Driftwood as Fuel

People who live on the New England
coast like to use ocean driftwood as
fuel in open hreplaces. 1t is impreg-
mated with copper and ocean salts. and
when burned gives out the most brill
liant colored flames. 1t is asserted that
a New Bedford dealer has orders for
the wood from all parts of the coun-
try, and even from Europe, and ships
hundreds of barrels OF 1t yearly. Var
ious attempts have been made to i'm
itate this wood by artificial process,
but without success. Long submersion
in the sea water is necessary to pro-
duce the brilliant flames.

GREAT SILVER LEADERS.
Two of the Most Distinguished
Advocates Visiting the City,
Senator Teller and Con.
0rcSSman Shafroth
Qressman ShafrOth.

At present there are two gentlemen in
this city who represent in themselves the
most advanced thought upon the ques
tion Of bimetallism, they are Hon. Henry
M. Teller, senior senator from this stats
and Hon. John F. Shafroth, congress
man from the First congressional dis
trict.
Both these gentlemen are interested in
Grand valley property and have a warm
interest in everything pertaining to this
city and valley.
Since the presidential election OF 1896
these two men have been working for
the rehabilitation OF silver and have new
or let opportunity escape them to work
for the white metal. There has been
no debating on middle ground with
them, in season and out they have been
faithful advocates OF the doctrine OF the
famous campaign for William Jennings
Bryan.
The oncoming OF the present cam
paign finds them working side by side
for the same cause. This morning Mr..
Shafroth took occasion to give Senti-
mel reporter some idea of the present
campaign. He said in part that he
could see no reason whatever why there
should be any change made by those
who advocated the cause OF silver in
1898. The issues were identically ths
Same and a man who supported Mr.
Bryan then had more reason for doing &c
now.
He said so far as he was concerned he
would make the battle on the lines OF
silver. He had no doubt whatever that
the state Of Colorado would roll up as
large majority for Bryan as it did in
1898 and that the campaign talk of the
republicans that they would carry the
state or even a majority OF the members
Of the legislature was all fudge. They
had no such belief themselves and it was
only campaign talk.
Mr.. Shafroth is a candidate for con-
gress from the district that he has rep
resented ard will make his fight as a
silver man.
Senator Teller will speak in this city
Saturday night and will speak broadly
upon the momentary issue, than whom
there is no better authority in this coun
try. 1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Shat.
roth can stay and also speak from the
same platform.
