PRICE FIVE CENTS

Silt. The people of that section are
very anxious for bridge and very
much in need of one. They have sew
eral times made known their needs to
the commissioners and the board fully
appreciates the situation but unfortu-
nately there are not sufficient funds
available to warrant letting a con-
tract for this year.
However, the commissioners some
time ago ordered the county surveyor
to make survey and locate site and
the survey was approved at this meet
ing and the site accepted and it Is
now the intention to build bridge
nearly opposite the Silt station but
this cannot be done until after the
next county levy has been made.
Mr. While has set out to raise
money to build the approaches and
already had over $500 suhscri bed and
says he will make it a thousand be-
fore he quits The commissioners
said they would insist on deeds for
right of way before they would take
any definite steps. Messrs. While,
Needham, Hasley and Ferguson from
whose ranches the right of way
will be required have all promised
to donate to the county the neces-
sary land and deeds have been pre-.
pard for tnat purpose.

better life our beloved brother
Thomas Ford;
BE 1T RESOLVED, That we deep

Brother in their bereavement, aud ex-

When do we die?
Not when enshrouded, the casket's lid

Severing each earthly tie.

Breathing celestial breath.
There is no death, our brother has

Colorado Immune from Quokes

Some people seem to be wondering
whether there will be an earthquake
disturbance some day in Denver.
They may abandon their fears, for
everything that geology can reveal on
the subject goes to show that the
Rocky Mountains are so old that they
long ago came out of the earthquake
stage. Earth movements occur where
mountain systems or other forms of
the surface are still developing. To
this class belong the Coast Range and
more OF less the whole of California
west of those mountains In connec-
tion with other evidence the deep
canons through which so many Rocky
Mountain rivers run prove that geo
logically this part of the world is very
old for to q large extent these canons
were made by the action of water and
Ice. In such region destructive earth
quakes may almost be said to be i'm.
possible. The primitive rocks form
the foundation Of our mountain sy,.

nights we have found that if ever
there was a foe to the extension of the
powers of government as advocated by
Bryan, Jefferson was that man. JEFF
ferson's simplicity did not stop with
the regulation of his private life, it
included government. He believed
the world is governed too much. His
theory was that nothing should be
done by the government that can be
taken care of by private enterprise.
1t is said by those who have read
them that there is no hint in all his
writings of state or national ownership
of railways and telegraph lines or the
municipal ownership of such public
utilities as street railways, lighting,
water works etc.
Will Mr.. Holmes agree to show
anything in the writings of jefferson
in any way favoring postal savings
banks or government insurance2 Now
we are under the impression that
Bryan does favor all of these things
and we therefore conclude that Bryan
and Jefferson are almost direct oppo-
sites. Now this is not saying that
Bryan is not right, the contention sim
ply is that he is not Jeffersonian
Democrat. Jeffersonian Democracy
is splendid rallying cry, but it means
nothing to some and to others it is
contradiction. 1t cuts no figure that
railway systems, street cars, tele
graph, telephone, etc, have developed
since Jefferson 8 time. the spirit of his
writings is against the extension of
the powers of government, whether
national, state or municipal. Pail

Sad Results of III Health

A sad case at the court house this
week was the inquisition as to the
sanity of Miss Maggie Barrett. daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Barrett
of East Elk creek, near New Castle.
Miss Barrett was girl of prefect
health until she reached the age of
fifteen years when she suffered an at
tack of spinal menengitis, since which
her condition has constantly heen
growing worse. For several weeks
she has been at the county hospital in
IL helpless condition. A jury found
that the young lady was irresponsible
and unable to care for herself and she

