GRATEFUL PATIENTS
TRIBUTE TO DR.. SCARBOROUGH

Dear Editor: If you have space
IN your paper will YOU please pub
llsh these lines of praise of Dr.. ].
q. Scarborough among your many
readers; by so doing you may aid
suffering humanity:
DR.. Scarborough is a finished
chiropractor, graduating from the
Universal Chiropractic College at
Davenport, Iowa, recognized gener-
ally as the best college of the
kind in the world. Long before he
graduated he became SO proficient
in his work that many of tho worst
cases were given to him for adj
Justment, Great praise was accord
ed him throughout his commence
ment period, and we have lost to
our community what Lakeland has
gained, a sincere man of his pro-
fession. Dear people, | write this
to your paper on account OF what
he did for me, sufferer OF DIA-
BETES, but am now able to carry
on my work with no inconvenience
whatever. My daughter and mother
were successfully treated for stom-
ach trouble, of which they were
long sufferers. We feel it our duty
to do good to all We can and we as
sure the public who read these lines
that they are not one-half the ap-
probation we have for Dr. Scarbor-
ough, would be glad to answer
any questions from any ono inter-
ested,

TO SUPPRESS FIRES

Announcement is made today that
plans are already well under way,
throughout the entire national for
est region, to tackle the forest fire
situation with the advent of spring
now at hand. In its campaign OF
fire protection the government is
seeking the earnest cooperation of
every resident and traveller on the
forests. Since it is estimated that
the annual loss from fires is approx
mately s5O,000,000, ninety per cent
of which is considered due to care
lessness with fire in the forests, and
therefore preventable, the forest ser
vice proposes to leave no steps un-
turned this year to present the facts
before the public.
Campers and pleasure seekers on
their travels through the forests will
be confronted everywhere with signs
and placards calling attention to the
danger threatening human lives and
public property through carelessness
in their use of camp fires, lighted
cigars, and cigarettes, while thous-
ands of cards will again be distribut-
ed containing valuable information
concerning the game laws, together
with suggestions relative to the pre-
vention and determination of forest
fires. This plan of campaign was
tried out last year with results suf-
ficiently encouraging, it is said, to
warrant it's continuance this year on
a larger scale.

PRIMARY ELECTION
WAS A HUMD|kGER

The first primary city election con-
Quoted under the new primary law,
was held at Central City Tuesday,
and under its workings proved to be
very expensive, as well as uninter-
esting. The four wards of the city
cast a total vote of 80, forty-two
Democrats and thirty-eight Republi-
cans. The expense account shows
that each vote cost the city three
dollars. The following is the list of
votes by wards:
First ward-19 Democrats, and 10
Republicans, total 30.
Second ward-7 Democrats, and 5
Republicans, total 12.
Third ward-13 Democrats, and 13
Republicans, total 26.
Fourth ward-3 Democrats and 10
Republicans, total 13.
The following list of nominations
for city office were elected at the
primaries to be voted for April 7th,
1914:
Democratic Neil Mckay, mayor;
John Slattery and Herman Lundberg,
aldermen 1st ward; Oscar Williams,
alderman End ward; Geo. L. Hamllik,
alderman Sd ward; w. s. Smith and
James E. Cody. aldermen 4th ward.
Republican-Robt. Wilkinson, may

LECTURES ON RADIUM

Commissioner of Mines, T. r. Hen
ahen, will deliver a short lecture on
radium at the opera house next Sat
urday night, Immediately after the
moving picture show. All those in
terested In radium should attend and
listen to the lecture.
Mr.. Henahen's remarks will treat
upon the carnotite ores of the Para
dox valley, and will be followed by
a description of the pitchblende ores
Of Glpin county. by Mrs. E. thinner
man, known to many as Nine. Curie
the second. When Nine. Curie first
made the discovery of radium. Mrs.
Zimmerman became interested in the
element, and left her sunny south
ern home for the rock-ribbed and
barren hills of Gilpin county, to study
more closely this element in its
primitive form. She became a close
student upon the subject Of chemis-
try and devoted much time to labor
atory work. She is regular pros
pector and can detect radium quartz
at a glance, and now has a group of
uranium claims bonded that shows
fair values at the surface. She has
given much thought to the subject
and no doubt her lecture will be very
interesting.

