PROCLAMATION
September l, Is

September l, 1917.
That the ctate of Colorado may
maintain tn high place which her re-
sources and the patriotic spirit of her
citizens SO justly merit, and that she
may best sezve the nation ald our
people in this grave hour, it is neccs-
sary that her resources b. so mar
shaled and-Organized as to be most
effective. The manufacturing inter
ests Of this state are among those of
vital importance. To become Elective
organization and cooperation are i'm
perative and justify the calling to-
gether in convention the manufactur-
ers of this commonwealth.
A committee of representative cit
izens of the state, under appointment
of your governor, recently visited
Washington, D. c., in the interest of
Colorado. That committee, in coop
Grafton with the special representative
of the Denver Manufacturers AsSoci-
alton, did effective work, especially in
pre"enting the vast resources Of our
state. This preliminary work must
be pursued vigorously and persistent
ly to bring desired results. This can
be attained only by earnest concerted
action among our citizens.
Therefore, /, julius C. Gunter, gov
ernor of Colorado, do hereby request
the various manufacturing enter
prises of this state to send 4 repre-
scntctive to a conference to be held
N Denver in the house of representa-
tives at 2:3O o'clock Tuesday aftsr-
noon, September 1S, for he purpose
of effecting such organization among
our manufacturers, discussing the
questions which concern them and our
people and bringing about the coop
Grafton which national end state con-
ditiors demand.
Respectfully,
JULIUS C. GUNTER,
Governor.

Lamar Wins from Fort Lyon

The strong Fort Lyon ball team
came down to Lamar last Sunday and
met defeat at the hands of the fast
aggregation now wearing the Lamar
uniforms. The team here has been
greatly strengthened since the open
ing of the season, and Manager
Rhodenbaugh now claims his team to
be the strongest in the valley, and is
willing to play anything that ccn be
put in the field against him. Ths
game last Sunday was a fine one for
seven innings, the score being to
in favor Of Lamar. The visitors then
went to pieces and the next two in
nings were a foot race for Lamar
boys, the final score being IT to 6 in
favor Of Lamar. The two teams play
again next Sunday at Fort Lyon. Ths
patronage last Sunday WIS not gufh-
cient to pay expenses, ard the clasn Of
ball the Lamar boys are playing do
serves better support.

Chicago's Disgrace
Governor.

It certainly is a shame to have the
second largest city Of the country and
the one that has always been consider
ed typically American in charge Of a
mavor who is at heart as much an
enemy of the country as the Kaiser
himself. We believe the President at
this crisis would be perfectly justifi-
able in ordering his arrest and dis
missal from office.

CENSUS OF ROAD TRAFFIC
The Traffic Over the Roads Leading
Into Lamar Proves To Be OF
Enormous Volume During
August

At the request of the state highway
commission the county commissioners
had census taken of the traffic over
the roads of Prowers county for the
month of August at several different
points to see just how much they were
being used. We print below the re-
port in full for the bridge nor.h Of
Lamar and the D-C-D highway a. the
south edge of Lamar, also the totals
for the other points. Some Of these
figures will startle our people as to
the volume of travel hero now. That
practically twenty Thousand vehicles
with fifty-five thousand pcopl, In
them came across the north bridge In
one months seems almost unbeliev-
able, but as these figures are only OBJ
tanned in daylight, and as there is
much of the travel goes after dark,
it will be seen that even these figures
are far short of the actual facts.
The new D-C-D highway is proving
the big drawing card that it was pre-
dicted it would be also, and the traits
over it has been very heavy. Over i've
thousand cars with nearly fourteen
thousand people passed over it during
the daylight hours of the month Of
August. The auto Of course is far
in the lead as a means of road travel
now, but the one and two horse ve-
hivles still take quite conspicuous
place in the totals, and ere yet u pop
ular method Of travel by thoucands Of
our citizens. Ono very noticeable fea-
ture of the tables is the even distri-
button of the traffic, the figures for
each day running very close together.
The average of 141.6 Of foreign autos
each day will indicate just about what
is the number of the tourist cars pass
ing through Lamar.
The average CT 22.2 Of foreign cars
on the D-C-D highway is very en-
couraging when it is considered tina,
the road was just opened last winter,
and much of it is only beginning to
be worked. No log had been issued
until a month ago, and many of the
tourists still Travelled the old route.
All indications point to a big increase
of tourist traffic over this route in the
years to come, as it has been rapidly
on the increase every month since II
was first opened up.
The number of cars passing over
the Santa Fe Trail for the month Of
August is about on par with the re-
ports of the traffic on the two northern
routes into the state AID indicate that
close to one hundred thousand tourist
cars will visit the state from the cast
this season, and as the average load
is about three according to he figures,
it will be seen that something like
three hundred thousand visitors have
come to the state by auto alone.

IDAHO: EvADA.
Drifting Will Soon Start on Ore Shoot
Recently Encountered.

After cutting fully two and half
feet of good copper ore west of the
shaft in the Idaho Nevada, the cross
cut was continued and has now reach
ed the footwall, which will be pene-
trated considerable distance in or
der to satisfy the management that 1t
is the true wall When this is accom-
plished the present contract will have
been completed, and drifting west viii
be started under days pay, following
the ore. This seems to be the same
shoot that was encountered near the
shaft, and gives promise of proving OF
great value. The ore appears to be
from 6 to 10 per cent copper, and new
and highly interesting feature is the
appearance of considerable lead. 1t
has long been the opinion of expert
enced mining men that lead would pre-
dominate in the Idaho Nevada vein
with depth, and the present showing
seems to bear out that theory and 1t
seems possible that considerable
of lead may be developed on
this level, which is at a depth of 200
feet below the main tunnel.

OLD CHARLES DICKENS.
Loss of Compressor Will Not Seriously
Delay Operations.

The blowing up of the compressor
recently at the Old Charles Dickens
mine, on Moon creek, near Osburn,
will not interrupt operations at the
property, according to a statement by
A. d. Gritman, manager. A new COM
pressor has been ordered and should
be in running order within two weeks.
Speaking Of the condition at the mine
Mr.. Gritman says:
While the mill has been working
only one shift we have been working
two shifts on the drift. The drift has
been run nearly 500 feet east from the
shaft on the 400-foot level and is still
In ore. which is getting better in grade

Is inches of steel galena in the face.
How wide the ore is we will not

BILE us to put the workings in better

tn week. During the past few weeks
nothing has been done in the way Of
underground work, all the energies of
the company being directed toward
laying a pipe line for a new water
power supply before bad weather
forces suspension of outside work.
The line will be 5000 feet long and will
take the water from the st. Regis riv-
r. The trench to receive the pipe has
been dug the entire distance, and it
surface of the ground, making the
depth at one place IA feet and at many
other places the depth was much
greater than would have been neces-
sary had the surface been more uni
form. The upper end Of the line will
be wood pipe 16 inches in diameter.
Below that will be metal pipe, first II
inches in diameter and then 10. The
metal pipe was secured from the Deer
Creek Mining company, together with
a great amount of other material and
that will be Of use in the
operation of the mine. 1t is expected
that all this pipe will be delivered
within the next week or 10 days and
If weather conditions remain favor
able for three weeks Mr.. Everett says
he will have the pipe in place and
covered up. This wafer supply to-
sether with the old power plant will
provide power for all purposes excerpts
in the driest season. The
lew pipe line will have a fall of $50
'eet With the pipe line completed,
development work will be resumed"
