COLORADO S HAiG Fifty Yars Ago a Solitude and for Only 32 Years a State Commonwealth That Has Thrived Upon Adversities. today. wonderful By FRRDKRIC J. HA8KIX. (Copyright. 1908. by Fredurlc- J. Ilnnkln.) Washington. Auif. 1. Colorado, tho Centennial State., 100 years younRer thnn the union, today celobrates Its thirty-second birthday. There are so many wonderful thing in the United States that it Is lmposnllle to select one and say "this Is the greatest thing In America." Hut if an American should be called upon to point out that one fea ture of his country, which In Itself Is the epitome and reflection of all that Is wonderful in American . progress ana new world civilization, he would turn to Colorado. On August 1. ISTfi, Just 32 years ago, Colorado became one of tho states of the federal union. Kightocn years be fore that Colorado whs a waste of mountain and desert which had not yet Irnnan civilization and which was un inhabited save hv a few savages. It Is Just 60 years since the first Introduc tion of civilisation, the first permanent sett lenient, to the Colorado or History contains no record than that. Cantaloupes and Hospitality Today Colorado ranks high among Its later states. As vet It has not tho great population of eastern common wealths, but It has plenty of room. Its mines give up wondrous toll In gold and silver, lead and coal, each year. Its mountain slopes ufford pasture for counties flocks of sheep. Its farms support Its own people and j?lvu of their bounty to the rest of the world, al though Colorado Is not accounted an ag ricultural state. Potatoes grown in Colorado are worth more In the markets than potatoes grown elsewhere. The Kocky Ford cantaloupe Is wortli three times as much as its coarser cousin from other states an the cantaloupe growers everywhere honst that they use seed propagated In Colorado. ' Iw-nver, the capital and metropolis or the state, Is one of the most beautiful titles of the country. Sitting aloft, a mite above the level of the sea. It wel comes the visitor from the lowlands to a climate of invlgoratlon and delight. Kccently It entertained the national l'emocratlc- convention, and everybody B(?r 1 tint Denver had beaten nil rec ords for entertaining and hospitality Colorado's gold and silver, Colorado s v,oit,.nt,ir..a I'nlnrAiio's melons and Col orado's ozone are known all over tho world. It is difficult to believe that all these things have been bioiight Into being within the span of a half cen tury. A look backward nt the days half forgotten will not fall to profit. First Battlement and Eel? Flka. Spanish gold seekers and missionaries were the first white people to enter the bounds of the present state of Colo rado Thev found neither gold to be Barriered nor souls to be shriven, and they did not tarrv.

Is stirring and stretching herself again and is pre paring for another awakening that will open tho eyes of the entire world and which will keep the orient up and going the rest of her natural life, according to Alexander McLeod. of Shanghai, a merchant who hag spent 44 years in the land of the poppy. Mr. Mcl.eoit fa at the Hotel Port land, accompanied bv his wife. He Is an Knirl iahnian Mrs. Mcleod an Amer ican. Mr. McLeod Is connected with the rirm of Olhb, Livingston Co., wnion concern has branch houses In all the nrlm-lnul cities of China. He Is making a tour of this country for the benefit of his hoaitn. T'Thls nwakenlnr of China has been brought about owing to the Intense In terest of her people In the boycott that has been Instigated against the Japan ese as a result or tlio steamer imisu Maru Incident," Mr. McLeod said yes terday. "Where thin hnveott will end and Its results no one knows or ventures hardly to make a guess," the merchant con tinued "as the Chinese have determined to continue to hinder the Japanese bus inesses and manufactures In every way possible. The Chinese assert tnai me uuywii shall be kept up until the little brown men have ben injured In a bus iness way to the extent of 300,000,000 yen- . . trots oil Katon euppiy. 'fin. nt the irrAtrint industries Of the Japanese Is In manufacturing matches for the Chinese. No more Japanese matches are used now In the land of the poppy. Instead China is importing matches from other countries, and as rapidlv as Is possible she Is preparing to erect great match factories of her own. In fact, several or tnese institu tions have already been started and are nearlng completion. Other match fac tories nrp contemplated and being planned in the various cities, and before many months China will be making every match that she uses herself and millions of them besides for other na tions. "This is also true In various other Industries where China In the past has denended entirely upon the Japanese to furnish her with various commodities. "The Chlneso are a determined people. They have their minds set fullv on boy cotting the Japanese and keeping It up. The boycott. In my mind, will result In the greatest awnkonlpg that China has ever experienced. And this awakening will bring new factories and Industries that the Chinese never dreamed Of un dertaking themselves until tho Taitsu Maru incident arose on the horlson. - "Thoy never realised until now that they, too. could manufacture as