IS THE NEGRO DYING OUT? NOT SO MUCH TUBERCULOSIS. BLACKS INCREASE. GOVERNOR DENEEN ADVICE. VOL. XVI. SOME F A PROBABLE RACE WAR OUT? NOT SO MUCH TU INCREASE. GOVERN This world gets full of wild alarms. About every so often some fellow has a dream. The Colorado Statesman never supposed a sane white man had mental fits. Years ago, over in sunny Kansas, a distinguished Negro dreamed of the time when all the dark races would unite and the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" cursing the Negro would be dissipated in South American emigration. Now comes the usually hard-headed, sensible editor of the Denver Times dreaming in his editorial chair, seeing the dismal ending of the white race in a possible war of extermination waged by the united dark races. He sees in the recent Russo-Japanese scrap the beginning of a dark confederacy. While such a thing is possible, it is not immediately probable. That the Mongolian and Malay races of Asia will oppose the present dominance of the white man in the far East no one will question. Each day's development shows that England's days in Hindustan are nearing an end and the influence of the powers in China is waning. But the Negro, who is marked as one of the strong elements in the coming struggle, is learning the ways of civilization in America. He is becoming more and more each year a true American citizen, loving his country and always ready to defend it. The probable early decay of the white man will be due to the ravages of immorality, such as has ruined the manhood of France. The Negro is not bothered by the lurid dream and alarms of decays. He is laboring each day that tomorrow may bring forth more and better fruit. NEGRO DEATH RATE HIGH A distinguished Southerner, writing in one of our popular magazines, sees another alarm in the high death rate among Negroes. He figures that before many years has passed the American Negro will be gone. He points out that in "the good old (?) slavery days the masters took care of their Negroes, gave them warm and substantial houses, plenty of good, wholesome food and clothing to protect them from the weather." The old masters gave particular attention to the location of the plantation quar- ters that they were free absolutely from the taints and odors of disease. In those days tuberculosis and kindred diseases were unknown among our people. Now that the Negro is free, he provides for himself and falls a ready victim to such diseases. That the census reports show that four in ten Negro babies die. This is really a dismal picture. The census report shows that 4,000,000 Negroes were freed by emancipation, and the last report shows nearly 10,000,000 of Negroes in America with practically no immigration. The census of 1910 will show a big increase. This increase comes in the face of discouraging reports and conditions. We lived back in Virginia before the war and we are inclined to believe that much of the gentleman's views on the marked interest of old masters in the comfort and care of the slaves to be all moonshine. It is noticeable that many white people, especially insurance companies, are quick to refuse Negro risks on account of the probable presence of tuberculosis somewhere in the family. A long residence in the West, where everybody comes for health, convinces us that the white man has all the tuberculosis. Go where you will throughout this state, New Mexico and Arizona, and the white lunger is thick. Very few Negroes are seen. Nothing like a reasonable proportion of the Negroes in the West are tainted with the white plague. However, we do not say this because we feel that our people do not need lessons in hygiene and sanitation. For they do. The great mass of our people need training and teaching along these lines. But the false alarm raised by the Southern gentleman may harmonize with census reports and not with the results seen about us each day. The Negro is rising. Each day finds him more capable and intelligent. Just let him alone and give him a man's chance and he will win out despite death and prejudice. WORDS OF CHEER In a speech to the Negro Business league of Chicago a short time ago, Governor Deneen of Illinois advised them to go on farms and learn trades. It seems that the DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House onizing The ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, echo of his remarks were heard in Colorado. Last week five colored men filed on three 160-acre homesteads, a total of 1,800 acres of splendid farm land added to the holdings of the Negroes of Colorado. This kind of conduct is solving the race problem in all its parts. Colorado is rapidly becoming one of the great agricultural states of the union. The hay crop this year will surpass the output of the mines. The fruit of the Western slope and the potatoes of Greeley are making the state famous. Take the cheering words of Governor Deneen and come to Colorado, where plenty of work and splendid farms are ready. NEGRO BANK FOR THE FALLS CITY Louisville, Ky., Sept. 15, 1909. In spite of the persistent denial made from different quarters, it is a fact brought out by a strong chain of evidence which has been gathered that the Negroes of this city are soon to have a bank of their own. The news will be hailed with delight and much joy by the Nergoes in the various parts of the Blue Grass State, who look upon Louisville as the logical beginner of the moulding of new sentiment tending toward the development of the race and the one that should take the initiative in any step in the great state of Kentucky. While Louisville is not the capital, it is the metropolis and is so cosmopolitan in every respect that seldom is it looked upon as other than a great Northern or Eastern center. The establishment of a Negro bank is causing no little discussion, as the plans are in an embryonic state. The astonishing fact that was brought out is that the entire scheme is said to be engineered by a woman of the race, one of national reputation, and who stands high in the business circles of Kentucky's metropolis, and who commands much attention in fraternal. It is said that this woman can command the cash of state and national organizations in this financial undertaking. BLACKENED HIS FACE AND MADE ESCAPE After escaping from an officer, disguised as a colored man, Frederick W. Slingerland, proprietor of a hotel in Asbury Park, was arrested at his home, No. 163 West Forty-seventh street, New York, and is now held under a $2,000 bond. Singerland is accused by Christopher Branigan, owner of the Kearney, N. J., press, with alienating the affections of Mrs. Branigan. On September 4, a deputy sheriff from Hackensack served him with papers in a suit for $25,-000. Slingerland asked permission to step into the hotel for a moment. Shortly afterward the deputy sheriff noticed what he thought was a colored man leaving. An investigation disclosed that Slingerland had disappeared, and the sheiff's deputy contends that he escaped after covering his face with burnt cork. Philadelphia Tribune. THE NEGRO'S HOME Wherever the stars and stripes floats in the United States or the insular possessions of the United States there "is the place for the Negro," providing he is satisfied with the conditions and environments thereabouts. The American black man is of the same flesh and blood as the American white man and wherever the latter can reside and prosper there is no reason why the Negro cannot do likewise. To prescribe the black man to live in any particular section of this country is saying that he is not a free citizen and for the black man himself to submit to any such prescriptions he admits that he is not capable of making a living only among black folks. The Negro should so educate himself that he will be able to take his place among the most learned whites and make good and if he does not he will go down whether in the South, North, East or West. Of course there is more prejudice against him in purely white communities than in purely black ones but a great deal of it is due to the fact, the black man poorly prepares himself for the battles of life and is not able to cope with his white brother. The really meritorious man whether black or white will prosper whether he is in a white or a black community. Thousands of black folks could find employment in the Northwest and other sections north of the Mason and Dixon line, for which they could get from ten to twenty times more wages than for the same kind of employment in the south and they could take that money and purchase real estate. The south is a dead one and the black man should not be willing to tie himself down to a dead community, which is not only a hundred years behind the times, but shows no signs of improving.—Seattle Republican. In the National Baptist Convention at Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 22, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of Washington, D. C. made a statement in which she charged the citizens of Columbus with gouging the delegates, overcharging them for the accommodations provided. RACE NEWS Dick Cain, a white prisoner while being taken from Linden to Bowie Co. Texas jumped from a car winbow of a moving passenger coach on the T. & P. railroad near Springfield, Texas. In the fall from the train the man's neck was broken. Cain was charged with killing a Negro. Burlington, Ia., Sept. 18.—Officer Ellis Countryman, while patrolling his beat in the depot district accosted a strange Negro asking him what he was doing. Instantly the fellow pulled a revolver and shot Countryman twice in the head, one bullet going through the officer's mouth. Countryman will die. The Negro escaped. license to marry Kate a white widow, seven years old.

