BOULDER IS A BEAUTIFUL CIT\ It is a College City, But is Filled Witt Western Progress and is Rapidly increasing In Population Boulder, Colo., Jan. 14, 1906 Thinking it might be interesting tc some of the Democrat readers tc know something about “Boulder, the place to live,” will give a short de scription of our western city. Boulder is located in one of Colo rado’s loveliest valleys, 29 miles north west of Denver. It has a population of 12,000. A beautiful stream, from which it derives its name, flows through the city. The Araphoe glacier, one of the slow moving, but sublime powers, which have transformed the topography of Boulder county, is Located at the headwaters of this stream. Here you can stand on the Araphoe’s ice covered peaks from whose inexhaustible stores Boulder people get the water they drink. The water is brought direct to the city in a steel pipe line recently constructed at% cost of 1200,000. The whole system cost the city nearly >500,000. This chain of lakes, lie twenty miles up the mountains at the foot of the Araphoe’s peaks and fed by the Araphoe glacier comprising nearly 250 acres of ice, the whole mass moving from seventeen to twenty-seven feet per year, the only typical glacier in Colorado. The gutters of the streets are running full of this clear water, to cleanse and eool and to cause to spring up a forest of delghtful shade along every thoroughfare. Boulder is called the college town of Colorado. It has the college spirit as no other town in the West Seat of the splendid state university, its citizens are first to herald and to witness its athletic events, its commencements, its oratorical and debating contests. Even the banks close on a big foot ball day. This university has -1,000 students and grows as does the town, 20 per cent every year. Boulder never boomed. Like Topsy she “just growed.” She was the only town in Colorado that didn’t have a failure in the awful panic of 1893. We have four banks which are pillars of strength. They hold two million dollars of deposits. Boulder is a delightful city with admirable schools several sanitariums, an admirable sewer system, fine churches, representing nearly all denominations. Boulder valley teems with coal and produces over a million tons a year. Fuel is very cheap. Good oil and gas wells are found near Boulder and many homes here enjoy gas fire-places and gas ranges for the housewife. In the foothills to our west an average output ot >750,000 of gold and silver is produced—mostly gold. Boulder county produces more tungsten than any other district in the world. The great prosperity of Boulder county is due in a large measure to the intense development of agricultural resources with the beet sugar industry the greatest stimulus, though other industries have contributed to the general prosperity. The Colorado Chautauqua has done much toward increasing the population by bringing strangers to our city who later become investors- and home builders. More than. >400,000 was spent last year in building operations. A new >IOO,OOO hotel, a >40,000 Y. M. C. A-, a >30,000 Carnegie library, a >60,000 federal building and a >350,000 beet sugar factory are among the new buildings for the present year. Through

the efforts of the Boulder Commercial association and the enterprise of the county commissioners a Scenic drive- ] way has been recently built by the 1 county, leading up Flag Staff mountain 1 above the city and joining the old ] Gregory canyon road about two miles 1 above the city, leading to south Boul- 1 der canyon and Magnolia. As we go up this scenic driveway 1 we see both a world land and a wonderland, with thousands of canyons, glens, valleys, parks and snow-capped • peaks (even in the month of July) raising their mighty forms up into a world of their own. The balmy aroma of the pines, the i exquisite beauty and endless variety ’ of wild flowers, the picturesque peaks and all the wonders of nature as J shown in her mineral and geological . world confer upon the visitor perfect . health, gives him the most idealistic recreation, teaches him some of na--3 ture’s mysteries and fills him with an t uplifting awe for the Creator of the Universe. IRVIN BRANDYBERRY, . Boulder, Colorado.

I 1 INDIANA DELEGATION DIVIDED 1 < ' i Ship Subsidy Bill Making Them Sweat ' —The House Legislators Increase i Their Salaries. J 1 Washington, Jan. 19.—There will bo | no currency legislation of consequence at this session of congress. So t much opposition to the bill reported < by the house committee on banking { and currency, embodying the recom- i mendations of the commission repre- < senting the American Bankers' Assoelation, has developed that the speak- < er will not open a right-of-way for it. i In the meantime, various suggestions t for currency legislation will be Inform- j ally discussed by the legislators. Perhaps by next December it may be < possble for congress to agree on a 3 bill.. « -- —1 Washington, Jan. 19. —The members of the Indana delegation in the house I have not decided how they will vote on the ship subsidy bill. With possibly one or two exceptions, the repre- 1 sentatives from the state were inclined to support the compromise mall subsidy bill until they received letters from home warning them of the strong sentiment in the state against any subsidy legislation. These letters have been I coming in by the wholesale in the last 1 twenty-four hours. 1

