II million dollars more. Business blocks
and residences bring up the total well
toward S5,OOO,OUD.
All of this money-all of this SOL
uO,OW-is money not now in circula
ton in Colorado. a largt part of it
will come from the East in exchange
for stocks and bonds and other securi-
ties. From the East will come the
money for the library, and for the pub
lie improvements. And what money
does not come from the East will come
out of vaults. 1t is money which Colo
RADIO people have been holding until
the time seemed ripe for investment,
and which they are now going to put
in circulation.
1t was proved again and again by
political economists in the currency
discussions of few years ago that an
increase of $40 per capita in the circu-
lating medium meant great prosperity
and business activity. But here is an
increase of SO per capita. 1t does
not take much of a political economist
to see what this means for the pros
perity and development of the state in
the next few years.

amounts likely to be expended soon:

After a trip to Holland to witness
the annual display Of tulips Charles
l.. Hutchinson recently returned to
Chicago. While away Mr.. Hutchinson
paid n flying visit to London and Paris,
but spent nearly all his time inspecting
the tulip farms of the Dutch people.
"a visit to Holland while the tulips
are In bloom is one of the most pleas
ant trips one can take" said Mr..
Hutchinson. II went over for that
special purpose and was amply repaid
for my trouble. 1t is gorgeous sight
to drive through the tulip farms. The
flowers begin to bloom about the mid
die of April and continue until the list
of May. The country for miles is a
mass of the blooms, and 1t Is almost
like fairyland. The people raise tulips
there like we do wheat and corn here.
They gain a good income from the sale
Of the bulbs. ."-Chicago Tribune.

CHOICE MISCELLANY


The postal authorities of Great Brit
ain are having trouble with the word
"only" on the face of the post card.
Several attempts have been made to
avoid ambiguity. "The address only
to be written ON this side' was held to
bar the use of typewriter or print
ing press, which was not at all the in
tention of the postoffice. The 'only"
has now been dropped, in Difference to
colonial precedent, and there is no di-
rect prohibition against carrying the
letter over to the face Of the post card.
Yet the correspondent who tries that
plan will hardly be blessed by the
recipient who is fined a penny. The
postal authorities Of this country wres-
tied with the same problem. Six at
tempts have been made to find brief,
elegant and unambiguous legend. An
early postal card was inscribed, Moth
ing but the address can be placed on
this SIDE" which was neither true nor
elegant. Nothing but the address to
be on this side" was more to the point.
But 1t looked clumsy, and the next Is
sue had write only the address on
this side" which was objected to as
barring the typewriter. write the
address only on this side, the message
on the other" followed and was
promptly criticised as being both clum-
sy and ambiguous. Then the word
"only" was dropped, without much i'm
provement. Finally Uncle Sans hire
inps paye uD the struggle TO he orig
inal and simply adapted the French
announcement into "This side for ad-
dress only"

the William A. colllery, Duryea, by
Sheriff Schadt to leave the stockade ex-
pired at noon Saturday, and the men
who are charged with the shooting of
the striker marched out, in the midst Of
ieers from thousand miners. The
sheriff, with his deputies, took posses
sion OF the coliery.
That the companies can well afford to
give their miners an increase is proven
by the offer of the Erie and Pennsyl-
vania, both OF which hold out 10 per
cent increase to all employees on strike
who will return to work.
The first effort of the strikers to
carry the union into politics was appar-
ent when the candidacy OF J. E. Null
laly for the legislature from the Third
district was announced. He is the Sec
retary of the stationary firemen and has
been active in the strike. He will run
on the labor ticket If one is formed, and
if not independently.

One thing that especially impresses
the Chicago visitor to Boston is the
marked courtesy and consideration
shown to passengers by conductors
and motormen. The men are carefully
selected in the first instance and are
given n very thorough course of train

charge of car. Conductors and mo-

A Disconnected Detective.

