Metal Miners Seek
Exemption from..Service

Fearing that Colorado's pro-
duction of metals needed by the
government for war purposes will
be decreased if men in the mines
are compelled to do military duty,
the Colorado Metal Mining as
sociation seeks to induce the
government to exempt from mill
tary service all employees of the
metal producing industries.
All the western states will be
joined in the petition, which will
be presented by Congressman Ed
ward Taylor to Barney Baruch,
chairman of the subcommittee on
metals of the council of national
defense.
The metals most needed by the
government which are in danger
of a shortage are copper, lead, zinc
and tungsten. There is already
serious shortage of men, and in
many places development work has
already been abandoned, and this
will mean a big decrease in pro-
duction next year.

Red Cross Dance
Proves Large Affair

Patriotism of the county's people
together with the combined energy
of the Red Cross Ways and Means
committee. produced dance and
dinner amazingly successful from
a financial standpoint. at the Opera
House Wednesday night. Hun.
dreds of dancers from all over the
county thronged the hall until a
late hour, and with comfortable
room and good music, enjoyed
themselves to the fullest
The committee who had spared
no time to make thorough sue
cess of the occasion were Mesdames
Underhill, Machol, Spragu e
Stewart, Misses Helen Marihugh
and Gretchen Lyon. Throughout
the evening, at the dance and at
the dinner served at the Midland
restaurant, the committee were
attired as Red Cross nurses in
uniforms which were immense y
becoming.
A special train brought fifty OF
more people from Silver Plume
and Georgetown, while many came
by auto from Empire, Alice, Golden
and other points.
1t is not yet known just what
the net earnings for the Red Cross
We're, as complete returns from
tickets placed on sale in different
parts of the county have not yet
been received, but it is quite safe
to say they will be over $500

william L. Bush Goes,
To Trust Co. In Denver

The Interstate Trust company of
Denver has secured the services of
William l.. Bush, until recently
president of the First National
bank of Idaho Springs, and he will
begin his association with the
Denver financial institution July l.
Since Mr. Bush disposed of his
interest in the First National bank
in March and severed his con-
nection with that institution, his
friends have been predicting it
would not be long until he was
back in the banking business, for
he is yet young man and the
banking business is his chosen
work. His connection with the
Interstate Trust company will be
in an official capacity-perhaps the
cashiership or vice. presidency.
He will be actively engaged in the
operation of the banks business
and will give his undivided time to
it. He has purchased block of
the banks stock.
The Interstate Trust company is
one of Denver's newer financial
| institutions, but is well established
and shows thrifty growth. Its
capital is $500, 900, surplus $50, 600.
The deposits now reach the sum of
two and a quarter million, showing
a gain of 100000 since May, 1916.
Its officers include a number of
Deiver's soundest and most con-
servative business and financial
men. The location is at Fifteenth
and Stout streets, but the bank
will eventually remove to its ow
building, the Continental building
at Seventeenth and Lawrence
streets.
While Mr.. Bush is to be con-
graduated on his success in as.
sociating himself with the right
kind of people of Denver, were
the opportunities for future de-
velopment are manifold, his friends
in Idaho Springs feel that the
Interstate Trust company has
done exceedingly well to secure
the services, the cooperation, and
the influence of Mr.. Bush. He is
jdst the kind of banker they need
to assist them in caring for the
continual growth and for the pro-
motion of the development of the
banks business in the capital city
where the possibilities of such an
institution are practically un-
limited.
Mr.. Bush has not yet disposed
of his home here, and does not
plan the removal Of the family to
Denver until sometime in August.

Central City Wedding

"Perry E. Williams and Miss
Marguerite Gibson were married
in Central City, Sunday June third.
Rev. Coffman officiating. The
ceremony was performed at the
home of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Jacob Franks, and was at
tended only by relatives and few
intimate friends. The wedding
is the elimination of romance
started several years ago while
the bride was attending the State
Teachers college and the groom
studying law at Boulder. The
bride was born and raised in this
city, graduating from the local
high school with the class of IL,
and two years later from the State
Teachers College at Greeley.
The groom was born in Golden
and at present is engaged in prac-
ticing law at Rocky Ford, Colo,

Words of Appreciation

The Ways and Means Committee
of the Idaho Springs Red Cross
Branch especially desire to thank
all those whose work and hearty
cooperation made the Red Cross
Dance and Supper such an un-
qualified success. In an affair Of
this kind when so many individuals
have given SO literally both in
effort, time and money: it is i'm
possible to mention all by name,
but there are certain organizations
without whose help the efficiency
of the results would have at least
been greatly curtailed. Among
these, we are indebted to the Opera
House Association, the Idaho
Springs Orchestra for the hall and
music, Mr.. Joseph Penesh for the
loan of his restaurant, to the Or
ganization of the Hot Springs
hotel under Messrs. Witt and
Brown, and the Club hotel under
Mr.. Holland, for perfectly
systematized kitchen and dining
room arrangement, resulting in one
of the best suppers ever served in
Idaho Springs. Finally we have
to thank our friends from Silver
Plume, Georgetown, Empire,
Lawson and Dumont, whose char
tering of a special train, and
liberal patronage, together with
the assistance of other friends
from Golden and Alice, made the
dance and supper mark red letter
date in the history of Clear Greek
county's achievement.

To Enforce Collection
OF Military Poll Tax

Owing to the increased military
requirements and the shortage of
funds for the adequate equipment
of the state militia, the governor
has urged that the officers charged
with the collection of the military
poll tax leave nothing undone to
secure all the revenue possible
from this source.
County Treasurer Harry L.
Roberts has received his instruc-
tions from the Colorado Tax Com.
mission to proceed at once to col
lect the poll tax assessed as shown
by the roll turned over by the
county assessor.
Those who are on the tax roll
now, but who will in all proba-
bility not be in the county on the
first of January next, will be pro-
ceeded against as soon as the
assessor can supply the treasurer
with list of names of uc h
individuals.
In past years the efforts to col
lect the poll tax, especially from
those who were paying no property
tax, was rather lax, but tho word
has now gone forward to get the
money, and Treasurer Roberts
will be obliged to get busy without
fear or favor. By enforcing the
collection thruout the state Colo
RADIO can most readily provide the
proper equipment of its quota of
soldiers now urgently needed.

''Chalet" Is New Name
, For Old TrOcaderO

The Trocadero is no more. In
its stead we have "The Chalet,
thank you. "Chalet" is French
name-pron unced sh ala y
meaning mountain hut. The
Chalet of the Hot Springs
hotel, however, will be something
better than a mountain hut, for
the old Trocadero, where during
the past fifteen years many an
enjoyable evening was spent in
dancing, is being transformed into
a pretty annex to the hotel proper,
and will have fourteen nj e
spacious bed rooms, with hot and
cold running water in modern
washstands, and each room pro-
vided with large private porch.
The furniture will be in keeping
with the high class of the hotel
itself.
SO the old Trocadero is no more,
and in its place we will have The
Chalet. All hats off to The
Chalet.
