Would Greatly Relieve Taxpayers

The Warren millionaire bill in the interest of good roads would
give a permanent revenue for this work that would greatly relieve the
taxpayers and constantly improve the general road conditions. 1t
would incidentally furnish a large number of stockmen IN opportunity

The Sun Squelches An Unfounded Rumor

1t seems like a screaming farce for convicts to 90 on 8 "strike,"
just like ordinary workingmen, but that is what actually took place
in the State Penitentiary at Rawlins last Tuesday. 1t is a singular
coincidence that the county democratic convention was in session
there that day, but the Sun has run down, and proved utterly without
foundation, the rumor that there was any connection, whatever,
between the two events

Commissioner Hopkins Deserving of Credit

The Rawlins Journal takes the Sun to task for u article O. the
French Greek Project a couple of weeks ago and says W ATTEMPTED to
give all the credit of bringing that project thru to Senator Warren
and none to Commissioner Hopkins. That was not the intention of
the article, for we believe in giving credit where credit belongs and
We gave Mr.. Hopkins credit in another article copied from the Leader.
But the Journal had jumped all over Senator Warren the week before
and said that the Wyoming delegation had been sleeping at their posts
or the trouble never would have happened. AS a matter of fact Sen
.ator Warren had been at work at the matter for more than six months
and deserved credit for having kept right after the matter until it was
settled. The journal was dead wrong about our delegation not doing
anything, but rs it generally is dead wrong. 1t makes but little differ.

GREAT WHITE
way FOR ERIE

Erie, Oct. ornamental lamp
posts are now installed in Erie At
several of the street crossings. and
the town begins to resemble the
great white way OF New York the
lights loom up SO brilliantly. Resi-
dents are delighted with the change
from the old style OF lamp post, and
with the added brilliancy OF the
lights. The few that have been put
in were ordered just for = trial, and
they have proved SO satisfactory
that more will be ordered by the
town board as fast as the town
finances will permit it. There is a
cluster of three lights on each post.
the top globe bearing a 100 watt
Tungsten lamp. and each Of the
other two bearing a 60 watt lamp
extended on arms. The posts are
made of steel pipe with ornamental
iron bracketing and are exceedingly
pleasing in appearance when the
lamps are lighted.

Mooney Gets Deer
But Loses Clothes

Although he brought home fine
buck deer from his hunting trip on
sunday Prof. w. b. Mooney OF the
teachers college lodged the main
streets and took to the alleys on his
way to his house from the train.
The reason OF Prof. Moneys en-
harrassment was not that he had q
guilty conscience for violating any
game laws, but that while In the
wilds OF the Rockies sixty miles
from Grand Junction the tent OF his
hunting party was robbed and when
they returned to camp from their
hunt Mr.. Mooney was minus his
travelling bag and clean clothing.
his money, transportation. and in
lact everything OF value.
Mr.. Mooney had the consolation
of bringing homo with him a 1855
pound deer, the largest said to have
oeen killed In that section for q
number of years. With MIR. Mooney
on his trip we're two men from the
western slope. They each also Sc
cured deer ON the trip.

STATE aa;!4IEl HIEt IS E;.,

Erie. Oct. THE State coal mine
has opened and already coal Is be-
ing hoisted and delivered to local
men. The demand thus far has been
light, and only small force has
been put to work. which will be In
creased "a needed to supply the de-
mand. Part OF the work Of last
week consisted In cleaning up the
workings and getting everything in
good running order.
Operations will be continued
through the small shaft which ID
being used for time and gradually
men will be added to the force and
other shafts opened. From 80 to 40
tons a day can be raised with the
small shaft and II IL thought this
will be sufficient to supply the de-
mand for = short time. although at
times there may be several wagons

