STATE ASSESSED
AT S4O0,7OO,OOO
OFFICIAL RETURNS SHOW AN IN
CREASE OF OVER TEN MIL
LIONS IN DENVER.
DOUBLED IN TEN YEARS
FORWARD MOTION IN THE DEvEL-
oPMENT OF THE WEST is
A REVELATION.

Denver.-Exclusive of Hinsdale
county, from which returns have
not been received by the State Board
of equalization, the total assessed val
uation of lands and property in Colo
rado is s4O0,079,171.7S. Hinsdale
county last year reported s624,541, and
II similar assessment is returned this
year the total valuation of the state
will be approximately s400,703, ,712.SS.
This is the first time in the history of
the state that the assessment has ex-
ceeded $400,000,000 In 1899 the total
assessment of the state was $203 1885,
692, which shows that the valuation of
lands and improvements in Colorado
have doubled in ten years.
The assessment is an increase of
twenty-five per cent. over the amount
estimated last year. The greatest m
creases by counties are shown in Den
evr, which added more than S10,000,-
900; Conejos, which added $664 900;
Costilla, S4S5,O00; Garfield, $457 900,
and Gunnison, 1901, 900.
The assessment as whole shows
Colorado to be in the forward motion
toward development and wealth.
These assessments are subject to
the revision of the State Board of
equalization and the commissioners of
each county, but the figures given are
in comparison with those of last year.

TO SAVE LABOR in KITCHEN
Little Things That Will Tighten Work
During the Hot Days of Jelly
Making.

Now that the jelly making season
is at hand a few hints that will make
less work for the housekeeper will
not be amiss. Your jelly bag, of
course, is perfectly clean to start with
After picking over and washing the
fruit put it right into the bag, put the
bag into large kettle and add what
ever amount of water you desire. Boil
1t this way little longer than you
would without the bag. This way of
1oing saves one the awkward task OF
dipping up the hot fruit into the bag
and often scalding ones self in so
doing. When boiled sufficiently the
bag can be lifted out and set in a por-
celain collender on top of the kettle
to drain and left there till the next
day, if necessary. This is all quickly
done and one is saved the trouble of
hanging the bag up to drain, for there
never seems to be any place to hang
it out of the way. Before this plan
suggested itself to me jelly making
was a much harder task, while now
1 do not dread it all. l would say,
however, that l have not tried it for
currants or berries, because those
fruits do not need much water or
boiling, but for green gooseberries,
grapes, rhubarb, or any of the larger
fruits it is an excellent plan.

PAINT DURABILITY.

The first thought in painting should,
of course, be durability-and dura-
bility means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint is pure
white lead and linseed oil with or
without tinting materially.
Some years ago the paint-buyer was
likely to get adulterated or counter
felt white lead if he was not familiar
with brands. Today ne may buy
with perfect safety if he only makes
sure that the Dutch Boy Painter
trademark is on the packages of
white lead that he buys. This trade
mark was adopted by National Lead
Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods.
1t is a guarantee as valuable to the
house-owner as the education of a
paint expert could be.

Marriage and Meanness.

Some years ago there lived in Atch-
ison a young woman noted for her
good works and gentleness. She was
always helping the poor and was pa
tient and kind and universally ad-
mired. She married fairly good man
and abused him within three months.
She had been good and patient for
years, but a husband was too much
for her; she had never been cross to
any one until she was cross to her
husband. There is something about
marriage that stirs up hidden depths
of meanness on both sides.-Atchison
(Kan.) Globe.

When Greeley man who conducts
a fruit stand purchased some tin jew
elry for 80 cents about two weeks ago
from Charles Williams, a negro from
Cheyenne, he did not know he was
receiving $3.50 worth of gold and
gems. This morning Lieutenant
George Mason of Fort Russell ap-
peared, with Marshal Williams, and
laid claim to diamond ring, stick
pin and some other jewelry. Williams
had been arrested in Cheyenne and
had confessed to the theft of the val
uables. The negro was employed by
Lieutenant Mason and departed from
Fort Russell about two weeks ago. He
came to Greeley and while there sold
all of the articles for 80 cents. The
ring. valued at $105, was sold for 5
cents. Lieutenant Mason refunded
the 80 cents and got back his pos
sessions.

Mrs. Capitola Adams, married, di-
vorced, and remarked, though only
twenty-five years old, drank carbolic
acid at her summer home at Colum-
bine Lake, mile and half west of
Grand Lake. She died without ex-
planning the reason for her act. Her
husband, Roy Adams, a salesman and
former stamp clerk in the Denver
postoffice, is said to have nearly lost
his mind, and attempted to take his
own life, when he saw his young wife
of six months die in agony. Mrs. Ad-

Washington. Sept 2.-State depart
ment officials believe II IS of little con-
sequence TO the United States what
lands DR.. Cook has discovered on his
way 10 the north pole, SO far as actual
territorial possession is concerned
1t Is recalled by the department Of
ficials that ever since 1928 American
explorers in both the Arctic and Ant
arctic have discovered vast areas of
of land to which no claims ever were
made. Admiral Wilkes found In the
Antarctic a territory OF more than
100000 square miles In area. and DR..
Kane made large discoveries in the
Arctic, but no effort has been made By
the United States to assert It's rights
TO them.

Gated lands which never before were
known 10 exist.
Many OF the worlds greatest navi-
gators have. from time 10 time. made
their discoveries to which no claim
vas ever made. The principal reason
for this. however, is said to be that
the lands were almost inaccessible and
absolutely of no value.
AS TO the particular territory which
DR.. Cook Is said to have discovered, it
was asserted that it was quite prob
able that these lands would be found
TO be an extension of the main land
of Greenland. and II so, they belong to
Denmark. At any rate, 1t is extremely
improbable, It is said that the United
States would attempt TO assert sover-
eighty over them.
