ELITcH ATTRACTIONS.

The remarkable farce comedy,
Seven Sisters" which played in
New York city last season with such
success, is to be presented in Den
Yer by the Glitch Long Stock COM
rany at Elitch's gardens, during the
week commencing Sunday, July 7th.
The play, which was produced orig
iaally in Vienna, begins and ends
with a laugh, and is filled with pret-
ty girls. A young Hungarian army Of
ficer falls in love with Mici. fourth
daughter of a rich merchant, and
they decide to marry. However. their
plans are blocked by an old establish.
ed custom OF the country, which for
bids daughter to wed until all her
older sisters have taken husbands.
The efforts OF the lovers to marry
off the three old, ugly sisters form
the base OF the plot, and the COM
plicatiors with which they meet are
nearly as numerous as the laughs pro
ducei. The leading part will be play
ed by Louise Woods. One OF the most
enjoyable attractions at the Gardens
is the new Palm Garden, recently op
ened, in which luncheon or supper
may be served in the open beneath
the trees. While getting the benefit
OF the cool breezes, the diner is
screened from the gaze OF the pass
er-by by n bank Of green palms. The
Palm Garden is the only one OF the
kind in the west. and is being patron
lied by the best OF Denver society

AT OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT.

The wrestling match that is to be
pulled off tonight in the opera house
between Hussane Youssof and Sid
Varney, promises to be one of the
best ever seen in the west. Both OF
the principals have trained faithfully
for over two weeks and are in the
pink of condition. The fact that Hus-
sane Youssof won match from Fred
Heall in Convention Hall, Kansas
City, before a crowd of $1,000 people,
has aroused great deal of outside
interest in this match. Challenges
have been received to meet the win
ner from Grand Junction, Colorado
Springs, Wichita and Salt Lake.
Sid Varney has been with Cutler
and learned many scientific points
o: the game. This added to his won
derful strength makes him better
than he ever was.

PUBLIC DRINKING FOUNTAIN.

Al publlc-spirited citizen of this city
could, in very pleasing manner,
gain the lasting gratitude of the
whole community. Inasmuch as the
county has undergone a moral clean
up, let's get busy now and make the
city beautiful. The first step in this
direction could be accomplished by
the erection Of an up-to-date, sanitary
drinking fountain on Main street.
There are several places on the main
avenue of the city where the installa-
ticn of said fountain would show
up to fine advantage.
This article follows the suggestion
made by one of the county's pro-
gressive and boosting citizens, and
were it not for the fact that he is
already devoting his boosting efforts
to other matters of benefit to the
county, he would no doubt take this
matter in hand himself. The sugges-
tion is worthy of much consideration,
and there are any number of our cit

matter. 1t would be showing graft
tude for the county that put them
on top and has kept them there. Let
one man start something in this line
of improvement and beautifying and
others will surely follow. This good
old town was not built by one man,
and improvements should be looked
upon in the same light. Let's all get
busy, and with few effectively car
ried out beauty schemes, the ben
ecits will be realized by all.

SLIDES AND PAY sTREAks.

Colorado possesses in her lists of
public speakers, several brilliant ora
tors, some living and others have
passed away, says the Rocky Noun
tain Herald. In the political history
OF the state, on three occasions, ora
tory reached climax, that was most
memorable, and probably never was
excelled in the Rocky Mountain re
gion. Spontaneity and encompassing
events led to those mastery flights
of eloquence, thrilling great aud
fences, and never to be forgotten by
those who were SO fortunate as to
hear them. The first was that of the
late Congressman James B. Belford,
years ago in the old Denver armory,
in replying to the attacks that had
been made upon him by o. H. Rot
hacker in the Denver Tribune. With
chaste invective that held spell
bound his hearers, he gave Rotback-
er such an oratorical lynching, that
all the Denver papers suppressed it
to protect a brother editor.
Another climax was reached in tho
Republican state convention held in
the Tabor Opera House in 1882. At
that time Senator Hill and Henry and
Edward o. Wolcott, were friendly in
politics. a delegate having drawn
Senator Hills name into one of the
contests, Edward o. Wolcott arose,
about midway in the right hand aisle,
In the rarGuette, and in that nervous
quick manner which characterized

finger. shouted, Don't you drag SEN
ator Hills name into this fight" The
gallery of the opera house was pack
ed against him. The crowd hissed.
Wolcott continued. He talked as
only an Edward o. Wolcott could do.
Higher and higher he climbed in his
cratorical flight, until it reached a
brillliance. that the kissing gallery
and the great throng broke into
tumultuous cheers.

