CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED FOR
SALE OF End LIBERTY BONDS

Once more a small portion of
the burden of war has fallen to
Clear Creek county and we are
called upon to do our duty. This
time it is the Second Liberty
Loan of 1917. The government
is not asking us to contribute but
to lend money and get 4 per cent
interest. The safety is superlative.
The government promises to give
you your money back, and the
promise is signed by all our ITO
million people, including the sig
nature of every multimillionaire
in America. Your bond is like
mortgage on the whole United
States. There can be no tax on
the bonds as long as you live, on
any purchase not over $1,000.
Edward q. Klahr of Denver was
here last Monday to launch the
campaign in this county, and in a
forceful, patriotic way put the
proposition up to US. We must
do something. If we were to do
our pro- rata share. according to
population, this county would
purchase over $l5O,OOO worth of
the bonds, but that is hardly to
be expected. We should, how

HOW WOULD CITY DO WITH

1t was lucky day for Idaho
Springs way back there in 1850,
thirty seven years ago, when
Elwood M. Moscript landed in
Idaho Springs, for he has been a
factor in the city's development
ever since.
It's peculiar thing, sometimes,
how men happen to locate for life,
and the story of Mr.. Moscript' S
arrival in Idaho Springs is very
interesting. He had been farming
IN Kansas, crops were poor, prices
were low and times were very hard.

Presented With $500
Life Membership

In appreciation of his services
as one OF the messengers who
carried the Midland Trail des-
patches last August, Charles A.
Woodward of this city has been
presented with life membership
in the National Highways and
Good Roads association, valued at
500.
Mr.. Woodward was one of the
chief contributors to the success
of the initial demonstration, his
part of the trip being over the
mountains between Idaho Springs
and Glenwood Springs on the
long trip from Washington, d, c.,
to San Francisco, where the i'm
portant army documents reached
their destination in considerably
less time than if sent by mail over
the various railroads necessary.
A solid gold association pin and
silver eagle which Mr.. Wood
ward proudly carries on the radia-

and Mr.. Woodward can well feel
proud of his participation in the
important historical event.

STREET RAILWAY WILL
DOUBLE TRACK MAIN
Improvements Broad in Scope
Are Begun at Intersection
of Main and Third.

The disrupted condition at the in
tersection Of Main and Third means
more improvement OF the line OF the
Tulsa Street Railway company, and
better service, according to Manager
McGrath who is supervising the in
stallation OF an $1,000 double-track
turnout at that point.
Working day and night, three shifts
OF workmen are tearing up the pave
ment and tracks at that point in order
that the new turnout can be installed.
Electric lights have been strung all
along over the job. and thruout the
night for several days the work VIII
continue in order to install the equip
ment, repave the street and thus In
terfere with automobile traffic as little
as possible.
This installing ofthis piece of i'm
provement Is but one OF the many
things which Manager McGrath In
tends to do at once, he declared yes
terday. As soon AS the work at Main
and Third Is completed, the men will
be placed at work in tearing up the
pavement northward on Main TO make
way for double trackage system on
that line.
with these two pieces OF improve
ment in, It will be possible to operate
thru service on all north and south
and east .rd west lines, without the
customai . turn-back or trolley re-
verses which have cause so much
congestion on the Main and Third
streets intersection and which was one
of the causes for the action on the
part OF the city administration in call
ing for drastic measures to bring about
an improvement of the lines.
"Tulsans are no better pleased 10
see this bit of improvement going IN
than are We" he declared yesterday

officials of the Chamber of Commerce

centrated on the vigorous and rapid

We can do this with all the greates

Corruption and destruction The pur-
poses Of the central powers strike
straight at the very heart of every
thing we believe in; their methods o.
warfare outrage every principle OF
humanity and OF knightly honor; their
intrigue has corrupted the very thot
and spirit of many of our people; their
sinister and secret diplomacy has
sought to take our very territory away
from us and disrupt the union OF the
states. Our safety would be at an
end, our honor forever sullied and
brought into contempt were we to per-
nit their triumph. They are striking
at the very existence of democracy and
liberty. 1t is because 1t Is for us q
war Of high, disinterested purpose. in
