An agitation has started in the North
Park country in favor OF separate
county organization. At the present
time ii is part of Larimer county with
the county seat at Fort Collins. Itneeds
only glimpse at the map to see that
separation into two counties is inevitable
in the near future, and it is simply n
question of how soon the western half

soft coaI and Clean EIues.

The tendency Of pipes and furnace
fues to fill with SCOT at this season of
the year is so marked that any sug-
gestion of a convenient remedy for that
condition il worthy OF serious consider
alton.
A correspondent TO the st. Paul Pio-
neer Press says that zinc burned in the
furnace is very effective. Just throw
upon the fire handful OF zinc filings,
or piece of sheet zinc as large as your
hand, and it clears away the SCOT as il by
magic. Once week will suffice. Shut
the door quickly after throwing in the
zinc. Our informant says his family has
used this method for forty years and
never had occasion to employ chimney
sweep.
As the Pioneer Press suggests, this
remedy is not expensive. A worn out
ziuc washboard will furnish enough of
the metal for six or eight occasions. And
II you buy sheet zinc. twenty five cents
worth may suffice for single fire all
winter. Even when soft coal is used in
hard coal stoves and furnaces, the zinc
will keep them open, so that those who
have been unable to secure anthracite

CHANGE IN STREET CAR ROUTE
abandoned Between Adamston and
Shinnston.

The people residing along the route
OF the proposed street car line between
Fairmont and Clarksburg have on this
end OF the route shown an unfriendly
spirit toward the movement and have
put high prices on the rights OF way.
These prices are regarded SO exorbi-
tant and out of reason by the COM
pany, thatit has determined upon an
other plan and the chances are the
line will not run along the river from
Adamston to Shinnston, but will take
an entirely different route. 1t is pro-
posed to run the line from Shinnston
up Tenmile creek to Lumberport.
thence to the red bridge atthe mouth
Of Gregorys run, thence up Gregory's
run and down Johnson's fork to Will
sonburg, and thence to Admission to
connect the system with here. This
proposed route willcover a distance OF
eleven or twelve miles. Surveyors be-
gan work on this route Tuesday. 1t
will in all probability be adopted If
the property owners along the route
Show liberal spirit in reference to
the price Of rights OF way. The pro-
posed change will be of great advan-
tage to those residing along the new
route, but unfortunate to the people
residing along the river between Adj
amston and ShinnSton.

Good show billed.

Opportunity is all that is required
for the development OF some power Or
skill that may be latent. Andrew
Robson has, from. immemorial been
considered the stage ideal Of an Adonis
OF courtly wit and faultless modern
garmentry, and none there were who
believed him an actor of pronounced.
romance besides. 1t was happy
thought to divest Mr.. Robson of his
nineteenth century garb and bedeck
him with the colonial habiliments OF
the polished Richard Caryel Of the
eighteenth century according TO the
reigning novel of that name by Win
ston Churchill as dramatized by Ed
ward r. Rose. Andrew Robson!s now
accepted as the great actor byreason
OF his change of line of work, andthere
will be chance for our theater.goers
to attest this when he comes to the
