Federal Leaguers Said To
Be After Atlantic Teams

According to reports from some OF tine
towns in the Atlantic League. negotia-
tions are under way and nearly COM
pleted for the purchase of that league
as a farm for the Federal League The
story is that the Federal League has
made an offer for the whole league. in
tending to make II pnInor OUTLAW
league. in which Young players may be
developed for their circuit. as they ar.
in the minor leagues in organized base
ball and also for the cast-Offs from
the big circuit. The Federal League
practically promised all the players who
signed with them not to release then
without any place to- go If thev were
found wanting. As ri result. all the
teams in the Federal circuit are carr
ing more players than they need with
consequent drain upon their treasury
George s. Ward. vice president of tn
Brooklyn Federals. said last night that
hr had heard of no such contemplated
purchase. although he admitted that
there had been talk of the FeG-raIs
buying q minor league as farm. club
owners of the Atlantic League refuse
10 discuss the report.

Miss Eva Baker is today in posses

Miss Elizabeth Ryan, in the challenge
round OF the Middle atlantic tuurna-
ment. which was competed yesterdaJ on
the courts OF the Columbia Country

she won by 6-3, 4-6. and 6-3.
Both women exhibited a high article

second set. indications were that Miss
Baker could not go through the re-

the final figures snow the margin by

REPEAL MINING LAW

Colorado and the mining counties
are cursed with two of the greatest
drawbacks allotted to the detrim ent
of its main industry. One is the law
passed by our last legislature placing
double tax on our mines output,
making 1t almost impossible to mine
at profit, and the other is the high
price the owner places upon his idle
mining property whenever a party is
found who is willing to develop that
which they have not faith enough to
attack themselves. The law of taxa
tion as it now stands is destructive
to mining and should be repealed,
and law substituted to tax a mine
according to value placed upon it at
the time 1t is bonded for sale. or
price set by the owner. This would
act to the benefit of the mining in
dustry, as 1t, would compel those who
have accumulated vast amount of
mining titles. that they hold for spec
ulative purposes, to either work them
or pay taxes according to their valua-
tion when offered for sale.
Gilpin observer., 1914-07-23
BLUE BEST DANGER SIGNAL
Claim Made That Even to the Color
Blind II Conveys Definite
Warning.

A colored danger signal. consisting
of blue circle placed within a yellow
rim, is being advocated. Although RED
is now almost universally used as a
danger signal it is far from satisfac
tory for that purpose. since of the
per cent of all men who are defective
in color perception the majority are
unable to distinguish red. Yellow and
blue are the most luminous colors OF
the spectrum. and combination OF
these colors can be seen at a greater
distance in daylight and is more easily
distinguishable in poor light than any
single primary color or any other com
bination of colors. In addition to this
is has been found by experiment that
this combination appears as red OF
green to workmen who are unable tc
distinguish yellow and blue. SO that e
definite danger indication is given il
any case.

japanese Auction.

Americans. accustomed to the bus
tie and excitement of bidding which
prevails in the auction rooms of this
country, are always surprised at the
strange contrast thereto afforded by
the Japanese auction rooms.
In many parts of Japan an odd
little booth serves as such room.
The auctioneer holds aloft. the object
offered for sale in order that all may
see it. To the stranger it appears
that the object is not desired by any
body, although all seem to examine
1t closely. Not word is said by any
prospective customer, but a number
Of them march on to little box In
the corner. wherein they deposit Ger
tain little slips.
If ones curiosity be aroused by this
procedure. Japanese will explain the
method OF conducting the sale. The
bits of paper represent the bids. and
when all have been deposited the
box is opened and the highest amount
offered buys the article. These noise
less auctions are much patronized by
the Japanese.

AMEND OUR LAWS

Colorado in the past few years has
intended for good and beneficial re-
suits, but like many of our laws, are
found to be faulty when put to the
test, and safeguards in the way of
about them to insure their proper
workings. The initiative and refer
endum is one of those laws that was
intended for the benefit of the peo-
pie, but it is found to be faulty and
amendments should be added where
by it will not work hardship on the
taxpayer, by mourning needless ex-
pelse and keeping business in a con-
tinual unrest. These laws should be
SO amended that when once brought
before the voter of the state and de-
feated, a period of years should
elapse before they can again be SUBJ
mitted to the people.
Two years ago the question of pro-
hibition was submitted to the peo-
pie at great expense and defeated by
over $4,000 majority, and this fall
1t is again presented fer considera ton.
Unless these laws are surrounded by
safeguards to protect the peoples
rights, in what condition will it place
the real estate of Colorado, that has
to bear the burden of this needless
expense. We believe laws vital to the
people should be submitted to the
people for their approval or disap-
proval, but there should he a limit
fixed whereby they cannot be resub-
mitted until after a term of years,
thereby preventing the constant dis
ruption of business.
Gilpin observer., 1914-07-23

1t is apparent that an undercurrent
is now at work in the Democratic
ranks to defeat Senator C. S. Thomas
for denomination. When Senator
Thomas two years ago was canvass
ing the state for that high office, he
repeatedly declared in his public ut
terances, that If elected, his voice
would be raised in that august ma
tional body, in defense of the toiling
masses, as against that giant octopus
styled the sugar trust, also the wool
trust. By the sufferance of free
although over-burdened people, who
wished to be relieved from a bondage
thrust upon them by former admin
strations, he was triumphantly elect
ed and has surpassed in the senate
the glories he attained in the state,
by being true and loyal to his people.
He has remained ever steadfast to
the national administration in the
of the nation must bear their just
proportion of the nations expense,
and the thinking mind of Colorado's
native sons and daughters, as well
as those who had the hardihood to
traverse hundreds of miles of barren
and trackless waste, to found an en-
pire in these treasured mountains,
will see to it that he is-returned to
support the strong arm of the work
ingmans friend. Debauchery and chi
canery will avail not, as the destiny
of great nation hangs in the bal
ance, and the loyalty of free peo-
pie will rally to his standard

GO AND DO LIKEWISE

We're every nine owner in Gilpin
county to adopt the plan followed by
John C. jenkins, and place the price
of their mining property at reason
able figures, there would be some in
ducement for capital to enter our
county and exploit our mines, to the
profit of not only the county, but to
those who assume tie risk. TIE re-
cent sale Of the Keystone group of
mines owned by Mr.. Jenkins is a
striking example. He placed this
group in the hands of the promoter
at reasonable figure with the re-
suit that a purchaser was readily
found, and the sale consummated.
Were other mine owners to follow
the example set by Mr.. jenkins Gil
pin county would soon be busy hive
of industry. from the output of her
reliable mines. A word to the wise
Is sufficient.
