VICTORY FOR STATE TICKET.

A prominent Democrat of Denver thus
sizes up the situation: "We cannot beat
the Republican state ticket but we can,
with the assistance of Senator Teller's
name, secure the legislature and elect
Democratic senator"
This expresses the sentiment of the
leading Democrats. They are expend-
ing every energy on the Legislative ticket
with no hope ahead for the success of
their ticket in the state. The Republi-
cans claim that with the most ,conserva-
tive estimates they will come to Arapahoe
county with a majority of from 10000
to $4,000 and the widest manipulating of
the fire and police board with the slum
element and the repeaters cannot hope
to change these results in Arapahoe.
1t is the duty of the outside counties
to teach Denver lesson. Colorado should
resent the shame that is heaped upon
her every year by the open and fragrant
violation of the election laws in Denver.
Let every voter place himself in
position where he can work and vote for
the entire ticket. Good, honest work
between now and election time will count.
Thorough organization is needed in
every county in the state. Organization
is needed in every voting precinct in
every county.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-10-04
THE COUNTY NOMINATIONS.

The adjourned session of the Repub-
lican county convention at Georgetown
last Saturday accomplished good for the
party and placed in nomination two gen
tlemen who will be elected by the people
of the county on the fourth day of No
vember. The Republicans believe that
the people of the county desire honest,
conservative, careful, prudent and eco
nomical county government. They be-
lieve that in the next legislature the peo-
pie should be represented by man who
will make the same success in legislation
that he is capable of doing in business
affairs.
w. P. Clough, of Empire, the Repub-
lican candidate for representative, is a
man who is most favorably known in his
home town and one who will meet with
favor where he meets the people. He is
a good business man, good mining man
and one in whom everyone has confidence
He ought to be elected by majority
that would again place Clear Creek in
the list of counties where progress and
prosperity are recognized as factors to
success.
Thomas Barnard, the candidate for
commissioner, is a resident of Idaho
Springs, former mayor of the city and a
business man against whom not one
word could be uttered. He is, besides
being popular man, a gentleman who
commands the respect and confidence of
those who have known him for years.
A pioneer in building up and never
man to tear down. Mr.. Barnard is pru-
dent in everything and a man who will
not be smitten with the idea that pub
lie Office is private snap for himself and
relatives.
Every dollar of county money in
trusted to his care as a commissioner
will be spent just as Mr.. Barnard would
expend it in the careful conduct of his
own business. Every days work done
at the county expense will be a full days
work. He will be an honest and fair
representative of the interests Cf every
section of the county and is above the
petty chickering's that have characterized
the action of the board in the past four
or five years.
Georgetown will give him big vote
because the taxpayers in that end of the
county are interested in retrenchment
the same as they are in this end of the
county. There is little doubt that he
will be elected.

CHANGE IN SENTIMENT.

The rally and reception to the state
candidates on the Republican ticket at
Georgetown and Idaho Springs last Sat
urday was the best evidence of the mani
fest change of sentiment of the people of
Clear Creek county. 1t would, perhaps,
be unfair to state that they had changed
their views on the great financial ques-
tions, for frankly we are not inclined to
believe they have.
The change has been brought about
by this condition: There is absolutely
no hope for legislation, such as the peo-
pie would desire, from the Democratic
party at this time. A majority of the
states of the Union where Democratic
conventions have been held, have shown
themselves to be in direct opposition to
the Kansas City platform. 1t is openly
stated in the Democratic papers that
David B. Hill will without doubt be the
next Democratic nominee for the presi-
dency. What can the people hope fer in
the way of a change in financial condi-
tions with David B. Hill as nominee or as
president?
Former Republicans will never vote
a Democratic ticket in preference to a
Republican ticket where there is no
greater hope held out for the white
metal by Democracy than there is by
Repu ublicanism. In other affairs Repub-
licanism is two to one favorite in the
West and always will be.
Another factor responsible for the
changed sentiment: During the past
eight years conditions in the state under
the rule of fusion and Democracy have
been bad and the people are beginning
to realize how bad they really have
been.
These factors are contributing to
Republican success in Clear Creek county
every day and in the other counties of
the state as well. There is no reason
why the facts should not be stated
plainly and fairly. Siftings has promised
the people that it would tell them the
truth in the present campaign. 1t does
not propose to open its columns to petty
abuse e-even should the Democratic organs
conclude so to do.
Many of the voters of the county were
afforded an opportunity to meet Mr..
Peabody and the other candidates on the
Republican state ticket. They found
them gentlemen who represent excellent
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-10-04

business ideas and men who will give the
affairs.
Their appearance in Clear Creek
county has accomplished wonderful
amount, of good for the Republican
ticket.

Advice az to Frosted Flax by Prof. BoIIey.

