PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY CHRISTMAS GREETINGS CHRISTMAS GREAT Christmastide is here again, and the members of Christendom can feel justly proud in the fact of their being loyal to the celebration of Christmas-day—a day which is ever memorable as the beginning of the work of rescue of fallen humanity, when the Supreme Being out of pure love took upon himself the form of man and entered into the world to institute the plan of Redemption and Salvation. While among us there may be a few atheists, agnostics, etc., yet we are perfectly justified in celebrating in the highest and best possible form from year to year Christmas; as when we reflect on the great festivities engaged in by the followers of Mohammed, Buddha, Confuscins, etc., which did not last a day or a week, but extending from four to twelve weeks, there is every good reason for Christians indulging in the season's merriment and the celebration of this particular day. One of our hymn writers wrote the following: "There is a place where spirits blend. Where friend holds fellowship Where friend holds fellowship with friend, etc."—and in applying this to the matter before us, we may say "There is a time, etc," and surely if there should be a time or an event when this should be put into effect, it is during Christmastide, as what with the exchanging of greetings, the interchanging of ideas, the mutual and reciprocal action in the offering of gifts, there surely is something warrantable in the commemoration and celebration of the Birthday of the Greatest Leader of mankind the world had ever seen. Therefore let us enjoy ourselves to the utmost and while engaging in our pleasures remember the quality of virtue which is the essence of all pleasures. "Peace on earth good will towards men." Merry Christmas! Joyous Yuletide! WARNING TO YOUNG MEN (Natchez, Miss Weekly Herald.) (Natchez, Miss Weekly Herald.) Mr. Jakey Brown, the step-son of S. W. Green, Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, was shot and killed Friday night, Nov. 7th, on the corner of Canal and Franklin streets by a woman named Corinne Mantly. It was said by one of the Sunday dailies that the Chancellor Commander would call a meeting at oace to de- vise plans to secure eminent lawyers to prosecute this woman. That the time has come to put a stop to these women killing men for nothing, we agree with the above, but if these so called aristocrats would stay in their places, things, perhaps, would take on a different color. If they belong to the better class, why not keep out of the company of lewd women? There are plenty of nice, quiet girls who are trying to live respectable lives and who would be glad to have these first class gentlemen in their company, and would, if called upon, make excellent wives. But as a rule, nowadays, the boys who get good fire-side training and are well-cared for, would rather be in the lewd class of good timers, and at the end the result is fatal. This woman claimed she killed Brown because he took the money she gave him and spent it on another woman. This may be true and it may not be, but think! he worked for his step-father at a salary of $125.00 per month. With this she gave out the above cause to justify her murderous act; but what can be expected? You are judged by the company you keep. These lewd women, wine houses, poker games and all-night dances, etc., are the things that most of our young men love and lots of young women. Of course when these tragedies happen, it brings shame and disgrace as well as sorrow. Let the young men who are spending their living upon these women, learn to select a girl of the better type and go before the altar and have her made his wife, and thereby bring happiness to his mother and father by his right living. You might be a member of the best family and a leader of the best societies, and your associates are of the lower class, and especially lewd women and drunkards etc., you are judged just the same. Nine-tenths of these killings are being done by just this class, and when you begin to associate with this class, you may rest assured that they will have no respect for you nor your parents. They will meet you on the street and in any company, and say mean things to you. These lewd women and sports have already taken the majority of the better class of men. They bait them by giving them good clothes, something to eat etc, and not allowing them to work, and paying their fines, if any. The young men should learn again that State Hist & Nut Hist Societies State House GIANTS WHO ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO when these women do these things for them, that it means death to go contrary to their wishes. On account of the above named conditions, good girls are made to suffer and very often go wrong themselves. What is most needed is segregation among the Negro race and the sooner 'tis done the better. Let the better class keep away from the lewd class and not allow anyone who will associate with the sports in their company. Work is the best policy. "Evil communication corrupts good manners."

The three floats devoted to the part the Negro had played in the wars of the country were of especial interest. The choice of subjects, also, showing as they did his share in the general history of the nation, as against any essentially Negro contribution, was seen to be justified true, was won by the float illustrating Crispus Attucks striking the first blow for American history.

