LOCAL AND GENERAL TOPICS
Discussed by The Editor and Conn
piled from Exchanges.
The Grit-Advocate will be Enlarged

The Grit-AdvOcate will be Enlarged
As soon as a few minor details can be
arranged we shall change the size and
form Of The Grit-Advucate. In place
of four-column quarto paper we shall
print six-cOlumn quar.O: in other
words the size Of the paper will be
more than doubled. Although the
size OF the paper will be increased
more than two-fold, and the quality
will also be improved, the price Of sub
scriptions will remain unchanged. We
shall, however, expect every subscrib-
er to pay for the paper.
templating this change but not until
last Monday did we decide definitely
upon it. Upon that date we made a
trip to Holyoke and purchased news
paper press from J. II. Painter, editor
OF the State Herald. This press we
shall have brought to this place early
next week, and as soon as it can be set
up and some fixtures ordered from
Denver, the change in the size OF The
Grit-Advocate will become effective.
These details can be arranged in a
few weeks-surely by January lst, pos
sibly earlier.
We believe it to be our duty to our
patrons to furnish them the best pos
sible paper for the money, and while
the proposed change will cause us u
considerable immediate outlay in cash,
besides doubling the cost to us Of our
ready print service, we shall neverthe
less make it. We shall feel amply re-
imbursed for our increased expense by
the knowledge of the appreciation of
our friends-and, we hope, by their in
creased financial support.

A Good Cough Medicine

suffering from severe cough for the
last two months, aud it has effected a
cure. have great pleasure in recOm-
mending t.-W c Wockner. This is
the opinion of one of our oldest and
most respected residents, and has been
voluntarily given in good faith that
others may try the remedy and be ben
Gifted as was Mr. Wockper. This rem
edy is sold by by G Laveile, druggist.
In January statements of account
Will be sent to all delinquent subscrib-
ers, and all who do not respond will be
dropped from the list and an effort will
be made to collect from them by other
means. We appreciate the liberal pat
ronage bestowed upon us by the people
of this community during the last
three and one-half years. and we shall
make a stronger effort than heretofore
to merit continuation of that patron
age. We shall do this by publishing a
larger and better paper, and by treat
ing everybody alike. For instance:
The paper will be sent to no one who
does not pay his subscription. We can
not treat all alike by sending the paper
to the man who pays nothing for il the
same as to the man who pays his sub
scriptiOn regularly. In doing this we
are not treating the latter fairly. We
have only small delinquent list, but
even 50 it is too large. There should
be no names on this list: every reader
OF the paper is able to pay the small
subscription price. II he considers
the paper not worth one dollar a year
we should take it rs favor If he will
so notify us and We shall stop sending
it to him.

Business Mems Association.

1t was suggested to US Tuesday morn
ing by prominent business man of
Julesburg that, through the columns
Of our paper, and personally, we agi-
tate the proposition Of forming busi-
ness meu's association or chamber Of
commerce for the purpose Of advancing
the interests of the community. 1t
was pointed out by this gentleman
that Julesburg is probably the only
town Of any consequence in the state
that has not such an association, and
that something should be done at once
by our citizens towards improving the
general conditions. Where there is
no perceptible progress in a communi-
ty. there is usually stagnation, and a
stagnant condition of affairs is some
thing that every community should
avoid if possible.
We heartily agree with both propo-
sitions advanced by our friend. A bus
mess mems association should be form
ed, and it should include not only the
men who are engaged in merchantile
pursuits in town, but should include
The Grit-advocate., 1902-12-05

farmers as well. When such an asso-
citation is formed it should be the pur-
pose OF the organization to begin Il sys-
tematic effort to develop the natural
resources OF the locality. Irrigation
should be promoted and immigration
encouraged. Irrigation in this section
OF the state is in its infancy; it can and
should be developed and perfected.
While this is being done new people
can be induced to locate here, and the
natural development OF the country
will follow.
By all means let US organize busi-
ness men s association or chamber of
commerce. There is work, and plenty
of it, for such an organization to do.
II nothing more is accomplished, some
plan may be devised by which the
"knockers"-those pusillanimous indi-
viduals who are always finding fault
with existing conditions, but who will
make no effort to better those condi-
tions-if not driven out Of own, may
at least be muZzled and their power
for evil be curtailed.

Prof. E. D. HOvey's Opinion With
Regard to the Devastation
by Pelee's Eruption.
SAYS THE PEOPLE WERE AsPHYxIATED.
A Tornado of suROcRtins suIphuret-
ted Hydrogen Gas Wrecked the
Buildings Of st. Pierre and Killed
the Inmates, and Fire Completed
the Ruin.

New York, May 27.--E. o. Hovey,
assistant curator of the Museum of
Natural History, who went to Martin
ique on the cruiser Dixie to examine
the volcanic phenomena, cables the
Herald from Castries, st. Lucia:
"St. Pierre can only be compared
to Pompeii. The devastation and des.
olation are even worse.
"It is evident that tornado of suf-
locating gas wrecked the buildings,
asphyxiated the people, fire then com.
pleting the ruin. This accords with
the statements which has been made
that asphyxiation of the inhabitants
preceded the burning of the city, the
gas being sulphuretted hydrogen, ig-
nited by lightning or the fires in the
city. The same tornado drove the
ships in the roadsted to the bottom
of the sea or burned them before
they could escape. This comes the
nearer to being a sheet of flame thar
anything heretofore reported from
any volcano.
"Mud was formed in two ways-by
the mixture in the atmosphere of dust
and condensed steam, and by cloud
bursts on the upper dust-coveret
slopes of the cone washing down vast
quantities of fine, light dust.
"No flow of lava has apparently at
tended the eruption as yet, the pure
ly explosive eruptions thus far ap
parently bringing no molten materia
to the surface. There is no chang,
in the coast line from Fort De France
to st. Pierre.
"The great emission of suffocatins
gas and the typical cloudburst ero
sion, with the resulting streams O.
mud, are among the new features
which Pelee has added to the scien
tific knowledge of VOLCANOES"

PEACE SEEMS ASSURED.
The London Papers Seem Agreed That
Peace in south Africa WIN Soon
Be Announced.

London, May 26.--The Daily Mail
this morning says the cabinet coun-
ell to be held to-day will decide upon
points Of detail, mostly, Of financial
nature, which have been raised by
the Beers in the peace negotiations.
Great Britain's decision in the mat
ter will then be communicated to the
Vereining conference by the dele
gates at Pretoria, says the paper, and,
being the best obtainable terms, they
will almost certainly be accepted.
The results should be announced Off
cially either Thursday or Friday Of
this week, the date upon which King
Edwards birth is celebrated
Peace is quite certain, says the
Daily Mail, and the delegates at Pre-
toria are only engaged in endeavor-
ing to gild the pill for the Vereining
conference to swallow.
The Daily Mail says further:
"Our dispatches from Pretoria, as
sert that numerous communications
are passing between Lords Kitchener
and Miner in South Africa and Lon
don.
"Lord Kitchener, although he is
still full of energy, is much aged in
appearance as result of the severe
and continuous strain which he has
undergone. The consensus of opin-
ion is that the recent negotiations
have proved Lord Kitchener to be a
great diplomatist as well as a great
soldier.
''It is difficult to appreciate the
magnitude of the difficulties Kitchen
er has had to contend with. The Boel
leaders are all deeply impressed with
his personality, and trust him implic
lily.
at is understood that Lord Milnel
(the British high commissioner il
South Africa) has gracefully admit
ted that the ultimate credit for the
accomplishment of the great task Ii
due to Lord Kitchener"
