DENVER, Col, May 22.-Practical'
ly complete returns received early
today from yesterdays municipal
election show that the Citizens Re-
form ticket. headed by Henry j. Ar
mold for mayor and Judge Ben Lind
sey for juvenile Judge has swept the
city, electing every candidate by
overwhelming pluralities. The plur-
alities of Arnold and Judge Lindsey
will be Ak least 10000, and their ma
jorities over the combined votes OF
the Republican and Democratic can
didates from 1000 to 10000. The
citizens also swept every ward and
elected every alderman.
Judge Lindsey, who has fought the
Democratic and Republican machines
for many years, said today:
This victory Is a revolt against
the beast which has caused me to be
villified and assailed."
Judge Lindsey made an especial
appeal to the women of Denver, and
:hey evidently rallied to his standard.

OH City Occupies an Unique Position,
In that it is located in the center
of the proven portion of the Oil

oil land in that field that has not
Vet been covered by an oil and gas
lease. 4 number of oil companies
have made unsuccessful efforts to Sc
cure an Oil and Gas lease on all
nnsold lots. but it is understood to
be the policy of the Oil City
Company to convey all oil and
gas mineral rights with the lots,
thereby giving the buyers the full
benefit of everything that is below
as well as above their lots, which
will insure the drilling OF great
many oil and gas wells right in OIL
City. each lot being large enough
to drill an oil we'll on.

Visit to Old Friend Reveals the
Progress of the Valley
Community.

To one who travels but little, the
whole Sound district presents on each
recurring visit, the most noted evil
dences of rapid and permanent ad-
vance. On a recent trip to Tacoma
and its environs, as far as Puyallup.
all along the highway extending some
dozen miles from that city, are found
at close intervals many habitations all
showing signs of prosperity; and Puy-
allup from being a mere whistling sta
tion on the railroad has become
thriving town of 1000 inhabitants,
with its mayor and councilmen, a
prosperous newspaper, three "theaters"
with nightly exhibits of picture shows
and at times vaudeville.
The writer had the pleasure of en-
tertainment by DR.. ]. H. Mcdonald and
his estimable wife, not excepting
"Tim," who has long been in the care
of the doctors household affairs, who
live in the largest house which is de-
voted to affording excellent lodging for
travellers as well as local guests. 1t is
a real pleasure to visit them, for their
greetings are cordial and sincere.
The doctor although retired from
practice has a well selected drug store
and various electrical appliances in his
habitation.
He still finds time for alleviation of
the ills of mankind. He Is too much
of a philanthropist to let humanity
suffer for want of medical or surgical
care. .,..ss... Geo..