THE PRIMARY PROVISIONS
IN A NUT SHELL

Busy people will appreciate the
primary law, prepared by e. l.. Reg
ennitter:
1.-THE present state, district and
county chairmen, and the central com
mitteewomen of the respective poll
tical parties, will act until the prim-
ary election, which will be held on
tho second Tuesday in September,
1912.
"calls for the holding Of caucuses
and conventions will be made by the
respective chairmen of each pilitical
party as heretofore. but the word
Assembly will probably take the
place OF the word convention be-
cause the word ASSEMBLY is used
in the statute to designate what has
heretofore been called 'conven-
tion.'
"The conventions or assemblies to
elect delegates will be much the
same as in the past, but what have
heretofore been called nominating
conventions will differ under the new
law in this: Every candidate receiv-
ing ten per cent or more of the votes
of the duly accredited delegates to
such assembly for any office to be
voted on at the ensuing election will
be certified and have his name plac-
ed on the direct primary ballot, the
one receiving the highest vote at the
assembly being placed first in order
on the primary ballot.
Candidates can also procure their
names to be placed on the primary
ballot by petition.
"After notice by publication, etc,
similar to notices of general elec-
ton, and on the second Tuesday in
September, the primary election will
be held, in which the members of
each political party will vote for can
didates OF their party for nomination.
THE result of the primary elec-
tion will be ascertained similarly to
the manner employed in general ell
ections, and will fix the nominees of
the respective parties to be voted on
at the general elections.
"All political parties will hold their
primary elections at the same time
and place in each election precinct.
under the same judges and clerks
who will officiate at the general ell
ection.
Each party will also. at the pri-
mary election, elect its precinct
committeeman and committeewomen.
who in turn will choose chairmen,
vice chairmen, etc.
at is also open to candidates who
do not wish to affiliate with po-
litical party to procure nomination by
petition.
"The principal effect OF the act
will be to give the voters a greater
influence in the nominating Of candi-
dates than they have heretofore en-
joyed.
"The general membership Of the
parties will also have greater in
fluence in the control Of party ac-
tion."

WORK ON AUTO ROAD
WILL START MONDAY,

The initial move in the building
of the auto road will be commenced
Monday morning of next week, under
the supervision OF =. O. Richards, who
is chairman of the auto road commit
tee. Monday evening, the weekly
meeting. of the committee was held
in the quarters of the Chamber of
Commerce
| Next Monday teams will be put to
work with plows and graders to build
the Missouri lake section of the road.
These will be donated by those who
are willing to aid in the meritorious
purpose of giving the county an auto
drive that will not be excelled by
any in the state. Otto NJ. Blake of
fered one of his teams, Geo. E. Fritz
will put horse to work, Neil Nc
Kay will send out what teams he can
spare from time to time, and Peter
McFarlane has offered his team when
ever it is not in use. There are 9TH
ers who will donate the use of
horses and any number of men have
volunteered their services when out
of work.
The committee is meeting with
every encouragement among the bus
mess men and the work is being I'M
dertaken with a vim 1t will not re-
quire very great time to build the
portion of the road which will elm
, mate Dory hill and then the Guy
hill section will be built. On the Rails
ton creek portion considerable aid
is expected from the farmers in that
vicinity. They have assured the COM
mittee that they will not only assist
with the Ralston creek portion when
the road is being built but will look
after the upkeep. v
A deal has been practically closed
with James Dunstone for the ground
on his ranch through which the new
road will pass. The road will pass
ground over 500 fest in length. He
has agreed to accept $4,000 for the
ground and will build the necessary
fence for an additional $4,000. The
fence will be longer than 500 feet and
the work will be worth all that he
asks in putting up the fence.
! Those who have horses which they
can spare if only for day or two
are requested to notify Mr.. Richards.
Any men who are aesirous of donat-
ing their services are also requested
to see him.
The committee is satisfied that
through what money that can be
raised and with what work will be do
mated, the building of the road will
not be difficult undertaking from
a financial viewpoint. Everyone real
ICES that in an undertaking Of this
kind everyone is benefited more or
less and that everyone should do his
share. If the same spirit is display
ed in Gilpin county as was manifest
ed in Clear Creek county in the
building of their auto drive the en-
tire road from here to Golden should
be ready for use by the latter part
OF August. This is a county matter
and every citizen of the county is
expected to do his, part.
