The Columbia Savings and Loan As
sociation of Denver is not ashamed Of
its statement. You will find it publised
in full in another part of this issue and
it makes an exceedingly good showing.
This is particularly interesting just
now in light Of the Fidelity sensation.
The Columbia has several members
here and they have reason to have
confidence in the association. Read the

A New Corporation Being Orga-

at Garden

The New England Consolidated Oil

backed by ample capital, has been or
gnnized by T B. Street, of New Haven,
Connecticut, trustee for the western
stockholders, to continue the develop
ment work which the old company was
forced TO abandon on account of finan-
cial difficulties.
The New England Consolidated Oil
Company met with many embarrass-
ments in the prosecution of its work at
Garden Park, among which was the
burning of its plant last winter, and it
was forced into liquidation a few
months ago and its holdings sold under
foreclosure proceedings to satisfy the
demands OF creditors 1t had bored to
a depth of 1850 feet and had almost
reached the Trenton limestone strata,
under which the oil is found, when IL
was confronted with financial difficult
ties from which it was unable to extri-
cate itself.
The new company launched by Mr..
Street will begin where the old one left
of and will make u thorough test with
the view of finding oil IL 1t exists on
the property. Those who have investi-
gated the matter are confident from
the geology of the surroundings that
the efforts of the company will be
crowned with success, as oil has found
since the time when the memory OF
man runneth not to the contrary"
The stockholders represented by the
trustee own 1890 acres Of land in Gar

A Statement From Baldwin Bros.

Having heard the report that we
delayed blowing our mill whistle
mot a public fire whistle, as some
seem to think) twenty minutes, on
purpose to let Andy Barnhouse's
dwelling burn down, we wish to
make this statement: that the
whistle was blown inside of one
minute from the time that we were
told by Mr.. Hummel, who says he
dropped the book he was working
on and locked the safe and ran
down to the factory to tell us. If
any one says that Baldwin Bros.
have anything against Andy Barn
house, and would deliberately de-
lay blowing their whistle one
minute to help burn his or any
other persons house, they simply
tell an untruth. BALDWIN BROS.

he goes to church occasionally. Not
many Sundays ago he was in his pew,

full when his daughter picked q
grasshopper off her dress and nudged
the drowsy father, handing him the
Srasshopper SO that he might throw it
out=the window. He took it with eyes
half open, and. thinking it was Glove,
pushed it in his mouth There was a
sputtering which disturbed the whole

Heved SO strongly that a joke had

Unlike the famous blades of Toledo
and Damascus. Japanese swords are
not flexible or elastic. They are IN
eQualed for strength and hardness ana
hold a very keen edge. japanese steel
is said to excel even Swedish steel in
purity The manufacture of the
swords is 4 very elaborate process.
Some ceremonials and superstitious
practices are inter1niXed with the scien-
tific operations. The sword hardener
is regarded as the most important per
sonage connected with the manufac-
ture. It is his name that is inscribed
on the hilt and his reputation that en-
hances the value of sword. Those
who shape the blade. sharpen and
adorn it are of minor importance.
