WHAT THE KANSAS COLORADO ROAD
WILL DOFOR THE ARKANSAS VALLEY

People in Pueblo who are not famil-
lar with the development Of rural dis
tricts In eastern states by suburban
and interurban electric lines, find it
difficult to realize what the railroad
and power lines of the Kansas-C Colo
RADIO companies will do for the Arkan-
sas valley. f-af
Colorado has the advantage of those
eastern districts in the greater wealth
and variety OF its natural resources
and especially of those raw materials
that are the basis of large industries.
We have the advantage in fertility
Of soil and system of irrigation that
makes 1t possible to support a much
larger agricultural population in a
given area than can be supported in
eastern states.
We have the advantage in a climate
that gives a much higher average of
physical efficiency as well as a high
er average of physical comfort than
In possible elsewhere.
These things tend toward dense pop
ulation. toward physical and mater
ial well being, and toward higher CIV
ilixati0n.
A system Of electric railways and
OF electric power lines such as planned
by the Kansas-Colorado companies. is
ths one thing above all others that is
necessary to bring into close Esuch
all the numerous natural resources
and industrial and commercial oppor-
tunities of this region. and to develop
and maintain the highest activity and
efficiency o. all its people.
Experience in eastern states has
showl beyond any doubt .aat such q

FRONTIER SKETCHES

On another occasion the Smead and
Dow families went over on the Little
Thompson after wild cherries which
| were plentiful. All were feeling jolly
and the little boys who were along
were running about and making lots
Of noise. The children were shouting
and throwing stones and having .
good time generally.
Mr.. Smead did not like it at all that
the boys were making SO much noise
for as he mentioned to DR.. Dow. there
might be Indians about.
The doctor laughed at the idea, but
Smead's surmise proved to be correct
The next morning the Doctors team
and a dun riding mare were gone. The
mare had young colt but the Indians
did not take it. After the mare had
been gone three days she came run
ming up to the corral nefghing for her
colt.
When the old Chief Niwot, other
wise known as Left Hand, killed a
neighbor named Mcfarland, the set-
tiers had exciting times. 1t was only
a few days after the killing that a
man named Phillips and and Nj Wot
met and had a hand-to-hand fight.
During the struggle Phillips, who
short and stocky, got his arms around
the old Indian and began hugging
him, bear fashion, Nj Wot all the time
trying to jab an arrow into the pale
face. While the struggle was on old
man Ripley and Bill Elliott appeared
on the scene, Ripley carrying a horse
pistol He walked up close to the
struggling pair and placing the pistol
to the Indians head. fired.
Many a prayer OF thanks went up
from the settlers when they heard tina,
Chief NJ Wot had been gathered in.

line does not operate to the disad-
vantage Of local interests but on the
contrary it tends to bring higher prop
erty values and better business oppor-
tunities in the towns as well as in the
rural districts along the line.
Pueblo, the largest city of the val
ley, the most centrally and most fa-
vorably located, cannot fail to be i'm
mensely benefited both by the direct
results of the construction of these
electric railway and power lines. but
also by other indirect consequences
resulting from their presence.
Experience in eastern states has
shown that the electric railroads do
not reduce the business of the steam
lines, but on the contrary the trolley
lines serve as feeders for the steam
roads. and all the business the latter
lose in certain lines is more than made
up to them in other ways.
The building up Of the Arkansas val
ley, its increase in population, and
wealth, cannot fail to be of immeas-
ureable benefit to Pueblo which must
always be the chief center of popu1a-
ton, of industry and OF commerce for
this region.
There is every reason to believe
that the Kansas-Colorado enterprises
will prove to be the right key-found
after long search-which will unlock
the treasures of the surrounding hills
and will give to Pueblo at last her
rightful Inheritance, enabling her to
take her place as the fairest, the
proudest and the richest among the
cities of the west--Pueblo Chieftain.

One OF the oldest settlers OF Boulder
county was Chester L. smead who
squatted on the Left Hand and set up
little sawmill before the homestead
law had been enacted.
Things were not altogether propi-
tous in those days. for the country
was as raw as o beefsteak and the
grub often fell short. One time the
family supply OF -four gave out and
smead had to go for new lot. He
yoked mp four head OF oxen and set out
for Black Hawk which was then the
nearest point where he could obtain
the necessary flour. OF course, as all
settlers did in those days. he had to
travel during the night in order to
keep away from the Indians who at
that time were plentiful.
He was nearing the end OF his re-
turn journey when a terrible thunder
and lightning storm came up. The
oxen became scared and refused to go
on. Finally he alighted from the wag-
ON and went around In front OF the
leaders to see what the trouble was
and before he could catch himself he
fell over clin. The leaders began to
follow him, but the wheel oxen held
them from tumbling all the way down
onto the unfortunate man.
He was not much hurt and was soon
able to crawl back into the wagon. In
the morning he was up early to find
place of shelter for the day and
there about 400 yards away was his
own little log house.
The experience at the precipice was
one OF the narrow escapes of his life
but the sight OF his house and the
smoke coming from the chimney look
ed like the rainbow of promise.

