The Joint Masonic Party.

This season as has been customary
for long period Of years, the So
cial event in Mineral Point was the
Masonic party. It occurred Tuesday
evening of this week and proved an
unlimited success. The term 'joint'
is employed because members of the
various Masonic bodies-the Star, Com
mandery, Chapter and Blue Lodge
join in the effort to make these social
gatherings successful beyond peradven-
ture.
A delicious supper was served as
usual, Walters & Suthers being the
caterers, and nothing that could be pro-
vided at this time Of the year was lack
ing. Two hundred and sixty or more
feasted with a relish and withdrew
from the banquet hall full of praise.
A leading feature of the occasion was
the Marine Harp Orchestra of Baraboo.
During the entertainment period this
musical organization regaled the large
throng with choice classical selections,
and when tickling the eight fantastic
toe" at a later hour drew forth long and
merited applause.
And now the long anticipated Mason
ic party of 1908 is an event of the past,
but one not soon to be forgotten be-
cause of it's highly social and pleasing
characteristics. The Tribune

INVITED TO REPEAT PROGRAM
AT PEN NEXT SUNDAY

The special Easter music given un-
der the direction Of the choir at the
First Presbyterian church Sunday
was one of the most ambitious ever
rendered here on a similar occasion.
An audience of nearly 1900 people
crowded into the church for the pur-
pose of enjoying the program, which
enlisted in its execution many Of the
I1s& voices in the CITY.
A large number of people who de-
sired to hear it were unable to do 80
owing to their inability to get into the
church. The choir has been extended
an invitation by Warden Cleghorn and
Chaplain Blake to repeat the program
in the chapel of that institution next
Sunday afternoon for the benefit OF
the convicts-

HURT IN CONSEQUENCE OF
FALL AT THEATORIUI

Mrs. c. J. Fisher Of North Fourth
street was severely hurt as the result
of an accidental fall at the Theator-
ium at 222 Main street about ten days
ago and has since been in a semi
helpless condition. In company with
her husband she visited the place in
question for the purpose of enjoying
the entertainment program. but in go
ing down towards the front Of the au-
ditorium, which is reached by q series
of abrupt descents, she made mis-
step and fell forward over the row OF
chairs Immediately in front of her,
cutting her face and spraining her left
arm severely.
1t was a most unfortunate affair
and the friends OF the injured woman
deeply sympathize with her in her af-

BUMPER FRUIT CROP
IS ASSURED HERE

All varieties Of fruit trees here are
overloaded with bloom and there is
every indication of a bumper crop of
everything produced in this district.
Nothing but a cold snap with the ther-
mometer showing a temperature of
ten or fifteen degrees below the freez-
ing point or a heavy snowstorm with
protracted cold weather, will seriously
endaneer the fruit crop this year. \
light frost. such as we are likely to
have during the next four or five
weeks, will only thin out the crop and
save the fruit grower the labor of
picking some of 1t OF.
The outlook was never SO encour-
aging for the Colorado horticulturist
as now. and If nothing unexpected
happens there will be plenty of peach
es. pears, plums, cherries, apples, etc.
The apple trees are in the very pink
of condition and have exceptional Wig
or and vitality on account of the rest
they had last year.
The prospect is that the strawberry
crop this season will approximate that
of 1905, which was one of the best
years forsthe production of that class
of fruit known here In a generation.
The outlook is certainly very pleas
ing one for the ranchers of the Can
on City district.

WAS FIRST ADVOCATE
OF ARBOR DAY IN COLORADO

To Eugene Weston of this city iS
due the credit of being the apostle Of
the Arbor Day movement in Colorado.
in fact, Mr.. Weston was one of the
the very first men in the United States
advocate the idea of dedicating one
day every year to the planting of trees
and to the encouragement of the
growth of grass, shrubs and flowers.
His inspiration was the work of the
village improvement societies in New
England, which he elaborated into .
scheme that would embrace the en-
tire country.
At his request and insistence tho
late DR.. T. H. Craven, who was then
president of the village trustees, is
sued a proclamation to the people OF
Canon City setting aside April %, 1875.
as a day for planting shade trees
along the streets and flowers and
shrubs in private property. AS q re-
suit of that proclamation many Of
the big cottonwood trees, which form
erly lined the streets in the older
parts of the city had their origin.
There was very little grass here 80
years ago and precious few shade
trees, indeed, Helen Hunt Jackson.
woh passed through this place one
day generation ago on her way from
Colorado Springs to Rosita described
Canon City as a veritable desert o.
sage brush and desolation.
A great transformation has beea
wrought since then and the good
which has been accomplished has
grown out of the initiative taken BY
Mr. Weston and his associates away
back in the early days of the commun-
ity,

