great praise from art connoisseurs upon
his true to nature painting which forms
the cover page for the June issue of Out
door Life, the Vests leading monthly
magazine, published in Denver by j. A.
McSuire. The o. p. confesses to being at
Il disadvantage when it comes to writing
about paint and brush art, but suffice to
say that the cover picture is a mountain
trout Just hooked by a fly, and he is
swishing the water in a vain attempt to
get away from the angler. So natural is
the trout that one is tempted to tear off
the cover and throw it on broiler. Beck
paints direct from nature and during the
summer spends many days in the noun
tains. He has had quite a number of
drawings, etchings and paintings accepted
by Eastern publications which make a
speciality of nature pictures. and by pub
fishers of art calendars. While visiting
The Bulletin office this week, Beck stated
that he is preparing to open a studio and
art store at 425 Sixteenth street and
Will devote most of his time to art calen-
dar work. Beck's many friends in and
out of the labor movement Will be
pleased to learn of his progress and wish
him success in his new venture.

bly, 81 900 in cash was set aside as a nu-
cleus of Labor Temple fund. After re-
ceiving nearly 5000 from the street carni-
val held last week, the financial secre-
tary, William II. Young, reported n
cash balance of about 81 500 on hand and
the labor temple suggestion was made
and accepted. This is a good start and
puts the Pueblo Assembly several laps
ahead of the Denver labor movement for
home of its own \ committee to devise
and carry out plans for temple was ap-
pointed, consisting of William II. Young,
chairman: F. B. Dunbar. J. C. Rugg. G.

known and able members of the labor
movement. The o. p. congratulate the

organized workers of Denver to go ahead
and do likewise.
The o. p. is always glad to commend
