The state is going to send a large number of people, and if they will all register and get together while there, they can land the $150, silver cup. This trophy has been offered by the V. Z. Reed Investment Company to the state, province or commercial body that sends the largest delegation. Last year at the Spokane Congress, Montana won the prize with 397 registered, after a spirited contest with Idaho, Western Washington and Canada. This year towns within 100 miles of Colorado Springs are barred. Exceptionally favorable rail road rates are offered and the Congress program and exposition plans are of such an attractive nature that great crowds are as sured. It would be quite a feather in the state's cap to win the Reed trophy, and it can be done by a little and hurrah. The best way to do it will be to organize a g club in Congress" every county and work with the agri cultural school people.

In the brief account given last week, it should have stated that the decision was based on the motion f counsel for defendant to' dis miss the complaint, the chief grounds for such motion, being that the city ordinance under which the defendant was sought to be prosecuted was void, for che reason that the record of the passage of the ordinances in luestion did not show that a yea and nay vote had been taken as required by statute.
