Country town merchants are be.
siegng congress this week for "prG-
tective" legislation to save them from
competition of the mail order houses
and "chain" stores. The advice of
Governor Hodges of Kansas to the
small town merchants-and he himself
is one of them-is more helpful than
any relief congress could reasonably
give. He contends that il the small
town merchants will devote as large
percentage of their income to intelli-
gent advertising as the mail order
houses do they will not need to fear
such competition.-Kansas City Star.
Editor Dickson Of the GlenwOod
Springs Post avails himself of every
possible opportunity to throw cod wa
ter on the Progressive movement in
this county, but Dick, it will take more
than cold water to stop the Progress
sive votes rolling into the polls on
election day. In the ment oning of the
fact that Editor Tomlin visited the
county capital last week, the Post con
cluded that the object was to "feei
out" the Glenwood people on political
matters relative to the Progressive
movement, and added that he found lit
tie encouragement. Well! perhaps, but
it is a sad circumstance when town
is SO blessed(!) with standpatters that
progress is impOssible.-Rifle Reveille.
Aspen has many boys, some are good
and, it is to be regretted, Aspen has
some bad boys. When the word chad
is used, it does not mean criminal muir
derers, but simply bad boys who de-
light in running things. For instance,
there are several unoccupied residences
out on the mesa with hardly whole
pane Of glass in them. This is due to
the fact that these boys take unlimited
pleasure in throwing rocks and snow.

the musical sound of tinkling glass
The Officers are on to you, laddies, AMI
you are being watched. The next time
you are caught throwing missiles
through windows of empty houses you
are due to spend night or two in the
city Jail. That won t be nice for yon,
boys, and you won't have mother to
tuck you in your little bed.-Aspen

Ripley & Leslie, the Pueblo firm
which was awarded the contract for
road building both east and west of
Rifle, have a portion of all of their
grading outfit and force Of men on the
ground, bringing their teams and labor

It was first proposed to start work on
both pieces Of road at the same time,
but in view of the fact that it is dryer
down the valley and in building the
new road it will be necessary to close
the old road to travel for time, it was
decided to complete this section in the
shortest possible time. Gangs are at
work at both ends, and later it will be
necessary to dispose of the dirt and
rock removed by using the old road
for a dumping place, hence the closing
of the same to travel. East of town
the building of the new highway will
in no way interfere with travel up and
down the valley.-Rifle Telegram.
A short time ago Frank Watt and
w. II. Stonehouse Of Oak Greek made a
personal appeal to Governor Ammons
to allow them to open their saloons,
but of course the governor could do
nothing for them. The miners who are
at work live near the company's mines
and do not come down town much for
fear of getting into trouble. This hurts
the town in business way. The Oak
Creek items in the Yampa Leader show
