The pictures are photographs of the
Cliff Dwellings in Montezuma county,
and also of views in Mesa Verde Park

The proceeds will go toward the pur-

Miss Ruby Adams, who underwent

The Sophomores have organized a

The schools begin early Friday af-

order that the pupils may go to the fair
grounds to witness the balloon asccn-

The high school has been organized
into three literary societies. The first
programs will take place Friday. Octo-
ber 18th All patrons of the school
are cordially invited to attend.
A change has been made in the man
ner of carrying on athletics in the
high school. Up to this time only
few pupils could take part in athletics.
but now the inter-scholastic games
have been done away with and inter-
class contests are to take their place.
Under the direction of Mr.. Mccarthy
the boys are practicing football and
there are also games of volley ball
and basket ball for both boys and girls.
Much benefit is expected from ath-

chance to read, was not followed This
could have been done at about one
half what it costs to publish in one
paper four times, and double the num-
ber of readers could have been reached
but that would never do. The Demo-
cratic papers must have 1t and all OF
it. Thus it was made available as a
Democratic campaign fund of S150,000

NEWSPAPERS MUST TELL
TROUBLES TO POSTOFFIcE

The Independent notes that the
newspaper associations which have re-
Gently gathered in the states are loud
in their denunciation of the rider
the late lamented dying congress
tackled upon the postoffice approp-
priation bill. and upon which batch
of Stiffness the postmaster general has
issued his ultimatum that all papers
not complying will be excluded from
the mails. Merely to denounce such
al, assanine measure is entirely too
mild. 1t calls for profanity.
What right has the government, or
postoffice department, to compel a
newspaper to publish whom 1t has
borrowed money from and how large
Ia The mortgage, any more than 1t has
=, REQUIRE the same from farmer or
any other bushes man. Most OF the
newspapers are mortgaged and so are
many farms and chattels, and all for
the same reason: They had to Dor
row money. And they borrowed in
the same way, from the banks or from
whomsoever they could, to the best ad-
vantage
There seems to be an inclination
to place hardships on newspapers-the
things which have done more to de
velop the country and make the United
States great-than has its Congress
its Senate, its Cabinets. or its Presi-
dents. Take the newspapers out OF
the United States and what would It
be in ten years? China would have
it skinned to a fraZZle. And If very
many more such fool laws are to be en-.
forced, we incline in favor OF the
finger-nail tribe as 1t is.
Little wonder the people of this ma.
ton get plunged into a deep brown
study when pondering over the jack.
asses they send to represent them.

amount OF business shown since the
corporation began issuing monthly re

exceeded in the quarterly statemenh
since September 80. 1907. The larges'
amount OF business the corporation
ever reported was S.4s9.7l9 tons OF

order books has increased from 5.os<.

CHARLES w. WATERMAN,
Republican Candidate for Y. S.
Senator.

The University Cynic has the follow
ing to say of Mr.. Waterman:
The early life of Charles w. Water
man was attended by the viscissitudes
that have frequently attended the
youth of those who have gone forth
from the old Green Mountain State
to help make, and to add to the lustre
of the history of other states-viscis-
situdes that, reacting upon an old New
England stock, find mature expression
in granite firmness and strength OF
character and in that clearness and
breadth of vision, logical comprehen-
sion and mastery of the problems of
modern business and social life attri-
butable, in part, to early environment,
Puritan ancestry and self-reliance,
born of an early comprehension of the
truth that one must be the architect
of his own fortunes.
Born in Waitsfield. VT. in Novem-
ber. 1861, up to the age of seventeen
Mr.. Waterman's opportunities for edu-
cation were such as were afforded by
mont of thirty years ago,-meagre
enough, in good faith. and yet stimu
lative enough to mind that saw be-
yond the circle of hills that formed
the rough horizon of his boyhood
home to awaken an earnest desire to
