Snow a Plenty

Horton Pope, Richard A. Parker
and John NJ. Larson, went out to
Denver Monday, after their visit Of
inspection at the Star Mine prop
critics. On their return trip from
the m inc they had a thrilling cxper-
ience during the heavy snow storm,
passing thru about thirteen snow
slides, two of which they drove
over, but had to shovel thru the
most of them and one of which they
just about rolled over, teams, sleigh
and all.
1t took three or four days to make
the trip down, and upon reaching
the railroad the gentlemen were glad
to send the teams to Crested Butte
by Mr.. A. Mckinley, and to -ex-
change joys of sleigh riding for com :
fortably seats in passenger coach.
But never mind about the hards hips
now, the Star and Independence
will go on producing and it is eX-
pected big future results are forth
coming.

weeks, the spirit of Judge o. II /.
Aikine answered the final call Of He
who docth all things we'll, and who
hath said well done, thou good
and faithful servant, enter thou into
the joys of thy Maker
Thus does another of Gunni-
son county's prominent pio-
ncer residents and most highly re-
spected citizens pass from our midst,
but the memory of his brotherly de-
votion, his kindly acts and his un-
selfish and deep interest in the well
fare of his fellowman will live on
thru this life. Nor will we forget
that his was character well worthy
to be exemplificd and placed before

who would attain high standard
of morality and true manhood.

immediate future. lies in the line of pro-
tective medicine; and those who shirk
their responsibility mnst suffer the pangs
Of a guilty conscience.
A few more suggestions of what ought
to be done. Lintend to submit soon to
the council, an ordinance providing for
the inspection of dairies. including the
stables. corrals and the milk. The tuber-
culin test of all COWS whose milk is offer
ed for sale in town, should be vigorously
enforced. And right now is an opportune
time to begin it. If the plans for milk
condenseries materialize. our farmers
will be buying milk COWS in large num-
bers. If they are not alert many tuber-
culous COWS will be imposed upon them.
No one can tell by the appearance of a
COW whether or not she is. tuberculoos.
The only test is that of tuberculin, and it
is strictly reliable.
The milk offered of sale in town should
be frequently tested. first for its bacterial
content to show the cleanliness or want
of cleanliness of the dairyman. and for
butter fat and protein content to show its
nutritive value, And in the summer
months there should be frequent tests for
preservatives. And there should be in
speotion OF cattle to be slaughtered for
the home market. and of the meats offer
ed for sale. And there should be inspeo-
ton of all foods offered for sale. and tests
as to their purity. We know nothing now
as to how much glue and glucose is sold
to our children IN cheap confections. nor
how much boracic acid in canned foods
we are using.
Given these measures and few others
can think of. and the death rate OF
Rocky Ford will fall by not less than
three to the thousand of population, and
probably as much as five. If we take the
lower figure. it means the saving OF ten
or twelve lives each year, and the saving
of many more cases of sickness The
usual estimate OF life value to a COM
munity is $4,000. If ten lives are saved
this means fifty thousand dollars to our
credit. To this add the saving of under-
takers bills. doctors bills. nurse hire and
time lost. and you will have total of not
Tess than seventy five thousand dollars.
But finally we can not reckon sickness
and suffering and grief in dollars and

A WIRING
SUGGESTION (

The cost Of wiring a house already
built is not great. Once installed,
the electric equipment will meyer
have to be replaced. 1t will outlast
the building.
The modem electrician works in a
clean and orderly way, neither tear
ing up your household, nor disturbing
decoration, furniture or rugs in the
slightest.
Most people now refuse to move into
houses not equipped for electricity.
Our representatives will be glad to
plan your installation, make careful
cost estimates and put you in touch
with reliable contractors. Telephone

lover. Hence she saw only one way
left-to sacrifice herself"
Herself"
The Reverend Mother patted my
hand. Isn't that what women in
tragic circumstances are always do
ing?" she said.
by some excuse-I don't know
| what-she persuaded our father to
change rooms with her that night
he going upstairs to her bedroom in
the tower, and she to his on the
ground floor at the back, opening on
to the garden and the pine forest that
goes up the hill.
What happened after that nobody
ever knew exactly. In the middle of
the night the servants heard two pis-
tol shots, and next morning my sister
was found dead-shot to the heart
through an open window as she lay in
my fathers bed
The authorities tried in vain to
trace the criminal. Only one person
had any idea of his identity. That
was my father, and in his fierce anger
he asked himself what he ought to do
in order to punish the man who had
killed his daughter,
Then a strange thing happened.
On the day before the funeral the
young musician walked into my ia
theirs room. His face was white and
wasted, and his eyes were red and
swollen. He had come to ask If he
might be allowed to be one of those to
carry the coffin. My father consent
ed. TIL leave him alone he thought.
The man is punished enough
"All the people OF Albano came to
the funeral and there was not a dry
eye as the cortege passed from our
chapel to the grave. Everybody knew
the story of my sisters hopeless love,
but only two in the world knew the
secret of her tragic death-her young
lover. who was sobhing as he stag
gered along with her body on his
shoulder, and her old father, who was
walking bareheaded and in silence,
behind him"
My heart was beating audibly and
the Reverend Mother stroked my
hand 10 compose me-perhaps to
compose herself also. 1t was now
quite dark, the stars were coming out
and the bells OF the two mcnasteries
on opposite sides of the lake were
ringing the first hour of night.
That's my sisters story, Mary"
said the Reverend Mother after a
while, and the moral of NJ own Is
the same. though the incidents are
different.
Il was now my fathers only child
and all his remaining hopes centered
In me. So he set himself to tind a
husband for me before the time came
y hen / should form an attachment
for myself His choice fell on q
middle-ased Roman noble Of distin-
guished but impoverished family.
He has great name; you viii

Because . because l wish TO

There was silence for a momeat.
and then my father broke into bitter
laughter.

said, bridling up, and when she was
dying she hoped | should become a

BAH" said my father. with a con-
temptuous If; of the hand, and then.
turning to the Reverend Mother, he
said:
"IIark here ma'am There's an

III EXPECT her to be ready and waiting
and willing-ready and waiting and
willing, mind you--to go along with

After saying this my father faced
about and with his heavy flat step
went ont of the room. whereupon the
Bishop bowed to the Reverend Moth

Of the convent school had done for

But l had seen that the Reverend
