The cut, small as it is, conveys q
good idea of the size of the building,
its length and the number of stories.
The higher portion at the left, Is now
in process of completion. When 1t is
occupied, which will be soon, the main
aisle through the store will be 400 feet
in length and twenty feet wide, and
the entire floor space will be seven
and one-third acres. Just imagine 1t,
or better, visit and see it. Over seven
acres devoted to the sale of valuable
goods Of almost unnumbered kinds.
where nearly 1000 clerks and other
employees are busy every working day
in the year. They and their families
alone would constitute a very respec-
table small city
During the recent holiday season,
just before Christmas, one of the Dem
yer dailies published cut from a pho
tograph, showing the 1886 employees
then at work massed in a group in
front of the store. 1t attracted much
attention. But it would be even more
interesting If cut could be made of
the hundreds of thousand dollars
worth of goods that were sold over the
counters and sent out to mail order
customers during the holiday period. II
would be hard to estimate the number
OF people who visited the store in the
three weeks preceding Christmas,
and the facilities of the splendidly
equipped mail order department were
taxed to the limit.
The display windows alone were
worth going far to see. The entire
length of high plate glass front is $50
feet. and the building has 256 plate
glass windows.
The fact that its capital city can
boast an establishment of this kind,
the peer of the very best department
stores in the country and a paradise
for shoppers, is evidence that Colorado
is no longer the frontier" for it is
the growth of Colorado and the Rocky
Mountain region in population and
wealth that has made such a store
possible.

The STATE IS SEEKING
FINAL ACTION ON LANDS
Wants Title Transferred from Interior
Department to Many Acres Of
Valuable Lands.

st. Paul, Nov. 20. An effort will
be made in Washington next week
to secure final action by the inter ior
department in the transfer to the
state of Minnesota of about $4,000
of swamp land located in the north
ern part of the state. State Auditor
S. G. Iverson will leave for Washing
ton Saturday evening, where he will
meet Gov. John A.. Johnson and
Attorney General Young, who will
assist him in having the matter
taken up by the department.. Sena-
tors Knute Nelson and Moses E.
Clapp, as we'll as the entire congress
sional delegation from this state, will
also be asked to assist in securing a
final adjustment of this matter.
The lands involved consist of
about 147 acres in the reservation
set aside for the Chippewas in Itasca,
Cass and Beltrami counties and 49,
O7O acres located in the former
White Earth reservation in the new
county of Mahnomen. These lands
were granted ty the state of Mime
sofa by the swamp land act of 1860,
but have never been patented to the.
state. They were subsequently in
cluded in Indian reservations and
while they were being used by the
Indians the states claim was not
asserted and the matter has been
pending for some years.
The lands have been selected by
the United States surveyor general
and their selection approved by
the interior department., but the
state authorities have never been
able so far to secure patents to the
land. One reason for this is that
part of the land designated is in
Guided in the national forest reserve
about Cass Lake, and this has COM
plicated matters, somewhat delay
ing the final adjustment of the entire
matter.
The states contention is that the
title to these lands belongs to the
state, Notwithstanding the fact that
after the date of the grant to the
state the lands were made a part of
Indian reservations and this conten-
ton has been upheld by the secre-
tary of the interior and the United
States attorney general.

VERY LAX INSPECTION
Reason for Increase Of japanese
Arrivals on Pacific Coast.
MINISTER 0'BRIEN PROTESTS
Calls the Attention of the Toxic Gov
eminent to the Fact and Points Out
That It Is Not in Accordance With
the Promises Made.

Toxic, Nov. 29.-It is understood
that American Ambassador Thomas J..
O'Brien has officially called the atten-
ton of the Japanese government to
the great increase in the numbers of
Japanese arriving on the Pacific coast
He presented the view of !. state de-
partment that this cannot be consid-
cred in accordance with promises of
the Japanese government and there
fore requested rigid investigation
and prompt measures to prevent the
immigration into America of any per-
son who, entering as student, might
afterwards become laborer. There
Is reason to believe that the immigra,
ton companies in Japan are taking
advantage Of the lax inspection quail
ications for emigrants and are be-
coming holder in practicing frauds.
hence a meeting of the emigration
companies has been called for Dec. 8.
At the foreign Office it was stated to
