A number of interested citizens
met in the council chamber last
Saturday night in response to re
quest Of Mayor McCIelIand to
meet Associate District Forester
j. G. Stahl of Denver and Forest
Ranger w. b. Kelso OF this city
to consider the question of the wa
ter sheds from which Idaho
Springs draws It's water supply.
The question Of conserving and
protecting the timber on these wa
ter sheds Of our various streams
was thoroughly eanvassed and af-
ter a free discussion of the sub
.iect, it was decided that Mayor
McClelland should communicate
at once with Congressman Keat-
ing requesting that the' lands de-
sired be included and become a
part Of the Pike s National Forest.
Congressman Heating has hereto
fore expressed his desire to ac-
complish what the people here de
sired and has at times so wired
and written the Mayor. Associate
District Forester J. G. Stahl ex-
p.ained carefully the attitude Of
the Forest Service and the action
was taken in accordance with his
suggestions and in this he was also
joined by Forester Kelso In his
talk Mr.. Stahl explained that the
most important part of the work
Of the Firest Service was the pro
lection of the forest cover and the
regulation of stream flow. He also
stated that the duties Of the For
est Service was strictly admins
trative and could not in any de-
gree interfere with legitimate
prospecting and mining nor any
patented property. The proposed
addition embraces total area of
21.76O acres situated in township
4 south, Of ranges 72 and 70 west
Of the sixth principal meridian,
and covers the water shed of Soda
Greek, Devils Canon and Chicago
Creek. The mayor has greatly in
terested himself in this very work,
realizing that it will mean much to
the water system of Idaho Springs
in future years, and will be the
means of adequate protection
without fear of being usurped by
any other community.

Primary Election Failure

voters at the election last Tuesday

each party for their standard
bearer, it did not settle any more
than the regular convention would
have settled. And the same was
the ease Of each office whore there
was a contest Nor did this pri-
mary meet the ends for which it
was apparently created, namely
that party followers would 90 into
the booth and vote the ticket Of
their belief. This fact was eX-
emplified by parties voting the
ticket of their opposite belief in
order to assist local friend and
this was in a measure general
throughout the various counties in
the state. Republicans voted the
Democratic ticket in the interest of
some personal friend either local
or statewide and vice versa. Had
they been able to scratch ticket
and put on that friend on their
own ticket, the vote cast would
have been larger, and yet this
would have defeated the intent of
the plan of having party followers
to vote their own party choice.
Better return to the old system as
it was just as efficient and expedi-
ent and less cost to the counties.

Last Sunday afternoon at the
Idaho Springs Ball Park, the
Idaho team again trimmed the
Arvada boys. This was the first
Of a two game series the second
being played en- Monday, Labor
day, and the same boys met their
Waterloo on Monday as they did
on Sunday. Sundays game was

climbed onto Mr. Nichols and
scored six runs in the first two
innings and our team was never
in danger the rest Of the game,
Williams started on the mound
for Idaho and pitched to the
fifth inning and then retired in
favor OF Milroy who held the
Arvada team down easil y
throughout the game, the final
score being II to 7 in favor OF
our home team. The, home bat
terry consisted of Williams, Mil
roy and Menzimer. The battery
of the visitors was Nichols Pet
tygrew and Lerchen. Monday s
game was the most interesting
game of the season. In the first
inning Arvada grabbed a two
run lead and held it until the
fourth inning when Idaho forged
ahead with a run or two them IN
the seventh with the bases full
cur old standby Watson came
through with a smash to the
right field fence and cleared the
bases. Then on until the ninth
inning our boys felt safe, but in
the first part Of the ninth inning
Arvada scored three runs and tied
the score but in the last half the
Idaho boys got another run on a
hit by Jeuck and then Standby
Watson came through again with
another smash to the left field in
which Jeuck by fat base running
scored the winning run. The score
was to I in favor of Idaho. Walt
ers was the fielding star, grabbing
in a hot liner with his bare hands
and throwing the runner out at
first base. Battery for Idaho, Viii
liams and Menzimer. For Aryada
Owen, Webb and Pettigrew. In
the seventh inning Menzimer had
the misfortune to sprain his ankle
but with the grit that knows no
defeat he kept right ON playing.
He went to the grounds to witness
the second game but the boys got
after him and had him put on his
ball suit and he began catching in
the third inning and endured the
pain throughout the entire game.
This was real baseball grit and the
people appreciated Ducky.