Before two reserve forces of policemen could reach the victim he had been seriously injured. The riot stated over a report that Watkins had tried to sell the body of his wife, who died yesterday, for $10. Texarkana, Ark., Sept. 16.—At Linden, Cass county, Texas, yesterday Henry Pace a white man whose home is in Texarkana was convicted on a charge of killing Felix Grundy a Negro, and was given a term of 50 years in the penitentiary. The trial occupied four days and was stubbornly contested by a strong array of lawyers on both sides. A letter from Grand Exalted Ruler James E. Mills brings the splendid intelligence that over a hundred lodges of the I. B. F. O. E. of W have sworn fealty to the parent body, of which he is the head. Dr. Mills declares that he will all in his power bring about unity during the current year and will direct local lodges to fraternize with all Atkins members in good standing until union is effected. Francis H. Warren, of Michigan, has accepted the appointment of grand master of social sessions. In the face of recent agitation in New Jersey against the intermarriages of whites and Negroes, two licenses for such unions were issued in New York City last week. William Cuuningham, a Negro waiter, 39 years old, obtained a NO. 3 license to marry Kate Norman, a white widow, seven years his junior. Ernest gurdez, a Swiss, 47 years old and a watchmaker by trade, took out a license to wed Minnie Smith, a dark mulatto woman, born in Atlanta, Ga. She is employed in a well-known uptown club. Rev. Joshua E. Wilson who for more than twenty years efficiently and satisfactorily served as postmaster of Florence, S. C., was removed last Friday and a white man appointed in his place. Mr. Wilson is a man of high character, intellectually and physically strong a man of considerable wealth, polite, courteous, strickly attentive to duty, well known through-out South Carolina, for his sterling qualities. He lacked one quality however, the prime requisite, the sine qua non, under the flag of freedom as it now waves—he is not white. One of the most beautiful brick structures in the city of Los Angelas is the hall of the G. U. O. of O. F., on the corner of Eighth and Wall streets, in that beautiful city. The building is two stories high, with stores on the ground floor and lodge rooms above, and stands there as a monument to the energy and perseverance of the members of that order in the Angel City and to Los Angeles lodge, numbering about ninety members. The property is valued at something like $40,000, and the monthly income derived from rents, etc., is about $450. Robert C. White, manager of the Darktown Swells, while showing in Charlestown, W. Va., ordered a suit of clothes Monday from the woolen mills that was to be ready Saturday evening. Saturday at noon he was sent for and told by the manager of the Woolen Mills Tailoring Co. that the mills had refused to make the suit. White questioned the manager, and was told that they had received word from the mills that the pattern was too gorgeous and that they had stopped making light clothes for colored people, and he showed White a dark pattern, but White refused and demanded his money that he had deposited, and he got a good colored lawyer and brought suit. The case was compromised for $25 and $10 White had deposited in addition.

