We, Your Committee on Platform and
Resolution, report as follows:
The Democracy of E1ko County,

pride and satisfaction endorses and
ratifes the Charter of human rights as

vitality concerns the welfare of the
entire people, Nation and State, and

ton and Legislation, through which the
sons and SONS of man will until time is
no more, by thrift and enterprise and
toll secure those rewards that ever make

the welfare of a Nation. We earnestly

THE GREATEST INCREASE IN
VALUE IS GOING TO TAKE
PLACE IN BEAVER PARK.
ALSO THE QUICKEST
INCREASE.
The Beaver Land and Irrigation Co. is
selling 1000 acres and will sell 1900 add-
tonal when their reservoir system shall have
been completed.
These reservoirs will require from
three years for completion.
To sell 2 900 acres the Beaver company will
have to take several thousand people through the
tract. and show them what has been accomplished
by those bought the first 1000 acres.
Hundreds will want improved partially inn
proved places SO those who buy in Beaver Park
will get the benefit of all the advertising the .
company must do to sell the remainder of it's
land.
Every dollar you spend in Beaver Park will
double in two years. You buy twenty
and by improving it. sell 10 acres for enough
to clear 10 acres In two years.
You will not doubt this if you take the time to
Beaver Park. 1t is the most beautiful location
in Colorado. The soil is finer for fruit than any
other and the land will all ultimately be worth
$4,000

The mutton market was uneven

day, but declining sharply after
that, especially on heavy weight
lambs. with small recovery at the
close Of the week says j. A. Rickart.

mutton situation in the east is given
as reason for the break last week.
The supply Tuesday was 10. 600 head i.
sheep strong, lambs shade lower,
particularly heavy weights. Top
lambs Tuesday brought $6.s5,
weighing seventy-ive pounds, while
heavier lambs sold at $500, wethers
and yearlings mixed at $5.55. ewes
at s4.75 to $500, and light yearlings
worth up to $6.25. Feeding lambs

How some people do swell up
when you send them statement of
account--especially for subscription.
Some of them are SO much offended
that they come around and stop the
paper. Two weeks later they OBJ
serve, with great surprise. that we
are still on earth. and come around
and subscribe over again for their
better halves. Il don't care con-
tinental for the paper myself" they
remark. but my wife likes to read
it and says she must have it. so
here's your dollar and a half, this
time in advance. and don't forget
to stop the sheet when the time
runs out" Selah! Some of our
subscribers claim they never re-
ceived dun" before in their lives
until we sent 'em one. What happy
mortais they must be. On the first
day of each month the great family
journal receives "duns" from paper
houses, type foundries. ink manu-
facturers. and SIGH, with notice
attached. Kindly honor our draft
on the 9TH instant for the amount
due" We learned long ago that it
don't do particle of good to swell
up about it, and if we did the whole
sale houses would continue to make
their regular monthly demand until
the end of time and not care con-
tinental whether we swelled up or
not. Wonder what some of our de-
linquents would say and do if we
sent them a dun with the notice
attached. This amount is past due;
kindly honor our draft on the 18th
instant. One is just as legitimate
and proper as the other. Some day
and it won I be long either, we hope
the swelled up delinquent subscrib-
er will turn up his toes. His heart
will be stilled forever. Neighbors
and friends will follow his lifeless
clay to the silent city and lay them
to rest among the flowers. An
obituary will be published in these
columns telling what kind father,
a good neighbor and beloved citizen
he was, which the recording angel.
as usual in such cases made and pro-
vided, will overlook for sweet chari-
ty's sake. and in very short time
he will be- forgotten. As he lies out
there in the cold graveyard wrap
ped in the silent slumber of death,
land enclosed in coffin which he
still owes the undertaken for, he
will never know that the last kind
word spoken of him was by the
editor of that paper which in life he
so spitefully stopped" Did you
ever pause just for a moment and
think that your editor, whoever he
may be. will write your obituary
some day?

No As. on e,.'sh. Cars.

The rule adopted by the Master
Car Builders association prohibiting
the placing of advertisements on
box cars has been effective in great
~ improving the appearance of the
cars on the several railroads.
Formerly it was the practice of
shippers of any commodity to affix
to car in which their goods was
being hauled large sign telling the
nature of their wares. Each sue
cessive shipper following this policy.
the cars were soon bedecked so as to
present the appearance of a movir g
bill board. Shippers thus secured
an ad for small cost and the car
was ruined as far as appearances
went.
The Master Car Builders at their
last session took the matter up and
adopted scale providing for a fine
for every advertisement found on a
car. One dollar for pasted signs
and SO cents for tackled signs was
imposed, the delivering line at a
junction point where the car was
handled paying the fine. Now the
railroads invaribly have a sign taken
off a car as quickly as it is discover
ed. and shippers who tack or paste
their ad on box car have their
wasted.
