miles north of Pueblo and all the coal
from the c. F. G. |. mines that goes
to Denver must pass through Pueblo.
Rockafsllers Colorado interests are
centered in this city.
Again, the Real Estate Exchange
speaks of Denver as being the great
est smelling center in the world"
Pueblo is the acknowledged smelling
center and the editors of the Real
Estate Exchange know it.
If the organ of the real estate men
of Colorado would confine itself more
to facts and not boom one city at the
expense of another it would give more
satisfaction. The evident purpose of
the Exchange to give Pueblo black
eye is very poor warfare, and the
real estate dealers in this, the most
active city in the state, are properly
on to the situation
Puebloans certainly do not approve
of the attack made on Denver through
the columns Of the Boston Transcript
and they regard it IS small business
on the part of the Real Estate Ex-
change of that city to saddle the re-
sponsibility Of the authorship on to
Pueblo and use this as an excuse for
slurring this city.

the letter in the Transcript in Ian

of this city and attempts to belittle it

Pueblo is made odious by compari-
son with Denver, and false statements
are made by the Real Estate Ex-
change Of that city.
For instance here is an example
taken from the article in question:
Rockefeller who generally knows
what he is about is putting $15.00O,-
600 of actual cash into the develop
ment of the coal and iron resources
tributary to this city"

sections to greater extent than
heretofore and | look for Colorado to

find fault with that kind of statement,
and surely the governor is wedding
out the lawless and the criminal ele-
ment that has been making this state
the hotbed of anarchy and strife.

THIS is essentially a newspaper age
in the United States. Everybody
reads the newspapers whether he
reads books or not. We are living in
fast times and in order to keep in
touch with current events we must
read the papers, and this applies with
equal force to general as well as local
news Local news should always come
first-the home news that concerns
US most. and after that do all the
reading of q general nature that we
can. The person who reads the news

The Scientific American is calling
on Congress to pass law compelling
the railway companies to build strong
er day coaches and thus materially
lessen the causualties where an acci-
dent occurs. 1t would have the day
coach made as strong as the Pullman,
and then it would fire all careless and
incompetent employees from the SER
