MARBLE, COLORADO.

Never before in the history OF thi.
country was prosperity so great or so
general as it was during 1898, and
this in spite of foreign war that
might naturally have been paralyzing
to industry and commerce. Further
than this, never, with single excep-
tion in favor of England in one year,
did any country sell so much to other
countries as we sold abroad in the
year just passed.

The era of small ships is rapidly
passing away as the enormous bulk of
the worlds commerce is increasing
and the necessity of speed aud econ
omy is realized Large twelve-knot
steamers with triple-expansion en-
gines are cheaper than sailing vessels,
of single cargoes, but because the
steamer can make three voyages to
the sailing vessels one, the saving in
interest and operating expenses more
than offsetting the added expense of
fuel.

The year 1898 marked decided
return of prosperity, says the New
York Independent The agricultural
wealth of the country has increased,
high prices have been obtained for
our abundant wheat crop, and the in
debtedness on Western farms has
been much reduced Our exports
have vastly exceeded our imports,
and money has been abundant. The
war does not seem to have af-
fected business very seriously in
either way. 1t has been year of
prosperity in the pursuits of peace
and of marvellous success in war. The
country is now world Power, and
will be called to do its part in settling
the problems of both continents.
This is what is giving both concern

J. The chief engineer Of the battleship
Oregon, during the destruction of CeS-
vera's fleet, Robert w. Milligan,
speaks with great modesty of his own
performance of duty, though with
natural pride in the performance of his
ship. One remark of his sounds Ak
iomatic: "In time of war a warship
should be ready for action at all times.
She is not ready if her machinery
not ready to work on signal" Th
Oregon was always ready. There were
fires under every boiler every moment
during her blockade duty There were
no cold CRATES in her tirerooms and
her men were trained to the use of
forced draught. 1t is alleged that this
was not true of other vessels of our
fleet. This is lesson OF the war that
may well impress itself upon the minds
OF naval commanders.

silken, some are wool, some lin

like Goals of fire while some are
verdant quite, and every shade
