1t is reported that the State High
way commission has apportioned the
sum Of 81 1882 500 for improved roads.
OF this amount 100000 is to be ex-
pended between Golden and Idaho
Springs, with $4,000 set aside for THE
Improvement of the Virginia canon
road. This is all very good and We
heartily endorse it, but where does
Gilpin county come in on this? The
Moon gulch road should be completed
and also a road built to Alice. Ger
tainly the good work done by our cit
izens last summer in reducing the
grade to the top of Dory hill and
over Guy hill should receive some
recognition at the hands of this COM
mission who appear to have the
spending of the peoples money.
Again We say, where does Gilp.n

ceive it's just share of the road ap

the past year. The TT. Collins Re-
view in commenting on same, has
the following to say:
Even grand jury has its embar-
easements for the ordinary citizen.
One cannot be seen around the court
house these days without being sus-
pected of some black crime.
''At the request of various indiv-
iduals, we shall publish hereafter, for
the convenience of any who have rea-
son to fear something at the hands
of the twelve men now In session at
the courthouse, a daily list of steam
ship sailing dates. Allow two hours
east and one hour west for differ
ence in time. See local time tables
for connections"
At no time was any citizen of our
county in fear and trembling during
the session of our grand jury. Judg-
ing from the Reviews statement
there must be a few guilty ones in
the valley berg. Moral: Stay in youl

The local express company has
made no announcement as to re-
duction in rates, maintaining that
their present rate from Denver is
six cents less than the parcels post
for the limit of weight of IL pounds,
as Central City is in the second zone.
A package weighing IL pounds can
be sent to Black Hawk from Denver
for 80 cents, but to Central City will
cost 46 cents, while the express COM
pany will deliver the same weight
package for 40 cents. AS to why Cen
trail City should get the worst of it,
and be placed in the second zone is
a little too deep for us. The state
ment is made that the Post Office
department has expended the sum
of $4,000 for new scales, $11 900 for
new rubber stamps; for tags the
sum of $4,000, zone maps only $13,-
900, and an evens1 900 for tape meas
ures. 1t is up to the patron of out
of town establishments to figure it
all out. For us we shall still deal

QUIET HOME WEDDING.

At the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Mack in the court house, on
Tuesday the last day of 1912, was
solemnized the marriage of their
daughter, Elsie May, to Harry Nor
ris, of this city. The ceremony was
performed by Judge Matthews. The
happy couple left on the afternoon
train for a short honeymoon in the
valley. where the wind is not SO
strenuous.
This marriage unites two Of the
county's most popular and esteemed
young couples. The bride possesses
most pleasing personality and low
able disposition. The groom is a
miner and most faithful and de-
pendable young man. Both possess
a host of friends in Gilpin county
who offer congratulations and wish
them long life and unbounded pros
perity in their new relations.

The Observer last week published
32 amendments. 1t presents some in
teresting conditions. Only nine of
the amendments carried, two of these
to NO purpose as both the fake and
genuine eight hour laws for miners
were adopted, one defeating the 9th
er. That the referendum and recall
Is a good thing for the people, is
without question, but as to the in
itiative it appears as if the voter had
not reached the stage where he can
vote intelligently. A bin with a pop-
ular catch word at the head of it will
get his vote, while more important
measure will be turned down. The
women's eight hour act received the
largest majority, the mothers COM
pensation act the next largest while
the act calling fer a jury trial for
constructive contempt was turned
down by the voter Home rule to
cities and towns, headless ballot, re-
call from office, recall of supreme
court decisions and the civil service
act were carried by small majorities.
The bill making public utility ccrror-
ations Of smelters was among those
defeated. When such vital meas
ures for the benefit of the common
people are turned down by the voter,
it does appear as if the time had not
arrived when he will take the time
casting his vote on same. The un-
scrupulous politician is awake to this
situation and is now planning to put
forward vicious legislation, with a
catchy title that will blind the eyes
of the voter who will fall fcr it.

A mean and uncalled-for attack on

A mean and uncalled-for attack on
one of cur leading citizens, j. C..
Fleschhutz, appeared in the Clear
Creek Miner of last week. The ar
ticle states that he proposed to di-
vert the waters of Loeb Lomand to
Central City, ignoring the natural
flow down Fall river canon and the
prior rights" AT no time did Mr..
Fleschhutz contemplate any such pro-
ceeding, but did try to interest the
necessary capital to bring in the
flood waters that were conserved by
the dams built by George Bancroft at
the Lomand chain of lakes on James
Peak. This would i'm no way jeop-
ardize or endanger the rights of US
ers of the Fall river flow. In view
of these facts it looks as if an apol-
ogy is due the gentleman.

The state tax commission has no.
titled the several county assessors
to make assessment on the actual
cash value of the property assessed.
Bank stock is no longer to be assess
ed at its par value but at the mar
ket price. The tax commission has
ordered that all banks be required to
furnish the assessor with the names
of stockholders and the number of
shares held by each, so that a man
cannot say that his personal proper
ty is all in bank stock to avoid the
tax collector. Judging by the COM
ments made by property owners in
the county, this new ruling of the tax
commission will accrue to their ben
eft as they say that heretofore they
have been taxed from four to five
times more than their property was
worth. On an actual cash basis for
assessment it will mean a reduction
of 75% in taxes for these people, if
their claims are correct.