For this reason everyone is asking today whether the king and queen will receive the new Negro mayor of Sattersea, John Richard Archer, and his wife. The king cannot put off his decision in this matter long. At any rate, Mayor Archer will have many social duties, including attendance at Mansion House functions of the lord mayor of the city of London. A remarkable feature of the campaign which Mr. Archer won was the fact that no contestant for the office mentioned Archer's color in a stump speech. But since the election, Mayor Archer said in a speech: "It is a victory such as has never been gained before. I am a man of color. Many of the things that have been said about me, however, are absolutely untrue. I have been charged with not being of a century this paper has be largely to our conservative- exceptional editorials.

Cavener bequeathed to Mary Price McIntyre, daughter of the late Mrs. M. McIntyre $200; Mrs. John Henry Evans, one of Media's prominent women, receives $200; Miss Anna Rhoades, $100; Henry C.

C., Dec. 9.—The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association begun business April 1, 1899. Since that time it has written nearly 300,000 industrial policies and 10,000 ordinary. The company has $101,000 deposited with the Insurance Commissioner for the protection of its policy holders. The company is nonstock and all the liabilities are in the shape of its reserve which is maintained on all of its business. It gives employment to nearly 700 people; operates in the Carolinas and expects to go into other southern States in the spring of next year. F. C. Brown, of Hotel Brown, has an option on the Mt.

No two of any one nationality are to be accepted, and whether they be German, Irish, Chinese, Negro Arab or what not, they must be simon pure. Her object in gathering this universal family is to test the Montessori system which allows the child to bring out its own individuality, and this brings us face to face with the question of shaping a child's career, should the parents insist upon them pursuing certain courses when they are distasteful to the child. It would seem better results are obtained in any field of endeavor one chooses when it is to their liking. We see this exemplified every day. The novel experiment Mrs. Bishop is trying will be watched by the scientific world with a great deal of interest. Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 9. —The heirs of the late "Bob" Church have decided to stubbornly contest the decision recently rendered by Judge J. S. Galloway of the Probate Court, who ruled that Mrs. Laura Napier of Vancouver, B. C., and a daughter of the testator by a slave marriage, was entitled to a share of the Church estate, which is valued at nearly $1,000,000. The attorneys for the heirs will appeal Judge Galloway's decision to a higher court. Judge Galloway ruled that no laws subsequently enacted in other states could affect the Tennessee law of inheritance, and that Mrs. Napier, who was a child of the testator, was entitled to a share of the estitled to a share of the estate. Mrs. Napier is the daughter of the late "Bob" Church by a slave marriage. Mrs. Napier's mother was separated from Mr. Church the latter being brought to Memphis. Under the laws of Louisiana such a separation constituted a divorce. Life is the daily web of character we unconsciously weave. Our thoughts, imaginations, purpose, motives, love, will, are the underthreads; our words, tone of voice, looks, acts, habits, are the upper threads; and the passing moment is the shuttle, swiftly, ceaselessly, relentlessly, weaving those threads into a web; and that web is life.

"Pleased to Meet You." The Americans have a polite habit on being presented to a new acquaintance of uttering the words, "Pleased to meet you," although upon what the pleasure can reest, or now they know that it is a pleasure, or why an ordinary incident which is not the fulfillment of any anticipation and which may turn out to be very disagreeable should be pronounced at sight to be pleasant, I have never been able to understand. — London Saturday Review. No Matter Who. A party of women were being escorted through the statehouse by a bowing and scraping guide. The women were of the enthusiastic type and raved over this and that and said, "Oh, simply too gorgeous." Finally they were shown the portrait of a former governor. "Oh! superb, isn't it?" said one of them, and "an excellent likeness, too. A portrait of whom did you say it was?" Sound Advice to Mistresses.