ENGRAVERS-PRINTERS ONLINE CUTTS TAULKS DENVER, COLO --- THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND OTHER COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN NEWS. The Los Angeles Examiner has completed one of the most extraordinary campaigns in the history of American municipalities by overselling at popular subscription $720,000 worth of school bonds. After an examination of the documents relating to the services of former Consul Pasquale Corte, the Italian Department of Foreign affairs in Rome has turned over to the public prosecutor the evidence brought by Consul General Rossi of Denver charging Corte with persecution and fraud involving the amount of $10,000. Attired in a linen duster, an old black slouch hat and swinging an electric lantern at his side, President Taft was locked in a narrow iron cage and dropped 1,200 feet through midnight blackness into the depths of the famous old Leonard copper mine at Butte. He had the rare experience of seeing miners at work with a giant drill in a vein of high-grade ore that sparkled green with its wealth of mineral. Mrs. Mary Smith, 88 years old, died at Newport, Ky. Mrs. Smith was for forty years a daily communicant at early mass at St. Peter's cathedral. She and her husband came to America from Lancashire, England, when she was 48 years old. She had attended mass daily for more than twenty-four years before she left England. That would make a total of more than 22,000 times she had gone to church. She had given two-thirds of her small fortune to charity. J. Mills, sheepherder of Wyoming undoubtedly saved his life by hacking off a finger with a dull knife. Mills while on the range, was bitten on the end of a finger by a rattlesnake. He attempted to amputate the finger above the bite, but his knife was so dull that he could only cut the flesh away from the bite. This, however was sufficient to prevent the poison entering his system. He then walked ten miles to a telegraph station and ordered an automobile, in which he was taken to Cheyenne and placed in a hospital. The new town of Cordova, Ariz., is being built upon the ruins of a prehistoric city. In making excavations for the foundations of buildings here the stone walls of the houses which were occupied by the early race of people are found. Several large rooms have been cleared of dirt and debris. Recent explorations by private parties have unearthed many of the implements of agriculture and warfare of these prehistoric people. The ancient city stood upon a row of foothills, the tops of which have been worn to a comparatively level surface by the ravages of the elements during the many hundreds, and perhaps, thousands of years since the place was inhabited. The fact that there is no cemetery or evidences of burials visible in the vicinity would lead to the belief that the entire city must have been wiped out of existence in some great battle. GENERAL NEWS Four persons were killed and three others injured in a collision between a freight train and a hand car one mile west of Edgar, Wis. The late Gov. Johnson's will has been filed in the Ramsey county probate court. The value of the estate is valued in a petition for probate in excess of $37,430. After Thomas Gray, a New York lad eighteen years old, was shot once in the chest two inches from the heart and once in the thigh he walked the streets for two hours before going home, fearing that his father would not believe that a mysterious stranger in a doorway had wounded him without reason. The Land Trust Company and the Mercantile Trust Company, both state institutions at Pittsburg, did not open for business Monday. James L. White, state bank examiner, is temporarily receiver for both banks. The trust companies consolidated recently. It is said they were unable to carry cut the merger, and made arrangements Saturday to assign voluntarily. According to the officials, the depositors will be paid in full. The capital stock of the two companies is $1,210,000. Wireless telephone communications for Colorado and Wyoming is the object of the visit to Cheyenne of Sam Covington of Seattle, representative of a wireless company now operating in the Northwest city. Covington declares that his company proposes to establish wireless stations at Cheyenne and Sheridan, Wyo., and Denver and Pueblo, Colo. Eight men were drowned and seven had a narrow escape from death by the foundering Saturday of the Norwegian steamer Gere, six miles from the Winter Quarter lightship. Harry Whitney, expert at St. Johns, N. F., believes both Dr. Cook and Commander Peary found the North Pole. In expressing this belief Whitney said he knows no reason for doubting Cook more than Peary. "Dr. Cook's story," he said, "seems to me truthful and probable. Nothing else would explain his twelve months' absence." Cardinal Gibbons says that Judge Milliken of New Bedford, Mass., did right in deciding that the testimony was not privileged in the case in which a wife desired to go on the stand in a suit of her husband against a priest, to show that the priest in the confessional had urged her to abjure her marriage because it had been a civil ceremony and not under the church rights. Declaring that the remonetization of silver is the only remedy which will prevent the total loss of our trade with Asiatic countries, Judge C. C. Goodwin of Salt Lake and James A. Heckman, secretary of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Board of Trade of New York, have begun the fight for the recognition of the white metal before the American Mining Congress at Goldfield. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. M. E. Barton has been appointed clerk in the forest service at Steamboat Springs. United States District Attorney Emby of the Western District of Oklahoma has resigned his $4,400 position rather than to obey the command of United States Attorney General Wickersham and dismiss land fraud indictments against Carroll W. Gates, a Los Angeles millionaire. In a speech on the conservation of natural resources delivered at Spokane, President Taft declared that he would ask Congress to authorize the issuance of $10,000,000 in bonds to complete irrigation projects already begun in the West and on which work had been stopped for lack of funds. Mrs. Louisa Compton of Pinesville, La., wrote to the War Department, asking it bounty was given to the parents of large families. Mrs. Compton said that she had been told that the parents of large families were given a bounty, and cited the fact that she had ten sons to justify her claim to a reward.

Charles J. Bell, former governor of Vermont, died of heart disease on a train in the Grand Central station as he was about to leave for Boston. He served as chief magistrate of Vermont from 1904 to 1906. In previous years he held many offices of minor importance. Governor Bell was born in Weldon, Vt., in 1845. The Treasury Department has settled the question of the legality of drawing checks below $1 by deciding that any man who has an account in a bank can draw on it for any sized check he wishes, without violating the law. Assistant Secretary Norton, who recently received appeals from many persons on the subject, issued this statement. Asserting that the climate is too hot and that the food is not that to which the English emigrant is accustomed, the British consul at Galveston, Mr. Nugent, reports to his government that his district, which includes Texas and New Mexico, is, generally speaking, "by no means suited to the average emigrant from the United Kingdom." In view of the fact that but 204 national banks out of the total of over 7,000 in this country have acceded to the recent request of Comptroller of the Currency Murray, that more $5 notes be taken by them, it appears that the prediction of the scarcity of small money in the crop-moving period this year is not looked upon seriously by the bankers of the country. Acting upon the theory that an additional issue of $5 bank notes would relieve the demand of $5 silver certificates, and these being released could be exchanged for $1 bills, Comptroller Murray two months ago issued the appeal. To set at rest allegations which have been made over the country regarding the source of the funds used by the Roosevelt hunting expedition in Africa, Secretary Walcott of the Smithsonian Institution authorized the statement that not a cent of the cost comes from the funds of the institution or from the United States government. The secretary says the personal friends of Colonel Roosevelt, whose names are not disclosed, have provided the scientific party with sufficient funds to carry on the expedition. The statement was issued in view of the numerous letters of inquiry received by Secretary Walcott concerning the source of the financing of the expedition. The War Department advised her that there is no law under which she can be granted a bounty for her "notable achievement." Colorado patents have been granted as follows: F. G.

DENVER IS CHEATED RAILROADS SHOULD PAY ON BASIS OF TERMINAL VALUES AND NOT MILEAGE. Denver.—Declaring that Denver, under the present law, does not get a square deal in the distribution of state taxes, Governor John F. Shafroth spoke before the Denver Real Estate Exchange at its weekly noon luncheon here Wednesday, suggesting the changes which the legislature should make to wipe out the present abuses. The discrimination against Denver was set forth in detail by the chief executive, who took up the work of the state board of equalization and its duties under the law and showed that unless legislative action is taken no redress can be obtained from the present burdensome and unjust system. The governor insisted that Denver is not being treated fairly under the present operation of the law and that she is deprived of thousands of dollars a year which rightfully should go into her coffers instead of benefitting outlying counties. Other Counties Favored. The governor showed by his figures some startling facts concerning railroad taxes in Colorado. Thus, according to his facts, Archuleta county gets ten times the taxes Denver receives from the Denver & Rio Grande road. Delta gets eleven times as much as Conejos, Gunnison's figures are $1,001,850, as against $58,850 for Denver, or just eighteen and one-half times as much. These figures are but a portion of thoseecited to show the injustice of the present system. He gave the following figures: Colorado & Southern.

