WATCHING THE DoLLAR-THEN
TAKE ADVANTAGE.

The Denver Star, in it's effort to
recommend various investments and
enterprises for its own, has carefully
investigated the reports, statements
of the Silver Plume Mining Co. in the
Foster Bldg, and have too, with Mr..
Waller, DR.. Ford and Mrs. Horn, be-
come one of their boosters and well
wishers The Star claims for them
that they show an unusual interest in
trying to put before our people es-
pecially the good investment and the
strong points held by them. Somebody
is going to make money and their
stock is so held up that they cannot
make money unless the company
makes money. Silver is up now
and the latest way Of treating
low grade ore gives us the as
surance that the millions of tons of
low grade ore already mined and
thrown years ago upon the dump will
be very helpful factor in making
this company strong winner-not a
quick winner, but eventually sure
winner, is our belief. The section of
the country near Idaho Springs and
Silver Plume where there have been
few IL any failures, strengthens our
present knowledge that the veins al.
ready uncovered in their tunnel drive
will easily rebound to the substantial
credit in dividends and not so far in
the distance. So we are urging all
who can make investment to consider
the Silver Plume Consolidated Mining
Co. and investigate. Call up and then
do your own thinking. We recommend
the same to you.
IN MEMoRlAM.
In loving memory of Theo. Barker
who departed this life Saturday even
lng, Aug. 9th, 1915:
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still;
A place is vacant in our home
That never can be filed.
He leaves mother, sister and three
brothers to mourn his loss.

COMING AGAiN-BiRrH OF A MA
TION. SEE lF OBJECTIONABLE
FEATURES ARE CUT.


The Star is not gutter. We live
to use judgment and good hard COM
mon sense. Why does this literary
abortion constantly come to Denver
when more visiting Negroes, especial
ly from the South are here this COM
ing week? Is 1t a psychological acct
dent or a studied plan to attempt to
concentrate the attention of the white
community by the great number of
Negroes in the City this week, by
making them believe that the Negroes
have taken Denver and therefore that
we must rush to the City Hall to Jim
Grow" residential districts, to the
State House to pass inter-marriage
laws and placard the city mo Negroes
wanted? The Star has gotten busy
with the Mayor and some of the Al
dermen whom we supported. The N.
A. A. G. P. have also called upon Mr..
Bailey and have asked for the original
six eliminations, which are:
"a The so-called Smell" incident;
(2) the library scene between Stone
mason and Lydia Brown; (3) Many
of the offensive scenes between Stone
mason and Lynch; (D every incident
relating to Gus" including the chase,
the trial and the execution, altho the
girl was seen flying from someone
and leaping to her death; CD the en-
tire scene depicting the attempt of
Lynch to force Stonemason's daugh-
ter into marriage; Co the offensive
incidents attributed to the Colored SOL
diers. These scenes would not act much
as a patriotic stimulant for race men
tn enlist or be drafted into the army.
The Star and the people have pro-
tested and whatever happens in the
future, the blood and responsibility Is
not upon our shoulders, not upon our
hands. (Remember e. ST. LOUISE
Last time Mr.. Bailey turned over
the censoring of the picture of Mrs.
Conway who made a few minor cuts.
The case has been dismissed, the
Mayors hands are united and while
we have every confidence in him, we
are waiting to see just what Mr..
Bailey will do. The Mayor said dis
solve or dismiss the injunction against
the city to the City Attorney or go to
the Supreme Court and the tnjunc-
ton was dissolved. This play comes
again. After its appearance the first
time came the discussion and presen-
tation of the segregation ordinances;
after the appearance the second time
Senator VIM. r. Eaton introduced an
inter-marriage law in legislature, all
actions closely allied and incident to
the propaganda the play is supposed
to create and perpetuate. The ulti-
mate aim after many Negroes are here
from the South is to cultivate senti-
ment now to have Jim Crow Schools"
which mean Jim Grow" everything.
Negroes your houses are on fire. II
you want to down this sentiment, let
every Negro in Denver give dollar
to the N. A. A. c. p. to fight an Or
ganized society with its own weapons.
1t takes money and then more money.
He who wants freedom must not only
fight for 1t but pay for 1t.

