Shane Steel Tie and Appliance
Company at the Annual Meeting
of Stockholders at Phoenix Ari-
zona last Thursday.
Mr.. Juchem has been interest
ed in the Shane Steel Tie for
some little time, as are also a
number of local business men.
and as he is enthusiastic in the
success of the company and is
known to be man who stands
for what he believes to be fair
and square, it was thought he
would be a desirable man to assist
in administering the business of
the company, which must be ad-
ministered in the interests of the
many stockholders or the com.
pany would not be a success.
A large number of the Denver
City Tramway employees have
invested in this company, many
of them knowing the railroad
business pretty thoroughly and
believing the Shane Steel Tie to
be the coming railway equipment,
because of its many strong points,
and as many of them know Mr..
Juchem personally they were
anxious that he should become a
member of the board.
The company now has seven
directors and is in splendid work.

a heavy paternaI air.

Joe Robertson pulled a hundred

right-hand pocket. Then he pulled
a hundred and twenty-five from his
left-hand pocket. He slammed the
whole sum down on the desk under
Pops eyes. Pop stared at the money,
made a grab for it, and put it down.

Pop happened to be passing

of the woman's excited tones. The
cashier left his cage.

Pop had weathered many crisis

Birds Ely From Battle.

One of the war correspondents has
noted the complete absence OF birds
from the battleHelds OF northern
France and the consequent profusion
of spiders and other cognate crawling
things. Birds always desert scenes OF
heavy gunfire; and. what is more. they
often do not return for many years.
All birds left the theater of war In
South Africa. and 1t is only now-14
years later-that they are returning.
Meanwhile South Africa has suffered
from a veSatious plague of ground in
sects-"tecks." as they call them over
there. 1t is not supposed that the
African birds left the country. but
that they merely retired to some re.
mote and peaceful part of the veldt.

Cormick of Chicago who has been one
of the heaviest financial hackers of
the Progressive party. has returned to
the Republican fold, and the unmis-
taxable signs of the times point to
the choice and election of Republican
president in 1916, by a majority some
thing like Mckinley in 1896. We are
willing to venture a guess that the Re-
publican nominee will be that able
statesman, Congressman Mann of Hin

Governor Carlson and the other exc

Governor Carlson and the other exc
cutives certainly acted wisely when
they voluntarily reduced their expense
accounts in 'the short appropriation
bill. The governor, after consulting
with the heads of all the departments,
reduced the bill little over $4,000.
This is not much when compared with
the total cost of running the state
but it shows the right spirit. Every
head of every department announced
that he was willing to do his part in
reducing and the $4,000 represents a
slight reduction in every department
in the capitol. If this same practice
is continued during the entire admin
istration it will mean a successful
biennial period. - Grand Junction

The fruit growers seem to have
hard time with the commission mer-
chant bills which they have done so
much clamoring for Just now the
Palisade growers are objecting to the
Johnson bill and demand the drafting
of a new bill. Within the last bien-
nial legislative period the matter was
urged as a state measure and Senator
George Stephan of Delta and Repre-
sentative Hawkins took the matter up.
Senator Stephan spent much time
both in conference with growers and
in delving into law foundation for the
measure which was finally drafted
and which seemed to meet with gen
eral appreciation of growers. After
all was done the measure was put
upon the referendum list and defeated
at last election. 1t seems like hard
matter to please everybody. or even
to satisfy a majority.

The plant is going up everywhere
for return to mining in this state
and the assertion is repeated that the
state was never so prosperous as
when mining camps were active. This
is true to the extent that the mining
industry, when active, helped every
other industry to an extent nothing
else could do. 1t is not the lack of
capital for mining so much as general
interference with prospecting that has
caused it's decline. Take away the
elements of chance from the mining
field and it's main attraction has been
withdrawn. The government of the
United States and the lawmakers of
mining states have placed many res
trictions and hardships upon prospec-
tors and operators, when, instead of
doing this they should have offered
them every encouragement and re-
ward.

Gordon G. Galloway.-The close of
the European war will witness the re-
turn to prominence of the radium in
dustry in Colorado and probably the
investment of hundreds of thousands
of dollars in the development of those
sections of the state where radium-
bearing ores have been discovered
Three hundred square miles of one
district is awaiting development and
the surface has barely been scratched.
Temporarily there is no market for
the ore because of the closing down
of the refining plants in Europe where
the major portion of the ore is trans
formed. but with the return of peace
! can see no reason why the radium
industry in Colorado should not be-
come one of the most flourishing in
the state and great factor in the
states general prosperity.

letter fall. and 1t was he who picked
1t up. When he had put both name
