The Colorado Museum.

Denver.-An effort is being made by
the management of the Colorado Mu
scum of Natural History in this city
to enlist the interest of people through
out the state in adding to its collection
of wild animals of all varieties, for
mounting and displaying, which ample
provisions exist in the fine museum
building in City Park.
The work shown there this fall CON
vinces every scholar that n new at
tractiveness is in store for the
stuffed" animal. The display of
groups of animals In various natural
attitudes. in the midst of their native
surroundings of rock and vegetation,
within air tight cases of plate glass
and mahogany, opens up new possibili.
ties without end for the modern mus
cum. The specimens will last for ages
to show future generations what man
ner of beasts dwelt in these noun
tains and on our plains.
The museum will be glad to receive
good specimens in the flesh of all our
animals, which will be well mounted
and the donors names displayed.
Where desired it will pay the car
riage charges. 1t prefers them just
as killed, that the taxidermist may
study their bodies and SO get the best
results.
The management is engaged this
winter In completing the interior of
the building, and expects to have
ample room for everything in the
spring. The museum is the property
OF the people. and looks to them for
material and support. II there is any
one who would like to help on the work
with funds to pay for the case and
mounting of any particular group, 1t
will be glad to be SO informed. Such
case would bear the donors name

In its relations than the one filed last

evidence that points to secret rela-
tions among grooers and companies

DENVER TO BE a SEAPORT.
Prediction Of Director Of Bureau Of
American Republics.

Denver.-Seventy members OF the
chamber OF commerce and their guests
enjoyed a luncheon at the Brown
Palace hotel Saturday noon as well as
an excellent address by Hon John
Barrett. director of the International
Bureau of American Republics. Mr..
Barrett Is one OF the highest officials
in the diplomatic field and his recep-
ton at the Brown was no less en-
thusiastic than that accorded him FRI
day night when he lectured at the
First Baptist church. His subject Sat
urday was "Colorado's Interest In For
eign Trade" He said:
"Colorado's full material develop
ment can only come by her taking n
direct interest in everything that per-
tains to the advancement OF the for
eign commerce OF the United States.
The more the markets which buy OF
Colorado can sell to foreign parts, the
more they will purchase of Colorado.
The Panama canal will fall in its use
fulness unless the United States be-
gins at once to improve its interior
waterways so that every part of the
country can get It's share of the ad-
yantages of the canal and of the vast
new trade OF the Pacific that Will be
opened up by It's completion. The time
is coming In the material development
of the United States when 1t will be
possible to load barges of light draft
at wharves in Denver and carry un-
broken cargoes to New Orleans or
some other seaport. or take tho pro
ducts of your state for the home con-
sumption of the United States to the
great markets of St. Louis and Chi
cago.
Il mean that the day is coming
when great inland canal or chain of
canals will connect Denver with the
Mississippi river and 1t is my sincere
prediction that Denver will yet be n
seaport of the Gulf Of Mexico. Colo
RADIO should lead in a movement OF
the Western states for united action
at Washington in securing such legis-
lation as the Mississippi section
requires. The only way for the West
to Offset the special advantage the
East possesses from more states.
greater population aud hence more
representatives. is for the West to
present united front in its de.
mands."

New York.-Satisfaction is general
in money circles because of the gov

by the issue of $4,000, 900 in Panama

short-time certificates was more OF a
novelty and as such attracted more
discussion. The general opinion was
that both measures would tend to draw
Idle money from private boards and
thereby break the premium on cur

the money market.
From other financial centers

New Mexican Statehood.

shington.-Governor Curry and
Major Llewellyn of New Mexico, were
at the White House Saturday. 1t is
known that Major Llewellyn is MAX
ing the fight of his life to hold his
position as United States district at
torney of New Mexico, having had a
clash with the special agents OF the
departments of justice and the interior
who have been investigating New
Mexico's alleged land frauds.
In an interview Saturday Governor
Curry said that in addition to looking
after the matters of especial interest
Of federal officials in New Mexico, he
was here to do what he could for
statehood for New Mexico.
New Mexico, he said, would well
come a census to determine It's fitness
for admission, and II Congress thinks
4 census should be held before the
territory is admitted to statehood,
there will be no opposition to such
Legislation from New Mexico.
AS to presidential politics, Governor
Curry said:
"Well. New Mexico is for another
term for President Roosevelt. This
ices not take into consideration what
he Rough Riders want. refer to
what the people want. They are for
The President, and every delegate
elected will be for him. If can have

Las Animas county's Growth.

Notwithstanding to an abstract
Of the assessment of Las Animas
county for 1907. Just issued by AS.
SCISSOR s. H. Stevens, the wealth of
the county has increased more than
$1,500,000 during the last year. The
statement shows a total net assess
ment of $13,259,955 as compared with
$12.5S7 1892 of last year. This is taken
on the basis of fifty per cent valua.
ton, and shows remarkable increase.
The increase is due largely to the in
creased acreage of coal lands. The
acreage last year was 6S,45S, and this
year is given as 12S,510. The land last
year was valued at $19 per acre. while
this year shows a valuation of approx
imately SIS. This is largely due to
the fact that new tracts have been
opened for mining purposes that have
not yet been developed to full ca
pacity.

PRESIDENT CONGRATULATED
On the Success of the Governments
Financial Measures.

Washingtoa-President Roosevelt
has been commended and congratu-
lated throughout the day on the wis
dom and success of the financial re-
lief measures launched Sunday by the
administration. Many kilograms from
all parts Of the country, including New
York, Chicago and other large cities.
have been arriving all day at the
White House, and after being read by
the President have been referred to
Secretary Cortelyou at the treasury
department The callers at the White
House, who have been numerous, have
each added an opinion on the optimis-
tic side of the situation.
The President was informed from
Bunalo that his letter expressing con-
ndence in the fiscal soundness of the
country had been printed in several
languagec in Buffalo, and distributed
among depositors who were making
run on a bank there, with the effect
of checking the run.
Before the business day of the
treasury had ended many applications
arrived for the new certificates of in
debtedness. The fiscal uses to which
these certificates may be put will make
the demand for them very general, ac
cording to the opinion of experts in
the department They may be regis
tered in the treasury and partake of
the nature of government bond, and
as such be deposited as security for
national bank circulation or deposits.
When not registered 1t is predicted
they will circulate freely as currency.
The infarQcf
amount to 12h cents a month, and
holder may easily obtain credit for the
amount of interest he is entitled to
at his bank. Assurance was given
that the gold reserve of the govern
ment was behind these certificates,
and this fact. addd to their interest
bearing feature, will make them eag-
erly sought.
Tie hint contained In the Presi-
dents letter that financial relief leg
islation was assured, resulted in many
inquiries during the day to develop
the exact situation. 1t is admitted the
President has consulted freely with
the leaders OF both houses of Con-
gress, by mail and in person, but Just
what is the present status of the leg
islative plans is withheld. One point
of unanimity is certain. Every sena-
tor and member of the House of Rep
resentctives who has called at the
White House during the financial dis
tress has been free to say that finan-
cial legislation would be the first bust
ness of the next session of Congress-
Beyond this point the unanimity has
ceased, and many men have proposed
plans
The President has been heartily
seconded by every comment in his
statement of the soundness of the
country's finances. and that the van
ishing point of the financial furry has
arrived.
