THE FIRST STATE CAPITAL.
Did Timer Gives Some Early History
Of Colorado.

The following letter recently ap.
pearing In the Denver Times furnishes
rome very interesting data concerning
pioneer history Of the state. The let
ter reads:
Touching the question OF moving the
Did Chinese laundry from Colorado
CITY TO Denver as a capitol relic, allow
an Old settler to give an item or two
OF history, wherein he was a partici-
pant.
The building that John Chinaman
mas occupied for many years as
washee-washee house is not and never
was any part OF the Legislative cabins
or capitol buildings. Said cabin was
erected and occupied by DIR. James
Garvin, the first physician who 10
| Gated at Colorado City. and who came
across the plains In May, 1859, In the
same wagon train and mt the same
time that the undersigned crossed. In
search OF gold.
When the Legislature convened at
Colorado City In 1861 1t was in compli-
ance with a statute passed by the first
session OF the same Legislature
| which session was held in Denver. in
pursuance of the command of the ZEN
abling act" of Congress.
| This second session convened at
! Colorado City. the capital. and the
lower house Of representatives, assem-
bled In a frame house built by John
NJ. Francisco OF Fort Garland for a
store building. and its location was
several lots below or down street from
the said Chinese cabin. and has since
been demolished to give place TO a
better building.
Ill
was called, held its sessions in a
kitchen or wing of Mrs. Maggard's no
tel on Center street, about three
blocks distant
That building was log house. but
has long since been used for firewood
Mr.. Francisco was member of the
council from Conejos county, and the
writer was n member OF the lower
house or representative from FL Pasc
county and should therefore be quail
fed to state the facts of history accu
rately.
The Legislature was in session only
about four days at Colorado City
when It adjourned to Denver for the
balance OF the session on the g"nunt
that the capitol was deficient in &C
commodations and that the then Gov
ernor Evans refused 10 remove th'
records of his Office or to come himsel
to the capitol. and n majority of the
Legislature agreed with him and ad
iourned the balance of the session Il
Denver. having been at Colorado Cit!
four days.
During that session the capitol wa!
removed to Golden City. and ut th'
following session the capitol was 10
Gated permanently at Denver.
Such is the history of the capitol af
fair at Colorado City, and of the capi
tol buildings. There are yet three o.
four people living at Colorado Cit!
who can testify to these facts. A. Y
Sheldon and Anthony Bott are two o
them.
Colorado City was at that time thu
home and play ground of thousands o
antelope, and none of us in our wildes
hope ever dreamed of a city, or evel
village being located there.

, mILLlon-ooLLAa MINE TEMPLE
Magnificent Structure Now Assured
for Denver In Near Future.

Denver. - Denver has practically
been assured the big 81 100000 mining
temple which is to be built under the
direction Of the American Mining Con
gress.
At a special meeting OF the directors
OF the congress to take place In Den
yer during the latter part OF August
plans will be made to raise the funds
necessary to begin the building. 1t Is
tho intention to buy land as Il site for
the temple early this fall.
Though the committee to have
charge OF selecting the site has not ar
rived at a definite conclusion as to its
probable location, II is expected that
either Eighteenth or Nineteenth street,
close to the site of the new federal
; building will be the most favorable.
Judge J. II. Richards OF Boise Is one
of the principal members Of the execu'
tive committee interested in building
the temple in Denver, having been Sc
! lected as one of the three members
OF the committee that will have general
supervision over the erection of the
big mining monument In Denver. The
other members are Governor Buchtel
representing the state. and Meyer
Friedman, president Of the Chamber OF
Commerce.
Members OF this committee, In addi
tion to the directors OF the congress
will assemble at the Chamber of Com
merce at the meeting during the lattei
part of August and when the busines:
directly connected with the minini
congress is transacted the fund plani
wall be discussed.
Judge Richards has given much o
his time toward the best method o
raising the necessary funds ana II |!
the belief of Denver members OF tht
congress that he will present an origi
nal plan. When the temple movemen
was first suggested he argued in favo
of Denver as the most suitable plac
for the big building, explaining that
was pretty nearly in the very cente
OF the really wealthy mineral dlstric
OF the United States.
II has since the first proposition q
building mining temple in Denve
been the view OF Judge Richards tha
large investments In the building viii
be the most convenient and at tn
same time will assure speedicr build
ing of the temple. Judge Richards vii
be one OF the heavy investors.
Upon learning of the new progress
in the temple building movement rea
estate men have attempted to figur
out the probable location of the ten
pie and II is their belief that It will re
suit in a boom In surrounding propert
similar TO what is now taking place 4
the neighborhood of the site for tn
new federal building.
In addition to more definitely decit
ing on a plan for raising funds for tn
building of the temple and the selet
tion of site. 1t is expected that tn
directors OF the movement will as
several architects to furnish sugge:
tions for the temple and TO arrang
outlines of new building schemes.