well as Japan or any other nation. Cams Close to War. "China has been more excited over the Taitsu Maru mlx-up than anything that has transpired during tho last gen eration. It Is the opinion of muny that where tho Chlneas government made a mistake In rolng after the steamer was with a war vessel Instead of by means of a custom department boat, under whloh department such charges should be Investigated. "The Chinese have besn talking of the treatment thev received at the hands of their rivals for months, and the same subject will be the topic of conversation for months and months, snd I might say even for years. Just naturally the Chinese do not like tho Japanese. Bo China dldn t noea miwn of an excuse to start a row. Now the row Is on. "China would have one to War with Japan In a second If she had not roal Ixed that she wore the weaker nation. Kven reullrtns: the situation, the Chi nese were so worked up over the affair that they even considered war In spite of the handiest), which thov were well aware was against them. "The Chinese are also to put on a line of steamers In opposition to the Jap anese. Many of the Japanose liners start from Chinese ports. Since the boycott was started these vessels have been sailing practically empty, where beforehand thev were well loaded. Handle Own Shipping. "Millions of dollars' worth of goods eh year are shipped to Austrs Ha f rom China In Japanese steamers. This busi ness has all been withdrawn from the companies flvlng the Japanese flags. Now China proposes to handle the ship ping business herself. "The Americans and English doing business In the orient are not affected by tho boycott and are contrnulng as before. "Another important feature that the Japanese nave been compelled to con tend with Is tho abrupt falling off of the steamship passengor business out of Chinese prtrts. A Chinaman would no more think of taking r Jap steamer than ho would of coming to America without a passport." Mr. and Mrs. McLeod came over by way of Vancouver, British Columbia. From Portland they go to San Francisco. BUI III TO LOAD IIIIM Largo British Tramp Will Probably Go on the Drjdock.

Busted Oreorgl&n and H. Greeley. The old proverb about the "111 wind'' Is proved In the case of Colorado, for It Is to the disastrous financial panic of 185fi that the state owes Its beginning. That panic was caused by the gieat in flation of the currency by the Issue of State bank notes. It was a panic which struck rich and poor alike and man y fortunes were destroyed by it. Men turned toward tho west with hope for the future. Pown in Georgia the panic had wrecked one V. Green Kussell of pnwson county. He gntnereo other companions In m Isf """"'J him and one day In February. 1-S6S. they Started for the Rocky mountains. wnfnre the summer was over Kussell -,,1 , i nnmnanlnns. aided by a sciliaw found In the mountains. had founded the city of penver. This was not to be a settlement for a day or n vear. and the settlers showed by tlirir 'demeanor that success was the onlv end In eontemi teflon. The town was called St Charles ami was laid out under the laws of the territory of Kan sas of which Colorado was then a part. The name was changed to Penver In honor of General J. V. Penver. who was . nn-mrr nf I." ! V M A H That 111 wind was still blowing good to Penver. The panic, was sorely dis tressing the country and Horace Greelejr was saving "Go west, young man. rolni-Kdri told the world, by Its slow com munication through the western army posts, that ft had gold and wealth for all. The tide of Immigration turned In Its direction, and. as was the case wnn California nine years before, the ad venturer and the outlaw went along with the honest and hardy pioneer. Hut there ere no mollycoddles. "Territory of Jefferson. " By April, 1S59. less than a year after the first real settlement, the people of Colorado deemed themselves quite ready for statehood and set about ob taining that boon. A convention was called to meet In Penver. although there were fewer than 1. 000 pople In the whole territory. This convention met and with characteristic spirit de clared the section to be independent of the territory of Kansas. It then set up a provisional government for the "Ter ritory of Jefferson." selected a governor and a delegate to confress and proceed ed to do business. While the convention was In session, on April II, 1SS9. to be exact, a wagon train bearing a printing press and ac companied by William X. Hyers and 'Thomas Gibson, arrived tn Perrer. Two days later the Rocky Mountain News iru horn and Penver had a newspaper When the convention reached Its con clusion, the News took down the name of Kansas and substituted that of the Territory of Jefferson at the head of Its columns. Tho were brave days snd brave men. Tha TJsae of Fsbltclty. Denver was attracting the attention of the whol country by that time The letter postage was SO cents snd the time from New York three months. One day in June, when penver was getting ready to celehrate its nrsi oirtnuay .ni nlversarv, an Important thing happened. A coach came Into town and from It alighted thrco famous newspaper men Horace Greeley of the New York Tri bune, Albert P. Richardson of the Bos ton Journal and Henry Villard of the Cincinnati