The following from the Denver Times
conclusively tells O the results Of false
leadership:
The court of appeals yesterday hand
ed down number of opinions, some OF
them of considerable general interest,
but most of them purely local. In the
case Of the city OF Grand Junction, on
appeal from the district court of Mesa
county, the opinion ct the lower court
in favor of the city, was reversed. The
company was under contract to furnish
the city with water for a certain number
of hydrants, and the city refused to pay
for the same The company brought
suit for rental amounting to Sl4,2OO.
The lower court found for the city On
the ground that the Jmpany was not
sufficient pressure, and the pipes OF the
company would not stand strong pres
sure, being poorly laid and of inferior
material. The court OF appeals finds
there WAS nothing in the contract specl-
flying the amount of pressure; that the
water was pure, and that the plant OF
the company was su bsl antial enough for
all purposes. The company 1t finds,
fulfilled its contract in every way, and is
entitled to recover Judgment is, there
fore, entered for the company and the
finding OF the lower court reversed.

B0ERS TAKING
THE AGGRESSIVE
Appear to be Weary of British
Delay and are Beginning to
Push Things Themselves

London-The Beers are taking the ag
gressive all along the line. Following
close on the heels OF General Buffers
third retreat at the Tugela, force Of
burghers 5000 strong, under General
Joubert, have made an ascent on the
side Of the hills near Chieveley.
Tbis givee the willy old Boer general
command of both bridges across the Tu-
gela and dominating the forts. This
makes Ladysmith's relief from the Tu-
gela almost impossible.
Another Boer commander, known to
have been pushing his way through Zu-
luland in the direction of Greytown, has
occupied Nkhandhlu, just one days ride
to Greytown, with the evident purpose
OF cutting off Buffers communications,
possibly following up the three British
repulses with decisive engagement in
Natal.
Similar activity is apparent against
Kimberley, where the besiegers have ad-
vanced their trenches to within 1000
yards of the city's outworks. Lord Rob
erts' presence at the Modder river is re-
garded as Indicating that the British
commander intends to attempt to deal
crushing blow to General Cronje's force
at Magersfontein, to relieve Kimberley
and then to invade the Orange Free
State.
Large stores and railway construction
material are collecting at Methuens
camp for tho purpose OF preparing for
the invasion. Every available freight
car is being headed toward the Modder
river.
Anticipations of an attack on the Brit
ish camp at Naauwpoort are already be-
ing discussed All OF this movement
leads to the conjecture that either the
Beers have received information that the
colonial Dutch are ready to assist them
or they perceive only further delay in
the British game, whose armies are rein
forced daily.
Meantime Buffers last defeat creates
feeling akin to helplessness here. A
brave pretense is made to construe the
defeat into strategic move but nobody
believes that story.

The Columbia Photograph
BY DIR. e. f. Ell DRIDGE.

Sounds which have long been frozen
In the wax that held them there,
Break forth in the grandest music,
Like an anthem after prayer;
And the words of absent singers
Who are now in distant climes,
Ring loud and clear upon our earl
We hear the silver chimes
Which dance across the Danube's wave
Or that float from gilded domes;
We hear the music OF all the earth,
AS we sit in our quiet homes.
Our statesmen, who are now alive,
Aye! Even those long dead
We hear their master speeches.;
We hear the words they said
No! Not by another speaker,
But in the voice that rang,
And we hear the words OF the singer
AS we'll as the notes she sang;
The works of the great musicians.
Which stir the human soul,
May now be had by the farmer lad
On the shiny. waxen roll
Ave, Words now live as well as deeds;
For thousand year to come
Our cbildren's children still may hear,
The presents busy hum.
. The song now falling on our ears
May to their hearing float
Each word as clear as 1t is to-day
They may catch them-every note.
In hundred years our deeds may live
20 find our words in youth
Then let us speak with careful tho't
And naught but chan eless truth.

Soiourn m south Florida.

The king OF Spain signed the treaty
conveying Florida to the United States
Oct. "a, 1920. The United States was to
pay all claims OF its citizens against Spain,
which were not fully settled for 80 years.
The total cost OF Florida has been IS ,4S9,-
76S and SO PCS square miles OF territory
were added to the national domains.
Arcadia lies on Peace river, which derived
its name on account OF peace having been
declared near its banks with the Seminole
Indians In 1857. John Randolph said In
Congress during the negotiations that we
had no use for Florida as 1t was composed
of mosquitoes, frogs, rattlesnakes and
alligators.
Florida was 10 the South what Canada
was TO the North during the rebellion. As
there were but few railroads and territory
enough to hold several millions OF people,
the southern people who we're for the
union and who refused to fight for the
con iederaey fioeked to Florida by the
thousands. A large per cent OF them never
returned. Consoript acts had but little
force in this state, as its extensive forests,
which are full OF game, and its rivers and
lakes full OF fish; its weather so mild that
man can live out OF doors the year
around, or build houses of palm leaves,
with beds made of moss, made an almost
safe refuge from JEFF Davis and his au'
thority. A large delegation OF people who
are trying to escape the officers OF the law
both white and black for the last 30
years, flee to Florida. The safest place Tor
consumptives, II they go in season, is
Florida, as thousands here will testify,
There is only a small per cent OF the
people here that are black. The turpen'
tine manufacturers go to the cotton states
for negro help and bring them 10 by the
carload. Sweet potatoes lie in the ground

Florida grass is OF a wild nature; some
OF the tufts are so sour that animals Will
nearly starve before they Will eat II. The
dwarf palm is from four to six feet high,
with leaves from one to two feet square
that make poor food for cattle. During
the winter months cattle have hsrd
time. As the grasses are dead,or nearly so,
cattle have a struggle to winter. The
forests are full OF bones OF dead cattle,
