POST MASTER APPOINT
MENT THE GREAT ISSUE

field. Now it is a question of
votes.
The contest is worthy of note
from the prominence of those in
terested, among the number being
J. Wilkins Cooch, T. F. Armstrong,
Nathan Motheral, Eben Frazer, c.
B. Evans, D. c. Rose, George Fer
guson, S. M. Donnell, S. B. Herd
man, and a host of others.
To date this is the result of our
observation. If both Newark cand-
idates remain in the contest Nc
Mullin stands show to win. With
either withdrawing and making a
combination, they will make it in
teresting for the Pencader candi-
date.
Bowen is gaining votes every
day. The reasons for this are his
past political history, his long res
idence, his wide acquaintance and
personality and Hossinger's with
drawal. His support in the East
ern district cannot be learned de-
fnitely. Rumors this morning
have pledges of support there.
Fisher is strong in East Newark.
If he holds control, he will round
up votes in that district. In some
of the rural districts he is strong.
The results attending the cleo
ton make interesting speculations
for the political observers. With
McMullin winning who will be the
recognized leader of the party ?
Think a moment. With Fisher
With Bowen? None of these mer
to be sure, but who? The answers
to these questions, probably more
than any other factor, will figure
in the result of Saturdays contest
Another question-Saulsbury, see
ing his mistake, is he taking par
in the campaign? Take the til
from the Post, he is. And as sucl
he is proving to be the creates
power for continued success of tn
Republican party known in thes
hill regions for many day.

Where are the old War Horses
of White Clay Democracy?
To inject denominations into the
fight is poor religion, bad politics,
and a pretty narrow method OF
contest. Newark is too big for
that sort of thing.
There are more Democrats just
now in White Clay Creek Hundred
than have been seen for several
wears. And more than will be
seen for some time to come-or we
miss our guess.
We get it from the inside. The
Senator at the Conference said, 81
suppose all of you always voted
straight Democratic ticket" Some
said yes, some nodded, some looked
out the window.
What did Mr.. Fisher say? 1t is
not reported but here's version
Senator, l split my vote once
but soon got it sewed up. You re-
member when | voted for Senator

now. | changed the vote al

dent the latter part of last week She
was passing through screen door with
dripping pan in her hands when the
door came shut 10 such a manner as to
strike the pan and forcing the corner
to strike her in her side. She suffered
so much pain that Doctor Jackson was
called and he at first thought that the
injury might terminate into a case of
appendicitis, on Friday be took her to
the Bronson hospital, Kalamazoo, and
an operation was performed at once and
it was discovered that the blow had
been hard enough as to rupture the
liver. Mrs Adams is in very critical
condition and there is but little hopes Of
her recovery.

Over the Gem

Idaho Springs youngest moving pic

tire was sold to Arthur Luckhaus, who
found it to be an Improbable venture
to carry through the winter, the ex-
pense Of conducting the place on high
plane being more than the income
would warrant.
1t is the plan of the Opera House

three nights each week during the win

will be OF ened nightly during the sum-

WORK RESUMED ON THE
BIG McCLELLANDT TUNNEL
Finances Are Arranged for Completing the Big
Project Which Means So Much to Idaho
Springs and Clear Greek County

"All things come to him who
waits s-provided he gets out and
hustles, and never gives up until
success is attained George E.
McClelland, mayor of Idaho
Springs, is that kind of man,
and it now appears that he will
succeed in completing the driving
of the McClelland tunnel and tap
the richest mineral belt in Clear
Greek county. When Mayor Nc
Clelland returned Tuesday from
the East the word was quickly
passed about that the McClelland
tunnel would at once be placed in
commission and driven to its OBJ
iective point. The good news
caused a more optimistic feeling
to pervade the atmosphere than
has been prevalent for some time.
This tunnel proposition is re-
garded by all who are familiar
with the country as one of the
very best in the county or the
state of Colorado, and both
practical miners and theoretical
engineers seem to agree on this
point.
The project was conceived by
Mr.. McClelland, who organized
the first company and commenced
operations, driving the tunnel
through the hardest granite dist
tance of 7149 feet, when the panic
of 1907 made it necessary to sus-
pend operations and the further
financing of the big project has
been impossible until the present
time.
In September, 1913, a re-organ-
ization of the old company was
effected and the United Freeland
Development and Transportation
company owns and controls the
property. The necessary funds
have now been provided for doing
1894 feet of work, including an up
raise. of 1867 feet Several car
loads of coal and carload of pow
der have already been ordered and
wyrk will begin at once.
The tunnel is projected to tar
the famous Freeland mine with a
a record of 100000 production
and will intersect the Toledo
which has produced O,OOO at
less than 200 feet depth. 1t will
also intersect the Turner which
has produced nearly 100000 and
is only 300 feet deep. The Falu
Anchor. Gum Tree and several
other well known producers on the
line of the tunnel are as yet but
little better than prospects,, but
with the construction of the tun-
mel their development can be
completed.
The portal of the tunnel is only
300 feet from the tracks Of the G
