Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-02-21
At last we reach the peep O dawn.

At last we reach the peep o dawn.
Idaho Springs-with its two great re-
sources-the mineral and the tourist-has
applied her energies to the one while the
other slumbered Even the mineral re-
source is ten years behind its possibilities.
For two years we have pounded week in
and week out in the hope that it might at
tract some ones attention to the need for
hotel for Idaho Springs. Parties have Wis
tied the city, looked over the field, became
enthusiastic and departed talking of hotels
to cost half million or qnarter of mil
lion or some other fabulous sum.
All this has been enervating rather than
exhilirating to those familiar with condit-
ions and those inclined to favor a course of
conservatism i'll all investments made i'll
the district.
James N. Bradley succeeded in perfecting
the title to his property that had been in
mitigation for years about year or a
little more ago. He at once began to renew
the work of years ago in that direction and
today it looks as if he had, in cooperation
with the members of the Blue Ribbon Min
ing, Milling and Investment company,
opened a field that will soon mean a great
deal for Idaho Springs and thousands to
the stockholders in the company.
Mr. Bradley is not inclined to talk much
concerning the proposition and for that
reason we are compelled to write this in
general way, rather than in detail. He adj
mits, however, that his company purposes
to erect pretty hotel on the hill where his
house now stands overlooking the city and
that at the tunnel portal splendid bath
house will be built to accommodate those
who are desirous of taking the baths.
We have looked the matter up carefully
and believe-as matter of fact have reason
to feel assured-that the hotel and bath house
will be built and that work will begin
within sixty days. Inquiry to the Council
Bluffs office of the company and to those
who have abundant capital to finance the
proposition indicates a willingness and
an understanding as to how it will be done
and what the cost will be.

The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1903-02-17

John F. Stevens, formerly chic
engineer and general manager of the
Great Northern railway system, is
really out of the service of the road
mentioned and has jumped both jobs.
This news was conveyed briefly in
a press dispatch of Thursday, but
was so unexpected and so uneXplain-
ed that it seemed almost as if mis-
take had been made, railroad men
and others familiar with the Great
Northern conditions refusing to credit
the rumor until official confirmation.
1t was known that since the eleva
ton of Mr.. Stevens to the position
Of general manager of the Great Nor
thern that the position of chief engi
neer was to be filled and the eleva-
ton of Mr.. A. H. Hogeland to that
position was expected, he having
been assistant for some time past.
Official confirmation having come
of the stepping down of Mr.. Stevens,
those familiar with the conditions
are busily specializing how it all hap
pened. One of the reasons assigned
as the most probable is a quarrel
with Mr.. Hill over the matters con-
nected with the coast line. Mr.. Stew
ems had been on tour over the coast
two weeks ago and at Everett injured
his foot so severely as to be unable
TO walk, and during that time he was
in Great Falls On his way back to st.
Paul, and was unable to leave his
car. Naturally he was not feeling
pleasant, as interviewers learned
with a vengeance. Mr.. Hill has been
to New York. and judging from the
hard luck stories he has been hand
ing out to the ssOciated Press, he
also was not in his most cheerful hui
NOR. Both men met in ST. Paul and
it is limited that about the same time
came a wire telling of the stalling of
a passenger train in the new Cascade
tunnel and the almost death of a
number of passengers before they
could be rescued. Mr. Stevens was
father of the work upon the great
tunnel and perhaps was held respon-
.sible for the stalling of the train in
question. At any rate, it is said that
there were a few words and that Mr..
Stevens walked out Of the room on
his injured foot and Mr.. Hill was out
general manager at the same time
Whatever the reason, Mr.. Stevens
has really quit. and his many friends
in this city will be sorry to learn of
the fact, though Mr.. Stevens has a
large fortune of his own and the wolf
will not bother his door bell because
of the change-Great Falls Leader.

POST OFFICE CLOSES.
And Doors Are Locked When Clerks
Are Absent

Owing to the prevalence of holdups
that have occurred in small towns in
the western states in the past, the
post Office department has issued in
structions that all outside doors must
be locked after Z p. M, whenever all
employees are absent. This order was
the cause of a general roar last Fri
day night when it first went into ef-
feet in this city, and the postmaster
was the recipient of all kinds of
abuse. Whenever the trains are late,
the night clerks are allowed their
liberty, but are required to make up
their time the next day.

For Toting a Pistol Under the Re.
gulatiOn Size.

Alex McGrif, COL, was con.
victed in Magistrate Caskey's
court Monday of carrying an un-
lawful pistol-a pistol shorter
than 20, inches and weighing less
than 3 pounds. This is the first
conviction in this county under
the cannon act and the first we
have heard Of in the State though
the Law has been on the Statute
books for about year. The charge
against McGriff was carrying u
concealed pistol. The magistrate
charged the Jury that if tho evi.
dence did not show that McGrlff
carried the weapon concealed but
showed that it was an unlawfu,
pistol he carried, they could find
him guilty of the latter offence
under the indictment. The SON
tence was S16. or 80 days. Nc
Griff paid the fine.
McGriff was also convicted by
a jury of entry on land after no.
tice and received another sentence
of S15. or 80 days. He arrang-
ed to>pay this fine as also another
of $40. for assault and battery to
which charge he pleaded guilty.
