STILL AHEAD OF MR.. HooVEF

Most loyal Americans are stin a
couple of jumps ahead of Mr. Hoover.
I'D sinvolves no hardship TO ask a
housewife to observe one meatIess
day a week when she already is OBJ
serving two. three or four.
e involves no hardship to ask her
9 observe two porkIess days, when
ne has forgotten the taste Of pork
tpr bacon.
1t involves no hardship to ask her
10 forswear wheat on two days, when
wheat already is barred for three or
four days a week.
The household that has a man in
the service doesn't relish wheat or
pork these days. It's too much like
taking food out of the mouths Of the
men in the camps and in France.
Therefore, Mr.. Hoover'a latest re-
quest doesn't mean anything to
hundreds Of families in Fargo. and
probably the same percentage in the
nation 81 large, They are stan wait-.

clared the draft law is constitu-

power to send troops abroad and

PIONEER OF GiLPIN
AND CLEAR CREEK

In the pioneers, reunion ON Tuesday
was William C. Jolly CT johnson
county, Nebraska, accompanied by
his daughter Mrs. Jos. Glasson and
his great-grandson. Although Mr..
Jolly has not been resident of
Colorado stree the very early days.
ne likes to come back occasionally
to breathe the fir of the, mountains
ard to recount scme of his pioneer
experiences.
Mr.. Jolly lived in Giapin and Clear
Creek counties between 1859 and
1864, coming here from Georgia with
John Gregory and Green Russell,
when these famous gold miners
startled the country by their discov-
cries at Gregory's Diggings and
Russell Cmlch. He was one of the
first ten pioneers to penetrate the
canon between Golden and Gilpin
county.
After Mr.. Jolly had mined success
fully in Russell and Leavenworth
gu1ches he operated a saw min at
Doverville. just a little above Du.
mont, and one of the first things
he does in coming hack to Clear
Creek is to go to the little grave
yard there and place flowers on the
grave of his cid partner, Harvey L.
Hayes.
When Mr.. jolly came here at the
age of eighteen, Colorado was a por-
ton Of Kansas. The population of
the gold camps and of the valley, to
some extert, increased so RAPIDLY
that, before he left the mountains,
the organization of an Independent
federal territory had been completed,
with Governor Gilrin at the head.
After the death OF Mr.. Jolly's part
ner, he st1d out his saw mill and
freighted for three years between
Leavenworth and Denver, frequently
for the government, and then went
into farming in southeastern Neb-
yaska.
One of Mr.. Jolly's mining part
ners was Joseph Thatcher, president
cf the Denver National bank, the
munificert Colorado pioneer who has
given the magnificent $780, 900 foun-
tain to Denver for City park, and
to whom Mr.. Jolly pays a compli-,
meIt for business homer and integ-
rity, virtues always appreciated, es-
recii lly in the early days.
AS might be expected. Mr.. Jolly
| is full of rendniscerses, and ome OF
the best stories he tells is how he
toua hit quRhfz min over in the
Russell district with a portion of
his gold stake. but upon returning
after an abserce of two CIR three
days, he foIrd lis quartz mill gone.
Miners from an adjoining district
had carried it away, and the sheriff
with his deputies found 1t on Soda
creek but did not get 1t back.
Although he is in Ids seventy-sev-
rnth year, Mr.. Jolly is still hale and
and hearty, ard, If a new gold dis
cOvery should be made, Il would be
hard work to keep the kindly and
vigorous old gentleman from having
hand in it. He was introduced at
the seventh annual meeting of the
Clear Creek pioneers i'm the opera
house by Charles Woodward, and re-
ceived quite an ovation, later shak-
ing hands with a good many at the
picnic i'm city park.-Idaho Springs

CONSOLIDATION
OF THE TWO COUNTIES
To tie Editor:

tune time to consider the matter Of
consolidating Clear Greek and Gil
rim counties into one county under

seat and single set of courty Of

orado, ard considering the rapid de-
crease in tie population of the Two

mere than fifty-five per cent Of the
total area CT the two counties is
new in the forest reserve, and that
an additional area Is to be with
drawn forever from taxation and de-
velopmert by the creation of the
Irorosed Denver National park, the
maintenance of two county govern
ments over the Remaining small
Grea II the expense of the property
holders and taxpayers, is hardly JUS
titled at this time.
The reduction in the amount of
money now raised in the two coun-
ties by taxation would amount to
more than sixty per cent, and would
enable the taxpayer of the present
time, as we'll as future generations.
to do his shsre towards Mquidatipg

We cannot fcresee how many more
bond Issues there will be, nor the
extent CT internal revenue that must
be met, hnt we know that for many
years to core the burden will be
beapy ore, consequently a big re-
ducticn in local taxation thru a con-
solicitation OF TIE two counties would
