rar cement, dainty in its menu and
elegant in its service and was most
thoroughly enjoyediby all present.

The entertainment and moving pic
ture show given for the benefit of the
Baseball Association was a bowling
success. The opera house was crowded
with an enthusiastic and appreciative
audience, every seat being taken. In
addition to the "movies' the program
was an enjoyable one, and was gotten
up by the star comedians, Staley and
Richards. Miss Beatrice Alexander
and Virginia Mixsell captured the
audience by their dancing while Mrs.
Preville and Tom Richards brought
down the house with their duets. Mrs.
Chas. Brandstetter sang two solos that
ELECTED prolonged applause. Mr.. Cass
Staley made his first appearance be
fore an Idaho Springs audience, playing
two pieces on a one string instrument.
As remarked by some present "either
piece was worth the:price Of admission.
Tom Richards and Miss Gladys Oliver
also received merited applause with
their excellent singing and graceful
acting.
The baseball minstrel performances
were full of laughable local jokes. The
young men did themselves proud" on
the stage AZ no doubt they will on the
ball field during the season. Dick
Staley was the interlocutor. while Fred
Leach and Tom Richards were the end
men. 1t was gratifying to all the
members to be greeted with such a
large and cheerful crowd and it is
hoped that the enthusiasm thus created
will be followed up with liberal pat
ronage at the ball park. The manage
ment Of the Association wishes to ex-
press sincere gratitude for the interest
thus shown by the public.

Clear Creek Boosters

There has been the mcst en-
couraging progress on the Midland
traiI' says President Silversparre
of the Trail Association. "Much
of importance has been accom-
plished in the past few days. 1t
is now only month before the
arrival Of the Indiana Automo-
bile manufacturers tour, Every
thing possible is being done to
inx,ve the road from Denver TO
Salt Lake City.
ITO the west of Denver, Jeff
erson county is doing good work
and already offers very fair road
up Mount Vernon cancn toward
Idaho Springs. Tw, miles of
road at ihe head of the canon need
repairs.
"Clear Greek canon however
holds the title of champion road
building county of the state.
Hearing that some of the noun
tain passes were already for travel
and emulating the example set by
her sister city, Idaho Springs, last
year in rebuilding Floyd Hill, the
citizens of the little town of EN-
pire spent three days of last week
in clearing away the last remain
ing evidence of winter from the
top Of Berthoud Pass. To do this
they were forced to drive ten
miles each morning and evening
and the work was largely done by
volunteer service. The ladies of
the town furnished a hot mid day
meal for the workers
Estate Engineer Malonee has
just returned from Grand and
Eagle counties and reports con-
in the former even better
than anticipated and with the road
thr ough Gore canon already open

Contractor R. w. McCreary
of Wolcott left Denver last Thurs
day after collecting thirty-fve
men. He will at once commencelm-
proving this road, with positive in
from his county COM
rot to appear again in
Wolcott If this stretch Of the
trail is inferior to any other by
July u when the In dianapolis Wis
itors arrive.
Eagle county, while not SO
far advanced with its work, will
let contract for the completion
of its link of the Midland trail
this week. This county has only
about three miles of exceptionally
bad road to repair as against twen
ty-two miles in Grand county.
"No apprehension is felt for
Garfield and Mesa counties as both
are brimfull of Midland Trail en-
and each has had a
camp of forty men at work for
