Co. have ordered the Deforest Wire
less Telegraph company, to install a
similar system between it's Omaha

while the company contracts to main

a system from that place to Dutch

Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-07-25

As we stated last week, the Big Five
people have paid for the springs property
in full, the purchase price being SIS, 600.
Besides that sum, SIS, 900 has already been
laid out in improving the property, and
the work has just begun. The nataturium
is now in good shape and attracts luc-
ratrive trade. 1t is credit to the city.
The tub bath house also enjoys a lucra-
tive patronage. Now that the title to the
property is secured we are informed that
erect a commodious building at the en-
trance of the hot tunnel, au addition that
will be greatly appreciated by the patrons
of that health-restoring resort. This will
serve to prevent any possibility of catch
ing cold after bathing, which contingency
has prevented many invalids from testing
the merits of the baths. The work will
be pushed as rapidly as possible and with
the energy displayed by the Big Five
people in all their undertakings. All this
is good news to our people and shows
that when the springs were sold they
passed into competent hands. The inn
portance of this completion of title and
the improvements in contemplation can
not be too greatly estimated. For years
Idaho Springs as a resort was held back
by the lethargy of the owners of the
springs. No matter what was the cause,
the effect was the same. The fact that
any business in that line was done at all
proved that our incompatible climate near
ness to Denver and the excellence of the
waters were sufficient to overcome almost
everything. Now that something is to be
done aud in the right way, Idaho Springs
is taking on new life and girding up her
i i1s for an appeal to the tourist public
that means a continually greater city
and county and a prosperity undreamed
of in the earlier history of the district.
New bathing privileges will naturally be
followed by larger crowds of visitors
each year, necessitating greater hotel ac-
commodations, all which are now under
way.

Marshal O'Rourke, in the course of
his multifarous duties, sometimes runs
across queer characters. He has been
sending out gentle reminders to different
people to either appear at his headquar-
ters with pick and shovel or put up the
necessary $500 for street tax. On the
18th he received four-page letter from
a resident of this city giving cogent rea-
sons why he should not pay the tax.
Among these were the following: The
writer had been a fireman in a neighbor-
ing city for three years, a county asses
sor, deputy sheriff, constable and justice
of the peace. In addition to these for
mcr responsibilities he is afflicted with
four scrotal and side hernias, which he
thought sufficient for any one man. But
aside from these considerations he had
been public-spirited in many ways. He
had, as psychic expert healed the sick 3,
buried the dead, helped the widow and
orphan, and given away a two-third in
terest in mining prospect. The writers
family lives in Denver and he votes
there. The last we saw of O'Rourke he
was headed for the city attorneys office
to read up on Mills annotated statute.

An interesting meeting of the A. o. U.

quite large number being present to
hear the past supreme master workman's
explanation of the proposed change in
the form of assessments, which will be
acted upon at the next meeting of the

were highly edited. After the address
a number of the members discussed the
plan exhaustively. This pleased the Wis
itor, as he wanted to know how the or
der felt upon this important question.
D. E. Wykoff & Co. report that bust
ness shows considerable improvement of
late, owing no doubt to the different
propositions that have recently started
up, although it is little early to derive
much benefit from those sources. As far
as the mining demand is concerned,
trade is normal, very nearly equal to last
year, but there has been considerable of
a let-up in the demand for material for
dwellings. Mr.. Wykoff, the manager,
looks for a great Improvement as fall ap-
proaches and he would not be surprised
if next year would be very active. This
view comedies with that entertained by
many close observers here. There is one
thing sure, if everybody looks for activ-
ity, it is bound to follow.

The Vote for U. S. Senator.

Even among we'll informed peo-
pie, says the jackson correspon-
dent of the Picayune, there seems
to be misconception touching
the vote for United States Senator,
the idea being prevalent that the
electoral vote has something to
do with the election of Senator.
County lines are wholly obliter-
ated by the Noel Primary Election
Law touching the nomination of a
United States Senator, and the
plurality and electoral vote''
does not enter into the nomination
of senator where there are only
two candidates to be voted for.
The vote for United States SEN
ator will be added in the aggre-
gate regardless of county lines,
and that candidate who shall have
received the majority of the entire
vote, adding the vote of the seven
ty-fve counties together for each
candidate, and the candidate re-
ceiving the total majority will be
the nominee to be elected by the
legislature when it meets next
January.
