To Whiten Steps.

1t is very often difficulty to re-
store steps, which have become green,
to their original whiteness, but few
applications of the following should
prove perfectly efficacious: Wash
the steps well with cold water, then,
with a thick woolen cloth, rub in
powdered free sand" and leave
them till quite dry, when the powder
must be brushed off with whalebone
broom. If very bad, it is q good
thing to shake little common salt in
with the free sand"

Paper Napkins.

A very exquisite housekeeper will
put at each plate a damask napkin
and paper napkin. At this season
of the year so many fruits make
stains upon linen this seems an ad-
mirable idea. Children especially
can be taught to use the paper nap
kins for wiping the tiny fingers, cov-
cred with peach juice or the like.

 But with Hubbelrs death, or there abouts. commenced the decline of American commercial prestige in the east. until in 1898, when the United States troops invaded the islands, there were very few. if any, American firms doing business, the trade being then controlled by the British, the Germans and the Chinese.

THE FIRST CONSUL
American Representative Honored
 in Philippines.

In . quaint little park in the hnan. cial center of Manila stands modest appearing monument, the first erect ed in the Philippine islands in mem ory of an American citizen either in public or private life.
 The monument is tribute to Amer. ica's first consul to the islands and was erected by the Spanish govern ment, aided by the American colony, nearly "A years ago. The spot where the stone stands is daily passed by hundreds of Americans hurrying to and fro on business missions at the banks and counting houses of the cos mopolitan world forming Manila's Wall street-Plaza Cervantes. It may be said that very few indeed even so much as notice the little monumental feature of the parks lawn and great deal less know the story of it's pres ence. It may be that there is too much trouble attached to the task of crossing the street to ascertain what it represents, as troubling one's self out of curiosity in the tropics is not a trait of which the white man is guilty. The inscription on the stone is not visible from the sidewalk on either side of the park. hence the gen. eral ignorance on the part of the pub lie as to what the monument repre- sents. A great many, one might say the majority of foreigners in the city, look at it with the idea that 1t is but another of the many Spanish mon- uments which. grace the countless plazas in the city, but those who have approached the spot have been re- warded with the knowledge that the monument was erected in memory of George w. Hubbell, Esq, the first American consul of the Philippine islands, a man and an official who so endeared himself to the Spaniard and to the American resident as to war rant this pretty and substantial com pliment after his death.
 MT. Hubbell came to the Philippines about the year 1880, during President Jackson's administration, and was re- ceived with great honor as the official representative of the great American republic.
 At this time the Philippines had. perhaps, greater commercial relations with the United States than with any other nation in the world, despite the colossal expanse of water intervening between the two countries.
 There were several large American firms operating in the islands, with headquarters in Manila and having branch offices, conducted by Ameri- can or English agents, in all the larger provincial ports. These firms maintained fleet of sailing vessels which piled with their cargoes between Manila and the United States, via Cape Horn and the Atlantic. So from the constantly growing interests of these concerns, it may be judged, re- suited in Mir. Hubbell securing the consular appointment, although there is very little of record about the mat ter in the documents on file in the in- sulara archives at the; present dayal
 It is said by an old American sea captain, now living ashore in Manila, that one of the sailing vessels, cost. ing something like $250000, actually

Well All Be There

1t is customary in resort towns for
the council to take active steps at the
season $ opening in order to make it
known to the public that business has
begun in earnest and l know of no
more appropriate method for us to let
the world know that the season in
Glenwood is open than to arrange for
large gathering at the opening din
ner to be given by the management
of The Hotel Colorado on Thursday,
March 80.
therefore suggest that we show
our appreciation of this the earliest
opening in the history of The Colo
rado, by spontaneous and unanimous
patronage of the magnificent opening
dinner being arranged for by Manager
Lucas.

low one long to be remembered

Observance of St. PdtriCk'S Ddy

The Catholics gave their animal st.
Patrick's supper and ball Saturday
evening and the report that everything
in town was there, while little bit
exaggerated, is not exactly prevari-
cation. At least, everybody's friends
were there.
A splendid supper was served at
O. clock. and later in the evening dur.
ing the dance second supper was
served, the total number partaking
being estimated at $50 persons. j. L.
Preville, as master of ceremonies,
furnished delightful evening for the
dancing public and the opera house
was crowded with pleasure seekers
until late hour.
A special feature of amusement was
the dances executed by Miss Rose Nc
Donald of Glen wood, and Mrs Welch
of Leadville, and the two performers
were surely heartily encored by the
audience. The former was SO gaily
attired that her best friends hardly
knew hei.
The proceeds from the supper and
the dance amounted to about $3.50.

