THE FUTURE OF WALDEN.

| 'NERI BODY 'hNOWs THAI
the growth of Walden heretofore
Ahas been slow, and yet of rathe.
a permanent character. But it is moi
the past, but the future, for Walden
that is going to count.
Anna Dickinson, the girl who rose
from obscurity to meteoric splendor
as an orator, once said, "The world
belongs to those who take it." (She
must have been an eSpansionlst.)
However; much of Walden's future
depends on itself. The coming sum.
mer will be the most important one
in Walden's history also, TO great
extent, this applies to North park.
What can we do to enhance our
future growth and permanent prosper.
ity? Much. Will we do it? These
questions are before us, and are now
pressing for an answer. II Walden
is to become county seat of new
county and remain as il is now, the
chief town of the park, the foundation
for such permanency must be laid
now. 1t cannot be deferred another
season.
A railroad is almost sure to make
preliminary surveys and plans for q
line into or through the park this
summer. The larger and stronger
our town is Ill stability, the greater
| the inducement to build into Walden.
To this end we suggest that the
Mayor and Board of Trustees make
II point to do everything in their
power for the benefit of our town.
The planting Of trees, gardens, beau
tifying premises, buildings and streets
should be encouraged, and tie neccs-
sary irrigation for such things ought
to be supplied in some permanent
form. Our population, as also that
I of the park, must increase. Growth
Is in the air, and we must prepare to
meet it, help it, foster it for our own
and everybody's benefit Insist on
better fire protection by brick hues
instead of stove pipes stuck through
the roof. Take steps to organize for
an aggressive campaign for q separ-
ate county, and keep the fight up
until we have success. Now we are
only an outlying province in our rela-
ton to Fort Collins, and our distance
from the county seat makes it imper-
ative that we be allowed a separate
county at the earliest possible mo
ment 1t is not too soon to begin
organization to accomplish that resul,
if we ever hope to gain it. The pros
pecting and mining in North park
this summer will excel anything we
have ever seen or even thought Of
Let lis aid it in every way. But dis
Greet organization for county
backed by determination and energy
will do more for our permanent
growth and success as a town thar
many people think. We should be
glad to have this question looked
after early, and preliminary steps
taken for strong organized ettort
for our rights.

VIRGINIA PENsIoNs.-A dispatch
from Richmond says: "It is pretty
generally believed that if the legislature
at the extra session shall take up gen
eral legislation one of the fret subjects
to be tackled will be the pension law.
The Perks bill has not given satisfac.
ton. 1t is said to be defective in very
many respects. Virginia now pays out
annually about one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. This includes the
appropriation to the Soldiers Home.
1t is claimed that under the present
system many unworthy people draw
pensions. A member of the House said
yesterday thst be- had heard of three
men who dwelt In cage after the pas
sage of the conscript act drs wing PEN
sioos as Confederate veterans. Political
influence has been used in securing re-.
COMMUNICATIONS to the pension boards,
and many unworthy are on the list.
The distribution Of the fund Is OF such
long division that many OF the checks
range from two to four dollars.
At o rough estimate, the cost of the
extra session of the legislature and the
Constitutional Convention will be
$3.50, 600. The pay Of the members Of
the convention will probably be ten
dollars day. II 1t is composed OF 100
members the cost to the commonwealth
will be 81 600 a Day.
