Rou1evard Imnrovement.

Mr.. Jos. A. Potts has undertaken
the Improvement of the west half
mile of the Boulevard, and this
morning put his own men and
teams to work upon this long neg
lected but beautiful drive. Mr..
Potts is of the opinion that the per-
sons who donated this land for
Boulevard purposes have been
treated shabbily in SO long delay
ing the matter of fixing it up for
driving, for which the land was
given. MIR Potts went before the
County Court and asked assistance,
which was promised, and he thinks
with a little aid from parties inter-
ested the west end can be made as
fine, if not a better drive than the
east end. The land was cleared of
all trees, stumps, and other obstruc-
tions last year with money collect
ed at that time, and Mr.. Potts be-
lieves that $40 or s25 in cash, with
the work of his teams and the aid
of the County Court, will put it in
elegant shape. Those inclined to
aid in the matter will please confer
with Mr.. Potts at once, as the work
must be completed in as short time
as possible. All persons owning
driving horses are interested and
should help the work along.
Money has been collected to inn
prove the east half mile, and Mr..
R. E. Hisey, who has the work in
charge, will have men and teams
on the ground tomorrow morning
ready for business. If the street
car track does run acress the east
end it will not injure the driveway
materially.

Judge COoley's Opinion.

ALBANY, Jan. 16.-Chairman Cooley, OF
the inter state commission, spoke at the
annual meeting of the State Bar associa-
ton last night on the subject of Com
parative Merits of the Written and I'm
written Constitution" Referring to the
matter OF inter state commerce he says in
substance: 1t may be that by and by the
federal legislature in surveying the field
OF the inter state commerce and taking
notes how the state commerce marches
on and intermingles with it, will come to
the conclusion that separate regulation of
the state commerce must, to some extent,
at least, be inconsistent with complete
federal regulation OF commerce, that is
inter state, and should the conclusion be
reached federal legislation is not unlikely
to take to itself complete regulation of
the whole OF it. To do so it will but add
another illustration to history, which
shows how vast is the edilice which may
be erected within the bounds of
a single federal power which at first
seemed of little importance.

BIG DEAL IN THE SAN LUIS.
Pittsburg Capitalists Make a Heavy In
vestment-Improveme Going on.

DENVER, Jan. ia number of Pitts
burg capitalists have just concluded the
purchase of large tract of land in the
San Luis vally in the immediate vicinity
OF Alamosa. They have formed syndi-
cate which will be known as the Ale
gheny improvement company, and the
purchase was made from the Empire
Land & Improvement Company of Colo
RADIO, for the cash sum of $4,000. This
IS the largest cash sale ever made in Colo
RADIO outside of the city OF Denver. The
tract comprises $3.50 acres of agricul-
tural land around the city of Alamosa,
including some town property.
The company propose to fence the land,
dividing the same into farms of equal pro-
portions, and otherwise improving the
same for the purpose of renting to desir-
able and thrifty farm tenants ut nom-
inal figure. Arranged in the manner
which the company is projecting some
forty iarlners will thus be accommodated,
establishing homes for themselves and
families.
Henry A. Buffers, who has concluded
the, sale for 7. c.. Henry, representing
the Empire Land q Improvement COM
pany, arrived in Denver yesterday. Mr..
Buffers said:
"Alamosa and the surrounding country
is looking up wonderfully this season.
Not only are outsiders seeking investment
in this desirable section of the San Luis
Valley, but the residents of the town,
business men, clerks and railroad en-
ployees are putting their money into real
estate there, and the prospect is for big
boom for that locality this spring. pre-

country around Alamosa will make q
showing of at least 5000 acres of grain,
over and above that of last year, this Sec
ton being especially adapted to the rails

erty included in the recent purchase en-

Railroad Telegraphers and the Order of
Commercial Telegraphers. None of the

latter.

