The State Highway Commission
at its last meeting passed resolu-
ton that should receive attention
from all points along the Midland
Trail. Empire has already taken
up this question and will arrange
for a camping place. including
tennis grounds and Golf links,
and it will be great attraction
for auto tourists Idaho Springs
should have the same. If these
tourists, who will live out in the
air to large extent as is done in
switzerland, can find attractions
of such pleasurable nature,
where they stop, it will be great
inducement for them to protract
their visit and also advertise their
attractions. It is a natter that
will be attended with comparative
ly little expense and one that will
pay. The resolution is as fol-
lows: "RESOLVED, That these
State Highway Commissioner and
Advisory Board request the cities
and towns along the State High
ways to provide suitable grounds
for camping places for the use of
automobile visitors"

The striking of streak of ore
by a mining company seems to
usher in a move for mill. There
are mills in this district sufficient
to han die double and more ore
than is now being shipped. They
should be patronized to their full
extent for they have made large
investments. It does not speak
well for a camp to have several
mills either not running or run
ming stesdy by Jerks. !" When a
company has an abundance of ore
to mill and ore that has been test
ed to ascertain what kind of mill
is adapted to that peculiar ore
then the question of a mill for
economy may be all right. 1t
would pay much better for a COM
pany to spend several hundred dol
lars in having their ore tested in
mills now IN operation SO as 10
make sure of the approximate
value of the ore than to plunge
into debt to spend thousands in a
mill as an experiment. 1t would
pay much better to develop the
mine on large and reliable scale
&c o,,1
it's values than TO erect mill on a
small vein with the uncertainty of
it's continuation. Improvements
are always source of pride and
welcome provided they are going
to be attended with results, but
improvements that are of a mnsh-
room nature are detriment.

The deathof Christopher King on
last week came as a surprise to his
many friends and former associ-
ates in this city. For years he
mined in this county and was part
owner in the Coming Nation mine
up Soda Greek from which there
was a small streak of wire gold
that run into the thousands OF
dollars per ton. He was one OF
those straight-torward-char
who believed that honesty was
not a policy but principle
aud followed it literally. The de-
ceased was born near Dublin, Ire
land 6o years ago and came to this
country when mere youth, stop
ping first at Cincinnati and after
wards at Evanston, III. AT the
latter place he met two men who
were afterwards to play an import
ant part in the development Of
Colorado, namely Mr., Evans who
was subsequently governor OF
Colorado and Albert Thompson
state surveyor general. AS. they
were going to drive across the
plains to Denver, Mr.. King joined
them and had made this state his
home ever since. He is survived
by a widow, a daughter, Grace
and three sons, Edgar, Chris and
Clifford. His remains were in
tered in crown Hill cemetery.

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

Throughout the winter the short
wraps became very popular; in fact. SO
much SO that the full-length wraps were
practically abandoned, leaving us with
modified evening wraps to wear in the
spring and summer. In these may be
found some charming designs developed
in rich brocade or matelasse to wear
over the evening gown, and others made
of ratine, dark satin or dark matelasse,
suitable for wear over the thin frock at
the summer resort or with the afternoon
gown.
These short wraps are also being worn
on the street, but the co!ortng Is SUB
dued and the material practical. Here
I'm the sketch is represented most at
t,active model of gray cheviot serge
with a fine stripe of darker gray. 1t is
cut large and rOOnly across the shoulders,
and has wide sleeves set into dropped
arniholes under 4 corded seam.
The fronts cross diagonal1y and then
slope down the sides, rounding off In
back. The draping of the lower part OF
the coat is laid in two folds and caught
under the diagonal slash of the fasten-
ing. The neck is finished with broad
tuIned-down collar of white ratine and
rows of white enamel ball buttons are
arranged at the line of closing and up
the outside of the sleeves.
In cutting the coat the material is laid
so that the stripes of the body portion
run up and down. The sleeves have the
stripes running lengthwise. but the deep
seton cuffs are arranged with the stripes
running around them.
In navy or any dark shade OF ratlne
the same design can be attractively de-
veloped for a travelling or motor coat.
while in brocaded or plain satin it will
make a lovely evening wrap.

The smartest folks will sometimes find
That other folks are quite as smart,
And so their little tricks all fail
They simply play foollsn part.
Inc Billy Postum was beginning TO
have an idea that that was just the case
with him. When Farmer Browns boy
found him up in the haymow Unc' Billy
lust pretended that he was dead. Yes,
sir. he pretended that he was dead He
didn't move SO much as an eyelash when
Farmer Browns boy picked him up by the
back of the neck. He hung as limp as II
there wasn't a breath OF life in him when
Farmer Browns boy swung him by the tail
and climbed down from the haymow with
him. When Farmer Browns boy dropped
him with thump on the barn floor Inc
Billy didn't even grount. though he wanted
to, for it shook him all over. But he
didn't. He lay perfectly still just as he
fell. Farmer Browns boy pinched INC
Billy's tail. pinched it hard 1t hurt
dreadfully, but still Unc' Billy didn't
move.
BY and by Farmer Browns boy pre-
tended to go away, leaving Unc' Billy on
the barn floor. What he really did DO
was to hide behind some barrels close by,
where he could watch Unc' Billy. After
everything had been perfectly stin for a
long time Unc' Billy very. very slowly
opened one of his sharp eyes. He didn't I
open it wide, but just SO that he could
peep out from under the lids. He could
see those barrels. and sticking out from
behind one of them something that looked
to him very much like the toe OF shoe.
inc Billy slowly closed his eye again
and inside he grfnned.
"Yo don't catch this possum that way.
Mtstah Boy" said to himself, and took
care not to move.
Finally Farmer Browns boy gave up.
He came out from behind the barrels,
and his freckled face wore a broad grin
as he stood looking down at Unc' Billy.
You certainly are smart old pos
sum- but you are just fooling yourself
if YOU think you are fooling me-" said
he. You're just as much alive as you
was when you sucked those eggs up there
in the hay I'll just have Bowser watch
YOU while l fix a place to keep you. No,
sir: you can't fool me for minute, Mr..
Possum, You did 1t once a long time
ago. but your little trick won't work this
time.
Then he whistled for Bowser the Hound
and told him to watch Cnc Billy, but
not to touch him unless inc Billy tried
TO get away. Bowser shifted at Unc
Billy and growled way down deep in his
