Mr, Robert McAllister is here for
4 few days renewing acquaintance,
doing little hunting, fishing and

country at large.
Having completed our large con
tract with the town OF Crested
Butte, in the matter of laying ce-
1uent walks and crossings, we deem
il proper to express our sincere ap-
probation and gratitude to the Hon.
Mayor and Board of Trustees in par
ticuar, and to the citizens of the
town in general, FOR their fair deal
ing. kind confederation and helpful
cooperation throughout the progress
fthc work and in the matter OF
final settlement. 1t gives US great
pleasure to say to the people OF
Crested Butte that your town officers
are entitled to great credit for their
excellent work inimproving the ntl-
1icipality, and we trust that they
may all be continued in their respec-
tive offices to the end that their
work--so well beguumay be carried
through to completion, and also as
n small measure OF appreciation for
their splendid, unsefish public ser
vice. Starka d Waterman

President s. II. Congdon Of the
Elk Mountain Company was here
over Sunday and left for Gunnison
and Denver Monday. He expects
to arrange with the railroad this
week for the permit to construct the

and sent in to the general office for
approval some time ago.
We have lad ii reported that
some Of our grouse hunters have in
Il number OF instances exceeded the
number allowed by law for one
days killing 1t is suggested that
they had better go slow and not go
beyond .he limit because it will go
hard with them should n game war
den get wind of the big grouse kill
ings reported around town.
Manager Ira Littel of the Pueblo
Fuel Compahp was here ON busi-
ness trip this week.
Supt. O. V. Roberts, OF the
Crested Butte coal mine went out
Monday for Il few day. vacation.
He will take in the Pueblo Fair and
return the last of the week with a
team of mules that are to he pur-
chased while on this trip and which
are to be used IN hauling coal up the
entry slope of the new vein now
being opened for additional coal
This new vein has six
feet OF fine coal and goes into COM
next month.
The smooth writing qualities pos
;essed by gold fountain pens may
be attributed to the tiny bit OF white
metal-iridium-fastened to tho tip
IF the pen. Iridium is an exceed
ngly rare metal, according to the
United States Geological survey, not
more than 5000 ounces being pro.
luced IL year, of which perhaps
about 400 ounces are recovered in
.he United States, mostly from I'M
ported platinum sand and from cop
per ores and bullion. The price de-
Tor iridium has been in
;reasing rapidly, and in 1911 1T
ranged from $50 to S64 an ounce
or pure metal. Owing to its unique
qualities, iridium finds a fairly cx-
.ensive use. Most of the metal
produced is probably used for hard
ming platinum. It is further used
ior various scientific and technical /
purposes, such as standard weights,
pivots, contact points, and as pre-
,iously stated, for gold pen points.
iridium black, an oxide of the metal
is highly valued as a pigment for
decorating chinawarc. According
10 the Bureau of Statistics, 3,9O5
roy ounces of iridium and iridium
in native combination with plati-
mum metals, valued at S2l0, GIG,
were imported into the United States
in 1911.

Tuesday and is spending several
DAYS with Manager McClcnethan

been audited for something like six
months which indicates the good
faith held in the Company's mana

Mitch satisfaction is being mani
tested by the town residents over
tile construction of the new cement
walks that have been finished by the
contractors. The only complaint
heard is that the town board did
moi give Il contract to lay the walks
on down botlt sides OF Elk avenue
to the depot, which certainly would
have BEEN Il great additional inn
provcmcnt in the looks OF the main
street but il was thought by the
board that this would be too great
hardship on the taxpayers. The
contractors have certainly given us
a mitch better walk than we have
had IN previous work.

