The ANNOUNCEMENT of new glass

hailed with delight by readers of the
Gazette a few days ago. At that time
the movement was taking definite
shape, although it was deemed best to
make no post We statement until it
was a foregoue conclusion that the
works would be built. 1t is now posi-
lively known that in a short time two
squares, now simply fields, in the ex.
IRENE northwestern part of the city
will have upon them a modern glass
plant, equipped with the newest and
latest appliances, at which a patent
milk bottle, which is destined to be.
come a household necessity, will be
manufactured. The company will re-
quire skilled labor, and it is believed
when operstioDs begin in earnest about
two hundred hands will be re-
quired. Mr.. w. B. Smoot, as was his
clurse with the projectors of the knit
ting factory, has interested himself
considerably in inducing the new en-
tsrprise to locate here, and to that end
the negotiations have been very salts

ton to Alexandria manufactures affords
no little encouragement to those who
have for years been endeavoring to get
industries in this city. The Psff Shoe
Company is preparing the foundation
for their new factory south of the
Smoot lanyard on the northeast corner
OF Washington and Gibbon streets.
while all the other plants In the city

column on the last day of 1901, may

THE RECENT TROUBLE.

The Denver Post is authority
for the statement that ID. A. Chap
pell, president of the Victor Fuel
company, says the Chandler mine
will remain closed until next fall.
Mr.. Chappell says that they can
not secure enough men to run the
mines on paying basis. The
people of this county know that
there are plenty of men anxious to
work at fair prices, but they object
to the company's plan of doing
business paying in scrip and
forcing men to purchase goods at
company stores at outlandish high
prices. The company claims that
their men are not forced to trade
at their stores, That is true to a
certain extent, but the miners
claim that unless they do patronize
the company stores, they will be
discharged and others put in who
will trade there.
THE TRIBUNE does not intend
to uphold the miners in any un-
lawful acts, but this paper is in
position to known that there are
an abundance of laborers in Colo
RADIO who will go into the coal
mines and work provided they are
given that treatment which human
ity deserves.
Mr.. Chappell also says that the
sheriff refused help. The facts in
the case are that Sheriff Simon
WAS on the ground at IL O'Clock
Wednesday morning and remained
there until Thursday morning un-
til after the Japs had been taken
away The sheriff did all he
could under the circumstances to
prevent trouble and no doubt had
he not been there blood would
have been shed. The sheriff saw
that to antagonize the miners
would complicate the situation,
and he also knew that nothing
short of regiment of state troops
would prevent the miners from
carrying out their plans. And the
state was not under obligations to
the company to keep state
troops there in order, that they
might work the mine with more
profit to themselves.

The NATIONAL HOME IMPROVE

property on West Main street to
day for two of their contract
owners. The large house was
bought for ID. Munson to be paid
for in 80 monthly payments of
SllO0 each, without interest.
This property has never rented for
less than $1,000 per month. The
small house was bought for Char

monthly payments of $3.50 each
without interest. The house
bought by Mr.. Cooley is renting
for $500 per month at the present

bought by this association, but
they have other contracts which
have reached the loan period and
are selling contracts daily.

active at Washington at the outbreak
Of the war, though effusively friendly
to the United States. A telegram
from the national capital, which is
probably inspired by Secretary Hay,
tries to convey the impression that
the British ambassadors attitude at
the time is misunderstood. 1t says that
it was at the urgent solicitation of the
Austrian minister that Pauncefote
brought pressure ON the representa-
tves of the other European powers in
the interests of Spain. The dispatch
admits that he submitted fresh note
to the ambassadors declaring that
Europe did not regard the armed in
PREVENTION of the United States in Cuba
as justifiable," but that the proposition
did not originate with himself. 1t is
now in order to hear from the British
and Austrian ambassadors on the SUBJ
ject. The question is whether England
was our best friend or worst enemy at
the time. So far as the controversy
has gone John Bull seems to have
been Janus-faced and Judas-like from
the beginning to the end of the war.

ering to their surprise that England
is treacherous foe and lying hypo-
critic in her relations to this gigantic
