO
LEGISLATIVE
DOINGS
Judge Lewis’ Criticism.
In his order forbidding the Issue of
bonds If so voted, Judge Lewis pays
his respects to the recent action of
the Legislature as follows:
“By that constitution they gave to
Congress the sole power of legislation.
By the constitutions of the several
states they gave to their House of Rep
resentatives and their Senate the sole
and exclusive power of legislation.
They said on all of those constitutions
that they were the supreme law of the
land, the supreme law of the state. No
man has a right to complain if the
people in lawful ways abolish those
constitutions and take back to them
selves, by establishing a pure democ
racy—not a constitutional democracy
which now exists—the exclusive pow
er of legislation and all the powers of
the governmenL
"But the alarming situation is that
men who understand all of these prin
ciples of government, will acquiesce In
overriding the constitution, not In abol
ishing it, not first setting it aside and
taking back to themselves these pow
ers but while those constitutions are
in force, which they have said are the
supreme law of tho land and which
they bind the courts by solemn oath
to enforce, they seek to override con
stantly. So we have, here in Colorado,
or will have shortly, in defiance of
your constitution, by which you said:
‘The sole power of legislation shall be
vested in a Senate and House of Rep
resentatives,’ a legislative act which
will so far curtail that power that
nothing but the shadow of It Is left
with those bodies, and in the fact of
it, and in the face of your supreme
law by which you said the Senate and
House of Representatives should have
that power, you, it seems to me, say,
‘We have it.’ I say I view these mat
ters wun alarm, because It is a rev
olution against which I have no right
roninlain, but an unlawful revolu
tion until those constitutions are
abolished or changed and modified.”
Bombshell from Helblg.
The House of Representatives, hav
ing passed the headless ballot bill on
second reading Thursday, Indulged In
a discussion in the committee of the
whole of the anti-pass bill of Repre
sentative Helblg of Denver, with the
result that there is more excitement
in that body than has been seen since
the session opened.
There are a great many members op
posed to the anti-pass bill. Conse
quently, when Helblg replied to a mo
tion to strike the enacting clause by
saying that he would challenge the
vote of every member against the
measure who carried an annual rail
road pass In his pocket, he threw a
bombshell Into the assembly.
Helblg announced that he would
make his challenges on Section 43 of
Article V, of the state constitution,
which provides that no member Inter
ested In any measure before the Legis
lature shall vote upon that measure.
Every member carrying a pass, he
said, came under this provision, and a
number of them have admitted during
debate that they carry annuals.
Even Barela Votaa Favorably.
It was well known that two or three
of the Republicans would not vote for
the Initiative and referendum bill
and In this list Barela’s name
had led all the resL Naturally, the
Senate was startled to hear him an
nounce that he would vote for the
measure.
“I will do so,” he said, “because I
am willing that it should be submitted
to the people. I don’t believe In the
principle, but I am ready to let the
people vote on the constitutional
amendment, and I promise that In my
district there will be a big majority
against 1L”
By attaching the emergency clause
to the initiative and referendum bill,
the Senate made It possible to submit
the constitutional amendment to the
people at the approaching election, so
that two years hence the people can
initiate and refer the measures they
demand. Included in the bill is a pro
vision which will give all cities and
towns the right to the Initiative and
referendum In their local affairs, as
soon as the people adopt the amend
ment at the polls. The bill, therefore,
establishes the people’s rule not only
in state-wide affairs but in the affairs
of the political units within the state.
When Gov. Shafroth heard the news
he immediately sat down and penned
a letter to W’illiam Jennings Bryan,
telling all about the famous fight and
victory. The governor felt that the
passage of the bill was an all-sufficient
vindication of the extra session. “This
victory alone pays ten times over the
cost of the extra session thuß far," he
said.
The platform Democrats and the
progressive Republicans are still con
fident of ultimate victory, and are
working like beavers.
Notes.
The Republican senators who voteJ
for initiative and referendum have not
evidenced any desire to Join the dis
contented among the machine men
who fear that a primary bill will be
the next move. And without them the
Senate will not adjourn.
Platform Democrats are hopeful of
a direct primary law without the con
vention feature and are urging that
the Democratic caucus take it up next.
If not the primary, the bank bill will
come up.
The movement for an adjournment
this week has not gained headway.
From every indication, however,
the Legislature will be In session until
after the state convention is held.
The House adjourned last Saturday
until Tuesday morning, and only a
short session Monday morning was
held by the senators. As Labor day,
Is is a legal holiday.
Senators Thomas J. McCue and
John Tobin did not take up the rail
road bill, which was left to them for
amending, but reported it to the Demo
cratic caucus Sunday.

Shrewd Scheme Stopped Run.
Mann years ago. In consequence of
a commercial panic, there was a severe
run on a bank In South Wales, and
the small farmers Jostled each other
In crowds to draw out their money.
Things were rapidly going from bad
to worse, when tho bank manager, in
a fit of desperation, suddenly be
thought him of an expedient. By his
directions a clerk, having heated some
sovereigns In a frying-pan, paid thorn
over the counter to an anxious appli
canL “Why. they’re quite hot!” said
the latter as he took them up. “Of
course.” was the reply: "what else
could you expect? They are only Just
out of the mold. We are coining them
by hundreds as fast as we can.”
"Coining them!” thought the simple
agriculturists; “then there is no fear
of the money running short!" With
this their confidence revived, the pan
ic abated, and the bank was enabled
to weather the storm.
