bad that still hangs fire, but the
findin' of the court above will be the
the same as the court below, I'm
sure. Yes, I'm lucky; there amt
onne luckier ON the face of the earth.
/ come into this camp with nothin-
now look at m" He chuckled quiet
ly to himself, and absent-mindedly
kicked his foot against the old shaft
collar. Here the place / struck
it rich. I dasn't blame the dogs of
war for being on my track. or
course they want a divvy of this
ere mine, but blank them, they ain
goin' to git it. No, sir; it's mine,
Rufus Grims. The COLDS all mine,
inside and outside, and no court nor
jury can git tween me and my am
bition. My first, yes, my eerlastin
ambition is gold, but standin' side
by side is this ere love for Helen.
Goddess her!
"There's only one like me, all
thanks are due to just myself. I've
had hard, rough time, ard no one
to help me-but one by one they've
had to git over on my side, and now
I'm on top of the heap-yes, by big
odds. I'll make my marriage u big
thing and with my gold and my
way-up wife, I'll begin livin'. No.
sir I've never lived before; I've
never had any flowers in my life;
Just thistles and hard, weary diggin'
has been for me, I've worked and
shaved and shaved and worked, but
now-now I'm gettin' ready to
live"
Thus Rufus Grim fed himself with
his own egotism, and recounted LIES
victories resulting from his indomit-
able exertions.
A dark form crouched near him,
dimly outlined in the uncertain light.
Presently it moved and crept stealth
fully, silently toward him. Then
there was hurried rush, whistling
noise cut sharply through the still
ARA stifed cry, heavy fall, and
the body of Rufus Grim plunged for
ward into the yawning mouth of the
old prospect shaft, and a LIES work
was over. His anticipated happiness,
his pompous joy, his earthly prosper
ity, his vanity and vainglory, all We're
over.
1t mattered not now as to what
the decision of the earth's court
might be, but rather the decision of
that higher court in Heaven. a
splash from the murky waters far
below resounded back to the outer
world like a farewell echo, and
Rufus Grims mangled remains rested
near the gold he loved so well. In
the vault where his manhood had
been bartered for gold, he fell asleep,
There was gold on every side
gold above him, gold beneath him
priceless mausoleum.
At last all that was mortal OF this
man of inordinate worldly ambitions
and restless energy reposed in the
endless sleep of unbroken stiffness.
And thus from lifes map passed
foever away Rufus Grim, sans hap
piness, sans home, sans hope.

CHEAPER POSTAGE BETWEEN
UNITED STATES AND ENGLAND

II will be Interesting to the readers
OF the Daily Record to learn that as
the result of a special postal conven-
ton between the authorities at Wash
ington and London, held several
months ago, letters may now be sent
from any part of this country to any
address in the United Kingdom OF
Great Britain and Ireland for two
cents, the same rate as required for
domestic letters. The new law. which
went into effect October !. will be ap-
preciated by all people having social
or business connections on the other
side OF the Atlantic. and, IL is believ-
ed. will give big stimulus to postal
matters between the two countries.
The charge for carry a letter from
the United States to Great Britain.
and vice versa. was five cents for each
ounce until two years ago when II
was changed to one ounce. or fraction
thereof. The reduction to two cents
an ounce will. of course. greatly di-
minish the revenue. but it is expected
will more than double the volume of
business. The new rate applies to first
class mail only. Up TO noon today no
letters had been mailed at the local
once for England at the reduced rate
OF postage. Letters are now carried
from the United States to Mexico.
Canada. Great Britain, the Philippine
Islands. Cuba, Porto Rico. Hawaii.

OLD GENTLEMAN KILLED
PINE DEER LAST WEEK

Alfred Gerton and w. NJ. Rungen re-
turned from their hunting trip Friday
morning. bringing home with them a
splendid two hunded and fifteen
pound deer killed by the latter about
O'Clock the previous afternoon. Mr..
Runger is 79 years of age and has
been a hunter and trapper since he
was a young man. Although until this
season had not been on a deer hunt
for several years. That he should have
secured so fine a deer the first day is
highly creditable TO his skill as hunt
er and a marksman. He fired but one
shot. the bullet piercing the deer just
behind the shoulder from which it
dropped dead in its tracks. Mr.. Run
gems friends suggest that some of the
young men who have been out hunt
ing for a week drop around at his
house and afford him an opportunity

cessful deer hunting.

