President William Slocum of Colo
RADIO College has gone to Chicago to
notify DR.. ID. X. Pearsons that the
terms of the $4,000 gift which DIR.
Pearsons made to the college some
time ago have been complied with, and
that S6O,OO0 laboratory building has
been erected. DR.. Pearson's gift will
be used as an endowment for the
building.
The following state agents of the HUI
name Society have been appointed
since March Goth and up to April 18th:
Mrs. Jennie Mcdowell, Cripple Creek;
Edgar Burton. Rathbone; John S.
Haskey and Edward Huter, Dillon; G.
+. Zimmerman, Antonito; Sherman NJ.
Hobson, Pueblo; j. l.. Chattield, Gyp-
sum; Jno. Doyle, st. Elmo; Fred X.

Judge Voorhees, on the 11th heard
the petition of Willisford Dey for an
Injunction against the Pueblo city Off
cials to restrain them from signing a
warrant for $1,000 for the purchase Of
land for the opening of Tenth street
east of Santa Fe avenue, and granted
temporary Injunction. 1t is alleged
that the city bargained for the land
without having made an appropriation
for that purpose, and that also the land
is outside of the city limits.
Colonel Edward Verdcckberg, recent
ly elected commanding officer of the
First infantry, c. n. c., has published
an order which outlines his policy in
the management of the regiment. The
order states that the colonel favors the
granting of fewer discharges than has
formerly been the custom and does not
wish to grant any discharges unless
good reasons are advanced. Non-com-
missloned officers will be required to
pass written examination before re-
ceiving the warrants. A board of OFF,
GERS to hold such examinations will
convene the second Monday of each
month.
There is.a strong probability that If
Denver is selected as the location for
the National Elks' Home, the site Sc
lected for the building and grounds
Will be that of the Baptist Ladies' Col
lege in Montclair. At meeting of d.
rectors of the college society the sub
ject was discussed at length and ten
tative proposition has been made to the
of the property. The price for the
building as 1t now stands and the sur
rounding twenty acres of ground is
$4,000. The bilding alone when first
constructed cost $4,000. The local
committee of the Elks is known to IA
vor the property above all others which
have been submitted for consideration.
The question of the extension of the
Lakewood railroad to Idaho Springs
and across the divide to Middle Park,
has been one of the pet hobbies of Mr..
Newhouse. His mining schemes have
reached the point where they will not
require his personal attention, and 1t Is
believed that from this time he will
give personal attention to railroad
matters. The Lakewood line has al
ready been cross sectioned to this place
and the financial backing in Boston and
New York gives assurance that an on
ward movement will be made within
the next three months. From CONVEX
sation with one of the officers OF the
road, II is beaeved that the Burlington
has something 10 do with the extern
sion.
The state fish department will stock
what has been known ms "the Colorado
dead sea" This is n lake near Grand
Junction, which, according TO 4. J. Hol-
land, superintendent of fish hatcheries
for the state, has never known what

he listened to the solicitations OF many
citizens of the ncighborhood who are
anxious to fish and have nothing 10 fish

n trial of the matter.
The Colorado Springs Light and Pow
or Company is making arrangements to
build new plant NJ the conl mines

superintendent and general manager,
