THUtIgDA :Y, A UG. :2"2, 1901.
The way the state board of ammsecra
lifted the valuation on railroad proper-
ties is a caution. In 1900 the valuation
was a trifle over $34,000,000 and this year
they raised it to a little over $126,000,-
000. It is not to be expected that this
raise will stand. Under the new law the
railway companies can take an appeal to
tha state board of equalization. This
they will do,and if the new law is upheld
by the supreme court they will then
make their can before the board.
In it's death struggle the democratic
party of Archulete county costs the state
a cool $7,003. At the lest county election
the republ4eans carried the county by
small majorities. The town of Edith
went almost solidly republican and in or-
der to seat their men the democrats
sought to throw the precinct out and to
this end contested the election on the
grounds that Edith was in New Mexico.
There was no question as to the state
boundary line but the democrats created
the question by hiring a surveyor to
make a survey of the line. After consid-
erable maneuvering the surveyor set
Edith over in New Mexico. When the
]ate lamented 13th conglomeration met
it appropriated $7,000 to have the state
line surveyed. The surveyors have been
at work along the line for some timeand
have probably made sure that none ,,f
the $7,000can get away and they find
that Edith is in Colorado. They admit
that the old corner stones are correct.
Attorney C. A. Johnson was one of the
principal disturbers and it ia needless to
say that Charley has ~wo brothers on
the surveyor's pay roll.--L~dger.
The names of Gee. Gilpin and Gee.
John Evans have been mentioned in
connection with the hall of fame at the
St. Louis expceition. The selection of
Gee. Gilpin is all right, but without at-
tempting to detract from thedistinguish-
ed services rendered the state by Gee.
Evans, we have another name to propose
in his stead. It is that of Gen. W.J.
Palmer. The projector and builder of the
Rio Grands system, the founder and pro
motar of Colorado Springs, the Rio
Grands Western, etc. He has done in-
finitely more for the state than the other
gentleman. But whether he is honored
in this manner or not the rasults of his
life work stands as a monument. His re.
cent generous gift of over a million dol-
lars to the old employee of the Rio
Grands Western stands without paral.
lel in the west and now he gives to Colo-
rado Springs the magnificent park site
known as Austin's Bluffs. In many re-
spects Palmer and Gilpin were alike.
They both law far into the future with i
prophetic eye. Gilpin's Alaskan railway
i
which twenty-five years ago seemed so
visionary ie now looked upon, in the light i
of later developments, as being alto-
gether feesabis. Gen. Palmer'a original
Rio Grande railway plans embraced a
line to the city of Mexico, as well as the
system he built. Others forestalled him
on the route to Mexico, but at the time
he formulated these plans they seemed
chimerical in the extreme. Gilpin and
Palmer should represent Colorado in
the hall of fame.

To Save Her Child.
From frightful disfigurement Mrs.
Nannie Galleger, of La Grange, applied
Bucklen's Arnica Salve to great sores on
her head and face, and writes its quick
cure exceeded all her hopes. It works
wanders in sores, bruises, skin eruptions,
cuts burns, scalds and piles. Cure guar-
anteed by Lord & Wilcox, druggists,
Crestone, COlo.
Some very rich ore was displayed at
the First National bank a few days since
which wee taken from one of the proper-
ties in the Alder district. The quality
is such as to stir up a renewed activity
in all mining interests, and there is an
increased scramble for new locations by
prospectors. The Alder district is forg-
ing to the front as one ot the most sub-
stential in the state.--Mail.
The San Isabel Mining Co., operating
4 miles north of Crestone, held their an.
nual meeting at Colorado Springs last
week and elected a new net of officers. It
is esid theq~ will be a general change of
management and it is intimated ths~ a
great deal of development work will be
started at once.

