EXTRAORDINARY SCRAP BOOKS.
King Edward Is Having Eight Big
Ones Made About His Mothers

King Edward Is Having Eight Big
Ones Made About His Mothers
Death.
Amid all the bother of getting him
self properly throned, named and
crowned, King Edward VII has snatch
ed time to devise a unique memorial to
his mother. Word comes from London
that he has ordered, through the lead
ing international clipping bureaus,
eight sets of scrap books, each set to
contain whatever was printed or
spoken of the late Queen at the time
OF her death. The clippings, gathered
in every country and in all the tongues
and ranging from the highest illustrat-
ed weeklies to the cheapest provincial
prints, fill one hundred volumes, al
though the pages are of full newspaper
size. They are pasted upon light gray
bristol board and each page hinged be-
fore binding. The binding is of mo-
rocco-half the sets red, half green.
There will be gold clasps and corner
pieces and each volume stamped with
the royal arms in heavy gilt.
The binding would be black were the
volumes destined to remain in Great
Britain. The destiny of all but one set
is to be scattered through Great Brit
ain, India, Australia, New Zealand.
Canada, South Africa, each will receive
a set as the gift of the King. The
mourning color varies so throughout
the empire it was thought best to use
ordinary book tints. His Majestys
loyal colonies will no doubt appreciate
the gift-though the odds are that they
would be better pleased with books set
ting forth his own coronation splen-
doris.
The children of the late Empress
Frederick have ordered the same bu-
reau to make books about her. but the
volumes will be so carefully edited as
to be of modest dimensons-that is, as
scrap books go. Only kind things and
notable pictures are to be included. The
clippings are from German, French and
English sources. The mount is gray
bristol board, the binding dead black
morocco with dull gold clasps.
Others besides royalty pay tribute
to the scrap book maker. Mr.. and Mrs.
George Gould are at present nightly
interested in one that is making about
their new sea-born daughter. It be-
gins with the announcement of the ut.
tie ones birth, printed upon a sheet OF
heavy cream white paper and mounted
in morocco. These announcement

are more than twenty big pages nileu

mother, also pictures of her clotnes'

ty well everything else. But the pls
book, which is to be blue bound ana
gold clasped. will be sent home WIN

1t goes still more to show the differ
ences in the times, that the young girl
went obediently with the principal, and
the pretty hat was changed for an
other, in village style, quite different
from the New York hat. The funny
part of the affair came later, and the
girl had sufficient fun in her nature to
enjoy it, though she had been a loser
in the transaction. She was visiting
friend in the town one day when the
belle and beauty of the place arrived to
make call. She was Charmingly
dressed, and carried herself with an cir
of exclusiveness which might be ex-
pected of one who knows that physi-
cally and sartorially she is everything
that can be desired.
But the little schoolgirl in the corner
in her simple little village hat could

flowers which she had brought up from
the city in her trunk.

April 1, 1900, fourteen cases for
the violation of ordinances were
tried by the police magistrate as is
shown by summary Of his report.
Total fees earned by his honor
$50, of which $21.5o was col
lected from defendants and $28. so
paid by city. Fines collected and
paid to the city $50, which is SO. SO
more than the Office cost the
city. The report closes as follows:
"This is The total salary OF the
Office for the past year, except the
honor which cannot be estimated
in dollars and cents" Since April
!, 1900, the machinery Of the police
court, with all its pondersous in
tricacy Cor intricate ponderosity)
has been set in motion twenty-five
times. Twenty-Five separate and dis
tinct culprits have stood awed and
trembling before the awful ma ajesty
of Judge Finity. In these cases
the judge earned a total of S83. SO
in fees, OF which amount he ex-
tracted S62. IS from the defendents
and the city paid $aI.1s. The
total amount of fines collected and
paid to the city treasurer was S6o,
80 that the city is ahead just
S47.8s on the deal. His honor
says the salary should be raised as
soon as he goes out OF office but
that SO long as he holds the posi-
ton it is ample, as he is from
Coolidge and his needs conse-
quently limited.
1t would be we'll to remember
that the police court is open for
business and is ready, willing and
anxious to dispense such justice
as it has in stock, at all times and
to all comers, whether in the ca
pacity of prosecuting witnesses or
defendants. You can take your
choice. The judge is as wise as
Solomon, as learned as Blackstone
and as just as Aristides. II any
one knows Of the violation of the
ordinances of the city, he should go
to the proper officer and lodge a
sworn complaint in the police court
This is his duty as "good citi-
zen" and this he should do instead
of resurrecting his old tarnished,
dilapidated and unused halo and
going over town with meek, holy
and long suffering look upon his
face, accusing the mayor of failing
TO- do his duty. The mayor. for
aught he knows may have q wife
or two to support and may not
have the time outside his business
hours to play the sleuth.

