The late Edward o. Wolcott was

he once had with miner on noun
tain trail. 1t was in the days when
the senator was struggling young
attorney and he was moving from
one town to another with all of his
earthly possessions on the back of
a small donkey. On top of the load
on the donkey's back was a small
sign board the senator and his bro
ther had used when they were law
partners. The sign bore the words:
Edward Wolcott and Brother. Attor-
neys-atLaw." Mr. Wolcott and the

LIKE PROPOSED GRADE

These who travel the Golden and
Black Hawk road are enthusiastica[
ly backing the new and easier grade
proposed over Guy Hill.
The farmers in the vicinity OF the
Booton, Tripp and Robinson ranches
have a long hard pull going either
way over this hill and have long
sought a better grade.
A preliminary survey has been
made and with but few hundred
feet added to the distance, the grade
has been reduced to only about SO
with but little more in the steepest
places, making every foot Of the road
easy for automobiles. Now it is pos
sible for only the most powerful
machine to negotiate this hill from
either side.
This will make it easier for farm
ers living beyond Guy Hill to mar
ket their produce in Golden and an
easier return with their supplies, thus
as is always the case, good roads
benefit both the farmer and the mer-
chant.
The improvement of this road will
also aid in securing rural delivery
for the people living in the vicinity
of Belcher ,and Guy Hills.
While we are building so many
good roads lets all push for the new
Guy Hill road.-Golden Globe.

Governor Ammons vetoed house
bill No. 116 on Friday. The bill was
to amend the charter oof Central
City granted In 1864, SO that the tax
payers might vote ON the question
OF issuing bonds to the amount OF
$50, 900 to take up outstanding city
warrants. The reason given for the
veto, was that the wording of the
bill was incorrect. 1t will likely be
passed again, as similar bill was
introduced in the senate. The PRINT
