MARTIN FOR GOVERNOR

1t is amusing to read in the Re-
publican and Progressive papers of
the mention of the names of ex-Sena-
tor Patterson, Roady Kenehan, Tom
lyman, Judge Musser, and a score of
others for the nomination of COVER
nor on the Democratic ticket this
fall.
We highly commend them for their
zeal and wisdom in selecting so much
talent. And we also commend them
for their adroitness and nerve in try
ing to mislead the public from the
candidate who will be nominated and
elected, viz, John A. Martin. of Pueb
10. Mr.. Martin is not seeking the
U. S. senatorial toga this fall, as
they would have you to believe.
Senator Thomas, by his clean and
straightforward work in the senate,
has placed the safety grip on that Of
flee, and those papers that are so
ready to give friendly advice regard
ing the shaping of the Democratic
ticket this fall will have to resort
to some other method to fool the
people. John A. Martin will run for
governor this fall and Furthermore
will be elected, he cannot be side
tracked by the enemy indulging in
glittering generalities regarding the
fitness of other candidates. Mr.. Mar.
tin is in keeping with the scriptures,
wherein it says, "He that hath COM
mand over his own thoughts, is more

oblique rays of the sun, or see the
short waves incident to the finny
tribe playing in it's crystal depths
The sun shining on the distant snow
capped peaks reflects upon its green
waters, radiating those undefinable
colors which constitute it's irresist-
ible charm, and impresses man with
reverence and awe.
Another picture of the same scene
after the dying day had cast its lin
gering shadows over hill and dale,
and the moon spreading its silvery
sheen over the calm waters of this
mountain mirror reflected the tower
ing genius of this poetical colorist.
Deep into the heart of nature he
delved, and depicted with incompar-
able skill the marvels of the AL
mighty's fashioning.
His abode, though crude and home
ly on the exterior, possessed GER
| tain charm and suggested the refine
ment and aestheticism of its illustri-
Gus occupant. The interior, in wide
contrast to it's rustic exterior was
a veritable treasure-vault of artistic
gems, and the blending of beauteous
colorings in silent array on wall and
easel, transported one into realms
of ecstasy and abandonment of all
earthly things.
Into this uncouth structure came
the choice flowers of the flock OF
debutantes in the art of painting, ant
with consummate skill he guided theil
fingers along the tedious and thorn
strewn paths to fame; but not one
of his numerous pupils could hope
to arrive at, the pinnacle of excel
lence to which their talented mas,
ter attained.
His classics found their way into
the marble palaces of our eastern
homes, and many of the walls of their
luxurious drawing rooms were adorn-
ed with his skillful and exquisite han
diwork
Out of the dim mists of the past
this mans genius rises like an aure-
ole through the Stygian darkness of
night, and SO long as art exists, so
long will his eloquent stories in col
ors endure.
This man of foreign birth, this man
whom the Almighty had created as a
man of destiny, this man whose mag
nificent blending of colors not only
startled the lovers of art in foreign
lands, but the art critics of our own
nation, was permitted to live and die
among us, and his ashes are now at
rest beneath the verdant sod in that
beautiful mountain valley he loved
SO well, there to remain until the
last setting sun shall cast its mel
low rays on the unshaken dome of
Colorado's loftiest peak, that stands
as sentinel to guard this hallowed
spot.

MAKE OUR CITY ONE OF ART

beautifying their respective munich

or whose aesthetic taste is the peer
of Oscar Wilde in his most palmy
days. AS his cabinet, who share in
the councils of our municipal govern
ment are young and inexperienced,
it is his bounden duty to instruct
them in the ways of public art.
Since Uncle Sam has forsaken the
G. o. P. and become a progressive
Democrat, lie is more liberal than
ever with his disbursement of free
seeds and our worthy and esteemed
mayor should communicate with Con-
gressman Keating and secure sup
ply that will enable every citizen to
have fine flower and vegetable gar

The b. P. o. Elks will hold their
national annual reunion in Denver in
July, that will draw nearly 100000
visitors to the state, and many OF

founded and peopled this mighty wes-
tern empire, and every citizen should
adorn their yards with a bed. of

COLORADO is ALL RIGHT.

