was held at Rapin's jewelry store
Monday evening, when the Gilpin
County Fish and Game Protective
Association was organized for the
purpose of cooperating with the Fed
eral and State Game commissioners

form pools that the trout could win

heyi1G anys interest in keeping our
streams stocked; also the hills stock
ed with small game, should at once
affiliate with this worthy cause.

OUR WANDERING BOY RETURNS.

Louis ]. Rachofsky returned Sun
day evening from a three weeks WIS.,

ed the Grand lodge session OF the
Elks, being the representative from
the Central City lodge. Louis claims
the trip was the finest and most
pleasant he has ever taken-and he
has taken a few, too. The Colorado
special train, carrying Elks from
every nook and corner Of the state.
was accorded unusual hospitality
along the route. The Colorado Special
was furnished and sent out by the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad. The
grandest scenery in this western
can be enjoyed to its fullest over
this line.
Every town of Importance along
the line in Colorado, Utah and Calf
ornia did themselves proud in enter
tanning the visiting Elks, stop OF
from one to four hours being made
In each place Various kinds of en-
tertainment had been provided, and
were enjoyed. The trip was one
which all who were fortunate to take
will always be remembered. But here
we are spinning along with this ar
ticle as though we were along on the
trip. But We are recording the trip
of Louis and he will vouch for all
we say-and more that we won't

DR.. w. T. Cain and Jesse j. May,

Cain-May-Rachofsky.
And now a few fact and figures
regarding the Benevolent and Pro
tected Order OF Elks The Portland
meet was by far the most successful
in the history of the order. 1t is es-
timated that between 250,000 and
100000 Elks and visitors were in
Portland during the Reunion. The
secretary's report showed the order
to be the wealthiest in the country
having assets Of over $4,000. 900. The
membership is nearing the 100000
mark. The Denver drill team took

POPULAR HUMoRIsT COMING.

writer, singer and humorist, support
ed by an excellent company, will ap-
pear at the Central City opera house,
Friday, August 3d. under the aus
pices of Father Naughton for the ben
eft of st. Mary's church.
Mr.. Newman needs no introduction
to western audiences. for he long ago
won his way into their hearts by
reason of his originality, his inimit-
able manner and his happy choice of
selections. His every appearance adds
to his host Of admirers, indeed one
critic said, 'the more you hear Joe
Newman the better you like him."
zeal in always giving the people
something new And that reputation
he will maintain this season by of
fering a particularly bright and clever
collection of songs, including HIS
own compositions as we'll as the lat.

Mr.. Newman will bring with him,
this season, an entirely new company
consisting of Miss frankie Mast, vio-
linist, Miss Jane Crawford, contralto,
Miss Helen Wise, accompanist, and
Clair BoZman, soloist.
Miss Mast, after graduation from
the Cincinnati Conservatory of Mus
ic, studied three years abroad under
such masters as Joachim, Halir and
Wick Her splendid Interpretation of
the most difficult violin compositions
earned for her the unqualified appro-
baton of the foremost critics Of
Germany. Miss Crawford was recent
ly a member of the Aborn and the
Joseph Sheehan grand opera compan-
les. She is meZzo-contralto who
sings with great feeling and who ap-
pears to splendid advantage in the
aires requiring strength, volume and
dramatic expression. Miss Wise is a
pianist of rare talent and an accom-
panist of unusual ability. She fully
understands the art of following and
sustaining the violin and voice parts
SO necessary to successful solo work.
Mr.. Bozman will furnish variety to
the program by playing solos on the
sweet-toned instrument. the euphon-
ium. which he manipulates with an
ease and grace that captivates an
audience.
