INTERESTING MEETING OF CE-
DAREDGE COMMERCIAL CLUB
Railroad Situation Discussed and
Committees Appointed.

The annual meeting of the Ced-
aredge commercial club was held at
the Cedaredge hotel Monday evening
at which about thirty members were
present The first matter on the
program was the banquet which was
served by Mr.. Rowbotham in his
usual excellent style. The supper
was well arranged and consisted of
a large variety of eatables, such as
to put the gathering into a booster
class with vengence
President Dfngman made a short
talk on the work accomplished by
the association during the year and
left the meeting open to the cleo
ton of officers and directors. The
club was apparently satisfied with
the work of the past officers and di
rectors and each in turn was reflect
ed without opposition.
The officers are: president, w.
w. Dingman; vice-presidelt b. F.
Elhart, secretarytreasurer c. w.
Brewer; Directors, Drs. Bolton, Aust
and Morse, c. NJ Hooker and Roy
A. Downs.
| The matter of water works for
Cedaredge and the valley was TAX
bard, Mayor Row'botham, b. F. Ell
hart and others. The meeting ex-
pressed itself as being in favor of
the plan as now outlined.
The matter of the railroad prop
osition was then taken up and dis
cussed. E. F. Hubbard went into
the matter a little deeper than at
the former meeting and several 9TH
ers expressed their opinions. One
of the matters which has been caus-
ing no little discussion was the ap-
pointment of trustees to hold the
securities while the road was
under construction. 1t was decided
to recommend that three trustees be
named and the subscribers be Civ
en- their choice. as to who should
hold their securities. Roy A. Downs
Of the Bank of Cedaredge, DIR. A. H.
-,tockham, of the First National bank
of Delta, and B. p Smith of the
Delta National, were chosen as the
choice for this section. 1t is be-
lieved that Mr.. Priest will accept
this committee as trustees.
Another request decided upon
was to the effect that if the valley
could place the required amount of
stock on or before April 9Th. the
construction company would com
mence active operations en- or be-
fore August 1st, otherwise all con-
tracts could be cancelled. This was
done in order that the contracts
could not be tied up for the whole
year, in case the electric people
should get ready for business.
With these recommendations the
association voted to boost the pro
ject and has requested the commit
tee appointed at the meeting last
week to get busy as soon as word
is received from Mr. Priest. who is
now in Denver.-Cedaredge Cham

What a bunch of rot a newspa-
per would hand to it's readers If it
should print all the stuff it is ex-
pected to print. Every office is
flooded with the rambling detail of
this or that mans opinion on some
public subject, which subject might
be written upon from years begin
ming to years end. and little II any
thing evolved. Then there is the
long dissertation on public, private
and corporate enterprises, the dead
beat class of advertising which near
followed by man or madam's crouch
which nothing less than a column
of space can tell about. Life is prov
erbially short; especially the newspa-
per mans life. Into it are crowded
thousands of important subjects
which he must handle and ponder
how best to handle. In the modern
press, matters must be boiled
down or the paper Is not a success.
AS much can be said in ten, twenty

Alaska as a barren and uninhabited waste
that offered you an excellent opportunity
to freeze to death. They now know it as
a land laden with gold, rich in coal mines
and other mineral wealth and with mag
nifcent scenery. It is startling to realize
that this Territory, purchased a few years
ago for s7,20O,000 now produces upward
OF $50 OOO,O in gold alone, or more than
one-hfth OF the total production OF the
United States.
Uncle Sam certainly made a wonderful
bargain when he purchased Alaska from
Russia in 1867. And now, as If to impress
the fact on US more strongly than ever,

According to the Government reports
Alaska's production Of gold in 1908 was
96O,669 ounces, of a total value Of S19,S5S,-
600. In 1909 Alaska progressed to pro

of s2O.947,6OO. ColoradO's production was

1908 and ST. ,271, 300 in 1903 These figures
seem to indicate that Alaska is Overtaking
the other gold-bearing regions.
Gold has done a great deal for Alaska
