Colorado Letter.
NUMBER ~,

The San Louis Valley is tract
of country along the southern
boundary Of Colorado and comprises
an area of $4,000 acres of land.
This valley is supposed to have been
the bed of a mountain lake and
drained centuries ago by some up
heaval in nature, in the chemical de-
rangcments or alteration by the
Creator. 1t has a rich, black soil
from two to SIX feet deep underlaid
with limestone, and when stirred and
watered 10y the steady farmer it pro-
duces most wonderful crops of every
kind adapted to this climate. This
soil has TO be irrigated. This valley
is surrounded on every side by noun
tains and hundreds Of small streams
put out from these montains making
irrigation in most places an easy
matter, besides these streams, am
informed that flowing wells are OBJ
tanned at nominal depth sufficient
for irrigating purposes. At Allan
ooso they have an eight inch pile
we'll that is said to throw volume
of water sixty feet high.
This park or valley is traversed by
the Denver and Rio Grand Il. Il.
coming up through the valley pass
from Pueblo and as it reaches the
summit it has an elevation OF 5000
feet above the sea level. The writer
first went through this pass in 1862
enroute for Fort Garland, then
military post. Seventeen miles from
Fort Garland towers the lofty dome
of Sierra Blanca said to be the
highest mountain in the United
States save one, its height being
1850 feet above the sea. Two
thirds Of this mountain is above tie
line where timber will grow, the
lower portion is thickly covered
with pine and spruce as it is all
along the foot hills in every direc.
ton. This valley is drained by the
Rio Grand river which affords i'm.
mense water pawer and for the pur.
pose of irrigation. | am creditably
Informed there is still large amount
of government land yet unclaimed
and good opportunities to purchase
homesteaders rights for less than
the cost of tie improvements.
These foot bills and low mountains
affords grazing for thousands of
head of cattle and sheep and will
no doubt be an open pasture for
many years.

Though the contrary was expected

the different polling places last Mon

the interest was AS great as anywhere

Democrats can we'll ponder over
the words of Major Mckinley in his
inaugural address when he discussed
the gerrymander. Said the Major:
You will be required under the
new census TO redistrict the state for
representative in congress. This
will afford you an opportunity to ar
range the districts SO fair i'll their
relation to the political divisions of
our people that they will stand until
a new census shall be taken. Make
them SO impartial that no future leg
islature will dare disturb them until
a new census and a new congression-
al apportionment will make change
imperative. Extreme partisanship
in their arrangement should be
avoided. There is a sense of fair
play among the people which is
prompt to condemn fragrant misuse
of party advantage at the expense of
popular suffrage. Partisanship is
not to be discouraged but Encouraged
in all things where principle is at
stake put partisanship which would
take from the people their just rep
resentatlon, as in the case of the con.
gressional redstric,ing by the last
legislature, is an abuse of power
which the people are swift to rebuke
You must have observed from the
returns of the last election that the
party which carried the state by a
plurality of more than 1000 and
which received a plurality in fifty
one counties of the lightweight in
Ohio, carried but seven of the con.
gressional districts of the tweDty'one

two-thirds of the congressional dis
tricts, and the majority party only
one-third. 1t will be your duty TO

The general assembly committee
on the revision of thu Presbyterian

ly eliminated it by the adoption of
the following substitute for chapter
u, section 3. 1t reads: "lnfants
dying in their infancy and all other
persons who are not guilty of actual
transgression, are included in the
election of grace and are saved and
regenerated by Christ, through the
spirit who worketh when and where
and how he pleaseth. So also are
all others elected, persons who are
not outwardly called by the ministry
of the Word The eth section of
chapter is was made to read as fol-
lows: "Works done by unregener-
ate men although they may be things
which God commands, and of good
use both to themselves and to others,
and although the neglect of such
things is awful and displeasing to
God, yet because they proceed not
from heart purified by faith, nor
arc done in right manner accord
ing to the word, nor to the glory of
God and do not meet the require
ments Of the divine law hence they
cannot be pleaded as a ground of
acceptance with God" Chapter SO,
section 4, reads as follows: Prayer
is to be made for things lawful and
for all sorts of men living or that
shall live hereafter, but not for the
dead"
The committee on section . of
chapter 4, which treats of pretoria
ton brought in their report today.
After long and vigorous discussion
the following words were adopted
TO express the future doctrin of the
Presby terrain church: "The rest of
mankind God saw fit, according to
the unsearchable counsel Of his will,
whereby he extendeth or withholdeth
mercy as he pleaseth, not to elect
unto eternal life, and then hath he
ordained 10 dishonor and wrath for
their sins to the praise of his glori
Gus justice. Yet hath he no pleasure
in the death of the wick ed, nor is it
his decree, but the wickedness of
their own hearts which restraineth
and hindereth them from accepting
his grace made in the gospel"

