Mining in all parts of Gunnison coun-
ty has been making steady progress IN
the past year and the prospects for the
coming year are better than for many
years past. Mining in this section OF
the county has ceased to be carried on
on reckless. wildcat basis. The de
yelopmant work in all the mines in this
vicinity is being carefully done under
the direction of competent men.
The coal mines of the county are
rapidly being equipped with the most
modern appliances. which insure the
comfort and safety of the men while
working. The houses which are
owned by the mining companies are
being put in good repair. thus assur-
ing proper living conditions for the
men. At Crested Butte a gymnasium
Is in process of construction. This
gymnasium viii be open to all en-
ployees Of the company and plans have
been made to open II to the girls and
women OF the town as well as the men.
At Marble. Colorado. extensive ar
rangements are being made to accom-
modate the men who are sure to be
employed when the work on the Lin
coin Memorial contract is begun. II
Is estimated that the population of the
CITY Of Marble VIII be doubled within

The Cheyenne Wells Republi-
can is no more-that is. it[has
been changed in name to the
Cheyenne County News. and an
nounces under the so-called lessee
that it will be democratic in poll
tics in the future. Three Demo-
cratic papers in Cheyenne coun-
ty may prove the old saying,
two is company; three is a
crowd" to be true. However,
we make a guess that Mr.. Cain,
the owner, will not be far away
when the time comes to do anoth-
er flip flop when the Republicans
are back in power in the state
and nation. Barnum once said
that the people like to be hum
bugged. and Mr. Cain may be
initiating Mr.. Barnum, but per-
haps, his real reason is to secure
a front seat at the Democratic
pie counter. Hugo Range Led

Why the new currency bill was

almost entirely of new men, and
they directed the debate in the

the House. They covered them
selves with glory, too. although
most of them are young fellows,
just a little past the thirtieth

President Garfield declared
that "a man found his natural
level in the House of Represen-
tatives faster than anywhere else
on earth, and Speaker Clark
has described the Democratic
caucus as "the freest and most
Democratic gathering" he ever

A FEW FACTS FOR OUR
- Readers to Know

water wrote us that he would
have to make some disposition of
the Eastern Colo. TINES. as his
business in Missouri would not
allow him to give the TINES his
personal attention, asking us if
we did not want to lease it, if we
did not want it to box it up and
ship it back there.
Then came a man from Kan
sas City, who claimed to have
purchased the TIMES. but he left
in a few days without taking
charge of it.
Again came the proposition to
lease it, and we considered the
matter over and thought it would
not be right to the Democratic
party or the people of the county
to not have a representative at
the county seat, and we thought
perhaps we could make an hon.
est living here. so we concluded
to lease the TIMES.
AS soon as Mr.. Cain heard that
this party, who claimed to have
bought it, did not want it, he
came to us and offered us 500.
if we would quit and let the
TINES die. We had a legal no
tice in this paper at that time,
land Cain knew it,. which would
have caused this party some ex-
ira trouble and expense to have
it re-published. if we had quit
and let the TINES die. We re-
fused this offer, next he wanted
us to buy his Kit Carson plant,
that offer was also turned down,
then he wanted us to work for
him at Kit Carson, but would not
guarantee US any length of time
he would keep US. and that offer
was also turned down.
What he wanted was to get us
and the TIMES out of the way so
that he might have things all his
own way then he could charge
the county exoroitant prices for
the county printing another year,
the same as he has done in years
gone by.
Because he could not buy US,
or>bribe us. to let the TIMES die.
he has used every underhanded
scheme he could think of to get
us out of the town so that he
could have full sweep.
He has had parties to write
and telegraph to H. Y. Tarwater
for prices on the TIMES, but Mr..
Tarwater would not give them
any prices as he knew we had
leased it.
Next Mr.. Cain advertised the
Republican for sale in a Kansas
City paper, through the name of
T. E. Hickman. His latest
scheme is 1--WE think to hire) be

