A COLORADO OPPORTUNITY.

The cement business would appear
TO be a good one for more Colorado
people to embark in. Within a few
years what is claimed to be the larg.
est plant in the world has been built
up in this state, but the demand for the
product is stin far in excess of the sup
ply and the inability to get cement for
the enormous irrigation projects under
way has about decided the government
to engage in its manufacture.
There is much stone in the state
suitable TO cement making, and the
market for the product should make it
a good business for capital to consid-
er. We seem to be entering upon a ce-

WE'RE IN THB VAN.

The southeastern portion of Wyo

porous era in its entire history. The

of acres OF raw prairie land are being
turned over. No one "a now foretell
the result of all this activity on the

rich and productive farming region, a

JUSTICE AT LAST.

During the first half of the first half
of the last century, when Andrew Jack
son was a general in the United States
army, the Creeks and the Cherokees
were summarily removed from their an
Client habitations in Georgia and other
states east of the Mississippi to their
present location in Indian territory.
The right to remove them was hotly
contested, General Jackson taking the
ground that they We're without rights
in the matter. The issues were fought
out in the supreme court and a decision
finally reached when Jackson was pres
ident. The decision was by Chief JUS
uce John Marshall and held that the
government had acted without authori
ty of law in removing the Indians.
President Jackson, who had as general
taken a strong hand in removing the
Indians, remarked: John Marshall has
rendered his decision; now let's see
him enforce it." Greeley, in his history
of the American conflict, in speaking
of this particular case, says that the
will of Andrew Jackson and not the
constitution was the supreme law in
the land.
Monday the supreme our rendered
a decision Affecting this matter. The
court now holds that the government
