Outside the CITY The damage was more
pronounced. Telephone connection was

Up at Lamartine. where the wintry
breezes are usually fiercest, an estimated
velocity of 10 miles an hour was reported
at certain points in that locality. The
roofs Of the transformer and ore houses
were blown off, and the big shaft house
was threatened. The Ben Harrison shaf'

The wind storm Of last Monday was
particularly severe at Georgetown anu
vicinity, and when the regular passen
ger at 1I:ao a. IN. reached the sandy fat
a short distance this side OF the depot,
the coaches we're lifted off the track and
overturned. injuring - people.
This is said to be the fourth mishap OF
the kind at that point, and therefore was
not unexpected. The train crew was on
the lookout and used all the precautions
possible, the speed of the train oeing
greatly lesseued. This accident, as wen
as those preceding. was caused by the
sweeping wind from side gulcn. strik-
ing the coaches at right angles with ire
sistible momentum. To the fact that ne
train was going slowly is no doubt due
absence of fatalities on this occasion.
Among those injured we're some whose
names are familiar. We give below 'ne
complete list:

Ihs Gras. Rsfu.ss 10 Grow.

Some years since there was a mild
stampede FROM this camp to Cripple
Greek and Victor by miners and Their
fanii ie.. attracted by the glowing reports
of prosperity and high wage paid in that
district. Four-doll4rs-a-day jobs hung
on every bush, it was said. Another
reason for the hrgira Was the bell of
many that Idaho Springs was going to
the low vows. never, never to return.
But Idaho Springs and the district sur
vived the shock. and even persisted in
prosperng and expanding.
History repeats itself. Recently there
has been the same old talk of hard times,
grass growing in the streets, accompanied
by another mild stampede. THIS time
the attraction IS Arizona. and the rail
toads are assisting the immigrants by
making very low rates.
Upon the former occasion many who
went TO Cripple Greek were disappointed
and such will undoubtedly he the case in
Arizona. Reports from there even this
early are discouraging,
Every place is subject to The ehb and
fiow Of prosperity. and those people who
nrosper and grow are the stayers. who
take life philosophically and do not be-
come discouraged by street rumors ema-
mating from men who never conceive or
execute.
1t is we'll to state in this connection
that 1904 will prove the most active IN
the history of Idaho Springs 1t will be
known in history as the mill building

The Journal will play two foot

the ball.
The two games will be played at the
same time. One will be in Fourth
street in front Of The Journal building,
where the big gridiron will be stretched
played inch by inch with the big black
ball on the yard lines. The other game
Will be over the wires Of the Northwest
ern Telephone company.
AS fast as the ball moves in Cedar

The journal building. It will be re-
layed to the Northwestern Telephone
exchanges and any subscribers who de-
sire to know the progress of the game
can find out by taking down the receiver
ana asking for football; The operators
and where the play is located at the
moment. Subscribers cannot keep the
receivers down thruout the play, but
are allowed to make inquiries as often
as they wish, Changing up'' after each
request. This will give the best and
most complete service. f.
The moment the bulletins reach the
Journal operator, from the sidelines at
Cedar Rapids, they are handed to the
man who. operates the big board and
the ball is moved across the gridiron

team holds for downs, fumbles, makes
