COLORADO IS PROSPEROUS

Let Il wave of depression sweep over
the country and the banker is among
the first to feel the effects. Let a
wave of prosperity come along and
the banker is jus: as quick in motto
ing the increase in business
During the past few days, the Sta:e
Bankers Assn. held Il meeting in Den
yer and while there, thirty-one of the
bankers from as many counties, re
ported on the business conditions and
future outlook. Never before in the
history of the state has so glowing n
report been sem. out. 1t was the story
of every one of the thirty one counties
going forward with every prospect of
banner year ahead.
What more convincing proof can the
eastern investor ask than is to be
found in the reports of the bankers?
If every paper in the state will print
the carious reports and send copies TO
the east, Colorado should soon be so
firmly fixed in the eastern investors
eey that he would come west and find
home for his money.

WAR VESSELS CHEAPER HERE

An official of the navy department is
authority for the statement that bat
leship can he completed in this country
at cost a trifle less than that of a
British or German battleship says a
Washington letter to the Boston Trans
cript Merchant ships can be construct
ed so much cheaper abroad than here
that nobody builds them in this coun-
try, and consequently there is appar-
entity no American merchant marine.
The difference in the cost of warship
construction is due to the low rates oh
tained by our government for armor.
The armor plate for the Arkansas and
Wyoming, the two 26,00O-ton vessels
just contracted for, will cost the gov
ernment about $400 ton. There will
be nearly 5000 tons of this material
used. For practically the same armor
the British government is charged
5000 ton.
An international trust regulates the
cost of armor plate. About 10 years
ago congress became aroused by the
exorbitant prices for armor exacted b.
the manufacturers here, had an investi
CATION, established limit of 5000 a
ton and threatened to build govern
ment armor factory. This gave the
trust such a fright that there has been
no attempt since to gOuge the govern
ment. The limit of $500 ton was
afterward removed because Of the
adoption of more expensive process
of hardening steel.
Tho price has gradually been raised
to $400 ton, although England is just
now paying 5000 for practically the
same material The steel for the hull
and other portions of battleship cost
considerably more here than in Europe,
but the saving figured on armor is suf-
ficient to make the total cost less than
that Of European battleships.

GLENWOOD is certainly getting
her share of advertising these days r
First it was Congressman Taylor whsN
startled the Washington natives by
sending in bill TO establish a summer
home for the president at this place.
Taylor and Glenwood were given sto-
ries III every paper of any consequence
in the whole United States. Then n
number of eastern parties have started
from here on bear hunts that have re-
suited with more success than usual.
All of these hunts were spoken of by
leading papers and Glenwood was al
ways mentioned, even if the bears
were not killed back of Hotel Colorado.
Our Strawberry Day was featured in
cartoons and long stories by every
state paper, thus adding to the lump of
advertising that we received free of
all cos. In addition, the city is al
most ready to send out 10000 more lit
tie folders telling the people of what
they can find here in the way of at
fractions. Our ball team is Just round
ing into form and before the end of
the season will be recognized as being
the best team in the state and thus tine
sporting world will hear of Glenwood
A visit from w. j. Bryan is expected
in August or the first of September,
and wherever leader of men takes
rest, newspaper men will flock and
stories will again float over the coun-
try from Glenwood. Well. after all,
Glenwood is the best place on earth fer
a summer vacation. Just pass the wo11ks
along to your eastern neighbor an
urge him to come west and have
breath Of cool air and drink Of pure
mountain water or dose Of mineral
water.

BRYAN AND THE SENATE

1t is reported on seemingly good an
tharity that Mr.. w J Bryan, the same
who has three times been candidate
for president, is grooming himself to
succeed Senator Burkett of Nebraska,
whose term expires March 3, 1911. The
Nebraska primaries will determine who
is to be the democratic candidate, and
of course Bryan will have n walkaway.
1t is by no means so certain that the
next senator from Nebraska will be a
democrat Senator Burkett is not much
of statesman, but he is an oleaginous
politician with a wonderful knack of
keeping in close touch with his con-
stituents. 1t is not at all Improbable
that Nebraska will have recovered its
sanity before the next election and
gone back TO the republican camp, and
in. that event the net senator will not
be Mr.. Bryan, but Burkett or some
other republican.
The possibility of Bryan in the sen
ate opens up an interesting field of con-
lecture. In the first place, it should
be remembered that for man who
aspires to the presidency the senate is
political graveyard. Just as a man
who has political ambitions of any
sort steers clear of the vice presidency,
so does one who aims at the White
House avoid the senate. General Gar
was nominated for the presidency be
fore taking his seat, so his case does
not count. General Harrson's term
in the senate expired in March, 1887,
and he was defeated for reelection. If
he had been chosen for another term
in the senate the chances are that he
never would have been nominated for
the presidency.
With this hoodoo before him Mr..
Bryan is taking long chance in seek
ing seat in the upper branch of con-
gress, unless he has abandoned his
perennial and supposedly perpetual am
bition to be the democratic presidential
candidate every four years until his
death. Possibly he has in mind
Mr.. Rooscvelt's IS feat of smashing the
tradition which declares that no man
shall be elected to the presidency after
having succeeded to that position from
the vice presidency. But although M.
Bryan is something of tradition smash
er himself it is well to recall that the
results have never been attended by
success, rs in the ease with Mr.. Roose.
welt. Bryan is the only man who has
three times been chosen as the stand
ard bearer of one of the great political
parties, and likewise he is the only man
who has three times suffered crushing
defeat. Roosevelt is probably the
luckiest man who ever played . con-
spicuous part in American politics,
while Bryan is unlucky, except insofsr