SHARP BREAK IN
 COTTON MARKET Final Tone Steady-Last Prices 6 to II Points
 Net Lower

New York, October 5.-An early ad- vance on apprehensions Of unfavorable weather over Sunday was followed by a sharp break in the cotton market today. Final tone steady. last prices to Il points net lower. The market opened steady at an advance of to points and before the end of the first hour sold about to points net higher on cover ing and fresh buying for long accounts.
 The market was influenced by apprehen- sion of storms on the western belt, fol- lowed by colder weather, the continued firmness of the English spot market and reports of a more active trade demand. The advance attracted Q good deal O. realizing, however. and the market late in the morning eased off sharply under this selling. southern offerings and a re- newal of bear pressure. Last prices were at practically tho lowest. Generally clear weather was predicted for the eastern belt Reviews of tho dry goods market indicated continued activity and private cables from Liverpool attributed the com paratively firm showing Of the spot mar ket there to good trade in Manchester and better demand rom British spin ners.

 loss in this haphazard There was value in human companionshlp as well
 as In books, and that could be con-
 served only by common dwelling. | Then arose the beginning of the dormi- | tory. Then, after a century or so of the colleges existence, arrived the
 brick row." with complete accommoda-
 tions for the lodging of all the students
 of the college.
 In the halcyon days of tho brick
 row. and the fence" say the middle half of the nineteenth century Yales community life was at It's best and com pactest The men within the classes, at least, really got acquainted with each other in their four years. Those were the days when the foundations of Yale democracy were laid. But prosperity brought changes. The college outgrew It's home. The favored few lived on ahs campus
 The many had to Tive on the town" The erection of Lawrance and Durfea helped somewhat, but still fin the early
 sos only seniors and juniors could be reasonably sure of places on tho cam pus. Some sophomores got into tho older buildings, but tho freshmen who got on to the "row" were in the rare and fortunate few. Now dormitories, Welch. Vanderbilt and others in tho new campus, came along fast after that. but they did not catch up with the de- mand. It was not until the plans for Wright were complete that tho faculty could announce that with the compile tion of that dormitory all the under , graduates of the academic departmenti could be housed in college buildings. The building activity of some of the other departments, notably Shelf. has made the same almost true there. So now Yale ceases to board out" The announcement has "homy" sound, but it does not mean quito all 1t seems.
 For meanwhile the college hs outgrown single campus. The old and the new are divided. dual life has grown up. There can never again be the single community interest of forty years ago. when the brick row. was all. But there will from now on be a tendency to draw together. at least g checking or the tendency to draw apart which
 has been growing iu the past two de- cades.

Germans and the Pensions
he Philadelphia Record.


 In recent lecture before the German Association of Iron Founders Professor Bernhard said that in the minds of the masses of the German people the idea had taken root that every illness and every accident must lead to a pension Tn consequence the peoples attention had become morthdly concentrated on tho processes going on in their own bodies. and this produced those nervous phenomena which doctors described as pension hysteria,'"
 In other words, the relief legislation Of Germany has set the industrial pop rlation to studying their symptoms to see whether they do not warrant an al- lowance from the national pension fund Originally pension hysteria' occurred sporadically. but 1t has gradually de- veloped into an epidemic which pre- vails in all the industrials regions of Germany. according to the unanimous reports of the doctors. Professor Bern haTl said that this facilitating collateral effect of artisan insurance had. in con- sequence of the accommodating atti- tude of the law courts attained dimen- sions so great that institutions with which 1t had been roped 10 produce vig- orous and happy human beings threat ened to lead to the degeneration of the nation Through extess the idea of pro- tecting artisans was actually resulting in injury to them

Meat Will Illuminate

From tho New York American. There would be few things moro disturbing to careful housekeeper than for her to enter her iarder and find the remains of the joint of beet which had been used at dinner shining with a green phosphorescent light Yet this Is likely to happen to any woma1 by the seaside in summer. This phe- nomenon Is frequently seen upon ham and corned beef. especially the latter. and sometimes it is SO marked that 1t can be distinguished in the daytime Yet it does not mean that the meat is unfit for food. although it Is sign that that bacteria are at work, which. sooner or later. will cause the meat to become putrid.
 Indeed. as an experiment, this phos- phorescence Is remarkable. A thin slice Of meat placed in a shallow dish with just enough sea water to cover 1t and no more, so that tho air can get at 1t.

