the city where many residences going up
AT the present time there is considerable physical
culture connected with the trip up and down
and in winter it has not the romantic
flavor it has in summer. If the elevator idea is
feasible practical we would suggest that the
Spion Kopie country procure a hypnotist. He
coutd meet those who were making the upward
trip at the foot of the hill, make few peculiar
passes over them and say: Now you going
down a steep hill-brace yourself you will rot
fall or sde'' and the victim going up hill would
labor under the halucination that he was going
down hill and have real jolly time of it.

The Masons are having big time in Denver
this week and whenever thy have such a time it
seems that Idaho is pretty nearly depopulated.
There appears to be tie that binds in this
organization where there is not in some others.
At any rate the members appear to know when it
is time to go.
Some scientist has discovered that if the earth
hammered out fiat, perfect sphere it
would be covered with water for depth of two
miles. Thorndyke, of the Loveland Reporter,
reads the idea with alarm, and says: eff any of
my subscribers catch anyone hammering the earth
shoot them the spot and it does't make much
difference what spot There are a whole lot of
people in Loveland who know nothing about water
and could not swim"
E. NJ sabin, the well known attorney, denies
that he is an applicant that he would even con-
slider the offer of depuyship in the office OF the
attorney general. The Denver Times has given
circulation to this report but denial from Mr.,
Sabin is enough: 81 have no doubt that the admin
istration of Attorney General Miller will be one of
the best the state ever enjoyed" said Mr.. Sabin,
"but 1 could not afford to give up my practice for
such position. Besides that it has not been
offered to me and fellow is hardly doing the fair
thing to refuse anything before it is rendered"

The position to be occupied by Mr.. Haggott,
that of lieutenant governor, will be one of the
most important in the Legislative session this win
ter if the opposition press succeeds in driving the
Democrats to a state of revolution-and the gov
ernor will be the right man in the right place for
he is not in the habit of getting disturbed very
badly and the efforts of the Democratic katzen-
TANNERS will afford very little chance for advan-
tage him. As president of the senate he will
preside at the joint sessions of the house and SEN
ate and will have a great deal to say regarding
whether the senate shall go into joint session or
not 1t is good thing for Colorado that this
sponsible position is to be filled by man in whom
the people can place confidence. All this talk
about stormy times however, is being melted by
the roitous red ink organs of the Democracy. If
there is trouble in the legislature they will be
sponsible for it and the Republicans.

During the absence of his better half the Burro
will sell his photographs at cents each, three
for quarter Those desiring the other two of
different persons have of the Burro,
of Fred COLON and one of DIR. Fraser. These
three photographs would add to the appearance of
any home in the city and superior to the cheap
pictures being advertised in the Denver papers.

The postofice department is doing good work
in its fight against the wild cat mining fakirs. Two
of them serving sentences in the peniten-
tary 1t would not be bad idea for the govern
ment to inspect several of the garng and gaudy
prospectus being sent out. There is no reason why
the people should be led into such Investments
they hurt the mining district in which they are
perpetrated and hurt mining in general

The various fraternal organizations of the city
tell me that they preparing to make the winter
one that will be filled with jolly meetings and
Jolly times. This aids materially in giving life to
the people and to the city. Whenever thing is
good thing for an individual it is good thing for
the city.
