some elephants, and the hunting is said
to be very good. Higher still the
vegetation changes and becomes more
like that of the temperate zone. Al
the altitude of Pixies Peak it ceases
entirely, and from thence on the per-
! petual snow begins.
| The topmost peak, known as Kibo, is
! always snow covered. This was first
assembled by Hans Meyer in 1889. He
! says that it has a crater more than a
mile in circumference, and over 600
| feet deep, the walls of which are COW

THE PORT OF TANGA.
I wish I could show you this little
African town of Tanga. It lies here on
! the seacoast just opposite the close is
land of Pemba, which belongs to Great
Britain. It is in German East Africa,
few miles below the Umba river,
which is part of the boundary between
this country and the British East At
RIGA. Tt lies at one of the mouths of
the Pangani river, which rises on the
slopes of Kilimanjaro and carries away
the greater part of its SHOWS.
The coast here is low and tropical,
and the vegetation is so dense that the
mountains can not be seen. Indeed,
there are no hills anywhere, and the
eye wanders over cocoanut palms load
ed with nuts and grass lands spotted
here and there with fat baobab trees,
whose ske1eton-Ii branches reach out
like great white fingers, clutching the
air.
Tanga has a beautiful harbor. The
mouth of the river is such that it
forms bay of thousands of acres, well
protected from the storms of the In.
dian ocean At the entrance TO the
bay is a point on which stands white
lighthouse, and farther inland is a big
whfte-wal1ed, red-roofed hospital of
two stories. At the end of the bay the
buildings of the city begin. They are
composed of European structures and
matched rooted huts, which are the
homes of the Hindoo merchants of the
Swahill natives.
GERMAN SETTLEMENT
The town has a bona or fort, and
large iron shed, which serves mas a
native market. 1t mas a postoffice like
those of Deutschland government
buildings of various kinds. There is a
two-story hotel with a roofgarden up
on it and wide verandas running around
it. There is a public school where the
pupils are black boys with shaved
heads They study their lessons under
the pictures of the kaiser and kaiserin,
which look down from the walls. AS

animal was larger than the ordinary

There are many zebras in the in
terror of Geman East Africa, and they
are often shot and eaten by the hunt
ers.
AS to hunting, this country promises
to be more popular than British East
Africa, which is generally known as
the land of big game German East
Africa is part of the same plateau,
and there are regions in it which
swarm with antelopes, zebras and other
game beasts. There are many lions
and leopards, as well as elephants, hip
potamuses and rhinoceroses. At pre-
sent it costs $3.50 for the right to shoot
big game in the British possessions.
The Germans issue licenses to shoot for
So or 81 each, but they require small
royalty to the government on each
head of game killed. The high rates
are driving the sportsmen out of the
lands north of here, and eventually the
Germans will have the greater part of
that travel.

other tribes who engage in farming,

From Tuesdays Daily Post.
There is weeping and wailine
and gnashing of teeth among the
Democratic hosts in Glenwood
today because it has transpireo
that the fellows who imagined
they were candidates for munic-
ipal Offices are in reality not can
didates at all, but just plain,
common bankers, druggists, etc,
etc. They have for the past
three weeks been reveling in the
thought that they would soon
control the business and official
doings of the town of Glenwood
Springs. This afternoon they re
alize all their careful plannin :
has been for naught and that they
have agitated their limited guam
tity of gray matter to no pui-
pose.
Well, it came about in this
way The law relative to ele.-
tions is very plain and requires
that each person nominated to
office shall file with the proper
officers the certificate of his nom
nation and further that he shall
file within five days of the fling
of such certificate a written ac-
ceptance of such nomination and
that the failure to file such accept
ance shall be considered equiv
alent to declination.
This is the situation at the
present time. The Democrats
nominated ticket ny petitions
and filed with the town clerk a
certificate of such nomination,
but the candidates, Messrs.
Drach, Barnes. Cardnell and Bar
low failing to file their accept

ances within five days thereafter,
vacancies existed in all these Of
fees and the Democratic commit
tee on vacancies, if any such
committee existed, has failed ia
fill said vacancies, therefore there
is no Democratic ticket in the
field.
Town Clerk Keck, when seen
this afternoon, said that he had
no discretion in the matter, as
the law is very plain on the sub
ject. The law governing such
matters is printed at the head Of
this article. From this it is plain
that there has been a vacancy. iii
the Democratic ticket or nomina-
ton ever since five days after the
fling of the Democratic certifi-
cate of nomination. Now since
the committee on vacancies failed
to fill this vacancy eight days be-
fore election it naturally follows
that the Democratic nominees
have no legal standing or place
on the ticket. Mr.. Keck has de
cided to recognize the Democrat
ic name, and unless there is some
further order the official ballot
will be printed in today's
Daily Post.
The Democrats are greatly cha
grined at the thought of their
stupidity and this afternoon ten
dered nominations made by their
committee and these Mr.. KecK
was obliged to refuse. They then
sent for Judge Shumate, it being
their intention to ask for a writ
of mandamus to compel Mr.. KecI>
to certify the Democratic nom
inees on the official ballot.

mately would be discovered in the

made. and said the proper inqui-
ries should be directed by the
government in Colorado and 9th

that millions of dollars would he
added to the wealth of the cOun-
try if such a project were carried
out. Mr.. Walsh said a bureau of
mines would be of great help to
metal mines and should be estab-
iished. Mines that have large
humps containing valuable ores
would be greatly benefited
through a system Of government
experiments and assays of such
