GOOD WORDS FOR
 GOV. SWINtF0RD
Nome Nugget)


 Tho nestor of Alaska newspaper men mas retired from active work, and his place wlll be hard to fll. We refer to Gov. A. P. Swineford. the founder of the KetchikAn Mining Journal, which, under his guiding hand, was one Of the very ablest opponents of the truth about Alaska" that the diStrict has ever had. Gov. Swineiord's long residence in Alaska, first as governor and then as private citizen, his inti- mate knowledge of the resources ot the territory, his forceful mind and his vigs orous style, all combined to make him s power for good in the Alaskan jour nalistic field. And his ready pen will be missed. He waged an uncompro- missing warfare on the "bastard gov ernmentn with which Alaska is shackled, and never missed an oppor' tunity to dilate upon the monstrosities, and the right of Alasksns to direct their own affairs, without interference or dIctatiou iron Washington. Alaska has too few patriotic and able newspN- per men, therefore the retirement of Gov. Swineiord will cause greater re- sret, for in this stage of Alaska's devel- opmeut, with the many complex prob lens to be solved in the struggle for the real freedom of Alaska, strong hearts, ready minds and willing hands will be in demand.

The ehcf on one Of the Pennsylvania dining csrs was particularly talkatu the other day. The train was waiting for its Philadelphia passengers, and every table in the diner was occupied. The second call of Baltimore passen- gers were standing around the aisles waiting for vacant places. There was no little amount of disscnsion among those whose appetites had not yet been appeased. The diners seemed to be eat Ing lu a most lelsurely fashion, with no apparent concern for those who were less fortunate.
 Its always the way" said the dark romplexioncd cook. glancing through the car. "When the train Is running along those people win eat about twice as fast as they do ordinarily. But when she comes to stop they start to talk and hardly touch bite. It's the motion of the moving train that does 1t. Now, you just watch them and see if I'm not right"
 Just then the train pulled out, and the observer saw a sight which firmly convinced him that his informant hac spoken truthfully. Plates, knives ans forks began to rattle industriousIy. Ev. cry one began to eat as if his life de pended upon the next mouthful.

AIDING Ex-PRISoNERS.
Colorado Society Has Done Good Work
and Asks Contributions.

Denver-The regular quarterly
meeting of the Colorado Society for
the Friendless, was held at the Albany
hotel Tuesday night. w. +. Collett,
state superintendent of the society, re-
ported that he had travelled nearly
10000 miles during the first three
quarters of the year, made over fifty
public addresses, called on several
hundred business firms and collected
$l.S0O to aid his work.
About seventy eN-prisoners have
been helped to obtain work and aided
in keeping at it. During July and Au-
gust Rev. Bernard L. Rice of Grand
Junction visited numerous cities on
the western slope, organizing jail COM
mittees and securing financial assist
ance. The society has been particu-
larly successful in This owing to the
demand for labor.
The society has also arranged that
clothing may be sent to the temporary
home. 705 East Twenty-eighth avenue,
where 1t will be taken care of and
turned over to paroled prisoners and
those who have been released. The
Legislature of Colorado has never
made an arrangement for clothing.
transportation or expense money for
men coming out of the penitentiary.
The society greatly desires public aid
In furnishing such help, and Warden
Cleghorn has arranged to have any
clothing sent in by the society altered
so it will fit released prisoners. Shoes,
underwear. socks. etc. are also well
coined at the institution.
Superintendent Collett will attend
the congress of the National Prison AS
sociation at Lincoln. Nebraska, the lat
ter part of this month.

AIamosa Bank Failure.

Denver-A Republican special from
Alamosa says: Business is at n stand
still in Alamosa, the failure of the
Bank of Alamosa having caught nearly
every business man in the town, as
well as the majority of the poor peo-
pie who had saved a few hundred dol
lars as the result of years of hard work
and saving.
o. y. Brown, a man of seventy five
years of age, whose wife died recently,
and who was so grief-stricken that he
became demented, lost $1,000 by the
failure. He was seen walking along
the street to-day with revolver in his
hand, and when asked what he was 60
ing to do. he said that he might as
well be dead. He was persuaded not
to attempt suicide.
Mrs. r F. Johnson had $1,000 in the
bank and is nearly crazed over her
loss. There are hundred other cases,
and the amounts range from $500 to
$4,000.
1t is believed that Herman Schiller,
the New York brother of the Schiller
trio, has no intention of coming here to
straighten out the affairs of the bank.
1t is not certain that he was interested
in it. Abe Schiffer's whereabouts are
unknown and the opinion is expressed
on every side that he did not go to
New York.

TO RAISE SHEEP
SWIFT & CO., PACKERS, BUYING
COLORADO LANDS.
A BIG IRRIGATION SCHEME
Vast Land Project in Northern Colo
rado-To Include bitches, Tunnels
and Reservoirs Costing a Million
Dollars.

