MAGNIFICENT RESOLUTION.

just when everybody has concluded
in his or her mind that the Denver &
Rio Grands road is tied up for an indef-
mite period, ranging from Decoration
day to the Fourth OF July, about that
time they have freed themselves from
the snow and ice monster and are run
ming trains again.
No railway system in the United
States has ever contended with such
gigantic odds, against the storm king, as
has the Denver g. Rio Grande. They
have worked necessarily to keep their
line open and frequently after removing
great piles OF snow are at once engulfed
with other slides. 1t has required the
greatest determination upon the part OF
the officials OF the road to keep their
trains moving. Many officials and may
roads would have abandoned the con-
test until the storm stopped raging,
not SO with the Rio Grande they have
kept manfully on, undeterred by any
set backs whatever.
II ever a road has earned the regard
of the people of this western portion Of
the state, that road is the Rio Grande.
Many roads, as has been said would have
felt justification to have abandoned
work long ere this, but no such though
has entered into the calculations of the
Little Giant of the Rockies.
1t is because of this spirit to conquer.
against the most unequal odds that has
restrained the people from complaining
of mail and freight affairs. They have
known Of the greatest struggle to con-
quer ii the history of the Rio Grande
system and all their sympathy has gone
out to that road.
There will be numerous delays in the
course of the present month, but il any
great disaster san be avoided, 30 that
there may be no loss of life, the people
can we'll stand the delay.

LET HIM KICK.

So much has been said of late
by the state press against the kick
ers and knockers" that it is only
fair that a word be said in defense
of these people.
OF course, the chronic kicker is
n thorn in the flesh in many in
stances, yet at the same time, in
the majority of cases, he has a
kick coming. 1t may not be so
with the cynical, disgruntled fell
low who kicks at everything that
comes along in the natural order
of things from the first spring
, shower to the fall equinoxial storm,
but it is certainly true of the
shrewd business man who is
dubbed kicker because he objects
to Inconsistencies in commercial
or political affairs. As matter of
fact such man is a safeguard to
the community of which he is n
part. When he sees mistakes in
the administrator of affairs, he
registers kick, and keeps kicking
until the wrongs are righted. If he
sees a political shyster imposing
upon the confidence of his constit-
uents the kicker makes it known,
and men eventually come to see
the truth of his assertions. If he
Secs that wrongs are being perpe-
trlted in municipal affairs he kicks
an | though he may be known as
a chronic kicker, he will finally
bring the matter to the attention
of the public for its good.
Like every one else the kicker
has his place and serves it well,
Let him kick.

IRON AND STEEL.

The American Manufacture. of
Pittsburg, contains an article in
today's issue stating that the price
of iron and steel for 1900 will be
considerably higher than it is at
this time, and explains the reason
for this as follows:
ut is understood that the mills
manufacturing steel rails combined
and had notified the railroad inter
ests of the country that prices
would be advanced and that the
railroads could cover ali their
wants at S33 per ton. Nearly ev-
cry railroad in the country came
in with orders and an aggregate of
100000 tons of rails were ordered
at the above price for delivery in
1900. The price was then raised
by rail makers as follows: For
standard sections, in lots from 100
to 200 tons, S37; carload lots, S3S,
and less than carload lots, $40.
Light rails, from % to 80 pounds
per yard, S37 per ton. All the
prices quoted are f. o. b., Pittsburg
mills.
The Importance of this can
scarcely be realized. The total
ssles aggregate about S50,000,000.
This means that about one-sixth
of the total steel output for 1900
will be consumed in the manufac-
ture of rails. This does not in
clude the orders placed by the
Russian government some time
ago. together with other orders,

BEGINNING OF NEXT CENTURY
The Nineteenth Century Ends at
Midnight OF Dec. 81, 1900.

