A burro may be one of the most
exasperating creatures. OH the face
of the earth for all we know, but
we have never seen anything in
our personal observations to cause
us to believe this to be true. They
are certainly very useful in their
place, and to a casual observer it
would seem that they should re-
ceive some consideration in their
treatment. Certainly there is one
thing true; boys are not compelled
to ride them very often. When
they do it is for their own amuse-
ment. And under these circum-
stances to see boy riding burro
and trying to make him go at a
race-horse speed is something
amusing. But when he uses a
great big club to pound the animal
about the head and face, then there
is no longer amusement in it. It

This very thing does frequently
occur about Ouray, and if it is not
stopped somebody will make it ex-
tremely warm for the boy. For
the boys sake, leaving ont the fact
that the burro has feeling, 1T should
not be allowed, because it makes

Some time ago lady lost q
pocket-book containing, besides
other money, a ten dollar bill. II
also had in it the name of the
owner. She came to this Office and
asked the writer if he thought ii
would do any good to advertise for
the lost purse. After thinking a
moment we told her that if it con-
tanned her name as she said it did,
we thought there would be little
use in advertising for the money
as the party who found the pocket
book, if they were honest, either
he or she would return it without
an adj, and if the person were dis
honest who should happen to pick
it up, all the advertising the loser
might insert in the paper wouldn't t
be the means of the property be-
ing returned. So she decided to
wait few days and see what would
develop. Several weeks have now
elapsed and there has been no
sign of either the purse or the
money. Evidently some one who is
not honest found the money, which
shows, we are prone to admit, that
there is one dishonest person in
our midst.

In this issue appears the call for
the Democratic primaries which
will be held in the four wards to-
morrow evening. Each precinct,
it will be noticed is entitled to
five delegates. On the night fol
lowing the primaries will be held
the convention when a ticket, con-
sisting of mayor, and an alder
man from each of the four wards,
will be placed in nomination. All
Democrats should make it point
to be present at the primaries, and
moreover all delegates should see
to it that they are in attendance at
the convention.

PEABODY WILL WIN.

Up to the hour of the Observer
going to press, which was shortly
after noon, nothing definite had
been decided in the gubernatorial
contest as to a choice, according to
a phone message received by this
paper from Denver. The session
opened this morning at 10 o'clock.
Alexander withdrew his report
which favored the seating of Nc
Donald. The Griffith report,
which favored the seating of
Adams on the ground that Pea
body had made no case in his con-
test, was rejected by the assembly.
This only left one report that in
troduced by the majority of the
partial investigating committee
which favored the ousting of Gov
Adams, the choice of the people,
and the seating of Peabody, the
choice of the corporationists. The
only remaining report will be
brought up for consideration this
afternoon, and il. will in all prob
ability be accepted and Peabody
declared elected. But according
to an agreement made with the
Mcdonald men, Peabody is to re-
sign within twenty-four hours and
the lieutenant governor will take
the chief executives chair. Thus
will end one of the bitterest and
dirtiest fights ever waged by the
corporate influences of a state to
overthrow the will of the people
to achieve their personal desires
Adams was fairly elected as was
shown in the contest brought by
Peabody, the latter failing utterly
to make a case. 1t was not mat
ter of right or justice in the con-
test proceedings and the final out
come, but case of might makes
right, pure and simple.

Last evening the Republicans

Last evening the Republicans OF
the city held their primaries and
Saturday night will be held their
convention for the purpose of plac-
ing ticket in the field to be voted
on the 4th of next month. The
ticket is all cut and dried, the slate
having been completed some weeks
ago. 1t will be composed Of prac-
tically the same officers whose
terms expire this spring, with the
possible exception of one or two
aldermen, who are not exactly sat

are booked for complete decapi.

pervade the meeting or not is

Letters are received frequently

struction company, who has been

ing bonds for the construction of
the spur which is to connect with
the Moffat near Rollinsville, stat
ing that the success he is meeting
with has far exceeded his expecta-
tions. After the road is completed
to this city it will be extended to
Yankee, a distance of about twelve
miles. From Pactolus, the point
at which the new road will branch
off from the Moffat line, is about
twenty eight miles, and it is for
the erection of this twenty-eight
miles of track and road-bed that
Mr.. Hall is in the east endeavor-
ing to raise money. The extension
of the road into Yankee will mean
a big boom for that camp. There
are millions of tons of low-grade

The local Republicans held
their primaries last night. With
the exception Of one ward the at.
tendance was slim and very little
enthusiasm was displayed. The
lack of interest manifested caused
many of the Republicans to re.
mark that the breach which was
SO apparent in the campaign Of
last fall had not been patched up
as was expected, but instead had
widened somewhat. which indi-
Gates that there will be more or

A month ago the Republicans
of the city were most sanguine
over a complete victory in the
April election. Since then they
have begun to realize that they
had placed their hopes little too
high and now they will admit that
the Democracy will elect at least
half of their ticket, if not the
mayor and two aldermen. If they
continue to feel themselves "slip-
ping" doubtless before the cam
paign has fairly opened they will see
that the Democrats stand a very
good show of achieving victory
similar to the one last fall, which
was complete for the entire ticket
almost throughout the city as well
as the county.

MORGAN'S POSITION.

