Don't Fail 10 Vote
AT City Election

Next Tuesday, April 3, is eiec-
tion day, and every taxpayer
every citizen-should go to the
polls and vote. 1t is true there is
only one ticket in the field but
that should not alter your decision
to vote. If you don't vote your
name will be stricken from the
ngistration roll and you will be
compelled to register again before
you can vote at the next election.
This registration business is ex-
pensive. 1t costs the county about
25c to 3Oc to register each voter,
and If only few voters go to the
polls next Tuesday, the expense
to the county will run pretty high.
By voting you take part in
running the city government and
you save the city and county some
money. It's cheaper to vote than
n OF to vote.

Hot Springs Ready
For Improvement


Accommodations for one hun
dred additional guests, and bathing
facilities sufficient to care for two
hundred bathers daily will be
provided in the immediate future
by the Hot Springs Hotel COM
pany. A number of summer
cottages fifty rooms in all-will
be constructed at once along the
east bank of Soda creek, south of
the hotel. These cottages will be
of from two to five rooms in size
and furnish ed with less expensive
equipment than the rooms in the
hotel proper. Each will be pro-
vided with hot and cold running
water, the water to be heated at
the central plant. Easy access
from the cottages to the center
hall of the main building will
make them convenient and de-
sirable. -..
Another improvement to be
made early in the season will be
the enlargement of the dining
room by the construction of a
covered porch addition, lSx7O feet
in size, between the present dining
room and the creek. The French
windo ws, already an attractive
feature of the pretty dining room,
will serve as doors to the addition.
The new porch will have a dancing
floor and will afford ample space
for popular dinner dance s,
especially during the fall season.
The proposed additional stories
to the middle section Of the main
building will not be built this
season, as this construction would
interfere too much with the
hotels business during the sum-
mer. At some future time it is
probable the entire middle section
may be torn out and a modern
fire-proof four story section erected
in its stead. 1t is only matter
of time until such an improve
ment will be warranted, and in
fact absolutely necessary.
The hotel and baths have been
doing capacity business nearly
all winter and the reputation Of
the place has expanded to such an
extent that its future possibilities
have begun t., be realized.

New Drying Machine

A large drying tumbler of the

installed by the Idaho Springs
steam laundry by which wash
ing can be thoroly and scientif-

rietor, says his wet wash business

now be handled much more speedy

A Plea For Colorado

Be proud of our state that widely is known
For her mountains and scenery rare,
Whose valleys produce abundance of foods,
While zephyrs watt purest of air.
Within her confines be found all need,
Her wealth grows greater each year,
By her soil and her mines increasing their yield
She will keep prosperity here
Attention, o people, COLORADO is yours
Her productions are increasing your store.
Be wise and unselfsh give her your support
For she will repay more and more.
She is mid way between the east and the west
Great parks within her embrace,
And tourists find welcome with every DESIRE
For COLORADO'S choice resting place
Do not send abroad for supplies you may need
But confidence show to your state,
Help factories to start and to continue to run.
Save at home what you pay for freight.

Death Claims Old
Pioneer and Soldier

Frederick Wuetig, aged 70, and
for 35 years resident of this
community, died at the Soldiers
Home in Leavenworth, Kansas,
Tuesday, March 26lh. During his
long residence here he was en-
gagged in mining. which he adj
hered to with that grim determin-
alton SO Characteristic of the old
fashioned miner. He was a man
of very quiet and retiring dis
position, attending strictly to his
own affairs and never meddlingwith
those of his neighbors, and by SO
doing he won and retained
the respect and friendship of
hundreds of his fellowmen. Some
time ago his health began to fail
and he went to Florida to spend
the winter, but the change seemed
to do him no good and he came to
Leavenworth and entered the
Home there.
Four sons and one daughter,
Mrs. Robert Wood of this city,
survive him. His remains were
laid at rest in the cemetery at the
Home in Leavenworth.
A young lady of this city went
into dry goods store the other
day and blushingly asked the head
clerk if he "had any of those elas-
tic bands, capable of being elon-
gated and adjusted at pleasure,
and used by the feminine portion
of mankind for putting around the
lower extrerhities of their locomo-
tive members to keep in the proper
position and the required altitude
the habilaments of their tibias."
The clerk is now on sheep ranch.
