The Cripple Greek lines give all of the
newspapers N the tate several points and then
win ea~Il, as the hest effor of the year The
work an honor to the district and certainly that
much and uore to the enterprsing proprietors of
that paper We believe the time is coming when
the people will insist thai the great, big bungling
Sunday edi1ons and special editions be printed in
book frm that the reader get some idea
OF the swamp of matter contained in them.
The Times has taken the lead and we hope that
others will fllow.
People abusing Senator Patterson because
he does stay in Washington and attend to his
business. When he is in Washington they accuse
him Of failing to attend to his business there. The
truth of the matter is that Senator Patterson's
business right is IN the line of doing all he
keep Senator Wnlcott from being returned
to the senate The Republican statesman if sent
back TO Washington will undoubtedly show Sena-
Tor Patterson that the people of the West are not
wholly represented by politician with such crazy
quilt ideas. 1t is the opinion of those familiar
with the two that they could keep Colorado
to the front. 1t would be a blessing to Colorado
to have in Washington who was equal to
the task Of making Mr.. Patterson appear in the
role he should appear in It that of political trim
mer If Senator Wocott is returned, there is not
man in Colorado who could tune the Patterson
piano with the scientific art that he could.

Well, how about the chamber of commerce
and its activity for the next twelve months2 Last
year it not so bad. but it easily be better
in this year of our Lord
The Georgetown Courier insists that the wom-
an of the half world who committed suicide in
that town last week was formerly resident of
Idaho Springs. We understand this is a mistake,
but even if it is true we can readily understand
why person who has resided here in Idaho
Springs could commit suicide after brief resi-
dence in Georgetown.
To give an idea of the enterprise of the Idaho
| Springs merchants it is only necessary to state
that several of them propose to open up stores in
! Rolnsville as soon everything is in shape We
understand that a grocery establishment cloth
ing establishment and lumber yard will go from
this place. According to all accounts Rollnsville
! is liable to become of the really strenuous
| little towns North of Denver during the coming
| year. Over 1000 graders and railroad employees
will be practically ''at home" in the new town
during the summer. dozen or a score of camps
will be working toward Rolnsvle from the West
and from the Denver side and, of course, Rollins
vile will become the headquarters for the social
functions of the society the grade. We can i'm
agine what 1900 railroad graders would do, and
also imagine that Colorado will have one
more town such she had in the days of yore.
Mr.. Knowles will be in charge of the town and
that will be in its favor for he knows what new
towns in the West represent and knows how to
handle the characters that infest them At any rate
there is every to believe that Rolinsville
will be city before another year has passed and
that those who want to see a revival of the siren
uous life in the West be accommodated soon
by going over to Rollinsville.

The Central City Register-Call issued an ex-
cellent new years edition and claims production
of over 81 ooo,o for the camp. The increase over
there has been recognized as being remarkable.

Georgetown is coming to the front in royal
! style. In conversation with Mr.. Olds and "Miz-
zou'' Branham coming up on the train the other
night it refreshing to note the loyal style in
which these gentlemen fought the battle for their
home city and talked and sung its praises. few
more like this pair to keep the good words in cir
cuation and the old idea that Georgetown was
still poutng oyer the fall in the price of the white
metal would be dissipated.
