Special Edition.

The NEWSPAPER has under
taken the publication of an H.
lustrated Homeseeker's edition
and the same will appear about
May 18th. To make OF it all
that could be wished we have Sc
cured the services of James
Phelan Cuddy. a special writer of
acknowledged ability. He will
call on our people most any time
now and for him we bespeak the
attention which his work deserves.
Paonia is the best fruit region in
Colorado without exception and
Mr.. Cuddy may be expected to
do the subject full justice.
In next weeks issue we will
more fully set out the scope of
the enterprise and the objects to
be attained.

On returning from a sixty days
sojourn in Denver we are sur
prised at the many changes and
improvements that have taken
place. First and possibly most
important in the building line is
the breaking of ground for the
new $4,000 brick block on
Grande Avenue. Then the reno
vation of the Hammond building
next door to Welborn's drug
store into a beautiful home for
the Gayety theatre attracts ones
attention. McClenathan's store
is fixed up on the inside so that
one would hardly recognize the
place. Out east in town Geo.
Zaun's new residence is about
completed. A dozen other resi-
dences are in more or less ad-
vancd stage of construction. DIR.
Hazlett has the old Grand room
ing house transformed into nice
commodious residence. Prepara-
tions are being made tor two
large additions to existing store
rooms on Grande Ave. Oh. we
guess Paonia is going some when
sixty days absence surprises a
regular resident.

There is reason to believe that Mr..
Roosevelt is in Africa carrying out in
a general way the program which was
announced before he departed with his
scientific associates. II is TO be hop
ed, however that no intelligent Amer
lean reader will for a moment suppose
that we are having authentic reports
from day to day of Mr.. Roseevelt's
movements and adventures There was
Just one thing that Mr.. Roosevelt ask
ed of the American press before his
departure, and that was that he be al
lowed as a private citizen to proceed
with his African plans without being
followed, spied upon, or reported. Ali
newspaper men know that the lurid
tales which have been daily served up
and which have chronicled with much
detail the slaughtering Of countless
lions. tigers. rhinos, hippos, and other
beasts, of both sexes and all ages
are sheer inventions. Never were fakes
more transparent or more impudeni.
Mr.. Roosevelt's hunting is far away
from the shaded haunts of the gentle
men Of the press who prepare these
daily romances, and nobody knows
that this is true so well as do the man
eBeIS OF our respected newspapers VINO