NEWS AND PHILOSOPHY FROM
THE SILVER CLIFF RUSTLER

Mrs. Ed Osburn and the children
came up from Canon Thursday.
When making his departure last
Thursday, c. H. Swanton stopped in
and informed US that he had rendered
his resignation as superintendent OF
the Geyser mine to take a similar po-
sition with the Alvarado Gold Mining
company at Congress Junction. Ariz-
ona. Mr.. Swanton is in Arizona now
but. win return this week.
What constitutes a days work."
We figure out that it depends alto
gether on your occupation. II you
lay brick, seven hours: If you keep
house, sixteen hours; II you are a
porter In a sleeping car, twenty hours; ;
il you serve the government, one hour;
II you are a newspaper man, twenty
three and a half hours.
The idea of having a new frock and
hat for Easter Sunday is not altogeth-
er f1ippant On the contrary 1t Is of
religious origin, an old English rite
requiring that every person should
wear three new articles on that day
and a superstition which declares it
unlucky not to do so.
Prof Turner. who occupies the pull
pit of the Episcopal church here, is
certainly entitled to credit for the inn
provements he has made upon the in
terror of the church property. He is
doing the mechanical work himself
and 1t is told on him that the other
day he was papering a ceiling and in
trying to put pasted strip to its
place. allowed il to settle down over
his head, paste side to his skin, of
course. The dodburned stuff stuck
this time like stratena and the worst
followed when he tussled to free him
self from its grasp upon him and fl
nally. growing bewildered, he sat
square down in pan of paste, and
just to think of it, he had on a brand
new pair of overalls which must be-
come faded and lose some of their
beauty in the hard rubbing necessary
to cleanse them of the paste. Pro-
gress was stopped and damage done.
Hard luck, but our friend was equal
o the occasion and took the mishap
phllosophically.

EASTER THE MOST JOYFUL
SEASON In THE CALENDAR

The Lenten season is over, and the
devout may again enjoy the pleasures
of the flesh. The advent of Easter,
at the same time as the coming of the
pleasantest portion-of- the year. Is
always a joyous occasion. From re-
ligious standpoint it symboffzes the
idea of the resurrection. of the eternal
life, and besides this, it also has a
material significance. It is the great
spring festival.
Easter is older than Christianity,
but it was Christianity that gave to it
its present harmony of ethical. spir-
itual and religious joy on the one hand
and material enjoyment, that sensual
pleasure that comes with the coming
of the spring season on the other
Therefore, almost without exception,
the Easter season is one that ap-
peals to the human kind with greater
force than any other of the years
festivals with the possible exception
OF Christmas.
Spring is the time of gladness, Of
happiness, of color, and despite the
good natured humor that the fact that
Easter time and the period for wear
ing brighter colors are coincident,
provokes. it is a fact that nature and
mankind both seem, just about this
season of the year. naturally to as
sumo their brightest and most pictur-
esque garb. This is the vernal time,
the youth of the year, and the season
when youth is triumphant. when all
of us feel young and are glad to show
it, and If Easter could signify nothing
else, it would be one of the most nota-
BILE of the holidays because of this.

Increase Of Fer Capita Circulation.

Unless you have $1.44 more in your
pocket now than you had this time last
year you have failed to get your share
of the increase in the country's cir
culating medium. Stated another way,
each individual ought to have $35.3s.
as against 1891 on April 1. 1907.
Multiply this seemingly small increase
by S7,140,000. which is the present e.
timated population OF the United
States, and you have the amount add
ed to the total circulation in Agar
$125, 5,4s1 500, which is certainly NO
small gain for a year the latter half
of which has been pretty dull.
The United States now ranks sec
ond among the nations in per capita
circulation. France, where the people
vest it to advantage, stood first in
1904, with $37.13 for every man, wo-
man and child in the country.
The figure is probably considerably
higher now. for the French people are
steadily growing richer. while the
growth of population is almost imper-
ceptible. The Netherlands ranks third
with a circulation of $26.76. The Ger
mans $22.46, while the people of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
ireland have only $17.5S, or about one
half of the American average. Going
around 10 the other side of the world
the per capita circulation of Japan
is only $3.S2, and that of China $1.06.
while India has an average of $3.e6.
The wealth of the United States Is
far greater than that of any other
nation. so much greater that no other
country can compare with it. The
volume of money in circulation is also
far greater. but the population in
creases so fast that the average is kept
down. II our population was as small
as that of France the per capita would
be more than twice as great. instead of
slightly smaller.-Colorado Springs

tween fragrant orchards in full bloom

fruit blossoms displayed the class
colors-green and white.
One OF the lively games was an auc-
ton, most successfully conducted by
a masculine visitor. There was nothing
