Mount Columbus in Colorado.-The
Association of Columbus Pioneers,
composed of Italian citizens of Den
yer, have presented a petition to the
Association for the Remaining of the
Peaks and Streams of Colorado that
one Of the tallest mountains in the
state be designated as Mount Colum-
bus, in honor of the discoverer of the
American continent. 1t is hoped that
what is now known as Mount Massive
will be given this distinction, although
the Italians have not designated any
choice. This is appropriate and time

was the first state in the United States
to enact law making the 18th day
of October columbus Day., legal
holiday, thereby setting an example
which has been followed by numerous
states of the Union.
