Queer Colorado Coal

One of Colorado's greatest discoveries In the form of innovation in coal is in. teresting experts and scientists in that state. where deposit four and a half feet in thickness has been prospected for two miles In extent and has yielded coal in the strikingly peculiar form of little cubes and hexagon-shaped columns It separates easily, the seams give of lit- tie dirt or dust. il burns with a blue flame, retains heat long time. and makes little ash. It breaks to a small nut size and Is considered suitable for hard coal burners and grates. Many re- gard the new coal as one of the mos, valuable finds in this almost unknown empire of riches.

 Her next duty Is 10 lower her waist line. She pulls down her corset as far as she can and yet feel comfortable. Then she presses it down upon the hips. All day long she keeps pressing down her corset a little. using both hards upon the hips. The gesture k common to all professional models. There are none who have not practiced 1t.
 Meanwhile. the model. if she be of the thoroughly modern type, is trying deep breathing. She gets up on the stroke of five and gets out where the air is clear and pure. Then she does her breathing exercises. They lower the waist as will nothing else in all the wide. wide world

by State Senator joseph H McDer-

ton that the new laws did not get into
operatinn until about the first Of
March this wear. AS far as the taxa
ton of leasebolds is concerned, this
was taken into the courts and nothing
could be done until q decision was
rendered, which was only few weeks
ago. This gave verv little time for
consideration of the value Of this kind
of property. No doubt much OF 1t
was not gotten on the books at all and
some Of il had very Indifferent value.
This could not be avoided in the few
weeks time that elapsed after the de-
cision of the court settling the law.
1.-THE great benefit of the new tax
laws will not be felt by the people OF
the state until 1907. 1t is true that
this year there are material redue'
tions and sufficient benefit will be de-
rived by the tax payers to justify the
law: but greater benefit will accrue
in 1906; and still greater benefit IN
1907 and thereafter The taxes which
come into the state treasury IN 1906
will be on the old valuation OF 1905,
and no benefit will be received in 1906
from the new standard of valuation
because the tax on the new valuations
will not come into state treasury until
1907. In other words the tax laid in
one year is not available until the
following year.

be IS feet long and 30 feet wide. 1t
will contain "a rooms and will ac-
commodate Al boys and two instruc-
