Bro. Drury Has
Troubles, Too.

In order to correct any wrong
impressions which some people
seem inclined to create relative to
the authorship and purpose of the
article appearing in last weeks
issue of the Herald under the
title, "A Society Curse" it be-
comes necessary to state that the
article vas written by the editor
of the Herald, without a sugges-
ton or hint from any outside
ource. No one else had any
knowledge of it before it appeared
in print. Whatever of fault or
merit it possessed is to be placed
upon no person whomsoever ex-
cept the present incumbent of the
Herald's editorial chair. That the
article proved to be a garment cut
to the measurement of some local
trouble mongers is a regretable
circumstance, but one for which
they have only themselves to
ame.-Encampment Herald.

Bought an Auto.

Mayor Winsor, who has been
in Denver for the past three
weeks, returned Friday from that
place in a new 20-horse power
Peerless auto. He brought his
brother-in-law and family, Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ. g. Clemmons and chill
dren, with him for a few weeks
vacation.
Mr.. Winsor makes a strong de-
NAL that he spent half his time in
the calaboose while in Denver, but
there are some who wink the other
eye when he puts up this defense.
They know he must have spent
the time somewhere, and they are
ready to believe the story that
comes from that city that he kept
half the police force on the jump
while he was painting the town a
bright red color with green trim
mings. All the same, his auto is
a fine one and the editor of this
paper expects to get a ride in it
if he don't take offense at this
item and put us out of commission.

THE ITMAY
PROPERTY
To Do Large Amount of
Development Work -
5OO-foot Tunnel and a
Drift of 300 Feet Con-
tracted For.

Alfred Brile, the mining man,
went down to the railroad Satur-
day to superintend the shipment
from Walcott to the Itmay mining
claim, of 10000 pounds of machin-
cry, consisting of air compressor
and drills, which will be used in
running a tunnel 800 feet in
length on that mine, the contract
for which he has taken. The tun-
mel will be 500 feet in length and
then a drift of 300 feet on the tun-
mel will be made. This will give
the company 300 feet in depth
from the surface on the vein.
The Itmay is considered one of
the best properties in the Grand
Encampment district, and is
owned, principally, by Hon. 1. G.
Miller, Dr.. Osborne, William Da-
ley and Alfred Brile.
l.. @. Nelson has the contract to
deliver the machinery on the
ground, and left Monday morning
with his freight teams for the rail-
road.

RAILROAD
SITUATION
Chatterton Remains
President Of the S. & E.
Road, g. M. Hohl Gen
eral Manager, and F. J.
Cramer Chief Engineer.

Nothing new has developed in
the railroad situation since the last
issue of the Sun. Governor Chat.
terton retains the presidency of
the road, G.. M. Hohl is general
manager, as before, and Frank j.
Cramer is still the chief engineer.
When the board of directors is
increased to five, as now contem-
plated, MI. Cobb will be made
vice-president and W. G. Henry
secretary and treasurer and the
headquarters of the company will
be moved to Encampment.
1t is understood that whatever
interest Mr. Powers may have had
in the road will be purchased, all
the interests of the company pass
with the change and all indebted
ness under the former manage
ment will be assumed by the new
board of directors.
1t is asserted upon good author
ity that work on the new Hot
Springs hotel is to be begun at
once, and that $4,000 will be ex-
pended in work and material
within thirty days. This puts
new life into the people here and
business has already felt the i'm
pulse of better times.

years, 4 months and "a days. The
funeral ceremonies were conducted
from the house, Rev. Strickland
officiating, and the body inferred
in the city cemetery at 3 o'clock
Tuesday, The funeral was to
have taken place at 3 o'clock Sun
day, but was delayed in order that
Ansel d. Richards, deceased's
youngest son, might arrive from
Lone Rock, Iowa.
Mercy NJ. Bullock, the de-
ceased, was born in Bennington,
N Y, in the year 1928 and was a
sister Of A. G.. Bullock, who lived
in Saratoga for fully % years, and
died here the 25th of March, 1905.
Deceased will be laid by the side
of her brother.
In 1886 she became a member
of the Christian church and was
always a consistent Christian. In
1874 she married Orson d. Rich
ards. Eight children were born
to them, four of whom have passed
on before her. She enjoyed 43
years of happy married life, her
husband departing this life in

She came to Saratoga in May
last and took up her residence
with her daughter, Mrs. Fannie
A. Hunter, and her husband,
where she was at the time of her
death, which came at a ripe old
age.
Deceased was an unusually
bright woman and retained the
use of all her faculties, except
that of hearing, down to the day
of her death, which was due more
directly to an injury received some
years ago than to the breaking up
of old age. She was a great
reader, and took a strong interest
in the progress of the world. She
was instructive and interesting in
conversation and strove to make
her life conform to Christian prin-
ciples. She was a strong charac,
ter and left her mark ON the world
for good. But now life's ftful

townships, they have been with
drawn from entry, not because of
the timber on them, but because
they contain coal.

The New Jersey barkeeper who
received a severe tightening shock
while drawing a glass of beer
must have got hold of the wrong
faucet-the one attached to the
barrel in which the Jersey light

A Michigan minister whose wife
regained her voice after three
years of silence called a special
"praise meeting" to express his
JOY over the restoration of her
speech. This is not Il humorous
item. 1t is a religious fact!
1t is barely possible that the
Ohio woman who went to Jail
rather than tell her age was en-

The postohice department has call
ed for bids for new supplies Of one
and two cent postage stamps with the
name of the postoffice from whicn
they are to be sold "over-pNnted' on
them. This would give as many kinds
Of stamps as there are postofiices, al
though all would be equally valid for
postal purposes in any part of the
country. The end which this device
aims to correct is familiar \ subur-
ban postmaster whose salary depends
on the sale Of stamps at his office,

local office. It is assumed that public
spirited people depositing letters IN
the large city postoilices would not
like to see the overprint Of some small
town on their stamps. In addition it
would give postohice inspectors
pointers as to violations of the law
governing the sale Of stamps.
