Denver, March 8.-Last week 1 was
appointed on committee to investi-
gate the Board of Capitol Managers
visibility Of buying additional grounds
erecting an additional building and
general recommendations concerning
Ithe expenses necessary for the up.
keep of the State House and the
Museum Building.
Outside Of these few the employees
are busy the year round and their
work is apparently efficient.
We recommended at the suggestion
OF the Govern IT ti-at additional gr1uGd
| amounting perh: ps to $35, 900 Co AMI
bordering on the capitol grounds be
purchased at this time. We also recon
mended at the suggestion of the gov.
ernor, the building of a new office
building similar to the Museum build
ing. Governor Shoup feels and l am
inclined the same way, that as long
as it is going to be necessary to build
this building soon, that is desirable
that additional work be created for
the returning soldiers at this time
was also appointed as one of three
members of the House Appropriation
Committee to meet with a like number
from the Senate finance committee to
go over the long appropriation bill
Among the bills discussed this week
was H. B. 377. This bill has to do
with the distribution and use of hog
cholera serum and virus. It seems
especially with the virus there is con
siderable danger Of spreading hog
cholera IL the virus is not carefully
used. II too much of it is used on an
animal, the cholera is innrcuia.cd in
to them instead Of preventing ii The
bill as drawn, however. seems to be
too strict and arbitrary and we have
referred 1t back to the Stock Commit
tee to see if this cannot be amended
so that it will protect the hog industry
and yet not work an injustice upon
the individual users of the serum and
virus. AS the bill stands. it is unlaw-
full for anyone to use hog cholera virus
except licensed veterinarians and he
only if he has shown that he is capable
of using 1t. Our purpose is to amend
this SO that a man may vaccinate his
own hogs with virus after he. is given
opportunity to learn how to do SO.
Fl. B. 210 woud allow a town to an
mex contiguous territory up to 100
acres when there is no qualified elect
or living on this land. by majority
vote Of the voters in the town. This
bill was inaugurated by Judge Nolan

H. B. 1S6 appropriates from the

OF the bill require that il a town

H. B. 104 sought to abolish capital
punishment There was not nearly
the argument in favor of this bill that
there was two years ago. and when It
came up for vote there were only six

| H. B. 5S5 creates commission for
the benefit of the metal mining indus

similar to the Stock Inspection Board
and as the Stock Inspection Board the
funds for keeping up the work will be
assessed among the shippers of ore.

| A bill of particular interest to the
stockmen of the state was that of
Senator McWilliams which provides
that all brands be assessed s1.00 at
this time, and s1.O0 each year under
penalty of forfeiture of the brands.
The purpose of the bill was to first
raise additional money for the Board
and second. to sponge the records of
unused brands. At the present time.
there are in the neighborhood OF 49,

 them. The attendance through 1891 and 1892 was pitifully small. Oftines, when I look back over those days. when only q corporal's guard of fans was the gen eral rule at all the games, I marvel at the courage displayed by the men who were sinking their money into the national pastime on the bare chance that some day there might be a turn for the better. Week after week only a handful of fans turned out and the hoped-for return of the enthusiasts did not materialize in 1891 or in 1892.
 Interest in baseball was at a low ebb everywhere-and it seemed it's low est in Pittsburg. Every day we boys expected to be summoned by the mag mates and told that the sponge had been tossed into the ring. And one day toward the end of 1S92--we were called into the club office--10 sorrowful look ing athletes. fearing the worst. The club president said to us:
 Boys, we are faced now with the alternative Of releasing you fellows outright and quitting the baseball sea son, or of getting you to work the last two weeks of the season without pay. whats your answers?
 There was but one answcr-and we made it quickly.
 "'sure.' we said, we'll play the last two weeks without pay
 ''As the season closed the club own CTS called us to them again. One of the magnates after briefly outlining finan- cial conditions of the club, said:
 :" We are going to try it for another season-but we can't pay you boys what you have been getting in the past. But we'll be as fair as we can. We are ready now to sign up each of you for the season of 1893 at $2400 a season, and guarantee you full payment. But to get that salary you1l have to sign up right now. If you don't. the best offer we'll make in the spring is $2100'
 There was almost a unanin nous chorus from the players.
 "'We'll sign up right now and we did
 Each of us sacrificed from $100 to $500 in comparison with the contracts of 1891 and 1892-but we figured we were lucky at that. Baseball was in such bad way right then that we knew if the game was going to be saved it's salvation depended not only upon the owners, but the players as we'll

HELPS COUNTRY AND SELF
Nations of the World Taking Pains to Instruct Their Citizens in Les
 sons of Thrift and Saving.

Way up in the Far North, in Daw- thrift habit is taking root and taking the place of the extravagance and prodigal waste that formerly charac- terized that land of gold.
 The following tale, bearing the guaranty of the Canadian Govern son City:
 With poke of gold dust as big as a cabbage, buckskin shirt clad miner from the creeks in the northwest stalked into the postoffice here few days ago. He placed the bag of gilt called to the postmaster:
 I've got s6,214 worth of dust here.' he said q want some War Savings Stamps instead. They're easier to tote around, nobody can steal them, and besides, I see by your sign that they bring higher interest than the banks give. Then chey're to help the government get the boys back, so l guess they're the investment for me-
 The postmaster did not have that much on hand at the moment, so the miner waited in town for few lays until they could be sent for, bought them, registered them, and deposited them with one of the local banks. They look good to me as an invest ment," he said. When l get back to the woods I'll tell the boys about them"
 The Canadian thrift campaign is not dissimilar to that now being waged by the U. S. Treasury Department, and Americans everywhere are learn ing that Government securities are the best investment they can make. The War Savings and Thrift Stamp campaign is just one of the features the U. s. Government is impressing on the public now to bring cbout m era of prosperity that will last.
