$500 Tourist Rate.

Tourist travel to Colorado will be
stimulated as it never was be-
fore If the efforts now under way to
secure a $25 round-trip tourist rate
from Chicago and other points that
are on the same rate-making basis
in the jurisdiction of the Western
Passenger Association to Colorado
common points prove successful.
The movement is the most concert
ed in this connection ever attempted
in this state. The big convention call
ed for this purpose by Governor
John F. Shafroth. to meet in the
state capitol November 10, is expect
ed to bring the results desired.
What Colorado needs at this time
more than anything else is new set
tiers, and it is conservatively esti-
mated that ten per cent of the tour
lists who come to Colorado each year
locate in this state permanently.
Therefore, it follows naturally that
any movement that will result in in
creased tourist travel to Colorado
must increase the number Of settlers
annually. Furthermore. Colorado gains
new residents from the large army
of tourist who come here each
summer merely as sightseers. These
people do not come here at first with
| the avowed intention of remaining,
| as is the case with the ten per cent.
previously referred to, but they see
opportunities after they arrive that
were not presented to them before
they started on their vacation trip,
| and after they return home they
make up their minds to come back
| and locate. Statistics in this connec-
ton are difficult to obtain owing to
the absence of any possible method
Of keeping complete record, but it
is known that the percentage is large
The present tourist rate to Colora-
do from the points mentioned is $50.
"A reduction of $5 is an important
item, for the reason that in all COM
munities the desire to travel is in
herent in the Inhabitants, and when
ever rate is lowered it has the ef-
feet Of concentrating the minds of
these same inhabitants upon this de-
sire to travel, with the result that a
large number of them find some
means Of making it possible to take
trip"
The call for the convention in Den
yer recognizes every section Of the
state. Each town of 1000 inhabitants
or over is entitled to send three dele
gates to the convention. appointment
to be made by the mayor, and each
commercial organization in these
towns is entitled to send three repre-
sentatives. In addition, each board
of county commissioners in the state
may send one representative.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 13-Rev. Herman J Golfer, president of Con- zaga College of Spokane has been selected as provincial of the new pro- vince of the Jesuit order, with juris- diction over 26 colleges and residences in southern California, Alaska, Wash ington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, North Dakota and Wyoming, with headquarters at Portland. The district is the largest province in America. He will be succeeded as head of the college here by Rev. L. Taelman, who has been active in the northwest for years.
 The elevation of Father Golfer marks the retirement of the Very Rev. George de la Motto, who has been superior of the Jesuits in the northwest for nine years. When the Rocky mountain and California mis- sions were merged, two years ago, Father de la Motte, who had been superior of the Rocky mountain mis- sion for seven years, was chosen super for oI the consolidated missions. Father de la Motte goes to St. Igna- titus mission, in Montana. where he will succeed Father raelman.
 Father Golfer was ordained at Woodstock, Md, by Cardinal Gibbons in 1899, while Father Taelman was ordained at St. Aloysius church in Spokane by Bishop Edward John O'Daa, bishop of Seattle, in 1898. Both have been closely identified with the expansion Of Catholicism in the northwest. Many years have been spent by each in teaching, both hay ing been chosen to teach members ol the Jesuit order making their studies, which is considered a high honor. Father Taelman speaks nine langu- ages.

After looking at the Beatson mine and other properties in that sec- tion he will return here and examine the proprety of the Cordova-Tacoma Copper company, as well as other promising prospects. What the shelter man is after is ores to serve for hux- ing purposes. If he can secure these it will make the cost of reduction very low to the operators. In fact, where ore can be used to good advantage in treating other metals, it is likely no charge whatever will be made to the operator. Several promising mines on the coast at the present time are not shipping owing to the fact that it costs them too much to get the pro- duct treated. -Cordova North Star.
