GreeIeY's XIalt to Colorado.

tells Of Horace Greeley's visit to Col

one Of the express stages and had
met with a singular and perilous &C.

OF buffaloes the animals, probably
maddened at the sight Of the red COL

upset it. Greeley had received a Sc

tortures. | was fortunate enough to
be with him and thus became an eye
and ear witness of what happened.
About 10 o'clock he got up and in
sisted on limping to the barroom. His
appearance, though his presence in
the building was generally known,
created surprise and instant silence.
He begged for a chair, and, Friends

addressed one of the most pathetic
appeals I ever heard to those around
him to abandon their vicious ways
and become sober and industrious.
He spoke for nearly an hour and was
listened to with rapt interest and the
most perfect respect. He succeeded,
too, in his object. The gambling
stopped and the bar was closed every

RUSSIA RULES sv THE SNOW.
BY the sledse Alone She owes Ad
vance to the East,

NduSS W ING EAST
The world has moved so quickly Of
late that 1t is difncult to realize that
century ago Russia occupied the
first place among European countries
for the cheapnsss and rapidity with
which the land transport Of merchan.
disc could be effected.
The facilities for travelling and for
the conveyance of goods provided by
the sledge-then the easiest of all
modes Of transport by land-gave
Russia for half the year as great a
physical advantage over most other
Continental countries in this direc-
ton as Great Britain possessed by her
countless roads over the ocean wave.
Visitors to Moscow a century ago re-
corded their amazement at finding
when dining with wealthy mobiles in
mid-winter fresh fruit and vegetables
that had been brought by rapid sledse
transport from the south, Injuries
that no money could at any time have
purchased in Paris, Berlin or even
London.
To the sledge road alone Russia
owed the possibility of her rapid ad-
vance to the East, In which her en-
pire had increased at the average rate
OF a. little over eighty kilometres a
day since the reign Of Peter the Great
The Russians gliding eastward over
the snow wen their grand empire of
Northern and Eastern Asia just as the
Anglo-Saxons, ploughing their way
westward through the ocean, won
theirs on the other side of the At.
lantic; and both now are face to face
upon the eastern and western shores

FINAL INVESTIGATION.
Will be Made OF the Gunnis0n

The Interior department will not pass
on the matter OF the Gunnison tunnel.
1t is decided to send cjrps OF expert
engineers here to look over the PROPOSE
tion thoroughly between now and spring
and 10 pass on it right here on the
grounds. This is good news to the water
users. They are certain the land is
here and the waller in the Gunnison and
they fear no investigation Of every phase
OF the proposition. The reason for this
move is that the department thought
best not to call in all the engineers and
records as the committee OF engineers
could do better work on the grounds and
more satisfactory.
The proposition is sure to meet with
the approval OF those making the iuves-
tigation as they can then understand
the possibilities Of this section. The
advice OF the Secretary OF the Interior
to Judge Bell OF Montrose. that the as
sociation go on securing signatures until
a minimum OF $500 acres is obtained.
thus assuring success and that options
be secured on the Montrose and Delta
canal. the Loutenhizer and the Chipeta
as well as other large carriers. All this
is good news. Keep up the work OF
securing signatures snd then their
decision will be rendered as to whether
the tunnel will be constructed or not.