The early frosts have placed many Of
the fax growers in a quandary as to what
to do with the crop which has been hit
before maturity. Some think that the
crop should be harvested as soon as pos
sible after frosted. Our experience does
not indicate that this is good policy. If
wheat is cut green it natures fairly we'll
because the grains are attached to a
strong, thick stalk. If, however, flax is
cnt green, the very small branches upon
which the bolls are growing, wilt and dry
up at once, thus cutting off all ascent of
sap. The grains must then be shrivelled.
The main stems of the fax plant are
large and stand much frost. Unless the
frost has been hard enough to freeze
through the bolls and thus kill the green
seeds, flax will ripen yet. provided it
does no get a very heavy freeze.
l think from previous observation that
there is much to lose by cutting green
frosted fax and nothing to gain. On the
other hand there is very much of such
frosted fax which will ripen, indeed a
large percentage of the bolls upon each
plant. My advice is that frosted flax
should be allowed to stand without cut
ting until there is danger of some seed
being lost by Smelling. This is bound to
give a better grade of seed, for it will
cure better as it stands. Green frosted
flax is very APT to mould and spoil in the
bundle or bunch.

Spiders.


Spiders are an ~unsociable, misan-
thropical race at the best Of times and
usually regard each other with the
most uncompromising aversion. This
1mbitters all social intercourse, so that

his brothers. web is received in q man.

Hospitality entertaining his visitor mine

disappears from view or promptly pre-
pares to fight him. Eviction is not his
object, but capture, with Interior de-
signs upon the body, which with a wise
forethought the master Of the house
already destines for the larder.
But putting aside these prudent con-
siderations it is a grand albeit a say
age sight to witness the encounter
when the combatants are we'll matched

advance, with a delicate testing Of
threads on both sides; the willy feint,

Above the plate windows is beautiful

Two doors from the store lead to the

Bishop Mann on The Bad Lands.

"Mr. Dobbyn, Mr.. Freeman and left
Dickinson early on pleasure bent by a
freight train for Sully Springs. Catch
ing this train was the first of a series of
good fortunes which ran through the
day. On the train was an official who,
when we reached Sully Springs, sent a
hand-car, during the noon hour, a couple
OF miles down the track to the point we
wished most to visit. Here we saw one
of those burning coal strata, OF which
there are several in the Bad Lands. 1t
has been burning, no n knows how
long. We could trace its course far
back through the buttes by the scoria in
to which it had turned the slate and
clay. There it burned, not with a blaze,
but with a logged, fierce, white-hot glow.
Looking down into the slanting hole was
like looking into the open doorway OF a
blast furnace, and all around lay the hills
of the bad Lands" with the red belts of
the scoria along their TANKS and even
on their tops, showing where similar fires
had gnawed along, ages and ages ago.
After seeing this we understood much
of the geology of the region. We had
been warned to look out for rattlesnakes,
but met none, though we saw several
cast skins. They were enough.
Returning to the station we went to
the real "Sully Springs" a mile or so
away, where we found delicious water
and ate our lunch. Then a kindly ranch
mar drove US some four miles to a point
where one gets the finest panorama of
the bad Lands" 50 Mr.. Freeman says,
and he ought to know, for he has tray
ersed them time and time again with his
camera.
MI, Dobbyp and myself then boarded
the train for Medora, where, meeting
Mr.. Eaton, we were by him taken to the
"Custer Trail Ranch" that most hospit-
able and comfortable spot in all the glo.
rious "Bad Lands" There we spent the
night and most of the next day, receiv.
ing every kindness"

All the Salne.

During an encampment Of the nation
al guard Of Pennsylvania Mt Mount
Gretna several years ago a party of Of
fcers went out for a stroll, and, hap
pening to pass q farmhouse neal the
encampment grounds, one Of them sug.
gested stopping in for a glass Of milk.
On going inside the yard they were
met by the farmers daughter, who
brought forth a can Of buttermilk and
some tumblers, saying:
"This is the only kind of milk we
have"
After each of the party had taken a
drink one Of them remarked:
"By George, that's fine! Can't you
let us have some more?"
The lass replied:
"Oh, yes; take all you want. We feed
it to the pigs anyway."-Philadelphia

We are pleased to have for Jul readers
this week a fine cut of P. A. Moir's new
5000 store, which is a credit to its own
er and to the builders and a great addi-
ton to the city.
The building is advantageously stu
ated on lot FL, block 3, on the east side of
Barnes street.-the new bushes street.
and is half a block from the post office,
First National bank and Willard street.
The architect was A. L. Flegel Of RAJ
cine, Wis.,, and the building speaks we'll
for the firm.
Connolly & Bake of Dickinson had
the contract for the brick work and
like all their work-it is we'll done. The
front required much skill in brick-laying,
but they were equal to it, as the finished
work testifes.
L. K. Granteer had the contract for
the woodwork and did it in a most
thorough and painstaking manner A
careful inspection will not reveal the
least conspicuous part sighted.
The painting and finishing by c. E.
Dickinson is on a par with the rest of
the work-well done.
The building is rs feet front, with a
depth of 50 feet, and is two stories high
with basement under the whole. The
basement walls are of native stone laid
in cement. The superstructure is of
Dickinson brick from the Dickinson
Fire and Pressed Brick Company's plant,
The front is of white pressed brick,
with trimmings of carved buff stone.
The carved stone across the top shows
plainly in the cut. Below this are pan.