Denver $ 91,500 Weld $ 1,826,990 Logan $ 799,370 Congress will be asked to aid Colorado in obtaining good roads, according to C. A. Johnson, acting chairman at the weekly Real Estate exchange luncheon. At the conclusion of Governor Shafroth's speech a member asked that the exchange indorse a $1,000,000 bond issue by the government for roads through national lands in Colorado. Chairman Johnson, president of the Rocky Mountain Highways association, explained that the matter is already being taken up with Senator Hughes and a bill will be introduced in congress seeking government aid. The committee on public improvements also presented a resolution providing for a committee to take up the matter of having good roads and electric railways built from Denver to the various mountain resorts. The exchange voted to appoint a committee to take up legislative remedies for the present unjust tax laws, following Governor Shafroth's suggestion, but the committee will not be named until the next meeting. Over 30,000 Licenses. Thomas J. Holland, fish and game commissioner, has gone to Craig and Yampa, where he will remain during the open season for deer, October 1 to October 10, attending personally to the supervision of the hunting and seeing that no one person kills more than one buck with horns. More than 30,000 licenses have already been issued by the state for the ten days' season. Because Peter Nielson, an embalmer, was overheard saying "I hope Tatwil fall and break his neck" the Denver police locked him in jail until the president departed. Virginia Sample, formerly of the United States coast guard service in Maine, and Marcia McKay, daughter of a wealthy cattleman of Debeque, Colo., were married at Greeley Monday by the Rev. R. J. Hunter of the First Presbyterian church. Sample left the government service three years ago and became a Weld county farmer. The Union Pacific Ranway system, embracing what are commonly known as the Harriman lines, is to spend $100,000,000 in extensions, betterments and equipment in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas and other western states.

It burned and itched so much that I was compelled to show it to a doctor. He pronounced it ringworm. After trying his different remedies the disease increased and went up my arms and to my legs and finally on my face. The burning was something terrible. I went to another doctor who had the reputation of being the best in town. He told me it was eczema. His medicine checked the advance of the disease, but no further. I finally concluded to try the Cuticura Remedies and found relief in the first trial. I continued until I was completely cured from the disease, and I have not been troubled since. C.

GET OVER $10,000 MAYOR OF THE TOWN LOOKS IN TO MUZZLE OF REVOLVER AND SUBMITS TO ROBBERY. Glenwood Springs.—With Western realism which for once outclasses the spectacular bad man of melodrama, a daring bank robbery, by two lone outlaws, armed with revolvers—aided by hired horses, all in the broad daylight of a bright September day—has looted the Citizens' National bank of Glenwood Springs of $10,000 and has sent a posse of men scouring the mountains on the trail of the robbers. The setting for one of the most remarkable and daring robberies, even in the history of the West, which furnishes spectacular color for Eastern writers of blood-and-thunder romance, outclassed fiction Wednesday afternoon when Mayor E. E. Drach of Glenwood Springs, a heavy stockholder in the Citizens' National bank, looked up from his work at the cashier's window to gaze into a heavy six-shooter glinting coldly in the sunlight. All alone in the bank with the exception of E. H. Davis, bookkeeper, Drach was at the mercy of the robber, his companion in the bank being covered with the revolver of a second outlaw who had gone around the counter and compelled Davis to throw up his hands. Under the counter and within reach of Mayor Drach's right hand was a heavy caliber revolver. The bandit holding the cold muzzle of the pistol in the mayor's face calmly frustrated his plan to give fight by compelling him to throw up his hands. The true Western atmosphere of daring outlawry was further accentuated by the escape of the robbers and the pursuit by the posse. After filling flour sacks with gold and currency while his partner backed Drach and Davis into a corner of the vault and covered them, the other robber flung the sack over his shoulder and departed by way of a rear door. The second man forced Drach and Davis to accompany them this far. At the door two horses were awaiting them. Upon these the robbers sprang and before the alarm could be given had dashed down the alley and out into Pitkin avenue. Taft Meets Old Sweetheart. North Yakima, Wash.—President Taft met an old sweetheart here, and proudly boasted of the fact when he addressed a great throng of Yakima valley citizens in front of the court house. While the president was breakfasting in his car, a card was brought to him. On it was the name of Mrs. Betty Hodges, who formerly was Miss Betty Evans of Cincinnati. Mrs. Hodges was warmly welcomed on board and was introduced by the president to all his breakfast guests, including Governor Hay, Senator Jones and others. When he was speaking at the court house Taft complimented the Yakima people on their splendid apple orchards and declared that his love for apples created a bond of union between him and the people of this section. "And there is another bond between me and the Yakima valley, although perhaps I ought not to say it in such a public place. I found an old sweetheart of mine here today," declared the president amid a shout of laughter. "You don't know who she is, and I am not going to tell you," continued Taft, "but before she gets through she is going to be one of the most successful farmers of your district. "At any rate, if she can cultivate the good will of the fruit as she did the men in my neighborhood, she is bound to succeed." Bryan and Bailey May Meet. Lincoln, Neb.—William J. Bryan, who reached home from the South tonight, said he knew nothing about his proposed debate on the tariff with Senator Bailey at Atlanta, Ga. All he heard, he said, was what he read in the morning papers, and until he had an opportunity to look over telegrams and mail tomorrow he could not answer any questions. Bryan said if he should engage in a joint debate with the Texas senator it would not be before the middle of November, as he had engagements which would occupy his attention until then. Schools to teach mindness. Chicago, Ill.—For the first time in the history of the public schools of Illinois the state legislature has dictated that a course of study, the humanne treatment of animals, henceforth is to be taught. Not only is the course ordered as part of the work of the common schools, but the law provides a penalty for neglect on the part of teachers. The penalty is the withholding of not more than 5 per cent of the monthly salaries. Maude really has been granted a divorce. W. H. McIntosh, a teamster, has mysteriously disappeared from Grand Junction. The Routt county school teachers are holding an institute at Yampa this week. Three members of the Miner family at Grand Junction have died within ten days. Charles Woolf of Golden was bound over to the District Court on charge of cattle rustling. A baby a few weeks old was found in a box at the Union depot in Denver recently. The youngster was well and apparently happy. No trace of the unnatural mother is found. John W. Bailey, 72 years of age, a trustee of Denver university, died at Bayonne, N. J., where he had lived for a year. He is survived by a widow and two sons, and a sister, Mrs. I. T. Beck, 1432 Grant street. Thirty warrants were issued Monday at Pueblo for the arrest of men living near the Missouri Pacific roundhouse, who, it is charged by Special Agent F. J. Cox, have stolen almost enough tools to start another railroad. All manner of railroad property is included in the list, and it is charged that even a handcar was taken. The body of E. Espineza, a miner eighteen years of age, employed by the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company at Segundo, was found on the railroad tracks of the Colorado & Wyoming at that camp Monday. It is presumed that he was trying to beat his way to Trinidad on a freight when he fell under the wheels. He was unmarried and lived with his parents. Driven to desperation by pain, the result of months of suffering from stomach trouble, Fred C. Bucherdee, aged 60, a pioneer of Boulder county, committed suicide in his home at Lyons. He first slashed his wrists with a butcher knife, but fearing that his wife would detect his act before he could bleed to death, he took a shotgun and blew off the top of his head. John E. Caldwell, commander of Colorado Springs Post No. 22. G. A. R., died suddenly Sunday morning in San Diego, Cal. He reached San Diego Friday, having gone there after several weeks' illness in the hospital in the hopes that the lower altitude would benefit his health. The direct cause of his death was heart failure. Mr. Caldwell was sixty-five years old and is survived by his stepdaughter, Mrs. Belle Coulter, with whom he lived in Colorado Springs. Final survey for the proposed electric car line from Grand Junction to Fruita was commenced Monday under the direction of Chief Engineer Moseley of the company. The right of way over the entire course has been secured and at a conference held in Fruita last Saturday between General Manager Sunderlin and other officials of the Interurban Electric Company and the local committee, which had in charge the securing of the right of way, it was formally announced that the road would be in operation by January 1st. Tobias Mattox, living a mile southwest of Greeley, will take $1,000 in fruit from an eight-acre orchard this season, having one of the best crops since he planted it seven years ago. There are twenty-eight varieties of apples, different varieties of plums, grapes, pears, peaches, etc. The average harvest of each plum tree brought a return of $10 and over a ton and a half ton of grapes will be gathered. Mattox intends to increase his orchard and make a specialty of shipping fruit to Denver, where, he says, the demand is for the best quality. He says that his orchard has brought him double the returns of any other eight acres on his farm of 150 acres. Denver.—Reviewing of the assessments of corporations was finished by the state board of equalization, and values fixed on telegraph, telephone, railroad and express companies in the sum of $56,000,000, an increase of $4,000,000 over last year's assessment. The state will receive $240,000 in taxes from this, and the counties combined the sum of $1,708.00. The assessments on four corporations fixed at the April meeting were changed by the board; the Union Pacific was granted a reduction of $360,000 because it had made a mistake in figuring its bonds of $500,000. The Western Union was reduced $47,000 and the Postal Telegraph company $61,000, these reductions being made on account of losses claimed to have been sustained in the business. The Missouri Pacific was reduced because of a clerical error of $100,000. In spite of the big reduction for the Union Pacific, that road has the greatest proportional increase of any of the railroads. Ernest Knaeble of Denver has been made assistant United States attorney. Elder W. B. Craig of the South Denver Christian Church has received a call to New York and Los Angeles. He has not decided which place he will take, if either. As a reward for seventeen years of constant and efficient service, Harry L. Hobbs, recently connected with the auditor's office of the Colorado Midland railroad, has been made treasurer of that company. His headquarers will continue to be in Denver.

