A NEW ROAD
TO PORTLAND
County Commissioners Inspect
the Proposed Route.
WOULD MAKE SHORTER DRIVE

The county commissioners yes
terday were viewing the new pro-
posed road from Florence to Port
land. A petition signed by about
500 residents and property owners
was presented to the county com
missioners, praying for the opening
of Sixth street and for the con-
struction of public road from the
end of that street to Portland, thus
shortening the distance to that
point about one and one-half
miles This road was thrown open
once, Senator McCandless and A
r. Gumaer donating strip
through their property 100 feet
wide, but the county commission
ers at that time did not like to put
the county to the expense required
in establishing the road.
Now, however, they are willing
to respond to the popular demand
of the public and put in good
road from Sixth street down by
the hot springs aud on to Portland
This would make an elegant drive,
passing along by Mango park and
the grounds which are laid out and
graded so beautifully by Mr. Gu
maer, and then on by the hot
springs, which some day is bound
to become popular resort for
Florence and Cripple Greek people,
thence on to the cement plant,
making an almost direct route
from Portland to Florence.
1t is stated that the commission
ers are perfectly willing to put the
road in right away if they can get
the proper encouragement from
property owners along the proposed
route, and there is very little doubt
but this will be accomplished, as
Mr. Gumaer and Mr. j A Nc
Candless own most of the property
from town to the hot springs and
both gentlemen are always ready
to favorably respond to the needs
of the public BY all means let
us have the road and have it right
away. 1t is a necessity as public
highway.

A BOLD ROBBERY.
A Telluride Miner Relieved of
S3.2So in Notes and Coin.

Robert Williams, Telluride
miner, who formerly lived at Rock
vale. was rolled here last evening
and robbed of 50, $50, three thous-
and of the amount being in the
form of certificate of deposit on
the First National bank of Pueblo,
and $3.50 in currency and coin.
AS a result of the affair several
negroes were placed in jail last
night and today suspicioned OF
being implicated in the robbery
Williams was drinking yester-
day and seemingly felt joyous be-
cause he had the money and
showed the deposit slip to several
persons in different saloons. Sew
eral people had drank to his
health.
AT o'clock in the afternoon
Williams aud some negroes are
said to have been drinking in
Smith Il Cavanaugh's saloon and
it is believed that it is here where
he dropped his "wad" and it was
on account of this occurrence that
some of the colored population
WIS jailed
Later in the evening he had
made his way to the Rio Grande
depot and while waiting for a train
to Cripple Creek fell asleep on the
depot platform. Employees of the
depot telephoned Marshal Tabor
that drunk man was asleep on
the platform and that they wished
HIM cared for.
This morning two tourists, !"
named John Smith and James
Skulley, found a pocket book, con-
tanning the deposit slip less the
coin on the depot platform. where
Williams had fallen asleep, and
returned it to Marshal Tabor
1t is believed the guilty parties
had laid the stolen article there
early this morning, as during the
time that he was awakened and
1870 this morning the platform
had been traversed by fifty differ
ent people and no signs of pock-
ct book could be seen
Williams twelve years ago WAS a
resident of Rockvale and had
worked in the mine there, but
since then had worked in the
silver properties at Silveton and
it is there where he made his
money.

What Causes FOgs.

Fogs are, generally speaking,
caused by the precipitation of the
moisture of the atmosphere. They
are formed when a warm stratum OF
atmosphere comes IN contact with a
cold stratum or with portion of the
earth's surface, ss q hill, by which it
is cooled 30 that 1t can no longer
hold as much moisture in solution as
before. This causes the frequent
fogs in the mountain regions. When
q cold stratum of air comes over q
moist, warm part Of the earth's sur
face, a fog is also formed. This is
the cause of the mists that appear
over lakes, rivers and marshes in the
evening, since the water is then
warmer than the atmosphere above
it. The blackness and density OF
London fogs are caused by the sim

Hurtful Gossip.

One of the greatest evils OF our
day, getting the unconscious sup
port Of many of our best intentloned
people, is the sln of gossipping about
persons. Indulgence in gossip is
like indulgence in drlnk-there is no
happy medium which it is safe to
adopt. The line never can be drawn
where drinking or gossiping can be
safely done.
Good women, everywhere should
frown down all beginnings OF per-
sonsl discussion of harmful nature.
If one must criticise persons, or dis
cuss them in any way except in kind
ness, let it be done in their presence,
where they may have an opportunity
for defense, or at least explanation.
We have no right to suppose or
supply motives; we are forbidden to
judge.
Gossip has made wounds for which
there seemed no balm; it has injured
regulations with an entirely unmer-
tied stain. Many life has gone
scared to the grave by the breath
of thoughtless meddlers and tattlers.
A true woman is not given to
wounding another. Womanhood
should seek to shield not strike, even
the fallen. With life so full of stir
ring events, what time have you to
listen to set of idle takers, actuated
more often than not by a spirit of
malice and envy? It is not always
the blameless one who is most eager
to condemn. The sinless hand rarely,
if ever, casts the first stone. If one
half the industry were used to Guilt
vate kindly habit of speech, to un
veil the better side of humanity, that
is devoted to the collection and dis
semination of hurtful and evil ru
mors, there would be less of the
"leaven of unrighteousness' scat
tered through the worlds three meas
ures OF meal. It is we'll to avoid a.
person who comes to you habitually
full of condolences and communica-
tions which would not bear telling in
the presence of the person under dis
cussion 1t is a homely old saying,
and q true one, that "the dog that
will fetch a bone will carry one
away"
