will look up the couatics and townships containing suffi- 

 cient indemnity agricultural lands with water possi- 

 bilities, the object being to secure the land in one body. 



We are presenting herewith an illustration of this 

 town site plan. Prominent negroes throughout the 

 country are becoming interested, and it is the opinion 

 of the promoters of the project, that much good will 

 come to the colored race as a result of this move. 



The citizens of Colorado, generally, are lending aid 

 to this movement. As soon as the registrar of the Land 

 Board announces that his report has been received, a 



committee of the subscribers will be selected to go out 

 in company with the state engineers to investigate lands 

 and location. 



Any one who is interested in establishing such a 

 race enterprise can subscribe to the capital stock of the 

 prospective company. 



Complete information and literature will be fur- 

 nished by Mr. 0. T. Jackson, whose address is E. F. D. 

 No. 1, Boulder, Colorado. 



After sufficient subscriptions have been received 

 the names will be submitted to the governor of the state 



CAPTAIN JIM: HE SAVES LIVES. 



The life-saver is never a demonstra- 

 tive fellow and rarely communicative; 

 also, he lacks imagination. You can 

 argue with Captain Jim by the hour 

 that his life is a hazardous one. and 

 of exceeding interest to those engaged 

 in more peaceful pursuits, but in vain. 

 Only the details of his daily duties, 

 which are many and arduous, seem to 

 appeal to him; the romantic side, the 

 perilous side he sees not at all. He 

 will talk by the hour of life-buoys and 

 life-lines, of night signals and wireless 

 telegraphy, of searchlights and motor 

 life-boats; but of himself, who is the 

 life and power of it all, nothing. 



The government report is the sole 

 history of our unpretending "heroes 

 of peace." and a very dry history it is. 

 The story of San Juan Hill has been 

 told in newspapers, magazines, and 

 books in detail and at length. But of 

 nearly twenty thousand wrecks and 

 rescues not a word is printed, save a 

 bare record of the time, place, lives 

 and property saved. 



In every instance a small band of 

 men went out to a mortal struggle, 

 sometimes right up to the verge of 

 death. A few went over the verge, so 

 simply and quietly that their names 

 remain unhonored and unsung. They 

 battled alone, far away from towns and 

 cities, and the applause of watching 

 crowds. They had the direst odds to 

 contend with, and. no stimulus save 

 that of their own stout hearts and 

 sense of duty. In nearly every in- 

 stance they brought to huddled 

 wretches staring death in the face the 

 glory of life, and they gave sunshine 

 and joy to many a home. But of them 

 scarce a word has been told. 



It is impossible to cite even a few 

 daring, almost superhuman, rescues; 

 it would be unfair, too. to the rest of 

 the twenty thousand, and, suffice it to 

 say. that in these wrecks, since 1891, 

 more than one hundred thousand souls 

 were at stake and saved with a loss of 

 less than one in 'one hundred. From
