BIG EARTHQUAKE
A THOUSAND DIE

The suffering of the people is
beart-rending. the sights to be wit
messed beggar all description. The
once beautiful city of Kingston is now
a veritable city of debris and devasta-
ton.
The people are neeing to the low
lying hills near the city. There they
are camping without food The gov
ernment is doing everything in its
power to give succor to the injured
and to care for the homeless hun
CRY people. but so far these efforts
have met with but little success.
A dispatch from London states that
so far as known no prominent Ameri-
cans. or Englishmen were lost in the
disaster other than Sir John Fergu-
son, of London who is known to have
perished.
The earthquake and fire constitute
the worst disaster that has occurred
in this part of the world in many
years.
Kingston is the capital of the isl
and of Jamaica and its principal sea-
port and commercial center. The har-
Dor is one of the finest in the world.

NEW BOARD
IS ELECTED
ANNUAL MEETING
Of Membership of Chamber
of Commerce an Enthu-
siastic Gathering -Splen-
did Report of Year S Work
Plans for the Future.

There was decided interest in the
annual meeting of the members of
the Grand Junction Chamber of Com
merce last night. but it did lot attract
such a large crowd as 1t should have
done. There were between forty and
fifty members present at the meeting.
when there should have been not less
than a hundred or more. But there
was much interest taken by those
who were present.
President James S. Carnahan call
cd the meeting to order shortly be-
fore eight O'Clock. He said that tine
first business of the session would be
to hear the reports of the secretary
and treasurer. V. C. Talbert, treasur-
err not being present at the time, his
report was read by Secretary Aup-
perle. The total amount of receipts
and expenditures aggregated a little
over three Thousand dollars, a full
report of which is given below.
The report of Secretary Aupperle
was listened to with deal of atten-
tion and its details are given also be-
low.
Following the reading of his report
by the secretary, President Carnahan
stated that there were several things
that had been omitted by the secre-
tary, upon which he would like to
speak. among them being the effort
which had been made to secure
change of the name of Grand Valley.
He said that the Colorado Midland
road had very courteously seconded
every effort of the Chamber of Com
merce to have that name changed,
but that the Denver and Rio Grande
road had made no effort whatever. He
said for some reason some one at
Grand Valley or elsewhere seemed
to have a longer pull with the author
tiles than the Chamber of Commerce
in this city. He greatly regretted
that some action conuld not have
been secured looking to change of
that name.
Another matter which President
Carnahan referred to was the ques-
tion of the location of a normal school
in this city by the state. He said
that we should do very active work
at the present time, as Governor
BuchteI had named this city as the
logical point for a normal school and
now was the time to strike. He said
that our claims had been presented
before but that we would have
to work hard, as there were other
ambitious towns in the field to Sc
cure the normal and that we must
not be slow in our work
At the conclusion of the remarks
by the president the meeting took up
the question of the selection of the
board of directors for the ensuing
year. 1t was manifest that the mem
bers of the old board did not desire
to serve again, but were anxious to

Holland Bay. Jamaica. Jan. 10
(speciaD The city OF Kingston,
with population of $4,000 and one
of the most important and modern
cities on the inland. was almost COM
pletely destroyed by earthquake yes
terday afternoon.
Besides the natives there were over
10000 tourists in the city.
1t is estimated that at least 1000
people are dead and hundreds upon
hundreds are injured. The major
ity of those killed outright are
thought to be negroes.
The shock came about three-thirty
o'clock in the afternoon and lasted
for several minutes. Ten minutes
later fire broke out in all parts of the
city and three hours elapsed before
any efforts could be made to check
the onward march of the flames that
were adding horror to the already
and terrible ruin.
At six O'Clock last night the dis
patches stated that the fire was prac-
tically under control although raging
furiously in the business districts.
