A letter from John H. Rockefeller.
now at the Soldiers Home in Sawteli,
California, announces the continued
good health of himself and our other
old time friend, B. F.. Bennett. A
part of the letter reads as follows:
81 am much interested in your To-
calls of 40 years ago, clipped from the
Pilot
"John Phillips, editor and proprie-
tor of said paper, paid me visit last
winter and we had a very good time
talking over old times. He is in the
real estate business and is and has
been making money.
SAINT Robinson is in poor health.
"B F. Bennett is looking fine, al
though complaining OF rheumatism.
He is having a good time talking pol
itics and telling how government
should be run. Ben is pretty well
liked among the old boys, although
very few agree with him on the
science of government.
81 am thinking of taking trip
to Colorado in the near future. This
country is good but I would like a
change, viz lot of high altitude air
and some Rocky mountain trout, also
good fight with the mosquitoes,
A good feast of North Fork peaches
would be nice. Also to meet some
Of my old time friends would be very
enjoyable to me, also other reasons
too numerous to mention"

IT'S CHAMPION DEMPSEY NOW

Jack Dempsey, of Colorado, put
Jess Willard, the heavy weight
Champion of the World, out at Tole-
do, on July Fourth. One OF the
greatest crowds in the history of the
ring witnessed the sensational battle.
From the start it was evident that
it was all Dempsey's fight. He very
nearly finished it in the first round,
could easily have done so in the second
and did the job cleverly in the third.
Wizards seconds threw up the
sponge when time for the fourth
round was about to be called.
Dempsey takes his victory modest
" and announces that he is going to
go on the stage for time, but will
meet any man who seems to have a
right to a match in the course OF the
next year or eighteen months. Evil
IDENTIFY he is going to be real cham
pion and we are all glad he halls from
the Centennial State.

president Quigley is held in the
highest esteem by the school men of
the Western Slope, and 1 assure you
that on my part. 1 will do every
thing in my power to help build up
the Colorado State Normal School.
If YOU find use for me, in any ca
