e. w. Harold

Down at Aberdeen is e. w. Harold,
one of the first settlers, superintend-
ent of the city schools and an able
educator. He is very methodical and
does everything just as he is accus-
toned to. He has become accustom-
ed to living single and so he just
keeps on doing it. 1t may take a
leap year proposal to break the habit
with him, but it would be a good
thing if 1t could be brought about.
He has farm near, in the suburbs
of Aberdeen, and few years ago
there was flower and vine at the
corner of the house, but even that
is gone now. and that proves con-
clusively that Mr.. Harold should have
wife. In that event there would
soon be two or three flowers around
the place, and all sorts of vines, big
crops and fine lawn. In fact, the
development of the beautiful Aber-
deem country depends in part upon
Mr.. Harold being married. Girls,
there's your chance!
B. f. Reddick
Up in the other end Of the county
is B. F. Reddick, also disposed to
teach school and farm, with prefer
ence for farming. Bee Eff is from
Kansas, and knows good thing
when he sees it. He saw a fine piece
of land up in the hills couple OF
years ago and he mailed It," He
has it yet, and what is more, he is
farming part of it. He has the flower
planted and the vine is rooted at the
corner Of the cabin. In the spring
it will grow up and shade the window
sill, and Reddick will be happy and
will whistle, oh so merrily, for he
likes vines and clinging things. Bee
Eff is baching in south of town in a
shack with ]. B. Goodpasture, wait
ing for spring-and mayhaps for
proposals.
w. s. Wright
Perhaps you prefer a business
man; one who handles more money
and is not so close to nature. Well,
there's w. s. Wright, assistant cash
Ter in the First National Bank. He
handles money all day long, coolies
of it, and smiles thru the window at
all the good looking ladies that come
that way. If you don't believe It,
present a good check at the window
and see il he doesn't cash it and
look like somebody's future husband.
That's the test, good check, good
money; good man behind the money.
Take look at the man behind!
Will stroh
Do you like pioneering in new
fields with the charm of mystery
about them? Consider Will Stroh,
who has claim on the Birch creek
road out near the Twin Buttes. It
looks a good ways off when you just
look at the buttes, but look at the
man and the claim. And 1t isn't so
far out as it might be either. True
it is eight or ten miles beyond the
lavas, and they have been considered
the limit, but that isn't far with a
Ford, and Wills winter wheat is
fourishing under the snow. A Ford
is not out of range of reason at
threshing time.

Ola is Cheerful

It has showed steadily in Ola for
two days and internationally for q
fortnight. On Wednesday night Ii
inches of snow fell. The ground at
Ola is covered to a depth of about
four feet. No mail has been getting
into the north country for two weeks.
The roads leading into Ola are heavy
but passable. There has been no
damage in Ola or vicinity, SO far as
could be learned, and the people are
cheerful.

High Valley Conditions

CHEERFUL.
High Valley Conditions
The snow is about six feet on the
level at High Valley. 1t has been fall
ing steadily for SO hours. No mail
has been received for 10 days and
the prospects are not encouraging. In
places along the telephone line the
snow is drifted to the level of the
wires. No damage has been reported.
Five Feet At Meadows
New Meadows reports five feet OF
snow on the level. Resumption Of
train service is not expected for at
least few days. Wagon roads are
open, but hard to travel on account
of the depth of loose snow.
Council Out Or
The last train into Council reach
ed there at IL p. m. on January II,
and the prospects for service are not
encouraging. The snow is over four
feet on the level and we'll packed. On
the Pacific G Idaho Northern the
snow stands five to seven feet on the

Landore and Cuprum
Landore and Cuprum are covered
with snow to depth of about seven
feet. The wagon roads are open, but
travel is light and likely to be SO for
time.
Silver Undisturbed
Silver City has had almost a con-
tinuous snowstorm since the first Of
the year, with but two or three
breaks. The snow stands eight feet
deep on the level, and In places 1t is
drifted to a depth Of 80 feet. Mail
has been coming in regularly, but
freight teams are having some
trouble getting over the heavy roads
now The Delamar stage, leaving
Silver at $3.50 on Wednesday morn
ing, had only succeeded in making
three miles up to 8 p. M, when 1t
was reported stalled.

