That Word "Grouch."

Yesterday mornings Denver Re.

menting on the criticism raised by
4 Central City man who claimed that
the Republican had no authority tc
use the word Crouch" in the col
umns reserved for the brainy writ
ings of the editor. The Republican S
comment in part follows:
Central City can take it from us
that 'grouch"gets where it starts for
and is good. sound, sensible word
especially handy in the Christmas
season for telling what not to be.

The New!ouse Article.

We unhesitatinsIy give II. c. eol-
singer, of Nevadaville, credit for the
splendid writeup on the first page
page Of this issue, pertaining to the
Newhouse tunnel. Mr.. eoIsinser
who has ever been recognized as one
of the county's most persistent boost
ers, was quick to see the value of
such interesting data to the mine
owners and operators of the Quartz
hill section. II is doubtful If any
one else is in possession of SO wide
fund of information on the prop
critics on the line of the Newhouse
tunnel as is Mr.. BoIsinger, espec-
tally the mines about to be intersect-
ed by the tunnel. The gentleman
has worked in practically every mine
mentioned in the article and this
readily explains why he can write SO
inteIIisentIy upon this particular sub
ject. The article in addition to the
the map showing the veins to be
cut by the Newhouse and the ad-
joining mines will be found most val
liable for reference as the driving of
the tunnel progresses and undereuts
the various Iodes.

Great Charitable Work.

The Salvation Army continues it's
helpful ministrations among us. Cap
tain Wilson is not able to report
many converts to his ranks, but
there is no doubt that he is doing
service to the people of the county
that is worth much in this place.
The captain and his assistant Off
GERS have visited many homes during
this Christmas season. They have
acted with simple friendliness and
sincerity that has won them the res
pect of the community.
Captain Wilson's relief work has
been free from the Objectionable
showiness that is the curse of many
charitable efforts. He has made him
self the link between those who could
and would give and those who through
some stress of present misfortune
had need of help. These Salvation
Army people in our midst are cour-
ageous. devoted Captain Wilson is
setting the example in practical
way of the simple life; he is show
ing in a manly way the force of SER
vice; he is adding in a Christ-like
way a joyous courage to the task Of
the hour.
The Observer gives the Salvation
Army it's own New Years greeting