CHRISTMAS SURPRISE I WANT you to promise me that you won't give me any Christmas present this year." Mrs. Whittler looked at her husband emphatically, "I mean it," she asserted. "Absolutely." "And you won't give me any?" replied Whittler experimentally. "Positively. Now is it understood?" Whittler, who was just going out, shut the door, came back, and sat down in front of his wife. "My dear girl," he said, "I am glad that you have brought this up, because we may as well settle it now as at any other time. You know that for years we have been doing this sort of thing every Christmas. About this time we both declare that we won't give each other anything; then, just before Christmas, we sneak out, and each of us buys the other a present. This year it will be the same. We will promise faithfully not to do it; but, just as sure as fate, we shall break our word." "In view of this alarming fact, that we are apparently the slaves of a yearly habit, what have you to suggest?" "Simply this—that we each of us agree now to buy the other a present." "I know that you will get me something I don't want!" "And I know that you will do the same; but isn't that what we have been doing all along?" "Then I don't see that we have gained anything." "Haven't we? Why not? Aren't we doing it openly? Think of the moral uplift!" Mrs. Whittler shook her head. "I don't agree with you," she said. "I think it would be much better for us to select ourselves the presents we want. If you like, you can come with me while I get mine." "Nonsense! That won't do at all. It is absolutely necessary for us to carry out the element of surprise. There is some sneaking, contemptible trait in human nature which makes us want, once a year, to surprise others. That is at the basis of all Christmas giving. It's a kind of impulsive, irresponsible attitude which impels us to buy something that we delude ourselves into believing the recipient is crazy for; while all the time we ought to know that it's probably the last thing on earth he or she wants. Would you rob us both of this fendish pleasure? Never! The only thing to do is to be natural. I therefore announce to you that I am going to surprise you with a present; and you must promise to do the same with me." A Mrs. Whittler considered. "Well," she said at last, "I suppose that is really the best thing for us to do, and I hereby agree to do it." When Christmas eve came, therefore—the time when the Whittlers were accustomed to "spring" their annual surprises—each of them bore that perfectly confident and identically joyful air which usually preceded the presentation of something we think the other person has been longing for. Whittler advanced with a smile. "My dear," he said, "I have the surprise of a lifetime for you." "Oh, do tell me!" said Mrs. Whittler, with a hypocritical air of galey and anticipation, although inwardly she shrank from the ordeal. "I know it is something that I want!" "What do you suppose it is?" her husband cheerfully inquired. "Haven't the least idea." "Well—it is—it is—guess!" "Oh, I couldn't! Tell me, quick!" "Well, it's absolutely nothing. Now, isn't that a surprise?" Mrs. Whittler burst into tears. "You horrid thing!" she exclaimed. "I shall never forgive you!" "But—" "Don't you know that it isn't the value of the thing. I might not have liked it; but the thought that you had tried to please me would have been everything. I didn't do that to you!" Whittler, beside himself with sudden remorse, sprang to her side. "I was only joking," he exclaimed breathlessly. "Honest, I was only jokin. What have you got for me?" She drew from a neighboring closet a dressing-sack, over which Whittler went into raptures, all the time feeling like a criminal. Then, with a solemn air, he drew from his pocket a twenty-dollar bill. "If you don't like it," he said, "you can exchange it for something else." Mrs. Whittler shook her head. "You didn't intend to give it to me, and I'm not going to take it now," she said. "It was an afterthought." "But—" She folded it up and put it back into his waistcoat pocket. "I'll forgive you this time," she smiled; "but remember, my dear, that it is very much better to go on year after-year giving each other things that we don't want than to attempt to break up an old habit; which, after all, foolish as it seems, is founded upon a genuine human sentiment."

