George E. Turner, a business ratan of Denver, is the designer of "Tiny Town." Originally he intended mere-, ly to build, a toy village, partly to amuse children and partly to adver- tise his business. To -day, "Tiny Town" is in many respects a faith- ful reproduction of a mining town of the 70's, with its old-fashioned hotel, grocery store, "general emporium," hall and •railroad station, against the mountainsides are per- . rect. reproductions of the mine struc- tures of some of the famous gold mines of Leadville, Crippie Creek, Idaho Springs and Black IIawk, A bridge spans a "river" near the little railroad station. An ore wagon, drawn by sit cast-iron horses, stands on a enoiintaiit road, headed for oue of the mills. There is now a complete residential section to "Tiny Town," all built to scale. Every building and all of the streets are electrically illuminated at night. so that travelers in Turkey Creek can see the lights twinkle for, a considerable distance. Inside a little "cathedral," with twin spires, a loudspeaker has been installed, and on Sundays the strains of a choir may be heard to issue from it. The loudspeaker is connected by wire with a phonograph in Mr. Turnsr's bungalow, a short distance away. Some time ago Dir. Turner, finding that his hobby was taking too much attention from his business. turned it over to others after eight years' work or it.

Labor in Queensland Cape Argus (Capetown): Queens- • land of late years has been dominated by an oligarchy of workers, mostly unskilled, while the luckless primary producer fills the role of the coolie. Widespread discontent prevails and confidence is so gravely impaired that capital is rarely obtainable for new projects. Such a state of affairs is truly remarkable, for Queensland ought to be immensely prosperous. It is the largest of the States of the Commonwealth except Western Aus- tralia. Leaving out Russia, it is greater than any country in Europe, So rich is its soil and so varied are its serources, that it could be made capable of supporting in reasouable plenty a population of many millions. Actually the population of this coun- try is less than that of Melbourne, the second largest city of Australia.
