A TRIBUTE FROM THE VETERANS

Yesterday a letter was received from General O. H. LaGrange, governor of the soldiers home near Los Angeles, for Capt. Jack Crawford, which we are permitted to publish by MT. A. P Walbridge, his manager in Phoenix in the captains absence. and without his knowledge. It is not only strong endorsement, but touching tribute from an old soldier to his comrade:
 Pacific branch, National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, Feb. 9: Dear Captain Crawford:
 Your three entertainments given here at short intervals were the best that have been offered at this branch since it's organization. Members evinced their enthusiastic appreciation of your work by turning out more generally than ever before as we'll as by thelr heartfelt applause and their wonder that you could give them something new on each occasion and always something better than the last.
 For my own part l would rather listen to you as long as you would talk at any time. than to attend any other place of amusement for you blend instruction with entertainment in a wonderfully original manner, and your audience feels intuitively that there is a brave generous, talented and high minded man behind the talk, The veterans like you as we'll as they do your entertainment. and want you to come again.
 Truly your friend,

may say without great exaggeration,
that in time Denver will be reached.

The skilled machinist loves his call
ing for there is an independence about
it and feeling of superiority in the
strength and power at his command.
To them the massive and heavy ma
chinery or the delicate and intricate
working tool is an instrument for his
own use and in this use he can de-
sign and construct other machinery
just as useful.
An undertaking which is conducted
by men of this description is that of
the Canon City Machine & Foundry
Company, whose works are located at
Eighteenth and Water streets.
They recently commenced business
and their works are fitted up with the
latest and best appliances for doing
all kinds of machine work. Not only
do they make machinery of almost
every description, but they undertake
repairing of every description. A
feature of the plant is a new power
press, which is the finest in the state.
This is operated mainly in connection
with the manufacture of the Self
Locking Pulley" This is a device in
vented by Mr.. w. d. Combs, one of
the proprietors. and although only on
the market a short time has gained
considerable favor. II undoubtedly fills
a want, for it's utility is unquestioned.
1t matters not whether it Is rope
on a derrick or a clothes line, all you
have to do is to pull it tight and let go
no tying or fastening of any descrip,
ton. Call and see this useful device
The foundry department is in charge
of Mr.. Marsden and turns out the best
of work along the line of castings OF
every description and it is great con
venience sor the people of Canon City
to be able to get this work done al
home. The proprietors, Messrs. Combs
& White. are men well known theiI
profession. Mr.. Combs has been a res
ident of Canon for five years and was
a member of the firm of Watson &
Combs, hardware merchants. He is ar
inventor of some note and in addition
to the Self-Locking Pulley Block IL
now working on a lawn mower, which
is different from anything now on the
market. Mr.. White has been with tht
Colorado Fuel & Iron Company as ma
chinist for many years. He served
thorough apprenticeship to the bust
ness and it has been his life's work
The firm certainly deserve every en-
couragement from the people of Ere
mont County in their new venture, TO
1t will add to the prosperity of ou
city. They are honorable, practica
men who understand their busines
and will do work at rates that vii
compare most favorably with othe
towns. Readers are invited to call an

imately three millions and a half
These savings institutions are
among the safest places for invest
ment as all of the funds Of the insti-
tuition are invested in tirst lien real
cs state loans, principally on the homes
of their members and these loans, in
the instance of the Fidelity Savings
Association, are made on the definite
contract plan, so that the borrower
pays off a portion of the loan each
month, and always knows from the
schedule in his possession just the
amount that 1t would take to repay bis
loan in full. or any portion OF the
same, at the end of nay month.
The savings deposit departments of
these associations make return of
about per cent. to per cent, paying
the interest semi-annually, their con-
tracts providing for an interest re-
turn according to the length of time
the money may have remained with
the association.
What our Colorado institutions are
doing is fairly illustrated by what
similar institutions have .ccom-
plished in other parts of the country.
The Hibernia Savings society of San
Francisco, has some $40,000,0OG On de-
post now. The Bowery Savings bank
of New York, has even more IN de-
/ posit. These are both cooperative
savings institutions. There are
many such conserns in various parts
of the United States.
The inspector of these institutions
foE the State OF Ohio says:
There is no investment safer than
that made in any association that is
properly and honestly managed, and
| there Is no class of men that VIII
grade higher than those engaged in
building and loan work"
The officers and directors Of the
Fidelity Savings association of Len
yer, are as follows: Z. NJ. Johnson
president and manager; Edw. s.
Irish, treasurer: G. w. Campbell, sec
retary; A. N. Partridge, assistant
secretary; NJ. B. Johnson, vice-presi
dent; e. w. Smith, second vice-presi
dent; J. c. Helm. counsel.
Every one of the above is known fol
his probity, financial experience and
business judgment, and it is these
traits that have gained them the con
fidence of over $500 members.
The foundations of the association
are laid broad and firm, a careful ex
animation having been made OF sim
perience has shown to be safe rules
in management adopted. A careful
study of its inception and progress
will convince the most skeptical o.
it's solicity and the profitable nature
of its work.

