PAPER CHASE.
Exhilarating Sport Carried Out
Sunday Morning by Party of
Officers and Ladies.

|
Sunday morning a paper
chase" was carried off in the
vicinity of Nogales by a num-
Der of officers of the Tenth Cav
airy and their invited guests
from the burg, the sport being
somewhat similar to fc.. hunt
ing, except that ins :
pack of hounds trailing
with the horsemen and no.
women following at full speed,
the chase followed route mark
ed by bits of paper scattered
over the country, the finding of
which constituted the points in
the game, while the couple find
ing "the fox" "a paper bag tied
in a tree), were awarded the
prizes-- Each couple was accom-
panied by a trumpeter. Which,
ever couple found a bit of the
scattered paper stopped at the
point where it was found and the
bugle was sounded, at : which
signal all returned to that point
and took a new start, stopping
and returning to the point where
a trumpet call signaled finding
another "scent." Finding "the
fox" terminated the mornings
sport, and the party returned to
town to a hunt breakfast set at
the Nogales Cafe.
The hunt met at the Town
Hall and, proceeding out of town
in a northwesterly direction,
went across the. hills toward the
Pajarito mountains, where the
course to be ridden had been laid
the preceding day, and at the
beginning of the course the ride
commenced, the line of Scent"
leading toward the Santa Cruz
river a distance of several miles.
1t was over rough country and
theparticipants had some rough
riding. All acquitted them
selves superbly.
''The fox" was captured by
Miss Titcomb and Lieutenant
Allison, and they received the
Iprizes-a box. of candy for the
lady andsa carton of cigarettes
for the gentleman . IS
The participants in the hunt
were: Major Rush and Mrs.
Frier, Captain and Mrs. Wag-
ner, Lieutenant and Mrs. Arm
strong, Lieutenant Allison and
Miss Titcomb, Lieutenant Barry
and Miss Josephine Titcomb,
Lieutenant Farren and Miss
Hamblen, Lieutenant Duke and
Miss K. Hamblen, Lieutenant
de Lorimer and Miss Reed,
Lieutenant Gayley, Captain,
Garlick, Captain Mangan, Lieu
tenant Rogers, Lieutenant Cum
minis.
After the exhilarating sport
and the return ride to Nogales
the party found an appetizing
breakfast awaiting them at the
Nogales Cafe, and all did the
spread full justice.

COUNTY CONSOLIDATION
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Articles have been written re-
gently advocating a consolidation of
Gilrin and Clear Creek counties and
l take this means OF calling atten-
tdon TO several phases Of the pro-
posed plan.
take it from Mr.. Sternberger's
automatically redrce the member
skip in the legislature by enc mem
ber. which is not so. The represen-
tauve from this county fer example
is elected by the voters Of this
county but is a state officer and a
representative of all OF the people
of the state and as he is a ccnstitu-
tior al officer he can be deprived Of
1t crly in a constitutional manner.
In considering this ITorcsed plan
the first question is, What ds the
financial stairs of the two counties?
When the Mcffat road pays its ac-
crued taxes our county will be sub
stantially out of debt AID we should
know to a certainty how Clear Creek
county stands.
The county seat of county is in
variabiy located at the piece most
convenient for the majority OF its
people and frcm a geographical stand
roint Idaho Springs is the logical
rciIt as a glarce at the map will
show tfat neither Georgetown or
Central City would answer the pur-
rose and this would involve the
abandcum ent Of the court house here
rrd at Georgetown and make the
tuildirg CT new court house at
Idaho SpIfrgs Inevitable. Tits would
be dore by bend issue and we
would tave to assume cur legal
share. There are number of
roints to he very carefully consider
ed ard these TIRE just a couple of
them.
