President b. F. Schribner. of the
League. and Thomas f. Graham of
the Mission led the crusade. and en-
tered the lowest haunts of Denver,
where. by means of the cards and the
promise of free lunch, they persuaded
men and women who had not seen the

the services at the Mission and after

This meal consisted of beef. potatoes
and soup. given to all who would come

Edith Belongs in New Mexico.

Under act of the Legislature ap-
proved by then Governor Orman,
April IL. 1901, Charles A. Johnson on
April Goth was appointed comis-
sioner to re-survey the boundary line
between Colorado and New Mexico, or
that portion lying between astronomi-
cal monuments and s.
The re-survey was to be made in
conjunction with commissioners from
the United States government and
that of New Mexico. but these latter
neglecting to make appointments, Mr.
Johnson proceeded on behalf of Colo
rado. and has filed his report with the
secretary OF state.
According to Johnson's report there
is discrepancy of several hundred
feet between his survey and the orig
inal made by Elihu Darling in 1868,
Darling's line running south of that
run by Johnson on the line of the
thirty-seventh parallel A government
survey which has been started shows
the same discrepancies as far as it has
proceeded, and if the boundary line as
run should be accepted. the town Of
Edith and numerous sections of land
now in Colorado will in the future be
in the territory of New Mexico.
Monument 6, from which Johnson
started his survey, is about one mile
east of the town of Osier. a station on
the Denver & Rio Grande. He found
numerous mile posts missing. which
he replaced as far as possible in their
old positions Between mile posts 2O9
and PA he found a discrepancy of q
S65 feet to the north, and between 1876
and POI he found jog of 726 feet to
the north.

Half Holiday Law.

According to an opinion given by
Attorney General Miller. Denver is
the only city in the state where mer-
chants and other employers are re-
quired by law to give half holiday
on Saturdays. The attorney general
says:

In order that there may be no mis-
take made by the public, the officers of
the fleet wish to announce that the re-
ception and dance to be held on Satur-
day evening at the Naval Reservation
will be an invitation affair. The idea
is to give an entertainment for the
friends of the officers of the fleet. There
would not be sufficient space to handle
the crowds that would attend if the
affair were a general reception, so the
officers have decided to restrict the at
tendance. 1t will be by invitation only.
The hours have not as yet been 'po-
sitively determined. The reception will
occur at s o'clock Saturday night.
Dancing will be enjoyed on both the bat
tleships Kentucky and Wisconsin.

A rumor has been in circulation for
some time among the Hawaiian friends
of the Gilbertese who were returned to
their native land by the steamer Isle
worth, that ten of them died on the
trip to the Gilbert Islands. The rumor
has become very widespread, and is
believed by many. None of those
who heard it could tell how it ori-
ginated or by what means, word of it
could have reached here, even if it
were so. So far as can be learned no
letter has been received from any of
the Gilbertese themselves. Rev. Hiram
Bingham has not received any other
letter than the one announcing the safe
arrival in the Gilbert Group from the
master of the vessel and the letter of

coal every day as they have to supply
the various electric plants aboard. The
result is that every vessel will need
some additional coal just before sailing
from Honolulu for Cavite.
The two battleships now at the Naval
slips will be given coal first. They will
slide out as soon as coaled and go to an
anchorage outside of the harbor. The
other vessels will then come alongside
and coal and drop out as fast as they
have fuel aboard.
The collier Pompey sails at noon to-
morrow for Midway, Guam and Cavite,
while the collier Nanshan will sail to-
morrow afternoon for Guam and Ca
Vite.
