Show IN COLORADO. to his neighbor; on the other hand, it is a fact that that whichmakes for advancement and progress in the development of new countries muet do so by in some measure limitmg the former freedom of the plainsman and mountaineer; but so long as the plainsman and mountaineer are a considerable portionof the population these very worthy ~ w p l aer e apt to care more for what they regard as their freedom and rights than for what may prove to benecessities to the incomingconditions. Such has been repeatedly shoan by the destmction of fences tbat crossed former trails, op oaition to railroads acrass personal propert , local opposition to water towers angstand-pipes, to ameltern and factories. In get, the thing needs on1 to be an advent and an evidence of the encroachment of the ''effete civiheation" orolder and more settled countries to meet, i(l many cases, rabid opposition thoughuntold yearsof experience in the older countries may have demonstrated thLt it is even more beneficial than harmful to congested populations. We are only bearing now the opposition that comes because of our need of that, as we see it, that has not before been necessary to our predecessors, and as a conse-quence our neighbors, or a part of them, not only fail to see our need but feel they will be greatly injured if we should be allowed to have that which has over and over been gmted others, not only w~thout injury, but wlth direct benefit to the general communitg . And the general welfare in the majority of ewes is procured at some cost to in mduals and those who would have anvbenefits thatare derived from increased population kill learn sooner or laterthat the benefit denved will be at the cost of something that wss an integral part of the past. Further consideration of this matter wlll be had, with a view to sometping in the nature of a compromise position between therad~caol ppositions now exlehn as soon assome parties whoarem position to docan beinduced to say what they wij do. It is however, afactthat now we are freely offered what at one timewewere positively dhnied, and now no one can see why we werenot granted such a request in thebegin-ning, and individuals now doubt that such a denial ever came to us. It will all mend itself to the advantage of all, unless the radical or possibly rabid gain the upper hand and control, when there must necesm-ily be unnecessary loss somewhere. Improvements needed.-Mess hall for npils This should contain a dinin room capable of seating comforts.hly 2.50 pupii; china closet and linen closet; a kib%en of capacity qua1 to that of the dining rwm, with closets for kitehen furniture and bak-ing utensils; storeroom capable of holding two weeks' supplies of subsistence; bread room for two days' m ply In front of the dining rwm should be halls or vesti-bules large enough to iold.the outer clothing of all the dining room will accommo-date, and in some part of the building should be a mom for the cook.

Heating.-Except in the new building this is by soft-coal stoves, the dangers, insanitation, and expense of which are too well known to need comment. Ventilation.-This can be better accomplihed b waiting till new roofs, which must go on next year, are ut on the old dormitories, gut when this is done a system of ventilation that chilgen can not open and close at will should be put in that will admit fresh air and permit the discharge of the foul air in the room; and with the replacmg of the roofs and the installation of the heating plant is unquestionably the time to best do such work. The three should be done at the same time, as they will be better done, and if one is undehken, as it mnst be, a strenuous effort should be made to accomplish all.
