A meeting OF the Democratic County
Central Committee was held last Satur-
day at the court house. Sixteen OF the
twenty voting precincts Of the county
were represented and all Of the mem

condition Of things IN their respective
precincts. Among other business
transacted, DR.. 8. A. Proctor was
named as the candidate for coroner,
there being no candidate filed for the
nomination at the August primary.
As several Of the townships of the
county failed at the August primary to
nominate candidates for the Offices Of
constable the committee made up the
following roster OF candidates, some Of
them having also been selected at the
primary election, as was ascertained
when the official precinct returns were
examined to find where candidates had
been nominated and where they had

REPUBLICAN YEAR
SAYS DAWSON

Washington, April Clyde G. Daw-
Denver, is at the New Willard. in
speaking of the political situation to a
Spokesman man this evening, he said:
"With two sets of delegates running
for election to the Chicago Republican
convention, there is discernible in Col
orado no positive sentiment for any
candidate.
81 have tried to discover some pro-
nounced sentiment, but have failed.
1t is settled that the delegates, no mat
ter which side wins, will go to the con
vention uninstructed. There will not
be, however, among the delegates any
progressives. There are no more Pro-
gressives in Colorado, except a dozen Or
more so-called leaders. I have not
found any Republicans who are for
Roosevelt. There undoubtedly are some
who believe that Hughes would be the
strongest candidate, but other men are
spoken of, as, for instance, Senator
Weeks.
sit can be said without much fear
that Colorado will be carried by the
Republicans in the election. There is
general dissatisfaction with the Demo-
Gratis for many reasons. The people
are not pleased with the economic poll
cies of the. administration nor with its
foreign policies. All through the west
the impression is strong that this will
be Republican year, and believe it,"

Dallas, Texas, March 20.-Otto H.
Lang, street commissioner, when asked
by a young man in his department for
a raise, told him he didn't deserve a
raise because he had not done any
work at all during the year. Lang
proved his assertion like this: Each
year has 1856 days. You sleep eight
hours each day, which equals 12s days.
This leaves 243 days. You rest eight
hours each day, which leaves lee days.
This leaves 121 days. There are fifty
two Sundays that you do not work or
Sc days. This leaves 80 days. You
have one.half days OF each Saturday,
or 26 days. This leaves 43 days. You
have one and q half hours each day for
lunch, or 90 days. This leaves 10 days.
You get two weeks vacation each year,
or IA days. This leaves day, and this
being the Fourth Of July We close on
that day, SO you we done no work at all.

FOR THE LOVE OF MIKE

Last Saturday was an eventful day Ia
the history of Craig and Moffat county.
Mike Smith was arrested for violating
the prohibition law. Jack Engle Sc
cured the evidence and made the ar
rest. This was the beginning of the end
of Mike Smith s Twenty Years of Rule
and Ruin in Moffat county. With his
saloon and the money thus secured he
has been able to rule this section and
force his slaves to do immoral acts
through their fear of his power. He
seemed determined that the prohibition
law should not be enforced in that por-
tion of Colorado where he was ruler.
He was very shrewd and cautions and
it was well known that it would take
good shrewd man to get him, but
Jack Engle, who had years of expert
ence in detective work and in the game
department proved to be the proper
man and secured the necessary evidence
Saturday and more Sunday. The case
will probably be tried before Judge
Herrick in the county court. Much in
terest is being taken in the case, both
by the Purity Squad and the Booze
Bottle Bunch. The Empire will proba-
bly, not dare to mention the arrest Of
Mike Smith.-Craig Courier. .r-.

AFTER P1TK1N COUNTY
1dAN0ANEsr

Everybody and his pal are going
daffy over the manganese fields Oh
Snow Mass and large crowd of AS
penites hiked for the rich territory
Sunday to stake out claims. One gem
tleman telephoned this office today that
he had no more chance than rabbit to
get claim as Newton and Anderson
had nailed everything in sight.
For the past forty years it has been
known that manganese abounded along
the picturesque banks of Snow Mass.
Some 46 years ago the @. F. & L.
worked claim about mile and half
below Snow Mass station. They gave
it up later Since then at least 90 diff
ferent fellows have taken a whack -
it. Recently the same claim was re-
located by Anderson and Mize and
leased to Irving Everett ct al. Mr.
Everett says they have about 100 tons
in sight and they hope to clear $25 to
the ton. They will soon make a test
shipment.
The corduroy experts tell US the fol
lowing about Manganese:
"There is manganese and manganesa;
one for use in the manufacture of glass
and paints, the other in hardening
steel. If the ore contains no silica,
sulphur or phosphorus it is very va!ua.
BILE, but any of these serve as a PEN
atty and cut the valuation. The diox.
ide form free of silica, sulphur and
phosphorus is worth about 5000 ton;
the monoxide form free of these pen
atty elements, is worth about 5000 per
hundred pounds"
Let us hope the Snow Mass mangan-
ese is the very best.
We sure need something like that to
liven things up bit.-Aspen Times.