THE WOMAN OF FORTY,
A Tribute to the Matured Matron by Ono
Who Has Studied Her.

n TriDute To the Matured Matron by Ono
Who Has Studied Her.
At forty, il ever, the ladies know how
to make the most Of themselves,
which is untrue of the vast majorities
in the twenties. Perhaps at no other
age is the best type of woman moro
strikingly beautiful. She understands
how to exercise her gifts and charms in
most effective fashion.
The grace of perfect self-possession,
often wanting in young women, is hers.
If she was difident, awkward and in
experienced, contact with society has
removed these imperfections. If she
was gushing, emotional. affected and
too talkative. she has corrected these
faults, and is warily winsome where
before she was positively wearisome.
In the normal evolution of taste she
has acquired the rare art of dressing
faultlessly, and so avoiding the detract-
ing infelicities of earlier years. Her
selections Of style, color and material
harmonic with her figure, complexion
and the occasion, and she doesn't look
"a day over thirty"
The woman Of forty is infinitely more
attractive to men than she will be later
in life when her fine complexion fades,
wrinkles leave their year-marks across
her brow. silver threads her glossy
hair, her eyes lose their luster and her
step its sprightliness She may always
be agreeable, but never again SO fas-
cinating.
The woman of forty! She is distract
ing, delightful, divine! Her society ia a
solace which robs remembrance of all
romorse and poverty of all pain. The
spell of her dark, depthless eyes wakens
latent emotions into elastic life. while
the music of her voice thrills and fills
the soul with Joy unspeakable. Grace,
goodness and gentleness supplement
the rare and ravishing beauty of facs
and figure. and her welcoming smile il

and learning and Kingdoms are but

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1l.-United States
District Attorney Earhart yesterday after
noon filed suit in the United States circuit
court for an injunction ordering the strik-
ing unions back to work. The petition
charges the unions with obstructing COM
merce and blockading the business of the
city The charges are brought against the
committee of five of the Amalgamated
council and the different presidents of the
striking unions. The A1nrt ordered the
Offenders to appear in court tomorrow.
Strikers Yielding to Pressure.
Owing to this action and also to other
matters referred to in the following the
strike is expected TO be declared off today.
The arms Of the volunteer militia, which is
to augment the regular state troops, ar
rived yesterday and the troops are in read
mess for action, but the gas and electric
lights were started without any but police
protection and the call for troops was ex-
pected to hinge upon the running of the
street cars. The president OF the street
ear companies could not arrange to start
before today and the attempt was pose
poned until 10 O'Clock this morning. The
first cars will be run on st. Charles avenue,
which is wide enough to permit the move
ment of troops.
Governor and Labor Leaders,
The governor had the arbitration COM
mittee Of the strikers before him last even
ing, and told them what he intended doing
today. He said they were responsible for
the crisis, and the responsibility for any
bloodshed would be upon their heads. The
committee promised to convene the Anal
gamated council last night and decide the
question of calling the strike off The de-
liberation was going on last night, and the
strike Of three weeks duration is likely to
end at any moment.
Negotiations Proceeding.
LATER.-There are conferences going on
between the merchants, the strikers, ard
Governor Foster and his advisers. The
strikers have made a proposition to return
to work almost Internationally. The mer-
chants are considering the proposition, and
it is thought that they will accept it. The
strikers appear to be very restless and tired
OF the fight, and are more than anxious to
end it.