Commercial. From that day until this Penver has never underesti mated the value of newspaper public ity. The three famous correspondents staved some time Indeed, Richardson was a leading citizen of Colorado before he returned to Journalism to become a famous war correspondent for the New York Herald during tho clvat war. Mr. Greeley Is looked upon now as one of the fathers of Colorado, and a most prosperous city boars his name. Hut there is evidence that the long trip across the plains told upon him, for In one of his first letters back to New York he described the desire to go to Colorado as "madness suicide mur der." The horrors of that trip also made Greeley an advocate of the Pacific railway, a scheme first brought to con gressional attention by Thomas H. Ben ton in 1849. And to tell the whole truth, Colorado never amounted to much until the railroad came. In 18 10. Jefferson Not a Oood Warns. Through all those days the name "Colorado" was riot yet thought of for the territory. The greater part or the country called it the western part of Kansas. The few people about Penver and Colorado Springs called It "Jeffer son." When the people of the new western settlement went to Washington with a bill to create their new territory congress was torn by tho dissensions which soon woro to precipitate civil war Jefferson was the founder of the Pemocratlc party and that particular congress would not have his name In any place of honor. Many names were suggested Idaho, Tampa, Nemara, San Juan, Lula. Arapahoe, Weappolao, Ta hosa. Lafayette, Columbus. Franklin and t'olona. all havliifj tlieir advocates. As the bill first passed "Idaho" was the chosen name, hut afterward "Colorado" was substituted ut the suggestion of Senator Wilson of Massachusetts. When the territory was organized In 1860 It had 4.000 people, but the Inconven ience of the life and the call of clansring arms in tno war caiiea many or tnem back east. The tide did not again set toward Colorado until the railroad came. The Panto Colorado's Friend. If history repeats Itself, Colorado ought always to welcome a financial panic. The crash of 1S57 brought civili zation to the state, and in a less direct fashion, tho panic of 1873 brought Colo rado to statehood. The latter panic had caused great dissatisfaction with the Republican party and gave the house of representatives to the Pemo crats in 1S74, only nine years after the close of the war. Colorado wanted to be a state. The Democrats believed they had a chance to elect a president In 187ti. The Republicans needed new senators to keen live Pemocrats from cuntrolHng both branches of congress Tne Republican delegate In congress from Colorado. Jerome B. Chaffee, was to be succeeded by Thomas M. Patterson, a iwmocratic delegate-elect. Chaffee believed the new state would go Repub lican. Patterson looking at his own success believed It would go Demo- ocratlc. One convinced the Republican senate, the other convinced the Pemo cratlc house So it was arranged that Colorado should come Into the Union In 1S71, the centennial year. The first plan for admission on July 4 had to be abandoned, and It was August 1 when President Grant signed tho proclama tion of statehood. One Way TUdsn Was Beaten. The Republicans controlled the con stitutional convention In the new stnte and that body directed that the electors foil the presidential contest of 1876 be selected by the legislature, as there was not time enough to hold an election. The legislature was Republican and It selected three electors who cast their votes for Hayes, thereby defeating TU- den for the presidency. One of the TAFT WORKERS The large British stoamor Ruoranla arrived In the river this morning in ballast from Honolulu to load lumber for Shanghai. She coines under charter to the Paclflo Coast Export Lumber company. W. A, Anderson of Van couver, B. C Is hero representing the owners, Huttner & Co. of London. It is believed that tho Uucrania will have to go on the drvdock for a general overhauling, but this question will not be definitely settled until Mr. Anderson lias consulted thu captain of the big tramp. The steamer Is supposed to have heen damaged some way on her way to Honolulu with a cargo of coal for the Atlantic fleet. She was one o the first vessels to deliver fuel at the Islands for the fleet. The Bucranla will carry all of 3.500,000 feet. The cargo will bo furnished by mills of this city. It was announced this mornlnir that the charter of the Russian steamer tiun garl to carry lumber from this port to Shanghai has been canceled. The Bun- jarl Is at Guayinas, having been lylnfj uib mere several montris. Another steamer will be substituted for ih Russian, since the cargo has been bought and Is about ready for shipment. It is understood that tho Russian steamer was not large enough for I he ousincss intended. it Is said that the aungari has been a losing proposition lor some time and that her owners urn having financial difficulties. The British steamer llford will be here Monday morning from Tongue t-oint to complete her lumber cargo for Copenhagen and Hamburg. SKIPPER GETS OTORIETV. PIRATES EMPTY A SALMON TRAP Steal 5,000 Fish nnd Let 25,000 Loose Watch man Found Gagged. (United 1'rfU Leaard Wtr.) Belllngham, Wash.. Aug. 1.

