Golden Paper Mills Burned.

Golden. Colo. Nov. 3.-Early Friday
morning fire broke out in the Golden
paper mills and the plant was entirely
destroyed. A large stock ~of paper
ready for shipment was also burned.
The plant was owned and operated by
Wells x Peppard and valued at about
$4,000, with only $4,000 insurance.
1t is supposed that the fire was caused
by n hot box in the new machinery,
near which was a great quantity OF
waste paper and other intlammable ma
terial. The flames spread quickly
through the plant and by the time the
alarm was given the fire was beyond
control. The Golden firemen responded
promptly and did magnificent work in
saving Senator Wells residence and the
Rock -four mills. both of which are To-
Gated in the same block. The large
warehouse lear by was also saved.
This was the first mill erected in
Golden and has been one of her most
profitable industries. Senator Wells
has been connected with these mills for
over thirty years. OF late years the
attention of the management has been
devoted to the manufacture of building
paper. and it was the only industry of
the kind west of the Missouri river,
which gave these mills n practical mo,
nopoly of this kind of paper. The en-.
tire output found a ready market in
Colorado. and n 5OO-ton contract had
just been begun. Other c%ontractn were
pending.
The mills employed about twenty

A dealer in spices declares that the
consumer can now buy a pound of
what purports to be pepper. ground.
packed in q tin box and labeled
cheaper than the wholesaler can buy
pure unEround pepper by the ton. The
dealer who undertakes to sell really
pure pepper must therefore charge a
price for his goods which seems high
when compared with the prices of his
competitors. and thus adulteration be-
comes the general practice. 1t is an
outrage on the consumer, yet it is the
consumers continual demand for
c%heapness that is largely to blame. The
honest dealer and the customer who Is
willing to pay n fair price for pure
goods will have no redress until public
opinion demands government inspec-
ton of all food products, the com
pulsory labelling If such as are in any
way adulterated and the punishment of
all persons who sell adulterated for

The growth of population about the
Great Lakes will be one of the impor-
tan revelations of the present censu
Six Lake cities, Buffalo, Cleveland, To-
ledo, Detroit, Milwaukee and Chicago,
have added more than a million people
since 1890, an increase of nearly fifty
per cent. The increase is directly re
lated to the growth of commerce of
the Great Lakes, which has doubled in
the last five years. The tonnage ca
pacity of vessels passing through the
canal at Sault Sainte Marie is now half
as large again as hat of all the yes
sells which enter and leave the port OF
New York, and two and a half times as
great as the tonnage which passes