A MERRY CHRISTMAS Before another issue of the Colorado Statesman reaches its many readers they will have had all the joy and blessings of the Christmas tide. How to make Christmas a joy and pleasure not only to ourselves but to all ought to be uppermost in our thoughts. Selfishness will rule out joy, therefore the first thing to do is to get rid of selfishness—throw it out of your mind, kick it out doors and let it have no place in your consideration. Second, get rid of vanity and covetousness. This will mar your pleasure. If you are not as happily circumstanced as somebody else, what difference does it make; resolve at least that you won't be a complainer, a knocker or a grumbler. Get happy yourself. You must be cheery before you can make anybody else comfortable Third, resolve to do something, give something to help somebody else; if it is not much, do it anyhow. It is not the marketable value, but the purpose and spirit that counts most. The Colorado Statesman has not met all of its ideals during the year; we have had our loss and profits, our ups and downs, our successes and failures, but we are happy just the same. Happy to have lived through another year, Happy to see another Christmas, Happy to dispense our cheer to others. Happy to live in the day of great things, and now we extend to our readers, one and all, new and old, saint, and sinner, young and aged, a merry Christmas. Let there be peace on earth and good will to all men. Get the Christmas smile the Christmas feel and the Christmas action. It is that big, broad, fine, deep, true and expansive feeling. The Christmas spirit is not a myth or illusion, it is just a generous, good natured, high, toned interest and respect for our fellow beings as brothers in a common family. Sons of Mother Nature make it, sympathize for others who are up against it. Again we wish you a merry Christmas, Pass it along until everybody in Denver gets the fever, smile and action of Christmas. CHRISTMAS GIVING Some excellent people condemn all Christmas giving because so many people make of it a senseless fad. It is true that much—perhaps most—giving of Christmas gifts is far from keeping with the real spirit of the sacred day, or even in accord with reason or good sense. Gifts made for a display of means or for the discharge of some obligation or because something of equal or larger value is expected in return, or to bind somebody favor or consideration are vulgar, and especially at a time when far different motives should hold sway. But even this does not justify a general condemnation of all Christmas giving. Giving has its origin in the deeper and better part of our nature. It can no more be restrained than the waters of a spring and life would be so much of a desolation without the one as earth would be without the other. Where we love we give and the giving is the outward expression of the loving. Joy and gratitude, gladness ane good will seek some tangible form of expression other than words, and they find it in favors and gifts. Christmas itself is but an expression of the greatest and divinest gift ever made to the world. So there is plenty of justification for Christmas giving, however, is more important than the gift itself. A mere trifle or trinket may serve a blessing of a lifetime, while a costly bauble may only serve a temporary interest. Let your giving be done judiciously and with the right spirit and it will serve noble ends. --- The larvae of the beetle were eaten by the ancient Romans and today are used as food by the people of the West Indies. In parts of Germany also, large beetles are cooked and eaten in various ways. "There are two things," remarked Fogg, in a contemplative mood, "that I don't understand. One is how the world got along before I came into it; and the other, how it is going to get along after I have left it." Concerning the Desirability of Gloves in General and Lewis' Gloves in Particular WERE you to search the Christmas Gift Calendar from cover to cover, you would find no more appropriate gift than a pair of perfect gloves. Were you to search the best glove centers of America and Europe you would fine no more perfect gloves than are assembled under the roof-tree of the Lewis Store; because we personally select our gloves from the large stocks of the best glove makers—from makers who utilize only perfect skins—who have patented the most perfect-fitting patterns; who employ only expert workmen in their manufacture. Among other good makes, we carry Reynier gloves—admittedly the finest French gloves made. The fit of a glove means much—very, very much; and the saleswomen in our glove section are experts in the art of glove-fitting. In selecting gloves for gifts, or in filling your own glove box, wouldn't you like the satisfaction of buying gloves where every pair is perfect and where you will be sure to be fitted correctly? If you prefer a glove certificate in order that the one receiving your glove gift may be properly fitted we will be glad to furnish certificates for gloves of any price you desire to give.

KEYSTONE SMOKER What proved to be the best drawing card in the way of a boxing contest that has ever been pulled off in Denver by colored promoters, took place at Eureka hall last Monday night. It was under the auspices of the Keystone club. "Sil" Stewart, who promoted and financed the event, is being warmly congratulated for his astute manipulation of the affair, which proved a big success. The program opened with a five-round schedule between Scotty Williams of Denver and Goody of Kansas City. The bout ended in the first round with a knockout in Scotty's favor. The next was the battle royal which furnished no little amount of fun and when the mill was over "Knockout" Brown had the ring to himself and was decided the winner. The main bout between Jesse Scott of Missouri and "Bob" Watkins of Denver followed next, and while both men had a large following, none were surprised at the outcome, which ended in the seventh round with Watkins the victor. There is no one in the pugilistic circle who has a better knowledge of the fight game than "Bob" and this fact, coupled with his wicked punch, was sufficient to make the result what it was. The official referee of the evening was John Carrie, Jr., while the time keeper was Jno. Carrie, Sr. For rent a five room frame house at 322 24th street. Apply at 1824 Curtis street, room 25.

