Boulder Sugar Factory Assured.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Boulder Tuesday night says: The
beet sugar factory for Boulder is prac'
tically assured. F. F. Kilby of Cleve-
land, Ohio, who built the plants north
of Boulder, was here to-day and saw
number of business men. He wired
his associates in Cleveland to stop all
negotiations with other parties in ref
erence to the plant in Michigan, as he
had practically closed the deal with the
Boulder people. The stock company
was agreed upon, also the amount at
which the corporation shall be capital
ized. Mr.. Kilby said his associates
would be more than willing that the
majority of directors should be Boul-
der people. Contracts to furnish beets
for the new mill are already being
signed 1t is hoped the plant will be
shipped to boulder by March and be
ready for operation next fall.

ACCIDENTS TO WORKERS.
Some Appalling Statistics of Loss of
Life.

DR.. Josiah Strong, president of the
American Institute of Social Service,
in speaking of the number of persons
killed each year in our industrial occu-
pations, made some astonishing COM
parisons. He said:
1--WE in the United States kill in four
years some $4,000 persons more than
fell in battle and died of wounds dur
ing the four years of the Civil War.
We are killing more than twice as
many every year as perished by vio-
lence in both the French and English
armies during the three years OF the
Crimean War.
There are more killed and wounded
on our railroads every year than the
entire losses of the Boer War on both
sides in three years. We have indus
trial casualties enough every year to
keep one conflict like our war with
Spain going for 100 years. Our peace
full vocations cost more lives every two
DAYS than were lost in battle during the
entire Spanish War.
From the best statistics obtainable,
I NAV say there are to-day $4,000 per-
sons in the United States under SEN
tence of death to be executed at an un-
known moment during the next ten
years-1.1 100 next week and the same
number every week until the ghastly
work is complete. An intelligent ana
earnest effort would procure the re-
prieve of a multitude OF these innocent
victims"

saIton Sea Like Ontario.

According to Louis G. Hill, super
yising engineer of the United States
Reclamation Service for Arizona and
southern California, if the Colorado
river continues to flow into the Salton
sink it will bring into existence body
of water that will be as large as Lake
Ontario. Speaking on the subject he
said:
ALREADY 45O square miles of the
bed of the basin of what was once a
salt sea has been covered by the
water to a depth of sixty feet, and If
the flow continues, 1000 square miles
will be covered to depth of 270 feet.
"As the water has torn down into
the sink, which is 200 feet below the
level of the sea, it has made an ever
deepening ravine, until at present the
water falls from a height of eighty
feet and gives promise of creating a
second Niagara"

Snake Coifed In Bed.

When Mr.. and Mrs. Mord Lincoln
awakened Friday morning at their
home in Milltown, on the Southern
twenty-five miles west of New Albany
they were startled to find a huge
blacksnake coiled at the foot Of the
bed.
Lincoln kicked the reptile to the
floor, and after lively fight managed
to kill 1t by hitting it on the head with
a chair. Mrs. Lincoln was so badly
frightened that she has since been suf
fering from nervous prostration.
The door of the house had been left
open on account of the heat, and II
is supposed the snake glided in from
the yard. and, finding that the foot OF
the bed afforded comfortable quarters
coiled itself there.-Louisville Courier
Journal.

BANKING BY MAIL.
Opportunities Afforded by the Central
Savings Bank of Denver

During the past few years the practice
Of banking by mail has had phenom.
email growth all over the country, es.
pecially in the central West. In Den.
yer, the financial center of large ter
ritory, the Central Savings Bank is
making a specially of this line of bus
mess, to the accommodation and sat
isfaction of a large and constantly
growing list of depositors in Colorado
and adjacent states and territories.
All those who have tried this kind of
banking are pleased with the advan-
tages and security which it affords.
= The Central Savings Bank is one Of
the great and substantial financial in
stitutions of Denver, being the largest
and most important savings bank be-
tween st. Louis and the Pacific coast.
1t has the unstinted confidence of the
business community, and in the num-
ber of it's depositors ranks with the
largest banks in Denver, showing that
it is high in public favor. The growth
of its business is shown by the rapid
growth of it's deposits, which on Oc-
tober 1, 1906, were S2,014 ,126.0S, and
on January 7, 1907, had increased to
S2,372, 1880.
The following table shows its steady
increase in deposits for the past nine
and one-half years:

STAG FOR CONCRETE WORK.
Experiments to Be Made by ths Unt
versity of Colorado.

