COOPERATION IN GREAT BRIT.
AIN

me annual cooperative congress"
has again been in session In London
to call the worlds attention to the re-
markable success of this movement
to make the poor mans pennies and
shillings reach further in satisfying
his needs. The progress reported for
the year 1905 was quite in keeping
with that of previous years.
Besides the little cooperative re.
tail stores that were founded half
century or more ago and the great
cooperative retail stores that have
grown out of them. there are the.
Wholesale societies, various kinds of
factories. farms and dairies. and also
successful cooperative insurance for
lie and fire and accidents The sta.=
tiBtics do not pretend to be complete,
for with the extension of the move
ment 1t Is harder each year to get all
the facts together, but their very in
completeness makes them all the
more striking.
FOR l,6l6 societies the value OF
shares is now $l45. 900, 900, an increose
OF $5,0O0,000 in the year. The total
membership. now two and a quarter
million, Increased by over $4,000 In
the year The years sales were $47O,.
ooo.ooo, an increase of some $4,000
200, and the years profits were in
round figures S50,00O,OOO, an increase
of over $5O0,0O0.
IL Is observed that the number of
societies Is not greatly increasing.
and in some branches 1t is falling off.
even while the total business and
continues to grow. Pro.
ductive societies are gaining less rap.
loiy than mercantile business, while
agricultural cooperation shows little
movement. The cooperative insur.
ance has been developing rapidly.
FOR the future an extension Of the
banking department of the great En-.
siissh Wholesale society is planned. so /.
nat 1t can finance the whole move.
nent In all its parts. A savings and
Investment department may also be {,
,ded.
Significant of the spirit which
aakes the movement extend, fs the
act that last year over $4a,U,O0O was
pent in educational work. An en-
eavor is being made toFinduce all so

Farming and Stock Interests.
To one entering Pagosa Springs
rom the junction of the main line of
ne Denver & Rio Grande the impress
sion might be formed that there was
little else in Archuleta county but
timber. This is far from the case as
some of the finest farming lands iu<
the southwest are 10 be found while
the grazing interests are second to
none in the southwest, and possibly
2 larger number of cattle and sheep
are to be found in the county than
any other. At any rate 1t will pay
the visitor to drive about the county.
One will find well improved ranches
and cosy and comfortable homes and
each year adds to the number.

The astounding tenacity with which
life clings TO the human body is a
good thing to remember in these sum
mer days when the bathing resorts
are taking their annual toll OF human
life. The case OF Robert Mooney, re-
ported by the life-saving service OF
the third division, is a good iilustra-
ton Of this fact lie was brought to
terra firma after being under water
for % minutes The life savers worked
over him for an hour and three-quar-

life was obtained, and he did not re-
gain consciousness until the next day.
II his body had been recovered by or
dinary unframed men there is little
question that he never would have re-
gained consciousness at all. After 10
or 20 minutes Of artificial respiration
hope would have been given up and
the faint little spark Of life which ovi-
IDENTIFY remained allowed TO die out for
lack OF perseverance. After the re-
moyal of water from the lungs arti-

to and continued for several hours il
