men, as rule, resent the giving
of information about their proper
ties ms an intrusion upon their pri-
vate business, but as a rule good
deal of valuable information of II
general character can be given
that would not properly be with
held on the ground named. An
active working association, organ
lied on the lines of the California
association, ought to be product
i've of great good to Colorado. II
there were some central point
where full Information could be
had concerning the uiiferent oir-
trlcts OF the state, together with n
typical exhibit of ores, there is no
doubt that investors would be en-
couraged and a large amount OF
capital attracted hither that n,
present goes elsewhere. A self
sustaining organization could be
easily established if the successful
business element of mining men
would take hold of the matter. -

BIC BANQUET BBAA\IQQU
The Chamber of Commerce En-
ferfains al fhe Fremont
AN ELABORATE PROGRAM.

l0bhbiN th' ulpSb pli'iullt hiihii
of its kind ever held in the town
of Florence was the reception and
banquet given at the Fremont ho-
tel last night, by the Chamber of
Commerce.
AT eight o'clock the guests be
gan TO arrive and soon had full
possession of the spacious lobbies
and the cosy parlors. Cigars were
frequently passed, good ones too,
and smoke and friendly conversa-
ton prevailed until ten o'clock,
when the doors of the dining room
were thrown open and the guests
invited TO enter
The banquet dinner was n credit
to Landlord Rice, and the service
was excellent. Oysters, cold tur-
key, cold tongue, salads, claret
punch, ice cream, cake, and finally
coffee and cigars, made up part
of the menu. and il was perhaps
an hour before these good things
had been disposed of to the salts
faction of the banqueters, and the
toast master raped for order pre-.
paratory to announcing the speak
ers of the evening.
Or. Roseberry, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, acted as
master of ceremonies, In his
Enthusiastically happy manner
he extended n most co. dial invita-
tion to the invited guests. He ex-
planned the motive of the Cham Der
in inviting its friends, and com
pared the growth of the institution

Chamber had nov gotten cut of
its swaddling clothes and that il
needs more food. This nourish-
ment must be supplied by the citi-
zens of Florence, and he hoped a
lively interest in the infant would
be aroused as one of the results of
the banquet,
Nj. E, Lewis was then announced
to respond to the toast Florence
and her Neighbors." Mr.. Lewis
spoke of the early days of the sur
rounding camps, how they had in
huenced the growth of Florence
and of the dependence of one town
upon another. tle said in his
opinion one of the most important
matters the Chamber could take
up and push was to make Florence
common point and give us the
same benefits in shipping that Pu-
eblo and Denver enjoy
The next speaker bro ught the
house down with nearly every sen
tence. "Hughey" Houston was an
nouced to talk abous The Early
Days" He told of having
ed in Coal Greek in time to
send chunk of coal to the Con-
tennial. He later left the coal
business and started saloon. The
most interesting part of his adj
dress was an account of an autop-
sy which took place in his saloon
and in which he assisted.
The medical profession and its
relation to the public was the
next subject, and as the gentleman
who was to bave replied was una
voidably absent, DR.. Bredin was
invited to discuss the topic. In
his remarks the doctor proved him
self by no means a novice at ex-
temporaneous speech making, his
remarks being intensely interest

neer life in the mountains and on
the plains, and traced the history
of the state up to the present time.
"Oil and its Indications was
responded To in an able and elo-
quent manner by ex-senator ,johu-
ston. Heassumed that the subject
referred to petroleum and dis
cussed it from that standpoint. He
gave brief synopsis of the devel-
opment of the petroleum industry
in the east and for the oil fields Of
Florence he predicted "in ten
years from now through this west
ern country you will be able to
count more oil cars than you are
able to count coal cars and ore
cars"
THE Obligations of Florence to
her Newspapers" was responded to
by Editor Bissell, OF the Citizen,
He set forth the good things done
by newspaper for the communi-
ty in which it is located. He put
in a good argument for live adver-
tising and the press of the town
will certainly not suffer from Bro.
Bissell's discourse.
Prof. F. IL, Clark responded TO
"Our Public Schools He en-
phasized the Importance of parents
knowing what is being done inside
the school buildings, the import
ance of securing the best teachers
and of letting the teachers know
that they have the sympathy of
the patrons and their entire sup
port,
When p. r. Mcclure was intro
duced by the toastmaster ms our
present and future mayor, that
worthy official was given per-
feet ovation. The applause was
deafening, aud when some one
Suggested three cheers for the
mayor they were given with yells
that would have done credit to a
band of Apaches. The mayor
gave clear, logical exposition of
ms VIEWS ON tnuurcrpur ftiiPrvvv-
ment," a matter in which history
shows he has taken lively iu-
terest.
Rev. r. d. Graham made very
hopeful and encouraging response
to The Future of Florence. The
towns future, however, depends
much upon the citizens. There
must be harmony and unity of
purpose. "A house divided
against itself cannot stand.n
G.. A. Eldredge entertained the
banqueters with couple charac-
ter sketches, role in which he is
known to shine.
The last toast on the program
was FLORENCE, Past and was re-
sponded to by Edwin Lobach. He
gave a very interesting talk about
the early days of Florence. when
there were but three or four shacks
or cabins between Canon and Hard
scrabble.
Before the banqueters left their
seats a vote of thanks was tender
ed to Mr.. Rice for the very efii-
cient manner in which he provided
entertainment for the guests.
Thus ended one of the most
pleasing entertainments that per
son could ask to enjoy. The com
mittee of arrangements are to be
congratulated upon the entire sue

quotations may be termed self
evident or truisms. L wou,d
emphasize the truth. that the
State is under no obligation to
furnish education to the people
except on the ground of neces-
sity for its own protection and
preservation. a University ed
uCation is III no sense necessary
to create good citizen. Writ
ing on this subject, the great
economist, Adam Smith, SAYS:
"A higher education is not
necessity, but rather luxury
or ornament that may very we'll
be paid for by the wealthy if
t hey desire it for themselves or
their families. DR.. Menally.
late President of Mercer Uni
versity, Georgia, has expressed
the following view:
State education should never
have advanced to 4 grade of
scholarship in which the recipi =
ent is more benefited than the
State" Comment ON both views
are unnecessary.
