Steamboat Springs is entering upon
an era of prosperity, which is verified
by the fact of outside people acquiring
50 much OF our town property. Town
lots, both business and residence, have
advanced very materially In value dur

This is very gratifying to us and goes
to show that people have confidence in
the future of the town and are holding
their property up to its value. We have
the mineral springs of all kinds. delight

GENERAL BULLER MAY

Remarkable Speech Raises
Storm In England.
HE IS ADVISED TO RESIGN

Press Amazed at His Indiscretions, Es-
pecially In Advising Surrender of Ly-
dysmith, the Greatest Humiliation
of the War.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE storm raised
by General Buffers remarkable outburst
yesterday afternoon continues to grow.
The speech is the one topic of discus.
sion. and there is general anticipation
that disciplinary measures will follow
unless General Butler himself takes the
advice Of such a conservative supporter
of the government as The Standard and
resigns.
The tone of the press is generally one
of surprised amazement at his indiscre.
tions The people of England have gen.
orally stuck TO him throughout, and his
wife's social influence has been most
powerful and has even reached the
court. It had been decided that he
would be elevated to the peerage on the
next honor list, but it is now doubtful,
II, after yesterdays confession that he
advised the surrender of Ladysmith,
ga humiliation compared with which, !"
as The Standard says, ''all other re-
verses of the war would have been
trivial, either the king or the people
will continue to favor him.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Surgeon Gen
eral rnburg's annual report TO the
secretary of war says the health in the
army was unusually good during the cal
endar year 1900 The admission rate to
hospitals for all causes in the army,
volunteers and regulars, with a mean
strength of 10O,389. was 231l.81 per
thousand Of strength, compared with
2I7S.O6 in the previous year, but dur
ing the year 1899 only 80, $50 men Of a
total of 1O5, 546 were serving in the
Philippines, while in the past year G6,
862 Of the total Of 1OO,3S9 were thus
serving.
In the Philippine islands, with mean
strength of 66,8S2, the admission rate
was 1921. 96, as compared with 1895. 50
in the previous year, this increase being
mainly due TO disease among the volun-
reers, the ratio for which rose from
1859.21 to 276l.79. The regulars on the
other hand showed a marked decrease
in the ratio OF admission q disease,
which fell from 2454. 10 to 2197.73.
Two-thirds of the admission for dis.
ease were caused by malarial fevers and
GiarrhOeal diseases. The deaths from
all causes amounted to 28 Is per 1000 OF
strength, as compared with 80. 58 in the
previous year. Disease caused 20. 26
deaths, the principal cause being dysen.
terry, which, with other intestinal dis
eases, gave g ratio of 998. The rate
from injury amounted TO 8.49.
The death rate in China was 47.76 per
1000 Of strength, %. So from disease and
"a. IA from injury.
From the close Of the calendar year
1900 to the latest reports the health OF
the troops in the Philippines was stead

The health of the troops in Cuba dur
ing the year was excellent. AS result
city aud town has had it's sanitary con-
dlUions improved.
Speaking of special diseases General
Stern berg says:
The steady decrease of late years IL
the admissions for alcoholism among
the men Of the regular army is maCter
for graduation. Military officers
may be said TO be unanimous in their
opinion that this may be the result of
the establishment of the post exchange

less drunkenness among the troops in
