AT the earnest solicitation of some
OF his many friends Mr.. Willet Rose
has consented to become candidate
tor mayor of our town. No better
man could be selected. He has had
ten years experience in the mountain
towns OF Colorado, having been in the
milling and mining business in George.
town and Leadville before coming
here, and is therefore thoroughly con-
veTsant With the wants ofa community
OF this kind. The..6rm, of which he is
the senior member, have more capital
invested in this camp than any other
concern with the exception of perhaps
the Pioneer stamp mill, and of course
his interest is identical with every
citizen here. He is no politician but
a thorough practical business man,
which is always needed in a position
OF that kind. Who will be the candi-
dates fo- the rest of the board We do
not know, but it is time that some
thing is being done. Whether the old
board is going to run or not we do
not know, some say they do not want
to, but whether they say no and mean
yes that we do not know. We have
heard Pete Grow and Kelly Cookson's 5
names mentioned in connection with
the Office of clerk and recorder, both
of whom We have no doubt are compe-
tent to fill the position. 1t is not a
question of politics at all, but of
popularity and the qualifications Of
the man.

1t is reasonable to suppose that
every person who was here last SUM.
mer viii be here again this summer, as
everyone who visited our camp last
year expressed themselves as being
we'll pleased with their visit, while not
few of them become interested in
property here. Well now if all come
who were here last year, certainly
some Of them will bring. friends with
them. Last year the railroad only
reached Gunnison, and a great many
people who were not use to staging,
came that far and and no farther.
whereas, if the road had been complet.
ed to the mountains they would have
come to see US. This year the road
is completed to Crested Butte, within
eight miles Of US, and by mid summer
the cars will be running into this
point on two different lines, and
another reason Why We should look
for prosperous times this summer, is
that as the camp grows older it i.
becoming more and more developed,
proving to the world what We have
always sald it would be, the best true
fissure camp in the country, and We
honestly believe, after two years exper.
fence in the camp, watching the
developments closely, and taking a
conservative view of the outlook, that
there is no locality in the state that is
50 inviting for the investor as the Ruby
Mining District IS to-day. The reasons
above cited are what ve hasc our vievs

CRESTED BUTTE BALL.

To say that the "grand ba!l'' at the
Elk Mountain House, Crested Butte,
was success would Ee Justification,
and as we do not like to falsify we
will answer in the negative. For days
before the evening of the party the
young men of Irwin had hauled out
their society clothes from the bottom
Of their trunks to get the wrinkles out
of them, while the ladies had corraled
all the benzine in town to take the
Transportation stains out Of their white
kid gloves, thinking that it was to be
very recherche affair, as it was ru-
mored that all Of Gunnison and part
of Denver was to be TUNED loose
there, and 1rwinites do not propose
to take back seat for any of them in
the way ofsociety loving people. To
the number Of about twenty went from
here FIVE ladies and the rest gentlemen.
When we all wen. into the hetel about
SIX O'Clock from our sleighs the Cres-
ted Butte people who were loungins
about, seemed to say in their looks
30 Lord! what fools these mortals be-"
to come way down here for ball. At
about eight o'clock the doors to the
spacious dining room were thrown
open and the guest assembled therein,
the music being in readiness, but it
was soon discovered that the Irwin
ladies' had not made their appearance,
when messenger was dispatched to
the parlors to tell them everybody was
waiting on them, who on his return
announced that they would be down
as soon as Mrs. Coffin got her gloves
buttoned to the number of 444.
FINALLY down came Mr.. Cullom and
Mrs. Coffin, Mr.. and Mrs. Colborn,
DR.. Forhan and Mrs. Wilson, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ayers and Mr.. and Mrs. Smith,
when the music started up grand
march to the tune of Sherman march
ing through Georgia with variations.
After the march they paired of for
waltz, most OF the Irwin young men
standing in the corners all dressed in
full evening costume la Reasonable
Abe. During the whole evening the
parties from the different towns SEEM
ed to huddle together, seemingly not
to intermingle very much for the want
of being acquainted, and there seemed
to be very little desire on the part Of
the home people to make any new
acqu2lntanceS or to make any one
acquainted. The Irwin ladies were
complimented several times On being
the most stylish and finest dancers in
room. The supper was the best feat
ure of the affair and reflects great
credit on the caterer as well as the
house which already bears the reputa-
ton of being the best in the county.
Dancing was kept up un.il a late hour,
when all retired only to get up in the
morning and take sleigh ride Of eigh
miles which was also pleasant feature
on the programme. Notwithstanding

IMPORTANT TO TRAVELLERS.

