Pliers Win In q Walk

The Pikers opened their season at the
local base ball park last Sunday after
noon by trimming the speedy Simpson
Seed Company team of Denver in the
neat order of eight to one. The game
was well played throughout and the
quality of fielding and batting repre-
sented would be creditable to either
team at much later date. The first
few innings had the earmarks of a pit
cher's battle and not until the fifth in
ming could hit Of any consequence be
recorded. A rally was then started,
Mitchell opening it up with single and
followed by neat hits by Graham and
Morehouse. This netted a comfortable
lead and the rest was smooth sailing.
Several new tryouts were made and
some valuable material discovered.
Humphrey Darley, former player on
the strong Sacred Heart College nine,
was placed at shortstop and though
his regular position is in the outfeld,
he handled the drives with the accur-
racy and judgment of veteran Of the
diamond.
Another initial appearance in the Pi-
ker uniform was the acquisition from
the noted Carlisle Indians. His name
is Napoleon Barrel. He was allotted
the territory around third bag and COW
cred that corner of the infeld with re
markable agility. He showed great
ability as a ball tosser and will prove
tower of strength to the team in the
capacity of thirdbaseman. Mitchell
struck out thirteen men and Graham
secured four out the ten hits made by
his team.
In spite of the threatening rainstorm
a good crowd turned out to witness the
contest. Score by innings

Lets Build the Road,

The selection of an official state road
between Denver and Golden is a matter
Of special interest to this county
There are three roads between these
points that are now under considera-
ton, the north, middle and south roads,
The latter is what is known as
the West Colfax road and is the one
that 10 best adapted to the needs of
this county. The legislature made an
appropriation of $1,000 for the pur-
pose of constructing such a road and
Jefferson will add like amount there
to. Residents along the line of each
of these highways have raised good
sized purse on condition that the
official road is selected along their re-
spe 'titive places. On behalf Of the
county commissioners, of Clear Creek,
county attorney E. M. Sabin appeared
before the board that is to decide the
matter and presented a resolution
passed by our county board pledging
$4,000 for two years on condition that
the West Colfax road is selected and
thus allow Clear Creek county to ex-
tend it from Mt. Vernon road branches
off, to come up in this direction. The
deciding board consists of Governor
Shafroth, Mayor Speer and the
county commissioners of Jefferson
county. Each of the commissioners
lives on one of the roads SO that it will
be up to the Governor and Mayor
to cast the deciding votes. The Sc
lection of the West Colfax route gives
. direct outlet from Denver to the
Western country while the other two
are local. By reducing the grade of
Floyd Hill this public highway will
become . favorite drive for automo-
bilists a. it will be the shortest noun
tain scenery route running out of Den
vsr. 1t will attract numerous resi-
dents of that city to our own city and
no doubt it will become an annex to
the list Of Seeing Denver and the
Mountains" excursions. While the
state is taking an interest in appro-
priating funds for q public highway,
its yes can readily afford
( to select the route that will be Of
greatest good to the largest number
and by selecting the West Colfax
road this will be done while the in
terests of Golden will in no wise be
impaired. It is expected that = de-
cision will be reached to-day.

Comes Home for Health.

After spending considerable time and
money at Excelsior Springs, Mo. in
hopes of being restored to robust health
President w. L. Bush of the First
National bank, decided to try the
home mineral springs and already their
beneficial effects are beginning to be
realized. A person going up and down
Soda Boulevarde cannot help noticing
many of our citizens going after
drink. For years they have had these
springs at hand yet their virtues have
only recently been taken into ac-
count by them. Some things are so
ordinary and commonplace that we
pass them unnoticed or regard them
as of little moment. 1t is thus with
so many of our citizens in reference to
these warm springs. That the wat ers
are superior for stomach, kidney and
rheumatic troubles cannot be denied in
the face of so many tourists who have
been here and gone away happy. 1t
only requires continuous and judicious
use to prove this statement.
A party of some fifteen persons
interested in the General Consolidated
Mines company will arrive in the city
the next week to look over their inves
ment with view of increasing the same
and having others become interested.
This company has first class holdings
and with the safe, judicious and econ
omical management which will be CIV
en- it, those investing will have no
cause to regret their investment.
