Letter from F. J. Chmnhcrlln, of Denver, Concerning That Kntcrprisc. At the request of J. D. Stocker, of Jermyn, Pa., we reproduce a letter to him written by F. J. Chamberlin, of the Pueblo Consolidated Land company, which will be of local Interest: Jan. 30, 189,';. ' II r. J. D. Stocker, Jermyn, Pa.: Dear Sir I am in receipt of your favor of the 25th Inst. The property in Cplands Park owned by the Pueblo Consolidated laiul company consists of block 1,1 and the north half of block Hi, shown on the en closed map as Chamberlin and New man's Park, first filing. The Colorado Coal and Iron Develop ment company hold a trust deed of ftt.OJO with Interest from July 1, JS!)1, at 7, to gether with some unpaid taxes. As I stated In my previous letter the Development company are making some very desirable settlements, and I am well satisfied that if the stockholders of the Pueblo Consolidated Land rompany would avail themselves of a cash settlement now they will be able eventually, from this op portunity, to recoup themselves for tho Investment made In the company's stock. I can definitely and conscientiously ad vise the stockholders to continue the in vestment, provided they are able to take advantage of the settlements which ran now be made with the nevelopment com pany. The matter Is In the hands of the com pany's agent, Mr. O. M. Lndd, Pueblo, ' Colo. I shall be In Denver steadily from this time on, and shall be very glad to be of any service to the stockholders. My brother, H. B. Chamberlin, Is now In London working for the New York Life Insurance company, where he will remain tor some months to come. I believe It will be very advantageous and very desirable for a committee of the stockholders from your vicinity to come here and look Into the question of settlement with the Development com pany. . They will see Colorado In Its present de pressed condition, yet they will readily recognise .there are agencies here working zor tne development or the state, which will bring about a restoration of pros perous times as speedily as will come to any state In the Union. I hope you may be successful In getting a committee of the stockholders o come ,,to Colorado. I remain, yours very truly, y. J.

' - EARLY PLUCK AND HUSTLE Struyylcs Which Made Possible the N Scranton of Today. FOUGHT WITH EVIL AND HUE li. B. Stnrgcs, C. W. Hartley. L. II. Powell and Colonel F. L. Hitchcock Luboicd in tho linrly Days for the V. M.C. A. Some of Tbclr Good Work. That old time Ideas fall to accomplish later day results Is neuerally accepted as a fuet rather than a theory. This view has been so broadly accepted that It has permeated business, particularly. Is observed In politics und has even be come apparent. In a greater or less de gree, In religious matters. An Illustration Is offered In the old and the new Young Men". Christian association. The variety of works and purposes of the old association are not now regarded as legitimate work. The truth of this Is proved In the fuet that the grout success of the old association dates from the time Its work brgan to be limited strictly to the needs of young men, provided for In a nineteenth cen tury fashion. No Available Record. During Colonel Boles' regime and after E. B. Sturges was made president In K. B. STl'HOKS. President During Vear 1873. 1S73 thenewlife of the association began to be felt. During the years Immediate ly preceding, Mr. Sturges and his law partner, C. V. Hartley, had conducted the turbulent and memorable campaign against Illegal liquor trafllc. . Under Mr. Sturges' direction the association continued Its activities along this line. but, unfortunately, no authentic data is now available, as he made his re port verbally on June 5, 1Si4, aud no record or details remain. Many! Works Accomplished. During 1S74 the work of the associa tion under the presidency of Colonel V. L. Hitchcock, who, three years later was again selected for the position, broadened and did much good. The re ligious work was particularly molded to meet the tastes of young men, the li brary was Increased to 1.570 volumes and $1,6.3 were required for expenses. In July William Hadden, the general secretary, was succeeded by Dr. Thomas McCune, who volunteered his services. The Park Place Methodist Episcopul chapel was built at a cost of $1,269.25, a branch association with forty-five mem bers was established on the South Side, a house of shelter was maintained and an evening school was conducted In the association rooms. L. B. Powell, deceased, served two years as president during 1873 and 1876. H. H. Chapln was the general secretary untU September of the latter year. Dur ing this period the social and religious