s A LAST WORD, I must acknowledge my obligations 

 to all who have helped to make it possible to print this 

 little book. It is not possible to mention all of my helpers. 



Tw^o names, however, deserve to stand out conspicuously. 



Mr. Frank H. Drexel of Crawford, Delta County, and Mr. Walter 

 Hawley of Fort Collins, Larimer County, did especially valuable 

 work. Besides these, Mr. Frank Rauchfuss and Mr. R. C. Aikin 

 have' earned particular thanks. Then there are the advertisers: I 

 am proud of every one of them. 



Of course the Souvenir is not as handsome or as valuable as I 

 originally hoped to make it; but I think it is worth keeping. 



D. W. WORICING.
