In CASE the railroads OF Coiora-
do are compelled to pay the tax
charged against them under the
revenue law OF 1901 there will be
only two ways in which they can
make such payment and protect
their bondholders; one would be a
material advance in freights on all
local Colorado traffic; the other, a
material reduction in the wages OF
their employees. The average tax
per mile on railroads in the United
States is S237, while the average
tax per mile in Colorado. under
the revenue law of 1901, is $64I.
The total tax charged TO the Santa
Fe in Otero county is s6s. 35,74-
43I per cent OF the total tax 10 be
collected in the county. The ques-
ton OF railroad taxation is a very
important one to all railroad EN-.
ployes. An exhorbitant tax on
railroads means one OF two things,
either reduction OF operating ex.
penses. including wages, or an
increase in traffic charges. The
people always pay the freight in
any event.

A Macclesfeld man was in very bad way
of health. After much anxious thought ne
determined to consult doctor, relates Lon
don Tit-Bits.
The latter, after a most minute exam

prescribed for him accordingly. He was
very. particular IN giving full directions as
to diet.
A light breakfast-cup of cocoa, dried
toast, and other simple fare; plain dinner
chop, no potatoes, glass of claret; and
only one cigar per day. He was most care
ful to impress the fact upon the patient 3
mind that the one cigar should never be ex-
ceeded.
The patient went away and returned in
week worse than ever. The doctor was
nonplussed.
Upon inquiries he found that the man
had most faithfully carried out all his in
structions to the letter.

medicine: You've had more than one

Salt Lake City, Aug. 19.-The dead
body of Peter Anderson, known as
the hermit prospector of Park City,
has been found in his lonely cabin
near the Anchor mill in the Park
City mining district. Anderson had
evidently been dead for weeks. 1t
Is believed that he died from starva-

$1,70o in cash was found secreted in
the cabin. 1t is believed that fully
$4,000 lies to his credit in various

authorities not allowing ships to make
landing without permit from them,
with the exception of whalers, their
own government steamers, American
vessels engaged in the kryolite trade,
exploring parties, or vessels in dis
tress. Consequently, the tourist does
not find it an easy matter to inspect
Greenland. The Danes use these
measures to protect their wards, the
Eskimos, over whom they are kindly
rulers, much interested in the welfare
of those in their charge. The Eskimos
repay their kindness in kind, are gen.
tie and docile. Crime is almost I'M
known. They attend churches and
schools, and have a considerable de-
gree of civilization.
Some coal is mined in Greenland,
and the quarrying of kry olite, which
stone is valuable for the alum and
soda into which it is transformed, is
considerable industry; but the ex-
tensive industries of Greenland are
the whale and seal fisheries.
The natives cruise among the fords
in boats made of skins. The sealskins
are stretched on a frame 16 to 20 feet
long, and 2 feet wide, having only
one narrow opening, into which, the
ative crawls wrapped in a cloak that
is sewed to the boat. With his double
paddle he can make so miles a day in
this boat. Another kind of boat, also
made of skins, a fat-bottomed one, is
usually propelled by women.
The old native houses were built of
stone, boards and turf, where neither
light nor air could enter. On the east
coast, where a community may con-
sist of one house, in which will herd
sometimes half a hundred persons, the
conditions of these novels is some
thing indescribably dreadful. Since
the Danes have set the example of bet
ter housing, and the use of glass win
dows, many of the natives are follow
ing the fashion. The governors sent
out by Denmark are men of culture,
and, of course, their standard of Hv-
ing has it's effect. Both sexes dress
very much alike, although the differ
entiated European dress is making
Roadway among the Eskimos. Their
own costume is well adapted to the
rigors of their long cold; sealskin
pantaloons, close jacket and hood, and
big boots.
Protestant missionaries have la
bored with zeal in Greenland, and al
most all the Eskimos are Protestants.
In 1874 the Moravian Brothers entered
this desolate field, and found the ma
tives very submissive.
Though officially the whole of Green
land belongs to Denmark, the actual
Danish territory is the inhabited part
of the west coast. There are two
governors" for South and North
Greenland, and commercial agents in
all the stations along the seaboard.
The Moravian missionaries also have
considerable influence. As to COM
merce-"Greenland trade is an abso-
lutte monopoly of the Danish govern
ment, which maintains along the coast
some 60 factories where European
wares are given in exchange for such
local produce as sealskins and train
oil, eiderdown feathers, walrus ivory,
fox. bear and reindeer peltry."

Greenland was discovered by the
Norsemen in the year $40. About
hundred years later it was colonized
by Eric the Red, who, to attract to it's
shores immigrants from Iceland, gave
it the alluring name of "Green-land."
Christianity was introduced in Eric's
time by his son Left, converted to that
religion when on a visit to Norway.
The records of the bishops throw a
little light on the history of Green
land from Eric's time down to the mid
die of the fourteenth century, after
which there is blank for some time.
Greenland was rediscovered in 1855 by
John Davis, who had been sent out by
the British government in search of a
