Colorado Springs and has done a great deal
for that city. He has given it a million dol
lars or more In the way of parks; has built
a driveway up Bear Canyon at large cost.
and has bought up all the ground around
the railway tracks and is parking that. He
has given large sums to charitable fnstftu-
tons and has been very generous with the
university, but his most important gift to
tho public has been the driveway through
the Garden of the Gods to Manitou Springs.
Some people complain that II 1t were not
for General Palmer, Colorado Springs would
be- bigger town than 1t is, and this crit
icism is the highest compliment that could
be paid him. He has protected Colorado
Springs and made it one of the most attrae-
tive cities of homes on the continent. He Is
strict temperance man. He forbids tho
sale of liquor by any of his tenants and in
the deed to each piece of property he sells
and in the lease of every inch of ground
and every building he rents there is a clause
providing that If liquor is ever sold on the
premises the deed or lease Is void and for
feited, and that the property shall imme-
diately revert to its original owner To
General Palmer's strict enforcement Of this
rule the people Of Colorado Springs owe the
orderly and beautiful city which they pos
sess.
Simon Guggenheim-
Simon Guggenheim is the next man on
the list, and he is credited with $15, 600 600.
Behind him is a romance even more inter-
esting than that of Moffatt. His father.
Meyer Guggenheim. was born in Langnau
Switzerland, February 1, 1928. and there
learned the trade OF tailor and embroid-
erer. When he was twenty years old he
came to this country and settled in Phila-
delphia, where he opened little shop for
the sale of embroiderfes and laces He mar
ried young woman with whom he became
acquainted on the steamer coming over.

Career of David n. MofYa4

David II. Moffatt stands at the head Of
the list. credited with $25, 900 600, and is
declared to be not only the richest, but the
most enterprising and public-spirited man
In Colorado. He has done a great deal to-
ward the development OF the state, and Is
one of the few bonanza kings who has
been wise and prudent enough to hang on
10 his money. He built the first railroad
10 Cripple Creek and the first to Creed the
other sensational mining camp. and Is now
building a line from Denver to Salt Lake
which is intended to cut of about 200 miles
or distance. He has already extended It
more than half way with his own money
paying cash for everything, and Is said to
have invested more than seven million dol
lars This Is not the end of mis- resources
but he does not think 1t wise to place ali
OF his eggs in one basket, and therefore
during a recent visit to New York sold
bonds enough to pay for the completion of
the line.
Moffdtt has had a remarkable history. He
was born on the Hudson river, near New
burg, and must have been n precocious
| child. for when he was only nine years old
| he ran away from home to New York city
| with the intention of becoming a banker
His father followed him up and being I'M
| able to persuade him to come back to his
| nome and school. secured a place for him in
| the Exchange Bank as a messenger on a
| salary OF 50 per week. He remained with
| that institution until he became assistant
| teller, when he resigned and came west To
| take a position as teller In the bank of B.
| T. Allen at Des Moines. Allen was a
| financial power in those days and was In
| terested In banking institutions all over the
| west. He sent young Moffatt to Omaha
/ and made him cashier of a bank In that
! city before he was Of age. In 1860 Moffat.
| decided to go west on his own hook, and
| entered into an agreement with a man
| named Woolworth. who had a book and
stationery store at ST. Joe. to open a place
| In Denver. which was then the end of the
| stage line. Moffatt loaded a wagon with
| books and stationery supplies and drove
| his own team across the plains to the youne
| city. where he built a shack-half tent and
| half shanty--and offered his stock for sale
| He was a great hustler: he got the post
Office located In his store. and secured ar
/ appointment as assistant postmaster. He
| also succeeded In getting the agency OF
| the stage companies that ran to Omaha and
Kansas City. the Wells-Fargo Express Com
/ pany and the telegraph company. Thu

