COLORADO HAILED
AS WORLD CAPITAL.

What the capital Oh the
world colorado !"
The visitor to the Chicago land
show, hears it on every side. Not
only has Colorado the biggest ex-
hibit in the hall, but the
- boosters " from that state are the
most energetic of all in advertis-
ing their wares. They buttonhole
everybody they can get hold of,
push printed matter into his hand
and pour stories of the wealth OF
Colorado into his ear. They are
everywhere and their enthusiasm
never fags
If one-tenth of the people to
whom we give advertising litera-
ture take home one-tenth of
and read one-tenth of that tenth,
the show will prove a grand sue
cess, so far as Colorado is con
cerned, said II. w. Cooper, edi-
tor of the Morgan County Herald,
with the Morgan county exhibit.
THE Colorado section is attract
ing more attention than that OF
any other state, or two state
And the Coloradoans are workin =
twice as hard as the exhibitors
from the other states.
Colorado is represented in see
tions at the show. The Arkansas
valley has big booth and is
showing the finest product it
raises. This exhibit is one of
the most attractive at the show.
Clarence Lyman is on hand with
his Iona exhibit, which is an ex-
cellent one. At stated intervals
Clarence goes to the lecture room
and talks about fruit lands to the
open-mouthed Chicago and Hi
nois people. When the cheering
dies away he returns to the booth
and, modestly thrusting aside
those who try to congratulate
him, resumes his work of hand
ing out "Oh, Come to Iona
literature.
The San Luis valley is making
great showing. 1t has a big
booth, in which potatoes, apples,
hay, wheat and a hundred other
products are displayed. This eX-
hibit is attracting much favorable
comment. Grand Junction has a
booth of its own and in it is See
retary Mahony Of the commercial
club. To all who tarry in front of
him Secretary Mahony tells of tn
wonders of Grand junction and
its surrounding territory. Grand

a HIGHWAY TO
THE MESA VERDE.

The commercial value of good
roads will soon have striking
illustration in the case of Mesa
Verde National park, in Southern
Colorado. The most wonderful
cliff ruins in the world are
located in Mesa Verde Park, but,
owing to the difficulty of reach
ing the ruins, comparatively few
visitors have gazed upon the cliff
cities where a prehistoric race
dwelt. Visitors have had a day s
travel by wagon and horseback,
after leaving Mancos, the nearest
railroad point. This has kept
down travel to the park, and the
season just closed was one of
the lightest on record in point of
attendance.
Next season, however. should
witness change. The govern
ment is constructing a scenic high
way that will extend from Man
COS to the cliff ruins. This mag
nificent road, which ascends the
Mesa Verde and will give the trav-
eler glimpses into Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona and Utah, will
be one of the finest scenic high
ways in the world. 1t will enable
tourists to reach the cliff ruins
without loss of time, and with
no discomfort The road which
has been pushed well toward com
pletion this season by Superein-
tendent II. NJ. Randolph, of Mesa
Verde National Park, will be fin
ished some time next summer.
1t should result in turning the
attention of thou ;ands of tourists
to the archaeological wonders of
southern Colorado. The rui
Of the three largest cliff houses,
Cliff Palace, Spruce Tree House
and Balcony House, have just
been restored by eminent scientists
They are no longer melanch
heaps of rubbish, but stand forth
much as they must have appeared
when they We're inhabited by the
cliff dwellers. There is nothing
to match them in the world in
point of popular interest. Other
ruins which have been untouched
by scientists, abound in the can
yons that seam the Mesa Verde,
and the entire region which is the
only natural archaeological park
in the world, abounds with in

THE PANAMA CANAL.

