BUSINESS AROUSE

That business is on the mend in
our state is attested by many of our
state exchanges. The Georgetown
Courier in it's last issue reports that
the Chamberlain sampler at that
place, did larger amount of busi-
ness in the month of September than
for any one. month in the last five
years. The merchants also reported
an increase in their trade. The Ida
no Springs Gazette reports that the
Chamberlain sampler did larger
business in September than in any
like period in the last three years.
The San Juan and Gunnison districts
report mining and milling on the in
crease.
Is it not about time the merchants
and mill men of this county bestir
themselves and give their papers
something cheerful regarding theil
business, that they may proclaim to
the world that Gilpin county has not
been devoured by the allied armies,
but is still on the map?
Prosperity was never attained by
business men hiding their light un'
der a bushel, and it is the duty of
the business men of this county to
be as energetic as those of our sis.
ter counties. Gilpin county is as
rich in gold as any county in the
state and has two live newspapers
that would pride themselves to pro
claim these great truths to the
world, had they the energetic men
to assist them.

The voter of all parties will make
no mistake when they cast their
vote on Nov. for Henry C. Bolsing-
er for representative. Mr. Bolsinger
has served the people of this county
for many years in both legislative
branches and in all those years was
never found recreant to his people
and their interests. When our only
great industry is being throttled in
many ways and not only double but
treble tax is placed upon our mines,
and our ore market curtailed by a
ravenous and devouring trust, he is
the proper man for us to send to do
battle for the peoples rights. He has
been tried under fire and never
found wanting. and party lines
should be eliminated when voting for
our interests.

DRIVEN ON THE SHOALS,

What will the Republican campaign
orators ind to talk about this fall?
Their cry heretofore has been that
the Democrats have ruined the beet
sugar industry of the state and
closed the sugar factories. Reports
now coming to us are to the effect
that the beet sugar factories are a
busy place, and the railroads are be-
ing taxed to their utmost to handle
the crop. There are twice as many
tons of beets on hand at the opening
OF the factories as heretofore. The
sugar content is. greater than usual
and the sugar companies, stricken
with remorse, are voluntarily paying
the beet raisers an additional fifty
cents per ton.
Wilson's wise policies are already
beginning to have their effect. The
sugar 5ugaboo, so long cherished and
preached by the reactionary Republi-
can and dreaded by the beet rails
er, has been exploded, and that great
industry is now enriching the Colo
rado farmer many fold. The financial
bill that will go into effect this
month, will soon have its telling ben
eft upon the finances of the coun-
try. And the administrations anti
trust bill will prevent restraint of
trade and will soon adjust the in
dividual boosting of prices. These
wise policies have knocked their H.
logical fallacies into smithereens, and
left them without hope of ever again
befooling the people with their full
dinner pail" heresy. 1t is, however,
TO be lamented, that our Democratic
administration has so ruthlessly de-
prived these bunco-steerers of their
job and ammunition, wherein they
were to earn paltry dollar by storm
ing the very citadel of Democracy in
this state. and lay our great and
learned Thomas slain political VIC
tim at their very feet.
The great fabrications and decep-
tions that have heretofore been the
Republicans stock In trade, have
gone the way of all chicanery and
falsehood.
Their empty predictions have been
swept away like chaff before the
whirlwind, and their lealcy and worm
eaten hulk is now making its last
political voyage. The devastating
hand OF time has lowered its sail
and bereft. It's rigging from all that
sayored of merit in the past. and
ehorn Its halyards from the canvas

To read in the remaining reaction
airy papers printed in Colorado. one
is led to believe that the Progress,

conflict with the actual facts. Judge
]. P. Dyer, of St. Louis, an old Re-
publican war horse, whose fealty to
that party eXceedeth tie memory of
man, has announced himself true
Progressive and counseleth his fell
low man to go and do likewise.
Judge Dyer was one of the most flu
ent campaign orators Missouri ever
had, is u. S. district Judge, and once
Republican candidate for governor.
Thus one by one the great men of
that once great party are deserting
like rats from a sinking ship and

Progressive parties.

A PRACTICAL
ADMINISTRATION

Few people of the nation are
aware that under the present Dem
ocratic national administration. all
banks receiving government deposits,
are required to pay go interest.
Heretofore under Republican rule,
banks We're allowed to receive and
handle government money without
interest. Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo in his annual report ending
June 80, 1914, reports $1,000, 900 rev.
enue was derived from this source
alone.
The secretary of the navy also
forced the armor plate trust to SUBJ
nit to competitive bids, as well as
the(manufacturer Of projectiles, that
resulted in a saving of over 50, ,0OO,-
900.
The present congress has made the
largest appropriations of money for
educational purposes known in the
history of the nation, to be spent in
rural education. They have restored
more than 100000 acres previously
with hdrawn, to homestead entry, and
have granted 800 acres of land to the
homesteader, instead of 100 acres as
heretofore. They have also raised
the pension of the old soldier, who
fought and bled to preserve this
great republic, tfat his few remain
ing years may be passed beyond the
possibility of want. They have also
safeguarded the Indian, that he may
not be deprived of his lands by oil
or other corporations procuring val
liable leases for a song. All these
reforms have been made since the
democratic party has assumed COM
plete control of government affairs.

Law and order appears to be that
nameless something which the coal
companies would have enforced
against the common people, but
which they evade at every turn. For
example, these companies paid the
state Of Colorado in taxes only $12,-
36S.67 on the full cash valuation for
1913. At the same time, or the same
year, there was lost from the tax
rolls 10000 acres of producing coal
lands from the acreage shown In
1912. Now as proof that this 10000
acres Of producing coal land did not
drop back into the non-producing
class there was also shown 80 900
acres less non-producing coal land in
1913 than in 1912. Now what became
OF all this coal land? Routt county
Is exploited as one OF the greatest
coal counties of the state, yet but
600 acres of producing coal land was
certified to the state and on this
the companies paid the state the
munificient sum of S46 in taxes for
the year 1913 on a full cash valua-
tion. 1t is for this sort of 'law and
order" that a long-suffering public
is compelled to pay heavy military
debt in the form of taxes. on top OF
an exorbitant price for coal. to say
nothing of furnishing sons as targets
for bullets of foreigners imported by
the coal companies to satiate their
greed for gold.

POULTRY BREEDING.
An Oregon Hen Lays Three Hundre
Eggs Within a Year.

An Oregon Hen Lays Three Hundred
Eggs Within a Year.
The 300 egg hen has arrived! 1t
least Oregon claims to have her, says
the Country Gentleman. This appears
to be the worlds record for fowls.
The Oregon champion deserves the
ribbon for America, and her record Is
all the more convincing since she was
one of a pen in which another hen laid
POI eggs. The best five hens of the
flock are said to have exceeded $50
eggs each. while the entire flock of
forty hens averaged more than 210
eggs each year.
While it is true that high records,
achieved by special breeding and feed
ing, may have little significance to
the commercial poultryman, they do
give more grounds for the hope that
the commercial hen with the ability
of producing 200 eggs or thereabouts
each year may some time not be rare.
OF course the 200 egg hen is no more
the commercial standard today than
Is the cow that can produce 1000
pounds of butter in year, but no one
will deny that the 1000 pound cow
has had lot to do with the formation
of herds that average 700 pounds
year. Likewise, with the 300 egg hen
