Many good Christian men signed
the saloon petition for the very same
reasons that their brethren OF the

1t because, and only because, they had
deeply at heart the protection and en-
hancement OF the good morals of the
community. There are those, and not

far better every way to have in opera

logging. We do not agree with them

spect and admire them for their Chris
titan manliness in standing by their
convictions. Bootlegging under our
present laws is an improbable and
hazardous business.

ton to the water should be evenly

parts may receive its due share of the
chemical. This chemical in an aka. I
line water, will kill all disease germs
in a few minutes and leave the water
in good condition, as far as disease |
germs are concerned. This reagent !
is probably the better chemical to add,
but does not kill the larger miscro-
scopic forms, which may be present
in the water
The use of the chemicals is in no
way harmful or detrimental to the wa
ter or ice from a sanitary standpoint
in the amounts indicated, and will alb
solutely kill all dangerous germs, such
as found In water, if properly applied.
The copper sulphate is far more
toxic to the microscopic forms, but is
less active in some forms of bacteria.
1t should be applied in the same man
ner as for the other chemical but must
only be employed in alkaline waters.
The amounts should vary from one to
| five parts per $4,000 parts OF the wa
ter to be treated. Any good grade of
copper sulphate will do for this pur-
pose.
1t should be said that either of
these methods are not applicable to
streams or where there is constant

result would be that the once steril

IF THEY ONLY
KNEW THE TRUTH
evening Sermon by Rev. Mcbride at
United Presbyterian Special
Services.

Only continuous and increasing
good reports are to be made OF the
meetings at the United Presbyterian
church The sermon Of Rev. D. L. Nc
Bride Friday evening showed that he
was deep and earnest thinker as
well as xeasoner. He pressed home
to the hearts of his hearers many a
vital question.
Rev. Mcbride took for his text the
tenth verse of the fourth chapter of
John: Jesus answered and said I'M
to her II thou knewest the gift of God
and who 1t is that saith to thee give
me to drink, thou wouldst have
asked OF Him and He would have Civ
en- thee living water The speaker,
IN referring to the story of the wom-
an Of Samaria at Jacobs we'll, brought
out the fact, very emphatically, that
the trifling things oftentimes make
our entire lives different. If the wom-
an of Samaria had only known that
the stranger sitting on the we'll was
the Saviour of the world she would
not have answered Him as she did. IF
we knew, If we only knew, what God
has for us, all we would need to do
| would be to let down our buckets and
He would give US everything we
| need" my grace is sufficient for
thee If Herod had only known that
! the babe born in Bethlehem was the
/ Saviour of the world how much Of
! envy and hatred it would have saved
old Herod II India only knew, II
China only knew il the Ghetto of New
York only knew, how different II
would be with them. Jesus says. q
am come unto you that your JOY may
be full" Paul's prayer was that he
might not have the spirit of the world
/ but that he might have the spirit o.
! God.
Rev. Mcbride stated that the Chris
/ tian people Of today could be divided
into three classes, as far as the mo
i tives which constrain them to church
service are concerned. Some peopl,
go to church because of habit; som,
because of duty, and some because
they love to go.
j If the church of Jesus Christ toda.
4 only knew that 1t could have the pow
er that the church of Jesus Csefs
had in the days of Pentecost what
power It would have. If the churcl
today is going to have this power l
should have, it is going to have VIVA
those disciples had ten days befor
Pentecost The church today is no
able to thrust itself upon the worl
with the irresistible impact 1T ough
to have If 1t only had that power. 9
believe the world today is going t
: picture shows, going to races. goin
: to ball games because the world !
: hunting something to satisfy its thirs'
: and the only place 1t can get it 1
) through Jesus Christ said the speai
err. If we only knew we would as
/ and He would give it to us.

