ivemen who know the value of print
ers inks.

that Routt County is producer.

saw MILL BURNS
Nelson Bros. Mill Near Hub
bard Park Burned Friday,
Loss Estimated $1,000

The burning OF Nelson Bros. saw
mill last Thursday night was a great
loss to the owners and also to this
section OF the country. They had
just gotten the mill on a basis to be
of value to them in a financial way
and its loss at this time OF year when
they had considerable stock on
hands causes quite loss. Their
many friends in the valley regret
very much to hear of their misfo--
tune. These SentleInen have by dint
of industry aud fair dealing built up
a splendid business and have the good
wishes and confidence of the vicinity
at large. We hope that they will
continue to hold their present posi-
tion among the relfa BILE business
men and interests in our town
We print below u statement by Mr..
Clarence Nelson for the benefit of all
who may wish to know the facts
rather than the rumors which are
being passed around;
In order that our friends may
know the exact conditions regarding
the fire at our mill. exaggerated re-
ports Of which are going the usual
rounds. we wish to say that the
fire while disastrous and entailiny
a loss of about So 900 az near a- we
can tell at this time. IL will not dis
able us for the handling of the fruit
crop. as Immediately upon the re-
ceipt of news that the mill had
burned we wired an order aud now
as.a. continuation of sfEas. from the
mill for all boxes needed TO handle
this seasons crop. After careful ex-
animation of the machinery by a
mechanic, he reports all machines in
good condition for retitting and all
except two machines can be used
with slight expense for repairs.
There were between two and three
cars OF shook burned and this to-
gether with the buildings and dam
age to machinery constitutes all the
loss so that any reports. to the effect
that there was sufficient amount
of loss to impair our financial credit
by parties interested In injuring our
fruit business Is without basis OF
foundation and while the lose is TO
be regretted We alone stand for all
of IL and expect to put the mill in
operation again before another sea-
son but on Il different operating
basis.
Thanking our many friends who
have expressed sympathy and regret
at our loss and assuring all that we
are in shape to handle any and all
business that may come TO us in a
manner that will be satisfactory to
all concerned. We remain yours truly,

Sunday School Rally
Last Sunday a Success

The Sunday schools OF Paonia held
IA rally In the Park last sunday af.
ternoon which was one OF the most
successful so far a- the attendance
and general interest Is sconcerned ever
held at this place. At the appointed
time the schools met at their respec-
tive places and formed I'm procession,
then all congregatiug on End 81. and
led by the Paonia band marched to
the park. The parade was a splendid
sight as hundreds Of both young and
old OF all the churches marched to
the pavilion In the park. Not less
than one thousand must have Assem-.
bled ON the occasion. Rev. Stout was
chairman and addresses were made
by number of Sunday school work.
ers. Excellent music was also an I'm
portant part of the program. 1t ap-
pears To us that an occasion of this
kind II about as good a way as those
interested In the work of building up
and improving the moral and intel
lectual conditions OF any community
can hit upon. Much has been said
about the different ways In which
people spend their Sundays. objec-
tions being raised at the various
amusements and pastimes. yet these
same people do not make any effort
other than scold and argue to change
the conditions to which they object.
Now It seems to me that the sue
cess OF this rally ought to be an OBJ
iect lesson, teaching US that II we OBJ
ject to certain things and practices
we should exert ourselves to furnish
something better. doubt very
much II anyone attending this rally
will claim that they have had more
real pleasure froman afternoon spent
in any other way for n long time.

Foxtail Again

For some time we have been print
Ing articles concerning the extermin.
alton of foxtail but at the present
time there seems to have been no
great effort made at determination.
Anyone driving through the country
can readily see the great need Of
some one agitating a move OF this
kind. 1t is certainlyly true that
every rancher must see that unless
something is done soon the entire
country will be filed with this nox-
ious grass.
There seems to be no good purpose
II serves. Possibly II all were to en-
gage in the burro business we might
succeed In either exterminating the
one or the other or perhaps both.
But certainly a rancher must have
"A grudge at himself or his ranch to
let the foxtail overrun his place as
some are doing. II had a grudge
at the ID | would know OF no
better way to get even with him
than to sell him a foxtail ranch.
| would suggest that the CONNER
cial association take up the matter
along with the destruction OF other
weeds and try to inaugurate move
ment to clean up the valley as far as
weeds are concerned. Ii is only ne
cessary for one to note the difference
in appearance OF two ranches, one
being kept clean and well cultivated
and the other neglected. to see the
changed appearance our valley
would present II all would adopt the
clean up habit.
Ii IL not that our ranch-rs are
shiftless that present conditions ex-
list. but because they do not s.e the
value ia keeping every nook and
corner clean.
Strangers icokiny over the country
quite often make remarks about the
bad appearance OF these neglected
places and particularly the growth
of foxtail. cockleburr. sunfiowers.
and other weed pests

