for filling them; now we are trying

question the return of prosperity
and we will send our fighting edi-

than a good licking would convince
him that prosperity is here.

Crested Butte will have another
newspaper in the near future, but
the publisher will find he is travel
ling upon a path of thorns rather
than a path of roses, all appear
ances to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Without a doubt, a newspa-
per is the most difficult of any
business enterprise to successfully
launch and put upon paying
basis, and Crested Butte affords q
very unpromising field for another
paper on account of its large per
cent of foreign inhabitants. These
cold facts will be demonstrated in
an incontrovertible manner to the
embryo publisher by the rapid de-
pletion of his working capital.
The PILOT, in its nineteen years
of service to this locality, has saw
two other papers come and go and
has weathered many hard storm,
but during that time it has taken
care to so intrench itself rs to
! make its position invulnerable, and
nineteen years hence it will be
found plodding along in its usual
transformations way. We will ex-
tend the hand of fraternity to our
new brother when he comes along
and will cheerfully lend him our
rollers, shooting stick, devil or any
other old thing in our shop, except
our check book, whenever he may
need them, and we will expect the
same courtesies in return.

A Newspaper Trust.

A syndicate has just been formed in
London with capital of i l,060,000
to purchase the Sketch, the illustrated
London News, the English Iilustrat ted
Magazine, the Penny Illustrated Paper
and the Lady's Pictorial. Shares to
the amount of G750,000 will be offered
to the public, 9375.000 of which will
be in common stock paying per cent,
at a shilling premium, and f319,00 OF
per cent bonds. 1t is believed that
the shares will be taken up by the
market as readily as those issued by
the Newnes, Harmsworth and Pearson
syndicates. Unless America has gone
mad on the subject of trusts it is not
believed by conservative citizens that
such a project in this country would
be received with favor. However, this
is a matter of opinion. an2 the only

The Trekking Wagon.

The South African wagon is a long,
heavy cart mounted on four wheels, as
rule, with a sort of canvas tent over
the back half, leaving the front clear
to carry the miscellaneous furniture of
its owner, drawn by sixteen, eighteen
or twenty oxen, curiously ferce-look-
ing with their immense spread Of horn,
sometimes as much as eight feet from
tip to tip and rarely less than six. but
in reality as patient and Woodworking
beasts as one could wish to find. Their
mode of progression is certainly slow.
but there is strangeness and a fas-
cination about it which may draw men
to it almost as the Alps draw their
devotees. In front there marches the
"voorlooper," generally a small boy
leading the two foremost oxen by a
rein or rope passed through their nos
trils. The driver walks alongside with
the long and terrible whip he uses so
unsparingly, or else sits on the front
of the wagon and gets off occasionally
to lash up the whole team with unfail-
ing impartiality. The travelling is all
done at night, starting a little before
sunset and marching until perhaps II
or IL e'clock; then there is halt till
little before the first signs of dawn,
when they go on again till the sun be-
gins TO get hot overhead, and then they
lie for the day.-Gentleman's Maya

Long Range Firing.

NO one who reads about the des-
perate fighting going on in these long
range, quick-fring days could have
failed to be amazed at the small num-
Der OF resulting casualties. AS a mat
ter of fact, the firing begins when the
combatants are miles apart and ends
before they can see the whites of each
others eyes. There is no "hand-to-
hand" business as of yore. What kill
ing is done is miscellaneous and acct
dental. This is particularly true with
respect to the warfare now in progress
in the Philippines. The fatalities
among our troops mainly result from
the fire OF sharpshooters, who pick
their victims off from the safe cover
of the jungle. The Filipinos have
learned to protect themselves by keep
ing out OF range. Two or three severe
lessons sufficed.-- Record.

Bank Notes of Ancient Times.

Among the products of civilization

notes. There is at this moment in the

oldest extant dating from the four
teenth century OF our era. It is now
proved. however, that paper money
was issued in China as >rly as S07

being based upon the estates OF the

VANITY FAIR.

During the coming season there will
be quite plethora of international
yacht races. Whether contests of this
description do much for the best in
terests of the sport is doubtful, for
in the past they have often led to
chickering's, and they certainly cause
people who usually take no interest in
yachting to momentarily turn their
attention to the pastime. The first
series of international matches has al
ready commenced at Mealau, in which
NJ. MarcCn's 1-tonner Belonga, repre-
senting the Cercle de la Wolfe de Paris,
is matched against the Vectis, owned
by Mr.. +. w. Leybourne Popham Of
England, whose challenge was backed
by the Island Sailing club of Cowes.
In August we are promised another
series of international races for tho
Coupe de France The defender will
be owned by Mr.. Z. Hore, who has
been racing the 20-rater Laura with
considerable success at the Mediter-
ranean regattas Then, still later in
the season. will follow the American
cup races.
