she should have the name of the Beebee mixed in
the affair and understand that she was innocent
of the relations, alleged relations, of the pair
until just short time before the trouble occurred
The Beebee has always been hotel with good
reputation and Mrs. Wilson has endeavored to
maintain that good reputation. The violence of
the mob was no fault of hers and she should not
be placed in the position of countenancing the
frendliness of the pair that caused much
trouble.

Idaho Springs will soon have city springing
up within twelve or fourteen miles that will be
one of the lveliest places in the state. w. H.
Knowles is doing something for Rollinsville and
is man vino will show up the resources of the
pace and attract capital and population Mr..
Knowles states that the people are making anxious
inquiry concerning the possibilities of the new
city but at the present time understand that
every detail has not been completed. There is
reason why the city should not become one
of the big ones of Colorado. 1t is forty miles out
from Denver the Moffatt line and will
have mining and summer resort advantages the
Idaho Springs. Mr.. Knowles be de-
pended upon to be eminently fair in everything
and the city will not boom but have solid sub
stantial growth.
refuse to say good word for the hospitality of
Central City after the cloudburst of it the Idaho
Springs Workmen received at the hands of their
brothers in Central City. They say good things
about each other and that is fraterna1ism. There
is too much of the idea of waiting until after one
is dead before the good things are said and the
kindly acts done. have seen people lean over a
coffin and Historically kiss the lifeess lips of
some loved one that they never thought of kissing
while that loved one moving, living, human
being. Fraternaism teaches that love should be
exemplihed while people are alive and when they
appreciate it and not after they are dead
Central City Workmen loyal lot of people
They represent one of the best lodges in the state
and every fellow loves his lodge and the precepts
it teaches Idaho Springs was royalty entertained
and it is pleasure to be able to say that we lack
the power of expression to make our sentiments
understood.
Since old friend Halsey Rhoads started the
Elks paper he is even more optimistic than usual.
The last issue of the Herald contains a picture of
the mayor of Idaho Springs labelled as a man by
the name of O'Donnell. Mr.. Trathen states that
he is not Irish and that he lived in Denver
under the of O'Donnell. But Halsey has
lit piece in the paper that makes good all
the harm done by mixing Trathen and O'Donnell
and oDonnell and Trathen. Here it is:
Every once in awhile meet a man who
always things the dark side The other
day we met who thinks the country is on a
downhll pull for hades just because Roosevelt is
president and Mark Hanna is senator from Ohio
He thinks Niagara Falls evaporating and wear
ing off and Catalina island is sinking into the Pa
ci6c ocean, Salt lake is fast drying up and everv-
thing is going wrong. He is fearful that the Mann
moth is going to collapse and the sun is
going to leave the 'Fshne" business to the boot.
blacks. But despite these hapless prophets who
are doing all in their power to paint life dark
shade of black, Niagara continues to pour its un-
measured torrents majestcally the rock
ledges, Santa Catalina bushes and blossoms in the
Pacific sunshine and great Salt lake keeps right
on doing business at the old stand and will until
after the Grand Lodge of E1ks meets there next
August, and that is all we about.

People cannot always agree and it is perhaps a
good thing that we have different people with diff
ferent ideas. well known mining man met me
the other day and suggested that he was half in
clined to believe that Siftings stood i'm with the
smelter trust. Of course that man had made
mistake but he entitled to his opinion When
called his attention the fact that the smelter
trust did not need the little country newspapers
the big city dailies in its business and showed
him how foolish it to even think of such
thing he admitted that his impression was with
out the least shadow of foundation. Siftings does
not stand in with the smelter trust. 1t knows
nothing about it or never had any conversation or
correspondence with any agent or representative
of it. 1t realizes that the smelter trust is had
thing and something that ought to be suppressed
and controlled in some way. If any one will show
US how it can be done in any practical way thew
have many columns of the paper as thew
desire to make their fight and we will help them
without one cent of cost. In conversation with
the gentleman mentioned we stated that if the
principal shippers of ore of the district would pet
together, contract certain tonnage for period