HUNGRY TOURISTS

probation of Breakfast Served
Them Last Sunday hOrn-
ing at Early Hour

Glenwood Springs entertained for
breakfast last Sunday morning a train
load of Californians and the citizens
VINO assisted in the serving have not
decided which enjoyed the occasion
the more, the guests or the home peo
pie, perhaps the latter as sit is more
blessed to give than to receive.
There are very few events that could
rouse score or more at the early hour
of O clock, especially on their weekly
rest day, but the troubles of others
were their troubles for the nom Mt
and not one but felt glad to be of ser
vice in so noble work as of feeding
the hungry.
The early breakfast hour did not
have tendency to reduce the tourists
appetites for their last meal was at
nom the day before and when the del
egation met them at the depot and in
vited them to the different
restaurants to enjoy good warm
meal, the news seemed almost too
good to be true to the homeless hun
dreds who said they had not expert
enced the luxury of sitting down TO a
table to eat since the night before the
earthquake
Those having the direction of the
work were Mayor and Mrs. Schwarz.
G. NJ. Keck, Mesdames F. C. Ewing,
j. K. Walsh, H B. Walz, E. T. Tay-
Ior, l.. G. Clark, J. n. Neeb and c.
A. Baker. The girls of the Ep-
worth League, Misses Carrie and
Bessie Thomas, Sarah Young. Ruth
Schwartz. and Nina Walz were on
hand to assist the ladies in serving at
the restaurants and carrying break
fast to those who were not able to
leave the coaches.
Some pitiful sights were witnessed,
but the one which impressed the ladies
most was the little baby with the
broken arm. They couldn't forget
the poor little tot all day. Some of
the men and women were poorly
clothed and while the train waited
few of their needs we've provided
for, but the time was too short to dc
much. AS the train pulled out the
men on board gave three iousing
cheers for Glenwood.

WORK STARTED
AT SHoSHONt
Over 100000 to Be Expended
on Gigantic, Electric Plant
To be Completed with
in Two Years

The Shoshone power plant begins to
assume an aspect of reality these days.
Antoine Jacobs, the company's engi-
neer from Colorado Springs has ar
rived and with gang of workmen
has commenced the work preparatory
to the construction of the plant.
The success of this mammoth en-
terprise is due to the energy of j. R.
DeRemer of this city. who for years
mas had in mind the Harvesting of the
falls, and has been endeavoring to in
terest capital sufficient to insure a
completion of the works. 1t is now
claimed that 81, 600, 900 will be ex-
pended within the next two years at
Shoshone and when the projected
plant is in operation, its capacity
will be equal to furnishing electricity
for the entire western slope, and at
such moderate cost as to put within
the reach of all the luxury of lights,
to say nothing of other electrical ap-
pliances which it will insure.
A temporary plant is to be built
with $500 horse power capacity,
which will be finished the first year,
while the permanent plant will be
more expensive and of larger capacity.
AS the demand for the product is
as unlimited as the possible supply.
there is every reason for the ultimate
success of the project and Glen wood
will benefit very materially from the
work SO close at hand.
This is one of the best things that
could have happened for Glenwood
and for which we should be thankful
to Mr.. DeRemer's 8 persistent efforts.

MERRY TINE AT
HOTEL COLORADO
More Than Hundred Guests At
tend Reading Club Banquet
Oiher Towns We're Well
Represented Also

The guests at the eighth annual
banquet of the Glenw ood Reading
club on Tuesday night unanimously
voted it the most successful and en-
tertaining function for which that
organization has been responsible.
The orchestra discoursed sweet
music ss the guests, 115 in number,
fled into the tastefully decorated and
brilliantly lighted dining room. An
eight course dinner was served in the
inimitable style for which the Hotel
Colorado is famous.
Mrs. Alice B. Clark presided over
the banquet as toastmistress in an
easy and graceful manner, introducing
the various speakers with witty stories
and appropriate quotations.
An address of welcome by the presi
dent, Mrs. Elizabeth Tully, was an
able resume of what women 3 clubs
have accomplished and convinced the
guests that there was not wanting that
"hearty welcome that makes a royal
feast.
Rev. j. w. Currens toasted the
guests in an able and witty speech
that merited hea1tles applause.
'Our Club was ably handled by
Miss Clifton who dwelt at length upon
the refining and educational influence
of such organizations.
That time worn theory that men are
opposed to women 8 clubs was exploded
by the hearty tribute paid the clubs
by G. A. st. Clair, who spoke in most
eloquent praise and prophesied the
very best for their future.
Mrs. w. F. Farnum in Looking
Backward" gave humorous account
of the trials of the ordinary club wo
man in dealing with the inevitable
Mr.. Bowser.
Mrs. Harry Richards, the club poet.
made reference to each member of
the club in a most humorous poem
which. like all that lady's eff
forts, was heartily applauded.
Mr.. H. j. Holmes handled the sub
ject Enterprise in an entertaining
speech.
Mrs. W. F. Berry responded to the
toast "Our New Members" in happy
manner that won for her many COM
pliments.
Eugene Grubb paid the highest trib
ute to women as club members and
home builders. In concluding his re-
marks concerning woman influence
in the home he said: IF Judge Shu
mate issues few more edicts there
will be no places for the poor men to
loaf and it behooves the wives and
mothers to make the homes so attrac-
tive that the men may be enticed to
spend more time therein
Words are scarcely adequate to de-
scribe the masterful speech of Father
O'Dwyer on "Modern Humor.' 1t
sparkled with wit and the frequent
and hearty applause which it elected
were but an added testimony to the
high esteem in which that reverend
gentleman is held by his friends-an
esteem that so closely resembles hero
worship that its frequent evidences
would turn the head of more worldly
man.