Forage Crops Special Train

The Union Pacific railroad will run
a special carrying forage crop experts
with view of encouraging the more
general growing of forage crops in
western Kansas and eastern Colorado,
the Union Pacific railroad is making
preparations to run special forage
crop train through this territory next
month, under the supervision Of r. A.
Smith, General ColopixsstnA and In
dustrial agent of the U. Fl
The train will start september 18th,
ut Bunker Hill. in Russell county, near
the center of Kansas, and will make
about twenty stops in that state, and
ten stops in Colorado. The train will
carry some Of the most noted agrono-
mists and agricultural experts In the
country ten or fifteen of them, he
cause large number of speakers will
be required TO take care of the several
meetings to he held ut the same time.
Among the speakers will he Prof. P.
G. Holden, of Chicago, the noted corn
expert, and other members of the Ag.
ricultural Extension Department ofth
International Harvester Co.. includ-
ing c. w Farr, r. w. Lanson. J. &
Hsney, G. H. Allen, ]. Z. Waggoner:
also professors from the agricultural
colleges. These men of knowledge
and experience will discuss with the
farmers how to make the best use of
the feeds they have. Pit silos, how
to make and fill them, what crops can
Ike used for silage, feed combinations,
the value of the sorghums, kaffir corn.
milo and alfalfa are among the sub
jects tobe considered.
The speakers will advocate the more
general growing of forage crops, with
special emphasis on alfalfa. Alfalfa
and other forage crops will lead to
di ,ersiied farming, dairying and
stock raising.
Western Kansas and eastern Colo
RADIO could grow more forage crops to
great advantage. and We need the silo
to make dairying and stock raising a
more certain and profitable industry.
The experts on this U. p. special will
talk to us about why we should have
thes things, and they will also tell
US how we can secure them. The eX-
perts will have with them graphic
charts, showing the results of feeding
experiments and other data of great
value to the farmer. Bottles contain
ing the bactaria on alfalfa roots,
chemicals for testing soil, etc., will be-
part of their equipment. Attend this
meeting and learn how to get u good
stand of alfalfa.
The whole purpose of the work is to
help the farmers help themselves, and
thus build up more prosperous asri-
cultural community.
Through eastern Colorado Govern
or Ammons and three of his staff, and
President I4ory. of the Colorado State
Agricultural College, together with
three members OF the college staff, will
accompany the train.

do not believe the people were so
much concerned with the meth
ods we adopted as the results we
achieved.
If we had refused to caucus
and had attempted to frame the
bills on the floor of the house,
our terms of office would have
expired before we concluded the
task. and then probably, no one
would acknowledge the patch
work product.
HOW THE CAUCUS WORKS.
The Democratic caucuses are
held in the hall of the House of
Representatives. Congressman
A. Mitchell Palmer. ofePennsyl-
vania. the man who drove Boss
Guffey out of Democratic politics
in the keystone State, is the pre-
siding officer. Bills are debated
with all the formality which
mark their consideration in the
House itself.
Speeches are limited to five
minutes, but an extension of time
may be secured by unanimous
consent, and this is seldom or
ever refused. Every member
is given ample opportunity to
present as many amendments as
he sees fit to discuss them prac-
tically as long as he wishes. We
caucused for two weeks on the
tariff and even longer on the cur
rency bill.
There is utter absence Of the
machine methods. If the leaders
were to resort to the Steam
Roller" there would be an imme-
diate revolt.
Before l left home for WASH
ingtoE, men who pretended to
have q knowledge of how things
were done in the Capital warned
me that l must be prepared to
either make my peace with the
party Organization" or declare
war on it. I was told that if l
displayed independence l would
be punished by some mysterious
bower. was also assured that
a new member was not supposed
to participate in the business of
the caucus or the House and that
the older members expected him
to take rear seat and stay
there. All of which is rubbish.
Undoubtedly in the old days
there was a machine" or 'or-
ganization" in the house. and it
did undertake to punish rebels.
That was when Gear" Reed
and Uncle Joe Cannon welded
the gavel, and Presidents pre-
tended to take the post Offices
away from the insurgent Con-
gressmen. Those methods went
to the junk heap with the elec-
ton OF Clark and Underwood as
majority floor leaders.
FREEDOM OF MEMBERS.
Now every member knows he
is at liberty to "speak his peace"
as he jolly pleases, and that no
one will call him to account. So
far as the post Offices and other
Federal patronage are concerned
among the Democrats without
regard to their attitude toward
the party leaders.
And the new members are not
sitting in the rear seats, either.
In fact they are away down front
doing most of the talking, and
acting like they had been in the
House all their lives. The most
delightful feature of the whole

Washington Letter,
BY Edward Heating,
Congressman-at-Large
From Colorado.

