The following open letter from
Colonel f. A. Meredith of Fort Lup-
ton to the editor of his local paper
indicates the feeling shared by the
well informed progressive business
men of the county who are interested
in perfecting our public school sys-
TEN:
Editor Fort Lupton Spirit:
Permit me to express the most
earnest approval of your article in Il
recent issue upon the subject OF
county superintendent of schools.
Your endorsement of Prof. j. f..
Shook for reelection because o! his
exceptional fitness and because Of the
fine record he has made in discharg-
ing the duties of the office, l heartily
commend. But the point in your
article which l specially desire to
emphasize is the suggestion that it
would be wise to ALLEVIATE our schools
as much as possible from politics.
The qualifications for public school
officials should be moral stamina and
technical fitness. Tried and approved
service should not be discarded for
risky experiments.
Our common school system is the
sheet anchor of our republic, and the
only possible medium through which
the diverse natiionalities that COM
prise large part of our population
could be safely invested with Amer
lean citizenship. 1t is a mystery to
me how any one who comprehends
the relation our public schools bear
to the national veal can approve of
dragging school affairs through the
only too often-tilthy pool of politics.
The rule touching school superin-
tendent in every county of Colorado
should be to reward tested merit
wherever the opportunity arises. 1t
should be applied with will in
Weld county in the case of Prof.
Shook, for his success has been
marked fact that will be most
freely verified by those best qualified
to Judge, towit, the school teachers
of the county.
I'm the case of Mrs Grenfell, our
state school superintendent, the yot-
ers of Colorado have endorsed the
nom partisan idea in Il signal man
ner. In any other business it would
be accounted sheer madness to dis
pense with an employe who had
achieved the success that has crowned
Mrs. Grenfells S conscientious perform
ance of duty in her office. For
many years before Mrs. Grenfell took
charge of school affairs, the school
fund and the interest thereon were
notoriously under a cloud and object
of plunder and of scandal. Mrs.
Grenfell brought that shameless con-
dition of affairs to an end and she
made the school fupd felt in steadily
augmenting the school resources of
every county in the state. With her
accession to Office the insane policy
of bartering our school lands for a
song, generally through political
manipulation, was summarily throt-
tied, and the wise method of leasing
school land was substituted. This
has resulted in a substantial increase
for present use, without sacrificing
the interests of the future by parting
with the basis of that income. But
Mrs. Grenfell's service is too widely
appreciated to justify extended re-
marks here. However we may differ
about candidates for other offices, we
will make no mistake in voting for
and using all of our influence fol
Mrs. Grenfell and Prof. Snook.''

DEMOCRATS AT PHOENIX
Mark Smith the Unanimous Choice
 of the Party for Delegate

Nominated at o'clock last Thursday afternoon by Col. J. F. Wilson in strong and masterly address, and seconded by George Purdy Bullard of Maricopa, Wiley Jones of Graham, and others, Mark Smith has been formally declared the democratic standard bearer
 E. E. Ellinwood of Prescott was elected chairman of the territorial committee and J. P. Dillon was elected secretary. By resolution they were accorded votes in the committee and the chairman was authorized to fill any vacancies on the committee that may occur dur ing the tenure of his office. The committee was empowered to fill vacancies on the territorial ticket, which consists only of a candidate for delegate to congress. It is not likely that the committee will be overworked in this respect, as Mir. Smith is looking hale and hearty.
 The members of the territorial committee from this county are J. B. Jones and G. w. Glowner.
 In accordance with the wishes of the nominee, statehood has been made the paramount and only issue, all other questions being rel egated to the rear, to await more suspicious day for their advance ment. The issue has been so de- fined in MT. Smiths own platform, and he emphasized it in his speech accepting the honor conferred upon him by the convention.