lived in this community for number
of years and the large number OF
friends in attendance at the funeral
service and the beautiful floral offer

besides a brother in Leadville and to
these the sympathy CT the entire com

nOFFAT ROAD
TO GLfNWOOD
Articles Of Incorporation FILED In
Clerks Office Saturday Pro-
vIding for Branch Road
JOINS RIO GRANDE AT DOTSERO

Rumors of the Moffat Road coming
to Glenwood have been atioat frequent
! ly for several years, or ever since the
road was started in fact, but only on
Saturday last was there anything to
substan,iate these reports 1t was then
that the incorporation papers we're
filed in the county clerk office. which
provide for branch road seventy
miles in length to be built from the
main line to Glenwood Springs.
This, of course, will be a great
benefit to Glenwood Springs, and as
beggars can't be choosers, we haven't
any kick coming about not being on
the main line, but should be thankful
for small favors.
The lat or near Glenwood Springs
referred to as the terminus of this
seventy mile branch is somewhat in
definite but since the contour of the
country makes Dotsero the most feast
BILE point for tapping the Denver g.
Rio Grande it is almost certain that
the prophecies of our citizens concern
ing jnncture of the two roads near
Glenwood will be realized in the not
very distant future.
The resolution which was pass ed by
the board of directors at special
meeting on May 16, 1903 and which is
Incorporated in the amended articles
of Incorporation filed last Saturday is
as follows.
Whereas. 1t is desirous that the
branch line shall be built from the
main line of said railway, as provided
for in the articles of incorporation. to
the town of Glenwood Springs, Gar
field county, and state of Colorado.
Be 1t Resolved, That the articles
of incorporation be amended as fol.
lows:
Also to construct, acquire, own,
operate and maintain. in the same
manner and with the same power as
herein given for the main line of said
railway, branch line, starting at

pOStOffiCe improvements

Last Monday when our citizens
made their usual trip to the postoffice
they had to look all around time or
two to find out where they were cat"
for the interior of the building had
been changed until it looked more like
some other postoffice than it did our
own. Right at the front il the Office
of the P. M, then comes the money
order window, the stamp and general
delivery window and the boxes all in
row on the east side of the building
while the west side is open nearly all
the way back
This arrangement makes it more
convenient for the Office force who will
be able to make better time In the
distribution Of the mail. The walls
and ceiling will be papered and the
woodwork freshly painted in the
course Of q few weeks and the post
Office will then have chaiming front
to present to our summer visitors.

Contests Claim.

w. W. Livingston had hearing
be gre the land Office this week. He
contests the homestead claim of Beona
A. Broden to 100 acres of land adjoin-
ing the Livingston ranch. 1t is
claimed by Livingston that Borden
only resided on the homestead several
days and failed to improve the prop
erty in any way. Borden is said to
be in South Park, Colorado, but has
not been heard from. 1t will be some
time before Livingston claim will
be settled as the land office must first
take action and then have the proceed
ings reviewed by the government.

wild Shooting by Olsen

Everybody in town knows Sig
Olsen, the big, good natuled chap who
makes the wheels go round on one of
the Denver & Rio Grande locomotives,
but not everybody knows Sig's new
gun.
Sig got the gun the other day and
decided to go duck hunting as the
birds were flying low that day So
he started down past the depot and
met friend who said:
Hello, going to kill bearI''
Nope, ducks. - said Sig
A block farther down Sig met an
other friend, who said:
"Hello, Teddy Roosevelt, going to
kill off some more bear2"
Nope, ducks, said Sig.
Down by the water tank, Sig met
third friend, who said
Hello, going to"
Bang roared the gun, tired of
this repetition, and Sig sighted weari
ly and answered "Nope, ducks,'' and
went on down the river
Now the gun was loaded. and the
charge went off on little investiga.
tion of its own, which took it through
the door of one of kendrick' s cottages.
This somewhat amazed lady who
was occupying the cottage, and she
promptly yelled 'assassins,' or words
to that effect which hroupht m the
marshal. The latter followed Mr..
Olsen, and brought him back to town
Olsen, was able to convince the lady
that she was not being followed by
Mafia or anarchists, and so everything
was settled satisfactorily all around