Mrs. Charity Pugh of Texarkana, Tex., has just arrived in Denver and immediately purchased the fine two-story brick structure with fourteen elegant rooms at No. 2435 Arapahoe street. Also she purchased a choice half block in the choicest residence district of the city of Denver, upon which she contemplates the immediate erection of a modern residence. She also filed on 320 acres of government land fifty miles east of Denver. Also the following colored citizens of Denver have taken the wise step to file homestead entries upon 320 acres each in Arapahoe county forty miles east of Denver: W. H. Penson; C. W. King (a large property owner of Denver); Jno. W. Roe; Charles Pearson; Marion Robinson; J. T. Jones; W. A. Moore; Mrs. C. Pugh; William Mallory. This is, indeed, an exceedingly wise step for the race on the part of these citizens, and the Colorado Statesman frankly advises all our citizens to get busy and secure some of this free land as it is fine soil which will produce fine crops of wheat, corn, oats, garden products, etc. Anyone wishing information about these homesteads can get same by calling upon either C. W. King, 2435 Arapahoe, or Marlon Robinson, 1129 Nineteenth street. This land is being taken rapidly and if you want a portion of this free land you must get busy and act at once, as land is the most stable foundation of all races, why not ours? Y. M. C. B.

In the coun- ty, where leaves remain much longer on the trees than in the city, a hostess noted for her original ideas, conceived the idea of turning the clearing of her large lawn of the autumn leaves into a frolic, Over the telephone invitations went out to six congenial couples, all good friends, to come the following Satur- day attired in warm clothes, with heavy gloves. Partners were chosen by rakes tled with ribbons, two of each color. Then work began. After each couple had a big pile the hostess asked that a specimen of each variety of leaf be brought into the house. Then there was an impromptu contest to see who could name the most varie: ties. A picnic luncheon was served and great bonfires of the leaves were built after dark. Afterwards all gathered round the fireplace, told stories, roasted apples ‘and chestnuts and begged to be in- cluded in next year’s “leaf . party.” “Next” year is now this year, and | know several people who are planning to have just such jolly parties when the fall weather lays low the brilliant red and yellow leaves. ‘The hostess had made dainty autumn leaf place cards, done in wood brown with gold lettering. By the way, this same host ess told me she was growing cunning little Norwsy pine trees in six-inch pots for Christmas gifts. Capital idea, don’t you think? Early Morning Bird Party. A hostess in a near-by suburb gave this party, waict was novel and huge- ly enjoyed by those who participated. The hour was half-after five in the morning, and the invitations contained a time table with the train marked that those who accepted must take. At the station they were met by a bus and conveyed to the house where coffee and rolls were served on the poreh. Then an hour was spent in the woods adjacent to the grounds where the birds congregate for their early matins. The hostess had a book describing birds, their habits and their notes, which was used as reference. A prize was awarded to the person who know the names of the most birds, one to the person who discovered the great- est variety and one to the guest who counted the most nests. An hour was spent in this way and then all return. ed to the house, where a perfectly de licious breakfast was served, begin: ning with fruit and ending with waf- fles and maple syrup. Te Find Partners. At a card party the hostess passed English walnuts which proved to be candy boxes containing the tiniest of bonbons in many colors. There were two of each color and partners were found by matching the candies in their nuts and then they had them to eat afterward. There were just seven tables and all the rainbow tints were represented, the chairs at the tables were tied with a huge bow of tulle of one of the seven colors. The effect was very pretty and added to the gay- ety, for every one loves color when used to good advantage. An Apron Shower. Quite the jolliest and most practical shower that has come to my notice lately is an apron “shower.” A friend of the bride-elect planned it all for an afternoon affair; each guest was invited to bring an apron, large or small, fancy or plain, so the result was that there were 24 fine spect mens. The hostess first tied one on the honored guest just before the chafing dishes were hrought in; then one by one each guest tied or pinned on her offering until the bewildered little bride-to-be was literally en- veloped from head to foot in aprons. They made fudge, then cocoa and wafers were passed. rice Ww This wonderful bit by the late Ed ward Everett Hale I want to put in our department, as its sentiment car ries out the idea I wish every home iA oh F) AT ——— 4 OZ aGioor} — BECAUSE their salesroom is so small and their trade so large that under the old system they were unable to wait upon their cus- | tomers properly. _ BECAUSE under their new wrapping system their butchers can wait | upon almost twice as many customers as in the old way.

