THE mail route from Crested Butte

Maroon from Gothic, and our mail to
Aspen and the Springs has to be sent

THE Republican and Democratic
parties, in Colorado, have too muny
heads; when it comes to elections, sides
should be chosen, and the leaders Of
the. different parties should unite upon
their nominees. The recent Republi-
can rumpus in Gunnison and Pitkin
counties, is thing that should not oc-
cur. Citizens should interest them
selves sufficiently to bring harmony in
to the ranks Of the party in both coun-
ties. Leaders could benefit their par
ties by uniting, instead Of one trying
to gain more supremacy than the
other. In our district the Democrats
have leader who is recognized, and
that is Capt. A. j. Bean. His party
cun feel proud of their choice, and
when he concurs in their actions, mat
ters move along smoothly. Why can
not Republicans take lesson, and do
likewise.

On last Saturday, in company with our
friend, j. N. Chlds, with ''Boliya" to pull
us, we visited the eastern portion of our
county. How far we went, we cannot say,
as we did not see Il mile post after leaving
the Bronwood district, but suppose we
were some twelve miles from Bronwood
on the road to Albany. We were surprised
to find such beautiful and fertile lands so
near our poor pine lands, and when we de-
eide to migrate will seek a spot in that
portion of the county.
A preacher passing Bronwood,a "a few days
ago, said that three places on this road had
changed names within the last three years,
viz: Brown Station, Ward Station and
Hell 1t is now Bronwood, Shelman and
Sheol. That preacher will never eat any
chicken in our town, and if his name
could be known he would, perhaps, have to
pay full fare.

council should take steps at once
to guard against all danger from
this source. The most feasible
plan yet suggested is to require
all dogs running at large on the

The JOURNAL was in error last
week when it stated that the gavel
presented by Councilman Hood to
Mayor Baldwin was never used in
the Confederate Congress, as was
intended when made. This gavel
was used February 4th, 1861, at
Montgomery, by Howell Cobb to
call the first Confederate Congress
to order. When Congress was
removed to Richmond, Va, the
gavel was not forwarded, and
came into the possession Of Major
Hood, of Dawson. 1t is now used
by Mayor Baldwin to call the
Dawson City Council to order.

Dawson has cow which Eve
feel constrained to say who), for
scientific attainments and artful
practices, is not to be sneezed at
by any COW in christendom.
With true spirit of independ-
ence, born of the air she breathes,
she does not depend on her mas
ter for food, but gathers her liv-
ing, as do the sharpers of New
York, from innocent and unsus-
pectlng countrymen who visit our
town for purposes Of trade or bar
ter. This COW has been seen to
approach a buggy with the digni-
ty of q queen ut a drawing
ROOM" and, carefully lifting the
cushion from its place, ex-
plore the box underneath for edi-
bles. Sometimes her persevere-
ance is rewarded, and when she
has filled herself (or at least emptied
the box), she deliberately and
carefully replaces the cushion,
destroying all signs of her visit ex-
cept the aching void under the
seat, and leaves the astonished
owner, on his return, to wonder
what spirit Ct good or evil has
been tampering with his buggy.
These facts are vouched for by a
reader Of the JOURNAL.

'Rah For Dawson and Terrell County

Every Northerner that comes

surprised and pleased with the ev-

which he finds here. Recently,
Col. Bent, Of Boston, spent sever

an altogether new impression of

even yet, have a very imperfect
understanding Of the South.
