Now that the election is over,
the Colorado Promotion and Pub.
licity Committee will pursue an ac-
tive campaign for the advancement
of the interests of the Centennial
State. From the nature Of in.
quiries received at the Denver
headquarters of the Committee.
from all parts of the country, it is
evident that considerable capital
has been awaiting investment in
Colorado and H. soon as business
conditions become settled, thus Is
expected to flow INTO the state.

Dwelling House Burned.

Between and o'clock Sunday
morning the house of ill-fame on the
west bank of the north fork of Jackson
creek was totally destroyed by fire,
with all its contents. The three female
inmates are unable to give any definite
account of the origin of the fire. They
say the first thing they knew the build
ing was enveloped in flames. They
were unable to save any of the fur
niture. A trunk of clothes belonging
to one of the women was the only thing
saved. The fire was first noticed by
nightwatchman Parker, who saw a
great volume of smoke in that direc-
tion, and at once started to give the
alarm. He fired his pistol four times.
He tried to turn on the fire alarm at
the box near the Red Front store, but
it refused to work. j. Smallfield hap
pened to be on the street, and ran to
the fire house and rang the fire bell by
means of the rope. Even this failed to
sound general alarm. Not tenth
of the people knew anything of the fire
until they were told of it in the morn
ing. The dwelling house was large
building, and stood apart from any
other building. The flames had ac-
quired such headway before any one
was around, that nothing could be
done to save anything, and as there
was no danger of its spreading, there
was really nothing for the firemen to
do. The heat was so intense that ap-
prOach nearer than couple of hun
dred feet was impossible.
The house belonged to John Kuslej,
and was valued at about $1,000. The
owner is not in the county at present.
We understand it was insured for $500.
The furniture was worth in the neigh
borhood of $1,000 A fine piano, valued
at S400, was lost. 1t belonged to the
company, and had been sold on the in
stalment plan. It was covered by
insurance.

AMENDING GAME LAWS.

The game laws seem to be as per-
ennial a source of change as the road
laws or the election laws. The next
legislature will be asked to take an
other whack at these laws in the
effort to adjust them to public salts
faction. They need changing; there
is no divergence on that point. In
some respects they are little short of
idiotic as they now stand. And they
will surely continue so as long as the
law-making body takes its cue from
the high toned sporting clubs of the
larger cities, whose members seem
to imagine that their desires and,
pleasure ought to be of supreme
Importance on this subject. To
redeem the question from inconsist
ency two things are essential: First,
if game can be lawfully killed, the
killer should enjoy the privilege of
making some useful disposition of
the carcass. Second, the right to
kill should also carry the right
to sell or give away the game at the
option of the slayer. These are fun
damental propositions. To attempt
to separate them-as our present
statutes do-is illogical and unjust.
Game belongs to the people of the
state, and while it is impracticable
for every person to hunt on his own
account, there should at least be no
legal impediment placed in his way
in the enjoyment by purchase of the
trophies of hunting by his fortunate
ly situated fellow-men. Better pro-
hibit the slaughter of game abso-
lutely for term of years, than to
limit the enjoyment thereof to any
select class after the game is legiti-
mately killed.

SHENANDOAH VALLEY.
SHENANDOAH VALLEY. Dec. ;

SHENANDOAH VALLEY, Dec 20.
The weather has been making it un-
pleasant for some time lately. A hard
frost at night, fog in the morning and
evening, and few hours of sun make
up the day. Seeding is almost entirely
finished, and some of the grain is grow
ing.
Your correspondent last week found
some ripe Strawberries growing in the
open air, and of course took them in
out of the cold. They were very nearly
equal to tho ..i,t crow in the spring.
The valley has taken "the Plymouth
fever" and the result is shown in new
buildings and fences, and improvements
made on old ones. r. M. Brown has
built new house and barn this year.
j. A. Harrell has had an addition made
to his house. Joe Davis is building a
new barn. The cemetery, long given
to disgraceful neglect, has been neatly
fenced and thoroughly cleared of under
brush and all undesirable growths
This work has been done through the
proceeds OF an entertainment given by
the school last spring, and through
subscriptions from those interested in
having the improvements made.
Mrs. F. NJ Norris, of Oakland, has
been visiting her parents. Mr.. and Mrs
Robt. Brown ST., for week or two.
j. Bryant and family, of Mt. Aukum
have moved to the valley, and are
living in the house on the Blower ranch.
Robert Jameson was severely injured
about two weeks ago by his horse fall
ing with him while after cattle. He
was removed to Plymouth for treat
ment, and is now able to be about on
crutches.
Sam Kasper and Miss Susie Sharp
were married last Sunday at the BRIDES
home in Pigeon Creek. They will live
in Shenandoah, where Mr.. Kasper has
recently completed a house for the re-
ception of his BRIDE
The young people of the valley gave
surprise party at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. j. A. Harrell. in honor of
their daughter, Mrs. M. P. Harbon.
A jolly time was had in playing games
and discussing lunch provided by the
young ladies of the party. Mrs. Harbon
was formerly Mrs. Stella Cushman, and
her recent marriage was q great sur
prise to her friends. The best wishes
of all her friends 60 to the happy couple
in their life journey. SHAN.

