Tungsten Operators
Want Ore Treated Here

Owing to the fact that the concen-
trating mills of Boulder county are so
rushed and the further fact that the
extra heavy stamps are dropped SO
rapidly that most of their valued pro-
duct goes off in shines, R. A. Bryant,
grandson of Ex- Governor Routt, IN
company with Messrs. Slattery q FISH

And thus it is that Idaho Springs

Boy Travels Safely

Mr.. and Mrs. H. E. Machol were
the proud recipients of a letter
from total stranger informing
them of the manliness of their son
Jack who travelled alone from Den
yer to Cleveland, Ohio. The gent
leman who wrote Mr.. Machol is an
exalter ruler of the Elks, living in
Omaha, and was attracted to Jack
on the train by his manly appear
ance and the presence of an Elk
pin on his coat. He offered Jack
his services if needed but soon
found the young man well able to
care for himself. The brother Elk
was SO proud Of the boy that he
took the trouble to write Mr..
Machol a personal letter.
The Burlington officials, too,
were very attentive and instructed
the trainmen along the line by
wire to see that Jack was well
cared for. One of them wired Mr..
Machol from Chicago "Jack is well
and happy as a lark.
Such are modern methods of

The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1916-05-26

mayor UeO. T.. McSlclldHu, wiz
has been vigorous and constant in
his opposition to the extension OF
the Denver National park to IN
clude portion of Clear Greek
county, recently requested the
Forest Service of the Z tied
States Department of Agriculture
to give him the facts and figures
relative to the work being done by
that department for the improve
ment of Idaho Springs watershed.
Mayor McClelland favors the re-
tention of the government land IN
the control of the Forest Service
rather than transferring it to the
national park domain. He con-
tends that we can get just as good
mountain roads through the forest
service as by creating a national
park, and retain the undeveloped
area for the free and unrestricted
use of the mining prospector.,
The following letter from the
Assistant District Forester tells
what has been done in the way Of
planting trees on our watershed
and what will be done in the fu-
ture.
"Of the 4O,2OO acres being pro-
tected for the City, approximately
10000 acres are included in the
area which this bill proposes to
create into National Park. This
area is, of course, only an approx
nation. 1t may vary either way
slightly. The lands protected do
not conform to surveyed lines, but
rather to the divide which sepa-
rates the watersheds. That of
Idaho Springs includes Chicago
Lake with three Chicago creeks,
Soda and Barber creeks and DEVILS
Canyon.
The most important part of the
area and that most in need of pro-
lection is the upper portion of the
watershed, or the area which lies
within the tract proposed as a Ma
tional Park.
Last year 5000 yellow pine
transplants were put out by this
service on the watershed. This
year 117,OOO yellow pine trans
plants were sent to Idaho Springs,
and the planting is now being
done. Next year about 100000
Douglas frs will be planted, and
this from our present estimate,
will reforest the treeless area,
which it is reasonable to assume
would not restock through protec-
ton against fire."
Senator Charles 5. Thomas has
expressed his views clearly and
has told why he cannot support the
park proposition. His letter to
former Commissioner Greenlee
follows:
'May Is, 1916.

Miniature Waterfall

The overflow from the city res
ervoir has been turned from its old
channel to a new one over the cliff
at the foot of 18th avenue. Con-
siderable dynamiting was necces-
sary to cut the channel in the rocks
but as the water now comes tumb-
ling over the rocks and falls to the
creek far below, the scene is quite
picturesque.
The next step will be to string
some vari-colored lights along the

COMFORTS OF HOME.

The marching on Mexico by the
militia is resulting in many disclos-
ures that ought to result in great i'm
provement of the militia, before war
actually does come,
1t appears that our boys are not
only poorly fitted out with shoes and
stockings, for instance, but, while
holding down the weary desert Dor
der, they're suffering for want of
fruit. Back home, in ordinary walks
of life, they were accustomed to fruit
and it is a serious arrangement to
walk up and down, hours and hours,
through sand and cactus, with no
fruit, and so cry for fruit went up.
We are pleased to announce, that
several California communities, par
ticularly those of the San Joaquin
valley and Kings county, have al
ready responded. They've sent to the
front large quantities of dried prunes,
peaches and grapes. While we under
stand that our militia's demand was
for fresh fruit, it is hoped that dried
fruit will prove satisfactory temper
airy substitute. Dried fruit lasts long
er and goes further, and true patriot
ism will not balk at dried fruit, any
how. .

Alaska, the Canal Zone, and Porto
Rico are the back fields of the United
States. The average member of our
great family never sees them or any
of them. We are prone to forget that
they are inhabituated by men like
ourselves, men to whom we have not
given the right to vote on our ques-
lions, as New York votes on Califor-
MAS questions.
THAT is one of the greatest objec-
lions to policy of expanding our gov
eminent over peoples who for any
reason cannot be expected to become
fellow-citizens of ours in the voting
sense.
Porto Rico was part of the Span
ish Empire when Massachusetts and
Virginia were undiscovered by the
whites. 1t sent it's elected representa-
tives, representatives with votes, too,

preventative in our congress who has
a vote.

READERS COLUMN
A BRIDGE BOOSTER.
Bismarck, n. D., July Fl

Editor Bismarck Tribune,
Dear Sir: In your paper this morn
ing you call attention to the necessi-
ty Of a bridge over the Missouri river.
The suggestion is a good one and
should be acted on at once.
The following thoughts have come
to my mind:
Let the people interested form a
bridge company to build, and sub
scribe to the stock. Have Burleigh
and Morton counties either subscribe
to the stock or, guarantee the bonds
of the company.
Make the bridge, to start with, a
toll bridge. Say, charge autos 81, and
other things in proportion Also, the
state might apply say so cents out Of
each license fee collected on autos
1t seems that it is safe to count on
tolls and the 5O-cent license fund an
income of $4,000 per year. If the
bridge cost $250,OO0 and the interest
4 per cent, which would be $4,000,
there would be $4,000 to apply on
principal, which would pay it in full
in ten years, leaving the bridge free
to the public for all time.
There might be some objections by
local people who would cross the
bridge very often about paying 81
toll. That could be overcome by sell.
ing an annual pass for, say S..
To carry out my idea, it might re-
quire state and national legislation,
yet I think that could be obtained.
