who have been called. as / had. to
leave their pleasant homes and low
ing wives and precious children to 20
abroad and proclaim the Gospel to the
honest in heart and warn the wicked
TO repent and serve the living God. I
and my companions have been very
busy in the labors assigned us. We
have travelled over considerable coun-
try. visited a great many families.
distributed great deal of literature
and have held two public meetings at
Cofax. We have sOwn the good seed
among the people and under the bless
ings of God have caused a spirit of
inquiry to go abroad among the peo>
pie. Many honest souls are Investigate.
Ing the message we bear, We have had
much to contend with, as we are the
first Elders that have ever visited
these parts, but the Lord has been with
us and raised UP friends to minister
to us in time of need, for which we are
truly thankful.
1t is a glorious thing to be Latter
day Saint and to know that God blesses
us, but no one thoroughly enjoys that
happy feeling until he Is called on Il
mission, responds to the call and gets
the spirit Of his mission.

oiutlon calling upon the president
10 demand peace. But the offering
OF such resolution, and its adop-
ton by the Senate, would not change
the present status particle. So
long as the republicans in the House
stifie their opinions and vote as Car
Reed dictates it is useless for the
Senate to do anything about Cuba,
In the course of one of the strong
est speeches, yet made against the
annexation of Hawaii, Senator
White, of CAL, the new chairman
OF Democratic Congressional Cam
paigh Committee, took occasion to
say, that he did not believe a word
OF the stories about the sugar trust
being opposed to annexation, and
to call attention to the fact that some
Senators who have generally been
credited with sustaining friendly
relations with the sugar trust were
strongly in favor of annexation.
The significant occurrence connect
ed with the resumption OF the con-
sideration of the annexation treaty
by the Senate was the voting down
of the motion of Senator Thurston,
OF Nebr., to postpone its further
consideration until March I. The
motion was made by Thurston be-
cause he did not wish the treaty
considered while Mr.. Dole, the
President of Hawaii, remained in
Washington. No record vote was
taken, the motion being defeated by
a rising vote. Although this Incl.
dent indicates that Thurston will
vote against the treaty, sixty votes
are claimed for it by Senator Davis.
The vote is some weeks off, how.
ever, itpresent plans are carried out
The latest ukase of the Car ot

River and Harbor appropriation bill
at this session of Congress. Thi:
has caused a lot of profanity, as i,
had been understood by member.
Of the River and Harbor committee
and others that bill carrying moi
to exceed $I2, 900, 900 would be al
lowed to pass, and the committee
had practically completed such {
bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The sen.
ate committee on appropriations
has agreed to amend the Indian ap-
preparation bill so as to authorize
the appropriation of $r5o,ooo of the
funds of the Southern Utes for the
purchase ofwater for irrigation. 1t
is estimated that this money will |
buy water for 10000 acres. The a.
mendment was made upon repre-
sentation of Senator Teller and in
opposition to the suggestion of the
sectary of the interior.
The committee will also recon-
mend the ratification of the agree
ment with the Utah Indians, by
which the Uncompahgres are to be
merged with the Uintahs on the res
ervation of the latter. The time for
opening the Uncompahgre reserva-
tion is, by the same bill, to be ex-
tended six months after the first of
April next.-Durango Democrat.

AGrTLE INFORMATION.

WHEN we landed in Dolores on
the first of last October we had some
misgivings as to whether or not we
would be able to make a stick of it
and get THE SILVER STAR on
a paying basis, but to clear away any
doubt that may exist in the mind
of any one, we are pleased to an
nounce that THE SILVER STAR is
now on a paying basis and, what's
more, is here to stay. During the
months Of December and January
the paper has paid all running and
living expenses Of it's owner and
IN January left small profit. This
month it starts out with brighter
prospects and. unless something out
Of the ordinary turns up, a new
press will be put in, in the near fu-
turc and the paper will all be print
ed at home. The subscription list
has been steadily increasing during
the past three months and If it con-
tinues we will be able to give our
readers one the best country papers
published in Colorado. But don't
think that because the paper is now
on paying basis that it Is not nee.
essary to patronize it longer. Most
anybody can do little more busi-
ness IL they can get it.
