THE WORK OF THE spANiARDs,

Williamantic. Conn, Feb, E,-Captain
Paul Boynton. the swimmer, believes that
the blowing UP of the Maine was the
work Of Spaniards, Captain Boynton said:
"The torpedo could have been floated
from skin with line and catch that
would stop It In the anchor chain; then,
by playing out the line attached to the
torpedo for the distance that had already
been determined between the anchor
chain and boat, the torpedo could be
brought alongside of the vessel and ex-
ploded in two different ways, There
might have been screw attached, sim
liar to the screw OF a propeller, and the
moment the torpedo stopped moving and
was brought with head to the current
the screw would revolve and, after max
ing a certain number of revolutions
would release pin within the torpedo
and cause the explosion Another meth
cd would be by clock mechanism, This
could be done in a most innocent appear
ing way"

Boulder looks forward hopefully to the
coming year, 1899, as holding great
promise for the city and county. In
mining, farming, stockralsing, hortlcul.
ture-in fact every industry, the progress
of the past year bespeaks even greater
advances for the coming one. The new
railroad has played an important func-
ton in developing the mining district
through which it runs, and its further ex
tension to Eldora and perhaps to the
park beyond, holds untold advantages
for Boulder city and county. Tie heavy
and continued SHOWS of this winter
means plenty of water for irrigation next
spring, and should the spring weather be
at all auspicious, the results will be un-
precedented. The doubling up of cat
tie and sheep raising in the county this
past year will bear even further expan
sion and our northern nelghbors exam
pie will not have been set in vain. The
extension of educational facilities is al
ready producing marvellous effects in at
tracing tourists and educational people
here, and the greater increase Ct the
popularity of Boulder as residence city
is no remote event. In short Boulder
has future. and it is pessimist indeed
