Forgot Primary Day


Let review-to proft-some recent local option
history April l. 1908 the great day on which we drove
1000 saloons from this was the greatest one-ay
victory IN the history of temperance reform reoiced
ana we had right tot was unprecedented victory But
we Iaed TO remember OF us too many of us-that
just four months later the Sth day August contest
quite as Important quite farreacing and Significant was
to be held That the date Of the legislative primary for
the selection OF representatives and senator's for Forty

voters who neglected refused do their duty
when those legislators up for nomination election
1t is estimated that not than onehalf the local option

Time of Peril
We are facing similar situation Shall we repeat
the experience? 1t is time of opportunity and a time of
peril 1t is time of opportunity because without question:
local option folks win in this next legislative
the most signal victory yet achieved in the history
local option in this state if they will but it. It is time
OF peril because the liquor interests have declared they will
repeal the law which has already been placed upon
statute books These the issues repeal of the present
law the hand, and the enactment of county option
on the other-and there is middle ground.
Organization
asked to explain how we may secure county option
for illinois, answer first by doing duty the 18th
day of September and the Sth day of November answer
that there must be organization Battles won by
disorganized mobs and this is battle There must be

Time Opportune
What time could be suspicious for cause than
this? They have made the civic temple house Of

there there will be awakening and the interests that

Council Proceedings.

A most interesting session of the
city council was held last Thursday
night, and STANCE to say, the entire
membership was present, even the
health officer.
The clerk called the roll and then the
fun began. 1t started by the presenta-
tion of petition from several citizens in
an effort to recall the subscription to
the 4th of July fund, but the question
fell of its own weight, the council de-
claring that it would stand by its org
inal subscription and the individual
in every way possible.
The street and alley committee was
instructed to place lights on Spion
Kope to accommodate those residents
of the suburb.
Improvements were ordered at the
cemetery which call for the extension
of the water lines into the new addition
and for the sinking of the pipes below
the frost limit.
The proper committee was instructed
to at once commence the construction
of sidewalk from point in front of
Alderman Burgers residence In Grass
Valley to a point just beyond the
school house grounds, the expense to
be charged to the adjacent property
owners.
The usual monthly bills wer audited
and allowed.

Memorial Day Observed.

There was no specially prepared ser
vice for Memorial day this year. Many
Of the veterans Of the Civil War attend
ed services at the Methodist church
where Rev. E. Burns Martin delivered
an eloquent address in which he showed
in logical manner the influences Of the
deeds done by the young men and 9th
ers of the country upon the subsequent
history of our nation by their services
from 1861 to 1865. On Monday Messrs.
A. II. Roller, w. E. Renshaw and Dr.
Morehouse, all three being sons OF vet
erans, put their automobiles at the dis
posalof the veterans to the number OF
twelve and also Ell. r Rohner, formerly of
the U. 8. navy. They were driven to
the west part of town and then back
and out to the cemetery where portion
of the memorial ritual of the G. A. r
was carried out concluding with "taps"
sounded by bugler Leach. Twenty
eight graves of deceased comrades were
decorated with flags aud wreaths of Ca
dar. After leaving the cemetery the
erans ride to Floyd Hill and back and
on their return they lined up in from of
the Saaton Mountain Electric company
where the Commander in few well
chosen heartfelt words thanked the
gentlemen for the courtesy and kindness
thus shown and after grateful hand
shaking with the three gentlemen the
comrades departed feeling that the tok-
ems OF respect for the dead and the deeds
OF kindness to the surviving were in
separately entwined. Forty-tive years
have elapsed since the close of the civil
war and the ravages Of death is rapidly
decimating the ranks Of those who fol-
lowed the flag during those trying days
and years. 1t will not be many years
until the duties carried out by these sur
vivors will fall to the lot Of the sons Of
veterans. The custom not only engen-
ders patriotic feelings, but it is beau
tiful one that should always be honored
in remembrance.

Silver Horn in New Hands.

Articles OF Incorp oration OF the Silver

the Secretary OF State last Thursday.
The company is incorporate ed for 81 .O0O.-

r. P. Adams of Denver and W. II. John
son of Rockford, ILL.,. constitute the di
rectorate. The property Of the company
consists Of seven patented claims iocat ted
up Ute creek namely: Silver Horn, Ar
gus, Little Cyrus, Mabel, Grant, Thirty
Second and Grand View. They have as
near neighbors such well known produc-
ing mines as the Charter Oak, which has
yielded ore worth slo0 per pound; the
Mary Foster, that milled ore running
over l.O)o oun ,es in silver and from 8 t.
10 ounces of gold per ton; the Humboldt,
that has shipped over s2Oo.OD worth of
ore and has very rich free milling gold;
the Kearsarge, producing ore ranging
from 5000 to 5000 ounces in silver; the
Muscovite. Bruce, Silver King, Eclipes'
Fraction, Kite Clyde, Little Matte and
many other good properties.
Within a radius OF a mile are the
Lamartine that has turned out several
millions and the Freeland with $1,000
600 to its credit, while in near by min
ing district arc the Red Elephants with
its e2.OoO,OO0; the Joe Reynolds 81, ,5oO,-
900 and the Stanley with its 81 100000.
Furthermore it is in the line OF the great
mineral belt, extending from the north

600 aud section that is yet in its min
eral infancy.
There has been large amount Of de-
velopment work done and in doing this
about 5000 dollars worth Of ore has been
taken. The assays and shipments have
been of an excellent nature. Assays
taken from II different places showed
general average VI pfO w poi toh "HAo
q shipments Of commercial ores taken
from the development work gave aver
age returns Of e57 90 per ton. The aver
age shipments OF ore from this district
during the past two years have been be-
tween e3l. and S32; hence the Silver
Horn shipments have been largely in ex-
cess Of this average. In securing this
group OF claim the company will have no
cause to apologize for it as it is destined
to become one of thu leading producers
Of this county. Tne company has
put men at work in cleaning up the
workings and in few days will have
force Of eight men. The machinery will
be overhauled and increased in capac-
ity. AS the lines of the United Hydro
Electric company run within quarter
of mile Of the property, it is possible
that this kind of power will be untilized
which no doubt would be the most per
manent. cheapest and convenient

campers or boys made fire and left
without putting it out.

kinds of mineral claims and all such
germane information. The work is

thing that contributes more than a