INSPECTOR HERE LOOKING
AFTER MOTOR LICENSES

George C. Harper of Denver, one of
of the two automobile license inspec-
tors employed Ly the state. is in Canon
City today looking up the motor car
licenses issued from the county clerks
office for the purpose Of ascertaining
whe her the permits had been proper
ly applied for and had been granted in
accord nee with the motor vehicle
law of the state. A misrepresenta-
tion in the size and horsepower OF
license makes the applicant liable 70
fine of twenty-five dollars. The Ii
cense required Ey the state is two dol
lars and fifty cents for motor vehicles
five dollars for motor vehicles of
twenty-onc horse power and less than
forty horse power. inclusive, and ten
dollars for motor cars for forty-one
horse power and over.
In every instance the manufactur-
er's rating as to horse power had to
be taken as the basis for the license.
In some cases application for a license
is made upon the owners rating of the
machine, which is, in some instances.
less than that assigned to it by the
manufacturer. Mr.. Harper is hero for
the purpose of trying to find ort
whether the licenses are in accord
with the power to the cars to which
they are granted He has found about
forty violators of this particular pi O.
vision of the statute in Colorado.
Mr.. Harper must also watch out for
cars and motors being driven without
a license tag. Mr.. Harper has to look
after the southern half of the state.
The territory is large and last year
was not able to get. This is the first
call Canon City has had from such an
inspector. He will be here week or
SO. as long as it takes to look up all
the auto owners.
You just as well smile when he
calls.
1t will be interesting TO know that
there is at present five hundred and
thirty-seven motor vehicle licenses in
effect in Fremont county The first
license issued in this county this year
was No $4,000 and that those that have
been issued since run up in regular
numerical order; making the last one
granted No. Ss.537.

INTERESTING RECITAL
AT BAPTIST CHURCH

The recital given at the First Bap-
tist church Thursday night by the
pupils of Miss Grace Osborne. assisted
by three of Miss Smiths pupils and
the male quartet of the BAPTIST church,
attracted an assemblage that filled the
auditorium to overnowing and was in
all respects a most delightful affair.
The program was pleasing one and
was arranged in such a way as to
show to excellent advantage the tai
ent of all taking part in its presenta-
ton.
Although her name did not appear
on the program as a participant in
the entertainment, Rev. 1lsley ex.
pressed for himself and the audience
desire to listen to a reading by Miss
, Osborn and promised IL generous
, silver offering was made by those pres
ent for what they had already heard
to ask her to contribute in that way
to the pleasure of the occasion. The
contribution was probably gratifying
as Rev. Ilsley fulfilled his agreement
in relation to the matter and Miss
Osborn consented to his proposition.
Her reading was keenly appreciated
aud evoked the utmost enthusiasm.

Der. Mr., McCumber spoke along the

comparisons. He said in part:
And so | say, the remedy can be
expressed in only these words: The
American market for the American
farmer until every economic injustice
between class and class has been
wiped out. Give him the American
market as you have given the same
to the merchant or manufacturer for
SO years, and the problem will solve
itself. With the present increase in
population, consumption of food prod

Mr. Chairman, we all know that
eastern Montana, North and South
Dakota and Minnesota, the greatest
wheat section in the whole country,
produce a special highly glutenized
wheat. So great is the milling de.
mand in this country for this grain,
and with normal crop the supply is
always on the deficit side. The mills
need more than we raise. This gives
us a price ordinarily far above the
worlds level prices, provided the
mills cannot sevure the same kind OF
grain elsewhere within a reasonable
radius, and they cannot secure the
same kind elsewhere in the United
States! The paramount Importance

LOUDLY CHEERED

Washington, Jan 20.-A call to the
American people to arm themselves
against day fast coming when they
may need to fight was sounded today
and tonight in speeches before the
First Congress of the National Sc
curity league. The call was greeted
with continued and enthusiastic ap-
plause by the several hundred manu-
facturers, publishers, merchants, and
others gathered at the congress.
Robert Bacon, former secretary of
state, brought the audience at it's
evening session to it's feet, when he
declared:
"The nation is astir with a new
feeling; there is an awakening
throughout the land. The call for
Americans to save America is sound
ing from house to house and from
city to city like that call which 'on
the 18th day of April, 1775, went
through eevery Middlesex village and
farm and T believe the answer will
be as strong and clear as it was
then"
Roosevelt Is Cheered.
Theodore Roosevelt's name was
cheered loudly. His sister, Mrs. The
odore Douglas Robinson, read to the
gathering letter in which he said he
regarded the proposed continental
army as sham, which would be
merely an inefficient rival to the ma
tional guard; that the navy program
was "a paper program entirely in
adequate to our needs" and that
military preparedness should be re-
quired "as matter of right, not as
matter of favor" of all American
citizens.
Scores Wilson.
Col. Roosevelt likened the United
States failure to take other action
than diplomatic negotiations over the
loss of American lives by submarine
warfare to man whose wife's face
was slapped on the stand, who took
no other action than to tell her to
stay at home.
Miss Maud Wetmore, chairman of
the woman's section of the National
Civic Federation, told the congress
that "no woman who brings up her
children on policy that she did not
raise her boy to be soldier has a
right to the protection of another
woman's SON.
May Have to Fight.
| Luke Wright. secretary of war in
Roosevet's cabinet, declared that the
country had reversed the policy,
speak softly and carry big stick, "
by speaking loudly and carrying a
stuffed club"
Mr.. Wright said it was possible
the United States might have to fight
England after the present war, be
cause elf there is anything that
makes an Englishman peevish it is to
disturb his trade" The present pre-.
paredness program, he said, was a
step in the right direction, 'but a
mighty short STEP"