went with 1t.
Piranhas was town Of mud plas-
tered against barren cliff. 1t made
no pretense. to being alive. Here a
dead man could live in peace with his
surroundings. From fifteen miles up
the river came the rumble of the
mighty Paulo Alfonso lalls, singing
perpetual requiem. Gerry established
himself in hovel of an inn that even
in this far retreat did not dare call
itself hotel. e.f-
The only industry In Piranhas was
the washing of clothes and the women
did that. Fish were caught in great
quantities but fishing was not an in
dustry. Here man fished only when
he was hungry.
Gerry chartered ponderous canoe.
At first he had man to paddle him
UP and down and sometimes across
the wide half-mile of water. But be-
fore long he learned to handle the
thing himself. The heavy work soon
trimmed his. splendid muscles into
shape. He supplied the hostelry with
a variety of fish.
One morning he awoke earlier than
usual. The wave of life was running
high in his veins. He sprang up and,
still in his pajamas, hurried out for
his morning swim. The break of day
was gloriously chilly. A cool breeze,
hurrying up from the sea, was stead
lily banking up the mist that hung over
the river. Gerry sprang into his canoe
and pushed off. He drove its heavy
length up stream, not in the teeth of
the current, for no man could do that,
but skirting the shore, seizing on the
help of every eddy and keeping an eye
out for the green swirling mound that
meant pinnacle of rock just short
Of the surface. He went farther up
the river than ever before. His mus
cles were keyed to the struggle. He
passed the last jutting bend that the
boatmen on the river could master and
found himself in a bay protected by
spit of sand, rock-tipped and foam
tossed where it reached the rivers
channel. From this point the river
was chaos of jagged rocks that
fought the mighty tide hurled from
the falls still miles above.
Gerry ran the canoe upon the shore
and stripped. He stepped on to the
spit of sand. In that moment just to
live was enough. A sharp cry broke
on his astonished ears
Almost at the end Of the tongue of
sand stood girl. Her hair was blow
ing around her slim shoulders. Over
one of them she gazed, startled, at
Gerry. He drew back horribly con-
fused and mumbling apologies that she
could not have understood even If she
could have heard them. Then she
plunged with clean long dive into the
river. But before she plunged she
laughed. Gerry heard the laugh. With
an answering cry he hurled himself
into the water and swan as he had
never swum before.
The girl had farther to go across the
little bay, but she could beat Gerry
swimming and she did. Only she failed
to use her head and, when she found
bottom, started to wade. Wading is
slow work in water waist high. Gerry
stuck to his long powerful stroke. AS
the girl reached the bank the strong
fingers of his right hand closed on her
bare ankle.

sion-sage reflections after the event,
dreamy 81 wonders" that speculated
in the past and in the measure of her
emotions.
Mrs. Lansing sat and listened and
sewed. Her soft brown hair just
touched with gray, her calm face with
its half-hidden strength, her steady
eyes, turned now on Alix, now on her
work, brought peace into the room and
held it there in spite of the disquieting
lack of news of Gerry.
When she spoke at last it was to
say half-shyly, You are stronger than
had thought. believe every woman
at the actual moment of. surrender
feels an impulse of shame and fear.
During that moment desire lets go
of her. It's the last chance that fate
holds out The women who fail to

to burn their bridges hebind them and
then they think they've burned them.
All the circumstances were against
you. There wasn't loophole in the
net. Fate gave you your moment and
you tore your way out"
On the fourth day Alix got up but
on the fifth she stayed in bed. Mrs.
Lansing found her pale and fright
ened. She had been crying.
"Alix," she whispered, kneeling be-
side the bed, "what is it?''
Alix told her amid sobs. "Oh, my
dear" said Mrs. Lansing, throwing her
arms around her, don't cry. Don t
worry. The strength will come with
the need. In the end you'll be glad.
So will Gerry. So will all of u.s."
