Democracy's chances OF a sweeping
victory nationally were never more

the party has it gone into a cam
paign with stronger encouragement
to wrest the nation from Republican
control. Already the party has COM
menced preliminaries and is lining up
it's forces for the battle year
hence. The Democratic party is unit
ed and harmony prevails throughout
it's ranks. OF the three" men most
prominently mentioned for president
Harmon, Wilson and Clark-the
nomination of any one of the three
would meet with hearty approval and
with either Harmon, Wilson or Clark
as the standard bearer Democracy

A movement is on foot among the
citizens and taxpayers of Idaho
Springs to move the county seat
from Georgetown to that city. The
people of Idaho Springs have been
agitating the change for some time
and it now begins to look as if they
will put something over on the peo
Pile of the upper end of the county.
The change will not be made with
out opposition from the residents of
Georgetown and vicinity. 1t is pro-
posed to organize league of the
citizens of Georgetown and Silver
Plume to fight the efforts of Idaho
Springs. The people of Idaho Springs
have secured control of a block of
ground upon which is to be erected
fine court house in case the seat
OF county government is changed.
The proposition will be submitted to
vote of the people at the Novem-
Der 1912 election.

The feeling that mining is quiet in
Gilpin county is all imaginary. There
is more activity in the camp just
now than there has been for several
years past. To confirm this state.
ment one has only to compare the
records Of ore shipments. which is
the only actual barometer Of mining
conditions. The books at the Black

TO CONSERVE THE MOISTURE

BY practiclng this method the farm.

In fact the larger part OF the seed

of rain and largely prevents the loss
of the water by surface drainage. A

Value Of Grass.

Grass is a soil protector. soil re-
newer and a soil builder. Covering
the land with grass is natures way of
restoring fertility to old. worn-out soil.
True grasses do not add nitrogen to
the soil. as do clover and alfalfa, yet
they are nitrogen gatherers. They
collect the nitrogen OF the soil and
store It up In their roots. and by the
decay of these roots humus is formed.
Thus grasses prevent the waste of nj
trogen and other plant food elements.
protect the soil and maintain its fer
tility and tilth. BY their extensive
and penetrating root systems many
grasses tend to break up and to deep
en- the soil, thus improving its texture
and increasing its moisture-holding ca
pacity. The roots gather the mineral
plant food in the deeper subsoil and
store 1t. in part, in the great fibrous
root growth nearer the surface This
causes an increase in the supply Of
available plant food In the soil for the
use Of more shallow roofing crops.
