barber. was last Monday appointed a
member OF the State Board of Barber
Examiners to succeed Phil Strubel, whose
term had expired. The new member
conducts a shop at 1881 Curtis street,
i'll the Tabor Opera House building. and
is an old time barber of Colorado, hav-
ing operated shop in Central City dur
ing the boom mining days twenty-five
years ago. He has been active in local
Republican political circles for some
time. While Governor Carlson was con-
fined to his home by illness few
months ago he had Lichtenheld come out
and perform tonsorial requisites. Nat
urally he fell in line for the state job
when the term OF Democrat expired.
Strubel was appointed on the board by
Governor Shafroth six years ago last
August, when the law first became op-
erative He has made good record
The present members of the board are
Charles Goodfriend, president; Richard
w. Litchenheld, secretary, and John L.
Connolly, the latter representing the
journeymen BARRIERS.
A. F. Browns of Sterling, former
member of the state barber board, who
was delegate to the recent State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor convention, is said to
have investigated the mysteries of a
talcum powder gin fizz while in the city.
Now he admits the thing is possible.

tional Union and local secretary, left
Thursday for headquarters at Indian
apolis to attnd meeting OF the ma

Mdchinists

w. F. Evans, business agent of Den
Yer Lodge No. AZ of the International
Association of Machinists; Jesse Vetter,
orr of the officers of the international
organization, and Nicholas Ludwig, Sec
retary of the local organization, have is
sued statement in which they take ex-
ception to an article which appeared in
a recent issue of the Commercial, the
official organ of the Denver Chamber of
Commerce. The article stated that there
was dearth of first class machinists in
Denver. The statement issued by the
members of the Denver Machinists'
Gnion denies that there is dearth of
workmen here and makes the assertion
that just the opposite is the case at
present.

Horseshoers

Horseshoers are in great demand for
work with the European armies. The
effect on this craft in Canada is shown
by this statement of the Hamilton
tOnt.) Labor News:
"If Canadian trade unionists continue
to volunteer for overseas service in the
numbers they have of late, whole local
unions will be depleted. Some trades
have suffered worse than others. Horse
shoers particularly have gone in large
numbers. as 'farriers' We're in constant
demand at the front to look after shoe
ing the thousands OF horses used in bat
tie. The Ottawa Horse Shoers' Union,
owing to so many of its members having
enlisted, has temporarily ceased to
exist"

Gently organized Bakery and Confection-

Painters

Providing the new contractors license
ordinance is made effective, Denver
painters will be raised 81 per day, be-
ginning January l, 1916. This will mean
an increase from $4 to S5 per day and
establish flat scale for all paint
in the city. A committee of union paint
ers. headed by Business Agent Henry NJ.
Mum. held a conference with forty-five
master painters last Friday night when
an agreement to this effect was verbal
ly entered into.
The increase will affect 44O members
of the Painters Union The master
painters at first rejected the proposition
presented to them by the committee rep
reserting the painters. but later recon-
sidered and voted the increase after the
situation had been explained
Ii is said that in return for the in
crease the iourneymen are to assist the
employers in the enforcement of the new
contractors license ordinance passed by
the city council and effective October 9.
II requires license fee of $50 and will
prevent many individuals from tempo
rarily becoming contractors, as they can
not afford or will not pay the city fee.
The meeting was largely attended by
union men in addition to the master
painters.
All the large contractors of the city
are in favor of the new ordinance, but n
number of smaller employers are against
it. The painters leaders say it will ul-
timately work to the advantage of en-
ploycr and employe by preventing the
inroads of individuals who come and 90
and take many small jobs.

Well it happened lust as it was adver-
tised in The Bulletin, and the boys all
had notice by postal, SO those who
missed the big smoker have no one to
blame but themselves. 1t was grand
success and every one present had a
good time. No. "a won the diamond
Who has the ticket!
Richard Loughlin was the singer of
the evening and made a great nit in
some very classy grand opera tsongs.
Dick may not be Caruso, but he has
most of the bar boys beat when it comes
to singing high notes.
William Riley made a great hit in the
way he did not tell a good story. Try
again, Rilsy; it may go better the next
time.
Meis Heimerman was there looking
very fine and enjoyed himself says he
VIII sure be at the next one.
Carl Lomax was chairman of the
smoker, and filled the position we'll. It
IS much rumored that he is in training
for president at the next meeting.
Al. Wise and AL Smith were con-
spicuous by their absence, and they were
greatly missed, as the great drama was
not put on because they were not there
to play the part of two prisoners in
the Jail hospital ward
Charles Gunner was there with the
glad hand for everybody, and threatened
to sing song. but changed his mind
and ate a limburger sandwich
1ssy Hcrscovitz sure made a hit in the
Iiddish cashotsky, and says he will have
a new act for next months smoker.
Iltn
father rocking his boy to sleep 1t was
only an imitation, as he bumped into
Riley, and Riley went to sleep.
Jake Englander was there but did not
stay long, as he says Issy's act made
him feel bad and he had to 20 home.
Poor Jake.
Percy Walters threatened to sing a
song, but had a lemon seed in his throat
and could not get it up or down.
Kelly Bales told some very funny sto-
ries which made hit and he also told
the boys how to make mock turtle soup,
but the soup did not make a hit as the
boys say they prefer the turtle.
Mike Geary was there with his friend,
the doctor from Cripple Creek and as
vaudeville artists they sure made a hit.
lhe doctor is also some singer.
Harry Klue was enjoying himself and
says he will have a song ready for the
next smoker.
Harvey Garman, ex-state senator. gave
the boys very nice talk, but bewaiIed
the fact that he was not hungry or dry
enough to do justice to the refrcshments
that were on tap. Come again. Harvey; ;
always glad to see you.

