last Sunday morning when he read in the
Denver News that the bill to establish Jack
sons Park had passed the house without
alteration on third reading and was ready
| for the governors signature to become a
law If this is all true and the governor
signs the bill it is victory for the people
of Clear Creek county. Senator Roberts,
Representative Kneisel, Representative
Keen, of Pueblo; John Vivian and Mr..
Frewen are to be especially thanked for the
good work accomplished for the bill. But
above all the good workers has been Senator
Roberts While he is a Democrat we be-
lieve he is entitled to credit in a Republi-
can paper, Democrat or any other kind of
paper. The writer was with him person
ally when he followed the bill over into the
house from the senate and made loyal
fight to get it out of committees, pigeon
holes and the scores of other hiding places
bills of this character are liable to get placed
in. And Johnny Vivian did a nice thing
for Clear Greek county in connection with
the bill. Keen and Frewen, Republican
members exerted every effort they possibly
could SO that taken all round it was a
pretty victory for the county Siftings
took the matter up last fall and the writer
introduced resolution at the annual meet
ing of the chamber of commerce asking the
members of the legislature to introduce the
bill and providing that such measure be
drafted. While the appropriation carries
with it but s. 900 yet it will answer for a
start and this is the essential thing. The
legislature of the state has recognized the
historical fact that Idaho Springs is the
cradle of the gold and silver industry of the
state and this means great deal. Every
one who has been in anywise connected
with the measure is deserving of praise for
the good work accomplished. This is the
way to make city great. A little action
at the right time along the right lines will
amount to good deal. When the time
everything goes through in good shape, the
entire state should be invited to come to
Idaho Springs.
SolIL1URS has DCCl UlOdQ CuOuSh dho iiO-
era1 enough to stand up for every section of
the district and for that reason it is pleas
ure to note that Santa Fe mountain is fol-
lowing in the line of the Chicago Creek
district and forging to the front in great
shape We do not claim to be endowed
with the power of the expert in any dir
ection but are inclined to believe that the
old mining man who has lived in the dis
trict for years and put in twenty or thirty
years of hard work knows about as much
about the conditions and formations in the
district as some one would who had gradu-
ated at some school miles from the scene of
action.
Managing Editor Moore, of the Federal
Tunnel spent Sunday in Denver where he
could attend church and enjoy himself.
During the absence of Mrs. Moore he is
having good time. When asked why he
becomes so light-hearted he remarked: II
received a letter from her stating that she
was having a royal good time visiting.
The fact that she is enjoying herself makes
me feel so good that 1 can't refrain from
enjoying myself" There are few men so
thoughtful.
