MASS OF MISTAKES.
Valuation Statistics Are valueless-
Read Like Score Gard.
DENVER Post.l

Strenuous efforts are being made
to conceal the fact that practically
all the work done by the state board
of assessors will have to be done over
again when they meet next week.
The tabulated statements OF the valu-
ton of railroad property are a mass
of inexcusable errors. Governor Or
man and other members OF the admin
istration are yet. puzzled to know how
such tremendous mistakes could be
made. For instance. the Rock Island
railway which comes into Denver
over the Union Pacific tracks is as
sessed for the trackage belonging to
the Union Pacific and the Union Pa
ciflc Is also taxed for the same mil
cage.

From this it may be seen that they
love good living and luxuries. and yet
they are known as one of the most
frugal and economical of peoples on
the earth. and the savings banks show
their thrift There Is general i'm
preston that the Swedes are becom-
ing extravagant. particularly those
who dwell In cities. Everyone tells
me so. and attributes 1t to the recent
increase in wages. and the imitation
of the French fashions. Neverthe-
les. there has been a rapid increase in
the deposits in the savings banks dur
ing the past few years. and a note
worthy decrease in the transactions of
the pawnbrokers.
The postal savings banks are con-
Quoted by the government. and the
money is received and the accounts
are cashed at ali of the thirty-six sub
stations. Interest is paid at the rate
of 3.6 per cent annually upon deposits
that remain for six months.

the number of depositors and the
amount of deposits in the postal saw

OWN LAND THEY TILL.
swedes Lead the World in This Re-
pect, Says William e. Curtis.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 13--William E..
Curtis in The Chicago Record Herald.
The population of Sweden in 1898
by actual count was 5,062.91S. and the
estimate for 1901 is 5,l5O,O0O. nearly
the same as London The men num-
ber 2.466.63S. and the women 2,596, ,28O,
which is 1000 men to 1853 women,
while the ratio for all Europe Is 900
men to 1924 women. The excess of
women in Sweden is caused by the
emigration OF men.
Sixty per cent of the population
live by agriculture. Is per cent by
manufacturing and numbering, 10 per
cent by commerce and trade, S per
by mining. and the remainder are in
the professions and the army and navy
and engaged in different employments
By the last census there were $685.
900 farms. of which 100000 were oc-
~eupied and titled by the owners and
$4,000 were leased. This is a larger
percentage of ownership l am told,
than can be found in any other coun-
try except Norway. The Swedish
peasants have always been free and
Independent and have owned the land
they till. They have occupied it for
1000 years at least. and during all
that period have not assimilated with
any of their neighbors. nor has their
blood been diluted by mixture with
any other nationality. so that, except
the Norwegians, they claim to be of
purer blood than other Europeans.
There is nothing In Sweden to at
tract immigrants. The increase in
population has been entirely natural
The number of foreigners in the coun-
try now is very small-only few
thousand. Ninety-nine per cent of
the inhabitants were born in Sweden
and more than IS per cent upon the
ground they occupy. The present
generation in Sweden. therefore. are
pure Swedes.
The peasants can trace back their
ancestry into the middle ages as well
as the nobility. The same families
have occupied the same farms for cen
turies. The soil has been cultivated
for thousands of years by the ances-
tors of those who cultivate 1t now.
Transfers of farm property are al
most unheard of and a farmer WAS
never known to move. The titles de-
scend by Inheritance. The families
are intermarried so that nearly the
entire population of certain districts
are related to each other.
The geographical seclusion of the
Swedes. separated from the rest of
the world by natural boundaries. has
had marked influence upon tn ma
national character Industry, ingenu-
ity honesty and economy are its dis
tinctive traits, and until recent years
the ability to supply their own wants
has been peculiarity of the Swedish
people, even when the scanty harvests
compelled the farmers to grind up
the bark of the birch tree and mix
1t with their bread Recently, how
ever. the migration from the country
to the manufacturing centers has di-
minished the productive power of the
agricultural population and has in
creased the number of mouths to be
fed. According to the official statis-
ties the Swedes pay annually:

The Holly Fair Association.

A meeting was held last week by
the Board of Directors of the
Holly Fair Association, to decide
as TO whether Fair should be
held ngain this year. After much
discussion. it was finally decided
that lis the Prowers County Fair
Association was going to hold
their first fair this year, and as the
Lamar people and the people in
the west end of the county had
supported the Holly Fair of 1900
SO Ii: crnI'' nnd heartily by con-
tributins money and premiums of
all kinds and by the support of
their presence, that the Holly
Fair Association would not hold a
Fair this year, but would extend
it's assistance to Lamar to make
the Prowers County Fair to be
held there, an unqualified success.
1t was therefore deemed best
that the Holly people return the
courtesies extended to them last
year from Lamar and the west end
of the county, by doing all in their
power to make the 1901 Fair at
Lamar credit to the county and
the east end of the valley, and the
Board Of Directors feel that if the
people of Holly and the east end
of the county are as hearty in their
cooperation with the Lamar fair
this year, as the Lamar people
were to the Holly Fair last year,
that the undoubted success of the
Lamar Fair is assured.
Therefore the Board of Directors
of the Holly Fair Association on
behalf of themselves and the peop-
le of Holly and vicinity extends
TO the Prowers County Fair Asso-
citation their hearty assistance and
cooperation in every way that
will tend to help that fair TO a
successful termination, and also
extends ii the best wishes for
fair meeting that will be credit
to the county.

Holly Fair Association.
