I M@ WI0RlDo DiIOdN iSS0dlI0E
Editor Cheyenne RECORD.
DEAR SIR:

OcAn oANs
In expressing my
qualification at the compliment
paid me by the Democratic State
Assembly, and my sincere thanks
to you for your personal designa-
tior for the nomination for At
torney General. l want to call
your attention to few facts re-
garding the record of Democratic
officials during the present ad-
ministration, as well as my quail
ifications for the office to which
l sapire.
Our Republican friends claim
great credit for the financial
showing of the current admins
tration and at their state assem-
bly, passed strong resolutions com
mending the administration and
themselves. That showing be-
longs entirely to Democratic offic
ials, The inheritance tax de-
partment created by DemcratIc
officials. The Inheritance tax de-
partment, created by a Demo
cratic legislature, has under my
personal supervisor produced
more than $1,03O, 900 of honest
revenue, which has been gener-
ously wasted by Republican
officials.
Tom lyman, warden of the
state prison, and M. P. Capp,
warden of the state reformatory
both Democrats, have established
national regulations for humane
and economical administration.
Notwithstanding the petty and
continuous harassing of those in
stitutions and their heads by the
present Republican officials. The
state highway commissioner, un-
der whose jurisdiction good roads
in Colorado are becoming a reall-
ty, is a Democrat. The progress
sive educational work and stand
ardization of our schools has been
under the able direction of Mrs.
Mary C. C. Bradford, candidate
on the Democratic ticket for re-
election as state superintendent
of public instruction. The de-
partments for the inspection OF
steam boilers and oils, both reve-
nue. producers for the state, has
been under the direction of DEM
ocratic officials, and notwithstan
ding the fact that their approprl
ations were either vetoed or re-
duced to a minimum by the pres
cut governor, these departments
have been rendering efficient ser
vice to the state. The public
utilities commission was created
by a Democratic legislature. The
majority of the state land board
are Democrats and control the
policy of that board.
The protection OF the water
rights of the citizens OF this state
one of the most vital questions
in Colorado, has been under the
personal direction of Attorney
General Farrar, a Democrat. who
has laid the foundation for the
defense of the states ownership
of the streams within its borders.
This work so splendidly begun,
should be continued under super
vision familiar with it, and II
elected, shall continue the poll
cy of the present attorney gener-
al in respect to the protection OF
these water rights.
During the three and a half
years I have held my present po-
sition as assistant attorney gen.
eral and inheritance tax apprais-
er. T have with q minimum
amount of help. handled and dis
posed of over 5000 estates aud

lars worth of gold in that benz. of

Bessie stood up and faced him,
regular virago, her shattered nerve
tense and quivering.

she cried. For the Lords sake go
and get your gold, you useless old
fool. Go and find it and don't come
back till you've got it.
The old man looked at her, aghast
at the sudden outburst.

on enthusiastically, there's gold in

there certainly ought to be mint of
gold there, if we could only get at it. "
But Bessie had burst out of the
room, crying, and the old man, shak-
ing his head in perplexity, went slow
1y to the clubhouse where he slept.
Edwin" said Bessie later, "the old
man will have to go. That's all there
is to it. He's terrible! Talking about
his gold when heaven only knows
how we're going to live the next year.
And all our money sunk. in this
place" She pressed her lips together
vindictively. 81 won't stand for his
talk of gold!" she cried. Hell have
to go to the poorhouse.
Edwin said nothing, and that even
ing Bessie, all tears and penitence,
begged her husbands forgiveness.
But old Jim Ross had heard, as he
stood uncertainty in the entrance,
where he had come hoping to find
out what the trouble was.
So it was himself! He had never
guessed that he was in the way. De-
spite his years, he had done such
work as was in his power. He had
helped Bessie with the dishes-chat-
tering the while about the gold; he
had talked of pockets" and pro-

bunk in the clubhouse, bordering over
the matter. At last he reached de-
cision. He had spent a hard and
lonesome life, and now, at 80, he was
quite willing to. take up the threads
again.
That morning Bessie and Edwin
found a roughly scrawled note upon
the table.
''Im going, children" it ran. 'I'm
going to leave you for a while until

the little bag of flour and the matches

They stared at each other. The
old man must have been gone long
since; for when they searched the
fiat of the plains he was nowhere in
sight.
''Pn go after him. said Edwin.

him."
But nightfall arrived, and there
was no sign of the old man. Nor on

TOURIST HOTELS TO BE
 BUILT IN ALASKA

In one of the recent articles on Alaska, Frank G. Carpenter the world renowned writer, who visited Cordova a year ago, says that company is being organized to es- sablish big hotels at Skagway, Daw- son, Fairbanks and Seward. These will be for the purpose of accom- modating in first class style the tourists whom they hope to Uteer nortnward. The plan is to adver- tise the trip down the Yukon and up 10 Fairbanks, thence to the coast over the government railroad, With a stopping of 9 few days in each four places above mentioned, so that the visitors may study con ditions and see all the sights.
 While MT. Carpenters article does not state definitely as to when this plan is to be put into execution, the intimation is thai the ho'els will be establshed as soon as the railroad is completed.
 The company is to work in con- junction with the transportation companies and even induce the government to advertise the beau ties Of the trip over the railroad from the interior to the coast. - ] Cordoa Times.

Seattle, Dec. 29-Beginning on January ?, 1917, wreckers will com mence removing to the junk pile all that remains of the famous boom town of Irondale, near Port Town send.
 Several years ago James A. Moore, a Seattle real estate man laid out the townsire and imme- diately started in to sell lots. The town was advertised far and near Huge iron smelters and roller mills, so the advertisement read, would be installed, and great numbers of men employed. The pay roll from the mills alone would be enormous, and people bought the lots. They paid gcod money for the lots. Some people saw the lots and some took the salesmen's words regarding the beautiful view, the fine water sys- tenn that was being installed, and the miles and miles of concrete side walk that was being laid. Those who continued to pay their monthly miscellaneous on the lots until they received their deeds, still have the deeds and the lots. They will al ways have them if they pay the taxes. Yesterday what remains of the great roller mills was pronounc- ed junk, and it was sold as junk to junk dealers who will dismantle the mills and haul it away.