We who live in Colorado know, that
the great majority of her people are
loyal to our state laws as we'll as
the sovereign power, and we are not
disturbed so much over the situation
in the southern coal fields as we are
over the tales of despotism and an
archy that are being heralded by an
irresponsible daily press to the dwell
ers of the far east whose papers are
daily cartooning US as worse than
Mexican savages. These unscrupu-
lOus publishers whose copies we are
sorry to say find their way into the
homes of many in the far east have
SO prejudiced the minds of the peo-
pie against our state that we can
not expect dollar for investment
in any Colorado enterprise for years
people of Colorado are as law abid-
ing and intelligent as will be found
in any state of our union, and our
department and submission to law

ured by irresponsible apostate
editors who would sacrifice the NOR
ais of the people of one of the bright
est gems in our constellation of
states for the paltry sum of few
dollars gained by inflamatory edit
tions, Notwithstanding all the false
and blood-thirsty articles sent out by
this unreliable press, Colorado today
is one of the best places for legiti-
mate investment to be found upon
North American soil. Nine-tenths Of
Colorado's people are law abiding, as
shown by the sentiment that is back
ing up our legislature in passing law
to uphold the dignity of our state
and its people. And the trouble
breeding editors who have no inter
est at stake will soon be compelled
to seek fields and pastures new.

FRED HuET, THE ARTIST

The discovery of gold and silver in
the Rocky mountains in the early
sixties brought to Colorado the ad-
venturer and skilled artisan of not
only our own country, but those of
foreign lands.
Among the latter class was Fred
Huet, the noted artist and caricatur-
list whose ancestral home was among
the vine clad hills of sunny south
ern France, where the fragrance OF
the grape blends with the almond
blossoms.
Here in this delightful and en-
chanted spot, surrounded by stately
elms, whose topmost branches over
look the ancient city of Bordeaux,
was born a lover of nature and ma
ture's works, and whose fame will
live in history as one of the great
masters that in all ages have left
their imprint upon canvas.
Amidst this fragrant atmosphere,
his juvenile days were spent much
like most boys of his age, but there
appeared in his composition the pow
er to portray in colors the beauteous
scenes surrounding his birth place.
This talent grew until his great gen.
ius passed the confines of his envir-
onment, and he came to the Unit
ed States, soon after identifying him
self with Frank Leslie's Pictorial
Magazine, (the foremost journal of
that day. as war artist. He continu-
ed in this capacity until the second
battle of Bull Run, when his fertile
brain conceived for frontispiece, q
wild and ferocious Texas bull with ex.
tended horns and distended nOstrils
dashing into Washington, followed by
a regiment of Confederate soldiers
suit. For this exhibition of ingeni-
Gus originality illustrating the defeat
of the Union army, he received as
his reward, prompt dismissal from
Leslies staff. He then started for
the west, finally arriving in George
town, where the hand of the Omnipo-
tent had fashioned the topography
to his liking. The grandeur of that
spot which he adopted as his future
home, with its precipitous walls
guarding the little hamlet quietly re.
posing in this picturesque recess, be-
tween lofty peaks, lulled to sleep by
the dancing laughing waters of Clear
Creek as it dashes impetuously along
in it's mad flight, each sparkling drop
impatient to mingle it's crystal purity
with the salt of the sea. Onward,
ever onward it goes bounding along,
singing its ceaseless song to the ac
compartment of the softly murmur-
ing branches of the stately pine and
graceful aspen.
The cooling breezes, slightly tenn
pered by the warming rays of the gol
den sun, pregnant with the exquisite
perfume of myriad blossoms, waiting
their fragrance through verdant val
leys and shady dells, finally losing
its identity in the mystic realms of
boundless space.
All this was incense to this mans
aesthetic nature, and his works of
art all breathed of the soft tints the
landscape provided
One of his masterpieces was
painting OF Green Lake, and very lit
tie imagination is required to discern
the gentle ripples dancing under the

necessary to have assays OF the ore
TO prove to the local supply houses
that the grocery and powder bills
would be paid when due.
The assays, which were made from
conservative samples, indicate a net
profit Of s14 per ton after all ex-
