Boulder, Colo, Jan. rs. 1000.
Mr. Editor:
have bee some hat interested in the
correspondence in regard to the pro
p osed new electric line from Denver and
while am not in the habit of rushing
into print" to air my views. l cannot for
bear saying a few words on this subject
on behalf of the merchants who have
been placed in a false light by some of
the previous correspondence.
In the FIRST place, if there is any oppo.
sition to the new road BY the merchants
it Is surely by individuals. for all OF the
business men with whom have talked
on the subject express themselves OF the
opinion that the new road will be great
benefit to all the institutions of Boulder.
do not believe that the man who signs
himself Merchant" and opposes the
new road fairly represents the views If
the merchants of Boulder. He certainly
expos es himself to the criticism Of being
the tool of 4 railroad corporation instead
of representing the views of the merA
chants. Even il he believes that the
new road would injure the merchants he
should be broad minded enough to favor
an ything chat will benefit the great mass
OF our population.
But will the new road injure the mer.
chants? Do they tear the competition
of Denver? If SO. why!
In our city to lay sugar is retailing be-
low the Wholesale price in Denver.
Many lines of canned goods are selling
= Al Sov hal q
be bought by the case in Denver. In the
grocery line competition is SO Close right
here in Boulder that Denver does not cut
any figure whatever.
The man who writes in the Represent
alive under the caption of a Boulder
Business Man is either ignorant of facts
or he wiltully rnisrepresents them when
he says that man can pay his fare to
Denver and then save IS per cent on the
goods which he buys there. l wonder
how much the Denver merchants pay
him for advertising for them. Such men
as he and Merchant" are the kind who,
to carry out their own selfish purposes
kill town by dsiving away the trade
which is the life of any city.
In conclusion do not Relieve that the
opposition comes fiom the merchants.
II any merchant in this city is afraid Of
competition from Denver he had better
get out of business as soon as possible
for believe the new road is coming in
spite of opposition from lichen covered
fossils who impede the path Of progress
and drive away trade from our beautiful
city by telling the people that the mer-
chants fear the competition of Denver
or that Boulder people can save money
by purchasing ali their goods away from
home. ONE OF THE GRoCERS.

THE BRITISH SPY.
Something About This Highly Paid
English Army 0mciaL

The word spy" has an ugly sound
owing to its many unpleasant associa-
tons, vet In war time spies afford an ar
my aid which Is as valuable as II IL high
ly remunerated.
One OF the maxims for commanding Of
fcers in book for their guidance writ
ten by Lord Wolseley is that a successful
spy must be petted and made much OF.
The management OF spies is very difficult.
Out of every ten employed by the officer
commanding n war district he Is fortu-
nate IL one gives him truthful informa-
ton. 1t Is q most important thing that
spies should not be known to each other.
Great care Is generally taken by officers
that each spy shall imagine that he Is the
only one who is employed.
1t is very necessary that all bona hde
spies should have about their persons
some means OF proving themselves really
to be what they represent themselves.
For this purpose n coin of a certain date,
a Bible of a certain edition. a Testament
with the seventh or fifteenth leaf torn
out, are generally employed.
By these means a spy who was employ
ed by an officer in n neutral state making
his way to the headquarters Of the army
in the field could thus at once make him
self known TO the intelligence department
there. In some instances II Is considered
that a password or sign should be en-
ployed, as it is less compromising. The
putting up of the right hand to the ear
and then to the left ear or some such ges-
ture is generally employed.
The more extensive the ramifcations of
the system the better are the chances of
escaping detection. II is very necessary
that officers of the intelligence depart
ment should be provided with specially
prepared paper upon which letters can be
written in ink that does not become visi-
BILE until II has been submitted to some
chemical process 1t Is also necessary
that commonplace letter in ordinary ink
should invariably be written on the same
sheet OF paper containing the information
that il is required to keep secret.
Although a spy runs the great risk of
immediate death il be is detected, yet the
service is not without glory at times, and
It is certainly extremely lucrative.-Lon'
don Mail.