WHY SMITH WENT
INTO BANKRUPTCY

In the hearing by L. S. Judge Dole
of the petition of A T. Smith, a fire
man In the Honolulu Fire Department,
to be adjudged a bankrupt, the petit
toner was questioned about his note
to Charles Martin for $50.
The note was made in August, 1905,
the petitioner replied. and, though the
rate of interest was not stated therein,
it was understood between Martin and
him that he was to pay 10 per cent a
month.
AT this rate the maker of the note
would have paid s104 interest for the
thirteen months between the date of tho
note and that of his petition in voiun-
tary bankruptcy. That amount equals
the principal of $50 and 27.69 per cent
per annum interest
No wonder the victim sought sur
cease of financial agony in the bank
ruptcy court.

MANDAMUS AGAINST
MERRIAM ABSOLUTE

Judge De Bolt yesterday morning
made the writ absolute in the man
damus suit of Albert Trask against
Charles H. Merriam, Registrar of Con-
veyances, to compel the respondent to
record a deed stamped with 81, it's con-
sideration being S25.
, The defense was, briefly. that no af-
fidavit as required by law accompanied
the tender of the deed for record to
show that the amount named in the
deed was the sole consideration; also
that it was not the lawful function Of
the Registrar of Conyeyances to assess
the stamp duty, but that of the Regis
trar OF Public Accounts, It was stated
that the attorney of the petitioner pre-
scented the deed to the Registrar of
Public Accounts for such assessment,
but that official by direction of the
Treasurer refused to assess the duty
unless the attorney furnished an aft
davft relative to the consideration.
Attorney General Peters excepted to
the judgment of the court and his mo-
ton for a new trial being denied, noted
an appeal to the Supreme Court. An
tonic Perry appeared Tor petitioner.
Should Judge De Bolt be sustained
by the appellate court, there is likely
to be a shrinkage of revenue from
stamp duties, as we'll as the interjec-
ton of fictitious statements of values

TREASURER is UPHELD
IN REFUSING LICENSE

Treasurer Campbell has been unani-
mously sustained by the board of arbi-
tration on his refusal of a ffth-class
liquor license for Nine Miles, Olaa TO
John D. Souza. The applicant appealed
TO arbitration under the law. naming
A. Hooking as his representative. The
Treasurer named Frank Andrade to
represent him, and Messrs Hooking
and Andrade selected c. r. Henenway
as third member of the board.
There was a lot of letter writing, as
usual in such cases, one OF the self
constituted proctors for the applicant
inditing an insinuation that the oppo-
sition to the license was simply a
game of spite of the Portuguese pro-
testers, Mr.. j. Canario and his saloon
keeper"
Mr. Andrade. after the meeting OF ar
bitrators yesterday afternoon, announc-
ed the decision as follows:
1t was decided that the Treasurer
was right in refusing the license on the
ground that at the time of filing the
application for the license the applicant
did not have the written consent of
a majority of the property-holders
within a thousand feet of the proposed
AOSdIiOAly aIIuJ tIietC DSAOEc IifS
refusal was actually made there was
on file in the Office of the Treasurer a
protest signed by majority of the
registered voters in the precinct where
the applicant proposed to establish his
business
Mr.. Andrade answering question,
said the decision was unanimous. 1T
was a perfectly smooth elaboration"
he added; there was no wrargling."