Clement Richardson, head of the English department of the Tuskegee institute, tells in the Southern Workman an interesting story of the improvements that have been wrought in this fashion. Most significant, perhaps, is the effect that this industry has produced upon the white population. It indicates that colored people will be respected when they respect themselves. Mr. Richardson writes: "The attitude of the white people in many of these localities is both interesting and highly encouraging. The proverbial sneer of the southerner at negro education is not seen here. Some of the white people give money, some nails, some lend their mules and wagons to aid in hauling the lumber. Better than this, they actually attend many of the exercises held at the schoolhouses. At Notasulga, for instance, the principal of the white school not only attended one of the pay entertainments, but brought along many of his pupils. At another one of these entertainments several of the trustees were present and at Leachapoka, while none came in, a good number of white citizens sat on the back doorsteps near the pulpit and listened attentively throughout the exercises. Probably nothing will better express the sentiment of many of the Macon county white people than a letter from the mayor of Notasulga to Mr. Calloway apropos of dedicating the Notasulga schoolhouse. He writes: "In behalf of the good citizenship of Notasulga and vicinity I wish to express to you the appreciation we feel for the assistance you have given the colored people here in erecting the beautiful new school building which they are just completing. It is a credit to the town and I feel sure that it will be the means of greatly benefiting not only your race, but ours as well. No race can hope to accomplish its highest destiny without being properly trained and equipped, and I am truly glad to see your people taking such an interest in preparing their young people for the duties of citizenship. "Following the lead which Dr. Washington has set, the negro race has, in this portion of Alabama, made wonderful strides morally, mentally and financially in the last decade, and I believe that the results of his work are just beginning to show." The colored people are more amenable to training and education than some are willing to concede, writes a correspondent of the Houston (Tex.) Post. Yet these same people will demand the most rigid punishment for the negro criminal, showing that they regard the negro as being morally accountable and culpable. In slavery the black people received excellent training. American negro slavery was really a school, a primary school of civilization for savage Africans. The old master wrought well and the negroes still bear the impress of their teaching, in that the great majority are hard working people, a lesson and habit learned in slavery. Slavery was not a vast convict camp, as some thought, where negroes were driven friendlessly to even the lightest task. Scottish fields annually produce about 250,000 tons of fuel oil. White women in all parts of the world are opening millinery shops. I want to see a large number of our bright ambitious colored women do the same thing. There are openings for starting 1,500 millinery stores. We already have over 350 drug stores, but 1,000 more could be started and would be sustained. We have already more than 60 negro banks, but 150 additional banks should be organized. In cities like Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, Washington, Memphis, New Orleans, Atlanta, Charleston, Savannah and Mobile three or four banks in each city properly organized and conducted could be supported. The land, the forests, the minerals, the streams, sun and rain from which original wealth comes draw no color line.—Booker Washington. Ebony is always soaked in water for from six to 18 months as soon as cut. It comes chiefly from Mauritius and the East Indies. Exports of champagne from France average from 32,000,000 to 35,000,000 bottles annually. Although there are nearly 53,000,000 sheep in the United States, they represent less than five per cent. of the total number of domestic animals on the country's farms. In China a man cannot, by will, dispose of his land in favor of 'any one person, whether relative or stranger; it must be distributed among all his male children without exception. The Chinese have many uses for empty tin cans, fashioning them into various household utensils. Horace Greeley's "Go west, young man," finds a parallel in the summons of the great leader of the American negro to "Go south." In Booker T. Washington's recent letter to the Times he set forth the peculiar advantages to black men inherent in the southern field. It is a great empire, equaling Austria, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain combined, filled with people who understand the negroes and who are anxious to have them aid in the development of the south's rich natural resources. In the cotton-growing states, especially, he says, labor has "sought the colored man, rather than his having to seek labor." One hardly ever finds a member of the once enslaved race who has not paying employment ready to his hand. He adds: "There are places for at least 700, 000 independent, self-supporting negro farmers. When I was in the far west recently nothing impressed me more than to note the large number of educated white men who were beginning life as farmers. Often they started in a little hut or 'dugout,' and suffered many privations, but they were sticking to it. These are the people who in the future make the great kings of industry." Besides the unrivaled agricultural opportunities in the great south, as excellent for the negro as the great west offered to the white pioneers, there are possibilities of manufacturing and trade such as had to be slowly developed in the west. Doctor Washington, after close investigation, enumerates the thousands of openings for the establishment of groceries, shoe stores, dry goods and millinery stores, restaurants, hotels, drug stores and banks, besides the opportunities in the trades. His letter presents a spirit-stirring appeal to the young colored men of the north—New York Times. One excellent feature of the campaign at New York is that it contemplates the diversion of $250,000 of the sum raised to Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. buildings for negroes. One Chicagoan, Julius Rosenwald, has aided this movement notably, having given $50,000 to the New York fund, specifying that his contribution be used for the buildings for the colored people. But it is not only the whites who are active in this excellent movement for the uplifting of the negro race. The negroes of New York themselves are appreciative of the enormous amount of good which these buildings and the ethical and moral efforts which will center in and about them will do for their race and they are supporting the movement enthusiastically and vigorously. Much of the money contributed for the negro branches has been given by negroes, testifying at once to their enthusiasm for substantial betterment of their race and the progress it has already made. This means much, for as "God helps those who help themselves," the negroes are evidently not counting upon Providence and the generosity of their white neighbors alone to improve their condition, but are giving vigorous and constant aid to the uplift movement themselves, not only by contributing of their substance to further it but by leading fives which demonstrate the worthiness of its purpose. Sydney lighthouse has the most powerful electric light on any lighthouse—130,000-candle power. The growth of the mulatto population is the most hopeful sign in relation to the problem of the colored man in this country, said Prof. Frank Boas of Columbia university, in a lecture in the University Museum at New York. The lecture was the second of a course on "American Race Problems." He said; "The greatest handicap under which the colored man works is his importation into this country, where he has a new and strange environment. The native African has a high mentality in comparison with that of many of the primitive peoples of Europe. He has developed a high degree of culture in districts absolutely remote from the white man's influence. Professor Boas showed stereopticon views of basket work, wood carving and pottery of native Africans, illustrating the high degree of art and workmanship attained by primitive tribes. Native literature, he said, compared favorably with that of Europe in its early stages. More than 600,000 men are employed in working the railways of the United Kingdom. Official German statistics show that the average yearly income of the railway maintenance workers in Baden is $260, in Wurtemberg $250, in Bavaria $230, in Saxony $335, in Prussia $210. Kindergartens in Worcester, Mass. cost on an average $31.56 a pupil for the year, elementary grades cost $54.01, high schools $66.50. The earth and rock taken out of the Panama canal would fill a tunnel 14 feet in diameter bored through the earth at the equator. THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO. The Denver is a "Store for Everybody."

