Rio Grande total of 1000 people for
the state since the first day of January.
But there is another factor to take
into consideration in making calcu-
lation on the growth Of Colorado's
population for the year. There are a
large number of tourists who came in
to Colorado every summer with no
thought of remaining here. They get a
glimpse of the scenic beauties of the
state, take a Whit or two of the pure
mountain air that continually sweeps
down from the Rockies, see the great
opportunities offered for investment,
and, then very naturally, they conclude
to remain in Colorado and become citi-
zens of the Centennial state. The rail-
roads have no records of the number
of these persons. The one thing on
which they can figure is the number
of tourists tickets deposited with the
ticket associations in the larf1er cities.
and left uncalled for at the expiration
of the time limit on these tickets.
The records for Denver alone this
summer is put at something like 1000,
in Colorado Springs the number is
1900, while there is no report from Pu-
eblo, but 1t is safe to say that 1t is
larger than Colorado Springs, and not
SO large as Denver. Put it at 1000 to
be on the safe side and there is total
OF 1900 to add to the total of $4,000
given above. Now, Denver, Pueblo and
Colorado Springs are not the only
cities in the state by any means. Fig
ure again another 1000 scattered
throughout the length and breadth Of
this great state land again these fig
ures are conservative), there is an ap-
proximate total of 5000 persons who
have found new homes in COLORADO
since January 1, 1907.
Probably before the end of the year
these figures will be considerably aug
mented.
These figures only go to show the
wonderful growth that Colorado is
making These new settlers come
from all parts Of the country. the mid
die west probably furnishing the
greater number. The figures show. too,
most conclusively, that the tide of i'm
migration has turned Coloradoward.

OF COLORADO
NCREASER 4s,O00 IN YEAR

Denver. Nov 20.-From figures COM
piled by the passenger department OF
the railroads it is figured that $4,000
persons have come to Colorado to
make their homes since the first of
the present year.
Figures compiled by the passenger
department of the Denver and Rio
Grande system show that every day
this year from January l to November
l6, there have been unloaded at sta
tons along their line in Colorado alone
an average of one car Of immigrant
goods. Three hundred and sixteen days
of the current year have passed; SIG
carloads and over Of household goods
have been unloaded along the line Of
the Rio Grande system alone. But care
fully compiled figures of the railroads
entering the state show that only
about one family in three brings its
household goods along when they
move into new location. The balance
before setting out for new home
have a vendue or an auction sale and
get rid OF all their old household and
farm goods. This auction sale is es-
pecialyy popular in the eastern states
About one out Of three of these sturdy
eastern men prefers to enter his new
state unimcumbered; he rrefers to
buy new goods and to get the kind Of
agricultural implements best suited to
new locations.

a week or ten days after he left
Marble Creek on the 8th. He was
asked If he wa sin the strike at Grip
pie Creek and said he was and went
from there to Denver. That was the
time he changed his name to Steve
Dixon. Said he had about $3.50 when
he left Cripple Creek but gave $50 or
SIS to his wife. His wife and family
drew relief from the Western Fedora
ton of Miners all the time they were
on strike. The first time he ever
heard of those cabins on Marble creek
being blown up wa safter he had been
put In the cell with Harry Orchard at
Boise in 1906.
Mr.. Darrow asked him II he was
ever in the Marble creek country after
the last Of July or the first of August
as he had testified. He said he was
never there after coming out on the
Sth OF August
Adams told of his arrest in Baker
City and said he was not allowed to
see lawyer until just before leaving
when a man named Moore came up
and he and Brown and Thiele got in
the cab with him and rode to the de-
pot. Moore looked at his requisition
papers and told Adams that he could
keep him there but thought it would
be best for him to go to Boise. He
said Brown told him II he would go
to Boise and corroborate the state
ments of the onicials there he would
be all right as he was on the inside
and knew what he was talking about
He was placed in a cell with Harry
Orchard at Boise and kept there five
or six days. During that time Warden
Whitney took him out and told him
II he would corroborate Orchards
confession he would be all right.
Mcfarland came and told him II he
would corroborate the confession of
Orchard he would be all right Nc
Parland told how he had let OF several
people who had done the killing in the
Molly Mcguire cases because they
turned states evidence. MCFARLAND
told him he represented Governor
Gooding and the state of Idaho. and
wanted him to connect Simpkins and
other Federation officials.