POINTS ON AUTUMN MILLINERY /Some Features That Are Distinctly New Will Mark the Headgear of the Coming Season. Chenille is very prominent and shown in exqiuite colors of velvety softness. Often it is Interwoven with silk braid, forming crown plateaux and trimming bands, and in this in- stance offers splendid possibilities for novel color blends. A remarkable feature of the autumn models is that the pronounced and dis: tinctive outlines which prevailed in a great many of the midsummer hats had to yield the palm to unusually soft, ungiecided ones. This is due to the fact that there are very few blocked shapes employed for the truly exclusive chapeaux, those that are softly draped with rich, supple ma- terial being in the lead. Calla lilies of velvet are shown and represent the latest fashion in the new floral offerings. They are equally lovely when in fancy tones—black, dull blue, purple or rose—as in theit natural pale, creamy white, and in every case their chalice is filled with the subtly curved, deep yellow rod of stamina, which is the charactersite part of this flower. Tulips are very good, and so are large petaled, clus: tered anemones of lustrous heavy satin or soft velvet, especially so when accompanied by veivet foliage in nat- ural hues.—Vogue.

Figured as well as striped henriet tas are seen in the shops in all the newest colorings. Shirring over cords and in tiny puffs will be seen more and more as the season advances. ‘The scarf which matches the gown is becoming one of the familiar fea. tures for the light wrap. ‘The winter promises to be a season of extra long, narrow coats over plain, striped or checked gowns. A gay Beau Brummel frill at the throat transforms the tailored suit into something dainty and feminine. Black embroidery upon brown is smart when the brown is not too dark to afford a contrast with the black. Hats. of dark material, lined with something lighter in color, are among the dressy types of midsummer wear. The coarser weaves of tussore, which have the preference just now, look at a distance like a piece of rough canvas. Sleeveless coats with a color con trasting with the gown under them are in growing favor as the season advances. Among the popular fabrics are the new two-tone changeable satins, the face being of one color and the back of another. One of the oddities of the season is the introduction of the metallic and spangle effects among the cottons and linens. Glace kid gloves are imperative for full dress, except in very hot weather and may be worn with almost any cos tume. Glace kid is expensive, but i | wears and cleans well. -| MRS. L. LACY and MRS. S.

The most timely feature of the October Century is the Clermont chapter of "Fulton's Invention of the Steamboat," written by the inventor's great-granddaughter, Mrs. Alice Crary Sutcliffe. This second of two valuable historical articles is devoted to the Clermont's making, launching and history; and the narrative includes many of Fulton's own letters and manuscripts, now published for the first time, in addition to autographic plans for the Clermont, recently discovered. Other timely articles of the number include Mr. A. Barton Hepburn's discussion of the question: "Is a Central Bank Desirable?" contracting the rigidity of the United States currency with the flexibility of the currency of other nations; also two articles on the growing use of the "finger-print" system of identification in governmental and business circles. Charles B. Brewer tells of their use in the United States navy and elsewhere; and Jay Hambidge has much of interest to say on the remarkably successful use by the New York police of this new method of identifying criminals.

OLDEST LAND IN THE WORLD According to Scientists Our Earth Had Its Origin in the Laurentian Highlands. Stretching across Canada, north of the St. Lawrence, and ending in the regions about the source of the Mississippi, is a range of low granite hills called the Laurentian highlands. These hills are really mountains that are almost worn out, for they are the oldest land in America, and, according to Agassiz, the oldest in the world. In the days when there was nothing but water on the face of the globe, these mountains, came up—a long island of primitive rock with universal ocean chafing against its shores. None of the other continents had put in their appearance at the time America was thus looking up. The United States began to come to light by the gradual uplifting of this land to the north and the appearance of the tops of the Alleghenies which were next in order. Later the Rockies started up. The United States grew southward from Wisconsin and westward from the Blue Ridge. An early view of the country would have showed a large island which is now northern Wisconsin, and a long thin tongue of this primitive rock sticking down from Canada into Minnesota, and these two growing states looking out over the waters at the mere beginnings of mountain ranges east and west. They were waiting for the rest of the United States to appear—The Atlantic. They Didn't Have to Change. During the years in which our pure food laws have been put into effect there has been a great hurrying and scurrying on the part of the food manufacturers to change their methods to make them conform to the law. The Quaker Oats Company is a conspicuous exception. It was admitted that Quaker Scotch Oats was as pure and clean as possible and that it was an ideal food. It is so cheap that any one can afford it and so nourishing that everyone needs it. The result of last year's experiments at Yale and other points where food values were tested is that Quaker Scotch Oats has been adopted by many persons as their food on which they rely for adding vigor and endurance of muscle and brain. The Quaker Oats Company meets all demands in the way it packs Quaker Scotch Oats; regular size packages and the large size family package; the latter, both with and without china. As St. Louis Lawyers Talk. Circuit Judge Reynolds had announced that he would hear jurors who had excuses to offer for not serving, and a dozen American citizens crowded up to the bench to tell their troubles. Their excuses were as varied as those who were bidden to the feast that the Bible tells about. One had an important engagement and another could not hear very well, and another had sickness in his family, and another had duties to perform which nobody else on earth could perform, and another was going on a journey. And so it went. The last man in the line wanted to be let off because he was a German. He might have been excused if he had not presented his excuse wrong end forward. "Judge," he said, "I can't understand good English." "Oh, you'll do all right," said the judge. "There is no good English spoken in here."—St. Louis Post-Dispatch Snake Story.