FORMER FREMONT COUNTY MAN
AT HEAD OF GREAT ENTERPRISE

Aman Moore. founder of the cement
making industry at Portland in this
county, but now . resident OF los
Angeles, California, is one Of the lead
Ing spirits in the great cement manu-
featuring enterprise at Lake Pend
Oreille, Warrington. with headquart-
ers in Spokane. The company, which
is composed largely Of Las Angeles
people, il capitalized at $500 900 and
1t Is proposed to build a plant that
will employ 125 men who will draw
$4,000 q month in salaries and wages
and will turn out 1900 barrels of the
finished product daily, worth $1,000.
With a perfect equipment in the
matter Of machinery. transportation,
etc. it Is computed by the company
that it can put high class cement on
the Spokane market at 81 a barrel
about one third less than the prices
that now prevail there for that char
acter of merchandise. On Lake Pend
Oreille is a cliff OF cement making
rock that rises 1400 feet above the
surface of the water, estimated to
contain at least 10000, 900 900 tons,
equivalent to 5000. .0O0, 900 barrels of
cement. worth at 81 a barrel $10,-
600. .oO0, 900.
This great deposit is located at the
waters edge of a navigable lake and
the cement can be transported to
market at a minimum OF cost, a big
advantage in the success Of the enter
prise There are to be fifteen distinct
buildings, covering eleven acres of
ground, for which an initial outlay Of

PRISON ROAD MAKlNG
GANG TO Be INCREASED

1t is reported on excellent author
ity that the prison road making gang
now at Camp Morley in Las Animas
county. will shorty be increased to
one hundred men and that 1t will be
kept at work there until the legisla-
ture meets In January when 1t is ex-
pected that a further appropriation
will be made to continue the con-
way from the New Mexican line
ing The experiment of carrying out
this great enterprise by convict labor
has proven to be q success and there
appears to be little reason to doubt
that the general assembly will supply
The money to help things going until
ii is finished.
There is nothing quite like the pris-
on camp At Morley anywhere In the
United States and 1t Is being watched
with great interest by people in all
parts OF the country, 80 much SO. in
fact. that II may revolutionixe the in
dustrial life OF convicts In all OF the
present time there are oDiy about sew
enty-fve prisoners At Camp Morley.
which. Is, however. considerably less
than the number employed In the road
making gang most Of the summer. 1t
would cost . large sum OF money to
maintain the mules and horses used
in the prosecution Of the road work
at Camp Morley In Canon City during
the winter mouths, and, II they can
be kept at work down there. It will
materially lessen the expense at the
penitentiary.

many people are under the Impression
that Portland cement comes fro0
Portland. Maine, Portland, Oregon.
or Portland, England, a few historical
facts in relation to this very import
ant material may not be amiss In this
connection.
Portland cement was first made In
England in 1924 and was called Port
land cement because 1t resembled .
natural building stone called Port
land stone.
This stone came from the Isle of
Portland, which is called an isle BE-
cause it is really = peninsula Brit
ish jest committed centuries ago.
There wasn't much doing in Port
land cement until 1850, when the
French and Germans took hold Of It
and made things hum. Since then Ger
many has done more for the industry
than France. Up to a few years ago
about all the good cement came from
Germany.
Although this country is at the top
OF the heap today in doing things with
concrete the industry here II . mat
ter of fifteen years. growth. Twenty
years ago We imported all our cement,
certainly all our good cement. Now
the United States may be said to have
arrived. Some makers tell you that
American cement is as good as or
better than the foreign product, and
even the conservatives say that with
the exception of possibly two foreign
brands our product is Just as good.