Hundreds of persons contend
that the twentieth century will
begin with January / 1900, while
other hundreds contend with equal
positiveness that the correct date
As January i 1901. The 1900 con
tingent argue that, of course, the
new century begins with its num-
eral date, and go on to figure out
very deftly that with the last day
of the year 1899 the hundred years
will have run their course. They
argue that, if the first year end ed
Dec 81 of the year l, the nineteen
hundreth must, of course, end with
Dec. 81, 1899, and that on the first
day of January, 1900, is therefore,
the first day of the new century.
And, curiously enough, this latter
figure is correct, but only in the
numeral sense. These statistic
ians overlook one very important
fact, however, that it requires 100
years to make century, and it
calls for no expert mathematician
to figure it out that the full hun
dred years of the nineteenth cen
tuary will not have run their course
until II O'Clock midnight of the
3lst of December 1900 Numeric-
ally we enter the twentieth century

is ATTRACTING ATTENTION.

The Arkansas valley is attracting
much attention throughout the
country, and especially among the
people representing capital seek
ing place for profitable invest
ment. To verify this statement
it is only necessary to call atten-
tion the great activity in this por-
ton of the valley At Canon City
the American Zinc-Lead smelter
has been sold and its purchasers
will soon begin improvements
SO as to treble its present ca
pacity. AT Florence two or three
of the big mills are broadenin z out
so as to accommodate the rapidly
increasing business. One new
ore reduction works has been To-
Gated here within the past few
weeks, while the location for anoth-
er plant will be determined in a
few days, and Florence seems to
be in the lead for it. Then, too,

THE coSTLIEsT SPORT
Enormous Expence of the Column
bia-Shamrock Contest.

To the men Immediately inter
ested, international yacht racing
is the costliest sport in the world.
The bill for the yachts themselves,
for building, alterations and re-
pains, will amount to fully S250,0O0
for each; the expenses of racing
them will cost their respective own
ers easily S250,o00 more. Here is
cool million Just for building
and racing the boats. The sails
alone cost as much as an ordinary
sailing yacht The Colum bias
sails are said to have cost 5000,
and the Shamrock's even more,
for hers were woven to order from
Egyptian and Sea Island cotton
mixed with silk. The expense of
maintaining the crew was, or rath-
er is, enormous, for the boats are
not yet out of commission 1t is
said that the skipper of the Colum-
bia receives $1,000 for his services.
The salary of the mate is 500
month; the second mate, $40 the
four quartermasters, S35 month
each, and the 30 members of the
crew each $50 Food for the crew
costs easily 5000 a month; each
tender accompanying the yacht
costs 1000 for the few weeks of
the season, and dockage and ton
mage cost about $4,000 more for
each yacht. Estimates of the to-
tai cost of the Shamrock have been
placed all the way from Sl50,0OO
to S450,00O. Probably Sir Thomas
himself does not know exactly
what his little sport has cost him as
there are doubtless stacks of bills
yet to be presented such bills as
$4,000 for the charter of four ten
ders, and So, 400 wages for 20 extra
sailmakers for three months. Be
sides all this Sir Thomas paid S275,
900 for his steam yacht, his sea
home, the Erin; 100000 more in
fitting her out. and another SlOO,-
OOO in entertaining guests during
his visit. The most impressive
feature about this array of costs is
that the yachts upon which so
much has been spent are useless
after the races. The Colum bia,
for instance, can race no more, for
there will probably be no yacht fit
to meet her, and for cruising she
would be failure. In year or
two her delicate hull will be worth
only the metal of which it is made.
The money spent by yacht own
ers in entertaining also reaches far
into six figures. Commodore Nor
gan entertained at least 100 guests
every race day, and Howard Gould
and John Jacob Astor enter tanned
even a greater number. -Gilso

claims to have been pushed into the river
A5y an unknown man, was found clingiag
to one of the piers Of the long bridge
early this morning by two fishermen, who
had been attracted to the spot by her cries
for help With considerable difficulty the
almost exhausted woman was helped INTO
a boat and brought to the shore and the

was then removed to the Emergency Hos

The woman told the police that she
lived in n Street between Third and Four

investigate the woman's story do not be-
lieve that she was pushed from the bridge,
and are Of the opinion that she either fell
or jumped from the structure.
