become one of the greatest In the
national life. 1t has spread amaz-
ingly, until today nearly every city
in the country OF any considerable
size has its annual gathering Of lay

Greeley fell into line three years
ago. As with other enterprises, the
first few years of a chautauqua's
existence test the nerve. endurance
and optimism of the promoters.
The institution being new In . COM

itself with those from whom the
patronage must be drawn. Al
though the first two years did mot
sCintillate rs q financial success, the
directors of the annual Affair did
not get "cOld feet this year, even

given them ample excuse for being

Through the medium Of the chau-
tauqua the people At large are en-
abled to hear the most eminent
lecturers and finished artists at
prices impossible under other con-
ditions. For instance, the very
opening number Of the season in
Greeley this year, which is Satur-
day afternoon next, is of peculiar
importance to Weld county and Is

he speaks, since he has studied his

same evening there is another mes
sage for every one having the inter-
ests of his home city at heart.
''SoIdiers Of the Common Good"
will be discussed by Charles Ed
ward Russell, whose reputation Is
known to every magazine reader.
He has fought the fight for civic
righteousness for years. What he
knows Of these things is vital to
every citizen not only Of Greeley
but of the United States.
And thus the program will con-
tinue for eight days, interspersed
with fine concerts. There Is not .

THE GREELEH y1CroRY

Not alone the people of Greeley
but also the farmers having land
abutting upon the line of the Den
yer & Pacific railroad-now owned
by the Union Pacific-are to be
congratulated upon the victory won
by Greeley in the federal circuit
court of appeals in st. Louis.
The Union Pacific claimed q strip
OF 400 feet wide along the right-of-
way Of the old Denver 4 Pacific;
whereas the city Of Greeley con-
tended that the company was en-
titled to no more than . strip of 100
feet which had Eeen granted by the
old town company. The decision of
the court being adverse to the rail-
road, great loss both to Greeley and
the private owners Of land embrac-
ed within the 400 feet claimed Ia
thereby prevented.
Since the claim OF the railroad
covered Its entire r1ght-of-way. the
victory won by Greeley Is at the
same time . victory for the farmers.
The land through which the road
runs Is in some localities very val,
liable. In the aggregate it would
make large sum, which the own
ers OF this land would have to sur
render to the railroad company IL
the decision had been in favor of
the latter.-Denver Republican.

STANLEY LAKE PROJECT

John Kinnears dream is fulfilled.
The STANDBY dam. the largest of
its kind in the world Is completed.
Within sixty days the entire equip
ment OF vast irrigation enterprise
that is to supply water to 100000
acres north and east of Denver will
be finished.
This is the realization of a
dream that John Kinnear. a solitary
rancher who first occupied the site
of the vast Standley dam near
Broomfield, dreamed as far back as
1869. John kinnear had the vision
and he started the first ditch. But
his means we're limited and he
handed over the dream and the site
to men with more money and great
er executive ability. Capitalists
took up the dream and breathed the
breath Of cash into it. It prospered
1t languished and once it seemed
likely to fail altogether. but, thanks
to the kindly rescue of French
money, 1t is now about to come
true.

NEW INSURANCE COMPANY
HAS SOLD IT'S BUSINESS

The value of the stock OF a new
life insurance company as an invest
ment is not commended In bulle-
Tin lust issued by the insurance de-
partment Of the state Of Colorado:
The document relates to the sale oil
the Colorado National Life lnsur-
ance company OF Denver to the Co
lumbar National Life Insurance
company Of Boston. This deal was
effective June 3 last.
The Colorado company has been
doing business since November.
1905. 1t started with $250,00
capital and $4,000 surplus, fully
paid. The surplus was rapidly de-
pleted and the capital was later re-
duced to 100000 in order to in
crease the surplus. In December.
1910, II was shown that the capital
stock of 100000 and the surplus OF
$14s,0OO comprised the total assets
Of the company. these combined be-
ing $4,000 less than was paid in.
It was further shown that the COM
pany had been competantly man
aged for the more than Ave years OF
it's life. The fact that the stock
holders voted to sell their holdings
at a loss would indicate that it
might be some time before they
might expect any dividends.
The buying company has been In
existence since 1902 and has a capi-
tai of 100000 and q surplus OF
S4s0,O0O. 1t was admitted to Colo
RADIO only few weeks ago.
The history Of new life insurance
companies indicates that they can
not be placed on paying basis for
the stockholders under a long term
of years even when managed by
competent officials.

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE

tThe following paper was read at
the late session Of the district con-
vention. W. C. T. U. at Fort Lupton.
The author is Mrs. F. B. McClelland.)
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1911-05-17

The Dispatch's demand for a change
in the schedule of the Southern's
morning train from Columbia in the
interest of the R. F. D. carriers and
the hundreds of farmers living along
tae line between Columbia and Angus
ta, has met with the heartiest endorse
ment. That this great hardship has
been forced upon our people long
enough no one dare deny. The de-
mand for the old schedule is going to
bemade so strong that Superintendent
Williams cannot afford to turn the re-
quest down. The Southern has always
shown an inclination to arrange its
schedules so as to bring the greatest
good to the greatest number, and 1t is
hoped and confidently expected that
in this particular instance it will give
the relief 50 earnestly sought.
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1911-05-17

Governor Blease has refused to
grant pardon to W. T. Jones, the
wealthy Union county farmer who Is
facing life term in the State penl-
tentiary, having been convicted of the
murder of his wife. Mrs. Marion Jones,
three years ago. We have never be-
lieved that Jones was guilty Of the
awful crime with which he is charged.
That any man should stoop to the lev
eli which Jones is said to have stopped
by witnesses who swore against him
at the trial, is hardly to be believed.
If le is guilty of having done some OF
the things with which he has been ac-
cused, there has been miscarriage OF
Justice; for burning at the stake would
indeed be too good for him. If he is
innocent-and thousands of people be-
lieve him to be-he is entitled 20
pardon and should be freed at once.

We we're indeed glad to meet our
old friend and fellow comrade, Mr.. L.
Jeff. Shealy, of Boiling Springs. on
our streets Monday. Jeff. was Cor
poral in Co. f., 20th Regiment s. G.

fellow. The place to have true test
of this was in the Confederate service,
when we marched side by side, scant-
ily fed and some times barefooted. 1t
was a time "that tried mems souls"
but we remembered the cause, our
dear homes and Southland, and bore
all the hardships like true patriots.

Picturesque Village"

As Columbia grows, its suburbs will
extend further of course and matter
of 13 or IA miles over good road will
count for little. What an exquisitely
picturesque village is Lexington-a
village OF homes hidden behind elms
and oaks, with here and there a tall
magnolia CT pine or cedar, village of
homes With garden fox, anemone and
ranuncnla, a village Of trellised cot
tages that sit far back from the street,
a quiet, restful green village with tall
trees where the people love their flow
ers. One reaches this village by fine
road over the hills and the road is
flanked by farmers who live in cottag-
es in the pines and who till carefully
the fields OF wheat and corn and cot
ton-yes, one sees number of wheat
fields between Columbia and Lexing-
ton-and their orchards are neat and
trim. If Lexington do not itself grow
into commercial city meantime, the
day will come when many prosper
ous Columbia business man will have
his ''estate" in Lexington or nearby.
The State.
Pretty vel! said, "Bi:ly." Lexing-
ton is a town with a future, and the
time is not far distant when she will
become great commercial city"
She has already got Columbia ''skint'
block as square meal town."
There is no necessity for ''back
home" movement here; they always
come back of their own accord. How
ever, there is room for more, and we
will gladly welcome Columbians to
our picturesque village.''