It is a tribute to the officers and members of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association, of Denver, Colorado, that in a city noted the world over for its hospitality, it has been accorded first honors as a place of social amusement and relaxation. Colorado is the Switzerland of America. Its snow-clad hills and verdant valleys, its charming resorts, its rugged beauty are famous the world over. Denver, its capital, is one of the most beautiful cities in America. Matchless in climate, situated where first the eternal snowy hills rear their snowy tops to the heavens, it has long been the mecca of visitors. Its people have been well trained in hospitality, and of that training the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association is the highest expression. In offering to the public this set of interior views of its home, the Board of Directors of the Association have only one regret, that they cannot reproduce in black and white the cordial good fellowship that exists among the members, and the hearty welcome which is accorded visitors. The limitations of the camera are understood, so that they will convey an idea of the building and accommodations, but words cannot take the place of the handshake, the smile and friendly greeting. Therefore the Association extends to all men of good character a cordial invitation to visit the Association quarters while in Denver, and assures them that their inspection is no intrusion, but, on the other hand, will give it an opportunity for doing for them the duty which Denver lays upon its citizens. It is the spirit of good fellowship that has made the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association a factor in Denver life, though it is only a year and a half old, and it has occupied its present quarters, 2014 Champa street, since April, 1910. In that time it has grown to 900 members, a part of whom are non-residents, being accorded the privileges of the Association under the provisions of the by-laws relative to non-resident members. It is not the desire to burden you with facts and figures, but to entertain you—on paper now, and in the hope that some day we may entertain you in person. Therefore let's make an inspection of the Association quarters. The Rocky Mountain Athletic Association is housed in a twenty-room two-story brick building situated at 2014 Champa street, Denver, Colorado, on a plot of ground 50x125 feet, one block from the new postoffice now building in preparation for its occupancy this building was remodeled a year ago.
