SUFFRAGE TORCH
DOUSED BY THIEF
Famous Emblem, Which Was to
Light Darkest Jersey, Stolen
-Jinx Blamed.

A dastardly theft has been perpe-
trated in New Jersey. The suffrage
torch. with which the Women Politi-
cal Union proposed to scatter anti
shadows in that state as it had done in
New York, was filched from the speak
ers' automobile after a meeting at At
iantic Highlands on Monday night.
Detectives are searching. but so far no
trace of the criminal has been found.
Miss Alyse Gregory was the Gus
todian of the torch at that meeting.
After adjuring the crowd to vote for
suffrage on Ooceober 10" she waved
the glistening lamp Of the cause before
them and listened deiightedly TO their
cheers. ignoring an impertinent indi-
vidual who addressed her as "Torchy"
and advised her to "douse the glim."
She and her assistants. Miss Elsie
Koop, of Chicago. and Miss Frances
Beck, Of New York, then hid the torch
under q pile of literature in the auto
mobile and drove to suffrage headquar-
ters. at Ocean Park.
Anguished shrieks rent the air when
Miss Gregory looked under the pile Of
literature for the torch. 1t was gone.
The suffrage glim was indeed doused,
as the person at the meeting had ad-
vised.
Miss Gregory, after a hasty consul
tation over the telephone with Mrs.
Nina c. Van Wrinkle. president Of the
Womens Political Union in New Jer-
sey. said they did not wish to accuse
the anti-suffragists of this crime.
Many are inclined to call it the work
Of the ink which has pursued Jersey
suffragists ever since they began cam
paigning for the -utfraEe measure
which is to be submitted to the people
on October 10.
A reward Of $50 is offered for the re-
turn of the torch to Mrs. Van Wrinkle.

lomatic circles in Italy the conviction
to-day prevails that the deadlock in

The Monte Vista journal., 1915-10-23

Mr.. Maxwell, of the Monte Vista
Light Heat and Power Co., has been
canvassing the business men of
Monte Vista this week for funds to
install the new lighting system which
the company is trying to induce the
city to put in. The city council
agreed to furnish half of the expense
if the business men of the city would
furnish the other half 1t is esti-
mated that it will cost about $500
and the business men are asked to
furnish $3.50 of it. Up to the pres
ent Mr.. Maxwell has succeeded in
raising about $3.50 of the $3.50 and
he has only few more to see.
1t is to be hoped that this move
ment will be successful as the streets
of Monte Vista are very poorly
lighted and while the new system
would be used only on First Avenue,
1T would add greatly to the appear
ance of that street after night.

FORTY YEARS PRODUCER

The Homestake Gold Mining and
Milling Company, located at Lead,
has been forty years in commission.
The sum of $1,000, if invested when
the company was organized, would
have earned $290,000 up to date.
The mine has paid $35.000,0OO in
dividends, or 725 per cent yearly.
This mine was located by Denver
carpenter, who was in part helped
out by his fellow carpenter, the late
Thomas F. Walsh, who refused to
purchase a half interest in the group
before Senator Hearst invested
on the advice of an overcareful en-
gineer. The latter did not like the
formation.

And the Called Jade WINGED

Again we say that when you go

the 'dennisons' (spelled 'denizens' in
our dictionary who inhabit that part
of the east end of Rio Grande county
called Monte Vista-which aspires to
be a city, but the dam meanness of
its people prevents-you want to be
prepared to be double crossed, lied
to, flint -hammed and laughed at"
The above is only part of the
brainstorm reproduced in the San
Juan Prospector last week. There
was a whole lot more all in the same
strain. but that was the beginning of
1t.
OF course the Del Norte people
never do any such thing as film
flaming. double crossing or lying 1t
was merely an oversight on the part
of the Fair association when they
failed to make good their word that
the winning base ball team the last
day OF the Fair should receive $50
out OF a 500 purse and sent the
manager OF the base ball team here
check for s45. Or perhaps they ran
short OF funds and could not raise
the other SIS.
We are well aware of the fact that
the Monte Vista High School has an
excellent football team this year, and
in way cannot blame Del Norte for
being offended at not getting to play
the big game of the season with
them Even Del Norte knows a good
team when they see it, or they
wouldn't have changed their minds
about calling of all athletic rela-
tions between the two schools" and