DENVER PAPER GIVES
M|sInF0RMlT|0M;--
NO TROOPS NEEDED

According to the Denver Post of re
cent date, the district attorney has
called for the state militia to handle the
strike situation in Gunnison county
This report is absolutely untrue, and
was probably submitted for publication
by state house reporter who picked
up the ragged ends of communication
from Gunnison county in which the
deputy district attorney asked for GER
tain instructions of the governor as to
the handling of certain situation which
apparently has by this time ceased to
be of immediate Importance. In this
particular instance, the authorities here
were referred to the federal officers
who restated the same instructions
which had formerly been given out.
The officers of Gunnison county have
never asked for the militia or for the
federal troops. The situation here has
been handled thus far without any out
side aid and with minimum of expense
to the taxpayers.

FIFTEEN MEN BEGIN
WORK ON HOPE CLAIMS
ON ITALIAN MOUNTAIN

Fifteen men have begun operations on
the Hope claims in Italian basin and
the force will be increased in a short
time. This valuable group lies in the
main guleh Of Italian basin just below
the Star and Bull-Domingo and has al
ways been considered one of the richest
properties of the district. The ore so
far discovered by tunnel and shaft pros
pecting is mostly of low grade character
running about twelve TO fourteen ounces
silver. ten to twelve per cent lead, and
zinc values up to twenty per cent.
However, the vein is fifteen feet wide,
and contains streaks of native and wire
silver even on the surface. A concen-
trating mill on the ground will, it is be
ieved. make paying proposition of the
Hope.
The present shaft is only down So
feet, but will be sunk TO level of 200
feet this winter. The men employed
are building cabins and getting ready
for winter campaign.
This mine is being developed by a
new company. the Lexington mines
Co. John Larson is superintendent and
manager. Henry d. McElwain, presi-
dent and John H. McElwain secretary
and treasurer.
Mr.. Larson also has twenty men at
work developing the Star properties so
that Italian mountain exhibits a great
deal of mining activity, there being
about fifty men in camp. Shipments
from the Star have recently been de-
layed on account of bad roads, but viii
be resumed shortly.

The stretch of road between this
point and Somerset has always been a
problem. With both the Fire Mountain
canal and the railroad there was no
room for the road in the north side of
the North Fork, and it would take an
expensive bridge and much more new
road to carry it down the south side. A

The August meeting of the town

night, where, after allowing bills and
approving reports of appointive officers,
the main topic of discussion was con-
corning some proposed ordinances upon
pool rooms and restaurants.
1t was finally decided to call upon the
town attorney to draw up an ordinance
closing pool rooms and soft drink estab-

night and all day Sundays, and closing
lunch rooms at eleven at night, though
not ON Sunday. As the council later
adjourned until Tuesday the 18th Of

brought up for passage, it gives every
fellow who thinks he might need bite

to register a protest.

great activity in mining circles, since
the advent of the Crystal River Mining
Milling and Power Co., a recently
formed corporation with headquarters
in Denver, which has taken over the
workings of the old Sheep Mountain
Tunnel, and is rapidly getting things in
shape to mine upon large scale.
Some 30 men are on the payroll of the
company now, with the intention of
putting on from so to 60 as soon as they
can be economically worked, These
men are employed on two main PROPOSE
tions. The first is cleaning out and re-
timbering the old tunnel This big bore
was run in the early nineties, about
twenty years ago, on one of the lime con-
facts running across the face of Sheep

headed for the Black Queen vein, but
after running 2900 feet and finding only
small streaks of the rich ore that made
the Queen famous it was abandoned
although immense bodies of low grade,

Hearing in the estate of Wayne Scott
came up in the county court Wednesday
on a petition from Date, Ferry and Zed
Scott, the three sons of the late Wayne
Scott, to determine whether they are
the owners of certain ranch property
near Doyleville, valued at some ten
thousand dollars, or whether this pro-
perty, known as the Frank Dunn ranch
or the old original Crooks ranch, belongs
to the estate and is subject to claims
against the estate. 1t seems that this
ranch was acquired by Mr.. Scott for
the boys, as they supposed, acting as
trustee for them, and certain papers
were signed by him in that style. How
ever, other papers and deeds were not
so signed, but rather to and by Mr.. Scott
as an individual. Claimants against the
estate, of which Mrs. Rachael Scott is
eNecutrix, appeared by attorney.
