THE DOCTRINE OF GOOD NATURE

1t is Just as cheap to be pleasant
AS it is. as 1t Is to be cross.
And it's better to dream of the future
Than weep DER the past and its loss.
It is Just as cheap to be joyful
As it is, as 1t is to be blue:
Then smile as you journey forward.
And the world will smile back at You.

The Hearst Jaggers property stands out
as one that it it's inception has guaran-
ore. In this class is the great Combina-
ton mine of Goldfeld, which is paying
dividends at the rate of 5000, 900 per year
Before that property was turned over by
Lucien L. Patrick to the company which
is now further developing it, shafts had
been sunk and shipping ore had been
blocked out. The same may be said OF
the great Florence mine of Goldfield, out
Of which thousands Of tons of ore are be-
ing taken before a company has been Or
ganized to take it over.

MARINE SUBSIDIES.
Bill Introduced to Foster American
Shipping.

Washington.-The supplemental re-
port and revised bill of the merchant
marine commission were presented in
the Senate by Chairman Gallagher and
in the house by Representative GrOs-
venor.
The revised bill, according to the es-
innate of the commission, will produce
an increased revenue from the new
tonnage taxes of sl,90O,000 in the first
year of the operation of the bill from
July 1, 1906, to June 30, 1907. 1t is es-
timated by the commission that the ac-
tual expenditures on account of the
bill in the first year of operation will
be s150.000 for naval volunteer retain
ers; $666.250 for mail subventions to
new lines. and s67. 900 for the increase
of mail subyentions to two existing
lines. a total of Sl.2S3.250.
In the second year, from July 1. 1907,
to June 80, 1908, the general subven-
tions to cargo vessels earned the year
before will become payable and the
commission estimates that these sub
ventions will call for an expenditure
of $1,250,000. The mail subventions
to new lines the second year will call
for 81 500 900. the naval volunteer re-
tainers for 100000 and an increase OF
mail subventions to two existing lines
for s457 900. a total expenditure of $3.-
100000 and the increased tonnage
taxes will yield an increased revenue
estimated at s1,SOO.0OO in the second
year.
In the third year the commission es-
Inmates that the net cost to the treas
ury will be $3,313.00O. and that this
sum may be increased by about $780,
coo year for several years thereafter.
1t is stated that Great Britain is now
spending between $6.000,000 and ST.
100000 annually on subventions to her
merchant marine: France upward o.
SS,000.0O0: Italy upward of $3.000.000,
and Japan probably close to $4,000.000.
and that the merchant marines OF
all these nations, especially those OF
Italy and Japan. are showing a very
rapid increase

School of Forestry.

Colorado Springs.-Through the gen
erosity of Gen. William j. Palmer and
DR.. William A. Bell. Colorado College
is to have school of forestry. AS an
endowment of the school and to pro-
vide practical laboratory for its
students and instructors, the property
known as Manitou park has been pre-
sented 10 the college by these two gem
tlemen.
Manitou park consists of $1,000 acres
of land. two-thirds of which is covered
by forest. Many years ago this whole
tract was deforested. AT present there
is fine new growth, which makes the
land particularly desirable for forestry
purposes. The hotel, the cottages and
the range and hay lands are included
in the gift. the value of which most
conservative estimates place at $780,
900. The streams and lakes in the
park have been recently well stocked
with fish by General Palmer, enhanc-
ing the sources of income.

Colorado Labor Report.

Washington. Secretary Victor II
Metcalf OF tho bureau of commerce
and labor in his annual report says:
"a report completed and printed dur
ing the year relates 10 labor disturb.
ances in the state of Colorado The
report comprehends an exhaustive his
tory of labor disturbances in that state
during the period of twenty-five wears
from 1880 TO 1891 inclusive. The &C
counts of the strikes previous to 1908,
is given i'll this report. are based upon
local histories. official reports of state
officers, and records contained in the
state library of Colorado. To ascertain
the facts regarding the strikes of 1903
and 1904 an agent of the bureau Wis
tied the various localities and obtained
statements from the mine managers
and labor union officials. He also in
terviewed officials of the state. of the
mine owners association at various
places, and of the citizens alliance,
and citizens generally The report is
believed to present complete informa-
tion in regard to the questions at is

THE deal is not quite closed yet and
am not at liberty to be quoted" said
one of the local men interested in the
transaction. But 1t will be closed and
the actual transfer will be made be-
fore the first of the year. There is nat
urally feeling against trust, but l
believe the transfer Will be benehclal
to Denver in the long run. 1t will stop
this slashing of prices that has been
going on Yes, the men who bought
into the packing plants have got more
than majority of the stock of the
stockyards country and its operations
will be controlled by them. The first
thing will be to increase the facilities
of the yards. We have been making a
good deal of improvements ourselves.
but the new men will need more room.
All the meat needed for the western
country will be killed in Denver after
this. Denver will be the center of the
sheep raising industry and you VIII
find that a great many more hogs VIII
be raised. The Chicago men who have
been out here several times looking
over the whole situation have decided

Denver.-A Silverton special to the
Republican says: Otto Mears, owner
and manager of the Silverton North
ern railroad. and of the Silverton &
Red Mountain railroad, has arrived in
camp for the purpose of taking steps

snow and reopen the line. for freight
traffic. For the last two weeks the
road has been out of commission. II

Justify the cost.
The mines in the Red Mountain dis
trict are short of fuel, owing to the
early closing of the railroad and the
Crawford syndicate alone wants 1000
tons of coal. Other mining properties
need coal and it is likely that the Red
Mountain railroad will be kept busy
as long as the line can be kept open
in hauling fuel and supplies to the
mines. A large force of men will be
employed and it is hoped to have
trains running again inside of ten
days
