Editors to Meet.

The State Editorial association
will meet at the st. Jumes hotel
in Denver ON January %. A
bapquet has been arranged for
the evening session and the editors
will undoubtedly find the occasion
prolific of considerable good for
them. They might discuss the
recent TRADE against the weekly
press that appeared in the George
P. Rowell publications, wherein
theman who has so successfully tiled
SO many country papers, maintains
that the day of the weekly publ
cation has passed and that in the
future advertising will be placed
with the daily papers. Notwlth-
standing the position taken by
Mr.. Rowell the weekly state press
of Colorado represents a clrcula-
ton of over $50, 600 papers and
tho people repose more confidence
in their home paper than they
do in the metropolitan publica-
tions.

Home Industries.

A Denver estimate places the
number of factories in the state at
200. The number of articles man.
ufactured, class of articles will
reach 100. The total number of
men employed in factories in
Colorado, $4,000. The total
wage paid these men in 1899 was
over $4,000, 1000. The total
product of the factories of the
state last year reached value of
$50, 900, 900 in round numbers.
1t is safe to estimate that the
purchasing population of the state
will reach 100000 people. If
this army of citizens would insist
upon getting goods and wares
manufactured in Colorado the
of these factories could
be doubled. Instead oe employing
$1,000 men the factories would
employ 10000 men and the pay
roll would be raised from IS, 000,-
900 to S16, 100000 annually.
The product of the factories would
also double and at the end of the
present year the record would
show that the product of the
factories of the Centennial state
had reached 800, 900, 200.
The proposition is an easy one.

Bear in Mind.

When you write to a friend in

something like this: "Colorado
is not a one-resource state. When
silver fails goli succeeds. If
mining should fail farming would
not. If farming should fail fruit
growing would still be a great
industry. If fruit growing should
fail we still have cattle raising
numbering, stone quarrying, coal
mining, the oil wells and half
dozen other resources and in
dustries. Many of the states of
the East must stand or fall on one
lone industry"

LIVE STOCK
ASSOCIATION. A
Third Annual Convention
Fort Worth, Texas,
January 10. 1900.

The third annual convention of
the National Live Stock Associa-
ton will convene at Ft. Worth,
Texas, on January 16, 1900, and
continue in session for four dnys.
Indications are that this will be
more largely attended and of
more importance to stock interests
than any similar convention ever
held IN the United States. This
meeting, it is said, will be Of
special importance to those inter-
ested in live stock in Colorado,
Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah
and the northwest, and the officers
of the association hope that dele
gates from north and west Of
Denver will arrange to join the
Colorado contingent at Denver,
Colorado Springs or Pueblo. In
order to accommodate this move
ment the Colorado & Southern
Railway, which is the great high
way between Colorado and Texas,
has arranged TO run "Stock-
mems Special, leaving Denver
at 1915 noon, January IA, which
will reach Fort Worth the next
afternoon, about four O'Clock,
giving ample time for delegates
to get settled at their hotels the
evening before the opening of the
convention and before the major
ity of the Texas points arrive.
The special train will be a model
of modern luxury and convenience
comprising the most palailal
sleeping cars in the west, and
splendid dining car service with a
well stocked buffet. The sleeping
car diagrams will be open for
reservation on and after December
18th, and those intending to go
should secure accommodations as
soon thereafter as possible. The
rates from Colorado and from
points in New Mexico, along the
Colorado & Southern Railway,
will be one fare for the round trip
and tickets will be available for
return within twenty days. Re-
,luced rates will also be made
from points north and west Of
Colorado, and delegates from such
territory may come to Denver via
the Union Pacific and join the
special here, or using the MO
Grsnde Western and Colorado
Midland, take the special at Colo
Springs or come via the klo
Grande Western and Denver d
Rio Grande to Pueblo and join u
there. Everything possible will
be done to contribute to the COM
fort and pleasure of this special
party, and it is hoped that Colo
RADIO and the neighboring states
will be largely represented. he
quests for accommodations should
be addressed to the undersigned,

that has caused he genealogical centre,
so to speak, to be transferred within re-
cent years from Boston to this city. The
public records of the city and state are,
in the main, very defective. Church re-
cords are better, and the best of these
are the Quaker records, Those of Trim
ity Parish are voluminous and valuable.
The task of completely recopying them
was lately begun, and will require about
three years. Sometimes church and
other sem'-private or private records are
not very accessitble-th being due in
some instances to mutilation or stealing
by persons who had been permitted to
examine them. AS rule, they may
still be seen, but only under supervision,
which often there is no one to give In
the South the public records are even
more unsatisfactory than in this state.
The New England records are by far the
best in this country
The fees of professional genealogists
are quite reasonable. For an investiga-
ton which does not take one outside of
the city, the usual price is So a day.
The scale rises with the distance to
which it is necessary to so a higher fee,
as well as the expenses Of travel, being

mistake.
"The genealogist makes many inter
esting and surprising discoveries. Some
of the most impressive instances cannot
be described, because they are of pain
full nature and would be instantly recog-
nized by the living whom they concern.
Crime, lauperism, illegitimacy, are some
of the unexpected revelations. Others
are simply singular, as, for instance,
that in three successive generations Of
q certain family daughter was burned
to death or that in a seafaring family
several members We're drowned in ponds
and small streams near home, while
none was ever lost on the ocean"
The sources of the genealogist's know
ledge are both published works and I'M
published records. OF the former there
is now very large number, and it is
pertinent to remark that the genealogi-
cal department of the Lenox Library is
probably the most complete in this
country and one of the best in the world.