A good story Of Michael Davitt has
been revived by the Illustrated London
News apropos of the recent publication
Of his new book, 1.-THE Boer Fight For
Freedom" The story pertains to one
of Davitt's speeches as organizer Of
the Irish Land league and runs as fol-
lows:
"ue lashed his large audience into
sort of frenzy by his structures upon
English rule and Irish slavery. During
his most impassioned and eloquent If
least loyal passage he was interrupted
by the arrival Of the government short
hand reporter, who dashed up on an
outside jaunting car accompanied by
three members of the Irish constabu-
larry with. rifles and side arms fixed.
The fresh arrival Immediately pre-
pared to take down the words that
were burning from the man who was
at that time second to none, including
Charles Stewart Parnell, as the chosen
Of the people. Davitt paused and gazed'
at his new hearer, who awaited him
notebook and pencil In hand, and then
turning to the mass Of upturned faces
he finished his peroration in the wild
elOquence of their native language, and
heaven knows what treason he emit
ted, for certainly the government re-
porter did not, as he gazed blankly at
the speaker. The audience understood
and appreciated his purport, express
ing their appreciation in wild and un-
bounded screams ana Shouts. vi

change his business from horses to au-
tomobiles. At any rate band of gyp-

country in gayly decorated automo-

painted deep green, and the running
gear is red. The decorations are In
gold. The chief Of this twentieth CEN
tury gypsy band Is enthusiastic over
the automobile. He is able to make
fifty miles day without any trouble.
AS yet he is still dealing In horses, but
his successor may prefer to abandon
horses altogether and to go through the
country with a number Of automobiles
which he will be ready to barter in
horse trade fashion.-Worcester Spy.

the screw is placed under the bottom
instead of aft The hull Is materially
changed In form, being tlatter and the
ships draft thereby considerably less

the consumption Of coal of about 20
per cent will be effected. The inventor

The story of the Laying Out of n
Great Peach Orchard.

Ahc VI the hhyhhS out VA -
Great Peach Orchard.
In the Horse World ]. II. Hale. the
greatest peach grower In the world,
tells of his struggles and successes in
the business. He gives the following
Incident in telling of the laying out Of
his orchard:
Trees are cultivated more easily If In
proper alignment, so after the field was
plotted set the surveyor running lines
for the rows of trees. He had not been
working long when one Of the old plan
tation darkies came, hat In hand, and
said: "Cnp'n, dun reckon 1t cost
right smart O money to do it dat way.
Lulu and l can do 1t heap sight
quicker and, l reckon, about as well as
dat ar man wild de machine" On in
quiry found Lulu was his old gray
mule. / had my doubts, but at his ear
nest pleading consented that he should
make trial way down on a corner
block, where 1t would not show much.
Old Henry cut three long straight poles
from the woods, then some tufts Of
cotton were tied around the tops of the
poles to make them white and more
easily seen at distance. The poles
were just the length Of the distance
wanted between the rows so stand
ard Of measure was always ut hand.
Placing one pole perfectly upright on
the corner of block where the first
row was to stand, Lulu was headed for
the farthest end of the field, keeping
the poles always In sight midway be-
tween her long upright ears, so that
Henry had sight" that made his
aim true. l overlooked operations until
the third row was finished and then
rushed to stop the surveyor and turn
the whole job over to Lulu! The work
was absolutely perfect, and now, with
more than 100000 trees in what am
often told Is the best arranged orchard
In America, give due credit to the
darky and the mule for the orderly
way In which the trees are planted.

reports after careful examination
that sufficient electric power could be
developed from the waterfalls of the
Alps to run all the railways Of Switzer-
land. There would be little or no re-
duction of cost, he says, but the time
may come when the change from
steam to electricity may be desirable
because Switzerland has to import all
the coal she uses. From twenty-one
waterfalls, some of which are already
partially utilized for industrial pur'
poses, $4,000 horsepower could be de-
veloped, but only G0,000 horsepower
would be required to replace the steam
power now used on the railroads.
