Duridg the war, our great battleships
and cruisers were painted sort of nvis-
! ible green, a color most difficult 10 dis
tingulsh at little distance. Now that
peace has come. they are being painted
| white once more. 1t is pretty conceit
to look upon the white ships as notice
teat they are no longer angry, that all
their thunoers are hushed, and that they
are as harmless as is Gen. Shattey a.

Colorado has seized upon an idea that
vigorously pushed is one of the things
that will most materially aid in mining
developmeDt-it Is the tunnel. Colorado
minors have dropped on" the fact that
the twin expenses of hosting and dispos-
ing of water can in no other way be SO
simply solved as by tunneiing, Tunnel
enterprises are springing up in every
part of that states mining counties, and
though, Of course, like any other good
thing the idea can be oyefworked, yet
the scheme has SO many manifest advan-
tagc, that it is descrvediy favorite.

Ton or twelve years ago one would see
all over the range what was known as
the long horn Texas cattle, or now called
common cattle. at the present time it is
unusual to sec herd of long horns"
tho native or better grades, such as
Herefords, Shorshorns etc, having taken

the wonderful transformation that has
taken place within few years. Twelve
years ago cattle were allowed to hustle
for them selves and were never bothered
only at the time of the annual roundup:
now the cattle are better cared for and
the weak ones pastured and fed through

cattle by the thous sands, and one or two
hundred head made no difference in the
count: now nearly every cattleuaan has
his cattle under his personal supervision
and not ons may die or stray away that
tbe owner does not know of it at once.
The change il for the better. The cateie
business is nov well managed and sure
money maker. while in days gone by 1t
was largely on the severity OF the winters
The "old range days" have gone never to
