L. E. CaSSatt RetireS
from Printing Business

After hav ng attained the 10Th
year of his life L. E, Cassatt is
taking a well-earned rest from
the arduos duties of conducting
job printing business. While the
sale OF Mr.. Cassatts shop was cou.
summated two weeks ago, he re-
tanned possession until this week
in order to complete tie work in
hand.
There are not many small
printing Offices as we'll equipped
for turning out good WORK as was
Mr.. Cassatt's, especially in the
country, and but few printers who
understand the use and care of
good equipment as did Mr..
,Cassatt. 1t was his policy to have
place for every thing and to keep
everything in its place. In this
way he made the work a pleasure
and now that he has retired his
many friends predict that ne will
De like the lime honored fish out

Short Term Licenses
TO Be Issued

The city ordinances Of Idaho
Springs provide for the issuance
of liquor licenses for no less term
than six months, but inasmuch as
the state constitutional amend
ment which becomes effective
January 1st provides that no
m ore liquor must be sold within
the state, a resolution has been
adopted by the city council which
amends the existing ordinance and
makes it possible for the city
clerk to issue licenses which will
expire simultaneously with the
advent of prohibition.
City Attorney J. w. B. Smith
prepared the resolution and it was
unanimously adopted at Tuesday
evenings meeting of the city
council.

room adjoining the First National
Bank.
The consolidation of both the
Slftings plant aud that of l.. l..
Cassatt, job printer, makes larger
quarters necessary. The new
building is 2lx6o feet in size and
will permit of ad dvanr. geous ar
rangenent of the equipment so
that work can be executed with
dispatch. Considerable new ma
terial and machinery will be added
to make the oiltings plant one of
the best outside the large cities.
The butcher shop equipment
now in the building has been sold
to D. J. Donnelly and will be re-
moved at once. A new floor will
be laid and the entire interior
made over, making practically
new room.

Steam Heat TO Cost
More IiPlant Operates

With the advent of cool weather
considerable interest is manifest
in the steam heating proposition.
The company is in the hands of a
receiver and has no funds with
which to operate. The gross reve-
nue,from steam supplied last winter
aggregated only $500 and at times
it was extremely difficult to get
the necessary coal to keep the
plant in operation.
Before the receiver can start the
system this year it will be neces-
sarv to secure permission from the
court and this cannot be done un-
=. less it can be shown that sutficl-
eut revenue can be derived. A
Thousand dollars will be needed
for urgent repairs and another two
thousand for coal to start the
operation. In addition to this
$1,000 which must be Forthcoming
at once. $1,000 more must be as
sured for the season. In other
words the receiver must be assured
of $1,000 income in place OF S4SoO
received last year, and unless the
patrons of the system are wiling
to suhmit TO an average advance OF
fifty percent in rates and pay
third or more in advance there
will be no steam heat furnished.
At a meeting Of consumers held
Wednesday evening in the city
hall the condition Of affairs was
stated by Attorney John Sleeper
of Denver, representing the re-
ceiver, and Guy G. Stumm OF this
city. Mayor George =. McClell-
and presided at the meeting and
Rens E. Schirmer acted as secre-
tary. A committee composed OF
Messrs. Shaffer, Machol, Stover,
johnson and Hanson was appoint
ed to canvas the entire list OF con-
sinners and ascertain whether they
are willing to submit to the pro-
posed advance in rates and whether
they will advance the necessary
$1,000 to finance the operation OF
the plant.

Ornamental Lights TO
Remain this Month
i'll

AS the expense of continuing
the ornamental lights on Miner
street during the month of Sep
tember will entail an expense Of
only $500 the city council Tues
day evening voted to continue the
service.
The lights have done much to
beautify the business section Of
the city and have brought forth
many expressions of delight from
visitors this summer and have had
a tendency to make the home peo-
pie more proud Of their town
which in itself is of no small val
ue.
The system was installed for the
convention Of Red Men which met
here early in the summer and
proved so attractive it was deemed
advisable to retain the lights dur
idg the remainder of the tourist
season. TO do without them
now would seem quite like return
ing to kerosene lamps.
Henry j Walders, owner and
operator of the Clara mine at
Alice was in town last Saturday.
Mr.. Walder has one of the best it
not the very best mines in the dis
trict. For the past year he has
been developing the property i'll
his usual quiet way and has taken
out good quantity of ore that
gave very satisfactory returns.
The ore is mostly gold, although
carrying a very tair value in silver
and copper. During the past, all
of the output has been treated at
the stamp mill of the Reynolds
Br os., which is located near the
por tai of the tunnel but in the flu
ture the solid ore will be sorted
out and shipped to the smelter and
the mill kept busy on the mill dirt.
Mr.. Wa1ders we'll deserves the re-
ward which he is sure to gam by
his energ, and perseverance.

Disorderly House to
Be Kept Quiet

Nights of revelry, debauchery
and song emanating from the no.
torious house in Virginia canon
are to be brought to close as the
result of numerous complaints
registered by the respectable peo-
pie Of that locality During the
past few weeks complaints have
been particularly urgent, says
Mayor George +. McClelland and
something viii have to be done.
The house is located just out
side the city corporation line and
the freedom from local prosecution
allowed the inmates in the past
has given them a feeling OF safety
that is akin to boldness.
At Tuesday nights meeting of
the city council Mayor McClelland
presented the situation to the al
dermen and asked what might be
done to alleviate the nuisance. 1t
was suggested that the matter be
referred to the COMMITTEE on
| Indoor Sports and this lot seemed
to fall to Alderman Erickson but
the gentleman from the third
ward declined to serve. having al
ready enough other troubles of his
own and claiming to possess no
real solution of the problem.
City Attorney j. w. B. Smith
informed the council that in his
opinion it is the duty Of the dis
trict attorney to suppress the evil
and that if complaints are made to
the district attorney he will surely
do his duty. The city marshall
will be requested to have the com
planning neighbors register their
complaints with the district at
torney and see what can be done.
