The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1909-05-15

The action of the city "dads' or
dering the removal of the electric
light in front of the post office is GER
tainly untimely Every family is a
patron of the post office and send
their children there oftentimes to get
the mail. In the long fall and winter
evenings it is dark long before the
train arrives and surely it is
an accommodation to the patrons to
have the light there while even in
this season many people mail letters
in the outside box of dark nights.
1t occurs to this paper that there is
no light in the city that accommo-
dates so many people and in such a
general manner as this one. So far
as the postal authorities are concerned
it makes little difference whether it is
there or not as it is not much of an ac-
commodation to them but with the
people who do business, men, women,
and children it makes vast difference
whether they have outside light or
whether they must grope in the dark.
This light favors no particular lndl-
vidual, family, business firm or faction
but is a favor alike to all, rich and poor
laborer and capitalist, man and
woman, boy and girl and should stay
lust where it is. 1t is a small item
to comment upon but as it was suffi-
GENTLY large to engross the attention
of the city council, it should be large
enough for public comment.

Chairman A. r, Comstock of the
committee on Mines and Mining of
the Commercial Association called his
committee together on Tuesday eve
ming This committee consists of the
chairman, Messrs. V. |. NoXon, John
T. MaIlalieu, James Underhill and
w. 3. Kelso. Among the important
business transacted was that of max
ing provision for first class permanent
mineral exhibit and for this purpose the
north room of the Carnegie library has
been secured as the home for such an
exhibit. The association voted two
hundred dollars with which to pur
chasing substantial cases in which to
place the ores. etc 1t is also the in
tention of the committee to arrange
filing cases in which will be kept up
in the most reliable manner and will be
kept the tabulated statements and
other matters of information pertain
ing to the mines of this section. 1t
will be kept up in the most reliable
manner and will be a source of greatest
benefit for the camp, prospective in
vestors and inquirers. Such a bureau
of mineral information will be of in
cacuable value. The bills for the
Sc centennial amounted to only S355 20
The work accomplished by the
committee on arrangements and re-
ception during the previous months
together with all the expenses atten-
dent on the celebration makes this
amount wonderfully small. The ad-
vertising that it brought US will amount
in value to many fold this sum. Mr..
Comstock as Chairman of the Mines
and Mining committee is just the
right kind of timber to have as he is al
ways equal to duty and never above it.

Farmer E. M. Moscript has returned
from his Kansas ranch where he has
been watching the alfalfa, wheat etc. ),
grow with wonderful rapdity. He
reports that the wheat is in excellent
condition, contrary to the statement
emenating from Patton the ''wheat
cornerer' man, and what Ed says
goes in this section, and his opinion is
backed by Secretary of Agriculture,
''Tama Jim" Wilson, At the time he
left, nice rain would be beneficial to
the alfalfa and oats but nothing
was suffering. 1t will not be long be-
fore he will have the finest, best APP
pointed and most modernly equipped
ranches in the west and nothing short
of the best will suit him.

GOOD JOKE ON.
HENDERSQNWLLE LAWYR

Not long ago one of Hender-
sonville's prominent citizens was
in Washington city on a business
trip and stopped in. one day at
the office of a. well known law
firm. Finding one Of the gentle
men of the firm in, he began re-
lating his business to him. A
young looking lady was sitting
nearby and when. the converse
ton reached any legal terms she
would invariably make some Sug-
gestion. The Hendersonville man
thinking it kind of strange, said
to himself, IF that was my
stenographer would fire her Tor
talking so much"
After leaving the office he
struck up with a friend on his
way to the hotel, and related the
incident to him. The FRIEND
seeing the blunder at once, IN
laughing way said, do you
know who that lady was??" NO
replied the North CarollnlaH
well, it was the junior menOS5
of the law firm, and she is a goOJ
one, too. The HendersonYllnSI
was dumbfounded, and at on'
proceeded to set matters stralgD
by going and apologizing to w
young lady for his disregard
her worthy suggestion. On
am not surprised, that has nay
pened before. Are there
young lady lawyers in your c09p ~
try?" replied the young !au!
No, not in I[endersonvilLe' %

Wreck on IOxaWay Line.

While running at a very slow
speed last Saturday afternoon
train No. z enroute to this city
from Toxaway, jumped the track
on a curve just ten miles from
Hendersonville. The two rear
coaches were overturned, caus-
sing a general shake up
of all the passengers resulting in
some ten or more receiving Sc
we're wounds, the injuries being
caused by broken glass flying
about more than anything else.
1T was a peculiar wreck"
said one Of the lucky passengers
while passing through the city
yesterday. I'VE turned over so
slow and easy that most every
body on the train realized what
was going to happen in the next
few seconds and had time to
grab hold of something secure
before taking the leap.
No cause has as yet been
placed as the real reason of the
accident, but it is generally
thought that the spreading of
rails had something materially to
do with the affair.
There happened to be no Hen
Jacksonville people on the train at
the time. Quite a number
journeyed out yesterday after
noon to view the remains of the
wreck.
|. Capt. T. S. Boswell, superin-
tendent of this division Of the
Southern Railroad was in the city
yesterday passing through from
the scene of the wreck. He had
been up to inspect as to the
cause of the accident.
The passenger who was the
most badly injured last Saturday
afternoon is reported to be get.
ting on nicely and will recover.