GRAND VALLEY FRUIT DAY

1t is not necessary to remind the gen
tlemen who were last year connected
with the Tri-County fair at this place
that if it had not been for the fruit
display from Grand Valley we would
have presented a sorry sight to the
visitors who journeyed to the display
hall to see the products of Garfield
county OF course, the fair committee
was assured by nearly one hundred
ranchers and fruit men that they
would have exhibits, but when the big
doors We're thrown open the exhibits
were not on hand. The committee dill
its part, but the ranchers and fruit men
did not come up with the goods.
But Grand Valley held her fruit day,
jus. one day before the opening of the
Tri- County fair, and the same evening
Glenwood received one of the finest
fruit displays that was ever shown in
this city. The display came from
Grand Valley where it had been viewed
by several thousand people. 1t was
still in first-class shape and remained
so until the end of our fair, when it
was sold to Glenwood parties. 1t had
served its purpose and had given Grand
Valley good bit of advertising that
in the future will land homeseekers in
that section.
This year, Grand Valley people have
decided to hold their big fruit day on
September 18th. The Tri-County fair
Grand Valley News and Mayor Hurl-
burt of Grand Valley think Glenwood
is giving them the worst of the deal.
OF course, the people of Glenwood have
nothing whatever to do with the date
of the Tri-County fair. They are not
in charge of the affair and have no say
in the matter. But we believe the
claims of the Grand Valley News is a
just one. The News says:
"Over one hundred of our people
left here Saturday for the Strawberry
day festivities at Glenwood, and at !he
suggestion of Mayor Hurlburt, they
wore badges inviting the Glenwood
people here for our festival on the 18TH
of Seu.ember. The Glenwood people
should make their Tri- County Fair on
September 10th instead of the 18th, in
order to give their people chance to
attend our festival and see our fruit
day. The fruit could then be shipped
to Glenwood and be displayed and our
people could also go to Glenwood for
the Tri-Cunty fair on the 18th. This
is very good idea of the mayor, WIN,
by the way, is president of our Citi-
zens' Association.
1t is to be hoped that the fair man
agement will see the Justice of the
Grand Valley claim and, if possible, ar
range to open as requested above
Grand Valley has ever stood by Glen
wood and sent large numbers to our va
rious fete days and now that we have
the chance to show that their visits are
appreciated, we should comply with
their request.
On the other hand, the Tri-County
fair must have the fruit display from
Grand Valley, for without it tie fair

w. o. Gilbert Says JOsIyn Got Title
Through Trial which was .'Farce

les HEAR GRAVE CHARGE

The Joslyn Castle fight Is now on in
district court. Three judges Of tho dis
trict court, attorneys of national and
statewide eminence, the multi-million-
aire defendant and his comparatively youth
ful opponents were ssembied in the court
room TO take part in a legal battle for a
five acre tract on which is situated a
residence worth several hundred thousand
dollars, the snd itself being valued at as
much more,
This suit" said w. Q. Gilbert, attorney
for plaintiff, addressing Judges Troup.
Sears and Estelle. who are hearing the case
together, this former suit Of Is93.-by
which Joslyn got title was a worked UP
affair. 1t was not IN honest suit. 1t
does not represent a true condition of facts.
but a fictitious condition built up for the
purpose of this ~suit-built up for the pur-
pose Of divesting these minors OF their
rights-built up 10 deceive the court.
1T was not a trial in fact. 1t was a
farce a fraud, a fraud upon this court,
a fraud upon the minor children.
Before the contract between Charles d.
sStphen and George A. Joslyn was made,
this scheme was Matched and made up as
to the method Of transferring the property
that this old suit could be put in this form. q"
Shall Prove Some Fraud.
Il shall prove some actual fraud, / ex-
pect TO prove considerable, but beyond
peradventure I shall show constructive
fraud, recognized by courts as being equiv
alent in effect to actual intended fraud"
Mr.. Gilbert rehearsed briefly the facts
which have led up to the present suit.
These included the will Of Emily Sutphen
bequeathing half her property to her hus-
band, Dewitt Charles Sutphan, and half to
her son, Charles Dewitt Sutphen. TIE
later Is the father Of Clinton Joy sutphen
and Mrs Gladys K%iplinger. Clinton Joy
Sutphen is the plaintiff against Joslyn in
the case now at issue. The attorney referred
to the meetings between c. ID. Sutphen and
Joslyn, and the sale to the latter OF the
property and the alleged deal by which
sutphen was to sue Joslyn for payment
OF money for the tract decided. This led
up to the lawsuit by Mr.. Estabrook In be-
half Of Mr.. Joslyn. The children OF Mrs.
Emily spphen, it should be added, had
an interest in the property, because It was
left to husband and son with remainder
10 their respective heirs.
First Of all former Judge ]. H. Macon

CURED by Mr.. Estabrook and the further
assertion that Mr.. Day did not try very
hard to protect the children.
Then Judge Macomber testified that he
was the attorney OF record for Joslyn IN
the suit Of 1898; that he did not see JOS
lyn's cross bill and answer until Mr.. Esta-
brook brought it into him, and that he
then signed it.
He attended the hearing, but did not
argue the case. There were present only

porter. The defense In the cross bill, con-
tinued Judge Macomber, was the rule in
Shelley's case. He himself did not know
then what the court would thipk Of this
rule, but for his own part regarded It as
nonsensical." The defense did not care to
c-ross-examine and this ended the session.
