commercial club work really worth
while? Is it a helpful way in which
a0 spend your energies? The answer
b this question is an emphatic YES.

Held than the study of how to guide
Development in direction that shall
Die for the economic, political (Non

The fact tina; in the district there is
a total acreage of 13,143.652 acres, and

The thought just occurs that the
Marble Business Mems association
might do well to take up this matter
and see If something could not be ac-
complished. Let this association do
something OF real benefit to the mer-
chants and the town. The more fam
lilies come in the more money goes in
to trade channels and any business
man surely knows that. Questions
like this are the proper business OF
just such an organization as the Busi-

up without delay.
Now, gentlemen of the association,
this matter really is important and
urgent. Let's see what can be done
about it.

A ROW OVER BANDSTAND

The location OF the band stand is
still niucn dlscussed question. The
action Of the JOINT committee in voting
to locate 1t in the park created IA flood
OF protests from uptown business in
terests and strong efforts are being
made to induce u Reconsideration by
the committee. The argument is made
lhxt The park location is isolated and
damp of summer evenings, while iE
some location nearer the business cen
ter the concerts would be attended
more largely and be more beneficial,
besides, to the business men.
Meaniima The band is going ahead
wnh plans to secure Il set OF up-to-date
uniforms In time TO wear them at the
big celebration Marble is to give on
the 4th OF July. The first organized
effort in this direction is to be a dance
in Marble hall the night OF April 10,
one week from tonight. Tickets to
this dance will cost Sl.50 and will in
clude fine lunch. AT first it was the
intention to charge 81 d ticket and
serve hot supper, but the band chang
ed this plan last Monday night. In
vitations to attend the dance were
mailed this week to all the citizens OF
Marble who are interested in the band
and would like to see it progress.

AT THE BIG MILL.

j. M. Conroy OF Pittsburg, Pa, a
glass manufacturer, was here fro m
Wednesday until Friday this week on
trip OF inspection over the mill and
quarry of the c.. YIN. Co. He was
astounded at the magnitude of the
plant.
This great undertaking proves to
me that master minds planned it or it
never would have been accomplished, F"
he remarked to a Booster reporter.
''The power facilities, the machinery,
and, in fact, everything used in taking
out and working the marble is the
very finest l ever saw, and | consider

marble is, fully believe, the finest in
the world. Italian marble, l do not

WITNESSES IN VAIL CASE

Pat Hanl0n, sheriff of Gunni is o n
county, with Undersheritf Lehan. was
here the first of this week with subpoe-
mas for several Marble citizens who
are wanted to testify in the trial of the
two men who assaulted G. d. Vail
here last fall. /. M. Kobey, P. Lip
son and DR.. Haxby were served with
the subpoenas. There were several
other witnesses the sheriff wanted but
they could not be found, having re-
moved from Marble. The trial is set
on the docket to begin at Gunnison
April 10. Mr.. Vail is former en-
gineer of the Treasury Mountain Rail
way company. Men who held II grew
ance against him attacked HIN on

afterwards that he could not recover.

TOWN ELECTION.

It's "Hizzonner' now for Paul J.
Tisehhanser. BY vote of W to none
against him. MIR. Tischhauser was
chosen mayor of Marble last Tuesday
in the city election.
w. d. Parry, j. F. Parrish and
John A. Williams were elected trustees
for three years each with 80 votes a.
piece. DR.. Haxby was elected trustee
for one year with SO votes.
Only one ticket was in the field-thal
OF the Peoples party. This ticket was
composed entirely of business men of
Marble and the voters were well salts
fled with it. Not single name was
written in ON any ballot cast. In all,
81 voters went to the polls but five bal
lots were cast out as defective. In
these the voters tried to vote straight
party ticket but overlooked the fact
that there was neither a Democrtic nor
Republican ticket ON the ballot.
There really was more interest in the
election than many supposed there
would be. Carriages were out to take
the voters to the polls and workers for
the ticket were not taking any chances
of a 'dark horse" showing up at an
unexpected moment. Absolutely no
opposition developed, however.
A fair percentage of women exercis
ed their right of franchise. Thirty five
feminine votes were counted.
The Judges of the election were G.. p.
Randle, A. S. Thomson and Maurice
Kobey. The clerks were William
Brown and William Crosby.

A JUDGE oEANE LETTER

The Booster is in receipt OF some
what heated letter from Judge }. w.
Beane in which the Judge relieves his
mind of the burden it has been carry
ing recently with res pect to underhand-
ed attacks and Will tication made ON
him personally and on the Lead King
mine Of which he is the head. The
Booster is not fighting Judge Deaue's
battles fAr him, but spirit of common
tairneys would seem TO be lacking in
aome Of the persons who have busted
themselves with his affairs, and this
paper deplores that Rttitude because it
appears q be entirely uncalled for.

HAD A BIG SCARE.

A certain Italian family here, whose
names need not be mentioned, had a
very bad scare last Monday night.
The information came to the family
that two men-Itali ans, aIso-ha ad
made threats to blow up the family
home with dynamite, on account of a
grudge. Now, this sort of way of set
tling grudge may be all right in sun
ny Italy, but it don't go for a cent in
the United States of America, so when
Marshal Mahoney was notified by the
alarmed head of the family, he made
cautious approach to the house and
discovered the two men lettering under
Il tree. They were promptly ordered to
throw up their hands. it being the
marshal's intention to see what kind
persons.
One of the men calmly submitted to
the searching process, bu6 the other,
seiziug favorable opportunity, took
to his heels. 1t was an hour afterward
before the marshal found him. BY
that time, of course, he had had ample
opportunity to dispose of any unlaw-
full articles he might have carried when
first apprehended.
When it came to proving a charge
of attempted dynamiting against the
men, the evidence available was insult
ficient, so one was fined SIS for loiter-
ing and the other paid 81 for resisting
an officer.
The Italian home is still intact.

Actual work was started this week
at the Black Queen silver mine when
Supt. Tischhauser sent some men up
to fix the dam so the high water can
not take it away. Work on the pioe
line and water power is to begin at an
early date, too, and within few
weeks the miners will begin taking out
ore From what The Booster can
learn of the operating plans of the
Black Queen owners. this mine is des-
tined to be an exceedingly busy place
this summer, which will add to the
prosperity of Marble.
Last Sunday was like summer day
and scores of Marble people got out
for walks about the country. The ed
itor took walk up the trolley line
and noted Indications of Spring on
green plants peeped out, wild violet
plants were lifting their leaves to the
sun and wild strawberry leaves showed
life and vigor. The willows were bud
ding aud the river was ''roily"--a
sure Indication of melting snow higher

felt glad to be alive.
Those who attended church services
last Sunday night heard very able
address by the pastor, Rev. Walton,
on the subject, 'The Man Who Won't

forceful language what very neces-

contribute his share toward the up
lifting and upbuilding of the country
we live in. Incidentally, he took oc-
casion to explode some OF the fallaci-