THE COLORADO INVESTMENT

Homes Built and Sold on Easy Month
Iy Payments-Homes Paid for In
the Event Of Death.

Some fine homes represented by
half Zones in this paper were built by
the Colorado Investment-Loan COM
pany of Denver, Colo, and are sold
on easy monthly payments, and the
home, in the event of death Is paid
for.
The plan under which the company
works is the most advanced, and has
more advantageous features, than any
similar institution. 1t brings together
the investing and home building
classes, thus enabling each to be
source of profit and advantage to the
other.
It is evident that small monthly
savings could not be profitably in
vested II dependent upon themselves,
but II they are taken collectively and
loaned on frst-class security, on long
time. an earning power is created
which could not possibly be secured
through other than the cooperative
system. Thus extraordinary advant-
ages are offered to those who have
not sufficient capital to purchase
homes out and out, enabling them to
secure the same by making small
monthly payments, very little In ex-
cess of those paid for rent, while the
Investor receives first-class security
and a large return on his monthly

| family is left with home free and
clear, by the payment Of the mort
gage with the proceeds OF his policy,
which is carried in an old-line life
insurance company by THE Colorado
Investment-Loan Company"
The plan OF insuring each member
in an old-line life insurance company
is one without peer in any institu-
tion where savings and profit to its
shareholders are its cornerstone. The
member making a monthly investment
of $1,000 is not only providing bank
account for his old age, through the
maturity of his stock to $4,000 in
about 12O months, but secures a
handsome profit on his investment;
at the same time he is protected to
the extent that should death inter
vene at any time, his wife, estate, or
beneficiary would receive the full ma
turity value of his stock, the same
as If 1t had been carried by him to
maturity. If an investment or saving
of $1,000 per month for twelve months
should nave been placed in savings
bank, national bank, trust company.
or building and loan association, and
the depositor or investor die, the
amount deposited or invested would
be paid his estate and nothing more.
But in the Colorado Investment
Loan company, for an equal invest
ment, draft of $4,000 would be paid
to the estate or beneficiary in the
event of death, instead of the amount
or amounts deposited, as would be the
case in the above named institutions;
it goes without saying that such an
investment is desirable and should
appeal to the common sense of busi-
ness men as well as wage-earners.
Another feature of this plan that
stands out boldly and clearly and de-
fies competition, is that at the ma
turity of the investment 81, 1000 is paid
to the investor; he then takes advant-
age of his privilege to reinvest for
another period and II after paying
twelve or more monthly installments
of $1,000 he should die, his estate
having already received $1,000 by vir-
tue of his stock maturity, 1t would
then receive another $4,000 on account
of his death. or $4,000 to his estate
for an investment of about 81 1920.
Such results should merit the careful
consideration of the public, whether
from the standpoint of personal thrift
or kindly protection.
The investor is protected for nearly
as many months, or years. as the case
To illustrate: Suppose two years
have been paid on $4,000 certificate
at the rate of $1,000 per month, and
sickness or loss of situation should
occur, he would not be compelled to
make further payments for about two
and one-half years, in order to keep
his life insurance in force, because
the balance of the amounts thereto
fore paid will be applied by "The
Colorado Investment-Loan Company"
to the extension of his protection. It
also has fair and equitable withdrawal
features and loan values for those
whose necessities may require. While
the above illustration is meant to
cover periods of adversely. 1t should
always be borne in mind that regular
and extra payments will hasten the
time of maturity.
A 5000 certificate to mature Ii
about 120 months is sold on the follow
ing terms: One dollar per share. G
$50 down for the fifty shares. and 81
per month.

Among the honorable remnant of dogs

decoy ducks must also be reckoned among
the very few birds which rank as the
servants OF man; for though it Is a rather
low meter in life, it is not so unintelli-
gent as it seems. and ducks being very
clever birds. it is quite possible that these
agents provocateurs know to some extent
what they are doing. The employment Of
a dog and several birds to aid In catching
other birds In a decoy shows that the
latter is very complex and nicely ad-
justed machine. Not excepting the ar
rangements by which the falconers take
passage hawks with the aid Of decoy pig

Is, on the whole. the most elaborate and
curious of all forms of fowlfng, besides
which it is far the most effective. Some