School Notes.

Miss Maggie Devan, teacher of Oneida
school, has resigned her position there,
and it is understood will succeed her
sister, Miss L. Esther Devan, as one of
the teachers in Jackson school,
Miss Minnie Payne has surrendered
her position as teacher in Mt. Springs
district, and has been engaged to teach
the Oneida school.
The people of Plymouth are agitating
for union grammar schoo in that Sec
tion, under the law passed by the last
legislature providing for a consolida-
tion of a number of schools into one
strong central school, and for the
transportation of the pupils in the re-
mote parts of the district to and from
school. The plan has been found to
work well in some of the eastern states.
1t has been found more economical
than to maintain so many small un-
graded schools; at the same time the
educational advantages are decidedly
superior under the consolidation
method, all pupils having the benefit
Of the graded system.

Christmas Tree at Hospital.

At the county hospital tomorrow
evening, the monotonous life of the
inmates will be livened up by Christ
mas tree, specially for the patients.
This is the first effort of the kind in
many years. Parties wishing to donate
any little present to any one of the in
mates will send the same to the super
intendent, F. LeMoin, and the same
will be used to decorate the tree, and
find its way to the person designated.
The Joy of anticipation of this event is
perhaps worth more to the inmates
than the actual possession of the arti-

FRIDAY. DECEMBER %, 1904
CHRISTMAS.

The celebration of Christmas or
iginated in the desire to perpetuate
the memory of the birthday of Jesus
of Nazareth. 1t was first instituted
as a solemn religious festival, and is
still so observed by several of the
christian churches. The religious
austerity with which it was for cen
turies observed, has to a great ex-
tent given place in America to a
season of joy and gladness, and more
especially as period of gift making
for young and old. The message Of
'tglad tidings of great joy which
the angel visitors are said to have
proclaimed to the watching shep-
herds over the plains of Bethlehem,
is repeated in a more material form
to children and adults of nowadays,
in the presentation of some token Of
esteem and good will. Like the
exact date of the notable, though
lowly birth which it commentaries,
the establishment of this holiday, as
far as time is concerned, is in great
measure lost in the mist of cen
turies. 1t is no doubt true that
the festival as now observed bears
little resemblance to the ceremonies
attending its celebration in the early
period of the christian church. Still
it is nevertheless true that the idea
of gladness and good will has marked
its celebration, either in a spiritual
or material form-or both, throughout
the ages. The wise men that came
from the east to lay their costly gifts
before the babe of Bethlehem, have
their counterparts to-day in the
gifts to the child world at every re-
currence of Christmas tide. The
survival of this birthday celebration
through twenty centuries making
due allowance for changes or impair
ment in methods-is in itself a re-
markable fact 1t stands out unique
and alone on the pages of authentic
history as the only birthday festival
that has withstood the ravages of
time. 1t is moreover beyond dis
pute that the life which was nursed
in that manger cradle in the Judean
village has exerted a more potent
influence upon the worlds history
than any other event before or since.
Men may differ in estimating this re-
markable birth, and the still more
remarkable life that succeeded it,
but there can be no question of the
wonderful impress they have left
upon the world. Other great men
have merely fitted across the stage
of human action. They have left
their impress, it is true. Ceaser
and Alexander and Napoleon aspired
to universal dominion. Each in his
day perchance created a greater
furore in their resort to world con-
quest by the mortal sword than did
the Prince of Peace in his life time.
But these warriors are compara-
lively forgotten. Their birth and
life work are gradually being swept
into oblivion by the corroding hand
of time. But the advent and life of
the Nazarene seem to gather in
strength and influence with the
passing years.

Governor Vardaman of Mississir

Governor Vardaman of Mississippi,
in a public address stated that the
people of the south will settle the
race question in their own way, even
if they have to resort to drastic
measures to get rid of the negroes.
The governors fiery utterances must
not be taken as the prevailing senti-
ment of the southern people. The
race problem is a hard one to solve,
The presence of the colored people
in the southern states is drawback
to that section in many ways. Still
the south as things are now consti-
tuted, could not very well get along
without them. And after all is
said, the south is the natural home
of the negro in America. They
could not thrive in any other section
of the United States.
