ITS COLONY IN COLORADO
Colonel Holland Tells Of the Salvation
Army's Rocky Ford Farm Plans

A thin little man, with long, straight
black hair. black mustache and small,
snappy black eyes, walked about among
the horses and mules at live stock mar
ket near Grand and Missouri avenues yes
terday afternoon. Now and then the lit
tie man stopped to examine a horse; to
look closely at it's feet and eyes and teeth
He knew a good horse when he saw one
too.
II have bought eighteen horses today
said the little man, Col. Thomas Holland
the national secretary of the colonization
department of the Salvation army, land
l expect to purchase eight or ten more
The horses are for the colony our army is
establishing in Powers county, Colo. We
own GAO acres of fine land there and we con.
troll 1000 acres besides. The land is similar
to that around Rocky Ford The land will
be divided into small ten acre garden plots
and each colonist who settles there will be
given plot Of ground. Then too, we in
tend providing all the colonists with farm
I ing outfits. We will build them houses and
barns, give them a horse, a COW, two hogs
and half dozen chickens apiece and pro-
vide them with plows. cultivators and nn
abundance of small farm tools. We intend
starting a cooperative store for the col
onists and giving them a share in the prof
it's of it. The store will be cooperative
but 1t will not be managed on the commun-
ity plan so popular in England and Ger
many. Neighboring farmers will be en-
| couraged to purchase at the store"
"How many colonists will settle on the
farm you speak Off" he was asked.
I'VE hope in a month to have 100 fam
lilies or about 500 persons. The first set
tiers will pass through the city next Sun
day. There will be fifteen or twenty in the
party, all of them men. They were gath
cred together In Chicago. All are very
poor, but most of them are earnest honest

will be sent out to them later"

ever, does not include the cost of the land.
for which we paid s25 an acre. Our total
outlay on the Colorado colony, we think.
will be about 100000. OF this sum we ffave
$40, 900 to make a beginning with. If our
venture proves successful we can easily
obtain the remaining 100000.

erence books, there is an interesting eX-

ufacturer of Pittsburg, Pa, Andrew
Carnegie in this country and Scotland.
The collection was loaned by the owners
to Mrs. Horton, member of the library
board in San Diego, who in turn, at the
request of the local board, loaned them to
Los Angeles for short time.
Mr.. Carnegie's gifts have been bestowed
on the following cities: Pittsburg, Alleghe-
ny City, Johnstown, Homestead, Braddock,
Pa; Fairfield, Iowa; Inverness. Ayr, Edin-
burgh Dumferline, Scotland. Some of Mr..
Carnegie's relatives at one time lived in
Fairfield, consequently that pretty little
Iowa town was included in his benefac-
tons. 1t was given with lavish hand. for
the building in addition to a perfect library
equipment, has a museum and a hall for
lectures. All the library buildings given to
the various communities by the millionaire
show them to be handsome in architect
ural design and elegant in all their ap-
pointments. Several interior views are
given of the Chicago and congressional IL
braries.
1t is gratifying to see so large a number
of beautiful buildings that have been given
by other public spirited citizens in various
towns and cities of our own country, some
as memorials to parents and friends, 9TH
ers as free and generous gifts. Since 1890
SIG, 900 have been given in the United
States in free public libraries, Of which
81, 260 900 has been in the Middle West, &c.
so, 500 in Atlantic states. In the past eight
years the Middle West leads, but since free
library giving began in this country the
state of Massachusetts is ahead of all 9TH
ers in the union. Since 1851 citizens of the
Golden state have given 80, 2260OO to free IL
braries, which, all things considered is not
very creditable showing.
When the cramped quarters of the Los
Angeles library are considered and the
wealth of historical material the Historical
society, for lack Of better accommodations,
is obliged to stow away in the court house
attic, and the fine collections that are only
waiting space in museum, are remember
ed, 1t is a matter of regret that some of
Mr.. Carnegie's relatives have not taken a
fancy to make a. home in Los Angeles.

MASTERING IN
Only Two States Have Sent in Their
Reports

WASHINGTON, May 3.-According to
advices heretofore received by Adjutant-
General Corbin, the mastering of the SOL
diers of the volunteer army was to begin
in most of the states today. AS soon as this
formality is accomplished they become
regular United States troops, available for
any service which the president may call
upon them to perform. Up to the close of
office hours, however reports on that sub
ject had been received only from Massa-
chusetts and Arizona. With the limited
force in charge of this work at the various
rendezvousing points, the mastering in will
necessarily take from two days to ten or
more, according to the size of the states
quota. One regiment day is considered
very fair progress. The officials are now
giving their attention to questions of mob
ilization, transportation and subsistence,
and by the time the soldiers are ready to
move, these questions will have been set
tied.