QUARTERS Hitchcock Cuts Out Pull and Organizes Force of Hustlers. (Special lLpateb to The Journal) New Turk. Aug. 1. The tenth floor of the big Metropolitan Lifo building, overlooking Madison Square, presented a scene of aotlvlty today. Closeted be hind the doors of the Inner chambers men were engaged In animated confer ence, In the ante-rooms tho clerks and attendants were suavely granting or denying admission to visitors, and everywhere there wore messengers scur rying hither and thither. The scene was tho headquarters of tho Republican National committee and the occasion was the first dav of busi ness In connection with tho presidential campaign. Many visitors called today, but comparatively fow were given an audience. The heudiiuarters will not be In shape Tor real ouslness until next week, when Mr, Hitchcock and his ua slstants will tnko off their coats and be gin work In earnest. From tho headquarters In the Metro politan building tho Taft campaign will lie directed In Its every detail. Chi cago and Cincinnati will be scenes of activity In connection with the Repuhll . an campaign, but the Now York head quartern will he the fountain-head from which all Important orders will be Im sueil nnd through which all campaign contributions will flow. No Drones In This Hltre. The national committee will work In elosa harmonv with tho congressional committee, which is to have Its head quarters In tho St. James building. The two headquarters have been connected by private wire and It Is expected there will ho frequent conferences between tho members of the two committees. Tho relations between ti two In fact will be far more Intimate than was ever the case In any previous campaign. I he headquarters of the national I committee are the same ns those occu pied as local headquarters In the last two national campaigns. Hut the vis itors, today found few of the old famil iar faces. Chairman Hitch, ork has sur rounded himself with a clerical force that Is almost entirely new to the work. For the most part the clerks and at tendants are voting men whom Mr. Hitchcock terms "hustlers" The sons ami nephews of rnmnilltwnifn and oth ers with a "pull" ul(. conspicuous by their nh.'-eno. Th" committee expects that It wiil have to get along with a leaner pocketbook than In previous years, and as a consequence none but workers will be kept on the payroll at headquarters. Robert Catighell Held In San Fran cisco for Rrutal Crime. (Special Dispatch to The Journal Gold Beach, Or., Aug. 1. The follow ing article In the San Francisco Chron icle refers to Captain Kobert Caughell, wljo for some time was captain of th-a gasoline schooner Berwick and a resi dent of this county. He Is a nephew of Captain James Caughell of this place: "Robert Caughell, captain of the ferry Steamer Antelope, entered the office of O. R. Georgeson, a prominent real es tate dealer, und offered him a document to bo copied and signed In his hand writing which purported to bo a con fession of Georgeson that he had made Improper advances to Caughella wife The two men entered a private office and locked tho door. "Caughell Is supposed to have nro duced a revolver and forced Georgeson to copy the document but when tiro signature was reached Georgeson re fused to affix his name. An employe of the Freeman Art company, next door, heard a scuffle and telephoned to the police station for aid. Officers en tered the offlcs and placed Caughell under arrest. Ueorgeson was found lying on the floor unconscious and bleeding from a beating he had sustained at the hands of Caughell. Caughell fired one shot, but failed to hit his man. Georgeson, fearfully bruised and lacerated about the head from tno beating received from Caughell. was rushed to the hospital, and ut last accounts was not In a critical condition. Caughell was placed under $5,000 bonds." Caughell. after having been relieved of tho command of the small schooner Berwick, was employed as mate on the steamer Breakwater plying between Portland and Coos bay. but did not hold the position but a few trips, 'hlle here li had the reputation of courting notoriety.