COL. F. L. HITCHCOCK, Another of the Ex-Presidents. purposes of the association were great ly advanced, and when Colonel Hitch cock, in 1877, was again chosen presi dent, the affairs of the organization were In a flourishing condition. Destroyed by l ire. On June in, 1877, the Exchange block was destroyed by fire and the entire possessions of the association were consumed. An insurance of $2,000 was used in furnishing new quarters In the Trust Company building on Wyoming avenue. The library, museum and records were destroyed In the fire and their Iosm Is all the more Irreparable be cause the offices of Colonel Boles and Mr. Sturges, two former presidents, were also burned and contained indi vidual records and papers pertaining to the Association. . At this time there was no paid secre tary. T. H. Roe, however, devotod n large portion of his time to the duties of secretary until February, 1878. Such are a few, briefly stated, facts Of the early life of the association, which are all the more Interesting when compared with its more recent history and present position. Scranton was then in 'lbs swaddling clothes and was not the lusty, booming city of many people, wealrth nd commerce of today. The start of 'the Young Men's Christian association was, in Ms endeavor, Impulse- and gait, on a par with the busi ness enterprise which made the present municipality. ANNUAL MEETING.

More coal trains will be running on the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern road today than on any day during the past three months. The men are In hopes that It may be an auspicious omen for Improved trade, but there Is no reliable, duta upon which such ex pectutlons can at present be founded. A neat little novel entitled "Snowballs to Oranges" Is being distributed by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company, and in an Interesting manner describes a Journey from "The Icy North to the Land of Flowers." The authoress is Miss Helen R. Ingram, and the con cise and simple languuge makes the story Intensely attractive. The Journey described Is a most picturesque one, and after a perusal of the book the reader has an ardent longing to traverse the land so well delineated In the words and beautiful pictures. The Lehigh Valley Railroad company nas issued a general order to the eon ductors which went Into effect on Sat urday. "Hereafter all persons not hav ing a ticket must pay the excess charge of 10 cents, and any person refu.sinir to pay the excess must leave the train at the next station. No exception to this rule but do not put oft passengers where there Is no station. The 10-cent excess charge will be refunded at any station upon presentation of the check as heretofore." In putting oft passen gers the order says It must be done with "civility." The passage of the bill known as the "commercial travelers' bill," by the united States senate, which amends thi lnter-state commerce law so as to per mit the sale of Interchangeable mileage tickets to commercial travelers, may re sult In giving the commercial travelers what they have been after for some time past namely, a 5,000-mile ticket good over all roads. The 1,000 mile tickets now sold by several of the roads at 2 cents per mile aie good only over the road which Issues thc-rn. Thus, the commercial traveler hus to buy mileage iicsets irom eacn oi tne lines over which he travels. Some of the roads are now selling interchangeable 5,000- mile tickets, but others decline to do so, and their reason heretofore was the Inter-state law prohibiting the Issue of such tickets. Emory R. Johnson, Ph. D., of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, in a recent lecture at Carbondale on "The Rail way Corporation," noted the fact that the capital Invested In American rail way stocks and bonds Is $10,506,235,419. This great accumulation of working capital Is due to the Investment of small sums from numerous sources, which would lie Idle to a great extent wr It not for the corporation. Again the cor poration is the poor man's best, friend because It gathers to gather the small portions of capital, cheapens the cost of production and distribution and In creases opportunity ' for employment. The Delaware and Hudson Dr. Johnson considered a typical railway corpora tion, because its system embraces every means of transportation: Canals, train ways, gravity roads and stationary en gines and roads built for locomotives. Their system covers 700 miles and con nects the Susquehanna with the St. Lawrence. Dr. JohtiBon might have added that It Is prudently and success fully managed; that Its relations .with Its employes are cordial and that It Is making money while a good many roads are losing money.
