We Have Seen the GORGE Where
A Bridge Half A Mile high
Will Be Built.

"Colorado will possess, within
few months, the highest bridge
in the world over the deepest
chasm in the Rocky Mountains"
"Ths bridge is being construct
ed over the far-famed Royal Gorge
of the Arkansas river; and the
Royal Gorge is the narrOwest point
in the also phenOmenally famous
scenic Grand Canon of the same
stream-the great gate, as it were,
through which the Arkansas river
empties its enormous accretions of
water, very soon after the same

ing SHOWS, $50 miles above, in the
vicinity of Leadville, onto the
plain once known as The Great
American Desert.

GORGE where the bridge is to be
stretched, the abysmal rent in the
earth's crust is but so feet wide at
bottom and 230 feet wide at the
top. The walls rise perpendicular
for distance of 1850 feet, and
are granite, decomposed and iron
stained until the coiOrings blend
into innumerable pleasing effects
upon the sense"
The bridge will be built of steel
and glass"
The junior editor of the Advo-

on three trips to California. On

when Peace Took WINGS.

Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Smith had
been talking over the back fence
in the sweetest tones imaginable.
Finally the conversation turned to
spring hats.
And what do you think of my
new hat?" asked Mrs. Jones, as
she rested the saucer of custard on
the fence.
1T is very pretty" hesitated
Mrs. Smith, "but-but-"
"Well," interrupted Mrs Jones,
"but WHAT"
"Wy-er-I think the shade of
one of the feathers altogether too
light, and"
Never mind further criticisms.
You are enyious. You are jealous
because } our husband don't buy

PARTNERSHIP DISSOLVED.
Brewers Tired Of Saloon Keepers

The United States Brewers As
ISOLATION, which has just closed it's
annual convention at indianapolis,
has reiterated its determination to
put the brewing industry upon a
higher plane. The following reso.
lutions were adopted:
Resolved, That this convention
heartily congratulates the many
brewing associations in States and
cities that have taken the lead in
Graduating low and vile resorts
and in refusing to supply beer to
saloons that were not approved by
the public sentiment of their re-
spective communities.
Resolved, That all our m lem bers
continue in this wise policy, so that
the American public may be the
more quickly taught that American
beer is promoter Of genuine tenn
perance, beverages for the home
and Preside.
Resolved, That the immense in
crease in the consumption of Amer
lean beer has done more to estab-
lish sobriety than all the prohibit
tory laws in existence"
During the convention the inter
estlng tact vas brought cut that
the Texas brewers have for two
years spent $4,000 each month IN
closing vile saloons and low dIves
The association has the best Legal
talent to be found, corps OF train
ed electives and secures its own
evidence against saloon keepers
who do not run orderly places. Ii
is stated that the detectives of the
Texas brewers close three times al
many saloons as the police officials

Against DisOrderly Saloons.

''As the National Liquor Dealers
Association. recently liz session in
this city, as well as the brewers,
have declared against the disor-
derby sa Don. it is only a question
of tire when t-ose who conduct
them will he put out of business.
The License Board has decided
that it will be more strict than
ever this year in granting licenses,
and Will require owners of saloons
to show coed moral character, rs

1t looks like the saloon business
is doomed. With it will go the
politicians who think more of booze
and boozers than of sobriety and
men who stand for the protection

The Squire and The Governor.

When it comes to enforcing lid
laws Magistrate Frank Hoffman
has a notion or two of his own,
and where his ideas run counter to
those of the Governor he blithly
pitches all regard for executive
authority over his shoulder and
goes on abouG his business. He
pioclaims that all the alleged of
tenders look alike nor will he take
a hint even though it be Numbered
at him from the state Capitol
which goes to show that justice In
his court is not only blind as bat,
but stone deaf.
"I'll finn them all to the limit, F"
says the Squire grimIy, meaning,
of course, choir boys, cooks, coach
men, etc., who may happen to be
caught in the act of decorating the
Sabbath. This snticipatory judg-
ment, delivered days in advance OF
any hearing, goes several better
than the Magistrate OF tradition.
who, after listening to the pr, of
in a case, remarked that she
would take it under advisement
until next Wednesday when he
would decide for the plaintiff"
Furthermore his idea of giving
them all the limit does not, in his
zeal for tight lid, admit of the
possibility of degrees of guilt which
might in some courts make a diff
ference as to the amount of penal
~ imposed.
Squire Hoffman and his Con
stable soIemly and mysteriously
intimated that between now and
the time the cases are called fol
trial they will be preparing them
selves to "get arouRd' the Gov
ernor's pardon which may be issued
to some of those he has apparently
already convicted. Stripped Of
any special interest the affair

out of his most important preroga

the trick is so far closely guard

made up his mind that he's going
to maze the Governor sorry he
ever monkeyed with him.
IL can issue warrants as fast as
be can issue pardons," says the
Squire, throwing down the gaunt
let for a sort of justice versus
mercy speed contest. Ordinarily
az pardoning, the Governor ISM
rated as being much faster than
molasses in cold weather, but he
might be able to make some excep
tional effort in this instance