Denver.-The Republican says 1t was
ascertained yesterday that the inter
est of Edward f. Swift of the firm OF
Swift & Co. packers. in the Colorado
sheep situation, is much greater than
was supposed.
In addition to looking over the sheep
feeding industry ut Fort Collins and
making arrangements for the killing of
lambs at the Denver plants, recently
acquired by the trust, it now appears
that Mr.. Swift and his associates are
preparing to swing one of the largest
land and irrigation schemes ever han
died in Colorado.
The project will require the expendi-
ture of fully $1,000.OOO for tunnels,
bitches and reservoirs. and the com
pany behind 1t Is backed by not less
than $4,000. 900 capital. 1t has not been
incorporated but when this is done
work will proceed on a task which will
require about two or three years to
complete.
Edward F. Swift and John Donovan
of st. Joseph, and Peter Jansen of
Jansen. Nebraska, have successfully
handled several large deals in Canada.
They have been associated in many
undertakings of Importance and have
almost unlimited capital. Mr.. Swift
himself being personally many times
millionaire.
The lamb feeding industry in Colo
rado has caught their attention. has
their plans will work wonders for
northern Colorado. About nine months
ago these men began acquiring land in
Larimer and Weld counties, most of it
near Fort Collins and extending down
nearly as far as Greeley. This land is
as abundantly fertile as the other land
in that vicinity. but the problem of ir-
rigation was one to be met. The plan
to bring water to the land acquired is
one that could only be attempted By
great capital.
A water right has been obtained in
the Cache La Poudre. at a point where
water may be diverted easily to the
land in question. The water will be
taken from the Larimer river and
brought to the Cache la Poudre by an
expensive system of bitches and reser
voirs. AT one place 1t will be neces-
sary to tunnel through one of the
smaller mountain ranges between the
two streams. The chief engineer of
Swift & Co. was brought along for the
purpose of making observations and
estimating the best means of bringing
the water over
1t will be matter of several years
before their plans are fully developed,
but in the meantime the packing
plants of Denver will undoubtedly han
die the immense output of lambs pro
duced by the farmers.

stratton Inheritance Tax.

Colorado Springs. Colo.-In the
County Court to-day Attorney General
n. C. Miller filed petition in behalf of
the state. asking for an inheritance tax
of $500 Sab from the Stratton estate.
The petition gives s6,307, 1866 as a
fair estimate of the value of the estate
at the time of the death of the late
w. S. Stratton on September IA, 1902
the $4,000 legal exemption leaving a
value of s6,297, 1896 upon which to
base the levy.
The tax is charged against the var
ious legacies in the will. of which the
Myron Stratton Home bears the heav.
lest burden. The rates vary from two
to six per cent. of the legacy in each
case.

HER LIFE ENDED
MRS. ARvILLA D. MEEKER DIES AT
AGE OF NINETY.
HUSBAND FOUNDED GREELEY

Her Long and Interesting Career
Terrible Experience at the Tins
of the Meeker Massacre by White
River Utes.
Denver.-A Republican special from
White Plains, New York, states that
Mrs. Arvilla ID. Meeker. widow of the
late N. C. Meeker, died there yester'
day from senility, aged ninety years.
Mrs. Arvilla d. Meeker. the widow of
Nathan Cooke Meeker. founder OF
Greeley colony, was woman of
strong personality and had wonder
full career. In early life she taught
school in New England and then be-
came acquainted with the young poet
and dreamer, who later founded a col
ony in the then far West and who sac.
rificed his life to his convictions re-
garding the civilization Of the Indian.
Mrs. Meeker and daughter were with
him when he was butchered by the
Utes at the White River agency Sep.
tember %. 1879, known to history as
the "Meeker massacre Mrs. Meeker
was slightly wounded in the ARRAY and
held prisoner by the Indians for
three weeks.
About the time Mr.. and Mrs. Meeker
were married they became interested
in the organization of communities
which we're purposed to carry out some
of the theories of the French Socialist.
Fourier, and which We're supported by
such men as Emerson. Hawthorne and
Greeley. The Brook Farm Phalanx"
became the best known of these organi-
cations.
The Meekers Joined one at Warren,
Ohio, which was dissolved in three
years.
They afterward lived in Cleveland,
Ohio. and in southern Illinois.
When the war broke out the Meeker
family were subjected to great indig-
mites from their neighbors who were
nearly all secessionists.
During these early years Mr.. Meeker
wrote, which he did with so much sue
cess, that in 1869 he was made agricul-
tural editor of the New York Tribune,
through whose columns he unfolded his
plan for establishing Union colony on
the banks of the Poudre river.
In 1870 the colony was established
and the town of Greeley located. to
which Mrs. Meeker and her family
came during the first year as soon as
their nome cOuld De Duilt, Ill WHICH
they have since lived.
In 1878 Mr.. Meeker. who had always
had great faith in the Indians. believ-
ing that they could be taught to pursue
an industrial life, left Greeley with his
family for the White River Indian
agency, 800 miles away. to civilize the
Indians tud act as government agent
to the Ute Indians there.
The story nf the SubSp0upnt maSSa-
ere of Mr. Meeker and the employees of
the agency by the Indians under the
control of Chief Douglas and Captain
Jack and the captivity of Mrs. Meeker
and her daughter. Josie, are a part of
the history of the country.
Mrs. Meeker leaves son. Ralph
Meeker. who has been for long time
ON the editorial staff of the New York
Tribune. and daughter. Miss Roaene

who inherits the old homestead.
