APPOINTMENT OF HELM DON'T
SUIT US.
(Ouray Herald

Joseph c. Helm was appointed on
Monday, by Governor Buchtel. to the
supreme judge vacancy left by the
death of Judge Charles F. CaswelL.
There are those, and the number is
legion, who do not believe that the
governor acted wisely in making this
appointment. Not but that Judge
Helm is qualifed-he may or may not
be-but because the Western Slope had
reason to feel that the appointment
would be gwen to Judge King of Delta.
The governor was responsible for this
feeling that Judge King would receive
the appointment. 1t was generally
conceded that the governor would ap-
point him. Every encouragement had
come from the executive Office to that
effect. The Western Slope felt itself
entitled to the appointment. Judge
Caswell was elected from the Western
Slope and his successor in such case
should have been Western Slope man.
AS the people Of the Republican party
on this side had practically agreed to
Judge Kings being appointed, it seems
that the governor has overreached him.
self to have appointed man from the
eastern part of the state-the city of
Denver-who was not a candidate at
all; had no right to expect the appoint
ment and was not in position to ac-
cept it, except that he resign his posi-
ton with the Rock Island road. and
this he would not have done without q
promise of the nomination for the
judgeship next fall.
1t is said that the governor wanted
Helm on the bench to help to establish
his pet railroad measure as constitu
tional. This may be true or not, but il
is fact that the governor has done sc
many things that is disappointment
to the people that he himself is rapidly
becoming disappointment. Whether
these acts have been the result of po'
litical trickery or ignorance, they de-
note incompetency, and the governor
has fallen far short Of the mark of at
tanning position beside the men of the
country who are especially noted for
having a peculiar quality known as
backbone.

In the spring of 1886 l took my first

Larue Creek and was one of the big
gest infidels in the state, and that |
would never sell him a book on a relig-
ious subject. When l got to his place
he was out in his young orchard trim

visit and soon sold him my book, and

there was one little building where a
few of the necessaries of life could be
secured. l visited nearly all the old
pioneers on this trip, enjoying it very
much, and had excellent success with
taking orders for my book. A few
days after my return it began to look
a little cloudy and asked my sisters
family if they didn't think it might
rain, but they said no danger of that,
as it never rained in this country to
amount to anything. Our cabin was

straw, and then dirt for roof. Well,
that spring it did rain, and after rain

number One.
People who have located in Delta
County in late years have very little
conception of what the early pioneers
went through in building up homes
here. The Indians were removed in
August 1881. In September H. A..
Castle came down from Ouray and
looked the reservation over and decided
to locate ranch on the Gunnison river.
The following February Mrs. Castle,
my sister, came from Michigan to
Gunnisop, which was the end of the
d. 4 r. G. railroad. MIR. Castle, with
a burro train, came over the Black
Mesa for her.
My father, G. W. States, and Mrs.
Castle and her two children were at
the hotel, and when Mr.. Castle got
over and pitched camp by digging
away the snow he came and got the
family. Upon arriving at the camp
they thought surely they would die
camping in tent, so cold and so much
snow, but they all rested well and the
next morning it was showing to beat
the band and kept it up steady for
three days. As they had good sheet
iron stove they kept quite comfortable.
