Secretary Shaw said in part:
1T is an error to rate the impor-

their relative productiveness. Our

State Treasurer's Report.

State Treasurer Newton on Sept
4th transmitted to Governor Peabody
his financial report for the Semian-
nual biennial period, ending August 81,
1t shows that up to September 1st the
different state departments had prac-
tically used all OF the funds appro-
priated for their use during the year, or
all the funds there was any likelihood
of their getting, owing to this deficit in
the revenues.
The board OF health. the humane
society and practically all of the minor
departments have absolutely no funds
at their disposal for the expenses of
the next four months. The executive
departments are in nearly AZ bad a
position y..ss s,,..
The decrease in the total valuation
sl70OO,0O0, if it is that much. Alb
stracts of assessments have been filed
in the auditors office from forty-seven
of the fifty-nine counties, and, al
though practically all Of them show a
slight decrease. the total is not nearly
half of what it was estimated by Audi
tor HO!mDerg week ago.
At that time less than forty counties
had been heard from, and, 5asing his
calculations on what had already come
in, Mr.. Holmberg said that the total
valuation of the property would prob
ably be about $500, 900, 900, instead of
the $35S,O0o,00O on which they esti-
mated.
The forty counties that have
sent in their abstracts show total of
s232 ,5O3,Sll. If the remaining twelve
counties show even the same valuation
as last year, which was a little more
than $l04 $50, 1863, the total valuation
of the state will run up 10 $337 ,099 ,97i
leaving a shortage of $16,902 527.

May Change Pioneer Limit.

At the next annual meeting Of the
Colorado Pioneer Society an amend
ment to the constitution will be
brought up which provides that the
limit of arrival to the State shall be
changed from Dec. 81, 1861, to Dec. 81,
1868 The reason for this amendment
is that the ranks of the society are
becoming depleted. 1t is thought that
the extension of the limit will increase
the membership from 400 to 2.400.

Zenith Plaster.

For the past year or so I have been
advertising the celebrated Zenith plas-
ter, for which Z am sole and only
authorized agent in Princeton. I took
this agency for Zenith and have
brought this plaster to the front in
this section, because I realized I had a
good article and have not been afraid
to advertise it as such. Zenith is the
safest and most durable plaster sold to-
day and builders all realize this fact.
This is why my competitors, advertise
Zenith, and sell a cheap substitute, for
no other dealers in Princeton have the
genuine Zenith plaster to sell, because
they can't get it to sell. Zenith plaster
has the words "Zenith" printed in
large letters on every sack, and re-
member that 1 am the only authorized
agent for Zenith in Princeton. -.
