PROSPERITY is hitting Colorado against her will. All her products except silver are advancing in price, and her gold mines are yield ing stores of wealth beyond the dreams of avarice. Three times as much gold is flowing into the Denver hints these days as went there year ago, and the stream is growing larger and larger.

ONE of the main bogies of the seventeenth century was withch- craft, or demon possession; of the eighteenth, hell of burning brim- stone; of the nineteenth century it has been unionized and monopolized labor and capital, personifed and arrayed one against the other. The latest is the most real bogy of the three, as men can always make a hotter hell for themselves than all the demons of the universe could devise or than just God would otherwise admit.

WE MUST IRRIGATE.

The development of West Texas is a
problem that concerns not only the
people of this generation, but for the
generations to come. Homes for the
people is the great need of the day.
There are several million acres of pub
lie school land and other public lands
in West Texas, a minimum part of
which only can now be rented at the
remarkably low price of three cents
per acre per annum. This is due to
the fact that the rains that fall on
West Texas run to waste and flow
into the sea. The only solution is to
build great reservoirs and store the
waters for use as they may be need

RAILR6ADS SEEK RELIEF.
They vii Have to Change Their Hcket
system Unless Protected by
CnnnreSs

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 28.-Among local
railroad officials the preva ling sentiment
is strongly in favor OF the proposed
amendment to the interstate commerce
fact now pending in the Senate which is
designed to prevent ticket scalping, and
the railway companies are working in
legitimate channels to overcome the COM
bined opposition to the bill. The railway
companies claim that the amendmen
will stop the wholesale fraud practiced on
the companies and the public such as just
been shown by the arrest and Indictment
of gang of scalpers and retainers here
yesterday. This gang is believed to be the
one which was successful in putting out
several undred counterfeit tickets of sup
posed issue OF prominent Western roads
last August and September. These tickets
were honored by nearly every big road
running east and southeast from this city.
The use of this bogus paper represented
loss OF several thousand dollars to the
victimized lines, the m oney going into the
pockets OF scalpers and retainers.
The position of the railway people is
that if they cannot be protected in some
such manner as contemplated by the
pending amendment IN Congress that the
companies will eventually be forced to
discontinue most of their through ticket
| ing arrangements now in effect. The
mum Der of cases of successful counterfeit
ing and sale of such tickets are increasing
apidly, and owing to the fact that it can
be carried on for several months without
discovery it is impossible to bring the
| guilty party to justice.

Administration.
Demand for His Appointment
Came From Men of All
Parties and Rank.
With Perhaps One Exception, Major
M Kinley Has Now Selected All
the Cabinet Members

CANTON, OHIO, Jan. 28.-Lyman ].
Gage will be the next Secretary of the
Treasury. He arrived at Major McKin-
ey's house a few minutes before O'Clock
this afternoon and was warmly welcomed
by the President-elect, who straightway
withdrew with him for private con-
renee which lasted until O'Clock The
President-elect and his Secretar of the
Treasury had private talk, in which they
discussed at length the financial and tariff
policy and considered problems that would
call for i'm mediate solution by means of
legislation. Major Mckinley and Mr..
Gage are thoroughly in accord on all
political, financial and economic questions.
The demand for Mr.. Cages appoint
ment comes from nearly every CONNER
ciaI center in the country and from men,
bers of both parties. He is indorsed not
only by the business world, but by many
labor organizations as well. The direct
statement is made in nearly all the letters
and kilograms which have reached Major
Mckinley respecting Mr.. Gage, that the
direct effect of his appointment will be to
hasten and render certain the restoration
Of confidence. Major Mckinley has been
thinking about Mr.. Gage for several weeks
IN connection with the treasury portfolio,
but has been waiting to learn if he could
accept it. 1t has also been Major McKin-
!ey's intention, from the day he was
elected, 10 choose Western man for Sec
retary of the Treasury, if he could find an
available man.
Mr.. Gage meets ell of the requirements,
out his appointment does not remove
rom the list as Cabinet possibility the
name of Charles Emory Smith, who
would in all probability have been made
Secretary of State if the Office had been
filled by the appointment OF an Eastern
man. 1t may be safely assumed that
Major Mckinley has decided at present
upon six men for his Cabinet, though he
has not formally rendered all of them
portfolios.
The men who are regarded as certain of
appointment are: John Sherman, Ly-
man J. Gage, Nathan Golf, Joseph Nc
Kenna OF California, John d. Long and
James Wilson Of Ohio for Secretary of
Agriculture. General r. A. Ayers ap-
pointment as Secre tary of War is prob
able, but by no means certain. The re-
naming portfolio, which is not likely TO
be rendered by the middle or last OF
February. will doubtless go to a New
Yorker or Pennsylvania.

lied the United Associated Presses to