CHAIRMAN VIVIAN ISSUES CALL
FOR REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

II the powers that be in the party
will keep their hands of and let the
two candidates, both of whom are pop
ular, make their individual fight, the
convention will be one of the warmest
contests that has been witnessed in a
Republican convention in some time.
AS to the judges of the supreme
court almost every Republican lawyer
of ability in the state is being dis
cussed in his locality.
There are four to be elected and this
gives almost every section of the state
the right to feel that it is entitled to
one No doubt when the convention
NETS unless 4 slate is framed up there
will be candidates galore for those
four positions.
The convention will also nominate
three railroad commissioners. Already
several aspirants for these positions
are coming into view.
With this number of candidates to be
selected. there is no reason why every
section of the state cannot be repre-
scented upon the ticket and it behooves
the outside sections and especially the
smaller counties to get together in
such a manner as to demand and Sc
cure a certain amount of recognition.
This can apply to both parties In
times past some of the larger counties
have combined and carried on practi-
cally everything. There is no excuse
for this this year, especially with the
list above named, together with the
three congressman. the state chairman
and secretary.
As to the congressman-at-larg q
number OF persons have been promi-
nently mentioned among them being
I Congressman Boynage Of the First,
John F. Vivian. George " Cook and
Senator Burger.
, AS to the congressman from the
First district Mr., Burger is being dis
cussed. also Mr.. Boyanage, H. L. Rit-
ter and several others.
Congressman Haggott took occasion
to cinch his nomination in the Second
district when the state convention was
held in Pueblo by having a congress
sional convention held and instructins
a committee to nominate him.
For the position OF state chairman .
number of persons have been discuss
ed, but 1t will probably be Mr.. Vivian,
unless he should succeed in securing
the nomination Of eongressman-at-
large.
Should he secure this nomination
the Indications are that some other
chairman will be chosen.
As to United States senator the Re-
publican convention will not instruct
for anyone but will await the meeting
OF the legislature next year and let
that body select whomsoever 1t pleas

Denver, Aug. l0.-State Chairman
Vivian Saturday issued the oficial call
for the Republican convention to be
held in this city Saturday, September
r. The call is issued pursuant to the
action of the Republican state central
committee at its meeting held in Den
yer two weeks ago today. The call is
for the purpose of nominating five
presidential electors. one congress-
man-at-large, one governor, one lieu
tenant governor, Que secretary of state
one attorney general. one auditor of
state, one state treasurer, one superin-
tendent of public instruction. one
Judge Of the supreme court for the six
court for q term of ten years. one rail-
road commissioner for two years, one
year term, two judges of the supreme
railroad commissioner for four years
and one for six years. two regents Of
the state university. The convention
will be held In the auditorium and will
have 1.105 delegates.
Denver. Aug. 10.-With the approach
of the two state conventions comes
the almost hourly announcement of
new candidates for positions.
The announcements are being made
with greater rapidity in the Demo-
,r,t;o ~urks than thav aro In the Re-
publican ranks. For the most part in
the latter party the leaders. as we'll as
many OF the members Of the rank and
file, believe that those who are hold
ing once and who desire to continue
should be allowed to do SO because
of their records during the admins
tration.
So far as the govership is concerned
| II is generally conceded that ex-Gov-
ernor Mcdonald will receive the nomi-
nation by reclamation. The general
feeling is that he is entitled to the
nomination by reason OF the various
circumstances surrounding the last
state convention and by reason of the
fact that he made good to the fullest
degree when he was governor.
So far there Is but one candidate for
secretary Of state and that Is Timothy
lO'Connor the present incumbent State
Auditor Statler desires to be advanced
one notch and given the candidacy for
state treasurer and doubtless his de-
sire will be gratified. Attorney General
Dickson and Superintendent Of Public
Instruction Craig are both candidates
for reelection and SO far no opposition
has been announced against them.
As for the state auditor there are
two candidates, Warren 8. Daniels, the
present deputy state auditor and s. H.
Stevens Of Trinidad.
Both men are making hot fight for
the nomination and both claim to have
It corralled.

Ely and the mines precincts, nine are
said TO be engaged in the saloon bust
ness. Have We been mistaken and IS
it a liquor dealers convention that
is coming up? Also, was It Wednes-

These are matters Of moment TO the

We cannot refrain from urging the To-
cal Democratic organ TO please shed
more light than has lately appeared
on the subject, provided always that
a Democratic organ can give light.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-09-12

The unbounded enthusiasm Of the
Democracy in this county is reflected
in red letters in the Bryan dollar
campaign fund, upon the building
ND of which the local Democratic
organ has expended space, and eff
fort TO the extent of its ability. To
date the enthusiasm of local Demo-
Gratis for Bryan is represented in
the magnificent sum of S42, produc-
ed by ~ individuals. One of these,
at least, General Banks. colored, con-
tributed his dollar because he thought
the poor Democratic gentlemen
and their lame campaign should be
looked upon from the standpoint of
charity To the pleadings OF the
poor Democratic gentlemen the
heart of the general opened and his
dollar came forth Base ingratitude
twas on the part of the poor Demo-
cratic gentlemen to later saddle
upon the general the odium of asso-
citation politically with the Democe
racy. Aside from this, however,
comment is pertinent on the differ
ence between IL Democrats to the