French Law School in Egypt.

Egyptian jurisprudence appears to-
be almost a misnomer owing to the,
large part played in the law courts of
the country by foreign laws and law
yers. Some years ago, in the days
when British and French policy in
Africa or elsewhere did not jog trot as
smoothly side by side as they do to-
day, the French even founded law
school in Cairo, and this at present
has 224 students.
Its progress has been so great that
it is being paralyzed Cor want of space
to grow, in, and the French minister
of public instruction has been sent to
devise means for providing them. In
this he has succeeded by an ingenius
expedient. The French Archaeological
institute, built on land bought for e4,-
600, but now worth 100000, is to be-
sold for cheaper land of greater ex-
tent, and on this will arise a new law
school,

adopted for census, preliminary cleo.
tion and then a general election six
months later will result in the selec.
tion of president and congress who
will be able to maintain themselves
and give a stable rule to the island,
and that the delay in taking a census
is taken by the Cubans as an earnest
of the American governments de-
sire to secure stable government be-
fore it leaves, so there shall be no ex-
cuse for second intervention"

to Cincinnati to attend Yale club
meeting, will then address the Dayton

discuss the Panama canal before the

TOO MUCH WATER.
1T is FOUND IN THE CAPITAL
lzATloN OF MINNESOTA
RAILROADS.
LEGISLATORS FIND A DIFFER.
ENcE BETWEEN REAL AND
BONDED VALUE.

st. Paul, Minn.-Railroad property
in Minnesota is valued at $215,.
100000 by the Sundberg investigating
committee which returned it's report
Monday to the Minnesota senate. This
is approximately $4,000 mile. The
property is capitalized to the extent
of S400, 100000, or $4,000 mile on an
average. The net earnings, according
to the committees findings, averaged
over $4,000 mile last year, or Is per
cent. on the committees valuation.
The committee, which consists of
Senators Sundberg, eastman, Cane.
storp, Nelson and Sageng, recon-
mends that Committee of three be
empowered to investigate generally
into the capitalization of the railroads
of Minnesota and the relation the
stocks and bonds bear to the value
thereof, and the enactment Of such
appropriate legislation as the condi'
tions disclosed demand"
A large section of the report is de-
voted to drastic review of the Chi
cago Great Western. This road, 1t
says was built by A. B. Stickney, who
raised the funds by acquiring, organic.
ing, reorganizing and 'Harrimanizing'
divers and sundry corporations OF
Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois,"
The capital stock and funded debt
of the road is s143,66S mile and the
committee figures it's value at $2S,000
"a mile. In it's latest report the Chi.
cago Great Western Co. certified that
the line and equipment cost s9S,011 a
mile, and in It's statement there Is an
item, purchase of constructed road,
S66,994.63 a mile" This would mean
$50,000,000 for the whole line. In 1891
there was reported for purchase OF
constructed road, $6,313, 1882" 1t
was then S15 miles long. Fifteen
years later" says the committee
this elastic item had been stretched
to $50, O,594, ,3442S, but the whole line
had shrunk 60 miles in length. 1t had
been watered too much"

ALL OF THEM UNREAL
orientaI's Monsoose of the Same Breed
as the Snakes.

Ernest Harold Baynes is one of the

about the bison the other day in the

why" said he, "if we don't look out
bison will be like the oriental's mon
goose. An oriental saffron colored,'
garbed in robes of flowing white, sat
in the smoking car of a Pullman. A.
thin, inquisitive man took the seat be-
side him and began to question him.
where ye from?'
"Delhi.'
Where ye goin'?'
"Los Angeles
Are ye in the rug business?'
"'No
Retired?
No. / do no work.
Born rich, hey?'
80 the questions went on and thes
oriental no doubt got tired of them,
for when the man asked him what he {,
had in his kit he answered that he /,
had mongoose. "A mongoose?' said
the other. What's a mongoose?'
"A mongoose is little animalA
that kills snakes. Didn't you ever
read Mr.. Kipling's story of "Rikki--
tikki-tavi?"'
No. but what are you goin to do ,
with mongoose in Los Angeles?'
"I am going to see my uncle saidi
tho oriental. Hc is heavy drlnker andl
is suffering from delirium tremens.
When his attacks come on he sees alll
kinds of snakes, and 1 am taking tho
mongoose out there to kill them The,
inquisitive man leaned back in his,
seat and laughed.
Why he said they're not Feal1
snakes your uncle sees. They're i'm
aginary.'
And replied the oriental calmly,
this is an imaginary mongoose.
