ONLY THE KINDL|EST
FEELINGS For PEOPLE
OF CRIPPLE CREEK

1t is matter of general regret here
that anybody living in Cripple Creek
should get the idea that their pres
ence in this city is not wanted. A
somewhat humorous article appeared
in the Cripple Creek Times few
days ago, which was reproduced Ill
these columns on Thursday without
comment, in which 1t was stated that
visitations of Cripple Creek excuf-
sionists to Canon City were distaste-
full to people here. How such an I'M
preston should get out passes under
standing, and, We are certain, rests
upon nothing more substantial than
the Imagination.
There are very close business and
social relations existing between Can
on City and the people OF the Cripple
Creek district, and, so far as we are
aware, that intercourse mas been pro-
ductive of mutual respect and esteem
People here have for years flattered
themselves that they possessed their
full share of hospitality and were too
broad-minded to endeavor to make
distinctions among people where
none in reality. existed. There may be
what the Cripple Creek Times desig-
mates as "moss-backs' here. but Sd
there is in every community in the
country; north, south, cast and west.
but they are not representative and
should not be selected as the standard
by which the public at large is meas
ured. There are, no doubt. prudes and
'.n..ss-backs" in Cripple Greek as well
as in other places, bat it would be
wrong to Judge the citizenship of the
community by them.
Just to show the people of Cripple
Creek that we have only the kindliest
feeling for them it is hoped that as
many of our citizens as can conven-
Ientiy do so win meet the excursion

FIGHT SNOW AND Mud
ON TRIP FROM DENVER

An experience that neither of the

But for the heroism, courage and
coolness of the Mansions chauffeur.

the little Ford car would have made
the journey at all. But Glenn kept his
nerve under all conditions, no matter
whether the car was on the road or
in the ditch, and safely landed the two

FROST FRIDAY HlGHT RE-
SUITED IN SOME DAMA6E

a light frost Friday night through
out the Canon City district caused
some damage TO the earlier varieties
OF strawberries and other OF the tend
erer forms OF vegetation. but did 7ot
injure the apple. peach. pear. cherry
or plum blossoms. although 1t is be-
lieved the currauts were nipped in
some localities. The temperature got
down as low as twenty-eight degrees
in a few OF the more exposed places
on Lincoln Park and in East Canon.
but the average for the community
was about thirty degrees at the cold
est period OF the night.
Many orchardists, both on Lincoln
Park and in the Fruitmere territory.
had their heating and smudge pots
going most of the night. although. in
the opinion of many well informed
horticulturists, there was no neces-
sity for their use. Only the earli ,st
bloom OF the strawberries were
caught and the injury to the crop can
not at the most. in the opinion Of
growers exceed thirty per cent. Liiacs
and other flowers highly susceptible
TO the influences of the frost were
nowhere affected by the cold of FRI
day night. although few gardeners
are lamenting the loss OF their early
planting of beans.
There was a snowfall In the pixies
Peak region Friday afternoon and
night and much lower temperature
was registered there than here. There
was a slight snow in Colorado
Springs and at Cripple Greek. the pre-
clpitation was four or five inches.
Cars coming down here from the Grip
pie Creek district brought with them
evidences OF the blizzard that pre-
vailed IN that section OF the state.

SUPPORT OUR LOCAL BALL
TEAM If YOU WISH SUCCESS.

Last Sunday the Durango baseball
team played a game with the Denver
War Eagles, they lost, but the game
was very much to their credit. In
stead of heing discouraged they
should keep up their spirits and keep
the team together. This they could
easily do if the merchants and the
people Of Durango as p whole would
give their support in the maintain
ance of the team.
The last game played was as good
rs a person could witness, no matter
where they would go. At this game
there was only some $50 people at
tending the game, this did not pay
expenses accrued in bringing the Dem
yer War Eagles to Durango. The
home boys have worked hard to keep
up the team, and nearly every ev-
ening after they have finished their
days work. you will find that at @
o'clock they go 10 the fair grounds
and practice until dark. For this
work they have not received five
cent piece; so let us turn out and help
the boys; give them encouragement;
which Is only helping Durango and

The matter of providing route
for the cattlemen to drive their stock
through was one of the important
topics discussed. Capt. Davidson rep
resenting the cattlemen, insisted the
present ordinance relative to the sub

quested one be drafted that was fair
to the cattle owners as well as to
the residents of the city. He sug-
gested that Second avenue be desig-
mated as the place for all stock to be
driven. The objections that Second
avenue property owners would make
was anticipated by the council and
this suggestion did not receive con-
sideration. Mr., Waters and Mr.. May
addressed the board also regarding
the matter They thought they were
not being given square deal under
present conditions. The matter was
finally referred to the police commit
tee and Alderman Wingate to draft
a suitable ordinance and determine if
right of way could not be secured
for the cattlemen across reservoir
hill. This arrangement was agree
able to all parties concerned.

of "perjured testimony" of the Mer-

was to spatter with mud suffering

Thaw that would be calculated to keep
him behind the bars, sane or insane.

SENATE REBUKES PRESI-

Western Press.
Z WASHINGTON, d. c., July II. =
The senate late yesterday indirectly
rebuked President TAFT for his course
in connection with the Lorimer case.
The case was once blocked from q
vote by the Archibald impeachment
proceeding, resolution, battle SCARED
in a protracted debate, was finally
adopted, 35 To %, denouncing "any
attempt on the part of president" to
exercise the power of his office to in
fluence vote on questions within the
senate's exclusive Jurisdiction. The
resolution was originally framed by
Senator Bailey, who had arraigned
President Taft, asserting that he had
been "offieious and meddlesome" in
endeavoring to line up the regular Re-
publican senators in the Lorimer case,
and as adopted read:
Resolved, that any attempt on the
part of president Of the United
States to exercise the powers and in
fluences of his great office for the
purpose of controlling the vote Of
any senator upon a question involv-
ing right to a seat in the senate or
upon any other matter within the ex-
elusive jurisdiction Of the senate would
violate the spirit if not the letter Of
the constitution and invade the rights
of the senate.
Not Democrat voted against the
resolution, ana but six Republicans

SUGGESTS
NEW METHOD FOR KILLING THE
FLIES BY USE OF MoLAsSES
ON THE STREETS.
Western Press.

Western Press.
GREELEY, Colo, July 17.-C. T..
Hartman, who came into nationa fame
through advocating looking glasses on
street cars to prevent women from
getting off backwards, has startled
the aldermen of Greeley. He propos-
es to rid the city of flies by sprink
ling the streets with molasses from
the sugar factory, as the town of
Evans did, but to put poison in the
compound so the flies, after being at
tracted to the streets to find food,
will die Immediately. The rains and
sprinkling carts will wash the flies
into the sewers so there will be no
expense for the cleaning. Evans tried
heavy molasses, procured from the su-
gar factory, instead of street paving,
found it allayed the dust and had 9TH
err advantages as cheap pavement.
Molasses does not harm the streets,
and Mr.. Hartman says a few appli-
cations during the summer will kill
flies and will be washed off by au-
tumn.
