The Editor Never Surrenders.

''S a-S'ho' 'NSNS' OuiShoSto'
One day as the editor of the -
sat reclining in the Office chair,
awaiting expectantly he knew not
what, a man came in and said;
Il have lost my valuable dog,
put this little notice in your
"lost" column, and-'er-of
course, you wouldn't charge a
man for little thing like that"
The editor looked sad but said
nothing. The paper was issued
on Thursday. So on the follow
ing publication day the man came
around and asked for paper.
The editor picked up one and
handed it to him.
"Thanks," was the brief reply
and the man walked out. In q
few minutes he returned, his face
and eyes flushed with ill-conceal-
ed wrath.
"Blankety, blank, your time,
why in the thunder didn't you
put in my little notice."
"As / don't know you, | can't
credit you, and, of course, we
can't run paper on good will
and thanks"
"By--you certainly wouldn't
charge man for n little thing
like that. How much space
would a little notice like that
take up, anyway"
THAT isn't the question:" re-
sponded the editor. WHAT'S your
occupations"
"What the thunder's that got
to do with it? i am a little Of
everything" responded the man,
farmer, merchant, real estate
man, trader, carpenter, black
smith-and--er, but what's that
to you, anyway"
"Well, none of my business, /
suppose, but let me give you a
little illustration. Take your
farm, tor instance. How many
acres have you in your farm"
$50"
"Well, one hundred and fifty,
you say. Now, Mr.. Farmer, q
man comes along with wagon
and family and he likes the coun-
try and stops, sets up his tent,
and stakes off an acre of your
valuable farming land, and, of
course, you go up and ask him
what he means by such appropria-
ton, and he says, sob, well, it's
only an acre, you certainly amt
that selfish"
And then another man comes
along and he likes the country
and does the same thing, and
then another one and then an
other and them
But the man slammed the pa
per on the floor, and slit o
shuck," and the editor leaned
back once more in his chair to
debate upon the depravity of
human nature.

One evening during one of those
meetings that often take place
between bachelor friends for NUT

them to you now for fear that
they may blush unseen and if
these thoughts should incur CEN
sure let the walls of wrath fall on
my devoted head and not the

The first manuscript that ar.
rested my attention is letter
written during sojourn on the

thoughts of you lash against my

of any wave that ever laved the
shores of this bride of the sea
Truly the mind is cleansed and /
gem is found by the searcher o.
the beautiful the same rs thai
which smites the eye of wander

the letter. Certainly one though
more would have impaired TIN

VISIT TO RESERVOIR.
Indications That There Will Be
Sufficient Water.

A Tribune representative had the
pleasure Of drive to the city reser-
voirs yesterday afternoon by the kind
ness of Water Superintendent L. M.
Steen. who is taking great pride in
the city water. The stand pipe was
first visited which has been recently
cleaned and is in first class shape.
At the reservoirs force of men
are engaged in cutting aud burning
the weeds from around the big reser-
voirs. They are clean and nice and
the water is clear and fresh.
At the present time the water is
running into reservoir No. from the
supply pipe, while the city is using
the water out of reservoir No. 3.
The indications are that with a
saving of the water there will be
enough to run until snow comes,
although the stream of water coming
down Neville creek is very small.
There is bad leak in each one Of
the reservoirs and the reporter would
judge that one third Of the water run
ming into the reservoir is wasted by
these leaks. There is no way to pre-
vent the leakage, except by cementing
the reservoirs to the top of the water
line. After four years experience
with the system. those who are fami-
liar with the situation, have come to
that conclusion. But that would be
an expense whsch the town is now in
no position to assume. Therefore,
the only solution to the problem and
the only feasible one seems to be the
saving of the water by citizens, es-
pecislly those who have lawns.

STRIKE SITUATION UNCHANGED
Mysterious Meeting of Mine Owners
in Victor.

Cripple Greek, Aug. l3-From an
exterior standpoint the Cripple Greek
district miners strike remained prac-
tically unchanged all of yesterday.
A few more miners we're added to the

from the Miners union notification
committee. stopped work. as did the
Katinka, employing l8 men.
The @. X. & N. property, on Bea-
con hill, is still working and it looks
now as if this property will continue
to operate as long as the Dorcas mill
is permitted to treat ore.
There WAS a meeting of mine own
ers held in Cunningham ball, Victor,
and some forty were present. What
took place is mystery. There were
numerous discussions and many plans
for peaceful settlement were sug-
gested. The meeting was declared to
be only IN informal one, but the
mysterious air of the mine owners
belied the statement that only infor-
NAL measures were under discussion.
Many of the men are owners Of large
properties in the camp. and some had
come to Victor from Colorado Springs
and Denver.

what would be accomplished in year
or two. Mr.. Wallace then presented
his ideas of what such an organiza-
tions should consist in the way Of
committees, giving committee to
each department.
John Q. Macdonald thought the
Chamber OF Commerce could secure
much for Florence and he WAS in
favor Of making the membership fee
81. 90. He thouhgt that would bring

men who would be IN position to
devote some time to the organization.
1t WIS then moved and seconded
that the chair appoint q committee

and further committee of twenty to
secure membership. Carried.
Mr.. Moore introduced a resolution
to the effect that meeting resolve it.

as the Business Mems Association of
Florence. This brought out consid-
cradle discussion and Mr.. Moore final.
ly withdrew the resolution and the
naming Of the organization was vested
IN the power Of the constitution and
by laws committee
A motion was made by Attorney J
D. Blunt that the membership fee
be placed at ~. 90 and the dues at 90
cents per month. Seconded and car
ried.
A membership paper was then
ent signed the agreement, and about
thirty dollars was paid in. The
meeting adjourned until two weeks
from last night which will be on
August &c, when a permanent organi-
zation will be effected, a time set for
meetings and place for such gath

MASS MEETING
Attended by About Fifty
Enthusiasts.
Indications That Good, Big, Rous-
ing Organization Wnl be Effected
and Much Good VIII be
the Result.

About fifty of the representative
citizens of this city met in mass con-
vention in the city hall at 8 o'clock
last evening for the purpose of organ
izing q business mems association or
a chamber of commerce in order to
assist in promoting and advancing the
undevelopeG resources of Florence and
Fremont county. 1t was an enthu
siastic gathering. Every man present
exhibited willingness to help push
the organization along.
Hon. Lee Champion was chosen as
temporary chairman and H r. Lutes
was made temporary secretary.
Mr.. Champion in his usual pleasant
way briefly stated the object of the
call, and after dwelling for short
time upon the good that might be &C.
complished by such an organization,
called for an expression of views from
each and everyone present.
Aman Moore, manager of the Port
land Cement works. took the floor and
stated that he came to Florence about
five years ago. and Just in time to at
tend banquet given by the Chamber
of Commerce. which proved to be its

Mr.. Wallace, manager of the United
