PIONEERS OF THE SAN
JUAN COUNTRY

Jerome Blanchard of Denver was a
visitor at Silverton last week, coming
for the purpose of looking up the loca-
tion of some rich discoveries that he
made in company with the Baker par
~ that explored the Silverton site in
81 and gave it the name of Bakers
Park. They had terrible weather
among the mountains on those days,
and the winter storms We're too much
for the party. They scattered and 1t
is rumored from the finding of wag-
on wheel in the gap which now bears
the name, Wagon Wheel Gap, that
they passed along that road on their
way over the Rockies. MIR Blanch-
ard was only Is years of age at the
time, and the memory of his early
days contains that of a pretty rough
experience among the SHOWS of the
western sleeps. In the busy town
which now occupies the basin, he
found on his recent visit quite a diff
terent place from that which he left
forty years ago. Mr.. Howard who
was also one of the Baker party, and
now lives at Howardsville. can tell
better than any one else how the
place has grown out of its snow drifts
and become a populous town. Silver
ton or Bakers Park, as it was call
ed. didn't amount to much for twelve
years after its first discovery. Then
Colonel +. NJ. Snowdon came with his
party, and built the little log cabin
on Snowdon avenue, where he still
keeps bachelor quarters, in order to
save the townsite, which had been To-
Gated by the company. and provide
place in which to hold the first elec-
tion in "A. There was nothing in
the place then but mountains sur
rounding valley, green with tall
grass. beautiful with the varied hues
of wild flowers. musical with the rip
ping of crystal streams, the home of
rabbits, grouse and white quail. From
one log cabin the prosperous town of
Silverton has gradually grown up.
From time to time people have gone
away in droves, disheartened by the
terrible winters, the snowslides that
carried houses and telegraph poles
even after the railroad was built, and
the bitter piercing cold. But more
people came attracted by the wealth
of the region, and, in spite of natures
threats. Silverton grew and fourished.
Colonel Snowdon saw life in the
rough before he went 20 Bakers Park
In 46 he crossed the plains from Mis-
souri,. enroute TO Santa F'e and Las
Vegas N NJ where he remained dur-
ing the Mexican war. There was no
Kansas then. nor Nebraska, nor Colo
rado. only miles of prairie land COW
cred with grass and wild Indians and
great herds of buffaloes everywhere.
What wonderful progress and life
those plains have seen since them

The mean temperature has been

showers have occurred in Eel Paso. Rio

Crops in general have not done well
during the past week Though irri-
gated crops are still in fairly good con-
dition. the acreage actually watered
is less than heretofore, the present
supply being scarcely enough for even
the oldest bitches. Harvesting of
wheat and oats Is well advanced in the
Grand and Uncompahgre valleys. and

have been less affected than other
crops by the adverse conditions, are
for the most part maintaining thrifty
growth. Cutting of the second crop

scanty pasurage. Large shipments
of peaches and apricots are being
made on the western slope. In the

GUARDED BY FLOWERS.
An Equestrian Statue in Germany
Thus Protected from ROmpinH
Children.

A pretty story, which shows an adj
mirable trait common to almost all
German children, is told the Youths
Companion by a recently returned
traveller.
In German city she saw fine
equestrian statue in bronze, around
the base of which bloomed gay lit
tie garden.
The visitor exclaimed with delight
over both the flowers and the statue,
and expressed some wonder that the
blossoms were left entirely unprotect-
ed by either railing or notice.
"In our country I am afraid some
of the children might be tempted to
pick a flower now and then, as this
seems aside from the busy part of the
city, she said to her German friend.
"Oh, that would never be here" said
the friend, in amazement. "Why, the
garden was planted because the chill.
dren would mount to the back of the
horse and ride, and the bronze was
getting the wrong sort of polish; but
when the flowers began to come up
there was no more trouble.
sour children are very fearful lest
they should hurt any little growing
thing, and they would see the green
peeping through the earth and not
take another step toward the tempt
ing horse"

now make it their ambition to be-
come, not consulting experts, but
executives. Among military and naval
cadets, the most brilliant and success
full students eagerly enter the engin-
eering corps of the service, and be-
come in after years the most thor
ough and successful officers, says the
Engineering Magazine. The same ten
dency is pervading commercial life.
This state of affairs is becoming more
and more prevalent. The managers of
street railway, gas, electric lighting
and similar companies are, in the main,
men of engineering training. The
general management of broader man
ufacturing industries is being concen-
trated in the same direction. The de-
partmental organization of commerce
requires men who shall be, first of all,
able executives-second, experts in
the departmental work. In all except
ing purely specialized branches-such
as the legal or financial is being
made of the trained engineer. Sales
men of mechanical goods, railway
transportation department officials
and incumbents of many other appar-
emily unrelated fields are made from
engineering timber. The highest ex-
ecutive positions in the great indus
tries are accessible to men of mechan-
ical training and common sense.

lean missionaries in particular has
been too often displayed to leave room
for any doubt of it's existence, says
the Boston Transcript. Although the
Greek church is the national religion
of Bulgaria, many Bulgarian public
men are graduates of or have been
students at Robert college, in Con-
stantinople, an institution affiliated
with our missionary enterprises. In
deed, Bulgaria's political and social
development has been in no small de-
gree stimulated by the culture spread
by our missionary efforts. There is
not the slightest ground for the many
slurs and sneers at Bulgaria which
have appeared in the American press
since Miss Stone was taken captive.
1t may be added that the Bulgarians
have what many persons we'll deem
the national virtue Of hating the
Turks intensely.