A LADY READER COMPLAINS

A lady reader of the Observer, and
evidently a taxpayer, residing in New.
adaVlile, writes us in regard to taxes.
Like many of those who think them
selves aggrieved, she has not taken
the time to acquaint herself with
| facts, or she would at once see where
she has really nothing to complain
about. Her principal criticism is the
ialfure of the county commissioners
to make any repairs on the Nevada
vile roads. Should she but stop and
consider for a moment that until the
levy for 1913 taxes was made, neith-
er the Incorporated town of Nevada
Vile nor the two cities of the county
ever paid cent tax for road pur-
poses. Hence they could not expect
the commissioners to repair their
roads. This year the towns and citi-
les OF the county are paying a road
tax and will receive their proper
share of the road funds.
Our lady reader also states that
the road between Nevadaville and
Russell has not been kept open this
winter. This road was opened once
and Commissioner Stevens informed
the Observer man some weeks ago
when the citizens of Nevadaville
wanted the road shoveled of the
snow, the county had agreed to SHOW
Ell out the county portion of the road,
provided the citizens of Nevadaville
would open the portion of the road
wathin the town limits. The county
could not be expected to expend
FUNDS on the Nevadaville road, when
that community was not paying a
road tax.
Our correspondent, it would appear,
feels generally dissatisfied with the
system of taxation and thinks the
mine tax is too high and asks: IF
mining property is so valuable why
are not the mines all working?" In
answer to this, We will say that if
there is any one thing that should
enable parties to get in possession
of lot of idle mines and work them,
1t Is high taxes. The regret should
be not so much that the taxes on
mines have been raised, but that they
have not been raised more. Put the
taxes so high on mines that men of
wealth, who have bought up all the
available mineral land for specula-
tive purposes cannot continue them
In idleness while asking a fabulous
sum for the properties.
The taxes on a mine cannot be
considered unreasonable. With a val
uation Of $400 on each claim, plus
the Is per cent raise made by the
tax commission, the tax is around
$1,000. Our lady correspondent must
surely agree with us when we say
that if a gold mine is not worth a
$1,000 a year tax, it can't be consid-
cred a very valuable gold CD mine.
The owner of two or three claims
Will not Tor should mott object to his
taxes It's the man who is holding
extensive mineral hand for fancy pric-
es who will complain about the taxes,
and he is just the man who should
pay the heavy tax.

SCIENTIST FINDS COLD LIGHT
AS AN AID TO RADIUM

The production of a "cold light
has been practically solved by a Ger
man scientist, DR.. Willy Wolff, who
is temporarily in this city conduct.
Ing some laboratory work for firm
In West Forty-first street. AS the
light is a product of radioactive ele.
ments,Dr. Wolff could not say wheth.
er 1t would eventually prove to be
commercially successful or not.
He said he had to make further in
vestigation for the purpose of find
ing the most suitable form of utiliz-
ing the light-giving substance for
commercial purposes. At present 1t
is composed of pasty matter which
he spreads over a piece of cardboard.
From this sufficient light emanates
to make the reading of a newspaper
an easy task, the light being about
three times stronger than an equal
quantity of PHOSPHORUS.
DR.. Wolff spread a portion of the
pasty matter over his hand and then
held 1t about couple of feet away
from a newspaper which was read
with perfect ease. A dim, shadowy
outline of the bones in his hand was
produced by the matter.
The radioactive substance was
brought over by DR.. Wolff from his
laboratory in Johanisthal, Germany,
where large quantity of the world s
radium supply is found, for the pur-
pose of continuing his investigations
while in the CITY,
The substance he uses gives out
alpha and beta rays, and he said that
when these rays come in contact
with the gamma rays of radium, they
become visible. This he said would
be invaluable for surgical cases, as
it would enable a surgeon to locate
the sphere of influence exerted by
the radium he was using on a patti
ent.-New' York American.

RIGHT KIND OF A CROUCH

John b. Black, of Montrose, is
man with a crouch, all right; but
what he says about radium and con-
servation hits the nail square on the
head, says the Cripple Creek Times.
1t, is unquestionably true that the Blu
reau of Mines, operated by and in
the interest of the coal barons of
Pennsylvania, is back OF this radium
plan to grab everything in sight, un-
der the preteXt of conserving some
thing which doesn't exist. That out
fit would conserve" Cripple Creek
and Leadville If they could and 1t is
a matter of regret to them that more
than 81 900 900 900 in actual gold and
silver has been extracted before this
conserving scheme was sprung on
a confiding public.

ed 4.64S.S90 acres forest withdrawn

forest was withdrawn in California in
1912 and the same story in other

vations.

to see 1t taken by confiscation and
deceit.
