IS july 1 A HOLIDAY!
Ottumwa Saloons Kept Open
and Lawyers Argue the
Fourth No Holiday
JUDGE ROBERTS DECIDES 1T Isl
Saloon Lawyers Will Appeal For the
Supreme Courts Decision-cIaim
MuIct Law Does Not include July 4
as Legal HoIiday-severaI Saloons
involved In the Injunctions.

Special to Times Republican.
Ottumwa, July 29.-The opening of
what promises to be one Of the most
flerce1y contested legal battless and one
involving legal point that has never
been raised previously in any court,
of the state, was witnessed In the dis
trict court here yesterday morning,
when Judge M. A. Roberts rendered a
decision holding John Lunkley guilty
of violating the. injunction issued
against him in January, 1902, restrain
ing him from violating the mulct law
OF the state. This is one of the seven
injunction cases that were filed here
recently against various saloon keepers
OF Ottumwa and an attempt will be
made by Attorneys J. j. Smith and 10
Jacques, to secure reversal Of Judge
Roberts decision by the supreme court.
The cases were filed by Rahey & Sim
mons. of Fairfield, and were the out
growth Of the failure OF the defendants
to close their saloons on July 4.
In the arguments presented in the
case 1t was pointed out that although
by the laws OF Iowa July 4 is counted
as legal holiday as far as notes, con-
tracts. and other legal papers are con-
cerned, there Is nothing in the liquor
law of the state touching this point and
the attorneys for the defense contend
that therefore it should not be consid-
cred as legal holiday.
This point has never been brought up
in Iowa before, but the supreme court
OF Indiana has twice held that July
was not legal holiday within the
meaning of the mulct law of that state,
which is considered very similar to the
law in force in Iowa.
In rendering his opinion Judge Rob-
erts yesterday morning held that July
should be considered legal holiday
and therefore the defendant was gull
ty Of violating he injunction against
him.
1t is stated by Attorneys Smith and
Jaques that they will carry their case
to the supreme court, where they hope
for q reversal of the decision handed
down by Judge Roberts. If it should
be agreed between the attorneys for the
defense and Raney & Simmons that the
cases shall deal only with the question
as to whether July 4 may be rightly |
considered a legal holiday, 1t may be
decided to group the cases. However,
should such an agreement not be reach
ed, 1T is stated that the cases will be |
carried thru the supreme courts of the
state and will be fought to a finish.

the city had a hotel that would care for
the people and care for them properly they
could multiply the business by five. This
is enough. 1t means that a hotel would
pay twelve months in the year and that it
would be an investment that any other one
possible in the city could not meet.
The picture shows the hotel on top of the
hill as it will be built with the intention of
adding to it as the place is advertised and
the demands justify. At the foot of the
place is the bath house which will be one of
the prettiest to be found in Colorado. The
entrance will be through the arched door
in the center and through the bath house
into the tunnel. From the tunnel an up
raise will be made directly below the hotel
so that the elevator to be placed i'll this
upraise will carry the patron directly into
the hotel This means that from the
CITY here it will all be down hill to the ele
vator and then the trouble is past. The
idea is novel and will be pleasing to the
tourist and sightseer. 1t will bring humid
reds and even thousands of people here as
soon as we can give notice to the world that
the hotel is ready for business.
We understand that stock to build the
hotel will be sold by the company and that
holders in the hotel company will also be
holders in the Blue Ribbon company, which
is one of the best mining propositions in
the district today.
Siftings believes it to be the duty of
every citizen to lend aid and encouragement
to this enterprise.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-02-21

The city is but thirty-seven miles from
Denver, a capitol city with a population of
$50, 900 people and better Idaho Springs
is the great natural park for these people
the breathing place. The clerk and the
artisan who cannot afford to spend money
for an extended trip can come to Idaho
Springs and enjoy life. The railroads are
beginning to appreciate this and are adver-
tising the wonderful scenic advantages of
the city with the minimum mountain altit-
ude of 7, 500 feet above sea level or a little
over 900 feet above Denver.
Within the past two years the drive to
the perpetual glacier at Yankee Hill, the
scores of lakes in that vicinity and the
trip to the sunRlit of James Peak have be-
come propositBns of national Importance.
Besides this there is the trip to Chicago
Lakes and old Mount Evans, the trip to
Brookvale and the scores of others includ-
ing the one over the famous loop at Silver
Plume. All these are accessible by stage
with the exception of the Loop trip over
the Colorado & Southern.
The fact that Colorado has become a
great national park and that Idaho Springs
represents one of the prettiest glens in this
great mountain park is enough to guarantee
the permanency of the future. Its stability
as a great tourists point is as firmly founded
as the mountains upon which the city is
built. Profit in a hotel enterprise i'll Idaho
Springs would be as certain as death and
taxes. There could be no question regard
ing results
The tourist resource of the city has been
lamentably and deplorably neglected. The
writer has seen scores of people sent home
over the line to Denver because they could
not be furnished accommodations. A
prominent hotel man in the city makes the
statement that he turned away 900 people
last year and that he could have cared for
them had he been able to have furnished
room and board The officials of the Colo
RADIO & Southern refuse to send people to
the city because there are no accommodat-
ions for them when they get here. They
have stated to the writer that as soon as
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-02-21

So far as the matter of location is con-
cerned no prettier place for tourists hotel
could be found. The site upon which the
Bradley home is located now affords one of
the most beautiful views to be had in Colo
RADIO. Looking down over idaho Springs
the birds eye view is one that one would
never tire of seeing. After night with the
thousands of electric lights cleaning
through the city it is exceptionally fine.
Then you get view of the snowy range
that would be difficult to picture. In sum
mer time this view has always been an at
traction for tourists who have climbed the
hill in order to see the snow crowned giants
of the Rockies on the great Continental
Divide. To the West and South is Flirta-
ton Peak and the Big Chief that towers
above timberline. Then there is Pine Slope,
one of the most picturesque mountain Plat
eaus in the country and to the North the
great mines of Seaton Mountain where the
entire side of the mountain looks as if it
was an immense beehive-literally honey
combed with mines. To the east the New
house tunnel dump showing the output of
the great tunnel driven three miles through
the solid granite. This has always been an
attraction for the tourists. The location
could not be better.
In the sense of a great investment we
can see no reason why it should not prove
more profitable than any mining investment
although the latter brings rich reward to
the investor. Idaho Springs is city of
900 people inside the corporate limits.
Including the little suburbs that really join
these limits and are part of the city the
population would reach nearer 5,o ooopeople.
1t is city with over 5000, 900 on deposit in
two banks. Counting the people inside
the corporate limits and you have a per
capital deposit of over $50 1t would be
difficult to find another city in the United
States where the same showing could be
made. This wealth represents good ele-
ment for hotel business. Scores of families
board all the year round and scores more
would do so if the accommodations were so
they could.
