The local Blue Ridge management
nov has an opportunity TO secure
the services of couple of young
sters who are not only remarkably
speedy, but have a reputation for
heavy stiok-work not equalled in the
valley-"Old Man" Pitzer and First
V.-P. Creque, both OF whom have
been rendered contracts but who
are holding out for more money.
These two youngsters have taken
advantage of the present snow to
Timber up Their whips somewhat
and late yesterday afternoon were
seen on a side street firing snowballe
at each other The Old Man had the
advantage OF the First V.-P... in that
the latter offered a much wider tar
get, and consequently PITT scored
more hits than did Kins. The latter
tried to hide behind a tree, but as
about two feet of him stuck out on
each side, this afforded him only
slight protection The local manage
ment states that but one thing stands
in the way of signing up these colts
the fear that the club would be
unable to purchase enough material
to make uniform for the First Y.

To Hear the Different Motions Of
the Attorneys and Special
Term Arranged For

Judge Allen will arrive i'm this

In letter to- Clerk of Court
August Bergman Judge Allen says
that probably an adjourned or
special term may be arranged for
to be held some tima in April,
and at that time the calender TO
be cleaned up, SO as to get through
many tedious cases that are on
the docket.
1t seems probable that the at

will agree to- this on account of
the nature of some Of the eases
and they are few minor cases
that will not take up a great deal
of time.
A new list of jurors will then be
and they will probably
have to serve until the docket is
entirey clear of all cases now
pending in the district court.

Frank Miksche prop. of the
Milkin hotel in Breckenridge will
have a formal opening of his new
lobby and billiard parlor. After
the closing of the bar room in ac-
cordance to the county law, Mr..

had this room refurnished and
renovated into one Of the best

"Washington and Madison are
being quoted as saying, that the
best guarantee Of protection is
preparedness. If they said that, all
l can say is that their premises
were not sound. 1t is not true and
as proof of this l will point you
to the countries Of Europe which
are now madly engaged in the
bloodiest and cruelest war ever
known, and those countries were
prepared 1t was their prepared
ness that made the war.
1T is easy to conjure up fright
full things. Many Of these things
are possible but most of them are
not probable. What have l to offer
in proof of that assertion. sim
|ply point you to the history of
your country. This nation has new
er been attacked. In every war that
this country has been engaged,
this country declared war.
'Our exposed coast lines that
we hear so much about have been
there ever since this nation was
weak. struggling little country.
They have never been attacked.
More than that no nation has ever
threatened to attack them until we
had first declared war. Every war
we have ever had has been of our
own choosing.
'Now we are the greatest and
wealthiest civilized nation in the
world, with the greatest inherent
power. 1t is logical, is it probable
that We should expect an attack i?
No."
In closing his address Mr.. Dunn
made scathing denunciation of
the pork barrel'' methods of
handling war appropriations and
made vigorous appeal for gov

tions plants.

on our army and navy" said Mr..
Dunn and now those who have
spent it tell us that we have ND
army or navy worth speaking
about. Before we spend $2,4OO.-
100000 more let's investigate
what has become of the vast sum
that has been frittered away or

Early in life, Mr.. Shields be-
came interested in the study Of
wild things and has pursued that
line of thought and Investigation
ever since. He has hunted success
fully every kind of game on this
Continent, south of the Arctic
Circle, with gun and camera, but
he quit killing years ago, when
game began to grow scarce. Since
that time he has hunted exten-
sively with camera, field glass and
note book, and has stored up
great fund of knowledge of the
habits of wild animals and birds.
He established Recreation maga-
zine in 1894 and built it to a cir
culation of $4,000 copies, the
largest ever enjoyed by any
sportsman's publication in this
country. He organized the League
of American Sportsmen in 1898.
built it to a membership of over
10000 and has been president Of
it from the Ghy of it's inception to
date.
Mr.. Shields evolved the idea Of
he Camp Fire Club Of America
in 1897, called together about SO
men of his own kind, held month
ly meetings, and for six years did
all the work of that organization,
which is now one of the greatest
and most important game protec-
tive organizations in America.
He has written seven books on
outdoor subjects, all of which
have had large sales, and one of
(which, "Hunting in the Great
West" has sold over 100000 CO.

TO Mr.. E. SWEENEY.-'Let the
working people practice non-resist-
ance." Mr.. Sweeney, do you mean
that if the working people are ex-
plotted by their masters they should
not go on strike, but simply take it
good-naturedly? The working peo-
pie have been doing this long enough,
and what is the result? Why have
we educators if not to awaken the
people to resist this evil, for it GER
tainly is a great evil?
Perhaps did not understand your
letter correctly. But pray do tell me
what you meant by ''the working
people should practice non-resist-
ance." Are you averse to science?
Do you think it will make greater
slaves of us than we are now?
Non-resistance is based on theo-
logical religion and preachers GER
tainly practice it; at least, they tell
the people to practice it just to keep
them in submission. The difference
between science and religion is that
science believes in resistance This
is the very breath of modern civil
ization. On the other hand, religion,
with its non-resistance, does not
make any progress, but meets with
defeat, just as science advances. The
least developed are the most averse
to change, but you are going through
the process of evolution whether you
like it or not.
If you want to be more posted on
the theory of non-resistance advise
