DENVER TRAMWAY TO
ENTER COAL FIELDS

Denver, July 1J.-The Denver News
says: The Denver Tramway Company
now throws down the gauntlet to the
Colorado II Southern road and the
Northern Coal Company. The tramwny
management has decided to 90 into the
coal traffic and to transport the coal
which it will mine. Plans have been
made TO develop properties which it is
estimated will produce 100000 tons of
coal year This product is to be
placed on the Denver market.
A tract of land comprising 2.640
acres ten miles northwest of Denver.
was recently secured under lease and
bond with privilege of purchase any
time within two years. The options
were made out in the name of j. II.
Simpson. Assignment of the bond and
lease has been made to S. n. Perry.

ern Railway Company IA tramway ell
terprise).
The tract Of land supposed to he un-
derlaid with high class Ignite coal, Is
embraced in the Faragher. Bunney.
Stepp, NJ. A. Tucker and Thomas +.
Tucker farms The theory is that sew
cral blanket veins of coal will be found
within Il reasonable depth at dist
ance of two or three miles from the
mountains Along the hogbacks four
veins of coal are exposed. all standing
perpendicular. The uplift of the noun
tains raised the horizontal layers of
coal, but it is believed that within Il
short distance of the range the coal
will be found in its original position.
This is to be determined by the drill.
and complete drilling outfit was yes
terdny set up on the Faragher farm
and work will be commenced this
morning. 1t is proposed to explore
the ground thoroughly and start sew
eral shafts as soon rs the value of the
coal deposit is determined. If the
tramway company does not purchase
the land it will have the privilege of
working the mines upon II royalty for
a period of twenty-five years.
The line is to be built into the coal
fields, and the coal delivered by cleo
tric power to coal stations in Denver
whose locations have as yet not been
announced. The tramway company
will supply itself with coal, and us the
company uses 10000 tons year it is
estimated that the saving will be many
thousands of dollars. The new power
plant of the company at the north end
of the Fourteenth street viaduct is be-
ing rapidly pushed.

c. f. & |. co. READY
TO SPEND $4,000, 900

Denver, July 15.-Ten millions of
dollars will be spent by the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company ut orce on its
various establishments throughout the
state. A large portion of this amount
will be expended in enlargins the steel
plant at Pueblo. The rest will be spent
in the purchase of improved machin-
cry and other facilities for the forty
or more mines the company owns in
the state.
The additional money for the i'm
provements is to be procured by the
sale of S1O,OOO,OOO worth of five per
cent. gold debentures, the issuance Of
which was yesterday authorized at q
meeting Of the stockholders of the
company. The stockholders voted to
increase the capitalization from 25O-
900 shares to 100000 shares. These are
worth at par 500 each, which makes
the present capitalization S40,0OO,O00.
But twO-thirds of the increase of
capital stock will be sold at present.
The debentureS mature in ten years
and are convertible into stock at any
time within five years after 1902. AT
the meeting yesterday 236000 shares
of the former total issue of 25O00O
We're Represented.
The certificate of increased capitali-
zation was filed yesterday morning
with the secretary of state the COM
pany paying II fee of S3,O33 No pro-
test was made to paying the tax,
though it is considerably increased on
account of the new revenue law. The
increase of capitalization makes the
largest of the independent steel and
iron companies in the United States.
Contracts have already been let for
, some of the improvements to be made
through the new appropriation. They
include additional furnaces. railroad
facilities and the erection of several
complete minor plants at Pueblo.

While corn has failed. alfalfa has
given an abundant yield. The condi-

tion as Il dry weather product. -
Wheat is nearly all in the stack. ~
many cases 1t has been harvested only
to be burned. As many ns 10000 acres
of wheat in the stack have been
burned during the last two weeks. The
fires start from the slightest causes.

when they are once started there is

them.
Trees are showing the effect of the

trees. \ look at the yellow and scared
fields, dry grass and trees rapidly be-
coming bare, would almost convince

Kansas is stricken with drought

to every boy and girl Of our country.
6-The liberality of men of wealth in
making large donations to institutions
of learning is to be strongly commend
ed and encouraged.
7-The public school system of state
should be Il unit from the kindergarten
to and including the university, and all
private institutions should endeavor to
work in harmony with the ideals of
public education so far as their special
purpose will admit them.
S-Legislation with respect to public
education must not wait for public sen
timent 1t should lead public senti
ment when necessary. School legisla-
tion should be under the general direc
ton of educational experts.
9-The association recognizes the
principle that the child has the same
right to be protected by law from is-
norance as from abuse. neglect and
hunger; and 1t therefore records with
approval that many of the leading
states of the Union have compulsory
education laws upon their statute
books.

1.-THE association watches with
deep interest the solution of the prob
lem of consolidating rural schools and
transporting pupils at the public ex-
pense. now attempted in many of our
leading states. We believe that this
movement will lead to the establish
ment of township and county high
schools and thus bring more advanced
education to rural communities.
12-The state should support and con-
troll institutions whose object is the
preparation of teachers for the public
schools.
13-NO one should be placed in
charge of n school who has not been
previously trained for the work of
teaching.
live believe that the standards for
school architecture. including the prop
er seating. heating. lighting, ventila
ton and ornamentation of public school
buildings should be as definite US the
standards for teaching.

