II the traveller ON the Colorado Cen.
trail road will notice as he passes through
the western suburbs Of Idaho Springs,
he will observe an old log cabin, one
story high and insignificant in general
appearance, yet there was connected
with this building a history closely
woven with the affairs of Clear Greek
county. Twenty-four years ago il was
the court house within whose walls all
the business in the then new section of
country was transacted. Here were IT,
corded the location certificates. dccds
etc., OF the cary pioneers. In the same
building at that time a young man had
his law Office. and between times of
making a few dollars in defending some
one or prosecuting some other he
worked as clerk for the recorder.
Great changes have taken place in
Clear Greek since then. Cities have been
built and handsome residences and costly
public buildings reared. The old log
court house has been exchanged for a
more commodious structure. and the
young man who worked rs attorney and
clerk now occupies tn proud position
of secretary Of the interior in the cabinet

In the rear of q cigar store in Eighth

which constantly turned out sheets of
names. Dealing in names was the mans
business. All around him were shelves
laden with cardboard boxes full of
names, on sheets like those he was
printing. on the edges of the shelves
were printed strips bearing the words:

culars, publishers who arr starting
journals and want to introduce
them widely, inventors who have
something they want 10 bring
10 the notice of certain class
of persons, and sd on. For instance, a
man who has invented beer faucet got
from me the names of brewers and
saloOn-keepers, another man who de-
signed new form Of memorandum book
