Bulletin contained an item which
chronicled the death of Colonel George
E. Lincoln, manager of the Mergen-
thaler Linotype Co. in Chicago, who
February 1S. Colonel Lincoln was one
of the original Missouri river gang"
and whenever one of these old-timers
landed in Chicago they always looked
him up. The Colonel always had time
to have talk with them and send
them on their way with a contribu-
tion in their pockets. He had been
in the employ of the Mergenthal Com
pany over thirty years, being the first,
and for some time, the only sales
man the company had on the road
In 1902 he opened the Chicago agency,
of which he was manager until the
taken to his old home in Philadelphia,

of Colonel Lincoln thruout the Rocky
Mountain region, where he was well
known. having worked here in the

casion to regret his passing away.

ELLIS GREGG OF THE POST
chapel, one of Denver's most pros
porous printer farmers, this week re-
ceived a letter from "Sid" Adair, a
member of Company B, 4th U. S.
Engineers, stationed at Camp Green,
North Carolina. Sid says he is busy,
very busy, preparing in the many diff
ferent details of an army engineer and
expects to get closer to the big quar-
camp life has made practically a new
man of him and that he is in fine
fettle to cope with any emergency
which may arise "over there" He
promises to regale his Denver friends
with a lot of good stories when he re-
turns home, after the big fight is
over 81 am 3-in-l boy at the table
now," he writes, "and our food is fine
in every way. So when | get back
you had better give me time to get
civilized before asking me out to dine,
because the way your bank roll would
be diminished by my appetite might
be embarrassing.
F. R. MCCARTHY, ANOTHER
Denver typo, member of Company (,
14th U. S. Engineers, at Camp Green,
writes Frank j. Pulver, saying that
they expect to leave on short notice
for France and wants to tell the boys
howdy before going over. Anybody
/ who joins the army these days for
restful vacation soon has that idea
knocked into cooked hat" writes
Nc McCarthy. I'VE stand reveille at 6:l5
a. m. and retreat at 4:45 p. m. Be
tween these hours we have nothing
to do but dig trenches, infantry drill
and lots of hard work. 1t seems that
linotype engineer must know all
that any other man in the service
knows and a little bit more, but we
have no kick coming. The exercise is
invigorating, plenty to eat, plenty of
clothes and our officers are just fine.
We live eight in a house-tent, bit
crowded but not as bad as you might
think While we haven't seen any
thing of a linotype machine up-to-
date, each of us typos have been sup
piled with high powered Springfield
rifle, a sharp bayonet, and other es
sentals for blazing our way into Ber-
lin.

JUDGE l.. w. CUNNINGHAM OF
! Colorado Springs, former member of
the State Court of Appeals, is being
prominently mentioned as a prospect
i've candidate for governor in the
Democratic primaries this year. Judge
Cunningham has host of friends in
the Colorado labor movement, having
stood Loyalty with the men of labor
in every conflict during recent years.
He is progressive, constructive man
of high type and would command
large vote not only from labor union
lists, but from every class of citizens
who want to get a divorce from ma
chine politics. There are hosts of 9TH
ers who feel it is about time for the
governorship to be taken over by some
one surrounded by an atmosphere
other than that which circulates ex-
