DIR. Branham is being followed however, an
Georgetown will be mighty lively old lady if sh .
follows his advice. Frank is a native of Missour
but believes such fellow do Just as muci
good in the world as if he had been born in tn
United States. He has heart in him as gener,
ousy large the big veins in the Georgetow
district. hope he meets with success-he dc
serves it. The who builds up is entitled
credit. while anyone tear down The meanesv
outside of the graveyard can do harm, but II
takes fellow with something in him besides y
sour stomach and lot of vegetables to do good in
the world. D.
1t is too bad that the chamber of fcommerce can
not devise whereby it can advise tn =
people who travel over the Colorado and SoutherS
that they have stop-over privileges here in Idah
Springs. 1t is proposition that the people,
should always keep in mind and wherever it i
possible to say do something to advertise tn .
fact, the word should be said and the deed shoulh
be done. At the present time the Loop trip is thu
greater attraction because the people are not fai
miliar with what they find in Idaho Springs
We ought to tell them of the hot springs the batlt
privileges, the Trocadero, the scenery, the climatS
and every one of the blessings that has been Law
ished upon the place by a kindly nature 1t is adj.
vertising this direction that counts We believs
the chamber of commerce should arrange it so tha
every passenger leaving Denver would get someA
thing in the shape of an advertisement telling hin
what he would find at the Springs in case h,
would stop over and make the Loop trip the mex
day. There is reason why something shouldr
not be accomplished in this direction. If Siftingn
can aid in any it will only be too glad I'd
do so.
George Kimba the scandinavian evangelist
of Missouri, is doing some pretty dialect work OFT
the Excelsior Springs Call which he is in charg{
of with Mr.. Slingerland the present time. Hi
Swedish stuff is the best written in the United
States today and 1 believe George is making t
mistake when he refuses to make it a specialtyl
that will win him fame and fat pocket book
Here is of the poems that is good it Will b.

1t is to be regretted that the editor of the Gil
pin County Observer became as caustic as he did
last week in referring to the celebration at Idaho
Springs. We have received four commucations
from representative people of Central City dis
claiming any connection with the sentiment ex-
pressed by the editor and discountenancing and
critcising his action. 1t is stated that the post
master has received two letters and the Gazette
two or three half dozen people from Central
City have stated in this city that the article in the
Observer did not represent the feeling of the peo
pie there. The article unfair untrue and
abusive. We cannot imagine why the editor who
wrote it should entertain such feeling for Idaho
Springs. There is no reason, however, why the
people of Idaho Springs should say that the entire
family is wrong because it happens to possess one
idiot Central City is not responsible for the arti
Gle any more than good father and mother would
be responsible for the birth into the family of a
freak of nature. If the editor did not have good
time it is to be regretted. The people of Idaho
Springs did all they could to show every visitor a

minded brother was present without guardian
he would have gladly shown him everything to be
