A Stack
Of Dollars


Small debts accumulate rapid
ly. Small savings do likewise
the man who starts either to
save or spend is surprised at
the result. Spending every-
thing means continual worry,
perhaps mountain of debt.
Saving, putting by little each
week, means a stack of dollars
and that comfortable feeling.
Which are you doing? Let's
hope you have elected to save
in the future, if not in the past.

Death Claims Founder of Colo=
rado Springs and Rail-
road Builder

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. March
13.-General William J. Palmer. found
er of Colorado Springs, died at his
country seat, Glen Eyre, this afternoon.

Palmer has often been called the fore
most citizen of Colorado. He leaves an
estate valued at SIS, 100000.
General Palmer was distinguished
as a soldier in the civil war. but his
greatest fame came as railroad build
er. Immediately upon being mustered
out of the service in the summer 9f
1865, General Palmer, at the request
Of John Edgar Thompson, Thomas a.
Scott and other Pennsylvania railroad
friends, was elected secretary and
treasurer of the Kansas Pacific rail-
road company, whose road was then
the Union Pacific eastern division. 1t
was his connection with that road
which brought him into Colorado. and
resulted in his long and conspicuous
identification with the development of
the resources of this state and with its
upbuilding.
Besides General Palmers connection
with the building of the Kansas Pa
cific railroad to Denver in 1S69-70, and
the completion of the Denver Pacific

yer and Rio Grande system until Au-
gust. 1888. when he resigned to give

prise in Mexico, the Mexican National
railroad, but he continued to be presi-
dent of the Rio Grande Western road
