a memorable speech in which he adj

that the dukes most precious care,

duke mas fulfilled all hopes in this di-

youthful sincerity with which he set
about the task has won the hearts of
his future subjects and II is the gen

successful ruler, even though he be
not thoroughly "Germanized."
He is a tall, spare. blue-eyed Young
man, of amiable disposition and i'm

THE SAN JUAN GAVE
THE STATE ITS START


the development of the great state OF
Colorado was due more to the San
Juan country than to all otner sec
tons OF the state combined. To use
Mr.. Raymond's own words. Colorado
sprang from he San Juan"
This statement II must be admit
ted, is most sweeping one. but let
MS see II it Is not justified
Just prior TO the time the first ven
turesome spirits came to the south
west corner OF the state. now known
as the San Juan, there was not much
to the rest of the state. The gold
dggings at Black Hawk, Russell
Gulch. Fairplay and the surrounding
territory had passed through the
height of excitement and We're on the
decline. Placer diggings that had
been rich and yielded immense for
tunes were worked out and the towns
were dead. There had been great
| influx of gold seekers, but when the
diggings had been worked out the
| greater portion OF them started back.
| Lead mining at That time was imprac
| lchDlS unless tne leHuS were lhDui-
ously rich Denver was town but
| little larger tnan Durango and had
not near so bright prospects as orr
town now has. The fortunate ones
| had left the country and the unfor-
tunate ones stayed and SO II was that
Denver was town filled with people
who were waiting for something to
turn up or for some new discovery
10 go to. From Denver eastward to
| the state line, yes, ana naf way
across Kansas, 1t was all barren
waste, desolato and believed then to
he forever worthless. There was
nothing north of Denver worth men
tioning, and nothing SOUTH except
village AT Pueblo. FROM Pueblo
westward there was no settlement I'M
til Canon city was reached, and that
was poor excuse OF place.
In 1878. when the hrst movement
10 the san Juan began, people were
no longer looking hopefully 10 Gilpin

IL editors would be so bold,
Or some might say! SO mean,
AS to write OF half that we are told
OF things both heard and seen,
The Judgment day when come II
might,
Would occasion small surprise
For half the world would take delight
In opening the others eyes.
There's scarce a sun goes Ger our
head
Or a moon tells off a night,
But we must leave some things un-
said
or which we all could write.
OF evil deeds and good ones, too,
OF scandal reeking vile,
OF h~eartaches of a lover true,
And things to make you smile.
A mar forgot himself last night
And swallowed too much booze;
Then pretty soon he had a fight,
OF course to-day that's news.
But then he had a wife and child
Who grieve about his fall,
So print the story very mild,
Or better, not at all.
A wife goes walking down the street
After the sun has set,
Alas! unfaithful spouse, to meet
+. Whom she should not have met.
A blue clothes man breaks up the
walk,
The husband hears the tale;
The story's all the neighbors' talk;
They barely miss the Jail.
The paper man is on the ground
His pencil in his hand,
To ED the story on the round
To many a distant land.
But no! her friends come and i'm
plore;
The husband takes her back.
She promises to sin no more,
The story's gone, alack!
So day by day run on the same,
As editors only know,
Their columns seeming very tame
But then 1t must be SC,
For paper men desire to live
At peace with all mankind;
Thus having little to forgive
And p%lenteous peace of mind.
