1t must be lots of fun to be chronic
kicker. People always pay dearly for
it Local kickers have knocked local
enterprises out and EVERYBODY suffers
in consequence. Some try to build up
while others just as industriously try
to tear down. But the subject is too
disgusting to contemplate Salida Mail
Leadville's prospects for business re
viyal is full of promise for the near
future The pumps for several large
mining properties have arrived and are
being placed in position to operate.
The output of water will be large for
the next three months after which the
mines so long inactive Will again help
TO swell the production of wealth from
this district. Then the prosperity
which has been promised since. last
spring should commence to materiaiize.

An enterprise much needed and we
understand soon TO be begun is fac
tory for the making of apple barrels,
boxes, etc. We are Informed by the
gentleman who intends to engage in
the business that suitable timber is to
be found in abundance in the noun
tains and they can be placed ON the
market much cheaper than they can be
obtained from the East with freight
added. An undertaking of this kind
will be appreciated by fruit growers

We who are permitted to live in the
delightful climate of Colorado cannot
realize the extent of the heat plague in
the Eastern states where hundreds are
being prostraied, hundreds dying, many
have been driven to insanity and others
have sought relief in self-destructinn
Here in Colorado, we are enjoying a
climate all that can be desired, while to
the East of us they are reaping har-
vest of misery while suffering is every
where While eommiserating the lot
of the unfortunates of the East at this
time we should not forget the people OF
Colorado are peculiarly blest in han,
ways.-Aspen Times.
AS an evidence that Colorado is suf.
fering from the ruinous financial policy
adopted by both old parties at the die
tation OF the money soligarchy of the
East, to less extent thsh the older ana

country, we note that the Denver <
Rio Grande Railroad recently declared
a semi-annuaI dividend of per cent on
its preferred stock, and further, that
this is the sixth similar dividend
declared by the ID. X RIG since the
panic of 1898. How many Eastern rail
ways have done rs well since that date !?
Congressman John +. Shafroth of
Colorado has got the bulge on the MOI
etary commission, now ii. Europe in Il e
interest of silver Mr.. Shafroth has
introduced bill in the House provid-
ing for free coinage -I6 to /. Mr.. Sha-
froth Will hardly meet with the success
in this matter that he did when he
played chess. 1t is perhaps all right to
mix and bake pancakes that ven know
you cannot eat until next season. Ii
may be all right for the Widow Green
to buy silver door plate at auction on
which the name of John Smith is en-
graved, because Mrs. Green may marry
Smith some time. II may be all right
to buy a dozen of eggs now to set next
spring. 1t would not be wrong for an
engaged couple to pick out name for
their first baby now. And perhaps the
introduction of a free coinage bill in
Congress now. when there is no more
hope or chance for it to be even read
than there is for Grover Cleveland to
wear n lo-inch collar, may be a good
coup. but we fail TO see where the
gazelle comes in, Bro. Golden
