IRRIGATION.
System of Watering the Arid Lands
Has Reached Perfection.

The Colorado farmer is highly fortu-
nate In that he is never forced to lose
the fruits Of a years industry through
crop failure. In no state in the Union,
with the possible exception of Califor-
mia, Is irrigation so extensively carried
on. Each year the system is being per-
fected and as the farmers become ed
ucated to the necessity for economy
in the use of the water, equal results
are obtained with much less waste
than in former years and consequently
more land is made available for culti-
walton.
The irrigated sections are constantly
increasing and systems of reservoirs
for storing flood waters are being pro-
jected on large scale,

Denver Is distributing point for the
whole Rocky mountain region in the
line Of tea, coffee and spices. The local
houses are large importers of this class
of goods, and the best obtainable can
always be found in stock. There are

PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

The private schools of Denver are not
surpassed by any other institutions Of
an educational character in the West.
They are, in every way equal to the
splendid public school system of the
state.
Garvis Hall, situated In Montclair, Is
an Episcopalian institution.
Wolfe Hall, for young ladies, is a
handsome stone building in the exclu-
sive portion OF Capitol Hill. 1t has ac-
commodations for 300.

large and costly warehouses, where
Is kept very large supply of the
wares and goods incident to the bust

MUSICAL SUPPLIES.

Denver is city with large musical
population and naturally there are in
the city large business interests that ca
ter to this most commendable taste.
The music stores in Denver are many
in number and some of them are col
lossal in size. In them every kind of
musical composition can be bought and
the finest and most varied of instru-
ments. All the Mountain West comes
to Denver for its musical supplies.

Perfect Telephone System in Force
in Denver.
The telephone system reaching out
from Denver is one of the best possess
ed by any state of proportionate age
and population in the United States.
When 1t is considered that the Colora-
do Telephone company has 10000 miles
of wire stretched in the state the mag
nitude of it can best be established.
From its appurtenances $500 subscrib-
ers can be reached from Denver in a
single day. The superintendent esti-
mates that 10000 people-but of course
these are not all ubscribers-employ 1t

Most Important.
Colorado's Area is over 100, 900 square
miles, nearly twice that Of all New
England. OF this great region, the east
ern part, one-third OF the entire state,
is rolling plain, the easttrn border Of
which is $500 feet and the western,
where 1t touches the foothills, 1000 to
5000 feet above sea level. The mount
ain system which covers the western
two-thirds of the state Is too complex
to admit Of brief description. 1t is
enough to say that behind the high
ramparts of the front range four great
parks of valleys or mountain basins
stretch north and south across the state,
with an elevation, as to their rolling or
level floors, of from 1000 to 5000 feet,
and that between these and the states
western boundary are many mountain
ranges and isolated peaks rising out of
wide olateaus. In and out of this 60, 900
square miles of mountain, park and

how disastrous will be McKinley's poll
cy of blindly carrying out the corrupt
bargains made by Hanna with the
Southern negroes in the st. Louis con-
vention and in the last campaign, by
which McKinley's nomination and
election were secured. Mr.. Mckinley
may consider that he is paying off debts
of honor by carrying out Hanna's foul
bargains, but he should bear in mind
that he owes something to the country
as well as to these purchasable negro
politicians, and that in these Southern
appointments he is adopting a retro
grade policy that is calculated to re-
verse Southern progress and prosper
ity for decade at least and affect the
balance of the country in proportion.

THE HUNTER CASE.

Another instance of how hard it is to
bring legislative briber and corrup-
ZIONIST to justice is shown in the Hun
ter case in Kentucky, which has fiz-
zled out, Just as most of such cases
do, because it is almost impossible to
secure conviction when it is for the
interest of those most directly con-
cerned to conceal the facts, and what
evidence can be obtained is nearly al
ways of hearsay nature.
In the Kentucky Senatorial fight
last winter and spring charges were
freely banded between the rival
Republican factions of attempts
to buy legislative votes for the
candidates of each faction. FL
nally the charges against Hunter
we're so positive and circumstantial
hat they could not be ignored. ard
indictments against Hunter and others
for attempted bribery were returned.
Inc trial came to an end last week.
The evidence was conclusive that there
had been much talk about bribery. but
when it came to fastening actual at
tempts at buying legislative votes on
the accused the usual difficulty was
encountered with the addition of u2
mlstakable perjury. The leading wit
nesses on either side fatty contradict
ed each other, under oath, upon points
on which the explanation of mistake or
defective memory cannot be accepted.
One side or the other must have will
fully lied on the witness stand, and
each set of witnesses swore that the
other set lied and knew they lied.
1t is not to be wondered at that the
jurymen were puzzled All the parties
concerned are men of position in the
party and in their respective commu-
mites, and it was hard for the iurvmen
to determine which were liars and per-
Jurors and which told the truth, Az
ter considerable deliberation they de-
i cided to give the accused the benefit

A DESTRUCTIVE BLAZE.

A one-story frame house on the
Mertz farm, about midway between
Bellaire and Bridgeport, took fire last
night about eight o'clock. The build
ing was old and burned SO rapidly that
when discovered it was found useless
to call for assistance from the fire de-
partment, and the structure was allow
ed to burn to the ground. The house
contained three rooms and was occupi-
ed by an emp!oye Of the Aetna-Stand-
ard mill and his family. AS no one
was at home when the fire broke out,
there is strong belief that it was of in
cendiary origin. The blaze attracted
the attention of many people on both
sides of the river.