Pton,aine Poisoning Follows Church
supper at Convention Being
Held In Denver

Twenty-Five women who were at
tending the Missionary convention
in Trinity church in Denver last
week, we're taken violently i'll with
ptomaine poisoning Friday evening
in the church.
Four physicians were hastily sum-
moned and all were relieved but i've.
who are still critically i'll. Among
the five is Mrs. George Wyrick OF
Eaton.
Many other ladies are said to have
been taken i'll during the evening
and called physicians where they
were staying.
The ladies were served with the
noon and evening meals at the
church and 1t Is thought that the
poisoning was caused by either
tainted corned beef which was serv-
ed at the noon or ice cream which
was served in the evening.
Mrs. Leroy Carpenter. Mrs. II. A.
Russell and Mrs. o. o. Russell OF
Greeley are in Denver attending the

his trousers caught in the machine
while he was oiling 1t during the

only by bracing himself and pulling

one assistant, German boy, who

EATON WIPES
COLLINS BOYS
OFF OF EARTH
Football Cleanup At Fort Collins BY
Weld Team Shows Eaton Has
Wonderful Team

Eaton. Oct. THE Eaton high
school football team completely out
classed the Fort Collins players Sat
urday morning in q game which re
suited In the score of 4S to il
favor of the strong Eaton team. The
Eaton players found but little diff
ficulty in plunging through the line
or goind around the end. as they
were both stronger and faster than
the Fort Collins team.
Even the score OF 4S to 0 1t is
said did not serve to show the great
difference that existed between the
two teams. When the game ended
the Fort Collins boys were exhaust
ed, while the Eaton players seemed
to be fresh as daisies. They had
the weight to carry them through
their plays and this was combined
with experience and speed. They
scored 20 points in the first half and
2S in the last half.
Captain Mimmack of the Eaton
team was the star individual player.
He made the most of the gains. did
great booting for his team, making
five touchdowns and kicked six out
OF seven goals.
Bailey. Brown and Meyers OF Fort
Collins were taken out of the game
on account of injuries, and when
Graves finished the game he had to
be carried to an automobile and
taken home, but was feeling all
right in the afternoon.
Those who saw the Eaton paaVAss
clean up Cheyenne = week ago aud
repeat the performance last Satur-
day with Fort Collins a. the cleaned.
say that they are stronger team
this season than they were last
year by far. and that they appear to
be almost Inevitable winners of the
state championhsip II they continue

TOWN BOARD LEARNS THAT TT
CAN ASSESS UNION PACIFIC
FOR FRONTAGE TAX THAT
HAS NOT BEEN PAID

Ault, Oct. 7.-When the town
board met last week with all Of the
members except one present and
took up the question of repeating
the ordinance prohibiting the keep
Ing Of hogs within the city limits,
the members decided that it would
be taking q backward step to take
such action, and laid the petition on
the table indefinitely. This petit
ttion had been circulated and was
signed by many citizens who were
Lonesome for their porkers.
The board ordered the building OF
sidewalks adjacent to the rear of the
lot ON which the Avery building
stands and in front of the John Hay
den residence at the intersection OF
Third street and Second avenue. the
property now occupied by C. N.
Tinker. An order for the repair OF
IA sidewalk at the rear of the Scully
building was issued. The board au-
thOrized Marshal Sheetz to employ
a sufficient number of men to en-
able him to prevent all malicious
mischief and unnecessary distruc.
'tion to sidewalks and other prop.
erty which usually accompanies the
passing Of Halloween. The mayol
was authorized to obtain $1.7Ot
worth of insurance on the towr
water works plant, $1,000 to be OF
the building and the remainder tt
be placed on the machinery ant
other fixtures. The annual tax lev,
for purposes OF taxation was made
the rate being fixed at 32 mills.
A communication from Attorne
Joseph c. Ewing informed the boar,
that he had investigated as to tn
liability OF the Union Pacific Rail
road company to pay frontage ta
and found that the statutes specific
ally empower boards of trustees o
incorporated towns to levy annual
and to collect a frontage tax on al
property fronting on water main
owned by the town. From tn
knowledge that the board has of tn
matter it appears that no return 70
frontage tax purposes has ever bee
made to the proper officers by locs
assessors of the property Of th
Union Pacific Railway compan
within town limits. Clerk McIntyT
was instructed to see that proper r,
turn be made for this year.
