"RiCHeST IN THE UNION" :"

SIR. Eckels Gives the State of Colorado
Another Chuck Under the Chin.
p Upon his return to Washington from
his western trip, Mr.. Eckels in an inter.
view said: ..... .. ..#
"In Colorado there are actually more
men at work in the mines than ever be-
fore in The history of the state, notwith.
standing the fact that many silver mines
have been compelled to close. Some Of
the silver mines, however, are running,
and are doing we'll by getting out the
lead deposits. The price of lead has ad.
vanced sharply, and as great many Of
the silver mines are also lead bearing
properties their owners are working them
at profit. i.sl 5r
Q ut would be foolish to attempt to deny
the fact that the people of that section
are attached to silver. and to any policy
which would seem to be in its interest
They are hoping that something may be
done to raise the price of silver. but in
the meantime they are not sitting down
idly and holding their hands.
"They are developing every resource
of the state, and Colorado is one of the
richest in the Union. / believe that it
will be possible for the state to produce
within its borders every staple that its
people need. Manufacturing:enterp rises
are springing up on every hand, and with
wool at their very doors. woolen mills
are running at profit.
"The agrie ultural interests of Colorado
are being rapidly developed by the, aid
of irrigation. The president of the Den
yer & Rio Grande railroad told me that
four years ago he endeavored to bring to
Denver one car load OF Colorado fruit
and could not get it. Now the road
transports hundreds of cars of the finest
fruits, as It has been found that they can
be raised in Colorado"

stand around on curb stones in mud.holes
or in inches deep in dust, hour by hour,
or going from one street corner to an
other, jostled about by the surging
crowds; doing this every morning, after
noon and night tor three consecutive
days and nights; all trying to find what
they had come so tar to see. | am still
wondering, for | slgnally failed to dis
cover the attraction.
Take for instance the exhibition on the
streets Wednesday afternoon. No one
could witness such scene as that with
out feeling that they lowered themselves
in their own estimation to marked de-
gree. Think of it. Ten thousand people,
all Gods children, Disgusting themselves,
each one trying to look mere hideous
than his neighbor. parading the streets
for five hours without ceasing, giving
themselves up to utter abandonment
men and women alike; what could their
mental conditions be except degradation.
We believe in amusements. The people
must have it. But let It be of an intel
lectual uplifting order. If the manage
ment Of the Mountain and Plains festival
take pleasure in quilting" the citizens Of
Colorado, outside of Denver, they are
surely congratulatlng themselves now
over the simple fact of how easily it has
been accomplished. Take our own little
city as sample. Over 2,oco tickets
were sold, and it is safe to say that the
amount Of money spent in Denver would
average S to each person buying a
ticket. Tha, would be $4,000 for Den
yer from this little town, and when we
consider that there were tleast seventy.
FIVE or hume red thousand people con-
gregated there from outside places, we
can readily understand what the Noun
tain and Plains festival means TO the
people of Denver.
In the Sunday morning News, October
10, we noticed something like this:
Judging from the immense number of
packages carried by the passengers on
the outgoing trains Friday and Saturday,
the merchants in the outside towns will
have little or no business for months to
come" These are the kind of straws
that show which way the wind blows.
In looking over the dense crowds of peo-
pie, going this way and that, l was re.
minded of lecture | once heard by P.
T. Barnum, his subject was The Pursuit
of Happiness" Seriously speaking there
was nothing offered by the committees
that could in any way be considered an
equivalent for the time and money spent
by the many. many visitors. We thought
OF some line of an old song: Il looked
over yonder and what did | seer" But
instead of the answer, only the echo
came back 70 me, "WhAt did seer"

a door for the especial convenience of
people mailing newspapers and pack
ages, and to have an asphalt pavement
laid on the south side yof the building,
etc. But the applications for these sew
eral things were denied because the bai-
ance Of the appropriation was not suf-
ficient to cover them; and only those re-
quests were granted which were the
most important, as shelving in the base
ment, bins to hold the mail of dealers in
various lines, and other main points
work on which will be carried to finish
as rapidly as possible. For those in

Abbott had been there a few minutes
before and had left the medicine, an old

drinks. The officer found the man a few
minutes later on the street and placed

FIESTA PARK CHANGES
Preparations for the Coming Produc.
ton Of Faust


Great changes have been made in
Fiesta park in the last few weeks, the
classic precincts of the abode of the
goddess of flowers on floral day of last
Fiesta have been invaded by vandals
with saw and hammer, paint brush and
colors, grading outfits and electricians
galore. The broad stretch Of seats on the
west side has been canopied, and is now
protected from the sun as we'll as the
dew. Two large sections have been
transformed into forty-eight comfort
able boxes. with six seats each. A quar-
ter-mile driving track has been graded
on which the Roman chariot races will
take place next Saturday evening In
the center a large space has been ex-
cavated and filled with water, making
beautiful lake of water. in which the
gigantic scenery and fireworks will be
reflected, From the spectators seats
looking across the vista will be seen the
gigantic model OF German village of
Medieval times, the lofty mountains in
the rear.
Here in the public square will take
place the meeting of Faust aud Mar
guerite. the temp cation of Fau1tus, the
electrical duel and the village fete well
coming home the young Valentine from
the wars. The speciality acts and the
grand ballet and soldiers chorus. The
scenery used on this stage is the largest
and most elaborate ever put up this side
of New York and Boston. Twenty arc
lights make the scenes as bright as day.
In the rear of the village is the lofty
Brockep. from whose heights Mephisto
watches the revels Of his imps, and
from which elevation the dragon makes
his flight. 1t is a wonderful metamor-
phosis, and will certainly be as enter
