Dear Sir:
I received your letter today and
will reply at once. We certainly will
be glad to assist Rio Blanco county
in every way In forming a county
wide organization such as the Mesa
County Business Association, for we
believe that 1t is the proper method
Of pushing country forward. It ia
my opinion that thousands Of dollars
are wasted every year by commune
ties which expend their efforts in
rivaling or attempting to rival each
other, when they might just as we'll
cooperate and work towards the one
end.
have been with this organisation
but two months, and much of the
hardest work had already been ac-
complishsd -hafora I I.csms.-nAmsly
that Of organisation, although n we
become better known and the people
learn what we are doing, flnd 1t less
diflicult to secure new members and
more funds.
1t does not seem to me to require
argument to convince anyone that
Rio Blanco county, just rs any other
new and undeveloped country needs
such an organization as you propose.
In q country like yours, where the
communities are all small, 1t would
be exceedingly difficnlt to secure
enough support for commercial or
eanisations, while county associa-
tion drawing its support from the en-
tire county could be more readily
kept up.
Our organization is new, but In my
opinion 1t has accomplished more
than enough to justify the promises
Of the enthusiasts, h. G.. McMullen
and others, who were responsible for
its existence. It's greatest work In
my opinion, is the strides 1t has made
in eliminating the little sectional
jealousies which in the past have
tended to retard the development of
the county IS whole, and also Of
the individual communities. The

Several good thoughts are devel-
oped from the foregoing letter, chief
Of which is PUBLICITY. Ofthis there
Is great need,-and our people are be-
ginning to recognize its need.
Another important suggestion is
for HARMONY. Petty jealousies and
selfish desires have no power toward
the upbuilding Of q community. On
the contrary, they retard progress.
The man who thinks only Of his own
interests and allows self-interest to
direct his thoughts and actions on
matters Of community interests Is
not good citizen, and unworthy any
such position as q would give him an
opportunity to place any impeachment
In the path of those progressively
active.
A knocker is . pest. In the COM
munity In which he exists he is a
plague as dangerous to the welfare Of
that community rs is ravaging
pestilence Of disease to the health of
its people.
1t Is true that we all are more or
less self centered In both thought
and action. That is human nature.
But again, 1t is incumbent on us to
do our duties as good citizens,-and
this duty we perform only by doing
unto others as we would have them
do unto u.s.
Let us all join hand in hand and
mingle thought with thought and, ac-
tion with action In one grand, har-
moneous effort to put Meeker and
Rio Blanco county in its rightful
sphere In the affairs of this great
state and glorious nation.
Plans are already under way for
the formation of an association which
will be like unto the Mesa County
Business association, and announce
ment of same will be made In the
very near future.

thing your organization should take
up In my opinion is the question Of
railroad transportation-then boost
to bring in tourists for hunting and

for legitimate boosting.

FIGHT OVER CENSUS
RETURNS ON ALREADY
Denver Claims 25,ooo People More
More Than the Official Returns
Will Give.

Denver, Colo, April 27,-And now
comes Postmaster Paul j. Sours to
take issue with Supervisor A. B. Nc
Gaffey of the census bureau in his es-
innate that the population of Denver
is not more than 100000.
Postmaster Sours believes that the
population of Denver is about $4,000
and he bases his estimate upon the
number of persons served by mail car
riers from the Denver postoffice. He
has just completed report which he
makes annually for the postoffice de-
partment at Washington showing that
$4,000 persons are served by carriers
in Denver. He estimates that there
are close to 10000 persons in the city
not included in this report, which
would bring the population up to 1885,
900.
w. F. R. Mills, secretary of the
chamber of commerce census bureau
has completed his lists and has turned
them over to Supervisor McGaffey for
checking. These lists show the popu-
lation of the city to be above 100000.
Supervisor McGaffey will have the
official enumerators working under
him to check their lists for every
house in the city against the lists
turned over by Mills.

WORK NEARING THE FINISH
By Saturday Evening Returns

Secretary G. A. Fleming of the Las
Vegas Commercial Club is very active
in seeing to it that Las Vegas and
East Las Vegas are given a correct
census. Postmaster F. o. Blood is as
sisting him in every possible way and
yesterday blanks were distributed by
them in every domicile in and about
Las Vegas including printed card to
be filled out by any one who had not
been found by the enumerator. It is
a very good idea and it is to be re-
gretted that it was not adopted in
Santa Fe, and other towns. 1t is like
ly that the Capital City will be much
disappointed by the census especial
ly since it failed to include its suburbs
in the corporation when it had the op-
portunity. But, nevertheless, every
person who has any doubt about be-
ing on the census rolls, should clip out
the coupon below, put in his name and
address and send it to the census Of
fee in this city. The work Of taking
the census in two wards has been
practically completed and in the other
two wards will be closed by Saturday
evening and the result then accom-
plished will stand for the next ten
years as official.

form to anybody but Dr. Hyde.

Disposition to Hold Up Statehood Bill
Until Census Figures Are

Washington, April 27.-As the re-
suit of recent conferences between
the President and the senate and
house leaders, it is expected that
caucuses of the House Republicans
will be called before the session is
much older for the consideration OF
the postal savings bank bill and the
anti-injunction bill. This is the plan
favored in the talks between the lead
ers and the President.
The legislative situation is giving
the White House and the leaders in
both houses some concern. There is
much desire, on both sides of the con,
gress to get home soon to look after
political fences.
Senator Aldrich assured the Presi
dent today of his support of admins
tration measures during the remainder
of his service in the senate. 1t seem
ed as though the senate leader felt a
desire to dedicate the remainder ot
his service to the aid of the Presl
dent, and the suggestion was met with
most cordial reception. The Presi
dent and senate leader have always
worked in harmony.
AS soon as the railroad bill is out
of the way the statehood bill for the
admission of New Mexico and Ari
zona will be called up and continue
the unfinished business until passed
1t is not believed that it will NEE
with any serious opposition when once
called up for action, although there il
a disposition to wait until the popu
lation returns of the census for the

ter part of May.
