They Ate Oysters.

A. f. Miller and John Harmes
are the two members of the Flor
ence Gun club who have made
straights throughout the series of
six shoots of fifteen bird contests
in the Out Door Life tournament.
E. l.. Deibert, q. M. Deibert and
Frank Johnston are seconds.
The club is confident of winning
the gun, but on the shoot off of a
possible tie they may fall in the
average already made. If there is
tie it will be shot off in the
"miss-and-out" plan, repeatedly,
until the winner is finally deter
mined. The results of such miss
and-out" shoots are to be trans.
mitted to Out Door Life within
three days after their completion
These ties will be shot off the first

HOW ABOUT FTP

THE TRIBUNE desires in few
brief remarks to bring a matter of
some Importance to the attention
of local business and professional
men and others.
Twenty years ago Florence had
no population. The natural Sc
quenoe is that any citizen of Flor
ence who is more than twenty
years of age was born somewhere
else, and came to Florence later.
AS rule, they did not bring all
their friends with them; conse-
quently nearly all Florence citi-
zens have friends elsewhere, and
these are scattered all over the
whole United States. No small
proportion of these distant friends
are people of marked intelligence,
even if they did not show it by
coming to Florence. Who, for in
stance in Floreuce, has not friends
in Denver, Colorado Springs or
PuebloY h
Well, the idea is just this; Flor
ence citizens are going to send
copies of the Twentieth Century
Souvenir Edition of THE TRIBUNE
to their friends. The edition is
going to all parts of the country
and to every state in the Union.
1t is safe to say not person here
in Florence will fail to read it.
That's all. It's up to you, busi-
ness men, professional men, citi-
zens, advertisers Are you coming
into the Twentieth Century Souv-
enir Edition?

New Machinery for the rline.

The coal mine belonging to the
Black Diamond Coal company is
coming along all right. A hoist
ing plant and boiler is on the way
to the mine and is somewhere be-
tween Silver Cliff and its destina-
ton. The coal vein is twenty
eight feet thick and fourteen feet
of it is good coal. 1t is thought
that little later on an output of
from fifty to 100 tons can be main
tanned daily. At least orders for
that amount have already been Sc
cured from the mine owners in
Silver Cliff and Querida. Four
men are now given employment in
the mine and when opened to a
greater extent about twenty men
will be worked. This force then
will be able to work the mine to
advantage, as they can easily mine
the amount called for in the orders.

Is the Proposition Dead?

What has become of the CO.
operative laundry? For the past
two months the people of Flor
enoe were told that the town would
possess laundry that would en-
ploy force. of fifty people before
the first of the year, but if the
work does not progress more rap
idly in the next few days than it
has, it will be some time after
that date before the laundry is
begun. There is ample field here
for such an institution-one that
would be worked on the principal
that this one was to be- Today
there is between $500 and $500
worth of work going weekly from
Cripple Greek district to Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo, and
with purer water in Florence than
in either of the above towns, Flor
ence it seems, would prove a
drawing card for some of this
work. Florence wants the insti-
tuition and unless more headway
is made in the next few weeks
than has been made, the town will
wait long time before it can
count this proposed cooperative
laundry as one of its real indus
tries.
The story of the new Russo
Siberian play, For Her Sake,
which comes to the Florence opera
house tomorrow night, promises to
furnish a notable example of
dramatic construction in the nice
balance of comedy and dramatic
effects. 1t is story in stage
form of Russian life, love and in
trigue, embracing many phases of
society, from the palace to the
convict mines. The cast is large
one and it contains the names of
several especially well known
players in the domain of high
class melodrama.