Record Herald
DENVER, July IL, 1905.
There is no doubt that Colorado Is a very
wealthy state. but l suspect that some of
the figures that have been given me are
exaggerated. The newspapers and other
publications estimate the tangible wealth
of the people at nearly two billions of dol
lars. and semi-official pamphlet circulated
by the board of trade and other associat tons
gives the per capita wealth of Colorado at
50, $50. which seems to be excessive for 1t
is greater than that of any other of the
United States or of any foreign country.
The bank deposits of Denver are $4,000, 0O0
and the clearings last year were s232, co.,,
600. The First National Bank of this city
has resources exceeding s24 800 600 and is
the largest financial institution west of St
Louis. There is none In San Francisco to
surpass 1t. 1t ranks number twenty-four
among the banking institutions of the
United States
The assessed valuation of the city of Den
Yer exceeds 500 900 600; the jobbing trade
last year amounted to about $4,000, 600,
and the products of the several manufac-
turtles exceeded S15o00,000.
The population of the state, according to
the last census. was $50, 100. 1t Is now esti-
mated as high as 100000. and that seems to
be reasonable figure. At least 10000
the five years which have elapsed since the
enumeration. According to the census of
1900 Denver had 1888 population; In 1890
It had 105. 600, and it Is claimed that both
enumerations were imperfect. Since 1900
several suburbs with a population of about
10000 have been taken into the city. and
the natural increase Is estimated at 5000
a year. which should bring the total up to
10000 and possible 175.OO0 this year. The
new directory. just published, shows a fall

Over 100 Millionaires.

The Evening Times recently printed a list
of the rich men In Colorado-those whose
wealth is estimated at 100000 and upward
The names filled an entire page and in
Guided 1O8 mlllionaires whose aggregate
earthly possessions were given as $3.50, 000.-
600 The Times asserts that no other state
can make such showing which Is prob
ably true, whether the list Is exaggerated
or not
Colorado Is a state OF vast individual
fortunes. outranking any other state in the
Union on a per capita basis" says the
Times (Which is edited by United States
Senator Patterson. 1T has the further
distinction that most of its vast fortunes
were made within Its boundaries. not alone
in mining. but In the cattle industry, In
realty SpeculationS. in fruit, Sugar-beet cui-
ture, potato farming and in manufacturing
and mercantile pursuits.
First of ALL many people OF wealth have
moved into the state in the past few years
and invested large sums in mining corpora
lions. the stocks of banks and other enter
prises and are not individually known in
the mercantile reports. Still another class
represent the retired country capitalists,
who have moved from the sections in which
their wealth was acquired to Denver or
Colorado Springs. Their individual hold
ings unless they are In realty are neces-
sarily hidden from the regular information
sources.
THE list contains the names of four gen.
tlemen who are credited with ten million
and upward each--David H Moffatt, F. Z.
f. Lovejoy. Simon Guggenheim and Thomas
F. Walsh. There are eleven men credited
with between five and ten millions twenty
seven between two and five millions and
seventeen between one and two millions.
The name OF the late Senator Edward o.
Wolcott appears among those who are
credited with one million. His estate was
appraised at sl,1O0,OOO. and was inherited
by his brother, Henry Wolcott. his law
partner. and his sister, Miss Wolcott. Sen
ator Wolcott left nothing to charity or to
any of his friends. Neither his sister nor
about fifteen miles from Denver. which
cost upward of 100000. is the principal
item In the estate. 1t is now offered for
sale and will probably be purchased for
a country club or for home by some OF
the other millionaires In tho list Henry
Wolcott Is also down for a million, al

scribe hot water, but that isn't neces-
sary. You may hare washed your face

You may have taken a cold plunge into

which should prompt the glass of wa

of the shortest and easiest of toilet

DIVIDING THE TIPS.

The Method That Is Followed I'm
Some London Restaurants.
Tipping hats been reduced to a very
fine system in some English hotels and
restaurants. II was sitting at meat
with the manager of one of the we'll
known London restaurants" says a
writer. "'I am short sighted and I'M
observant,' i said, and as l never
know one waiter from another I'm al
ways uneasy lest I've tipped the wrong
one' The manager laughed. Fritz,
bring the book he said. The book
was opened upon the table and dis
closed columns and rows of figures OPP
posite the names of walters. Between
them the manager and Fritz explained
the system.
Every penny given in tips was cast
into q common fund in charge of
waiter elected by his fellows. At the
end of the week the sum was distrib-
uted. Three classes were arranged by
the manager, according to efficiency,
and the shares were in corresponding
proportions, so that the Junior who
hovers with the sauce Is by no means
equally rewarded with the expert who
can advise in the matter of wine.
"Waiters keep a jealous eye on their
fellows, and the man suspected Of
pocketing a tip finds his position I'm.
tenable. The system is good for the
public, since it diminishes the unpleas-
ing personality of a charitable action.
1t is good, too, for the walters, since
that record of the weekly gratuities
showed that the best walters made
about $1,000 year in tips
