Count Won Reventlow, the German

the Russians have great reserves OF

Rumania and Greece on the side of the

Flooding the Reads

The water commissioner is this week
warning the public against flooding
the roads. What we can't understand
is why Town and County officials will
spend large sums Of money each year
TO build and repair roads without the
proper drainage. We don't believe
there is. a single irrisator who wants
to dcspOil road but when his irriga-
ton water comes to the end of a field
it must go somewhere. Then the
question arises must he be prosecuted
when the bitches will not carry off the
surplus water. Someone is to blame
and someone aught to suffer the pen
atty of spelling the roads. A little
money spent on drainage will save lots
of money in building and repairing
roads and will save lots of hard feel
ings if the parties running water In
the road are arrested and fined.

Organize New iiank.

Messrs John Hamilton and r. V.
Grantham have organized new Sta te
Bank at Johnstown, Colorado with a
paid up capital of $4,000. Mr.. Ham
ilton will be president of the new in
stitution and Mr. Grsntham will be the
Cashier. Local men at Johnstown al
so have an interest and they expect to
have the bank open for business in
about a week.
On account OF Mr.. Grantham's con-
nections with the First National Bank
here he is not sure just when he can
get away but will do so in a very short
time. This will mean no small loss
to Julesgurg as both Mr. Hamilton and
Mr.. Grantham have been residents of
Julesburg considerable length of
time and have made many friends who
will regret exceedingly to have them
leave here. Mr.. Grantham has been
prominent in Masoic work and he and
his family have been active in church
and social matters and they will leave
a vacancy that will be hard to fill 1t
has not been definitely settled yet who
will succeed Mr. Grantham in the First
National here.

B0rland's Silly Notion

Representative Borland OF Missouri.
Is the most unpopular man in Wash
fngton: all because he wanted to fire
$500 civil service clerks who have
nothing to do except to sign the pay
roll: and to make the balance of the
government clerks work from nine in
the morning until five in the afternoon.
The Washington Herald voices tn.
plant Of the clerks by saying this was
plan to saddle an excessive working
day on the government clerks of Wash
ington." The working day is all too
long as it is, since there is hardly time
for golf and tennis between half past
four and "supper-time" II Borland had

Cook Still Claims the Pole

DR.. Frederick A Cook was in Wash
ington the other day, and made his
annual claim to the pole DIR. Cook
insists that he saw 1t first" and he
wants an investigation by Congress, to
prove his statement. A good many
people are beginning to wonder why Il
is that DR.. Cook should be denied the
simple justice of trail by his peers"
The Pcary claims were accepted al
most without question, potwithstand-
ing they were quite as hazy as those OF
DR.. Cooks 1t is an easy thing to keep

all the opposition Republican, Demo

campaign whose only slogan will be-
Down with Speer." In the latter case
it would be the plan to continue the
present form OF government for an
other year at least. Mr. Speer has
heretofore favored wide-open town,
and 1t is believed that those who op-
pos q strict enforcement of the pro-
hibition law will rally to his support
These people however, will miss the
four hundred headquarters they for

in the district. There were many ex-

with special music. Yearly reports
of the work were given by the various

were present from every local Union
in the district with one exception.
Mrs. Adrianna Hungrford of Denver.

do you know, my friends. that this

of ours? The press tells us that 10000
cities and communities are simultan-

enlightened care of infants in this
country; protection if you please to
our infant industry.
so, Mr.. Chairman lis it not most fit
ting that the congress Of the United
States at the same time should be fos-

infant industries by refusing to re-
move. for the time at least, it's last
swadding cloth of protection, without
which this industry must necessarily
languish and in the end die.
In my district, at least, the manu-
facture of beet sugar is an infant in
dustry, having grown and developed to
its gigantic proportions within the last
fifteen years.
Its beneficent effect is keenly felt
by all our people. This includes, of
