Shutting Down Saloons.

Denver.-A Boulder dispatch says:
The county commissioners, true to
their determination to wipe out all
liquor saloons in this country, which
secure licenses from the commission
ers, today refused to renew the license
for the one saloon at the new coal min
ing camp of Sunnyside, between Louis
vile and Louisville Junction In this
case it was shown that the saloon
keeper had, at various times, sold
liquor to minors. There are less than
half a iozen saloon licenses left in
this county, which are under the con-
troll of the county commissioners, and
all will soon share the same fate.

Rushing Montezuma Canal.

Denver.-A Cortez, Colorado, dis
patch says: Work on the Montezuma
valley irrigating system is being
pushed rapidly ana a full supply of
water is assured for this season. New
camps Of the contractors are being es-
tabished over the valley and men are
being added daily. The weather. which
has not been favorable for this work,
is now breaking. The frost has al
most left the ground SO that more pro-
gress may be made. This is one Of the
largest irrigating schemes in the West
and means much for Colorado, as 1t
waters one of the largest bodies of
fruit and agricultural land in the state.

Portuguese Royal Funeral.
Lsbon.-With church bells tollining
continually, the bodies of the murdered
king and crown prince, in two golden
chariots shrouded in black velvet and
drawn by eight hooded horses, were
escorted by glittering funeral page
ant SATURDAY. across Lisbon to the Por-
tuguese pantheon and laid at rest be-
sides their ancestors Of the Braganza
dynasty.
Seven hours elapsed from the time
the foreign princes and special ambas-
sadors Of all the powers gathered at
the palace for the ceremony there, un-
til three salutes OF twenty-one guns, re-
verberating over the terraced and sun
bathed hills and answered by the Brit
ish warships in the harbor announced
that the last rites were over.
Not single untoward incident
marred the last act of Portugals trag-
edy. The vague forebodings proved
baseless, and there is a general feel
ing of relief that all passed well in
view Of the political turmoil.
The Duke of Connaught, Prince
Eitel Frederick and Infante Fernando
In addition to verbal condolences, pre-
sented personal letters from their SOW
ereigns to the King, who was greatly
touched at these messages. Tears
that were almost constantly in his eyes
several times over1owed.
When the members OF the court and
the special representatives Of foreign
countries entered the chapel for the
last brief service the King remained
behind. Neither he nor the two queens
followed the cortege to the church.

His left thigh was dislocated and the
right shoulder severely bruised, but no
bones were broken.
The Pueblo postoffice officials have
received information that the only
rural route in the United States which
doubles back on itself Is to be estab-
lished out of Pueblo, running east
along the Arkansas river. The govern
ment has heretofore not established
routes unless the carriers go one way
and return another. The large number
OF people to be accommodated on the
twelye-mile route caused the change in
this case.
An examination has been announced
to be held by the United States civil
service commission at Denver, Grand

have been fought out In the courts.
and that neither the Ex-Governor or
the present administration are en-
titled TO any credit for such CON-

lawyer also voiced the sentiment OF a

Az an instance OF the value Of news
paper advertising to increase or'force
trade, the following facts are remark
able. During December the orders
received by the Douglas Boot and
shoe Company Of Brockton, Mass, fen
on IN consequence Of the business de.
precision following the panic. The adj
yertising manager Of that large con-
Germ mentioned the matter to Cover
nor Douglas and asked his advice,
whether under the circumstances they
should place the usual amount OF ad.
vertlsing during January and Febru-
AIRY, which are usually the slowest
months In the year In the shoe busi-
ness. = Governor Douglas at once
ordered an increase OF 30 per cent in
the amount appropriated for advertis-
ing, declaring that such an increase
would help to overcome the unfayor-
able business outlook. There was con-
siderable skepticism about the result
eamong the principle employees Of the
Douglas company. But the result
showed almost an immediate improve
ment in business. which is now aver
aging more than last year during these
Unusually dull months.
Thus the business sagacity OF Gov
ernor Douglas has OVERCOME the hard
times, and his optimism has proven
an antidote to the Republican panic.
The advertising manager Of Cover
nor Douglas explains the phenomenon
Of increased sales. when BY ali the
rules Of business there should have
been a decrease, asTentirely produced
by the increased advertising. Other
advertisers Of shoes were drawing in
their horns and many Of their former
customers were induced TO patronize
the Douglas Shoe Company because II
was more than ever brought to their
notice.
Persistent advertising pays, for last
year nearly 5000 newspapers carried
the Douglas advertisement, and the
proAts OF the business we're larger
than ever.