Letter From Miss Mc.'~ullln.
U. S. A. Transport Thomas, July 29.
I am thoroughly enjoying my first sea
voyage and trust it will not be the last.
I find that my ideas concerning a ship
were very erroneous. They set the table
just as we do and the dishes are not fas-
tened in any way. Our chairs are sta-
tionary. The dining room is called the
saloon and is kept so clean. The electric
fans have been running for three days
now. You should see how things shine
all over the ship, I appreciate the mean-
ing of the word ship-shape now. The
brass is cleaned every day and the floors
washed, then once a week even the ceil-
ings are washed. Men spend their entire
time cleaning. Readiuf ie our principal
amusement but the evenings we spend
walking the decks or sitting by the rail.
All of the teachers had to be vaccinat-
ed, it was either vaccination or return,
some made a great fuss about it, i heard
one man recounting his troubles, he said
he thought it was had enough to be sea
sick, home sick, love sick without being
vaccination sick. We have a merry
crowd. There is to be a dance tonight,
but several are going to watch from the
rigging which means we will be at the
stern. The dance will be on the forward
deck, we have so much music.
Understand we remain in Honolulu till
Friday, we reach there Wednesday
morning about sunrise. We are now 250
miles and it is 5:55 p. m.
We had a beautiful sunset, the ocean
was very smooth and there were just
clouds enough to off color, the ocean has
been very quiet but the second day the
waves splashed on the upper deck, the
captain said that even the sea we are in
now would seem rough in comparison
after leaving Honolulu but it does not
seem possible. People are beginning to
put on their linen and white, the officers
have a white uniform which is very oe-
comming.
We are going to publish a paper in
Honolulu which will give the names of
the passengers, incidents of the voyage
and other matters of interest.
All are beginning to plau on their via-
"it in Honolulu, the Harvard boys want
to'play the Yale boys a game of base ball
and arrangements are being made for
the game Thursday afternoon, the places
of interest are posted in the saloon so
we will have an idea of what to expect.
Honolulu, Aug. 2, 1901
We reached Honolulu at 3 o'clock a.
m. Wednesday, but did not land till 9
as we had to wait for inspection. Was
very much interested in the natives, they
have intelligent faces but the dress of
the women detracts, ] have fallen in love
with the city as it is beautiful, the foli-
age is gorgeous every tree has a flower,
have seen palms, bananas, bread fruit,
lemons, etc. growing in the door yards.
The climate is flue, there has been a
fresh breeze all the time, the Americans
look natural, some have fine rubber tire
carriages and put on much style.
Wednesday evening we went to the
Pacific Heights, an electric line the only
one here runs to the top a distance of
two and a half miles, had a splendid
view of the city which was well lighted
with electric lights.
Thursday evening we attended a re-
ception held on board the ship where we
met the governor, the superior tendaut
and others of note. We listened to the
Hawaian band, the music is beautiful,
two ladies sang solos, their voices are
sweet though not strong.
We sail tomorrow at 12, we expected
to eail today but could not get ready,
may be delayed till Sunday.
The government is treating us fine and
we appreciate it very much. Our trip
will be fine, we are going from here to
Guam where we expect to stay a day,
maybe two or three, then to the south-
ern most island of the Philippines, (but
i do not stop) and through the straits to
Manila. We will not reach Manila much
before September let.
For the "Boys.
James Camper wants to buy all the
old copper, zinc and rubber he can get.
He will pay 5 cents a pound for copper,
and one cent and a half for old rubber.
I sell gunny sacks four cents each. I

John A. Stephens says the rains have
helped the Upper l~aguache ranchmen
more than they expected. He has just
cut an 80 acre meadow which three
weeks ago would not have paid for cut.
ting, and got a good crop off it. The
meadows cut a few weeks ago have also
grown up again rapidly and assures good
pasture for the fall and winter. The
mitlock is improving daily.

"~omething Now Under The Sun."
All Doctors have tried to cure CA-
TARRH by the use of powders, acid gas-
es, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders c~ry up the mucuous mere.
branee causing them to crack open and
bleed. The powerful acids used In the
inhalers have entirely eaten away the
same membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure while pastes and oint-
ments cannot reach the disease. An
old and experienced practitioner
who has for many years made a close
study and specialty of the treatment of
CATARRH, has at last perfected a
treatment which when faithfully used,
not only relieves at once but permanently
cures CATARH by removing the cause,
stopping discharges and curing all in-
flammation. It is the only remedy known
to science that actually reaches the af-
flicted parts. This wonderful remedy is
known as "Snufflels",the Guaranteed Ca-
tarrh Cure and is sold at the extremely
low price of one dollar, each package
containing internal and external medi-
cine sufliclent for a full month's treat-
! meat and everything necensary to its per-
fect use.
"Snuffles" is the only perfect catarrh
cure ever made and is now recogmzed as
the only safe and positive cure for that
annoying and disgusting disease. It cures
all inflammation quickly and perma-
nently and is also wonderfully quick to
relieve hay fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh, when neglected often leads to
consumption Snuffles will save you if you
use it at once. It is no ordinary remedy,
but a complete treatment which is posi-
tively gU/trantecd to cure catarrh in any
form or stage if used according to the di-
r ecfllons which accompany each package.
D~n't delay but send for it at once, and
write full particulars as to your condi-
