Paris, Sept. 7.~-During the recent American advance out of Chateau Thierry, a Red Cross captain was looking about for suitable hospital sites when he met an American negro soldier marching along toward Cha teau-Thierry, following closely be- hind a German major. The negro had transferred his pack from his own back to the back of the German officer. and had also transferred the German majors monocle to his own eye. Thus equipped the black war rior was parading triumphantly down the road. As he passed the Red Cross captain he called out:

BULLETIN

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is, 1915
Every electric light and power
plant in Washington, New York,
Boston and Philadelphia was des-
troyed at midnight.
Fifty per cent of the industries
of the country are paralyzed for
lack of electric power.
These cities are without trans
portation for their industrial
workers, food distribution, Office
help and other labor forces.
No electricity is available, nor
can any be made available for
lighting, transportation or mechan-
ical power for the remainder of
the year, as it will take at least
four to six months. in the opinion
of experts, to rebuild and equip
the electric light plants.
One of Germany's most power
full allies is represented in the des-
truction of these public utilities,
for the production of munitions
and war materials has ceased"
Would a report like this, if
authentic, make all Germany
shout for joy?
1t would.
A condition as described above,
tho in lesser degree, can be brought
about by the continued refusal of
the public to harken to the words
of President Wilson with reference
to keeping the public utilities at
their maximum efficiency.
Maximum efficiency" means
"Solvency." Solvency means "in-
creased rates."-Advt.

Well Under Way

According to returns received
Friday by w. J. Woodward, about
81 $50 had been given or pledged
in the War Work campaign being
carried on in this city. What has
been accomplished in the upper
end of the county is not known at
this time, but there in no reason
to believe that that section will be
able to raise more than their quota.
We are now $3.50 short for our end,
and may be called upon to assist
the upper end in making the total
of $4,000 for the county. Monday
will be the last day of the drive.
A gift OF $25 for the United War
Work came unsolicited from the
Big Five management.
D. A. Barry gave $25, DR.. Fraser
gave like amount. and the Colo
RADIO Power company contributed
$50. The banks have not yet been
solicited.
People generally are giving in
good spirit as an expression of
joy over the closing of the war,
and of appreciation of the wonder
full work of our boys over there.

George E. McClelland was a

Wednesday.
Judge John A. Wilkins of Idaho
Springs came up Tuesday to assist
in canvassing the vote cast at the
election of November 5. There
were 81 votes cast by mail, making
a material difference in some of
the majorities as reported.
Charles Hancock was up during
the week attending to business of
the Colorado Power company.
Word came to Mrs. James
Bowen Wednesday of the death of
her daughter Mrs. Charles Smith
in Kingman, Arizona, of influenza.
Miss Helen Berg, who has been
in Denver for some time, has re-
turned to spend the winter in
Georgetown.
The ban has been lifted by our
board of health, and churches,
schools and movie shows are run
ming. It feels good to be free
again, as the hermit life one had
to lead was rather trying to those
socially inclined. ''
The signing of the armistice
was the cause of much rejoicing
in Georgetown. The uncertainty
incident to the war has disappear
ed, and people are planning for
the future when America will be-
come the financial center of the
world.
On Saturday. November 16, there
will be special funeral service for
the departed members of the Cath
Ole church. Friends of the de-
ceased are requested to attend.
Requiem high mass will be sung
ate a. m.
Mrs. Nan Garrison and children
of Golden are spending few days
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
T. w. Cunningham.
Mrs. NJ. Sidney has been elected
librarian by the public library
board. She takes the place of
Mrs. Wilcox, who recently left for
Pit:sburg, Pa, where she expects
to make her home with her daugh-
ter.
Franklin Lane of the presidents
cabinet urges people not to relax
in the war work, which must be
continued for many months to
come.
1t is expected that the air pipe,
cars and switches now being man
ufactured in Denver will be put
into place in the Hall tunnel in
the near future; after which de-
velopment of veins already inter-
sected will be vigorously pushed.
Weather conditions in East
Argentine have been such that
work has been suspended in
number of properties. 1t is an-
ticipated that with the opening of
spring work will be resumed on a
scale that is bound to cause parties
in search of good mining PROPOSE
tons to rush to this district.
People wonder why mining is
not prosecuted more vigorously.
When we stop to consider that a
single rnund of holes consumes
about. go worth of powder, fuse
and caps, in addition to the ex-
cessive cost Of labor and supplies,
it can readily be seen that the

only too glad to accept days pay

fortunes were made on leases in
