One of the biggest snowslides to oc-
cur in Eagle river canon in years came
down the side of Battle mountain just
above Belden last Friday. Fortunately
there was nothing in its path that
could be damaged to any extent. Hum
dreds of tons of snow was piled on the
westbound track of the D. & R. q.
railroad, and the force of the slide
piled snow up on the eastbound track
on the other side of the river. Traffic
was not delayed and the buried track
was cleared within twelve hours.-Red

turn Wednesday arranging for his
church service here. Mr.. Bergen has
been working night shift at the Min
turn round house for some time, in ad-
dition to his duties as pastor of the
Red Cliff and Minturn churches. Mr.
Bergen is human to the extent at least
that he requires material assistance IN
order to hold body and soul together,
and as his congregations failed to furn-
ish this assistance he has been COM
PEELED to resort to the railroad job. 1t
is very poor commentary on the con
grepations of the two churches that
they permit their pastor to do six days
hard work and then expect him to do
good job of looking after his flock
on the seventh day.-Red Cliff News.
The man who handles throttle on
Colorado railroad during the next
few months, and for that matter, mem
bers of train crews generally, have no
sinecures, and it will be surprising if
more than one bad wreck does not oc-
cur. These men no doubt get good
sized pay checks every month, but rail-
roading from now until early next
summer, owing to the tremendous
amount of snow in the mountains, will
be attended with much risk to life and
limb, therefore most people will con-
T clude that the railroad man is more
than welcome to his job. Commercial
men, too, are exposed to considerable
danger and fortunate is the man or
woman who doesn't have to be aboard
train much of the time until after
the conclusion of the 1916 thaw.-Rifle

The Tribune is glad to note that the
sheriff IS office is hot upon the trail ot
old bootlegging offenders of the county,
who are now busy defying the new
prohibition law. Thus far the county
seat, with the aid of the police there,
has been the center of activity, and 10
doubt it is greatly needed, but with the
breaking up of the old gang there the
good work will doubtless be spread
until the chronic violators OF the law
are safe behind the penitentiary bars
from various parts of the county. Mesa
county may not be any worse IN TINS
respect than other parts of the state,
although the newspapers are trying 10
make it apper that violations of the law
are very few and far between, but the
fact that we have sheriff who is mt
afraid to do his duty as an officer OF
the law should be sufficient for US,
while other sections can settle their own
affairs in their own ways.-Palisade

The Rocky Mountain Herald says
Republicans must get together if they
expect to win, at least on the guberna-
torial question:" If that paper were
as anxious for Republican success as it
claims to be, as anxious as it is TO
serve the liquor interests, it would long
since have ceased its attacks on Gov
ernor Carlson. Just now the main Is
sue is the enforcement of the liquor
law and Carlson stands forth as the
main representative of that cause. 10
defeat him would be victory for the
saloon people, no matter if the man
lust as strongly in favor of the enforce
ment of the liquor law were to be elect
ed. The saloon interests are after
Carlson. His defeat would be their
victory. To prevent the accomplish