Sanborn, of the western district Of
Wisconsin, sitting in the habeas cor
pus against several Wisconsin persons
against whom indictments were pre-
sented charging conspiracy to defraud
the government of valuable coal lands
in Colorado. yesterday rendered a de-
cision discharging those connected

company. u. Psreless, Charles =. Hun
ter, Guy D. Goff and H. NJ. Benjamin,
all of Milwaukee.
In the case against these five men
Judge Sanborn held there was NO
crime, no intent of crime, and no con-
spiracy as charged. The court In the
cases against Elias Arnold and Chaun-
cey L. Jones of the Federal Coal &
Iron company, held these men to the
grand jury in Colorado. A contest
will now be made to prevent the re-
moval to Colorado of those held, coun-
sci for the defendants contending that
if there is any crime it was COM
mitted in Wisconsin and that the trial
should be held in this state.

fishermen, proves that the silt and
mud washed into it in time of storms
soon settled, and that, like other
streams having their sources in the
mountains, some of which, like the
Gunnison river, are now a great tour
/ ist resort and attract annually fisher
men from all parts of the country.
The silt washed into the river as the

value as a fishing stream, the real
trouble comes from washing into it
the clays and mineral matters insep-
arabic from hydraulic mining along
its upper reaches.
A praiseworthy start has been made
by Pueblo, Salida and by our own
county and city to stop the perpetual
ton of this nuisance by an appeal to
the courts. and by a generous and
hearty cooperation on the part of the
public, there can be no doubt of its
ultimate success Experts are at
work getting ready for the legal bat

count of the lack of funds to push
the prosecution, which ought not to
be the case in SO important a matter.
nice contribution has been made by
the Canon City Hydraulic and Irri-
eating Ditch company and others are
expected to come forward with equally
liberal donations. Less than seven
hundred dollars is expected from the
people OF Canon City and Fremont
county to pay their part in furthering
this great movement, a mere baga-
telle in comparison with its benefits
to the community.

of T. NJ. Harding of the local COM
mittee, which was duly appointed
several months ago by the Canon City
Merchants Association. Everybody
from Leadville to Pueblo is deeply in
terested in the restoration of the Ar
kansas river to its original condition,
and that it may be accomplished the
public is urged to contribute to the
present movement Will not every
man who feels an interest in the mat
ter promptly come forward and con-
tribute his mite to this great cause
without being appealed to personally?
In union there is strength and victory.

PROHIBITION AN ISSUE
TN SOUTHERN STATES

~m. e. Curtis writing to the Chi
cago Record-Herald from Charlotte.
N. c.. has this to say about the pro-
hibition movement in the south:
Prohibition is the only political issue
In the South. The entire population Is
now lined up on one side or the other.
There IL no distinct prohibition party.
but both OF the old parties have put
planks In their platforms advocating
the abolition OF the liquor traf1c and
at local elections the members OF both
are found voting for and against local
option and prohibition.
In Alabama a law has recently been
passed authorizing each county to vote
on the liquor question and q large ma
tority of the counties have already
voted for prohibition It is predicted
that the next legislature will pass a
general prohibition law.
In Arkansas a similar law prevails.
and sixty out OF seventy-eigh: counties
have adopted prohibition.
In Florida thirty out OF forty-five
counties have suppressed all saloons,
and the Democratic party has declared
for prohibition. This means the adop-
ton OF a general prohibition law at the
next session OF the Legislature.
<In Kentucky-mirabile dictu-the
sale OF liquor Is prohibited in all but
four OF the 40 counties of the state.
and even in these every saloon Is clos
Cd on Sunday.
In Louisiana sevcn-eights OF the
NQunties are dry. and there is a law
pr6Aibitng what Was called Jug
trains" Before this law was passed ac-
commodation trains used to run from
cities and towns where liquor was sold
into dry counties" on Saturday SO
that thirsty citizens could buy a sup
ply for Sunday.
Missippi has had county local option
for several years. and in sixty-eight
out of seventy-five counties there are
laws prohibiting not only the sale OF
LIQUOR but II must not be given away.
A man may be sent to Jail for inviting
. visitor 10 take n drink with him in
his own house. This law Is habitually
evaded by placing the bottle and glass
on the s!deboard or the mantleptece.
where visitors can help themselves.
South Carolina has recently repealed
the dispensary law and adopted county
option instead and it Is expected that
4 general prohibition law will be
passed at the next session Of the leg
islature.
Georgia has a general prohibition
law and the sale OF liquor is absolutely
prohibited throughout the state.
In Tennessee liquor Is sold In but
three counties. Its sale Is absolutely
prohibited everywhere else. and the
members OF the next legislature from
rother parts Of the state will probably
wipe out those wet spots at the next
session.
In Texas two thirds Of the counties
have adopted absolute prohibition and
/ have made 1t unlawful to give away as
~ell as to sell liquor as In Mississippi.
Prohibition is the principal issue OF the
campaign now in progress.
Oklahoma, like Georgia, has passed
. general prohib!tory law.
West Virginia has abolished the
liquor traffic in thirty out OF fifty-Ave
