The tears of a local organ with
regard TO lack of a first class road
across the Nat at Cherry Creek are
not honest. The weeping brother is
fully aware that the county is alto
gether too poor to build highway
across this fiat that would afford good
travel throughout the year. Such
highway. due to the DOGGY stretch
through which it must pass, may not
be built for less than $4,000 If for
that. With the county too poor TO
permit of the detection and capture
of criminals. it thereby being made
the abettor of criminal acts within
its confines, ii is useless to talk about
building expensive roads. 1t may be
added that the assertion that the
county is too poor to protect Its peo-
pie from the raids of criminals is
based upon the persistent refusal of
the Democratic county recorder TO
honor calls made upon him by the
commissioners, whose disbursements
he has control over, for payment of
officers detailed to capture law break
ers. The weeping brother has per-
sonal grudge with the commissioner
from Cherry Greek which robs his
criticisms of right to serious consid-
Grafton.

SUCCESSFUL FLOTATfONS INDl-
CATE RETURN OF BOOM TIMES
METAL MAINTAINED At
THE RECENT ADVANCE.

The return of boom days in the
copper mining field is indicated by
the successful fiotations OF copper
mining securities that have been and
are now being pulled off by various
local banking houses, says the
Boston Financial News.
Not until The public offering OF a
virgin proposition. the new North
Lake company's stock, did the street
awaken TO the fact that whole lot
of this flotation business has been
going on for some weeks.
Hayden, Stone & Co, started the
ball rolling by floating the under
writing of the Nevada Consolidated
convertible bonds. Later they took
big interest in the Utah Copper
company, and the Arizona Com
mercial company bond issues. Be-
sides this, they took a call on big
block of Goldfeld Consolidated stock
and have succeeded in placing IL
easily. Paine, Weber q C., in the
meantime furnished the East Butte
company with round sum of money
in order that development work
might be pushed and in addition they
have just underwritten the new
stock issue of the Superior & Boston.

THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN
GLIB OF NEW YORK.

The Rocky Mountain Club of New
York continues to grow II has a
membership of five hundred and re-
quarters II has leased the entire
west wing of the fifteenth floor of the
Waldorf Astoria where it has large
reception room in addition 10 a suite
of twelve smaller rooms. The club
rooms have decided western look,
Handsome heads given by members
and pictures of life in the west
decorate the walls.
The entertainment committee of
which Colvin b. Brown is the chair
man announce that the regular Sat
urday night smokers will be resum-
ed early in October and that upon
each of these occasions the club will
be addressed by a speaker familiar
with the various sections of the west
Stereoptican views and moving
pictures will be used to illustrate the
lectures. Much interest in the west
was created by this kind of entertain
ment given by the club last winter
and il is proposed to continue the
work of education and to amplify 1t
so as to cover all sections. After the
lecture a lighter form of entertain
ment is provided for members and
guests.
The club was formed for the pur-
pose of promoting good fellowship
among its members and for further
ing the interests OF the west in the
east and il is hoped that all western
commercial bodies will see to IL that
the club is supplied with all publi-
cations intended to call TO the at

empire west of the Mississippi.
Large bulletin boards and tables are
provided for the display of such
publications.

of the world. Nowhere is there an
other which having accomplished so
much still has so much more to do.
While the tremendous ore resources
we have developed and the great re-

The AxiaI Rotation of Venus,

FOR over two centuries it WAS gener'
ally accepted that, like the earth, the
planet Venus rotated on its axis In
little less than twenty-four hours, but
since Schiaparelli after long and care
full observation of the planet suggest
ed that the actual rotation period was
between six and nine months astron'
omers have devoted much attention to
this matter In the Observatory Mr.
Dennlng sums UP the available evil
dence on the point and can only con-
clude that this particular problem still
dsf1es solution. Life on Venus would
be very different from life on the earth
should the planets avail rotation be
as Schiaparelli asserted, identical With
the period Of its revolution round the
sun, as In that case the same hemi-
sphere would always be turned to the
sun and enjoy perpetual day. while the
opposite hemisphere would be doomed

Some Wives Are Different.

Most men," said the man Of expert

have a wife who takes things as cool.
" as Dave Potter's wife takes them,
but others, more discriminating, prefer
a good honest row to her style Of quiet
cynicism. The way she behaved the
other day when she found a letter In
Dawes pocket from girl in Brooklyn
Is IN example Of her method.
CT don't see,' wrote this GIRL how
