Meat Served
114Fanilies

The meat business of tho Observer
has grown to such enormous proper
TOMS, it is no longer a matter of
just common talk, but a community
sensation. This morning we ran over
the list of names of those to whom
we had supplied meats in the past
two or three weeks and were sur
prised ourselves to learn that UP to
Wednesday evening of this week we
had sold quantities of meat to just
an even ia families in the county
New names will be added for Satur-
day evening and it would not exec ed
our expectations if the list reached
15O by the end of the week. And, the
pleasing part of it is that those who
became custOme ers at the beginning
of the price-cutting crusade have not
only renewed their orders but have
prevailed upon their friends to buy
their meats of dealer who is sat
isfied with a reasonable profit and
will not rob his patrons. This is a
credit to the unselfish nature OF the
people in Gilpin county, who not only
want to enjoy the happiness of be-
ing able to live themselves, but want
others to live and enjoy life.
In the selling of meats we have
so far outdistanced all competition, it
would seem a waste Of time to devote
any attention to our competitors, but
as they are loud-mouthed and given
to talk, denunciatory of not alone our.
selves, but of those who are wise
enough to patronize US, more partic-
ularly in defense of our friends, we
raise our voice in explanation.
The charge is made that the meats
we are selling are of an inferior
grade, that the pork is slop-fed, that
the beef is fed on mountain sage and
poison ivy, and the mutton subsists
on rags and shavings. We can't re-
call just what complaint they have to
offer about the veal, but presume
they claim this is fed simply on
sweetened wind. They say that if
our meats were as good as theirs, we
could not possibly sell them for less
money than they receive. 1t reminds
us Of the explanation they have been
giving to patrons who compared their
prices with those of the Denver
butchers. They would say, why, if
You saw that Denver meat, you
wouldn't eat it," and then go on tell
ing what decayed stuff it. was. OF
course we know that the meat-eaters
of Gilpin county are very fastidious
in their tastes. but surely in the
25O,O00 people in Denver, there must
be some who are particular about
their meats and not all would be sat
isfied with "decayed" pork, beef or
mutton.
Now, to get right down to the meat
in the cocoanut. The fault does not

happened to be in charge Of its affairs
when our diplomatic relations with his
country were severed. 1t points to the
fact that Austria Hungary has not the

caused the estrangement between the two
countrfes-the death which Mexico

rooted animosity back OF it led to the
conviction that friendly ARRANGEMENTS
between official representatives of the
two countries would never be possible
