WRITING THE OLD FOLKS.

One day last week a Denver bust
ness man was seated at his desk writ
ing, when his office boy entered the
room.
Mr.. Blank" said the boy, the
man who wants to buy your apart
ment house is outside in an auto.
He's in big hurry; wants you to go
and show him the building right
now"
The business man paused in his
writing. Tell him I'll be out in ten
minutes. I'm writing a letter"
1t was $4,000 propositions: but
the business man took his time and
finished his letter. After sealing it,
stamping it and dropping it in the
mail he hurried out and Joined the
prospective buyer
Had to finish letter" he said.
1T was to mother and dad Hadn't
written them for two weeks"
That man might be held up as an
example to a lot of us. As rule.
people who have old parents are not
thoughtful enough in regand to them.
After the average person passes
three score and ten there is little in
life to interest him but the welfare
of his loved ones. And if these loved
ones are far away. what can bring
more JOY to an old heart than a let
ter?
Think, Don't you know of an old,
sray-haired man of woman who is
ysarning for letter. or even a short
note, from you?-Denver Post

WORK VIII not he started Tor SiN
or eight months.
complete set of new plans was
made by this expert Sunday and Mon
day, when he was on the grounds.
The available space is the 500 feet
between the present roundhouse and
the machine shop.
The old shops will be fitted up for
car repairing, and the ten-pit shop
will be brick building 325x130 feet
and Will likely be OF the longitudinal
design, with an electrical crane at
either end. the cranes being so ar
ranged that they can be used separ-
ately or together.
The new blacksmith shop will be
140x75 feet, and the storeroom
100x50 feet.
The buildings Will all be well built
structures with steel columns. The
machinery at present in use is being
carefully looked over and all out-of-
date pieces will be shipped away for
use in smaller shops. New machin-
cry will then be sent in, electrically
equipped, the Salda Electric Light,
Power & Utility Company being ca
pable of furnishing the entire $50
horsepower at any time. The new
ing shop repairs on ten engines a
month.
The new engines now ready for
the road will not be put in service
until the shop is nearly complete.
Over 60 more engines pass through
Salida this year than did last. and it
mas become pressing need that the
shops should be enlarged and. prop
erly equipped. The present machin-
cry is all badly worn and not heavy
enough for standard gauge work, and
will eventually be forced out of use
1t is possible to handle only three
engines at a time in the present shops
and then everything is SO crowded
that much time is lost in carrying
parts back and forth to the work
bench. With the new equipment
there will be a space of 20 feet be-
tween the pits, with a workbench in
the center.
1t lis estimated that the new shops
Will employ l50 expert machinists
300 helpers and seconds, besides the
blacksmiths, springmakers, etc. 1t
is said that the company will put in
men from the Virginia institute oil

NO LAW TO KEEP
TROUT OUT OF DITCH

State Game Commissioner Farr, in
referring to the article criticising the
game commissioner office because it
did not prevent the allowing of trout
TO get into the irrigating bitches.
stated that there was no law in the
state that gave the game commits
sioner or anyone else the right to
force the owners of bitches to screen
them.
He states that he had attempted
to get such law through the last
legislature, but the members of the
legislature simply laughed at him
and did nothing to correct the evil
Mr.. Farr appreciates the serious
ness of the situation as much as any
one and would be glad to compel the.
owners of all bitches along trout
streams to screen them and to pre-
vent the trout from leaving the
streams and going down the bitches.
but. under the circumstances, it is
impossible for him to do anything

tONn.
This is the first time the game has
been introduced with a public ex-
hibition. over in England some of
the country clubs have tried the
sport, and it has been found equal
to pony polo in interest and excite
ment. Whether the game will be-
come popular in this country remains
to be seen, but as our people are al
ways on the lookout for novel forms
of amusement. it would not be sur
prising if il were taken up and tried
out by horsemen in the United States.
The ball used is of mammoth size,
made of rubber, and by humping it
about the riders and their horses
manipulate the sphere from goal to
goal, playing the game under special
rules. All of the fine points of the
regulation game of football are
brought out in the horse play" of
the Wild West, and it is said that the
game played under these conditions
is highly exciting and decidedly
amusing.
There will be many other inter
| esting features with the Wild West,
and many forms of amusement. Ray
| Thompson trained western range
horses will contribute a surprisingly
stunts after the fashion of the
| trained thoroughbred of the circus
| arena. There will be all styles of
| rougnriding by horsemen represent
| ing the equestrian nations of the
world. There will be the Cossacks
from Russia, the Arabian with his
thoroughbred steed. English cavalry
aisplays, roughriding by our own
cowboys and American Indians, and
wide variety of style" in all the
riding exhibits.
The big battle scenes will intro
duce hundred full-blooded Indians; (;
troops of cavalry and artillery, and
appearing in every scene, Col. VIM.
F. Cody. the original and only Buff
falo Bill, viii! ride at the head of his
| cavalcade of horsemen, directing
each performance and seeing per-
sonally to every detail of the enter
| tainment.
There is no other form of amuse-
ment which affords so much divers
ity as does the Wild West perform
ance. OF course, horsemanship is the
| leading characteristic of the exhibit
ton, but there is enough of open air
mclodrama and pictures of historic
scenes to lend diversity which
stamps the Buffalo Bill Wild West
as distinctive institution, alone in
its class and in IA class unto itself.

FOOTBALL ON HORSEBACK.

Bits Wild West ShOws-New
Styles of Playing the Grid
iron Game.

OF the many novel and inter-
esting features with Buffalo
Bilrs Wild West, football on
horseback is probably the most
unique form of entertainment
yet introduced. One can hardly
believe that the art of horse
training has been perfected to
such an extent that game of
football can be played by men
on horseback, but that such is
really the case will be proven
when the Wild West comes to
town.

Primary Returns.

The returns from the primary
election on Tuesday are very slow
in coming in and are still incon
plete, but according to latest re-
ports Crawford has carried the state
by about 1000 majority. Returns
on the state ticket are more meagre
than on Senator, BUTT now appears
that the stalwarts have nominated
Martin for congress, with the vote
between Burke and Hall close ]:
that they have also nominated
johnson for state treasurer; j. j.
Waltner for secretary Of state, and
Hans O. Wickrie for railroad com
missioner. The balance of the
ticket seems to be safely insur-
gent.
