brick kilns, canning plants, sugar
factories, food processing plants,
creameries, cheese factories and
scores of other manufacturing
plants. Colorado's granite, marble,
limestone, sandstone and lavas are
known to builders the world around.
Sawmills still flourish near its great
forests.
Colorado clasped it's riches tight
ly to its bosom and said, "you can
have them - if you deserve them"
The men and women of Colorado
accepted the challenge. They con-
quered the mountains and plains.
They built cities and factories and
schools. They blasted highways out
of solid granite. They made it easy
for others to "Come Up to Cool
Colorado" where the sublirnity of
the Rockies inspired Katherine Lee
Bates to write America the
Beautiful"

know. Many veins have been mere
ly tapped and new ones are con-
stantly being discovered. In spite
of all obstacles, Coloradoans have
dug and blasted three billion dol
lars worth of precious and indus
trial metals from the granite ware
houses within it's borders. More
than $50 minerals have been dis
covered within the state, between
IS and so of them now being ex-
tracted for market. Colorado is
first among the states in vanadium
and uranium, third in gold, fourth
in tungsten, fifth in silver, sixth in
lead, seventh in core er and fif-
teenth in zinc. It leads the world in
molybdenum production.
These Coloradoans probed and
blasted and swore, as they went
deeper and deeper into the gram
ite treasure chest. In 1862, A. M.
Cassidy drilled in a canyon near
Florence and struck oil, after
petroleum had been found bubbling
on the surface of Oil creek. They
found Colorado shales containing
enough recoverable oil to equal
present production for so years.
The recently opened Range1y oil
field on the western slope is the
most sensational find in years. Ma
tural gas was discovered over
wide area, and helium gas struck
in Las Animas county.
Beneath the surface of the good
earth they found coal, too =
enough of it to last, the nation for
700 years! Colorado ranks first
among the states in coal reserves,
most of them in the San Juan basin,
Moffat county, all along the Utah
border and extending under the
foothills on the eastern slope from
the Wyoming border to New Mex

oradoan knows that. Cowmen,
sheepmen, beet growers, truck gar
deners, fruit growers, hay ranch
ers and general farmers must have
water. They got it. They dug wells
deep in the ground. They con-
structed dams in the canyons to
store the melted snow; they dug
canals and bitches; they irrigated
the rich, thirsty soil.
They homesteaded in the Great
American desert and they made
it bloom. The beet and potato in
dustry around Greeley, founded
by the old Union colony, is a
monument to pioneers in irrigation.
All along the South Platte basin,
from Denver and Fort Collins to
Sterling and Julesburg, is a mighty
agricultural empire. The Arkansas
river waters developed famed val
ley that produces beets, melons,
fruit and garden truck for the ma
ton. From Canon City through
Rocky Ford to Lamar and the Kan
sas line is another agricultural
wonder brought about by lrrlga-
ton.
In between the rivers, the nom
irrigated farms and ranches now
produce wheat, corn, hay, beans,
potatoes and other crops. Thou
sands of head of sheep and cat
tie are grown and dairying is
statewide. The Western Slope, the
San Luis valley, and all mountain
Gus areas below timberline are
havens for farms, ranches and or
chards. Snow-capped peaks often
look down on blossoms in the val
ley below.
With raw materials near at
hand, Colorado progressed indus
trially too. Mills were built to proc
ess the ores. Steel plants grew up

ed hundred times. Boom towns
grew overnight at Cripple Creek,
Leadville, Central City, Creede and
scores of other places. Prospectors
clambered over the hills. Nuggets
were found. Rich veins of ore were
uncovered. There were million
aires created Winfield Scott STRAIT
ton, H. A. w. Tabor (of "Silver Dol
lar" fancy and others. Men blus-
tered, gambled, drank, fought and
died during the score of years that
followed.
But slowly the truth about Colo
RADIO emerged. The facts were not
all pleasant ones. The territory was
incredibly rich there was no
doubt of that. There were great
stores of silver and gold. There
were rich and fertile soils. There
were other resources = lumber,
coal, building stone and marvel
Gus climate. There was deep snow
in the mountains, but there was
little rainfall on the plains. The
nuggets were soon picked up. The
"free" gold was gone and hard
rock mining had come to stay. Gold
and silver were buried deep in the
granite, defying quick wealth. Men
who had sought soft and easy life
were confronted with stark reality.
Colorado was no Garden of Eden.
They would have to work-and work
hard-for whatever they got. And
they couldn't live on fresh air and
mountain scenery.
Colorado weighed each man
among them to find his worth.
There was work to be done, and it
took strong men to do it. The weak
lings, the ne'er-do-wells, the mis-
fits were eliminated. They depart
ed with a curse on their lips and
hatred in their hearts. Those with
courage, strength, hope and vision
stayed.

"GOLDl" The magic word was
- spoken. 1t was heard and re-
peated. Gold in Colorado for the
taking. Nuggets as big as turkey
eggs all over the mountains. AS the
story Travelled, it was embellished
in retelling. Overnight in 1858,
"Pikes Peak or Bust became the
nations slogan.
Men of every nationality, occu-
patton and station in life joined the
Pixies Peak gold rush, one of the
great mass migrations in Ameri-
cas- history. They swarmed into the
Colorado mountains, whooping it
up as they went. In their wake fol-
lowed farmers to settle in the fer
tile valleys. From Texas, across
the open, grasslands, were driven
herds of 1onghorn cattle.
Down south in Georgia, W. Green
Russell heard about it. He organ
lied party of 80 or 40 miners and
set out for the Pixies Peak region,
hardly sleeping until he reached
the banks of the South Platte and
made camp. Within month he had
been joined by 400 others and the
settlement was dignified by the
name Auraria, in honor of Russelps
town back in Georgia.
Thousands of others were on
their way. A year later General
Larimer crossed Cherry creek,
took possession of some cabins and
named the settlement Denver City,
in honor of Gen. James w. Denver,
governor of Kansas. CAT that time,
Colorado-as yet unnamed-was a
part of Kansas territory. Wild
days followed on that 960-acre
townsite. Thousands of excited peo-
pie thronged the dusty streets.
Soon Denver was the Mecca of
the Mountains. A printing plant was
brought from Omaha, and the
Rocky Mountain News made its
debut (1859). Soon thereafter the
Herald was founded. The files of
those early-day newspapers tell
story of lusty life in Denver, Of
gambling, Indian scares and prom
ised riches for all men.

 ''We feel pretty good about this, because we not only elected one of our own people, but at the same time, we retired to private life where he belongs-one of the worst labor haters in Connecticut Ranulf Compton. We will do our best to see that he stays a private citizen.
 We learned much from that cam paign. If we are to elect the men we endorse, we cannot be satisfied with endorsements alone There must be political action in the true sense of the word. This means a lot of de- tailed work-checking to see that every member of the locals are vot- CTS, visiting them and explaining the issues, and seeing to it that they vote on election day,
 We have been glad to welcome the unions of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Elm ployees into the Council. We were in strumental in obtaining for them the passage of an ordinance which ahirms their right to organize, and which provides for effective grievance ma chinery. These unions are an import ant asset to the labor movement.

We consider this a very attractive method of freeing our Labor Temple of all debt.
