A GOOD CANDIDATE.

The Republicans of Denver have
done xtraordinary-one might al
most say. unexpectedly-well in Sc
lecting their candidate for mayor. Mr..
Phelps comes as near being an ideal
candidate as Is possible. Young, Wig
orous, able level-headed, with char
acter absolutely irreproachable, he
should get the vote OF every Republi-
can and Of many Democrats. He has
not been identified with factional
fights within the party. There are no
old grudges against him, and he has
none against anybody. He Is persona
grata to the Anti-Saloon league. In
fact, he should concentrate all the
forces in opposition to Mr.. Speer. and
win with an overwhelming victory.
The only danger now for the Repub-
licans is over-confidence. They natur-
ally feel, after getting this kind OF a
candidate, that 1t Is all over but the
shouting; but it will be we'll for them
to work Just as hard as II the fight
were altogether in doubt. Mr.. Speer
is a man of resource; he is running
as business mems candidate"
which will no doubt bring him some
votes that he could never get as
Democrat; his organization-what Is
left OF the big Mitt"-will work des-
perately and increasingly. The Repub-
licans cannot afford to take it easy.
though it must be acknowledged the
chances are all in their favor.

COULD EASILY MAKE GOOD
AUTO ROAD TO SILVER CLIFF

C. A. Biggs, who recently made an
automobile trip from Canon City to
Silver Cliff and return via the Copper
Gulch route is enthusiastic over the
possibilities held out to autoists Of
getting into the Wet Mountain valley
by that road The Oak Creek road is,
OF course, open to people from this
section who desire to visit Silver Cliff
and neighboring towns. but it is both
difficult and dangerous for automo-
biles, particularly in going up the
grade, and comparatively few care to
run the risks of such a journey by
means of the "horseless carriage"
The Copper gulch road, on the other
hand, is a surprisingly good one and
with a little work could be made u
great favorite with autoists. The
chief trouble with the road at present
is that it is too high in the center.
constant teaming having in some
places worn a pathway for the horses
that makes 1t difficult and uncomfort-
able for those who make the trip over
it in automobiles. Except for this
ridge, which at times Is positively
prohibitive, the Copper gulch road Is
a splendid one for automobiles and
when the trouble is removed, which
can be done with but little expense,
will be favorite with the owners Of
machines.
Mr.. Biggs suggested to the board
of county commissioners of Custer
county that something ought to be
done to remove the ridge and he was
assured that the matter would be
attended to without unnecessary de-
lay. The board Of commissioners Of
Custer county having promised to put
its end Of the road In good condition
the authorities here ought to do as
much, and when that is done a fine
driveway for automobiles will be
available from Canon City to Silver
Cliff.
There are fifty automobiles In Can
on City and probably thirty In Flor
ence, and a first class roadway from
here to the Wet Mountain valley
would cause the majority Of their own
ers to visit Silver Cliff and neighbor-
ing towns once or more during the
summer season. With its charming
mountain scenery and delightful eli
mate the Wet Mountain valley would.
become a popular resort for the peo-
pie of Fremont county during the sum-
mer months If a first class automobile
road existed between Canon City and
Silver Cliff. The cost of the improve
ment would be small In comparison
with the great benefit to be derived,
especially by the Custer county folk.

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO CITY
DISCUSSED MONDAY NIGHT

A combined meeting of the members
of the park commission and of the
Civic Improvement league was held at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. T. M.
Harding Monday night and various
matters of interest to the city dis
cussed.
There were two meetings in fact,
one of them presided over by D. E.
Gibson, chairman of the park commits
sion, and the other presided over by
]. F. Marr, head of the Civic Improves
ment league.
At the former was discussed the i'm
provement of the state park in front
of the penitentiary, which it is pro-
posed to convert into a grassy pleas
u7e ground during the coming sum-
mer.
Last year the Civic Improvement
league spent $3.50 in laying water pipe
through the state park, but was un-
able to establish a lawn for the rea-
son that a top dressing of earth was
needed, and that was not to be had
without an expense beyond the means
at its command.
During a visit of Mr.. and Mrs. Glib
son to Denver a week or SO ago they
obtained a promise from Vice Presi-
dent Schlacks of the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad company to give the
park commission seventy-five car
loads of dirt for surfacing the state
park, something like one-fourth Of
which has already been delivered. This
gift will enable the Civic Improvement
League to carry out its scheme of
improvement and in a few weeks 1t
is expected that the park will be seed
ed to blue grass and white clover.
Another matter considered by the
park commission was the improve
ment Of the depot park, between Riv-
er street and the Denver & Rio Grande
station.
A large portion of it was plowed up
for the purpose Of getting rid Of the
dandelions and the commission will
reseed 1t with grass and endeavor to
beautify 1t with lawn free from nox-
ious growths of all kinds.
One of the more important meas
ures considered by the Civic Improve
ment league was how to exterminate
the dandelion, which has been such a
nuisance in this community. A lot
of valuable data has been secured in
relation to the matter and it is be-
lieved that a solution for the problem
has been found. The league is not
ready to apply the remedy but ex-
poets to begin a crusade under expert
leadership before long to rid the city
OF the dandelion plague.
Arrangements have been made by
the league with Warden Cleghorn for
the use of twenty-five convicts on
the public streets during the spring
and summer months to keep the weeds
down along the irrigation bitches, and
for such other purposes as they may
be needed. Local physicians state
that the freedom of the city last year
from feyers of various kinds was due
In . measure at least to the clean
lineas of the streets. and alleys, es-
pecially from the growth Of weeds and
grasses. ~