Rates of fare to the Missouri River
have been perceptible reduced, and
to all points beyond the tariff was nev-
er before SO low. It is therefore the
best opportunity ever offered to 70
East for business, or to visit the old
home and the old friends around which
memory fondly clings. In this con-
nection it is interesting and beneficial
to consider what has made the Dem
yer and Rio Grande Railway the pop
ular line tor Colorado travel, and given
1t over ninety per cent. ofthe through
business between Leadville and ada
cent mining camps and the East.
The causes stand out in bold relief.
1t is the only railway owned and man
aged in Colorado-that earns and
spends its immense revenue exclusive
ly In the State-and that is to-day
dong more practically for the mater.
lal development of the commonwealth
than all other influences combined.
Its encouragement is therefore a mat
ter OF interest and pride with every
good citizen.
1t is the onb line possessing every
foot of the way between Leadville and
Pueblo and Denver, a track of con-
tlnuous heavy steel rails, and a substan-
tlal road-bed Of rock and gravel bal
last /; rendering it the only railway in
the State on which respectable run
ming time can be made with safety.
1t is the only road between these
points having To-. and uniform grades,
and avoiding dizzy and dangerou,
precipices. The bridges are for the
most part ofiron, andgNs curves nice
ly adjusted.
Its passenger trains are equipped
throughout with Westinghouse Aat,-
na:e Brakes, and Miller platform.
and Couplers. These appliances, no,
possessed by any other mountain line.
are the only ones which keep trains a,
all times under perfect control, insure
smoothness of motion, and the nearcs,
approach to absolute immunity from
danger.
Its coaches are models Of el-ganc,
and comfort. Handsomely upholster-
ed chalr-cars, with 5aykhoa<d toilet
rooms, are run on day trains, and M,e1
magnificent Pullman S!eepers are al.
tached to night trains, supplying am
pie and luxurious accommodations fol
its myriads cfpatrors.
For diversity and grandeur of seen
cry the line is unequaled in the world.
The beautiful and populous cities oc-
curing at regular intervals, add charm
to the route, and remind our active
people that they are in the lonely and
out ot-the-way places OF earth.
Excellent connections are made in
the Union Depot, Denver, with -four
daily passenger trains eastward over
tee Union Pacific lines-two via Kan
sas Division to Kansas City, one via
Cheyenne, and one via Julesburg to
Council Bluffs. The latter now forms
the short and quick line between Den
yer and Chicago.
In addition to these, close connec-
tons are made at Pueblo with two
dailytrains over the popular Atchison,
Topeka, and Santa Fe, affording the
same through time to Chicago as is
made via Denver and Julesburg, and
fsvelve A0x,s quaker time to Kansas
City, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and all
central and southern points than can
be made by any other route.

devised by the railroad and coal interests.
Then some Rock Island people came on to
this city and went to Senator Kellogg.
Senator Kellogg swore he had never intro
duced any such bill. They then interview
ed Senator Kellogg's clerk, and he, after
ransacking the files, found that such bill
had been placed in his hads, and that the
Senator had introduced it. Senator KEEL
logg then disclaimed all responsibility for
it. He said it must have been smuggled
in with other matter, so that it escaped his
attention. He assured the Rock Island
people, however, that they need not fear
anything so far as he was concerned.
The people of Rock Island, however, are
very suspicious. Senator Kellogg is an
old Illinois friend of Captain Robinson's,
and they fully recognize how easy tits TO
slip such measure as this through Con-
gress without attracting notice So a
close watch in the interest of free tolls
will be kept by the sharp eyed Rock Island
delegation until the defeat of the measure
is certainly secured.

The entries will close next Wednesday,
and every assurance has been given that
the various purses will be filled by large

The grounds will be repaired during

ing will be the presence of a large crowd

COUNTY HOSPITAL.

The recent action of the Board of Super
Visors in postponing consideration of the
subject of appropriating money fora coun-
ty hospital, until the July meeting, has oc-
casioned considerable comment
The motion to defer action was made by
Mr. Stoddard, of this city. Some one
pretendeds to say that, while Mr.. Stoddard
favors the project in general, he is oppos-
ed to the location, on the ground donated
for that purpose by Mr.. p. L. Gable. 1t is
even limited that Mr.. Stoddard has some
property of his own, which he considers
well adapted for hospital purposes, and
which he might besindnced to sell to the
county.
Another motion on the part of one of
the Supervisors. was to secure legal adj
vice as to the propriety of appropriating
money for such an object.
The Board at the January meeting, appro-
priated $4,000 for hospital provided the
Hospital Association, of this city and Mo
line, raised a similar amount. This has
not been accomplished.
The question naturally arises, if &c.
600 can be appropriated for such pur
pose, why not double that amount

FUNNY.

A paper, whose editor has been reading
the Rock Island county official organ at
800 per year, give the organ the following
send off:
It makes us laugh to see, in almost every
county exchange, that Mr.. Somebody
''has accepted a situation" with some mer-
camille firm. This way of putting it con-
veys the idea that Mr.. Somebody has taken
the job only after long solicitation, and by
dint of many golden inducements being
held out to him. when the fact is that he
has been coaxing, and wheedling, and
planning for that place, and getting all his
friends to recommend him, for the biggest
part of year. And then he only gets
about $12 month, and has to pay his own
board
