a really hot spell in Denver, and the
oldest inhabitant can draw a crowd
any day Vhen he begins to tell o! a
irilted collar he saw 'way back in S9.
Further back than that nobody can
remember the city for there wasn't
any. In 1858 the single log cabin of
a pioneer constituted the beginning
of Denver, In the forty years since
then it has made a record of fast
growth that is unparallelled in the
history of a fast-growing Nation. To
day it is a modern city, with hand-
some buildiiurs. bcautful parks, a
great public library, schools, clubs,
hotels, theatres, everything that a
centre of civilization should have.
The famous gold hunt of '49 had
little civilization effect on the Col
orado country; it was aimed further
west Even in 1870, twelve years af
ter the pioneer's cabin was built, the

Senate, Senator Scott of West Virg
inia made a spech in which he spoke
of his old mining days in Colorado.

Senator acott. when there was no
Denver there, when it was inhabited
by the prairie dog, the rattlesnake
and the owL" '
"In 1870 the Denver Pacific and
Kansas Pacific divisions of the Union
Pacific reached the city, and the pop
ulation figures began to jump. When
President Grant proclaimed Colorado
a State on August 3rd, 1876, Denver's
population was about 25,000. It was
35,000 in 1880, and in the next ten
years it increased to 133,859. With
a population estimated today at 175,
000, the city is confident that it will
have passed the 200,000 mark when
the next decennial census is taken.
Of course the Democratic Conven
tion will bring many thousands of
dollars to Denver, directly. But the
indirect benefits expected from it are
greater. In other words, in offering
$100,000 for the Convention, Denver
is embarking upon a gigantic adver
tisement scheme. There is no con
cealment about that Besides the de
legates themselves, visitors flock to
political conventions. Nowadays a
convention is by n& means only a dis
eusson and a choice of candidates and
a framing of a platform it has be
come a remarkable spectable.. Pro
vision for the crowds of "rooters" is
made with no less care than for the
delegates.
Then there are innumerable "frills"
which go along with every convention
receptions, and parades, and sight
seeing parties, and such like. The en
thusiastic Denvcrite will tell you that
his town is strong on these.
First of all, they take the stranger
to the basemen of the Capitol and
show him a tablet which marks a
point exactly one mile above sea level.
This fact of the city's altitude is
its chief pride the foundation stone
for all the other pleasant things which
can be said about Denver. Next in
importance is the death rate, which,
unlike Denver's level, is very low.
In 1900 it was only one and three
tenths per cent, and some years it is
lower than that. The average num
ber of clear days a year is 314.
Not counting the boarding houses
ana lurnisnca rooms to Jet, tnere
are forty hotels in Denver. It .is not
a difficult matter to house 50,000 vis
itors at one time. Why, then, asks
Denver, should it get excited about
taking care of the Convention crowds?
'If there ever was a city that was
make by railroads, that city is Den
ver. It was nothing when the United
States Government decided to have
a transcontinental railroad built across
the Great Plains and the Rockies.
Backed ty the ' Government, the
Unoin Pacific Railroad was begun,
stopped and begun again. All sorts

of obstacles were encountered, but
the engineers and work gangs kept
pushing on. Finally they got to Den
ver from both directions.
Since the growth of the city and
the growth of the railroad have kept
pace with one another. Through bank
ruptcy and reorganizations the Union
Pacific passed, until, in 1898, the pre
sent management took hold and be

road in its present efficient condition,

passes the long trains of Pullman
cars. The Forty-niners were glad to
make five miles an hour with their
wagon trains; now the traveler is car
ried toward the mountains at fifty
miles an hour.
Settlement and civilization follow
ed the rails. As fast as the railroad
was extended, so fast grew up vil
lages, towns and cities. In the first
six months after the advent of the
railroad, $1,00,000 worth of real estate
was sold in Denver on rising values.
The mining of silver and gold con
tinued witTf unremitting steadiness.
Soon the era of building was in full
swing,1 and even now shows no signs
of ending. In a quarter of a century,
Denver has become famous for its
wealth and health and beauty.
"By getting the Democratic Con
vention," said a Denver man in Wash
ington last month, "Denver is serving
notice of its importance to the coun
try." When the Democrats see how
well their pow-wow turns out, they'll
never want to have one anywhere
else. Then' the Republicans will be
eager for Denver, too, and we'll have
both conventions regularly after that.
Why not? There's no other place
that can take care of the delegates as
well or make them as comfortable."

SHIPOFF RETURNS.
After an Absence of Five Months Vis
iting Eastern Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 27. M.
Shipoff, former minister of finance, re
turned here yesterday after a five
months' trip in the Far East. He
visited Japan, China and Siberia on j.
special government mission, the result
of which he has embodied in a re
port to the Emperor.
M. Shipoff today expressed himself
optimistically regarding conditions in
the extreme Orient which he said is
rapidly recovering from the period of
depression following the war. He is
convinced from conversations which
he has had with prominent men of
all shades of opinion in Tokio that
hostilities between the United States
and Japan at present are out of the
question.
M. Shipoff was greatly impressed
by Chinese activity in the coloniza
tion of Korea Although faced by the
prospect of Japanese occupation of
the province, the Chinese are rushing
thousands of settlers into that coun
try and are displaying the greatest
energy in developing business opera
tions, opening mines and planing rail
roads. This tide of colonization, he
said, has offered an inspiring example
to Russia which is confronted by a
similar task in the developing of
Siberia. Many of the native Koreans,
however, are leaving the country to
become Russian subjects rather than
remain under Japanese sovereignty.
M. Shipoff carefully avoided com
ment on Japanese activity in Man
churia, but it was his opinion that
China would have to submit to the
objections offeed by Japan to the
construction of a new . railroad as
Japan is fully prepared to support her
demands. With reference to his re
ported appointment as minister of
commerce to succeed the late M.
Filossofoff, he said that he had no
official notification as yet, but would
be unwilling to accept the office pend
ing the completion of his report which
will require a considerable time.
