JONES Is A LUCKY BOY

Bert Jones, one of the dispatchers at
the Rio Grande depot, doing a night
trick, worried over the fact that be
could not get away for regular deer
hunt in the hills, but as the next best
thing decided to use little of his
sleeping time to stroll over the hill
west of town, just to see what he
could see Accordingly, he started We'd
nesday morning and climbed the trail
up the Cansdale gulch, back of the
Walz ranch, and when pretty well TO-
ward the top he sat down in a small
open place to eat his lunch.
Presently big buck galloped ou'
of the timber and stood in plain view,
as though begging to be shot. Bert is
a real accommodating sort Of . fellow
in spite of the fact that he has spsnt
several years in the employe Of rail-
road companies. He couldn't take
dare like that, so he aimed his Win
chester toward his Buckship and pulled
the trigger, with the desired result.
He then drew forth his sharp knife
and removed the bucks appendix and
a few other non essentials, hung the
carcass in a tree and came home happy,
and then began searching for horse
on which to pack in his quarry. But
this proved to be more difficult task
than finding the deer. Thursday morn
ing Mr.. Tucker Accommodated Bert with
pack animal, and now the members
Of the Jones family are enjoping veni-
son steaks.

Lake COUNTY WINS
COUNTY LINE FIGHT

In the district court in Leadville
last Monday, Judge Hersey of Denver
sitting for Judge Francis E. Bouck,
the county line dispute between Lake
and Summit counties was decided in
favor of Lake county, the plaintiff
In a suit that was brought several
months ago, and which for time
threatened to involve Garfield, Eagle
and Pitkin counties.
An effort was made to bring in this
county as a party litigant, and re-
quest was made for an order from our
board Of county commissioners that the
county surveyor or acting surveyor of
this county assist the other surveyors
in the surveys which would have much
to do with the final determination of
the case. After Judge Dollison, our
county attorney, had read the plead
ings, he concluded that Garfield couu-
tvs interests were not involved IN
this proceeding, and 80 advised the
commissioners, who asked Judge Dolli-
son 10 attend the hearing in order that
any interests we had might be pro-
tected.
The question at issue involved q
strip Of territory about q mile and a
quarter wide and six miles long be-
tween Lake and Summit counties, on
which is located some mines very rich
in high grade ores. In the disputed
territory is situated the town mining
camp of Climax and the rich molyb-
dcnum deposits Of the American Met
ais company. There has for some time
been lively controversy between the
two counties as to which WAS entitled
to collect the taxes from these prop
critics.

of Eagle and Summit counties were In

corporation officials and the union
leaders and avert the strike.
"When the president communicates
with q private citizen" he said, "it
isn't courtesy for the person so ap,
proached to say what the communica-
ton was"
Reverting at the end Of the day to
his general view Of the. situation,
Judge Gary said.
"The general public now requires in
creased production. That may even
necessitate increased hours, up to the
limit set by the willingness of workers
and their health. But there is no usc
Of talking about increased wages and
decreased production and at the same
time roaring about rising prices. I'm
in favor Of high wages, but there comes
a time when there is limit.
"In my view prices are too high
right now. The right way to do is to
lower them first, and decrease wages
last. That is the policy of the steel
industry"

A LECTURE ON
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

(By George Shaw Cook, c. s. b.
Without adoption to the needs of
mankind the Christian Science church
as an institution would have no good
reason for existence. In order to JUS
tify its presence among men, the
Church Of Christ, Scientist, must be
ready to answer, not theoretically but
practically, the all-important question,
What is Christian Science able to do
for suffering humanity"
The answer which it makes to this
question is, "Christian Science heals
sickness and sin. 1t breaks the bands
of appetite and passion. 1t lifts the
burden of fear and care"
Through the ministry of Christian
Science; many thousands have been
raised from beds Of unspeakable pain.
others have been rescued from lives
of immortality and yise. otAsrs,
have been freed from the bondage of
poverty and incompetency. Now, it is
possible that some of these persons
would have recovered from their sick
ness under other forms Of treatment or
without any treatment. It is probable
that some would have been reformed
by different means and that others
would have become prosperous in an
other way. But it is fact that many
Of them were utterly hopeless and sp-
parently helpless in their misery until
Christian Science showed them a way
out Of Il.
How were these people healed of
diseases which, in many instances, had
baffled the physiciansi They were
healed by the Christ, Truth, which
takes away the sin and heals the sick
moss Of the world. They were healed
by reason Of the knowledge that sick
ness is not natural to God . man, that
1t is NO part of mans true nature.
They have found that the fear Of sick
ness and Of other forms Of evil il un.
necessary because every phase Of evil
is temporal and destructible.
The life Of Christ Jesus makes safe
the conclusion that he put his work
above his words. Although Jesus IN /
sufficient faith In what He said to de-
clare "though heaven and earth pass
away, my words shall not paA away" "
still ~ also aid; eff I do not the
works Of my Father, believe me not.