The Union Pacific Railway Company
has recently submitted to the civil en-
gineering department of the Univer.
sity of Colorado a series of tests to be
made upon Stag from the immense
dumps of the smelters. These tests
will be made with the view of determ-
lining the value of the Stag as substi-
tute in the place of broken rock for
concrete work in culverts, retaining
walls, platforms, and the like.
AS the expense in breaking rock for
use in concrete is large, and this
would be in a large part obviated by
the use of the Stag, the saving would
be great Millions of tons of this
waste lie unused, and if its utility
should be determined for some pur-
pose, the economic Importance would
be considerable.
The object of the experiments
financial economy in the matter of
breaking and transporting the rock.
but of ascertaining the efficiency of
the Stag in its place. Consequently,
tension, compression, and weathering
tests are and will be made, and COM
parisons drawn between the stone of
the Lyons formation and the Stag in
regard to their efficiency as aggre-
gates.
The work is under the direct super
vision of F. w. Doolittle and H. ]. Kes-
ner OF the civil engineering depart
ment of the University and when their
report is made to the railway company
the announcement of the results will
be awaited with interest.

The Dou STAYED.

A young business man of Harlem.
who didn't love dogs, surprised his
wife the other night by bringing home
a disreputable looking, half-starved
mongrel.
Now, it's all right" he told her.
This dog is going to stay here, and l
think when you hear the circum-
stances you won't object About three
blocks away from the house this dog
deliberately stopped in front of me.
The beast looked as if he had not
eaten for days, never had home and
had been kicked and cuffed by nearly
everyone. He looked at me in such
an appealing way that 1 couldn't help
STOPPING down and patting him once
or twice on the head.
Il thought no more about the mat
ter and continued on my way home.
When l had gone block or so ! sud-
denly felt something cold and wet
against my hand, and turning around,
l saw this poor beast, out of gratitude
for my having just patted him on the
head, licking my hand.
after this dog gets a few meals
and wash he will look very different
from the way he looks now. Anyway,
want him to stay"

Or. savase's Eugene Field Story.

The Rev. Minot ]. Savage, on being
introduced to speak before a large
Boston assembly a short time since,
told a story about Eugene Field and
vouched for its truth, because he
heard Seth Low tell it.
Field sat down at q table in a
New York restaurant and presently
was approached by voluble waiter,
who began to rapidly enumerate the
articles upon the menu-"Coffee-tea
chocolate gs-beefsteak-mutton
chop-fshballs-hash'n 'n-beans." etc. Field
looked at him with fixed eye and sol
emn visage, and said with marked de-
liberation: IT want none of these
things. All desire is one orange and
q few kind words"
Now" observed DR.. Savage, 81
don't know as I can bring to you the
flavor of an orange, but I feel sure !
can serve you with few kind words" !"

carneoie,s Partners. the People.

The Review of Reviews prints an
article by Andrew Carnegie, entitled
"My Partners, the People" Carnegie
expresses the belief that millionaire
ought to share his wealth with the
poor, but with the limitation that his
fortune should not be divided before
the millionaire's death. Then the
community should expect a large
share. Carnegie humbly deprecates
the claim of the merely wealthy to
fame. They have no place with the
educated man, and they occupy a
lower plane intellectually. In the
coming day brains will stand above
dollars, and conduct above both.
