The association made good
showing from a financial stand

to pay for the grandstand which

intend to make the grandstand a
fixture of the grounds, and to this
end propose to give a grand ball
atthe opera house Tuesday evening,
September 27th, in order TO clear
up small deficit Every citizen
OF La Junta should assist in this
cause. The grandstand must stay
where it is.

A grand ball will be given at the
opera house Tuesday evening,
September 27th, under the aus
pices OF the La Junta Driving Park
Association. The proceeds are to
be utilized in liquidating the bal
ance due on the grand stand, which
the members showed commend
able enterprise in erecting for the
comfort OF patrons OF the recent
race meet 1t is desired to make
the grand stand a permanent fea-
ture Of the grounds, and as the
balance due is a small sum COM
pared to the original cost, the as
sociation should have no difficulty
in raising the necessary amount by
this method.

oar Of the Rsees-An Accident.

The last days meeting OF the
La unta Driving Park Association,
Friday, September 9th, brough,
out much better attendance than
any OF the proceeding days, al
though even then it was not what
it should have been. The merits
Of the programme and the attrac-
tions presented were worthy OF a
much more liberal patronage. The
horsemen present were unanimous
in the opinion that the track was
one OF the best and fastest in the
state, not even barring Denver.
One OF the best horses in attend
ance was Alashtar, owned by A.
P. Helm, the popular Santa Fe
conductor. Alashtar made ex-
cellent time in every event in
which he participated, and would
have proved drawing card had
his merits been better known. He
is OF the famous Wilkes stock, and
half brother OF John r. Gentry,
the PAGER OF national reputation.
He is considered to be a very
promising horse.
The association consider them
selves indebted to Joe Mcdowell,
OF Telluride, Ed Couch, of Wal
senbugh, F. +. Baird, of Colorado
Springs and John Murz of Pueblo,
for their efforts in making the meet
ing success, and the excellent
time made in the various events is
ample evidence of the fact that
they did their parts we'll.

LIE NATIONAL TREAsuRY.
Secretary Gage on Our Financial Condi-
tion, With Estimates to July 1.

L.
WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE testirao-
ny Of Secretary Gage as to the condi-
tion of the treasury and its require
ments in order to meet the monetary
demands of the war as made before the
senate committee on finance was given
TO the public yesterday. The secreta-
ry stated the available balance in the
treasury on April 80 at $179. .832. .472. but
from this it was. he said. necessary to
deduct the $5O.0O0,0OO appropriated for
the national defense. He estimated that
when the deficiencies in the war and
navy departments We're met there
would be an available balance of SOL
100000. The treasurer estimated that
he must have $4,000 900 for a working
balance from day TO day. This would
leave now only $29,O0000O of available
net cash In the treasury but for the
fact that there were some liabilities
that would not be pressed. He thought
that all told the treasury could count
upon available cash to the extent of
SO,OOO,000 above the $1O0, ,OOO, 900 gold re-
serve. Mr.. Gage stated that at the
time his testimony was given none OF
the volunteer forces had become a tax
upon the government. that the entire
l25.0OO men would have to be taken care
of within months time. The best es-
Inmates placed the extraordinary ex-
penses for the war and navy depart
ments at S52.000,000 up to the 1st Of July
next In addition to the $50. 900 900 voted
for national defense. He thought that
from $40. 600 to $50, ,00O 900 in addition
10 the ordinary revenues would have to
be realized between now and July / to
preserve the gold reserve intact. With
out this extra fund he thought the re-
serve would be reduced to the extent of
S30,00O,OO0 leaving Ia the treasury only
S70,0OO,O00 all told at the end of the ns-
cal year.
Mr.. Gage said he knew of no other
method for raising this extra money ex-
cept by taxation or the sale Of bonds.
Senator Turpie asked If he could think
of no other method. It cannot think Of
any other method to which I think It
would be proper and safe for the gov
ernment to resort, except by the issu-
ance Of treasury certificates. I think
IL Is a legitimate operation to borrow
in any way you can make it acceptable
to both parties to the contract"
The secretary refused to furnish an
estimate Of the expense Of the war after
July because he had no data from the
war and navy departments, but he gave
the committee what he called guess"
based on the best information obtaina-
