ALL (E) CORY

Once upon Time Il ere was Big
Robert-tailed Ma-stiff that walked up
and down Newspaper Street every
Week.
The Big Ma-stiff was great in Girth
and his Teeth were long and sharp.
He domineered over all other Dogs of
lesser degree. Some who had neither
owners or homes he growled at as but
Puppies, albeit he had no regular home
himself, though for the most time he
loafed about the House Of the Republic
ans. But any dog that had regular
abiding place was yelped at and cursed
by the Big Ma.stiff as being whelped by
a cur.
Because Of the great Bigness Of the
Ma-stiff and the sharpness of his Fangs
and the bitterness Of his Bites, the lesser
Dogs were much afraid, and when the
Big Ma-stif bayed they dropped their
Tales and hnnted their respective Holes,
for the Big Ma-stiff was wont to whale
the lesser Dogs and gnash them with his
Teeth, so that the lesser Dogs thereafter
walled and gnashed their Teeth respec-
lively. VI Z. .i q
But in course Of Time the Big
Ma-stiff waxed an hungered, for no
man fed him, and the Bones Of Conten-
ton on which he lived had but little
Meat. And he was also cold, even to
his Feet, for an old dog 5 blood hath but
little heat, and it was cold country and
winter was at hand.
So the Big Ma stiff went and joined
himself to q Man from a far Country, to-
wit: Washington, p. G., tor he was fain
to nourish himself with the hlsks that
the Swine did eat. and 10 gnaw the Bones
that fell from the Mans table.
And the Man from the far Country
straightway put 4 Collar on the Big
h Ma,stif and attached 4 Chain thereto.
and daily the Man from the far Country
led the Big Ma-stif by the Chain 1up

Tangled up on Geography and
Name-ology.

Stock raisers and others here
abouts, were highly amused one day
last week when they read In the Dem
yer Post announcing the purchase
of the Lily Park ranch by the Cary
Bros.) that:
1.-THE ranch is situated between
the great walls of the Bear
river canon, 1000 feet in height.
This ranch, in con-
nection with the Hayden ranch,
eighty miles north, will give the
Carys 5000 acres Of land on which
to care for their blooded Herefords
from Scotland, their Percherons from
Oldenburg, Germany, and France,
and their Berkshire hogs from Scot
land, and their 10000 native CATTLE"
Just think of that ranch canoned
in by walls 1000 high and imagine
the time the Cary's will have when
they come to letting their "blooded
Herefords from Scotland" their
"Percherons from Oldenburg, Ger
many, and France" and the ''Berk-
shire hogs from Scotland" down into
1t with ropes? And the 10000 nimble
natives But it won't hurt them to
Jump 'em off the cliffs.

GOOD PROGRESS.

The Town Council Is making salts
factory progress In the water works
matter. Monday was the day on
which bids on the bonds were to be
opened by the council, but contrary
to general expectation, no direct bids
were received. Two bond-buyers
were In attendance, however, but the
best they would offer was 93. This
didn't suit the council and series
Of conferences with Contractor Ford
followed, resulting in Mr.. Ford TAX
ing the bonds ut par, with two and
a half per cent commission for
handling them. The bond brokers
usually charge from two to five per
cent commission for placing such
securities. The council also gave
Mr.. Ford the benefit of the change
from II to 10 inch pipe, which will
be used from Ad Smiths to town,
amounting to over 1000.
The council made the best terms
possible and as soon as a Denver
bond lawyer passes on the issue work
on our water system will..commence.

Chairman Shonts and
Engineer Wallace.

Engineer Wallace.
1t is both an interesting and an inn
portant fact that the two men who
are to work together,-in double har-
ness, as it were,-as constructors of
the chief of staff and the field mar
shal, are like Damon and Pythias.
They have been lifelong chums.
Born in Crawford county, Pennsyl-
vania, fifty years ago, Mr.. Shonts
went west with his family. Hegrad-
uated from Monmouth Gllinois) col
lege in 1915. Among his classmates
was John F. Wallace. Wallace's
father was the president of the col
lege. The friendship that started be-
tween the two youths at school was
continued throughout their manhood.
They speak Of each other rs 'John"
and "Teddy." Now the chums find
themselves hitched to the same big
wagon, and each realizes that he
must pull for all he is worth. 1t IN
safe to say that they will work har-
moniously and effectively together.