THE MUSEUM OLD POHICK CHURCH STRUCTURE ASSOCIATED WITH WASHINGTON RESTORED. Used as Union Picket Post During Civil War and Horses Stabled There—First President Vestryman of Institution. Washington. — Pohick church — a church associated with George Washington, his kin and friends and all the Mount Vernon neighborhood — has been restored largely through the aid of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Society of the Colonial Dames and the Mount Vernon Ladies' association. A century of waste and and friends and all the Mount Vernon neighborhood — has been restored largely through the aid of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Society of the Colonial Dames and the Mount Vernon Ladies' association. A century of waste and decay has been repaired by these patriotic women. The interior of the church has been made to look as it did when the Washingtonons of Mount Vernon, the Fairfaxes of Belvoir, the Masons of Gunston Hall and scores of other colonial notables worshiped there. The church has been furnished with the high-backed, private-box-like pews and on these pews have been placed old-fashioned plates bearing the names of the colonial and revolutionary pewholders. This part of the restoration was made possible by the recovery recently of the original vestry book of Truro parish, of which parish Pohick church is the parish church. The pulpit, reached by spiral stairs, has been rebuilt and the original sounding board has been placed over it. Under this pulpit have been buried the bones of the Rev. Lee Massey, Washington's pastor at Pohick. Lee Massey was born in 1750, was the second pastor of Pohick church and died in 1814 and was buried on a farm about three miles from the church. The grave was lately reopened and the bones laid to rest under the stone floor of the old church. Pohick church was nearly a ruin when the civil war came on, and during the war a Union picket post was established there, the men's horses being stabled in the church. Nearly all the woodwork of the church was torn out by the soldiers. Much of it was burned. A few months ago Mr. Meade, the pastor of Pohick, received from a union veteran one of the balusters of the chancel rail. He had taken this baluster from the church when he was stationed there as a soldier. With the aid of this relic the chancel rail was restored and this original baluster, properly marked for identification, was inserted in the rail. The original baptismal font of the church was found in Fairfax county on a farm, where it had been in use for at least 75 years as a horse trough. It is now re-established in its old place in the church. The first Pohick church was built in 1732, about two miles from the site of the present church. The Mount Vernon Washingtonts attended that church. In 1770 the church was much out of repair and Washington and Mason proposed the building of a new church. George Mason, the author of the Virginia bill of rights, favored the construction of the new church on the old site, while Washington favored a site two miles nearer Mount Vernon, claiming that the more central site for all the members of the church. Washington won, and the present church was built in 1773. Washington was long a vestryman of Pohick church. It was not until late in life that Washington became a member of Christ church in Alexandria. Nothing Like It Here Joseph Leiter, at a dinner in Washington, said earnestly of his approaching European tour: "Where I am going I'll find something that we haven't here, that we'll never have here—namely, hopeless poverty." Mr. Leiter's seriousness gave place to a lighter mood. "Why," said he, "the poverty of Europe is so acute that I am credibly informed it is quite a common thing over there for little children, knocking at neighbors' doors, to whine: "Please, ma'm, mother says will ye lend us somethin' to pawn till pay day evening?" MIGHT HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT MIGHT HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT Story of How Former Senator Dubois of Idaho Came Near to Seat Occupied by Roosevelt. Washington.—"If former Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho were less of a philosopher; if he ever permitted himself to have vain regrets, he would now be 'kicking himself,' to use a slang phrase, that he is not an expresident of the United States instead of an ex-senator," remarked William F. Clark, a veteran newspaper man of New York, at the Raleigh. "Dubois could have been president, his friends believe, although it would have come about in the same manner that Roosevelt became president. Long before the convention of 1896, that nominated William McKinley, it was known to Mark Hanna that the silver Republicans were going to bolt the convention. Hanna had a line on Teller, Dubois, Cannon and Pettigrew, and he was fearful, astute political general that he was, that the result of the bolt might be disastrous in the election. He didn't want to take any chances on the silver men walking out, because he was afraid that the effect on the voters of the country would be bad, and he wanted to cinch the presidency for his friend McKinley. "He didn't fear the Democratic nominee at that time, whoever he might be. Of course, Hanna had no idea that Bryan would be nominated, and he didn't anticipate that the issue in that campaign would be the silver question, although he knew that in his own party it had reached an acute stage. Hanna wanted to bury that question, because he was aware that it would be popular with the people. "He did the wise thing—he made overtures to the silver insurgents in an effort to effect a compromise. The senator went to Teller and Pettigrew and proposed that if the silver Republicans would not walk out he would agree to throw his support to Dubols for vice president. But the silver men would not listen to the proposal, and, as is well known, they walked out. If Dubols and his silver friends had agreed to the Hanna proposal, Dubols would have been nominated, and it's almost a sure thing that he would have been renominated in 1900, for it is ancient history now that the Republicans had a hard time to get a candidate." TABBY IS UNDER A CLOUD Scientist Interested in Protection of Birds Casts Grave Suspicion on the House Cat. Washington.—That house cats annually kill millions of wild birds in the United States and that their virtue as destroyers of rats and mice is exaggerated is the statement of A. K. Fisher of the department of agriculture. This onslaught on the character of the cat is made in connection with a defense of many of the predaceous animals which Mr. Fisher declares generally live on some form of pests, except when such food is scarce and they have to resort to the chicken roost, for instance, to eke out a living until the crop of pests, which are their food, gets abundant. The red-tailed hawk, he points out, keeps down the field mice and touches other food only when its work of extinction of the mice has been too well done for its own good. Mr. Fisher pleads for moderation in the treatment of predatory birds and other animals on the ground that their service as pest destroyers should license them, when food is scarce, to descend on domestic animals, the injury to which, he insists, is small when compared with the good the birds do the farmer. Warnings to the Clerks Chief clerks of the various departments in Washington have to stand a lot of joshing from their subordinates, and they take various ways of getting even. Over in the interstate commerce commission Chief Clerk Conolly has tacked over his desk: "If you want to know who's boss, start something." Assistant Commissioner General of Immigration Larned has a notice which reads: "All requests for leave of absence, owing to grandmothers' or other funeral, lame back, house cleaning, moving, sore throat, turning the wringer, headache, brainstorm, cousin's welding, general indisposition, etc., must be handed to your boss not later than 10 a. m. on the day of the game.

This, however, is not true. There is good paint, and there are good painters. But the question is, bringing them together. One cannot expect a satisfactory painting job without pure white lead. There is a way to make sure you are getting pure white lead without testing it. See that the keg bears National Lead Company's famous Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which is a positive guarantee of purity. However, anyone can test white lead. National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York City, will send you a lead tester and painter's outfit, consisting of book of color schemes, specifications, etc., upon request. Changed Farm Life. The dull silence that hung over that New England dinner table has been lifted of late. It is gone like the dew in the sunlight of the new social influences. The isolation of the farm was the chilling cause that drove men into the cities. Now, by telephone and free mail delivery, all the warm world currents are being carried to the country and are vitalizing the rural community into a life that is rich and abundant in the variety of its interests.

