J. H. HELLER, Manager. F ' ■ Distirct Attorney Jerome has solicited the aid of the clergy and their churches in his fight to secure an adequate law against gambling in New York state. He says that with one thousand preachers working behind him the legislature will not dare to defeat proposal for such a law as will ■wipe out gambling, including that •which rests on turf events The average legislature, he declares, is “scared of a preacher,” and he believes that wtih courageous support over the state he can get the law that is needed to extirpate gambling.—Ft.

FROM COLORADO An Interesting Letter From Irvin Brand) berry BOULDER IS A BEAUTIFUL CITY It is a College City, But is Filled With Western Progress and is Rapidly Increasing in Population Boulder, Colo., Jan. 14, 1906. Thinking it might be interesting to some of the Democrat readers to know something about “Boulder, the place to live,” will give a short description of our western city. Boulder is located in one of Colorado's loveliest valleys, 29 miles northwest 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 a cost of S2OO,CvO. 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 cool 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 of $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 bj 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 SIOO,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 driveway has been recently built by the county, leading up Flag Staff mountain above the city and joining the old Gregory canyon road about two miles above the city, leading to south Boulder canyon and Magnolia. As we go up this scenic driveway 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 exquisite beauty and "endless variety of wild flowers, the picturesque peaks and all the wonders of nature as shown in her mineral and geological world confer upon the visitor perfect health, gives him the most idealistic recreation, teaches him some of nature's mysteries and fills him with an uplifting awe for the Creator of the Universe. IRVIN BRANDYBERRY, Boulder, Colorado.