Before one has been in Con-
gress very long, he discovers
that practically all legislative
work is done in committee or in
caucus. The proceedings on the
floor which prove so interesting
to the occupants of the crowded
,yalleries are frequently only the
fireworks displays to celebrate
the achievement.
1t is because of this that some
of us have been insisting that alt
caucuses and committee meetings
shall be open to the public and
press. We want 'the breezes OF
public opinion" to blow through
the places where the course OF
public business is fixed. We
have been fairly successful IN our
fight. Practically all the COM
mittees hold open meeting now,
while the Democratic caucus is
still held behind closed doors, the
Journals of its. proceedings IS
carefully kept and, together with
record votes, is given to the
press.
There is disposition in some
quarters to condem the caucus
and demand it's abolition. Lean
not entirely share in this view.
l do not believe we have anything
to fear from the open caucus
On the contrary I am convinced
that it can be made most effect
i've engine to work the peoples
will.
A GOVERNMENT OF PARTIES
This is a government of par
ties, and will probably continue
to be during our time. The
great political parties in conven-
ton formulate governmental pro-
grams and make more or less
specific promises to the voters.
When a man accepts a nomlna-
ton on party ticket he binds
himself to the governmental pro-
gram or platform pledges of that
party.
1t is self evident that the indi-
didual, however able or brilliant
he may be, cannot hope to exc
cute the program to which he is
pledged without the aid of other
individuals who are bound by the
same obligation.
Such q situation leads natural
" to a caucus or conference of
those who agree on certain prin-
ciples. l see no reason why
such a caucus should not be bind
ing on those who participate in
it-unless its findings outrage
the conscience of the individual,
and then as matter of course.
he should withdraw.
SCOPE OF THE CAUCUS.
would not have the caucus
go beyond questions of party pol
icy. l would differentiate be-
tween the pledges made to voters
by the party and those made by
the individual.
BY way of illustration; The
Democratic party promised to re-
wise the currency and tariff laws.
We did not submit to the people
the exact form of the laws which
we hoped to place on the statute
books, but we laid down certain
clear cut, easily-understood prin-
ciples. The details were lett to
Ne party's representatives in
Congress and they entered a eau
Gus and fought out their differ
ences. When they secured bills
Eastern Colorado times., 1913-09-04

claims to have leased it to Mr..
T. E. Hickman.
He finds that as we have
been working hard for the up
building of the town and county,
and not to run anybody out of
town as he has US, and running
a good moral paper and are gain
ing friends that his business is
waning, and with the proof no
tices slowing up and no possible
show for the county printing an
other year at the high prices he
has been obtaining. He con-
cludes to lease his plant and have
it run as a democratic paper so as
to draw some of the Democratic
patronage away from the TIMES
and in that way to try and freeze
us out.
He believes in "Rule or Ruin"
and we believe in Living and
Let Live.
We are told that when Cain
came here from Missouri he
wanred to run his paper as a
Democratic paper. but was per-
suaded to run it as a Republican
paper.
We are proud to know that we
do not have to acknowledge him
as a Democrat, casting no insin-
uations against the Republican
party, for they have some as
good men in their party as in any
party, but like all societies there
is bound to be some ''Black
sheep creep in.
Now, Mr.. Cain. a leading men,
ber in the Church. a man above
all others who should set a good
example for others to follow,
goes and bogusly 1--WE believe)
leases his plant and appurtances
to another man, in order to get
Democratic prestige.
He has used the Republican
party as long as they could be of
any benefit, financially, to him,
and now he is taking this under
handed scheme to get back into
the Democratic party, and treas
ury, and get a few of their extra
dollars.
If anything is rotten, this is
what we call the rottenest kind
of rotten, and we hope that the
head officials of the Democratic
will see to it that
this paper, the CHEYENNE
COUNTY NEWS, does not get
any recognition from them.
How does he treat his hired
man. a man that has always, for
the last two and a half years,
worked hard and faithfully for
him. Does he, like a man ought
to do, notify him that he has
leased his plant. and will not
need his services any longer, and
give him q chance to get another
place? No, he does not, but
kicks him out, VIRTUALLY speak
ing) like. most people do their
dogs, when they have no more
use for them.
In conclusion we wish TO state
that we have met Mr.. Hickman
and think he is a nice man, but
we are sorry to think that he has
been drawn into such a trap. and
we believe that the town will be
better off with him as a citizen
than it does with a man who is
always scheming to do dirt to
someone else.
What do YOU think of q man

know that our competitor was
not working on the square.
We will try in the future to re-
frain from quarreling through
this paper unless compelled to.
