STATE SHOULD MINE COAL
SAYS HEAD OF LAND BOARD.
People who own rich deposits
forced to pay exorbitant
prices, says Heating.

With the approach OF the cold wealth
er and prices of coal advancing, Presi-
dent Edward Heating OF the state land
board is out with statement saying
that the state should control and oper-
ate its own coal mines il necessary to
bring the price of fuel within the reach
OF the general public.
"Coal is a public necessity. The state
owns thousands of acres OF the richest
deposits in the state. Much OF this is
leased on a royalty basis and the peo-
pie are forced to pay high prices for
something that is mined on the land
that belongs to every citizen OF Colora-
do" says Heating.
at is absurd to think that Colora do
owning the richest beds OF all kinds OF
coal in the country, should be forced to
pay such price for the commodity in
the open Market Within tho Denver
district the state owns enough coal land
to supply the city and it could do SO at
much less cost to the citizens than the
price now charged.
81 think the next legislature should
do something whereby the people OF the
state could have chance to benefit by
the vast coal beds in the state, owned
by the people and not be forced to stand
and deliver when the cold weather
comes each year.

Death of Mr.. VIM. Dittemore

1t is with sincere sorrow we are called
upon to-day to cronicle the death Of Mr..
William Dittemore which occurred at
his ranch residence on Friday night
last. Four weeks ago he returned from
hunting trip in the mountains and was
complaining of a severe cold which de
veloped into pneumonia. DR. Denny
gave untireing attention and othe
physicians and a trained nurse we're in
attendance, but in spite OF the utmost
care life fluttered in the balance until
the brittle thread of life snapped assund
er and his soul passed to the great be-
yond. The services we're at the church
Sunday forenoon. A large concourse
OF .sympathising friends being present
to pay their last tribute OF respect to
the departed. Rev. Garrison delivered
feeling and soothing funeral discourse
Many beautiful floral offerings graced
the casket. The services at the ceme-
terry were conducted by the Woodmen
OF the World of which Mr. Dittemare
was member. In common, the Tribune
mourns his death as that Of a dear
friend cut off in his prime. The broken
hearted widow and the fatherless child
rem have the teuderest symathy Of all,
in their deep distress and sorrow.

twenty Four Years Have Passed

Twenty four years has passed and the
county seat question still remains un-
settled. Lincolr, Kit Carson, and Chey-
enne have since been taken from our
boundr.es and are all prosperous coun-
ties with permanent county seats, but
the county seat of Ebert County still
has no permanent location. We under-
stand that the tax payers are now cir
culating petition asking the County
Commissioners to place upon the ballot
at the next regular election the perma:
nent county seat question. Let every
tax payer of the County sign this petit
ton, 1T is Just and right that this ques-
ton should be settled by ballot before
the erection of a new court house.

Previous TO his ministry Mr. Cumming

said
AT the beginning OF the christian
era the social life was In a deplorable
state. There were three classes OF peu-
pie The Patriclans were the rich and
lived in great luxuary. The Plebeians
We're the idle, shiftless class. and
formed the bulk Of the Roman citizen
ship The slaves lived in slave stables.
They did all the work. There was no
thrifty middle class that constitutes
the bone and sinew of our modern
civilization.
"Then came the Man OF Nazareth.
and He turned the world up-side-down
In order TO put It right-side-up Jesus

and His life and teachings were ad-

dition.
Christ and His religion has exerted
an influence for the welfare Of the
working classes. 10 has leveled up the
race The tendency of other forces
having to do with social problems. has
been TO level down. The cry heard iu
many places today rs Down with

wage Is somewhat common with us;
but as formulated by Christ II was a
revolutionary idea At His time there
was no formal recognition of the wage.
The working classes lived largely on
charity An honest wage for an honest
task was as yet unknown. But as time
passed on and the religion and teach