HOW IT HAvpt.Eo.

------
The organization OF the town into
city of the second class does not
meet with the unanimous approval
of the taxpayers Of La Junta.
A city government with ell its
unnecessary machinery is deemed
an unnecessary burden = this
time. While the recent census
returns show population Of
nearly 1000 only about oofeside
within the city limits proper and
are subject to city tax. North La
Junta, Home Place, the OHio Ad-
dition, Lofiland's Additio6 and
West End Subdivision are ali
outside.
Apropos the city Of La Junta it
is a matter Of curiosity to some to
know how it happens that La
Junta becomes city of the second
class while other and larger towns
over the state continue to do busi-
ness at their old stands as incor-
porated towns. The statutes pro-
vide that within six months after
the returns of any United States
or state census are fledin the Office
of the secretary of state, the gov
ernor, auditor, and secretary of
state shall meet and classify the
towns in the state according to
their population. Places with pop
ulations Of over IS. 900 must be
classified as cities of the first
class; under $4,000 and over
1000 cities of the second
class; and places under 1000 as
incorporated towns. The returns
OF the twelfth United States census
have not yet been filed in the sec
retary of states Office, SO the ques-
tion naturally arises why are we
classified as a city of the second
class1 The following correspond
ence sheds some light into the
dark places:
La JUNTA, Feb. IS. 1901.
Hon. David A. Mills, Secretary of
State, Denver, Colo:
DEAR SIR-I have received the
executive order sent me by your
Office, notifying US of the classifi-
cation of La Junta Is city of the

tion, or whether only a part Of
said returns showing the popula-
ton Of La Junta are on file.

La Junta is about to select for
the first time, by the direct voice
OF the people, a complete set Of
city officials. She is soon to take
her place among the cities of Colo

whether her inhabitants have pro-

ter in the official personnel Of the
city. Happily the change came,
and for years the board OF trus-
tees has been made up Of some of
the best busin. SIS men and heaviest
taxpayers in the community. These
men have been progressive and
have gone on from one public i'm
provement &c another until the
town can now gracefully assume
her new title of city. The law has

these things exist in measure,
but where do they not exist, to

But we have among US those
who seem unable or unwilling to
compare present with past condi
tons, and to observe the contrast.
These people deem it proper to go

The new street sprinkling sys-
tenn soon to be inaugurated will
obviate one OF the greatest dis
comforts to which people living in
this high and dry altitude are sub
ject. Heretofore the sprinkling
OF streets has been performed in
a somewhat desultory and unsatis-
factory manner, but under the new
system the whole Of the business
part OF the city will be kept free
from dust.
After waiting until the last week
Of congress, the administration
has suddenly presented an amend
ment to the army appropriation
bill, establishing an American su-
zeranity over the Philippines. The
dictionary defines a suzerain as "a
fsudal lord or lord paramount. !"
II has not yet been officially settled
whether the presidents title is to
be "Lord Paramount" or just
plain Lord William"
La Junta's pipe dream will soon
be over. Holmes & Allen, the Den
yer firm having the contract for
the wooden stave pipe line from
Highland addition to the reser-
voir will at once commence taking
up the old line and replacing it
with entirely new material. This
firm has from the first shown a
disposition to do the fair thing
and to furnish the city perfect
article of pipe. The material first
used proving defective, they are
now replacing it with different
kind.
The city now has I6, 1851 feet or
600 miles OF sanitary sewer. The
total cost OF the sewer has bee n
$40, ,67S.5 or about 66c per foot,
of which $36ao,55 has been paid
by general tax and $7o57.9s paid
by special assessments against
private property abutting the
sewer. We have brick and cement
sidewalks constructed or in course
of construction to the amount of
about eighteen blocks which has
slso been paid for by special as
sessments.
Within the last year the Board
Of Trustees has passed an ordi-
nance concerning the numbering
Of homes and business places of
La Junta. BY its provisions every
house IN the town, Of whatever
description, is provided with a
uumber. Since we are about
(more or less willingly to assume
city airs, it is time that all busi-
ness houses were numbered. II
may do for merchants in some
towns to refer in their ads to
their locations as two doors
north of postofiice, or one door
west Of Bill Smiths meat shop,
but for CITY like La Junta this
savors too much Of primitiveness to
be tolerated. The ordinance pro-
vides that upon application to the
city engineer he must furnish
property owners with their proper
numbes.