OUR iowa DAY
A Large Crowd was IN Attend
ance, and a Good time was
Had by All

A great crowd In Paonia Thursday
the occasion O! the ninth annual To-
wa Day meet. The event was sue
cess from start to finish. The special
from Delta brought n fine delegation
from the different points along the
line.
We hear nothing but words OF en-
tire satisfaction and praise OF the
splendid address OF Rev. Jacobs of
Sidney Iowa. The committees in
their bill assured the people that
they had secured u speaker OF high
class for the day and no one was
disappointed, Rev. Jacobs is schol-
ary gentleman with "A message worth
b .aring.
The ball game In the forenoon was
well attended. The players gave the
people IA good show. The score at
the close stood IA To ii In favor oil
the Paonia Business mems team.
our catcher MIR. French collided with
one OF the Delta men who was trying
to reach the home plate and both
were laid out for n while but both
men were game and In n few minutes
took their place and finished the
game. We consider that Delta IL en-
titled TO good crowd at the fair
when our team Will play the Delta
team again.
The afternoon game between the
Hotchkiss aud Pnonia business men
was the great feature OF the day In
the way of sports. This game was
witnessed by very large crowd.
Much interest conferred In the game
ss IL was the third Of the series being
played by these teams, Paonia
having won the other two. The
home team was not In the best OF
shape for the game but went In to
do their best and did so although
Hotchkis- won this game by a
score OF l6 to $.
The best Of feeling prevailed al
through the game and all seemed
satisfied with the result Now Tor
the closing game at Hotchkiss on
September the sth at the fair.
We must have this game so look
out for something good.
The street sports were Interesting
but owing to the fact OF lack OF time
to get all the winners names we
omit the results for our next issue.
Great Interest was manifest In the
fruit display in the windows of the
business houses which was certainly
fine and proves that Paonia Is on
the man in the production OF fruit.

Campaign Publicity

Scandals in connection with United
States senators and reports OF the
immense sums of money used to Sc
cure the election OF men to office have
had their effect on even the United
States and the result Is the passage
OF the campaign publicity bill with
even more radical provisions than
were put into the bill when it came
up in the house. Besides requiring
the publication of lists of campaign
contributors, the senator's have
made IL impossible for any candidate
to spend more than $4,000, a pro-
vision which it is believed will pre-
vent the monopolization of office by
men with an abundance of money.
The fact that Senator Stephenson OF
Wisconsin. according to his own
sworn returns, expended more than
Sl00. 900 to he elected had much TO
do with the determination of the
senate to curb the practice OF spend
ing immense sums of money, much
of which seems to have become gen
eral since the primary system adop-
ton in many states and since the
trusts deemed II necessary to secure
representatives in congress, no mat
ter what the cost.
The publicity bill. az amended by
the senate. will prove to he the great
est purifier OF political conditions
vet devised by law. While IL is radi-
cal in its nature and might not have
been adopted had the senate not
jections To some of the provisions.
still II is one which the public will be
thoroughly in sympathy with. The
Democrats of the house may not
like some of the sections ia tine bill.
but IL wouid b. folly 90 their. part
not to agree with the senate. The
Democrats forced the publicity mea-
sure to the front and put IL squarely
up to the senate. but the senators
have gone the lower house one better
and given a bill which ought 10 ef-
fectively curb the corrupt practices
at which IL is aimed. Democratic
control of the house has been along
the right lines and it IL not likely
that they Will make the mistake of
objecting to any of the provisions of
the bill az amended by the senate.
Campaign publicity has been an Is
sue in several national campaigns
and a makeshift measure was adop-
ted 10y the Republicans. but it did
not extend far enough. and the prac.
tice complained of continued to flour
ish Strict enforcement OF the new
law viii remove from politics it's
greatest evil. Rich men Will not be
able to defeat the will OF the people
by corrupting enough electors to
swing the vote for themselves or
their faVOrites. The senate has taken
a step which il was not expected
that body would think of doing. and
a comforting fact about the vote is
that Senator Stephenson happened
to be present when the vote was
taken. 1t being his first appearance
for some time The vote must have
impressed him as a rebuke for the
lavishness with which he peddled
money among the Wisconsin elector-
