Council Gets Active

Gu Sunday morning committee OF
the city council, consisting OF Sam
McGinnis, L. E. Cassatt and F. A.
Miller, accompanied by l. D. Ellis,
Chairman of the county board of COM
missioners, drove out to the south END
of Simpson Boulevard, to look over
the grounds with the view Of opening
up the road to make driving connection
with the Soda creek road. This short
piece of road has been closed up dur
ing the past five years much to the in
convenience Of residents who have
homes along this pretty drive. 1t has
also proven a disappointment to the
residents and visitors who drive along
the Boulevard with the expectation of
turning down into Soda Avenue and
find that when they get as far as Bean
vile, they are obliged to turn and drive
back. For short drive, the circle be-
ginning at the intersection Of the
reservoir road and Soda avenue wind
ing over the hill pass the reservoir at
which point most delightful and at
tractive view Of the city and the con-
tinental divide with its snow capped
peaks in summer can be obtained fur
nishes one with pleasure. During the
short time the road was opened in its
entirety, numerous rigs were seen
vending their way along its course dur
ing evenings and on Sundays. The
city council will confer favor
all around by re-opening this road or
avenue and its committee will make
such a recommendation.
The Commercial Association through
its proper committee has placed an ap
propriate monument on the spot where
George A. Jackson was the first man
to discover gold in paying quantities in
Colorado. 1t consists of concrete
foundation on which is placed huge
boulder taken from the ground on
which this discovery was made and on
which will be tablet containing a
suitable inscription. The ground that
has been decided to the city should
now be properly graded and walled up
along Chicago creek and then kept in
very attractive and presentable condi-
ton. BY building such a wall and
sloping the ground from the monument
to the road these conditions would be
met. The cost would be trifle and
the city council could do nothing
less than make provisions for
this improvement. No one with any
spark of love for the city could possl-
bly, take exceptions to such actions on
on the part of "our dads" There is
no spot that will be visited by
tourists and travellers more than this
and it should be kept in such shape as
to create pleasure and not meet with
criticism, through neglect to make the
spot attractive.

His numerous friends in this section
will be pleased to learn of the prosperi-
ty that attended the efforts of E. S.
Giles who is now located in the May
flower Pioneer district in Nevada.
In his opinion the public is rather
slow to appreciate the great future
of this Nevada section. Mr.. Giles
states that the find made by Bert
Smith on the Starlight No. 4, of the
Mayflower estate is one of the richest
surface disclosures he has ever seen
The ore at grass roots runs from 3 to 4
ounces in gold and the extent of the
ore body up to the time of his departure
was unknown. However, Mr.. Giles
says it is so big they do not know what
they have got. Mr.. Giles was among
the first to get into the Pioneer section
and his interests are among the largest
in the district. He has followed new
camps throughout the west for many
years, but says that Pioneer is the
last camp that he will make a rush to
as his interests should put him out of
the prospectors class.

bath Tub" Business

What is now known as the bath
tub damage suit is occupying the at
tention of the district court in Golden
this week and several of our citizens
have been subpoenaed as witnesses.
This is case wherein Mrs. Sarah A.
Stock is seeking to recover damages
for an injury she claims was received
while bathing in one of the old tubs
and is brought against the old Big
Five Mining company, the owners of
the property. The date of injury was
in 1908. The case was tried about
three years ago for the first time
which resulted in the jury failing
to agree on any findings. Later on
another trial was held and the jury
awarded her damages to the amount
Of $40, 600. The company has secured
a new trial which is now in progress
and will consume the entire week or
longer. In connection with this damage
suit, Mrs. Stock also brought suit for
defamation of character which was
tried in Denver last year with the re-
suit that she was awarded damages
to the amount of $4,000. This last suit
was for having her character called in
question by the attorneys of the Big
Five company during the progress OF

PENDLETON MAN
STRIKES CAS-
WALTER HODDER HAS
EXPERIENCE IN MALHEUR
While Drilling at Debth of Nearly
400 Feet he Encounters Strong
Flow of Gas-Water and Rock
Hurled to Considerable Height In
to the Air-Flow Stops Suddenly.

Walter Holder, formerly of this
city, has struck gas on a ranch in
Harvey county. The following story
of the discovery is from the Harvey
County News:
Last Thursday while Mr.. Holder
was drilling for Mr.. Leake about sew
en- or eight miles southeast of Sunset
Valley and at the depth of $50 feet
he thought he must have struck gas
for at p, m, as he was pulling out
the drill-rods for the night, he notic-
ed that the water had left the well,
after he had taken cut 100 feet of
drill-rods; then he heard a rumbing
noise and the water came back and
shot out of the overflow pipe with
such force that he thought he had
struck an artesian flow; and after
lifting out another 100 feet of drill
rod there came another explosion
which lifted him from the ground alb
out two feet with the 160 feet of drill
rod, and a young man by the name of
Smith had to help Mr.. Holder get
the drill-rod down. Then it subsided
some, so they got the drill rods out
but it was still throwing a steady
stream of gas.
After while he went up to the
pipe to pick up his tools and found
the pipe hot and the we'll throwing
a stream of sand and stones, some of
the stones as big as hens eggs and
some as big around as could come ou
Of the Pinch pipe and four or five
inches long, and very strong smell
Of gas, continuing until s p. m. At
times a large stream of mud would |
shoot up six or seven feet and then |
explode, until it made quite lake |
II mud and water. The stones would |
90 up as high as 60 or 10 feet. About |
p, m, there came a gurgling noise

Holder thinks rock got blown into
he bottom of the pipe and stopped it

The Inaugural Ball.

President and Mrs. Taft will make
their first official appearance at a
social function tonight, when they will
lead the grand march at the Inaugur-
al Ball. For months society of the
Capital, and, for that matter, of many
other cities, has been in a pleasurable
state of excitement over the inaugural
hop, and the amount of money that
will be represented in gowns and
jewels on the floor of the great Pen
sion Building when the Marine Band
assemblies the dancers would buy or
build a railroad.
1t is the only time in four years that
the plain American citizen and c!ti-
zeless has an opportunity to meet the
President and his wife on the floor of
a ballroom and with this dazzling
prospect in view, it is small wonder
that there are generally twice as many
tickets sold as there is room fol
ticket holders. The crush is conse-
quently often nothing short of brutal,
and those who attend generally leave |
breathing VOWS of "never again" |
to suffer the familiar woes of |
torn lace, trodden toes, and hand-to
hand conflicts at the supper table.
Decorations.
Washington was a white and green !
city todoay, and for the first time in
the history of inaugurations the Ma
.ional Flag was used only upon its
rightful staff, Heretofore the Sta.
and Stripes has been pressed into SER
vice as a decoration for all sorts of
purposes, from the Frightening of
emonade and sandwich stands to the
estooning of saloon fronts. This
'ear the inaugural committee agreed
With itself that whenever the flag was
lsed at all it was to be flying free to
he breeze from a mast or staff. 1t is
tated that. 1000 was spent on the
decorations of Pennsylvania Avenue
rom 10 to 18th, and most of 1t
vas devoted to beautifying the court ,

rounds.
