STILL Ao,rAr,Na CONSOLIDATION

From the following communication
sent to the Idaho Springs Siftings- News
by Henry I. Seeman regarding the con-
solidation Of Gilpin and Clear Creek
counties 1t will be seen that Mr.. See
mann has the same idea of few 9TH
ers who have not gone into the PROPOSE
tion thoroughly. He contends that q
consolidation would effect big saving
Of money in the elimination of one
county government, but In this he does
not take into consideration that a GER
tain number Of officials is required to
do the work whether the counties are
separate or together. One set Of COM
missioners might be dispensed with and
little saving made here and there, but
everything considered. the saving would
be too small to warrant the inconven-
ience a consolidation would involve:
Denver. Colo. Nov. 26th, 1918.
The Siftings-News,
Idaho Springs, Colo.
In your issue Of November 22nd, you
have an article entitled 'County's Pop
ulation. Placed at $780," The official
census 9of 1910 according to your paper.
gives it at 5001. and that instead of In
creasing the population these past eight
years. Clear Creek county has gone
back 17o1 souls. The same conditions
exist in Gilpin county. only probably in
a greater or lesser degree. According
to your figures. the population of Gil
pin county was placed at 100 or about
one-half Of what it was in 1910. There
is no mistake that the two counties are
going backward. How long this retro
grade movement will last no one knows.
While, the population may again increase
If mining becomes active. yet It is
doubtful because people who have been
living in Clear Creek and Gilpin coun-
ties will probably seek still greener
fields. But this IL not written to dis
courage the dwindling population or the
mining industry, or anything else. This
article is written for the particular pur-
pose Of continuing the agitation which
was started In The Gilpin Observer
some few weeks ago. This matter
should not die out, new life must be
brought into this 80 very important
subject of consolidating at least the two
counties Of Gilpin and Clear Creek. The
population of the two counties cannot
afford to hold and pay two separate adj
mtnistrations. By q combination, the
expense should be cut almost in half.
and do hope that the business men
and the mining contingent will take
this up and push this consolidation
proposition without further loss Of time,
and I certainly shall do my level best
to assist any body or bodies that will
undertake strong move in favor of
such a movement as something must be
done to cut down the taxes because II
we continue going backward, there won't
be anybody to pay the taxes. nor would
anybody care to buy up tax deeds.

llNCE POWER OF |. $. LEAPS UP
16 of t6 Plants Prepared for Turning Out Big Guns

Washington, Aug 2.-The Army Ordnance department announces the completion of Is of the 16 gun plants for the forging and machining of can- non. The sixteenth plant is 85 per cent complete.
 In the edection of these plants the Government has expended $34,768,- 297.
 It wsa necessary to provide these plants as a preliminary to the production of but one one part of a complete gun which in rludes, besides the body or barrel, carriage and a complicated recuperat- or and recoil system.
 All sixteen plants now are producing cannon or cannon forgings for mobile artillery from 1 1-2 inch (the 37 m.m. ''anti-tank gun'') to 10 inches. No percentages of completion and Installation on the Neville Island plant bf the U. S. Steel Corporation, the S30.00O,O ,OOO project for the manufac~ lure of siege guns, funds for which became available last month, are giv- en in the Ordnance announcement.
 Process in the foregoing and ma chining of cannon so differ from ordi- nary commercial practices of peace times in this country that the Gov ernment was obliged to build the six Ioen plants from the ground up and So equip them with machinery, much Of which had to be designed especial ay for this work.
 The production of cannon involved Ehe creation of new industry The hIidvale and Bethlehem companies were the only plants of any size out z n N1E Tor the manufacture of Army guns in quantities, and Midvale was largely Mtlized for Navy work.
 The requirements for Ordnance Were so great that Midvale and Beth lehem could not take care of the pro- 5uction needed. It was necessary for the Army Ordnance Departm ent Immediately to erect and equip large number of new plants for cannon. Thc organization and facilities for khese were taken from factories that had been successfully engaged in the production of various types of equip nent ranging from railway appliances Tn high grade machine tools.
 While none of these companies had aver been engaged in ordnance manu- rac+ure. all have successfully met the ,-ieid ,-erTuirements and are today pro- al
 aucing material which is the equival- ent of the best products of the prdnance companies of Great Britain and France.
 The building of the sixteen plants etarted as soon as funds became avail able-in July, 1917--and progressed 80 rapidly that machinery was in operation and actual operations on cannon in progress. in January, 1918. One plant, the site of which was q rnvine in August, 1917. had completed It's first inch hOWitZer in February, h9lS-scven months later.
 Construction of almost all of the p ants was delayed by weather cOndi- lions, traffic delays, and the pressure Dn the machine tool industry, upon which heavy demands were beinS made by many departments of the Eovernment, including the Navy and he emergency Fleet Corporation, Tn 2 Ordnance Department was forced ta R'ait it's turn.
 Typical Of the weather conditions Eh at delayed constructor was tn Forming of two feet of ice in the wooden forms into which cement was being poured for the foundation of a Aasg@eprsss- aesone Of the plants IA

DIR, CLINTON J. HYDE THE PRICE YOU PAY


 1T know I ought to take treatment; I have been running down for the last year or two. I am all Jagged out, have no ambition, worry from morn ing till night, don't care whether I am dead or alive, have lost weight and cannot do the same work l used to do some years ago. If I were as strong as I was, I could earn good d good specialist, but I cannot afford money. I know 1 ought to treat with to pay for the treatment.'
 You are paying for it NOW, my friend, and dearly; yet you do not get it.
 Let mo tell you why.
 Your health Is your capital; your working capacity is the interest you are drawing.
 A good manager never spends more than his interest.
 Should he begin to draw on the capital his interest would, of course, decrease.
 And what are you doing?
 You allow your health to run down more and more; therefore, you can- not work and earn what. you used to. Do you see the point? You are draw ing on your capital--Which Is your health-by allowing it to run down, and so the interest (your working capacity) is steadily growing smaller You used to make good money; now you earn about half of what you used to get.
 To make two, three or four dollars was play to you; and you had all your heart and soul in your work.
 These happy days are gone. You now barely make a living and find it almost beyond your strength. And you shudder at the thought of what will happen when the final breakdown comes. Figure out in dollars and cents what you have lost already and you will be amazed at the amount; and what you are gong to lose is beyond estimation. The dollar you MIGHT earn, but don't, is an actual expense to you. You spend it. And what do you get i for it. Worry, anxiety, despondency, 1 want and deprivation for your family. The dollar you take out of your 1 pocket and spend for treatment with an experienced specialist is not an l expense. 1t is an investment. And in 1 return you get increased working | ability, higher wages, health and hap ! piness at home.
 Which will you choose? Can you hesitate?