MOFFAT Nearly forty years ago—November, 1870—together with James Archer, Jerome B. Chaffee, E. F. Hallack, G. W. Clayton, Walter S. Cheesman, Daniel Witter and others, I began the struggle to supply Denver with water, and of these men I am the only survivor. Denver had about five thousand inhabitants; cactus beds extended from Larimer Street to Capitol Hill, and water in quantity was an absolute necessity to future growth. I believed in the future then, as I do now, and the needs of Denver today are as pressing for an adequate water supply as they were then, if we are to continue to grow. From that day to this, there has been expended on the plant which is now furnishing Denver with water, $13,098,483.55 in cash. Necessary as this enterprise and its success was to every property holder in Denver, it has been impeded not only by the difficulties which the problem itself and nature presents, but by vicious, untruthful and constant political assaults until it can be said that of all the large public enterprises of this city or state, it is today the only one which has not been profitable to its stockholders. From these dividends I have personally received $98,287.50, or $2,520.19 for each year that I have been connected with this project. Mr. W. S. Cheesman, received during the same period, and from the same dividends only $183,650.00 or $4,708.97 for each year. No investment sureley could afford a poorer field for capital. Not a real estate holding in Denver but what has, in this time, increased many many fold in value due to a growth to which the Water Company has contributed in no small degree. Each year additional capital and much care is needed as long as this city grows, and it is a reasonable question whether this can be expected when nothing but financial failure and abuse is the reward, although a prompt and decisive settlement is alike desirable both for the Company and the City. It is my purpose to have the officers of the Water Company prepare and make public complete and detailed statements of the property, affairs, income and business of the company, so that the property owners may know the truth and at To the Citizens and Taxpayers of Denver 10 THE COLORED ORPHANAGE AND OLD FOLK'S HOME Located at 873 Zuni street, Denver, Colo.; take Lawrence street car west and get off at West Eighth avenue, go due west through the Barnum shops eight blocks.

Water Company prepare and property, affairs, income and may know the truth and at Required: Three pounds of rump steak, one ounce and a half of butter, one pint of stock, three large Spanish onions, four cloves, two tablespoonfuls of Worcester sauce, cayenne and salt to taste, half an ounce of flour. First fry the steak in butter till nicely browned, then put it in a baking pan, with the fat in which it was fried. Have ready the parboiled insides of two or three large Spanish onions, put it in a baking pan, with the fat in which it was fried. Have ready the parboiled insides of two or three large Spanish onions, put these with the steak, cloves, one pint of stock, the Worcester sauce (or ketchup), cayenne and salt to taste. Cover the pan and bake slowly for two hours. Slice the outer parts of the onions and fry them a golden brown, dish the stew, and thicken the gravy, colored to a nice brown, and strain over. Garnish with fried onions and serve. Baked Bananas Pull down a section of skin from each banana, loosen the pulp from the skin, remove all coarse threads that adhere to the pulp and return the pulp to the skin in its original position; lay the fruit thus prepared in an agate pan and bake in a hot oven until the skins are blackened and the pulp is softened. Remove pulp from the skin without injury to shape, bend in a half circle and dispose in a serving dish; sprinkle with powdered sugar and fine chopped nuts and serve as a dessert dish; or pour over a Richelieu or a currant jelly sauce and serve as an entree with broiled or roasted meat. Caruso's Sideboard Voice. When the orchestra got tired at the German garden a man stopped up on the platform, opened the door of an escritoire and turned the crank, whereupon there issued a marvelous voice which filled the place. "Caruso," explained one. "Splendid!" "No wonder he injured his voice," remarked another. "Must have strained it to sing into a phonograph with a horn effect, but to sing into escritoires and bookcases and any old thing like that! First thing you know they'll be opening up a sideboard and Caruso's voice will come bellowing out of that." At Cross Purposes "Poor Mrs. Mixem has good intentions, but she certainly does make some bad breaks when she undertakes to give good advice." "What has she been saying now?" "She told one young fellow in her class who is as cross-eyed as he can be to look straight ahead in life, and another, who has lost both his legs, to be careful and always but his best foot forwards." least decide any questions submitted, with their eyes open and free from the jealousy, spite and malignity of certain newspaper articles. The truth of such statements so prepared I shall personally stand for. When this has been done I invite the sober judgment of the taxpayers of this city to say whether the company shall have a reasonable return upon the value of its property devoted to a public service, and whether the city shall continue to grow and prosper. The result of the recent appraisement and finding of $14,400,000, allowing as it did no increase of any reasonable amount over the original investment such as all other property holders have enjoyed, was a keen disappointment to the company and myself, and therefore we shall not urge the purchase of the plant. If, however, the taxpayers shall decide to the contrary, I shall carry out the terms and provisions of Ordinance 44 of the Series of 1890, and Ordinances 163 of the Series 1907, as I have many other unfavorable contracts. The plant cannot be duplicated for several millions of dollars more than the appraised price, and I have given this matter special attention. The water rights alone, even when devoted to an irrigation use, are in my opinion, worth in excess of seven million dollars; the distribution system cannot be constructed in less than five years and at a cost of not less than five million dollars; and in addition to these matters, conduits, filter beds, pumping plants and other property must be provided, costing several millions more; and all of this estimate is without any allowance for interest during the period of construction; or for an assembled or going value. The annual income of the Company for the year 1908, recently closed, amounted to $1,067,388.22, as compared with: The Denver Gas and Electric Company . . $2,250,000.00 The Denver City Tramway Company, . . $3,150,000.00 The Colorado Telephone Company, . . $2,700,000.00 After deducting interest on bonds, taxes and operating expenses, there remained $229,000.00, and after again deducting the debts of the Company, the cost of extensions, repairs and betterments, which were absolutely necessary, there was left a cash surplus of $85,626.41 available for dividends, and had this been distributed it would have amounted to a dividend of less than 11-4% upon the capital stock of the Company. As a matter of fact, this small surplus and more borrowed money is now being used for additional conduits to improve the service to the city. When I shall have presented fully the facts and truth of the matter, I shall feel that I have done my duty both to the company and to the city. The decision rests with the taxpayers. Should the proposition to purchase or to grant the new franchise be refused, there is left to the company but one course, and that is to seek the protection of the courts, however unfortunate this may be and inevitable the delay incident to such litigation affecting the growth of the city. In the courts, the Company is certain to receive that protection which is everywhere accorded, namely, a fair return upon the value of the property forcibly devoted to a public service, and more than this the Company will not ask in a franchise, and considerably less than this it has been accorded for the past twenty years.
