COAL CAMPS
IN PROSPEROUS
CONDITION

After a year or two away from the
Coal Camps comprising Williamsburg.
Stringtown, Bear Gulch, Rockvaie,
Coal Greek and Chandler the changes
and improvements to be seen are
marvellous.
In the first place one is impressed
by the prosperity that each and eyery
inhabitant shows. It seems to exude
from their systems. And this in spite
OF the fact that the summer months
are the quietest OF the whole year.
You hear but little talk OF hard times.
The mines In nearly every camp are
working four and FIVE days week
and this is extremely good consider
ing the season
At Williamsburg the Ocean Wave
mine owned and operated by The
Rocky Mountain Fuel company has
made some great improvements in
the way Of. buildings and equipment.
The machine shop over which Mr. J..
J.. coan. an unusually efficient ma
chinlst, ans presided as foreman for
many years. was rebuilt the first OF
the year and moved to better loca-
tion. Many other little additions have
been made which makes the Ocean
Wave one OF the most up-to-date
mines In the state.

streets. Call for bids has already

ago. BY the way. the waterworks
plant has groven great success in
every particular. In proportion to the
size Of the town Rockvale has as
abundant supply OF water as Canon
City and the water is just as good.

shaft across the hill Is a dandy and
is a. modern as expert engineers
could make 1t.
For the great civic improvements in
and around Rockvale Mayor Edward
Agard. s. Browning. John Kiie and a
few more are more or less directly
pride has been the inspiration for a
great deal that has been done and is
now in contemplation. The towl
council at the present time Is an un-
usually competent one and is p=o-
gressive in every sense.
AS one travels over the hill into
Coal Creek a great change is at once
apparent. Instead OF winding around
a steep hill over a rather precarious
road as IL used to be now the travel
er rides right down over the main
street of the town over broad. even
expanse OF roadway.
This Improvement was very expen-
sive and took an extraordinary amount
of time and patience and labor to con-

very latest ideas in scientific road

1t has helped Coal Creek. II has
helped the county. and It has hepled
the surrounding towns.

Rockvaie and these towns vie with
each other in a friendly spirit of
rivalry.
Winding around through mountain
ravines. over a rough but beautiful
road. one sights Chandler on in the
distance and the sight is fine indeed.

get further than that, and am Of the
opinion that in this generation most
people do not know mora than the
first line. But somebody always
knows that much any way.
Lots OF funny little things happen.
The other night At Estes Park two or
three of the young couples went out
for q stroll It VAS an inviting night

was tired and early retired. The faith

How little people know about the
common things Of this world In Estes
Park the other day eleven newspaper
men and women were out for an au-
tomobiIe ride. One man picked NIFTY
different kinds Of wild flowers. but
no one In the party knew the names
OF more than three or four. No one
could tell the names of any OF the
rocks along the roadside No one
could point out and tell the names Of
any OF the stars and planets-except
the North star. and most OF them could
not fnd that None OF them could
tell the names OF the clouds.
Those people probably knew n great
deal about some phases OF life. but
they certainly didn't know much
about the things we see every day. I
often wonder why we do NOT learn
more about the things we see every
day-the trces. the flowers. the rocks.
the stars and the animal life ali

cHAnuIe's FIRE RISKS MANY

In a report on fifteen OF the citie!
OF Kansas in regard to the fire defects
Chanute ranks about half way down
che list. In this list are such towns
as Wichita, Independence, lola, Sa.
lima, Topeka, Lawrence, OTTAWA and
HutchisOn.
Ottawa stands at the bottom of the
list with 220 inspections made and
ia these Ill defects were found. The
one that headed the list was the town
of Atchi. on, which out of the 2S0 in.
pections made only rs defects were
reported. In Chanute $50 inspections
were made and .ust ninety, or half,
of these inspections showed defects.
This places Chanute about half way
down the line and yet with all of the
defective wiring and "fire traps"
Chanute has been exceptionally lucky
in regard to big fires.

WILL PROBABLY NOT Be PAVED

A resolution was passed few days
ago to pave West Sycamore from
North Santa Fe to Grant Avenue.
At the time a remonstrance was re-
ceived signed by four Ct the resident
property owners but since 1t was
found that there were thirteen pro.
perty owners to be taxed for the
paving of the street, no attention
was paid to the remonstrance, besides
the filling Of 1t. Since then it trans
pires that although there are thirteen
property owners liable for the i'm
proving of the street only six OF
them are resident property owners
and In this case the remOnstrance
will prevent the putting in of the
street, as the law does not allow q
street of this description to be i'm
proved when a majority of the resi-.
dealt property owners object. No direct
action was taken on this at the meet
