Advertising Florence.

We got hold of Connecticut pape-
today in which appeared communi-
cation from prominent Florenc g
citizen. We reproduce it to show
how at least one man is advertising
Florence, and it should stand as an
example to others of us here in the
west Every letter that leaves Flor
ence for the east should contain iufor-
nation concerning Colorado, Fremont
county and Florence. 1t would do
more good than can be estimated in
figures. The communication in ques-
tion follows:
II send you two clippings from
your Florence exchange, to which
your attention is called, to the pro-
gress of our town that had one short
street in it when | came here and
opened business. An electric street
railway is building to three coal pro-
ducing towns, three and four miles
away, Canon City, our county seat,
miles, and Portland miles, a total
of 22 miles of street railway. Port
land is completing its second Portland
cement works. The first has been in
operation for two years, manufactur-
ing to compete with the whole world,
whose raw material comprises hun
dreds of acres. and is practically in
eXhaustible. The United States is
supplied from Europe and Germany
principally, and l have imported many
cars worth here IS per barrel, now a
superior article is made at our door
for 50. 40 per barrel of 400 pounds and
will pl actically stop the importation,
in the west at least, of foreign cement
Colorado furnishes practically every
mineral known to science, and 1t is
| hard to predict where her resources
will end, and not week passes but
some new and valuable discovery is
dug out of our mountains and hills.
There is more oil drilling now being
prosecuted than at any previous time,
larger than in any other district Of
the county Canon City Clipper.

ton That this action will not consist IN simple
rejection of the American note cannot be DOUBT
ed in view of the obligations which the powers
undertook in the treaty.
The most recently published regulations for

Rumania still PERSISTS in treating the Jews

reason Rumanian officials will not succeed IN
making an impression with the assertion that

Rumania should either remain silent or send
a protest to the United States against lynch
law and the treatment of the F1liplnos lest the
negroes and Filipinos all emigrate to Rumania.
