OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

Recently college president made
an address to his students. He gave
them much good advice, but managed
to include one thing which will cause
many of his hearers much trouble and
many failures IN life If followed ht-
orally and without consideration on
the part of the Recipients of such ad-
vice. The Objectionable sentence was.
"be a good mixer" We won't criticise
the slang. Mixer" has become good
english In these days of additional
words to our already expressive vo-
cabulary. But to advise a young man
TO become a mixer" is much like ad-
visiong him to become good billiard
,player. to become card-sharp, to be-
come an eloquent preacher, to become
a railroad president, even to become
good poet. Such men are born, not
raised. Mixers" are created with a

BEWARE, OF BOOK MEN.

News from Des Moines to the effect
that the book men have begun to gather
there for headquarters preparatory to
campaign for contracts with thirty
five counties in this state which will

suggests the timeliness of word Of
warning.
There are probably very few business
enterprises In the country that resort
to more corrupt methods or employ
more disreputable men to get business
than do the great book publishing
houses, and yet these stlne concerns
also employ a class Of clean-handed,
high minded, educated men as we'll.
The sysem under which their selling
force seems to be organized is about
this; to sell books on their merits
where they can, presenting their goods
thru educated and talented school men
in their employ, but to keep in readi-
ness a pack of the most unprincipled
hounds that ever followed the scent
of week or depraved man; these to be
unleashed the moment they smell

school books than any other function.
discharged. by public officers.
The warning is plain. Members OF
the county board Of supervisors, county
auditors and superintendent Of pub.
lie instruction who constitute board )
of education,. should beware of book
agents. Insist upon being solicited
only in the presence OF witnesses an
preferably in open board meeting.
Make everything as public as possible.
Spurn all invitations to junket in Chi
cago and let any board member who
weakens understand that the eyes ct
the public are upon him. When the
board itself 10 clean and incorruptible
it will be pleasure to meet and know
the estimable gentlemen who will he
selling school books. But when a
rounder, bearing the unmistakable
physiognomy Of depravsty, registers ut
the hotel as book agent, every citl-
zen should look after his board of ed,l-
cation, for these hounds are unerring
In their scent. They never follow a
false trail.
Newspapers, too, should be on
guard. One OF the first moves in a
corrupt campaign is to "see the edi-
tor" In fact. the whole public should
keep an eye on the bool. business. Pub
licity is sure cure for most of its ills.

township trustees even feel themselves

said, and the newspapers, with the
citizens In general, can put every co,ln-

Going through the hospitals in our
large cities one is surprised to find such
large proportion Of the patients lying
on those snow-white beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting
or recovering from serious opera
tons.
Why should this be the case? Sim
ply because they have neglected them
selves. Ovarian and womb troubles
are certainly on the increase among
the women Of this country-they creep
upon them unawares, but every one OF
those pktients in the hospital beds had
plenty OF warning in that bearing

Old Fort Proba y
Erected By Pike
Dali DeWeese Thinks the Old Fort Near 9 New Reser
voir Grape Creek Probably Erected by Col Zebulon
Pke-Was Used by Kit Carson.

Dali DeWeese, who has probably
made a more exhaustive study OF the
early explorations, traditions and folk
lore of the Arkaneas valley than any
body in this section Of the state, Is
convinced that the old fort at the head
OF Grape creek was not erected by Kit
Carson, to whom it is generally at
tributed by the people OF the surround
ing country. but was built by Col.
Zebulon Pike to mark the burial place
Of several Of his followers who were
frozen to death in the Wet Mountain
valley during the winter of 1905.
While there is no absolute historical
data to establish Mr.. Deweese's theory
there is an abundance OF circumstan
tial evidence to corroborate his ideas
in that respect, which seems to us
to be very plausible. IL will be recalled
by those OF our readers familiar with
the history OF Colorado that Col Pike
discovered the peak which bears his
name in July, 1905, and that he spent
the following summer and fall In an
endeavcr to locate the source of the
Rio GrAnde river, which he believed
was somewhere in the vicinity Of where
6slida now stands.
In his report to the government Col.
Pike says that in bis journey t. the
westward he came to an impossible
canon in the mountains through which
the river flowed with torreutial force,
which was without doubt the Royal
Gorge. After trying for three days To

the city 500 lilac bushes and 50 choice
rose bushes for said land There are
no graves on the land asked for by Mr..
DeWeese, which has an area of about
ten acres, and his application is for a
lease for three years with the privi-
lege of keeping it for five years if not
required for cemetery purposes in the
meantime, in which event the city re-
serves the right to cancel the lease and
devote it to the purposes for which it
was originally dedicated The report
