from diffusion and ruin. Prone to ram
bling and extending themselves on the
frontier, our citizens wiz be compelled
to leave the prairies to the wandering
and unincumbered aborigines." Great
er men than Pike stand on record to
the same effect, yet the present wealth
of Colorado is estimated at S2.o00.000.-
600 and the per capita wealth Of the
state is put down at $3.50.
Zebulon Montgomery Pike was a ma
tive of Trenton, N. J., and for that rea-
son the citizens of that city are taking
an especial interest in the coming fes-
tivities. He was the son Of another
Zebulon. who was a captain in the
Revolutionary forces. When he was
very young his parents removed tt
Easton. Pa, and afterward to Dear
born county. Ind. Young Pike entered
the army at the age of fifteen and was
appointed an ensign in 1893. When
he had reached the rank of lieutenant
he married Clarissa Brown. daughter
of fellow soldier from kentucky. The
only child of this marriage who reach
ed maturity, a daughter. became the
wife of the son of General William
Henry Harrison, who was afterward
president of the United States.
After Pixies return from his various
exploration campaigns he became lieu
tenant colonel of the Fourth infantry
and was stationed at Washington for
some time as quartermaster He was
then made colonel of the Fifth in
fantry and sent to Buffalo, which was
the frontier in those days. In 1913 he
was raised to the rank of brigadier
general, but he never knew of the fact,
for he was killed in that year while
leading an attack on Fort York. To-
ronto. He was buried at Madison bar
racks near Oedensbure N
Attempts have been made to impli-
cate Pike in the Burr conspiracy to
found a republic in the south, but with
out success. At the time alleged he
was a prisoner in the hands Of the
Spanish governor of Chihuahua, hav-
ing been captured while exploring
Mexican territory. His commanding
general and friend, Wilkinson, was ac-
cused of completely in the reasonable
plot, tried and acquitted.

The other blocks of ground east Of the
capitol plaza will soon be occupied by
a noble structure for the supreme
court. The capitol and its proposed
extension, the senate and house Office
buildings and the library viii repre-
sent an expenditure by the government
of 1872 100000.
Until a few years ago the govern
ment architect was required to make
all the plans for public buildings This
was found to be a source Of great pub
lie dissatisfaction. and the o.-tcry
against the practice of leaving every =
thing to the taste and architectural
preferences of a single individual was
very general BY the provisions OF the
Tarsney act, which became a law in
1904 it is arranged that while the slA-
pervising architect shall have a general
supervision over both the plans and the
work of construction there shall be
competition between architects Of rec
ognized merit.
The treasury department. which is
charged with the preparation of plans
and specifications for postoTces. Gus
tom houses and all other public build
ings erected by the national govern
ment, has recently issued 4 cali for a
HdHNlSd ad0i1Aol1eA VI 81 ts'tito-t AZ u LIZ

buildings ordered by congress at its
last session. The regular force Of en-
gineers. craftsmen. computers, book
