PUEBLO LAND COM PAN V.'
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. Chamberlin.

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.

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.
