Will the -
Thirteenth
Be Lucky ~

IT is probable that by May 18th, Mr.. Car
negie will decide as to whether Idaho
Springs is to be the beneficiary of his gen
erosity, or not Chairman Bush, of the
library committee of the chamber of COM
anerce, stated this week that he had reason
to believe that shortly after May I3, the
citizens would know whether or not, their
appeal for the SIC, 900 library had been in
vain. @'I feel we'll satisfied myself, said
Mr. Bush, that we will get the library
building, for by meeting the conditions so
promptly, the citizens of Idaho Springs, by
their city government, have set the exam
pie for some of the other cities in this line.
"I appreciate the fact that there are
many inquiries made concerning the con-
,ditions precedent to the acceptance of the
proposition, but these must of course come
later on-after we have been advised
whether or not we will get the library, and
when the matter gets in such form that the
final contracts are to be made"

Like Mining Investments.

The following poem has been received
from DIR. w. A. Harris of Monee, Ill.
He is quite heavy investor in mines
and mining and has the right idea con-
corning it. Inclosed with the verses he
says: "This might be applied to
tough mining propositions"
S'pose the fish don't bite at fust;
What be you goin' to do?
Chuck down your pole, throw out your
bait,
An say your fshin's through?
Nv course you hain't; you're goin' to fish,
An fish, an fish an wait
Until you've ketched your basket full,
An used up all your bait.
S'pose success don't come at fust;
What be you goin' to do?
Throw up the sponge and kick yourself,
An go to feelin' blue?
Nv course you hain't; you've got to fish,
An bait, an bait again.
Bimeby success will bite your hook,
An you will pull him in.

Heavy Tourist Business.

The officials of theColorado & Southern
predict an exceptionally heavy tourist
business during the coming season.
General Passenger Agent Fisher states
that so far as early reports received
would indicate there can be little doubt
that the Loop trip will excite more in
terest than it ever has before. Besides
this the trip to the glacier at Yankee
Hill and the dozen other little resort
points opened will afford considerable
addition to travel. Parties in the east
are getting ready now to make the trip
to the Glacier and letters received would
indicate that Yankee Hill will have its
full quota of visitors this season and
even larger number than it ever had
before. At Brookvale and Indian Club
Park, both in this county, there IS con-
siderable interest being shown IN the
erection of new summer homes and in
the latter place dozen have already
been built and fully half dozen will be
added during the coming year.

In another part of the paper we call
attention this week to the success of the
new treatment of low-grade ores in
Boulder county. AS we go to press
word comes from inside and authentic
source that the same company is arrang-
ing to esta blish mill of the same char
acter in this district One of the gent
lemen connected with the process has
written a letter to friend in which he
employs the following language: "From
the tests received and treated from Clear
Creek county it is plain that the ore
from that section and from Gilpin is bet
ter for our purpose than this ore here in
Boulder county, although we are meet
ing with success beyond our expecta-
tions right here"

George E. Palmer Has Filed Suit.

Here is a little item from the Denver
Republican of Tuesday: "Five thous-
and dollars, with interest from Nov. IL,
1902, is asked by George E. Palmer, who
filed suit yesterday in the district court
against the Idaho Springs Mining & Re-
duction company. On July 1, 1901, it is
stated, the company made to J. t. Wal
ker it's promissory note, which note,
duly endorsed by Walker, later came
into the hands of the plaintiff. Palmer
sues for collection"

The regular session of the district
court for this district will open Monday,
May IL. There are several important
cases to be tried. Among these is the
criminal case in which the preliminary
hearing has Just closed. 1t is the gem
eral belief, however, that outside of the
trouble that will be experienced in get
ting jury the case will not be long one
as a great deal of the haggling between
attorneys at the preliminary hearing will
not be countenanced in district court.
Several civil suits will be tried, major
ity of them being adverses or matters
pertaining to conflicts in mining matters.
1t is expected that fully two weeks and
possibly three will be consumed in the
trial of the civil and criminal dockets.

ONE NEED IN STATE EDUCATION.

One fact is made very promi-
nent in the annual report of the
state school commissioner, and
that is the need of county school
commissioners to study Article 8
of the constitution of the state,
title "Education." There is a
great deal of illumination in that
article for the gentleman whose
business it is to handle school
affairs in the counties and to ex-
press views for the right adjust-
ment of them to constitutional
requirments.
The most pertinent fact which
they ought to grasp and thoro-
ughlY digest is that the legis-
lature cannot do things for and
about the common schools that
are not authorized by the sup
RENE law of the state. When the
commissioners once get hold of
that basic fact they will cease to
sit up of nights studying out
things that, in their adoption,
would violate the constitution and
unlawfully divert the public
funds.
For instance, however valuable
literary libraries in each school
might be to few of the students
with omniverous appetities, not
one penny of state school money
can be lawfully set apart for such
libraries, even by act of the
general assent bly,.
Nor can the consolidation of
schools, with the auxiliary of free
transportation of childen to and
from them, be legally accomplish
ed. And yet in some counties
the experiment has been tried.
These are but two of MANY
things suggested for the schools,
but that lie wholly outside the
letter and purview of the state
constitution. Constitution.

ENGLISH HONOR.

Dear Sir
In England if one gentleman
insults another, there still exists
code of honor which entities

The English aristocracy are
rarely towards, and are usually
expert with the rapier and gun.
In case of a misunderstanding
friends of the parties are called
together, and if the grounds war
rent meeting, it is so ordered.
and should the gentleman refuse
to accept, he is posted at all the
clubs to which he belongs, and
his name removed from the roll
OF members.
From that time he becomes an
outcast from society, gentlemen
refuse to meet him, if he was a
member of any public body and
attempted totake his seat, all other
members would leave, children
would point at him on the street,
such men usually leave the coun-
try or commit suicide, they are
social leppers.
The English artizan is another
class, his disputes are settled in
another, though no less honorable
way according to prize ring
rules.
lnbooks and magazines have read
a great deal of Southern Chivarly,
and am pleased to say it can
still be found among the decen-
dants of old European families,
but society is getting so impreg-
mated with the criminals of other
countries. that unless some code
OF honor is revived, chivalry will

The money sharks" Of Allan
ia are having a hard time of it
just at present if we look through
their glasses: for which we are
sincerity thankful. Now we do
not wish TO be misunderstood:
While we have the highest re-
CARDS for the money lender as
long as he stays within bounds
of commercial usages we abomi-
nate and despise the one who
takes advantage of his ability to
to lend and grinds his borrower
between the upper milestone of
exhorbitant interest, and the
neither milestone of theft and
petty larceny to repay the debt.
1t is high time that each com
munity awake to it's duty on these
lines, and see that such sharks y
are not allowed to thrive upon
the necessities of, and often Gala
mites, of the poor: Again such
system of lending encourages
extravagants and. spend-thrifti-
ness in many that ultimately
lead to their ruin; Either mosal-
1y or financially and oftimes both.