1t is our opinion that Richard
w. Morgan (Slippery Dick) plac-
ed himself in a sad predicament
when he created the sensation in
the joint assembly by asserting
that Messrs. Herbert and Sullivan
had offered him bribe of $4,000
to vote for Adams. Both the ac-
cuser and those accused have made
statements regarding the bribery
charges and those familiar with
the crooked work of Morgan while
he was a member of the Four
teenth general assembly in accept
ing bribes to do the bidding of the
corporationists against the passage
of the eight-hour bill, are inclined
to believe what Herbert and Sulli-
van say. This is to the effect that
Morgan had gone to them and said
he had been offered $4,000 by the
Peabody side to vote for their
choice in the gubernatorial contest,
but that as he favored Adams. if
Herbert would do as we'll by him
he would vote for Adams. Her.
bert claims he told the bribe-
seeker that he had no interest what
ever in the contest and wouldn't
give him cent. According to re-
ports, the actions of Morgan while
a representative from Boulder
county in the Fourteenth must
have been as corrupt as is possible
for member of the legislature.
When he left his home town, La
fayette, to perform his duties as a
legislator when he was first elected
to the house Of representatives, he
was a very poor man, with mort
gage on his home and owing money
on his furniture. When he re-
turned from his first sitting in the
assembly he not only had money
enough to pay off the mortgage on
his residence, but bought a much
finer house and put $1,000 in the
bank. While it may be true that
some of our lawmakers while at
tending the sessions of the legisla-
ture practice the most rigid econo-
my and eat at the cheapest lunch
counters for the purpose of saving
a little of their salary. it doesn't
hardly seem reasonable that a man
could economize to such an extent
that on a S65O.O0 salary a year, as
to make that small amount of
money do all that it is claimed
Morgan managed to do. Another
thing that will 60 hard with Nor
gan, and which seems inconsistent
according to his charges, is the fact
that few days before his startling
expose he had gone to Governor
Adams voluntarily and told him
he was for him, believing he had
been fairly elected. If that is the
case, why should it have been nec-
essary for Herbert to bribe him in
order to get him to vote for Adams
Something strange about that, isn't
there? The investigation which is
now pending into the bribery
charges should, and doubtless will,
result in Morgan's expulsion from
the senate, as much of his past
record as bribe-taker is being in
vestigated. In street parlance, il
appears to us that the senatorial
CRATER has started something lie
can't stop"

that of 1903. In some instances
prices were not as good

Nine. Ella Partridge

The principal vocal soloist who Is
appearing with lnnes and his Oaua
on the present tour is Nine. Emma
Partridge, known as the most sensa-
tional soprano this country has ever
produced. Nine. Partridge was with
the band last year and her every ap-
pearance was triumphal ovation.
Nine. Partridge is a native OF
Milwaukee,, but early in her career,
the celebrated Nine. Milton of Paris
heard her sing, at once took her TO
the French capital and developed
her remarkable talent. Within
three months she was singing in con-
servatories. Her most recent tre-
mendous successes in opera, espe-
cially in Lucia, Faust, and
more particularly "Parsifal she is
the greatest kundry living today
are matters of general knowledge.
She has soprano voice OF great
power and range, yet of peculiar
sweetness, a most charming person.
ality, great beauty and all the at
tributes of the leading prima donna
of the day.
Fritz n. HUFFMAN Is the tenor
whom, of all that Mr.. Innes heard,
he chose for the title role in Par
sifal.n A typewriter said the other
day: Il am sorry l cannot do this
work for you, but l am going to
hear 'Parsifal' this afternoon; |
want to hear Huttmann. Money
was no object to this young woman.
She wanted to hear ''PaIsifal, and
she was willing to pay what she had
to pay for seat, and to lose what
abe might have made, by STAYING
away. She did not hear the COM
plete "Parsifal', but she did hear
sll that was best in it, and what she
did not hear deprived her OF nothing
of value. 1t may be sacrilege to say
it-but is true-tne full score of
'Parsifaln bores some people.
Mr.. Huffman received his early
training in the Dresden Opera House
and Bayruth. He came to this
country to join the Grau Metropoli-
tan Opera House Company, where he
assumed the title role in the great
opera. After finishing his present
tour with the Innes Band. he will
return to Dresden in pursuance with
his promise to the Opera House
management. Highly as he is
thought of at home, it is impossible
that the triumphs he is achieving
here should not add to his laurels.
He is not of German birth, though
his name might so imply. He is an
American. So is Nordica. The
gift of voice each had as birthright
has been fostered and improved by
the best that European culture could
give. In Huttmann, America is

world that will rival what America

WHERE FAULT LIES
Low Price of Potatoes Due to
Competition.

The following letter from Hobbs
Parsons company, wholesale fruif
and produce dealers OF Stockton
Calf, explains largely why potatoes
are selling so cheap in this section
this spring:
Stockton, Cal. +-ll-l9o5.
F. II. Badger & Sons,
Greeley, Colo.
Dear Sirs:-We have your wire IN
reply to ours quoting white potatoes
3Oc reds 35c. cwt. here; quick ship
ment. These prices certainly appear
low enough and we certainly would
have ordered a car or two had we not
received letter from Ault, Colo,
quoting strictly fancy white stock at
2Oc cwt. Indications are that for
the next two months, we will be
Obliged to ship all of our potatoes in
here from either Colo, or Utah as
our local stock is about exhausted
and Oregon appears to be holding on
for higher prices.
Our Fresno house report that the
car they received from you was very
satisfactory and when price and quail
ity are equal, we will try and give
you the preference.
Yours truly,
Hobbs Parsons Co.
This shows that there are markets
for potatoes, in which they are will
ling to pay price from ten to fifteen
cents higher than some dealers are
quoting. Just who the Ault dealer
is who is quoting potatoes out at 20
cents a hundred is not known, but
indicati ons are that he is new at the
business, or he would not be willing
to take the risk of shipping such a
distance, upon a five cent margin,
taking for granted that he is paying
fifteen cents to the farmers for the
potNoes.
The freight from here to the point
quoted in California, is ninety and
a quarter cents, and if for any one
of several causes that might turn up,
the potatoes were refused, the dealer
would lose pretty near enough on one
or two car loads to put him out of
business.
