A GOOD TICKET

The Democrats CT Central held
their assembly in the Observer Of
flee last night and designated a
strong ticket for the primary cleo
ton, which will be held on Tuesday,
March 7th Realizing the urgent
necessity of filling the mayoralty and
aldeGmanic positions with competent
mcn OF good business judgment, par
ty lines were net adhered to strict
ly. Good men were named regardless
OF party affiliato ons with the hope
that they would stand for election
and give tie city a satisfactory ad-
ministra icn. The affairs of the
city lave been going from bad TO
worse until the situation has reach
ed the stage where the services of
men dri led in business management
stiou!d take charge. Those designct-
ed for mayor ard aldermen should
feel it duty they owe themselves
and the community to fill these posi-
ticns and give the city an economical
and practical administration.
More interest should be taken in
city politics by the citizens, particu-
larly the taxpayers and business
men, tlap has ben displayed in
tie rast il it is ever hoped to NEST
the heavy Indebtedness and place
municipal affairs on a solid basis.
Aldermen should not be selected. re-
gardless of qualif cations, just to f'll
the positions. In years past, tie
substantial citizers cf tie com muni-
ty took great pride in the city gov
ernment, but OF recent years there
has been a woeMl inclination TO
shirIS the responsibility. There has
been criticism ap!enty but no initias
tive taken to remedy the condition.
If any change is to be brought about,
now is tie time to make the move
that unfortunately has not been made
long before.
The following gentlemen have been
designated, and it is hoped that in

LONG AS THEY HAvE-lNvES-
TlGATIoN TO BE MADE.

Agitation against the smelter trust
Clear Greek and Boulder counties ha
at least brought the smelter people
Ground to giving the producer of
ores some consideration. Tuesday
morning, w. B. Mcdonald, represent
ing the American Smelling & Refin-
ing company, came over from Idaho
Springs where he had held a con-
ference with the ore shippers of
that county and held meeting with
number of the operators of Gilpin
county in the office of Robt H.
Sayre. Mr. Mcdonald came to Gi!-
pin county to ascertain just what
the grievances of the shippers here
We're and had no trouble in satisfy
ing his curiosity.
After listening to numerous COM
plants of those who had been send
ing their ore to the Chamberlain
sampler and had been getting any
thing but a satisfactory settlement
on their ores, Mr.. Mcdonald told
the gathering their grievances were
against the sampler rather than the
smelter.
At the beginning OF the confer
ence, Mr.. McDora'd said the i'm
preston prevailed that the Chamber
lain sampler and the smelter COM
pany were connected hut that he
wanted the miners to understand tha
this impression is false. He said
there was no connection whatever
between the two concerns. Some
years ago, there were interlocking
interetss but today the one company
is wholly independent OF the other.
From the manner in which Mr.. Nc
Donald scored the antiQuated samp-
ling process of the Chamberlain con-
Germ, one wss led to believe that he
was telling the truth in regard to
there being no relations between the
smelling company and Cham mberlain.
He said the sampling system was
so inadequate and obsolete it was
a mystery to him that the miners
of Gilpin county had stood for it
as long as they had. He suggest
ed an avenue of relief in the coop
erative sampler and assured the min
ers that should they adopt that
course, the smelter would give them
the same treatment as Chamberlain
enjoyed.
Mr.. Mcdonald slowed the miners
that they could do better by ship
ping small lots Of h'gh-grade ore dir
ect to the sampler and bearing the
local freight rate, than by shipping
through Chamberlain. On a contract
s1.00 ton would be saved in the
treatment charge and the open sche-
dule would be paid for gold. which
in less than ton lots is $1.00 an
ounce more than the sampler allows.
In addition to this, the ore would be
sampled under modern methods
which would give the miner more
accurate results than can be obtain
ed through the out-of-date process of
the Chamberlain concern.

AMMONIA TO SMOTHER FIRE
Remarkable Results Noted in Its Use
at Recent Blaze That Threatened

case the yapor from q tank Of benzo.

The fire was at once annihi]ated
by throwing into the room a bottle

next door. The chemist, in report.
ing the matter, stated that the effect
was instantaneous. the flames Civ.

The most surprising feature oil
the occurrence is that the tank OF

the vapor from it was the initial
cause of the outbreak.

which at recent meeting voted In
favor of conscription in Canada, has
consented to so to Ottawa and pre-
sent to the dominion government the
resolution adopted by the organiza'

Members OF the league declare
that compulsory military service Is
necessary II Canada is to raise tho
500, 600 troops pledged to England.
The league has prepared figures
showing that since the beginning o1
the war Canada has recruited but
2.37 per cent of its population, COM
pared with 5.5 per cent for South
Africa, Ais for New Zealand and
3.57 per cent for Australia.
Numerous methods of recruiting
have been resorted to here, including,
a house-to- house poll, in an effort To-
bring out larger numbers. The
league. as well as several other sim
liar organizations, has reached the
conclusion that the advisable course
to be taken for solution of the ques-
ton Is to enforce compulsory service.

~ due to public opinion as expressed
by civilians. In the past the army has
been the support of the reaction. Now
the army, sick of corruption and dis
organization, is In the main with the
duma. The officers of the old army
were all arstocrats, but the old army
has been wiped out of existence by the
Germans. and most officers in the
present formation were promoted from
the ranks or recruited from the mid
die class. The result of this influence
of the political situation has been
enormous.
one anecdote which reaches me
from a most reliable source will show
how the wind is blowing In the army.
After the dissolution of the duma last
autumn. the ear refused to receive
the mayor of Moscow. NJ. Chelnokoff,
and the president Of the congress of
,zemstvos. NJ. Lvoff. who were depu-
tized by the zemstvos and town coun-
ellis to protest against the temporary
victory of the reaction. Some weeks
ago, General Alexieff generalissimo
of all the Russion armies under the
czar. invited these two men to gen.
eral headquarters, gave them most
hearty welcome, and introduced them
to the emperor there. Both men. on
returning said they found the political
views of oil the heads Of the army In
complete harmony with those Of the
progressives in the duma.
One reason why the Russian situa-
ton Is being watched so closely in
England and France is the belief that
If the czar grants his people a con-
stitutional monarchy and gets rid OF
the bureaucracy. the example set by
Russia will be followed by the Ger
man people. who will get rid of the
Prrssian military clique by which they
are now ruled Ever IL this desirable
consummation is not eached until the
end of the war, 1t will greatly ease the
situation throughout the world. by
making it less likely that another war
will soon be promoted without the
cwledge or consent OF the people
concerned.
