ing Library Commission. at its annual
meeting in the state house last week.
unanimously adopted resolution to re
quest the General Assembly at its next
session to increase the commission's s
annual appropriation from 1900 to

the growth will be stunted.
The commission failed to receive It's
regular appropriation from the state
this year and the work was only kept
up through the generosity OF the Colo
rado Federation OF Womans CLUBS.
The Womens Federation Instituted the
travelling library work in Colorado ana

The Russians present a picturesque
appearance. The sides Of. the hills and

with mud huts. and little chimneys OF

These habitations Of the common SOL

The huts for the enlisted men are
well built. roomy. with small glass
windows. and each is provided with a
