Plan is Approved By Gatfee and
5000 Officers and hsn Will

Washington, June 5.-The general
staff of the army has recommended
the establishment of a system of sub
marine defenses for the coast. The
plan has been approved by Lieutenant
General Chaffee and will be by him
submitted to congress.
This is one of the definite results
of the war in the far east, where tor
pedo boats, both fixed and mobile.
and submarine mines played such an
important part in the destruction of
ships.
The new corps will embrace
1000 officers and men, who will be
trained in the specialized work of
submarine defense. 1t is proposed
that members of this corps shall not
only have charge of torpedo outfits
and shore batteries that will protect
the mine fields, but they shall be
charged with the care and operation
OF public plants, searchllghts and
other accessories.

A New Record Made in COLORADO.

Colorado, long famous for its won-
derful resources in minerals, cattle,
coal and agricultural products, has
now made a record in q line of bust
ness hitherto controlled ia the older
states and financial centers OF the
country.
When last January, certain prom
inent business men and financiers Of
the state organized and launched an
''old line" legal reserve life insur-
ance company there were those wise
ones who said 1t would be impossible
to make a success In Colorado. Sit
months later, when 1t was announced
that the new company had written
more insurance than any other new
company In the United States had
ever written In the same length Of
time, and had established a new re-
cord for life insurance companies,
these wise ones began to sit up and
take notice.
Since that time, and In spite OF the
agitation In the big eastern COM
panies, the new company has gone
steadily forward and now has policy
holders In every corner and section
Of the state.
It Is the aim Of this company TO
keep in our own state some of the
nearly four million dollars that has
been going East annually for life In
surance premiums, and to invest the
money in high class city and farm
mortgages. Every dollar kept in the
state helps every citizen In the state.
This company-The Colorado Ma
tional Life Insurance company, Of
Denver-writes all the usual forms
of life insurance contracts, and Its
representative in this section, Ralph
E. Pierce, reports that he has written
policies for some Of our best known
and most, influential citizens. His
headquarters while here will be at
the Meeker hotel.
The Meeker herald., 1905-10-21

We wonder how the million Demo-
cratic policy holders In the New York

at once. A half million OF Democrat
silver dollars used to defeat Mr..
Bryan for president. Surely this is
the last straw for the Democratic