NATIVE REsENTs CHARGE
 THAT HE WAS DRUNK

This paper has been requested by one of the teachers in the Chooolta Indian school at Carcross to give space to a denial of the report to the effect that Jimmie, Wood scion of Moosehide and erstwhile printer in the office of the Northern Light, the school paper. was arrested for drunk enness and sent to jail in Dawson af- ter leaving the school for his home the latter part of the summer. No less authority than the Rt. Rev. Bish- op Stringer of the Yukon diocese, de- clares that there is no foundation for the scurrilous report; that Jimmie Wood clerked in the N. c. Co.'S store at Dawson after his arrival there, and still later journeyed up the Klondike river in quest of winters supply of meat as an frugal Indians do. We are glad. not only for the name of Chooulta school, but also on behalf of the printers fraternity, that Jimmie does not and has not been cultivatine red ones with whoop 'em up trim mings.-(Whitehorse Star.)

ROCK CAYE-IN
 KILLS TWO AT
 PERSEVERANCE

George MOrs, machine man, and Andrew Belcastle, Q helper on anoth- CT machine, lost their lives in the Perseverance, mine Saturday night by a fall of rock which crushed them to death and buried them under three feet of muck. The accident occurred at No. 9 stope, east, In No. level. Mors watch stopped at lO:22 D. m. the exact time of the accident. The bodies were brought to Young'a yes terday.
 The machine bars had Just. been set up and the drills were about to be started when the cavein occurred, on the fooet-wall. The rock came down without warning, otherwise the men would have escaped, as they had plen- ty of room. Another miner was slightly cut by flying splinters. The bodies were dug out by the miners, within a few minutes, but had oc- cured instantaneously. 1t was indicat. ed. The ground had been thought safe, according to the men working in tho stope.
 Mors was an Italian. 35 years old. Belcastle was also an Italian. and was 2s. Both were single.
 The funerals will be held in Douglas tomorrow morning, the bodies leav- ing here at o'clock

PASSING UP
 THE LETTER @Ro

There are two letters in the Ameri- can language. the pronunciation of which. together with their endearing diminuatlves. will determine the part of the country the user thereof may hail from For 0 considerable num- Der Of years the repatriation of the letter "r," which began in the Sunny South and soon extended to the Nor thern Atlantic States. has been com pletely speading over the nation, and has even made progress In the Mid de West, where tho spoken word is uttered with vigor and freedom that is not accorded in the civiliza- tions of which Boston and New York are the centers. The letter "r" from the cultured circles of these two great districts is almost as complete an ex- ile as from the Chinese language. The Massachusetts Collegette says very prettily. but also very inaccurate ly, fa.athah and ma-atha, which is ev- en going somewhat more strongly than Virginia, where the "r" is left out with less ostentation.
 Through Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, travellers say. the popular terms for father and mother continue to be, as in the days of the early settlers "pop" and "mom." and "poppa" and "mom- ma" These terms are used by the daughters of the household, while the sturdy sons continue to pronounce the terms dad" and imam"
 The Southern girl pronounces the word pa in a way that no Northern girl can initiate, no matter how much time and thought she may give to the attemtpt. By means of her pro. nunciation of this word the girl from the South at once is differentiated from all other sections. Her word for "Pa.' is not exactly "pay," but about halfway between that and the sound Of "a" in "cat."
 But 1t is to the young ladies of New England that we owe the innocuoua desuetude of the letter "r" in many T
 parts of this country. Their Influence has extended, having been brought away from summer seaside and noun tain resorts by visitors who admitted and initiated. A few days ago young lady of this city. who had returned from the East, told one of her friends that she was going to give a little af ternoon party and part of the deco rations would be hops" which she would trim with autumn leaves aHopew exclaimed the friends, "youi mamma is such a Prohibitionist sh' will never stand for that" q did moi say hops" said the girl from th' East. q said h-a-r-p-s, musical em Iblems. don't you know."-(Indianapo Ills News)

HAD ST. WTus DANCE AND
 WAS THOUGHT CRAZY

A man named Hedstadt was tried some days ago for insanity at Kodiak, but the jury in the Commissioners court found that he was quite sane due to nothing but the fact that he was badly afflicted with St. Vitus' dance. Complaints had been sent to Kodiak about Hedstadt and the dep uty marshal went over to the cannery of the Alaska Packing company at Uyak. where the man was employed and brought him to Kodiak. It was learned that whenever Hedstadt start ed to speak to anyone his head broke into sort of volcanic eruption. In many cases people went to speak to him and when Hedstadt got in his headwork they ran out of the door. In two case men jumped through the window and one old native lady Is said to be running yet. Finally the cltizorry O; Uyak got action and had him arrested as e madman.-(valdez Miner)