QUITE A BLAZE
Residence of Mrs. Clancy De-
 stroyed by Fire Sunday Night

Our residents were rudely awak- ened last Sunday night about l1:45 by the usual fire alarm, the shoot ing of guns and the blowing of whistles, to learn that the residence one door south of the hospital, owned and occupied by Mrs. Emma B. Clancy, was in flames. The fire quickly did it's work and soon the building and it's contents were a smoking pile of ruins, Mrs. Clancy being able only to save a small quantity of clothing for herself and children. Next door south, occu- pied by E. w. Carlson, and about fifteen feet distant, was situated the Charlie Blue cottage, which by the gallant efforts of volunteer firemen who connected a mill hose, was saved after a hard fight. When seen by NEWS man Monday morn ing Mrs. Clancy was unable to give any certain explanation as to the cause of the fire. She stated that the night before she had been troubled with toothache and arose and lighted lamp to find reme' dies to quiet the pain. Having ap- piled these she went to bed, leaving the lamp burning. She said she must have dozed off, though it could not have been for more than twen. ty minutes, when she awoke with g start to find the house full of smoke The commotion awoke MT. Carlson who came over to see what was wrong, but his efforts and those o1 others quickly arrived were una vailing. The property was valued at between $12OO and $500; partly covered by insurance.

Lost the Drill.

The drilling on the local oil prospects northwest of town came to an abrupt end the fore part of the week and it will be several days before the machinery will again be moving. The loss of a drill in the we'll is causing the trouble. Messrs. Wilson and Van Epps went to Gallup the fore part of the week to see if they could pur- chase some of the rigging used on the we'll at that point.
 The drilling will be resumed the coming week. The we'll is now over 250 feet deep and indications are said to be excellent.-Winslow Mail Sept. 17.

iOCihE ptA>ts Ao CoufA be called walking, but climbing and scrambling as best we could. Even the moraines on the glacier afforded us nc relief, for they were either soft with white sand or we had to climb over rocks and ice frozen together, which tired us more than clear ice. The parties of men who came out never wanted a woman with them in that one walk for fear they would give out before they got through, but every woman 1 knew of who started kept up with Ter companions.
 We began the ascent of the gla- cier about 4 o'clock in the morn- ing. It was so steep and slippery that we had to give up walking part of the distance and crawl on our hands and knees. Other sections of it was slanting like the roof of a house and a slip meant certain death. I had nothing to carry but my stick, which was seven feet long, with a sharp prod in the end. That was a help, going up or coming down any steep place. My husband and the other men who were with us each had 50 pound pack on their backs; they also had canes.
 After climbing about eight miles we stopped a few minutes for a lunch. and in that time we had a chance to see the awful desolation of our surroundings. No descrip- tion of it would do it justice, and I would not care to look upon such a scene again. The memory of it even makes me shudder. We silently viewed it, for we were all too anxious about the difficult task before us to express our thoughts. Starting again on our still more dangerous journey, we kept on go- ing until we reached the summit and began coming down this side. As it looked like a sea of caverns and crevasses, it seemed impossible to go further. We jumped across all the crevasses that were not too wide. Sometimes we had to go back and forth three or four miles to cross an opening of seven feet; this made our walk much longer.
 When about four miles down from the summit on this side we met some men going in. They warned us to hurry, as the worst of the trip was yet to come. One of these men, a sturdy young Swede, had three fresh potatoes and one fresh onion in his pockets. He was taking them over to the boys, he said. There could only be taste for each. He also had a keg of whisky on his back, that he was taking in for some of the men. He did not drink. for knew him we'll. The last 1 saw of him he was strug- gling up the steep incline with his load. This poor fellow was lost in a crevasse on his next trip out few weeks later, not far from where we met him. There were others lost at the same time. After passing these men we put forth our best eff forts to get along. We made many miles without speaking a word to each other, not daring to waste our breath.
 The snow bridges were about the most treacherous thing we had to deal with. We never ventnred across one if our sticks went clear through the snow. Sometimes we could see the snow was deep enough to hold us; then we stepped quickly and lightly across, for we could see the yawning chasm beneath the snow.
 CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.
