While contributing to the various
relief funds. don't forget that the
Tribune has well organized relief
committee that Is ready TO receive
contributions at the rate Of $3.50 per
year. Contributions at this time are
very acceptable. for people Will get
the foolish notion In their heads that
all outstanding accounts should be
settled the first OF the year. and the
Tribune can't meet the requirements
unless the relief fund Is maintained.

According to the United Labor
Bulletin. of Denver. the Pueblo
Chieftain. which is the second oldest
daily paper In Colorado. will be NOV
ed to Denver about the first OF the
year unless the business men OF the
Little Pittsburg of the West show
more speed In supporting a morning
newspaper. Il takes considerable
speed" to make both ends meet with
a morning daily In a small city. but
il looks ms though Pueblo ought to
be able to afford one.

Over In Steamboat Springs the
merchants have united In q castiron
rule that after January ist no credit
will be- given to exceed thirty days
unless by special ARRANGEMENT. Il
is expected that every member Of The
community will be- more or less d.
rcctiy benefited by It's strict en-
forcemcnt. Such rule ought To
work In La Junta. aud It's benefits
would be just ss much In evidence ~
those hoped for aud expected In the
Routt county metropolis.

According to an announcement OF
County Treasurer Wilson an error
existed In the delinquent tax sale no
tIce published In the Rocky Ford Tri-
hume. reciting that the sale would
take place on December 18th. II
should have read that the sale would
take place ON December 18th. The
democratic organs cant get over the
habit Of making bulls and errors.
The organs take after the higher ups
In state and national affairs. II
seems TO run In the famiiy--a sort of
hereditary taint.
