| A few ey-members of the First Colo
rado regiment have enlisted in the vol
| unteer regiments being organized for
service in the Philippines. 1t is gem
orally the case with discharged sol
diers that they do not re-enlist until
their money is all gone In Denver
the attractions of the carnival We're
added to the conditions calculated to
discourage the re-enlistment of men,
bers of the local regiment. Lieutenant
| j. A. Ryan, in charge of the local re-
cruiting Office in the Columbia hotel,
has been busy during the last few
days. Monday night nineteen men
We're sent out TO posts in various parts
of the country, where they will join
the regiments to which they have been
assigned. AT Cheyenne. which Is un-
der the Jurisdiction of the officer sta
| toned here, seventeen men are ready
and will pass through Denver tonight
enroute to join their regiments. Appli-
cations for enlistments are on the in
crease at the local office and the officer
in charge is well pleased with the out
look. Men for both the colored and
white regiments are being enlisted in
| this city. An ex-member of the Cali
fornia battery, w. p. Northcross of
San Francisco. was one of the men
who enlisted and went out with the
party last night.
The outpouring of society to see the
horse show Friday and Saturday
was n demonstration of approval that
the committee takes as n sure express
sion of desire for its repetition next
year and in years to come. Society in
all Its glory was out last night, to the
number of ZOO and until nearly mid
night stayed mt the grand stand. The
blue blood of the equine world pranced
before the immence assemblage.
Denver society occupied many boxes
and filled the most OF the row seats in
4 the grand stand. while Colorado
Springs, Leadville and other cities sent
full representation of their society
folk Friday was characterized by A. Il.
Ashbrook of Kansas City, as the best
starter he had ever witnessed, and
that included St Louis, Kansas City.
New York and Chicago. The grand
stand was crowded to its utmost capa-
city and not a vacant seat was noticed
during the afternoons performance.
The enthusiasm was at a high pitch
from the outset and with the exception
of one or two exciting events, all
passed off without anything to mar
the pleasure of the exhibit. The peo-
pie demonstrated love for horses that
insures success of the events for years
to come. The surface of the big arena
was ideal. Sprinkled just enough to
keep down the dust. and not enough to
make it heavy, the horsemen were
highly pleased.
If Governor Thomas takes the same
view of the improved condition of state
finances as do some Of the state officers
with whom he was in CONSULTATION
Monday, there will be no extra session
of the Legislature. The governor
hopes to be able to make statement
regarding the matter before the end of
the week. The state board Of equaliza-
ton met Monday and the financial con-
dition of the state was discussed in
executive session after railroad repre-
sentatives had been heard for several
hours in objection to their assessments,
which they said were too high, COM
pared with those of other property.
All the valuations are in and there is
total increase in valuation over last
year of about $1j,000,000. OF this in
crease about one half is in Ell Paso and
Teller counties. In round numbers
this years total valuation of the whole
state is $203,000.O00. The representa-
tive of the Rio Grande road yesterday
presented statement intended to
show that even with the increased val
uation of other property the railroads
of the state would bear more than their
share of the taxes. The increase in the
valuation of the railroad property is
about 13 per cent. above the comDan-
les figures, while the railroads assert
that the increase in the valuation of
other property is only ~ per cent.
The 13 per cent increase In railroad
valuation includes the restoration of
the 10 per cent. cut of last year. State
Auditor Temple will soon present a
statement which will show the proba.
BILE income Of the state under the in.
creased valuations fixed by the equal.
