These figures were furnished by
Superintendent of Public Build.
ings John A. Nicholas, and, with
one exception, can be relied upon
as being ms near absolutely correct
as could well be. Manager Mac
Donald, of the National Gold Ex-
traction company, when approach
ed, refused to give the cost of i'm
provements, for reasons which he
explained to the satisfaction of
both Mr.. Nicholas and the writer
hereof, consequently the figures
opposite this concern are given
merely as an estimate by an out
slider However, it can be depend
ed upon that the estimate is none
too high.
What other town in the state
can make similar showing for the
same periodY Where is there an
other town between the Rocky
Mountains and the Missouri river
that has had, or will have, improve
ments this year that will aggregate
a million and nearly two hundred
thousand dollars? But Florence
is not going to stop here. She is
going to spread and grow like
"Green Bay tree for several years
to come, and besides being known
to the world as the oil metropolis
of Colorado, her name will go into
the annals of history dis mill
town and manufacturing center of
more than ordinary Importance.
The city is admirably situated to
fulfill this prophecy 1t has cheap
fuel, splendid water supply, ex-
cellent railroad facilities, unex-
celled drainage and an abundance
of enterprise that is possessed by
very few communities. tits fine
showing and reflects greatly to the
credit of the people who, by their
efforts and liberality, have done so
much TO advance this section and
thereby add materially to the stand
ing, commercially, of the whole
state.
While reference was made in the
early part of this article to the lack
of sufficient dwellings to accom- mo-
date the newcomers, let it not be
understood that any fault is in
tended to be found with builders
and property owners, for that is
the most remote idea of the COM
piler. 1t is well known fact that
every sinew has been strained in
the effort to supply the demand
and the failure to accomplish the
end is in the inability to secure,
al any price, the necessary carpen-
ters, brick and stone masons and
plasterers to prosecute the work.
At the least calculation 125 resi-
dence buildings have been COM
pleted since the first of January,
and still others are being projected,
but there is simply no keeping
pace with the demand and found
alton is scarcely begun until con-
tract is entered into with pros
pective tenant for the building.
Little heed is given to the character
of the building by the renter; he is
glad enough toget place of shelter
without demanding modern equip
ment; but it can be said to the
credit of large majority of build

CHANGE OE FRONT.

The renewal of the Philip
pine Islands revolt is timely.
If war comes between the Unit
ed States and Spain the Islands
will get their independence.
The United States does not
want the islands. 1t would not
accept them as a gift. In a war,
however, the United States
would feel obliged to drive
Spain out of the islands, and in
that case their people would
get their liberty which they
fought for recently. But which
they failed to get. Globe
Democrat of March Is. 1898.
(siX weeks before the war with
Spain began.) The Globe-Dem-
ocrat has Changed Front, has
proven traitor to its better i'm
pulses, and to-day, for the sake
Of the Administration is ad-
vocating the enslavemenL of a
people whom it would have
freed. Imperialism means greed,
expansion in 1899 and also 1900
means to take by force from Il
weaker people and it means dis
honor. The same reason why
the Filipino should be free il
1898 stands good in 1900.