KANSAS SUFFERS TERRIBLY
BOTH FROM DROUGHT AND HEAT

Topeka, July 13.-All records for heat
In the thirty-four years observations
kept by Chancellor Snow of the Uni
versty of Kansas were broken yester-
day, the mercury reaching a maximum
average for the state of 1o5.5 degrees
In Fort Scott the mercury registered
40 degrees.
The heat was accompanied by avery
light breeze from the south which
.ame as n breath from a red hot fur
mace. blasting and withering vegeta-
ton of all kinds.
\ careful perusal of crop reports
from all parts of the state indicate
that Kansas will not raise more tnan
50,OOU.OOO bushels of corn this year.
rhe crop will thus be less TIM third
of last years yield and less than IL
ifth of 1899. The late corn is all that
will yield anything, the early product
being given up more than two weeks
ago. Late corn is just half as high
as it usuayy is at this time of year.
This fact is proving its salvation. If
it had attained its growth it would
have gone soon after the early corn.
The fact that there has been no good
rain for three months has retarded the
late corn.
Opinions and reports differ as to the
aNtent of the damage to the corn. Sec

Mormons colonizlns wyoming.

Cheyenne, Wyo., July 15.-Plans for
Mormon colonists in the northern part
of Wyoming, will. If carried out sue
cessfully, increase the population of
the state between 10000 and $4,000 by
the time the next census is taken. The
entire Big Horn country. Jackson's
Hole section. Johnson county and
parts of Sheridan and Fremont coun-
ties are to be settled up by Mormon
colonists, principally from Utah and
Idaho. About 5000 Mormons have nj
ready settled in the Big Horn country
and 1000 more are now on their way
to that section by the overland trail.
All of the colonlsts coming into the
northern part of the state are trekking
from their former homes, carrying
stock and household goods with them.
As soon as the 1000 which are now
on their way TO the Big Horn section
are taken care of. arrangements for
the moving in of 5000 more will be
commenced. The movement is under
the sanction of the church and mission

Detroit, Mich. July 13.-The National
Educational Association last night at
the last session of its fortieth annual
convention. adopted Il declaration of
principles declaring that the problem
of elementary education is the most
important one with which the state
must deal
Following is Il synopsis of the decla-
ration of principles:
1.-The problem of elementary educa-
tion is the most important problem
with which the state must deal. To
provide for the universal educati ton of
youth Is the duty Of every state in the
Union. Residents of territory under
the direct control of the general govern
ment. including the Indian territory,
Alaska and our new possessions must
receive the benefits of free education
at the hands of the government. We
note with satisfaction the steps that
have been taken by the present admin
istra,ion to place the blessings of free
schools within the reach of all children
of all people under our flag.
2-The bureau of education. under
the direction of William T. Harris.
commissioner of education. has rem
dercd invaluable services 10 the cause
of education throughout the United
States. 1t is the judgment of this as
sociation that the powers of this bu-
renu should be greatly enlarged and
that the general direction of PUBLIC edu-
cation in the territory of the Emitted
States not under state control. includ-
ing our new possessions, should be part
of the duties of this bureau.
3-We reiterate the statement that
the public school should be the center
of the educational life of the commun-
i1y in which il is located. Especially
should this be true in rural districts,
Here should be found the public libra
~ for the use of all: here the educa-
tional extension courses should draw
the old and the young: here may lit
erary and social meetings be held
which will tend to uphold the mental,
social and spiritual life of the people.
1.-The subjects that may properly be
taught in elementary schools include
those that bear upon the ethical, phys
ical and aesthetic nature of the child
as well us its purely intellectual ma
ture.
5-Our system of education will not
be wholly free until every grade of

order only went to the mills of the
three companies that have been carry

best that this should be the case. The
order for the others to he called out
is to follow in circular letter sent to
every lodge of the Amalgamated asso-
citation in the country where there are
mills of the United Steel Corporati ton
in operation. 1t would include the
mills of the Federal Steel Company,

Tube Company. and wherever there

but estimated them Mt 150.0OO directly.
1t was his intention to have the strike
as general rs possible at the earliest
possible moment. SO as to force n set
tlement of the dispute the quickest.
AS soon as the mills shut down, the
shipment of raw material and coal and
coke for the various plants will cease.
1t is said the depression in this respect
is looked upon as threatening more
serious results than the simple clos
ing of the mills of the United States
Steel Corporation.

Discussions in the British parlia-
ment have recently brought out most
strikingly the backwardness Of Eng
land, as compared with the rest of the
civilized world. in providing free pub
lie school education. In Germany, TAX
ing the average of the different prov
inces, child must attend school until
he is sixteen years old; in America he
goes until he is fifteen. and in many
states still longer; but in England
only until he is twelve. The English
child is released from school earlier,
and, at best, is educated fewer years
at the expense of the state than are the
children of any other nation of the
first class except Russia. The discus
sions in parliament have been directed
toward finding a remedy for this
backwardness.
