The latest railroad news is GER
tainly of great Importance to
Crested Butte, but whether or not
it will materialize, is a question
that time alone can settle. The
new route though is proposed and
backed by responsible people, and
from what can be learned the pro-
ject is being seriously considered.
From Buena Vista over Cotton
wood Pass, thence down Taylor
Sanon and striking East river near
Jacks Cabin, the new road has
been definitely decided on. From
the latter point there are two
routes by which Delta can be
reached. One is to cross the water
sheds between East river and Ohio
creek, then out by way of Kebler
Pass to Anthracite creek. The
other route is to follow the present
roadbed of the d. & r. G.. from
Jacks Cabin, and gain Anthracite
creek by way of the Ruby branch.
In the choice of the last named
route, the people of Crested Butte
are greatly concerned, and to which
they are justly entitled. Should
the road be built, it is sure to fol-
low that route which passes through
the country possessing the great
est natural resources. This gives
Crested Butte the advantage over
any possible rival, and would make
it the metropolis of Gunnison
county. The people of this COM
munity should see to it that no
reasonable inducement is withheld
that would tend to further this en-
terprise,

In regard to the arid land irri-
CATION bill now before congress,
President Roosevelt and many
Republican congressman have act
ed the part of politicians pure and
simple. The Democrats are unan-
imous in supporting an irrigation
bill that would benefit the people
of the west, but their support was
not wanted, and move was made
to get rid of it. In the first place,
Republican votes would be needed
in the west, and the enactment of
irrigation laws was sure to infu-
ence the western people. The
next move was to eliminate the
Democratic support in order that
the bill could be pointed as one of
the blessings bestowed upon the
west by the Republican administra-
ton. This was to be accomplished
by amendments that no one with
the true interests of the west at
heart, could or would support.
The most notable change made in
the bill was the amendment which
takes the government and control
in the appropriation, use and dis
tribution of the waters made avail
able by the works constructed un-
der the provisions of the act, from
the Jurisdiction of the state and
territorial laws, and placed it in
the hands of the Secretary of the
Interior. This act places one
more public utility subject to par
ty patronage and political control.

THE EASTERN COAL STRIKE,

The great coal strike in the An.
thracite regions of Pennsylvania
and which may yet extend to the
bituminous coal fields, will either
end successfully for the miners, o,
result disastrously for both parties
concerned. For eight months the
miners have been saving their
money in order to live through the
strike which they have recently de-
clared. There is something grand
in the heroic extremes to which the
laborer will go in order to wiring a
small increase of wage from a
gripping, labor grinding monopoly.
1t is an even break for the miner
to win or lose. Still he will spend
his last dollar, and go without the
comforts of life rather than work
for less than what he considers is
justly due him. Not until his
little ones stand at their mothers S
knee and ask for the bread that
cannot be had, will he weaken, and
express willingness to compro-
mise. He cares not for himself, for
he is miner, and the chances are
against him ever bettering his con-
dition so far as vocation is con-
cerned. Miners sons, too, as a
rule, are miners, and it is for their
children's sake that the hard earned
savings are spent in enforced idle
ness, trying to compel recogni-
ton of the justice of his demands,
and the payment of wages in pro-
portion to the labor expended. 1t
is condition of affairs that is sad
and lamentable, indeed. The only
remedy is to strike. Annihilation
of capital is the death of industry;
destruction of organized labor is
the death of the laborer. Both are
essentials of modern civilization,
and both must need exist. Arbi-
tration is farce, and has no place
where there is no law to compel the
observance of an agreement reach
ed by that mode of settlement.
What then is the remedy where a
rupture occurs between the miners
and the operators ? Strike it must
be, and as consequence every
pound of coal mined for the last
twenty years has been stained by
drop of blood aud the wall of an
infant.

1t is near enough to the Fourth
of July for Crested Butte to begin
making preparations for a grand
celebration. We can't afford to
leave home, and by no means can
we afford to miss the good time
the people of this town always en-
joy on this memorable day. To
say that the necessary funds can't
be raised, is no excuse, and shows
a lack of the proper spirit. No
American should fail to celebrate

COMMONER CLIPPINGS.

In an article printed in the In
dependent, Russell Sage says that
"to rail against the accumulation
of wealth is to rail against the de-
crees of justice. Those who pos
sess the qualities which fit them to
get rich will get rich. If any is to
blame it is nature" 1t is signifi-
cant that these people who con-
stantly talk about concentration of
enormous wealth being the result
of natural conditions and accumu-
lations of immense fortunes being
the consequence of exceptional
toll and ability, are always on the
alert to surround these "decrees of
Justice" and this mature" with
some law enacted for the benefit
of the few and to the disadvantage
of the many. No one rails" at
the honest accumulation of wealth.
1t is the accumulation by reason
of special privileges, given in law,
to certain men who have the time
and ability to control congress and
legislatures. The extraordinary
concentration of wealth in the
hands of few men as it is going
on today is not in line with the de-
crees of justice; it is not in line with
nature; it is the result of unjust
laws and special privileges.
1t is the duty of Democrats every
where to give general support to
their local papers. The so-called
country weekly" fills an impor-
tant place, and the result that may
be accomplished by the good efforts
of these papers, if they are prop
erly encouraged, cannot be over
estimated.

The imperialists are on the de-

creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter OF undoubted purity and Of the
finest quality, we are now bOttllng the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use of adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops In the

suited IN an inquiry for an article of
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything of harmful or deleterl.
Ous nature, and at a price that would
commend its use to all. The failure
hitherto to obtain such an article has
led consumers TO purchase imported
