Noticing in your paper that on

ert Burns will be celebrated b, the

moves me to mention the fact that ]

states visiting my brother, aud in
that long ago, club members we're
not so numerous as now, but by
those present ! was welcomed in
such hearty, honest, honey man
ner ! at once felt myself zone Of the
family" and was proud TO inform
them that ] was Scotch OF my
mothers side. But as | cannot
hope that the editor will give me
space, if any part OF this escapes the
waste basket, to write OF the many
excellent and varied features Cf the
entertainment in which there was
not one dull moment; | will but
mention the singing OF ne old
Scotch songs, in the Scotch dialect,
rendered with a sweetness # ex-
preston that was truly inimitable.
II was evident that the singers were
not moved by any desire to show off
or applause. They were but giving
heartfelt expression to the poetry of
their own beloved Country Boy
There seemed to be no concerted
program, but at any time that occa-
sion offered, perhaps between
speeches, serious or witty, between
instrumental music, not flrgetting
the bagpipe, or even between dances,
someone, generally a lady, would
start Scotch song, sometimes car
rying it through in sole but more
often joined here and there by an
other voice till all were united in a
full chorus Of such melody and har-
mony as | never before heard and
never again expect to hear this side
Of Heaven, Fifty years snce then
have passed and though ] am now

enthusiasm Of Aud Lang Syne that
tie CAisdoaians still celebrate with

There are sixteen counties in hat

Slope, although some might object
that Summit really belonged east Of
the range Also the Rio Grande
valley counties are not included, in
spite of the fact that our interests
are largely identical
We often hear that Denver carried
this last election for Bryan and
Shafroth. Denver gave BRYAN 1927
majority and Shairoth, 1856. These
sixteen Western Slope counties gave
BRYAN, 5.lO3 majority and Shafroth,
5,52S. Every one went democratic
except Mesa and Grand. Gun naison
gave among largest democratic ma
jorties. 1t looks os thou gh this
legislature and Governor Shafroth
ought to recognize our claims for
starting the State Normal School
established here in 1901, and that
in the matter of other state institu-
tons and appointments our section
of Colorado should be recognized.

lative committee In the discussion
which followed the reading of the
resolutions 1T was discovered that
all wings Of the association favored
the resolutions and when it was put
to vote the resolutions was unani-
mously adopted. There was some
strained feeling because The Delta,
Snake river and another association
threatened to resign if Pinchot was
attacked In order not to split the
organization any more, the real
