Last week the RECORD made brief
mention Of the changes already made
and others contemplated at the Amer

space precluded the more pretentious
article due the subject. Since de-

Importance Of the transaction. which
is among the largss,t ever consummat-
ed in the State. To Canon City it
means great deal, financially and
otherwise. It means the construction
and operation Of the largest zinc
smsltsr in the world. employing 225
men and having payroll Of over 1--WE

James Barnes, now the recognized
authority on all the heroic phases of
American history. has written for the
December number of McClure's Mag
azine the romantic story of Colonel
John Laurens's special mission to
France in 1871. 1t is story that
has almost never been told; yet Lau-
rens's mission is believed to have been
the one thing that saved the cause of
American independence at moment
when it seemed to be lost. The arti-
Gle will be fully illustrated by Howard
Pyle.
The Denver Times Almanac will
contain special history of our war

that the year 1899 has been the most
prosperous one of this century. The

Joel Chandler Harris contributes
to the Christmas number of The Sat

count of the daring attempt to warn
the Confederate cabinet of the great
movement whereby Grant and Sher-

the Confederacy. How the attempt
failed and why it failed are the sub