CARE OF THE INDIANS.
Interesting Recommendations of the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.--Commission
er of Indian Affairs Oberly, in his an
nual report discusses the act of June 30,
1888, by which the authority and duties of
the superintendent of Indian schools We're
extended. The commissioner reaches the
conclusion that the most natural, econom-
ical and effective administration of In
dian schools will be secured by enlarging
the prerogatives of the superintendent;
first, by placing under his immediate
charge all matters connected with all
branches of Indian education, instead of
restricting him to two lines of work in
connection with but one class of schools,
and second, by providing that he shall
perform the official functions necessaryin
charge of such enlarged duties through
the bureau of Indian affairs, under which
arrangement the commissioner of Indian
affairs may place at the disposal of the
superintendent the entire official machin-
cry of the bureau by the use of which
nearly all the business in relation to In
dian schools is and must be transacted.
The commissioner recommends some
important changes in the methods of
making purchases OF Indian supplies. A
much more satisfactory method, he
thinks, would be for the Indian bureau
to submit to bidders standard sample of
each article, instead of having submitted
to it a large variety of samples of each
article. Thus the question OF price would
at once have to be considered in award
ing contracts, and nothing more would be
required of the commissioner than the
making of an award to the lowest bidder
In conclusion the commissioner said
the Indian is coming to appreciate the
fact that he must become civilized. Must
as he explains it, learn the white mans
way or perish from the face of the earth.
He should be taught how to work, and
all schools that are open for his children
should be schools in which they will be
instructed in the use of agricultural and
mechanical implements, and the Indian
should be taught not only how to work,
but also that it is his duty to work, for the
defrauding communism OF the terrible res
ervation system gives to the individual
no incentive to labor, but puts premium
upon idleness and makes it fashionable.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-The general ex-
pectat.on in the House is that one of Presi-
dent Harrison's first acts will be to call an
extra session of the next congress for April
!. The Indiana republicans in the House,
all of whom are IN communication with
Gen. Harrison, and some Of whom have re-
Gently seen him, say that there is very little
doubt that Gen. Harrison will call the extra
session. He does not think. they say, that
the possible personal discomfort to himself,
which seems to be the chief reason against
an extra session, should be allowed 10 out
weigh the probable advantages of such &C
ton to the Republican party.
THE ADVANTAGES.
First of all would be, of course, the or
ganization of the House, and the realiza-
ton of ultimate majority which
will give tie republicans permanent con-

CAPT. LEARY's LOST LETTERS.
A Suspicion That the Germans May
| ave DELAYED Them.


SAN Francisco, Feb. 12.-Capt. Leary,
who commanded the United States man-of-
war Adams at Samoa, and to whose prompt
action is ascribed the failure of the Ger
mans to make open war on the natives until
after his departure, has learned since his
arrival here that important letters were adj
dressed to him by Rear Admiral
Kimberly and by the state depart
ment, which failed to reach him,
but that other mail matter sent at
the same time and ordering him to cruise n
other waters did reach him. He is now
instituting an inquiry as to the cause OF his
failure to receive his mails. The poSJofhce
at ADia is in the hands of the Germans, and
all mail matter, whether adore ,sed to
officials or private parties is handled by
them.
HOW THE MAILS ARE CARRIED.
The mails are carried from here by the
Oceanic line of steamers, and dropped at
the is and of Tutuia, where t1ey are takel
on board by German schooner for Ap.a,
sixty miles distant An American II an
Of war took all the official mail from Apia
to meet the steamer at Tutula on her way
to Sa Francisco in order 10 prevent the
possibility of the Germans tampering with
the mails At the request of the America
on the islands, many of the letters which
went on the steamship Alab ana were
inclosed in envelopes addressed to
the American consul at Tutuila.
Complaint has frequently been made that
mail intended for American citizens at
Apia has be n delayed and at times alto
gether withheld by the German aut orr
ties. Capt. LeaTy is prosecuting an inquiry
whether his official mail was tampered
