one held on the grounds of this associa-
ton. PROM an uncertain experiement
at the beginning 1t has grown to be one

This has come about from settled
policy OF giving to the patrons the
very best at all times diminishing the

of education is offered in the lyceum
where the most noted educators of the
country deliver courses of lectures. The
evenings are given up to social fuuc-
tons and auditorium entertainments.

general announcement Of this assembly
has just been issued. 1t is a neat little
volume Of forty-four pages, well illus
trated with typical western scenes rep
resenting with fullness the charm of
life among the mountains of Colorado.
1t also gives detailed account of tie

School courses. Twenty thousand cop
les have been issued for free distribu.

Three kinds of excursions are de.
scribed: Railway excursions, carriage
drives and mountain climbs. Some vesy
attractive trips are offered under each

Georgetown Loop trip, the Wild Flower
excursion, through Platte canon, Snow.

Tyranny Of Clothes.

Place a man in a silk hat and
frock coat, and transport him to q
farmyard. Agricultural pursuits may
be the one passion of his life, but
clad in these garments he feels in
such surroundings miserable, out of
place, essentially urban. Clothe him,
conversely, in nannels or knickers,
and place him in a church, and it is
utterly impossible for him to as
sumo a fitting devotional frame of
mind. Unlimited autocracy itself can
not impose such tyrannies on the
subject. Civilization is the slave of
Its clothes-and there is no prospect
Of freedom.-London Daily Graphic.

ciatlon from $4,000 10000 shares
at $50 per share) tc $1.S2O,OOO (22,-
900 shares at $50 per share) is the
purpose of a special meeting Of the
Water Users association to be held
on December 20, next. just called by
the directors of the Water Users as
ISOLATION, says the Hermston Inde-
pendent.
This increase Of the capital stock
is for the purpose of including all
the land under the project in the
association. The original incor-
poration was made small to be with
in the finances Of the association, and
now that 1t Will be possible to do so
the stock is to be increased.
This will make regular the meet
ings Of the association and will set
tie once and for all considerable
trouble that has arisen from the ef-
forts of factions to carry other diff
ferences into the association. AL
though stock has been subscribed for
by every owner of land under the
project, and up until recently every
subscriber has been allowed a vote at
the last annual meeting an Intellectual
effort has been made to limit the
votes cast to the stockholders pres
ent who were owners of the original
5000 shares, for the purpose Of shut
ing out popular representation,
purpose that failed.
other amendments to be voted on
are to change the time of the annual
meeting and election to the second
Saturday in January; to allow the as
ISOLATION to buy and plant trees for
windbreaks along the public high
ways; that all applications for stock
must be accompanied by recording
fee, proof of title to land, and pay
ment of all stock assessments in ar
rears on said lands; that no person
shall vote at an election when any
assessments are in arrears on his
land.

accused always denied, but could