TtSlucuI dlL lldS Nlslttu thc
Panama Canal and the press dis
patches say that he is well pleas
ed with the progress. being made.
This being the case it is rea-
sonable to believe that the great
enterprise will be finished accord
ing to schedule in 1915.
Public sentiment has practically
decreed that the completion of
the Canal shall be celebrated with
"A great international exposition,
in which all the nations of the
world may participate; and the
question of where this exposition
shall be held will be settled by
Congress at its approaching ses-
sion.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of
holding this exposition, and both
cities have guaranteed immense
sums of money as an evidence of
their good faith and their ability
to finance so great an enterprise
in manner which will do credit
and honor to our country.
The opening of the Panama
Canal marks supreme epoch in
the history OF mankind. The ca
nal means, first of all, that our
land joins the two oceans and
looks out Janus-faced towards its
risks on both. For exercise of its
rights and the facing OF its perils
it must unite the waters of the
two oceans. 1t is one nation and
its two oceans must become one
highway. Our existence hither-
to has been shapen by our posi-
tion on the Atlantic facing Europe
1t is likely that the coming years
in increasing measure will take
their form and color from our po-
sition on the Pacific facing Asia
When Columbus started across
the seas he was seeking. not A
mcrica, but the old Orient of In
dia and China and their gold and
spices. Men had always desired
the East and the gold and the
pepper. There was nothing new
about the object OF search. All
that was new was the direction.
Columbus went west. Judged in
trirps of its original phrase
his voyage was a total failure. He
started straight for Asia, but
ran upon the long broad dyke of
land we now call America. 1t
has cost more than four centuries
for him and those that swarmed
after him to traverse and conquer
the hindering dyke which arose
III his path and forbade him Asia.
The opening of the canal is the
first cutting of this dyke--the
avenging OF Columbus end
of the four-century halt-the re
sumption OF the advance toward
the Orient
The civilization which we inherit
in which we are Shapen. and made
to be what we are, and to do what
we do, had its origin in the valley
of the Euphrates and the Nile
and on the hillsides of Syria and
Greece. With its back turned to-
ward the Old Orient of India and
China, it pushed its way west
ward around the globe. 1t passed
from Greece to Rome. to Spain
and France and Germany, to Eng
land and to America across the
seas. The opening of the Cana
means that it has entered the Pa
cific: and this is the arena In
which the two world-halves, the
Orient and the Occident, are tC
stand, no longer back to back
but face to face, and no man can
foresee the issue thereof. But
every man who sees and thinks
can know that with the opening
of the Canal the history of the hu
man races passes to its last anc
final phase

Manager Brooks swore out warrant
against the man. charging him with
embezzling 1856 Costello disappeared
with $1,000, but the rest of the money
was In checks. and payment on them
was stopped when 1t was learned that
he had probably left the city.
The information as to costello's
supposed whereabouts was received
both by the detectives and Manager
Brooks, Of the company. Captain Me-
Mohon notified Nh Brooks, and the
warrant resulted Almost Immediately
after kilograms were sen. to the au-
thorities of Baltimore and other cities
asking them to look out for Costello
and TO arrest him on sight and hold
him for the Richmond authorities.
II IS believed. however, that Costello
has left Baltimore, but the search
WILL be closely followed, and every
effort will be made to apprehend the
alleged ahscondlng cashier and bring
hin TO trial here.
Costello's books have been examined.
and they are said TO show no dis
crepancy, though there IS some small
cash still unaccoonted for.
Why he should have disappeared SO
suddenly and with such a small
amount Of ready cash, when no could
have gotten several thousands with
little trouble, is the chief mystery.
Costello disappeared to-day a week
ago. When, after considerable
lapse of time. he failed to return to
his office Manager Brooks still In
doubt whether the cashier had taken
French leave, and still inclined to be-
lieve in his honesty, informed the de-
tectlve department and asked that u
quiet search be maze in Richmond to
see If some trace of the man could
be found. He was unwilling then to
swear out a warrant, as he wished not
to place Costello in an embarrassing
position in the event that he should
reappear and give a satisfactory ac-
count of of his absence He kept the
matter quiet as long as possible ana
yesterday. relinquishing all hope that
the cashier would return. he sworc
out the warrant and asked the police
to take UP the case officially.

FORTY YEARS SINCE
CAPITOL DISASTER
Many Richmonders Remember
Catastrophe Which Startled
the World.

Forty years ago yesterday happen
ed the famous Capitol disaster, which
killed sixty-four people, some of them
the most prominent in the Old Domin-
ion. On April 81, 1870, at ! ! o'clock
in the morning, the courtroom tloor
.tf the Court of Appeals gave way I'M
der the weight of a tremendous crowd
and crashed into the hall OF the House
of Delegates below. Sixty-four men
We're killed, and many moro were in
iured, more or less seriously. The
whole State was powerfully stirred by
the catastrophe. There were few
communities that did not feel the
blow. In this city. where the loss
was greatest, every activity was tenn
porarily paralyZed.
The crowd had assembled to hear
the decision in the famous Ellyson-
Cahoon case in the contest for the
mayoralty of Richmond. There We're
400 people on the tloor. Those who
We're unhurt Or slightly injured es-
capped through clouds of dust and piles
of debris. The fire department was
summoned to rescue the wounded
Some Of The dead were buried beneath
hundreds OF pounds of plaster and
masonry. Others We're killed by being
struck and pinned down by heavy
timbeis.

death, When the casualty occurred he
was sitting on the arm Of a chair
near the centre of the courtroom

remarkable escape. He was standing
close to one OF the windows with his