|BEAR|SH EFFECT IN
 WHEAT MARKET
Heavy Northwest Receipts. Prices Is to 1c Under.
 Corn Down

Chicago, october 5.-HeavIer receipts northwest had a bearish effect today on wheat The end of the day left the mar iet depressed, varying from isc to 1c under last night. Corn finished 1sc to esc down, oats off is@l4c to i4gssc. and pro- visions trailing from unchanged figures to 1elsc below.
 Not only were the arrivals at spring wheat centers more liberal than Of late. but country sales increasing, and there was said to be active hedging in conse- uuence. The Canadian movement, too, showed signs of becoming brisk. All this took attention from war talk and tended to pull down prices.
 A moderate rally came about as result of assertions that exporters had bid high CT at Omaha. There was some comfort also for the bulls. owing to predictions of rain or snow in the Dakotas. and be- cause large part of the receipts north west showed poor quality.
 No lasting influence. however. was ex- erted, tho market slipping down lower than before. December ranged from 9la e2i4c, with late sales at si,so. net loss of 7sc.
 In corn an early speculative bulge gave way to weakness, due to favorable weather and to the slowncss of cash de- mand. The downturn in wheat counted further against the bull side. December flutuated between 52i4c and 54c. closing easy, s4c net lower at 5sssc. Cash grades were dull. No. yellow was quoted at 66ikc to s71zc.
 Free selling by commission houses weighed on the oats market. Top and bottom limits for December were 32iac and s2is@s2i4c, with the close at the last named level, h@ssc lower than 24 hours before.
 Plenty of realizing on the part of hold CTS brought about an easy feeling in pro- visions. January pork led the decline and when the last bell rang vas down 12tas net.

PETROLEUM FIGURES
 IN STOCK MARKET.
Opens With Offerings 66 to 72Hc-New Speciality Ex-
 cited Apprehension

New York. October 5.-The feature of the early dealings in today's stock market was California petroleum which was formally listed on the exchange after steady advances in price on the curb. The stock opened with largo offerings at s6 to T21h, compared with s5a. its closing price in the outside market yesterday. The stock later dropped several points. but appeared to be in demand
 For a brief time tho prominence of this new speciality appeared to excite apprehension among traders and the market wavered slightly Before the end of the first hour, however, the list made general recovery. In the final dealings Lehigh Valley came forward, advancing 2 points on very heavy trad ing. Other representative issues be- came active at improved prices and the movement soon embraced various minor railway stocks and low priced industrials.
 The markets rebound from yester- day late heayiness was ascribed to for eign advices, which were more hopeful regarding the Balkan situation. London was a buyer of stocks here following its home demand for our securities. Further drain on the bank of England's gold reserves were caused by heavy shipments of the metal to Germany and Egypt {.
 The bank statement furnished some surprises in the cash and reserve items. Actual reserves decreased s5,S57,s 800. re- ducing the excess to S4,141 300 conn pared with s9,499,1o0 a week ago Tho cash loss was $7.326,000, which far ex- ceeded all forecasts, while loans were reduced by a fraction under s20,000, 900. The statement as a whole reflected the uncertain conditions which always at tend quarterly periods.
 The bond market was dull and rel atively steady. Total sales, par value, aggregated sS00,000.
 United States 2s registered advanced 1s per cent on the week.

How He Saved the Dav

From Norfnan D. Mack's National
 Monthly.
 Three bright young men were spend- ing their vacation in camp. and they had agreed to draw lots to determine which one should do the cooking. It was also agreed that if any one should complain about the food he should be required to take the cooks place. In the drawing Harrison. the young doctor. lost, and cheerfully set about his culinary du- ties.
 When the toast was placed on the table Griggs. the law student. gave it look and yelled:
 This toast Is burned to a charcoal on one side--but that's the very way l like 1t. though, fine. fine!''
