Burns of the Colorado Springs team,
has thrown up the sponge, saying that
he has lost $1,000 this year. The league
will take the team to some other town
Concerning the reasons the following is
from the Omaha Bee: Burns has had
teams fighting for the pennant to the
last game for two seasons. This sea-
son the nine has been disorganized and
has been losing with astonishing regu-
larity. This has cut down the attend
ance until the average for the season
has not been above 200. The combina-
ton was more than Burns could stand
and he says he has washed his hands
of baseball. He simply gives UP the
ghost and will let the league do what
ever it pleases with the team. He ex-
poets no financial remuneration from
whoever takes it.
Eddie Lyon, owner of the Sedalia
Shoplifters says that the story that
Billy White has succeeded Harry Cheek
as captain of the team is nothing but
hot air.
Hite, Guthrie's new pitcher. is the
tallest man in the league. He stands
six feet and five inches in his stocking
feet.

star twirler, is doing great work in the

The Coming Country.

The opportunity for the man of lit
tie means is probably better today in
the prairie states of the southwest
than ever before in the history of the
nation. The chance of pre-enptfng
claims or of taking up lands under
government laws is gone and will not
return again. It is a different kind of
opening which lies before the settler
and its promise is of exceeding bright
ness. It's best opportunity is shown
in the great southwest where the
transformation is going on and where
the conditions of soil and climate Sc
in harmony with the warm skies and
temperate winds. To the man who is
not satisfied with his condition, the
southwest has an inviting future.
Along the lines of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railway there are vast
areas of unimproved lands awaiting
willing hands to make them yield the
bountiful crops of which the land is
capable There is a need Of stores.
factories and new business of every
description. It is the finest KIND OF
an opportunity in the finest section OF
the United States. The southwest is
unexcelled for the variety and fer
tility of its soils-for its climate It's
people are progressive and up-to-date,
it's religious and educational faclllrles
are as good as can be found elsewhere
The NJ. K & T. railway has no
lands for SALE but is interested IN
building up this productive country
1t is believed that the southwest has
brighter prospects and offers better
opportunities than any other section
Seeing Is believing. For that reason
tile southwest courts investigation of
the conditions as they exist. Anyone
DESTROYS of learning more of the
southwest will do well to address

THE looming NATION."

Now the American immigration
question in Canada has reachc,. a eli
max. 1t takes only three years for an
immigrant to earn a vote in Canada,
and $4,000 former American voters
will soon come into their Canadian
suffrage. There are in round rum
bers 10000 males more than 1S years
of age in western Canada who former
ly lived in the United States, 10000
of whom are old enough to vote. There
are now between 100000 and 100000
settlers, with a possible voting pop
ulation of 100000, high per centage
because many cattlemen without fam
lilies are emigrating from Montana
and Wyoming. BY the end of 1905
the American vote in the Canadian
West will be overwhelming.
In eastern Canada thousands of peo-
pie believe that this invasion means
the ultimate annexation of Western
Canada by the United tates. 1t is
called ''the coming nation" The
Worlds Work.

also, that some sections OF the stone
work had been destroyed when gas
pipes were run through the capitol,
and these blemishes had to be removed
and the whole work restored. But the
result is very satisfying and the inter-
ior of the rotunda this winter will
look like what it is, solid and ar
tistic piece of work and not painted
sham.
There Is, however, some excuse for
tn. apparent vandalism Of painting
the interior, II one will only consider
tn. conditions with which the house
keepers of the nation had to deal at
that time When the capitol was
lighted by gas, the amount of smoke
that was generated was simply appall-
ing. Everyone knows if you blow a
sas flame it will smoke Now the cap
itol is veritable "Cave of the Winds"
even ignoring the hot air that is con-
stanly emanating from the house and
senate. The hundreds of gas jets
smoked so that is ws impossible to
keep the interior of the building clean.
The rotunda, every passage and the
statues throughout the place were con-
stantly being covered with film of
lampblack. Finally, in despair the ro-
tunda was painted, which made it
easier to clean, but ruined the artistic
appearance of the interior
Now, of course, the Interior is il
Illuminated with electricity, and there
will be no more gas smoke to interfere
