War at Long Range.

Throughout the kaiser maneuvers
both commanders remained right AT
the back OF their armies. The picture
drawn by the war correspondents OF
Field Marshal Oyama conducting the
battle of Mukden out of hearing OF the
guns and out OF sight OF the dead ana
dying is no exaggeration. The anxiety
OF Count Bismarck al the recklessness
with which old King William exposed
himself To fire during. the Franco-Prus-
sian war would have no parallel To-Day
II Germany went To war. Inc 1act
that after leaving the general com
mand OF one OF the two armies one
could traverse miles of road without
meeting the main body, baggage
trains and occasional stragglers being
the only signs of war. was the most
striking lesson the maneuvers taught.

Thursday afternoon was one
of showers and lightning calcu-
lations that came very close to
all of US, and resulted in knock
ing hole into the roof of r. S.
Campbell's residence and burn
ing out the electric light meter.
The house is quite we'll equipped
with lightning rods but it never
phased them. The first storm
came up about 5 o'clock, and it
rained torrents with some harm
less hail, and to the southwest an
ugly looking cloud hung over US,
but it only dipped and went east
without damage. The electric
storm followed about Z o'clock
with another heavy rain. If this
has ever been dry country the
old settler has almost forgotten
it. Crops could not look more
promising in any country.

Pertinent remarks were made
by S. f. Stevenson, G. l.. Gun

Fry and others. Mr.. Stevenson
reminded the large audience that
he was unable to give of his own
means and would have to depend
upon the men vitality interested
and who were able to bear part
OF theburden financially. 1t was
the sense of the meeting that
slight monthly fee should be paid
by every member, and in way of
suggestion it was thought the fee
should be graded, all business
men paying 50 cents and those
who labored 25 cents a month.
The Grit-Advocate was highly
pleased to see such agreeable
ness on all sides and a determi-
nation to boost. Such an organ
ization will accomplish untold
good to Julesburg and should
have been inaugurated before,
since it is the only way to get
people to move and big interests
toact in Julesbnrg's behalf when
it has something to ask.

THE GREAT SUMMER TRIP.

One of the most delightful
scenic trips in the entire Rocky
Mountain region is the one over
the Motfat road which runs out
of Denver, Colorado, to the crest
of the Continental divide The
road is being constructed from
Denver to Salt Lake City, Utah,
and passes through the most
rugged and Picturesque region
in the entire range of the Rocky
mountains.
The line has become favorite
one-day trip for tourists who
come to Denver to escape the
sum mer's heat in lower attitudes.
The traiA leaves Denver in the
morning and by noon has reach
ed the banks of eternal snow on
the crest of the Continental di-
vide, 1860 feet high. These
banks of snow lie along the track
all summer and are a great at
traction for thousands of tour
lists who visit them annually.
The train gets back to Denver at
$50 in the evening.
If you look at the map of
northwestern Colorado you will
see that there is a section of that
state as large as several smaller
eastern states which is almost
entirely withouta railroad. The
Moffat road is being constructed
by D. H. Moffat of Denver, a
multi millionaire and banker,
and opens up a region wonder
fully rich in coal and mineral.
The fact that the tourist taking
one-day trip over this road is
able to 60 from the heat and
flowers of summer to the snow
and frosts of winter at an alti-
tude Of nearly 1900 feet, in a
few hours, has made this line
famous all over the United
States.
