Democratic Editors Score
Welching Officers.

Western Slope opinion on the pro-
posed extra session of the state leg
islature as promised by Governor
Shafroth is developed into a series
OF letters received from Western
Slope editors by the Pueblo Star
Journal.
The Star-Journal recently reQues-
ted the editors of the state to ans
wer two queries. One was. DO you
favor the extra session." The other
was, Why"
In the state 15 Democratic papers
favored it and Z Republican papers.
Against it were 19 Democratic edi-
tors and 29 Republican. This amply
shows how utterly and bluntly false
rupt Democratic press of the state
that the only demand for the extra
session came from the Republican
newspapers" Western Slope Demo-
cratic opinion is apparently solid in
its condemnation of the last Demo-
cratic legislature. Such pronounced
editorial contempt for body sup
posedly acting in political harmony
with the Democratic editors is re-
markable. Only one Democratic pa

to offer any excuse for the legisla-

remarkable as being bald and alb

ming and other sections where there
is but small building demand for the
material manufactured. great ce-
ment factories are thickly located.
Over here where there is great
present and prospective demand for

have to ship our cement hundreds

The North Pole.

Things are not going entirely
smooth for Commodore Peary since
Investigators have begun to look
over his data 1t seems that Peary
and Cook were outlandishly in each
others way.
DR. Cook came back with what has
been gradually taken as a fake
story about discovering the pole.
Just as he was beginning to reap
iaurels for his lying. Peary dashes
back with announcement and an
assertion that he killed Cock Robin.
He was given a turn by the papers
and magazines. all of which began
to proclaim that each would pub
lish "Peary's own story of his dis
covery of the Pole"
Then Congressman Mason jumps
up and declares that Peary is prob
ably as great a liar as Cook; that
his story doesen't sound plausible;
that he pretends to have travelled
twice the distance each day after a
certain date than he had accom-
plished before. and which it was
possible that he or anybody else.
could travel in that latitude over
rough ice.
The whole thing is calculated to
dampen the enthusiasm of the world
regarding exploring eNpiditions.
Both Cook and Peary We're regarded
as scientific explorers OF note, trust
worthy and capable of conducting
scientific expeditions where hard
ships and suffering were to be ex-
pected and where the lives of the
explorers were frequently the stake
that had to be put up against the
glory of discovery. To have it even
suspected that their trips were
fake. is quite enough to cool of even
the most enthusiastic.

Good Road improvements.

Chairman George c. Wilson OF
the county board, is receiving num-
erous congratulations on the good
work being done on the roads.
The county road south has been
graded to the county line. and work
is now in progress grading the Cal
ifornia mesa road south to the
county line.
Two new concrete culverts have
been put in down the river. one at
Deter gulch. and one at the gulch
this side of Deter. In these there
are about 700 yards of concrete and
they stand without n crack. and are
probably good for all time. Another
concrete culvert is to be put in up
the river Mt the Mrs. Gale ranch.