in Alaska is the building and mainte- nance of the roads and trails. Practi- cally all of the wagon roads and sled roads of the territory have been built by the government, and S2,000.000 or $3, 900, 900 have been spent in this way within the past 12 years. The appro- priations of Congress for road building now amounts to something like $100,- 900 per annum, and. in addition to this, about S200,000 more Is annually gotten from the Alaska fund collected in licenses and other fees 65 per cent of which is set aside for road building. The roads and trails are under the direction of Col. w. P. Richardson, an officer of the war department who has long served in Alaska. At present theresare 862 miles of wagon road, 617 miles of sled road and more than 2000 miles of trails
 Road and trail building is the cry ing need of the territory, and it will grow in importance when the railroad from Seward to Fairbanks is completed. The roads will be needed as feeders for the new railways, and it is only by good trails that prospecting can be carried on. The Canadian government is said to handle it's road matters much better than we do. It stands ready at any time to build wagon roads to any new mining camp if the output prom ises to pay The roads of the Yukon territory are better today than those of Alaska.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-01-14

The construction of these telegraph
 and cable lines was undertaken as
 military necessity. and 1t seems to he :;
 mistake of the government in that it is
 now trying to operate them at the expense of the territory. The lines
 were first begun in 1900 and up to the
 present time they have cost in the
 neighborhood of $3,O00, 900. The cost of operating them is something like $l0O,000 per year, but this does not in clude the pay of the officers and sol diers. who act as telegraph agents and certain other army expenses, which some of the officers of the govern
 ment say should be charged to this &C., count The real expense is nearly d
 half million dollars a year; and d large amount of this Is borne by the territory. As result the cost of mes sages is excessive The rate from Foir- banks to Seattle is 33 cents a word;
 and, as the minimum message is 10 words. this makes it cost S3.3S to send the shortest telegram out of the coun- l try. If one would send this telegram beyond Seattle, he must pay the usual telegraph rates from that point to the place he wishes to reach. The rates inside the territory vary according to distance. and dispatches range from | 25 cents upward.

ranged much the same as the mails, whereby a 2-cent stamp will carry a letter to any part of our country. This is especially so in Alaska. where the mails are necessarily slow, and the telegraph is the only means of quick communication.
 During my stay at Fort Gibbon l had talk with a young army officer who is now in charge of the telegraph lines and wireless stations of the val ley of the Yukon. I refer to Lieut. L. T. Mason. who has served in the Phil ippines and elsewhere, and who, for the past two or three years, has been the chief signal service officer in that part of Alaska
 Lieutenant Mason's district covers many thousand square miles. reach ing all along the Yukon from the Can adian boundary to Boring sea and in- cluding Nome and the Seward penin- sula. large part of this territory is periodically visited by him. Last winter he took one trip of several thousand miles, travelling by dog team over the ice and snow. He first went to St. Michael. near the mouth of the Yukon, and thence over to Nome On his return he went up to Fairbanks and from thence to Eagle, near the Canadian frontier, and then drove down on the ice of the Yukon to Fort Gibbon.
 This trip took more than four months, and the whole of 1t was on sled or on foot During the journey to Nome Lieutenant Mason used a sled only and later had a combination of toboggan and sled. The difference between the two is that sled has runners, while the toboggan has a flat bottom which slides over the snow His team consisted of seevn dogs and he had only one man along with him. During my talk with Lieutenant Ma son l asked him how he stood the in- tense cold. He replied:
 The weather was not bad, and we made 1t rule not to travel when the thermometer fell to more than 40 de- grees below zero. We slept either in the roadhouses along the way OF in a camp tent which we carried with usa We could usually make an Indian hut or a road station every night and, as a rule, we got along we'll"
 "Is there much of Alaska that cannot be reached by telegraph?''
 NO None of great importance. We have now lines along the Yukon, ex- cept between Kaltag and Kotlik, and we nave recently put in a radio station there. The upper part of the Yukon is covered by the radio. or wireless We have about 1900 miles of line, I should say, in this district
 What kind of telegraph operators do the soldiers make?" I asked.
 "Very good; and they seem to like the job. The most of those we have now have been for sometime in the service. They get extra pay and usual ly stay for their full term of four years. Some would stay longer if pos sib1e. As for me, I would rather be in the active service of the army. But it is all in the days york;
 "Is there any difference in the ease of sending telegraph messages in Alaska over that of warmer coun- tries?'
 T think not" replied Lieutenant Mason, "as far as the telegraph lines are concerned. As to wireless messages, they are more difficult to send on ac- count of the static electricity in the air
