about half of the bay stacks

stacks had been untopped or
turned over. .But to offset that,
the glorious rain was of incal.
culable benefit to the corn crop.
1t was the same way near Rens.

Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-02-14

With many Republicans Senator Wolcott
was a second choice before the recent trouble
at the state house but since they realize the
methods employed to fight him were so
shameful they are standing up for him as
against the plotters against the party. 1t
is a disagreeable and unpleasant shame.
Today the Republican party in the state is
practically i'll the hands of the Democrats
and those who favor them in little coterie
or ring formed to further the interests of
certain individuals.
We have stated before and believe now
that the state central committee should in
stitute an investigation to determine what
this deal was and if it is found that deals
were made with the Democrats whereby the
Republicans lost a United States senator
the parties to the deal should be summarialy
fired from the councils of the party In
this we believe the Republicans of the state
agree with us. Outside of Denver the feel
ing prevails that the Republicans have been
jobbed and robbed of United States senator.
It is up to the state central committee to
determine whether this sentiment is based
upon fact or not.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-02-14
STILL TALK THE TRANscoNTINENTAL.

The talk of another short cut in trans
road world and there is reason to believe
that some deal will be made before the pres
ent year closes to place Idaho Springs on
such a line. One thing is certain and that
is that close and even fierce competition be-
tween the different railroad interests will
not permit the Moffatt line to enjoy all the
privileges guaranteed by a short cut to the
coast. The cost of boring through the
range above Silver Plume is not so great
that it will forbid the work. The profit in
carrying the mail is one of the features of
success in railroading and this will tend to
hasten the work of placing this city on
such line.
There is some question as to whether
this city would be benefited by such line
or not. Some of the people insist that it
would place us on the main line SO close
to Denver that but little could be expected.
We are not inclined to agree with this
idea
The fact that Idaho Springs is blessed
with mineral springs to attract people; that
she possesses the mineral resources and all
the other opportunities and possibilities
must sooner or later bring her to the front
it is foolish to cling to the idea that she
will remain as she is or that she will take a
backward step.
If there is chance to get on a transcon-
tinental line let us aid in every way to
bring about such a condition of affairs.

IDAHO SPRINGS SHOULD READ.

On the front page of this issue ap-
pears a communication signed by the editor
of each paper here asking the St. Louis
commission of Colorado to allow Idaho
Springs to furnish the corner stone for the
building of solid gold to be erected as dis
play for the state at ST. Louis.
We believe that the idea of such build
ing for the state is a good one. 1t will at
tract attention and arouse interest where
nothing else could. If the building is to be
built we believe Idaho Springs should fur
nish the corner stone, for gold was first dis
covered i'll the Louisiana purchase territory
right here and it would be particularly ap-
propriate and fitting that the people should
know something in connection with the his
tory of the discoveries.
We trust the board will give the matter
consideration and can furnish all the proof
necessary to show that the discovery was
made here and that we are entitled to the
recognition asked General Frank Hall,
unquestionably the historian of the state,
admits the fact and others have failed to
make claims good to the contrary.
A bill has been introduced in the 1egisla-
ture providing for the erection of monu-
ment to the memory of the discoverer
and to mark the spot where the discovery
was made,
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-02-14
THE COMBINATION CONTINUED.

To those who doubted that an agreement
had been entered into between certain Re-
publicans of the house and the Democratic
members of that body the experiences of
the legislature since the senatorial proposit-
ion was settled appears to furnish interest
ing proof When the Republicans asked
for an investigation concerning the presence
of the fire and police board hirelings during
the senatorial session the half-breed .Repub-
licans and the Democrats voted together to
prevent such an investigation.
Republicans of the state need not worry.
The facts will come out before the next
election occurs and when they do come out
seventeen Republicans and several alleged
Republican leaders will be in a position
where they will be forever hiding their
heads from the public.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-02-14
ONE WEEKS SHOWING.

Siftings cannot refrain from expressing
an optimistic spirit concerning the district
and its progress. Last week two items of
supreme importance were given place in
the paper The first one contemplated the
erection of big hotel by the Blue Ribbon
company and the second one had reference
to the wonderful strike in the Matte mine
up Chicago Greek. 1t is true that the
people of Idaho Springs are so accustomed
to matters of considerable Importance that
they pay little attention to them.
So far as results are concerned, however,
these propositions are far-reaching. 1t
must be taken into consideration that hun
dreds of people in the east have invested in
the Matte When they begin to receive a
return for their investment it will afford an
impetus to the district in general-in other
words every paying stock proposition will
open up and develop half dozen new ones,
for the investor is willing to invest if he is
afforded proof that he is placing his cash
where there is a chance for it to bring him
something There can be no question con-
cerning the Matte. Were it possible for
every stockholder in that great proposition
to call and see it for himself there is every
reason to believe that they would double
their investments. Siftings is usually con-
servative and would not say this were it not
a fact The great proposition will soon be
taking the place of a half dozen shippers
that might drop by the wayside.
We have said so much concerning the
building of hotel that it hardly seems
necessary to say any more. The need is so
apparent that people cannot question it.
During the coming summer we must enter
tain the two or three conventions and state
meetings that will be with us and hotel is
the first proposition to think of i'll that
direction.
Mr.. Bradley is i'll earnest regarding the
proposition and we believe that he will sue
ceed. His company is good one and there
is no reason why the people right here at
home should not invest largely in the hotel.
With all these good indications before us,
with the work that should be done remain
ing undone let us turn our faces toward
the rising sun and lend every aid and conf
fort to those who are endeavoring to push
the district and city to the front. There is
no time in a great city and district like this
for any backward action. Let every citizen
push ahead. The closing down of one or
two mines is drop in the bucket. Helpto
open up half dozen new ones to take their
place.

The present cold snap has been bad en-
ough but the fact that it was five to eight
degrees colder in Denver right along than it
has been here affords some little consolation.
Rollinsvi1le is beginning to come to the
front as great little city. The people of
Idaho Springs can keep an eye on that
place if they want to see city that is really
growing.
That was good news that advised us of
the appointment of Jack Roberts as one of
the state land appraisers. J. c.. is always
all right and will make good man for the
place.
The Blue Ribbon hotel is one of the GER
tain things from present indications and it
is to be hoped that it is. Idaho Springs
needs first class tourist-(we have men
toned this before.)
We are in receipt of a letter from w. w.
Kirby, of the Lucania, who is now in the
East. He states that the good propositions
of this district have clear sailing and that
includes the Lucania.

A fellow who can go through the great
Matte mine and then come out and say
there is no ore in Clear Creek county is in
deed pessmist. 1t is a wonder and de-
serving of the attention it has received a
great proposition in the district.

Liquid air is, indeed, a great force but
there is some question as to whether it is as
potent as hot air Perhaps the latter
element, if such it might be called, has been
developed to greater extent. Thousands
of scientists in various lines use it.

the papers of the capitol city that colony
of Mormons have procured land in the
Clear Creek Valley above Idaho Springs

In reply to an eastern subscriber we will
say that Editor Cunningham is bow-legged.
He states that the deformity was caused
from over-eating but was contracted before
he entered the newspaper business. We
are inclined to believe he is right Our

Last week the Burro wrote little article
calling attention to some of the mistakes of
female reporters and writers on newspapers.
This week we received letter from one of
them in Denver in which she says: ''I
would hate to be your wife, We turned
the communication over to our better half
for consideration and the latter informs us
that the woman who wrote the letter is
crazy" This is worse than we ever said.
