The contest for the best descriptive
articles on Colorado, inaugurated by
the Denver Press Club last summer for
the benefit Of the delegates to the con-
vention of the International League of
Press Clubs. held in Denver in Sep
TENDER, is closed and the prizes have
been awarded. From all points Of
view including that Of advertising Col
orado. on an elaborte scale, the con-
test was entirely satisfactory.
The competition was open to all
newspaper men and magazine writer's
who attended the recent convention.
About forty of them, after enjoying
Colorado's hospitality and learning Of
the states marvellous opportunities
through visit to every section of the
commonwealth. went home and told
the world in type and pictures their
opinions OF this wonderful state.
In every case the articles were COM
plimentary. A score or more Of the
largest newspapers of the country
sounded praises for Colorado to their
millions OF readers. The contest was
by far the most successful and at the
same timc the most extensive PROPOSE
ton for advertising a state that is on
record In newspaperdom.
In the forty papers and periodicals
in which the articles ran, Colorado was
given total space of over 600 columns
OF reading matter and illustrations.
There was not an industry, nor a city,
or town, or mining camp or farming
section that was overlooked by the
writer's. In many of the stories great
attention wes paid to detail. and, as
consequence, many resources of the
tons that have heretofore been over
looked in advertising matter. were
written up in excellent style.
The incentive for SO many entries
In the contest was the delightful man
ner in which the visitors were enter
tanned. and a prize of gold bar val
ued at $1,000 offered by Fred G. Shaf-
fer. the mining man and a former
newspaper man, who is a member of
the club.
The gold bar was cashed at the
United States mint on Saturday and
the money deposited in bank. Checks
wore then forwarded to the five prize
winners.

Legal Victory for Gould.

Pueblo.-The Chieftain, commenting
on the decision of the Supreme Court
Of California, says: A protracted and
bitter judicial war between the Gould
and Hartman railroad interests has
just been won by the Goulds. The
case involved the right OF the Western
Pacific to cross the tracks Of the
Southern Pacific and build its mole
across the tide line on the Oakland
side Of the bay. The decision Of the
Supreme Court grants to Mr.. Gould
the right to acquire such terminals
as may be necessary. This decision ID
of great Importance to all the territory
tributary to the Denver and Rio
Grande road and especially to Pueblo
as with the completion of the West
ern Pacific this city will be one of the
most important centers on the Gould
transcontinental line.

PNEUMONIA FOLLOWED la GRIPPE.


Plant memory is a problem for the
inquisitive botanist. says the Dundee
Advertiser. In 1901 a plant allied to
the squash and pumpkin was taken to
New York from the desert OF Sonora,
in Mexico. and since then 1t has been
kept-without watering-in a strange
climate $500 miles from home. Dur
ing the six weeks Of rain In the des-
ert the plant grows Its leaves and
flowers and perfects its seed. Then
1t dries up and leaves only a water
filled gourd. which thick. hard shell
seals against animals and evaporation.
The transplanted specimen still re-
members the rainy season of six
weeks. 1t wakes, sends out rootlets.
stems and leaves. and then dries up
again until the following year.

Expensive City to Llx. In.

High prices continue to rule In Daw.

expensive town in the world. 1t is a
thriving place with population of
over 5000, with warehouses, churches.
banks. electric lights. wholesale and
retail stores and two up-to-date news
papers. The newspapers themselves
are worthy of consideration in the
light Of expense. for they cost rs cents
a copy. At this time of the year three
eggs ordered in restaurant cost
$1.60, while caribou steak costs one
dollar. Beer is worth one dollar bot.
tie and champagne $10.50 a quart.

Telephones and Competition.
COLORADO

Telephones and Competition.
Every community which has a tele-
phone service is likely to be con-
fronted by the question of granting a
franchise to a rival company. Each
case must be decided by the govern
ing circumstances, but every case will
show the popularity of the telephone
problem. The telephone is a natural
monopoly, for 1t is to the advantage
telephones should be on the same sys-
tenn with him. More than one system
means that subscriber must have
more than one instrument, or be out
of communication with part of the
world of telephone-users. 1t is diff
cult, however. to adjust human nature
to ideal mechanical conditions. Estab-
lished companies, without rivals. lack
the motive of competition to keep
rates down and service good. There
fore some communities have welcomed
new companies which promised better
and cheaper service. Dual systems.
like labor strikes, are on their face
economic losses, yet 1t may be worth
while to endure the temporary dis
comfort and loss in order to secure
better conditions ultimately. The
butcher may be on one system and
the baker on another, yet low rates
may bring two instruments within the
previous cost of one. and may SO in
crease the number of subscribers
within call as to atone for the incon-
venience. If finally one company abb
serbs the other. the community may
have become so well established in
low rates that the surviving company
dare not raise them. On the other
hand says the Youths Companion, the
effect of competing companies is
sometimes merely to divide the tele-
phone-users of a community without
adding many to the total number. and
II the companies then make an agree
ment to keep rates up. the community
Is worse on than before. In the
strategical game which a community
plays with public service companies.
1t is difficult to determine in the case
Of the telephone service how far the
actual or threatened establishment Of
b rival company stimulates mechani-
cal improvement and checks the ma
tural tendency OF monopoly to extor-
ton. No community can settle the
question without careful study.