— — 1 111 — THE ENTIRE TRAIN 18 BURNED A Score of People Cremated, While Would-be Rescuers are Helpless to Aid Them. (Scripps-Mcßae Special.) Fowler, Ind., Jan. 19.—At an early hour this morning, number thirtyeight, Queen City special on the Big Four railroad, collided with a freight train which had the right-of-way a half mile east of here. At least twenty-five are dead and fifty injured. It was the most terrible wreck in the history of the road. The passenger train was going fifty miles an hour when the crash came. Twenty people, penned in beneath the wreck, burned to death within half an hour. Owing to the dense fog the engineer of the flyer was unable to see the light on the signal tower, telling him that a freight had the right-of-way. The operator at the block knew this and went out oh the track, frantically waved his lanter and fired several pistol shots, but the engineer let her fly past at the rate of fifty miles an hour. A moment later the awful crash came. The tender of No. 38 telescoped the baggage car and the rear end of the tender cut through to within ten feet of the smoker. The firemen of both trains were killed instantly, but the engineers both escaped by jumping. The report of the collision was heard all over town. Fire bells and whistles called people to aid of the Injured. The wreckage took fire immediately and-ths flames, fanned by a high wind, soon destroyed almost the entire train, cremating many Injured, pinned beneath cars. Those uninjured and those who could be hastily extricated, were taken to Kankakee. One man pleading piteously for aid, was extricated when the flames were within six feet of him. The injured were taken to Kankakee, 111., in Vice President Schaff's private car which was attached to the passenger train and occupied by Mrs. Schaff who escaped uninjured. None of the sleeper passengers were killed. Only a few of the dead have been identified, including P. J. Hlgginer, Indianapols; J. McGee, Indianapolis; Henry Outgate, Cincinnati; John Schamman, Williamsport; W. B. Harris, Indianapolis. The heat of the burning cars was so intense that in many cases the rescuers could not get near the injured and they had to be left to burn alive, pleading piteously to be taken out. Strong men looked and wept because they could do nothing. The only woman in the combination coach cried pitifully for help. Farmers brought axes and saws and worked manfully to chop her out of the ruins, in spite of the approaching flames. Finally they got to her only to find that she was held down by a steel beam which they could not break. They had to retire only to watch her burn slowly to death with the most terrific and agonzing cries on her lips. She pleaded that they shoot her but none would do so. She frantically tried to choke herself to death, but her strength failed her. Those who escaped were exposed to cold and rain, none had time to dress, many being attired only in night attire. In this way they were taken to Kankakee after having seen their belongings and traveling companions cremated. Several women are on the verge of insanity. John O’Shannan died on the train en route to Kankakee. 39 o POSTMASTERS WILL ORGANIZE Meeting, Called for Indianapolis in March. Postmaster Jesse Parmenter of Wabash, vice president for Indiana of the National Postmasters’ association, after hearing from the majority of the postmasters of the state, has decided to have a meeting -of first class, second claiss and third class postmasters at Indianapolis, in March, the state meeting being for the purpose of organizing the state. The fourth class postmasters, at a meeting in Wabash, elected J. P. Thompson of Lafontaine, president, and George Miller of Urbana, secretary. They are asking a fixed salary, the fourth class postmasters being paid commissions only. The fourth class postmasters in the state are already organized.

* —-o PROVED A BANNER SUCCESS,, Many Buyers Here From Far and Near and the Bidding Was Spirited. ' C J The first of the big horse sales to be given by the Decatur Horse Sale Company at the new sale stables of Rice, on First street Was held Saturday, sale starting promptly at ten o’clock. The barn, which is oxe of the largest sale barns in the state at present, was packed with buyers from far and near, representatives of leading horse firms frem New York, Chicago, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, St Louis, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Winchester being present, and the bidding was spirited and every horse offered brought his actual worth. Over one hundred and fifty head of horses were offered for sale and at the close it was found that every animal offered had been sold and at prices that met with the approval of all. The sale was auctioneered by Fred Reppert, who, as. upon past occasions, conducted hmself in his usual pleasing manner and always got the top price for the horse offered for sale, thus pleasing the owner of the horse and also the buyer. The new sale barn Is a dandy and Messrs Booh & Rice were the recipients of many congratulations upon the manner in which the same was erected as to accommodating horses, buyers and crowd and in general upon the mammoth stables The stable Is arranged so that several hundred horses can be easily handled, while on the north side of the building is a large pavilion where the horses are shown and sold to the highest bidder. This stable means many dollars for Decatur and also means much to the farmer as he is thus always afforded an opportunity to offer his horse flesh to the market and receive the highest market price for the same. Messrs. Boch & Rice should receive the congratulations of the public at large in this their new enterprise, as they have constructed and erected the best money maker for Decatur that has ever been broached in the city. It will pay any one to call and look this mammoth stable over. o It is stated here in the railroad circles that a spotter, reported to be of the feminine gender, has been making trips over the Clover Leaf system from Toledo to St. Louis, for several weeks. It is claimed that her rides and reports, which had to make a showing, is responsible for the discharge or suspension of two passenger conductors, one on the east division out of here and one of the Frankfort-St Louis portion. Your correspondent has tried to learn the nature of the reports turned in against the conductors and it is stated they were In the habit of carrying a friend without chargeing a fare for the ride. —Charleston Courier. Right now the farmers are coming into competition with the big produce trust and as a result the price of eggs has dropped from 80 down to 22 cents, and the prospects are that they will go still lower. Cold storage eggs being released by the millions and that is bringing the price down as they are ' sold in competition with the fresh ' fruit. The big egg packers get scared along in January when a spell of warin weather occurs and believing that they will have a short chance of getting rid of all their savings by the time spring, ' eggs come on, rush their stuff into the markets. 4 - • .