FOR ROOSEVELT
MEMORIAL FUND

Hon. Samuel D. Nicholson, who has
been chosen chairman for Colorado for
the Roosevelt Memorial fund, has des-
ignated Ollie Thorson to have charge
Of the work for this county. Garfield
county should have most kindly feel
ing for this great man who knew the
common people as no other president,
save Abraham Lincoln, knew them.
Mr.. Roosevelt visited Garfield coun-
ty, both as vice president and later as
president, during the latter visit estab-
fishing the temporary capitol of the
the United States in this city. 1t was
in the mountains of this county that
he derived much pleasure from the
chase and hunt, and greatly enjoyed
the bracing and soothing ozone, the
restful surroundings and the freedom
from official cares which had borne
heavily upon him.
A few days after Mr.. Roosevelt's
death a number Of his friends met in
Chicago and initiated plans for secur-
ing fitting memorial to the former
president. The plan contemplates a
campaign to raise fund of $5,0OO,ooo
to provide a suitable memorial in ac-
eordance with the program of the Ma
tional Memorial association. The
movement is non-partisan in character,
on the theory that the memory Of
Roosevelt is the common heritage of
all Americans.
Garfield county's share in this wor-
thy undertaking has been placed at
$3.50 and Ollie Thorson has been desig-
mated to have charge Of the campaign
in this county. In each community
committeeman will be chosen to assist
Mr. Thorson in his work. The commit
tee thus far appointed (outside COM
mitteemen to be appointed later) is as
follows: Ollie Thorson, chairman; VIM.
F. Noonan, secretary. W. g. Parkison,
A. J. Dickson, E. E. Fordham, j. A.
MacRae, @. R. Mccarthy, Nellie d.
Brown, g. h. Bell, John R. Weir, E.
=. Lucas, Rsxl VIM. Pepper, j. W. Bell,
M. J. Mayes and @. G. Canady.

time complete arrangements for the

GlENWoOD BOY IN IN.
1ERESTING Interview

Many Of our people remember we'll
Frank P. Warner, once a brilliant
writer and newspaper man of Glenwood
Springs and Florence, Colorado. Mr.
Warner wrote over the nom de plume
Of Dan DeFoe, and his brain effusions
were of humorous and philosophic
character and were quite familiar to
Glenwood Springs people a few years
ago.
Johnnie Warner, the name by which
We knew him as bop, now parts his
name Is well as his hair in the middle,
and prefers to be known, especially
when he is interviewed by a newspa-
per, as ]. Western Warner. He is the
eldest son Of the late Frank P. War
ner, and his early years were spent as
an employe Of Jake Borah and Steve
Baxter who as guides led some very
prominent hunters and sportsmen into
the hills after outfitting at Glenwood
Sprines. --rN- -
Apparently Warner is still in the
same old business, If We are to judge
from the following account Of him
which appeared in a recent issue Of
the Denver Post.
"Big game is gone from Colorado
moetly-but love those old hills yet. /"
1t was J. Western Warner, big game
hunter and famous guide, who spoke.
Since Warner was 16 years old he
has been tramping the woods and peaks
and plains from British Columbia to
California, plotting some of the world 3
most distinguished sportsmen. He
knows the whole big West like q book
and when it comes to Colorado, his IA
tive heath-well, he knows aim ,st
every prairie dog hole in the state.
Warmers in Denver to meet John
R. Bradley, widely known Palm Beach
sportsman, who heads a party Of rich
New Yorkers. Warner will accompany
Bradley and his friends into the noun
tains Of northern New Mexico, where
several weeks will be spent in camp.
Warner accompanied Bradley north
from Glenwood Springs, over the Flat
Tops, ON a hunting expedition in 1910.
Tho guide expressed the greatest ad-
mirstion for Bradley's sportsmanship, p,
and great delight over anticipation #
the forthcoming hunt. Warner loves

Though the act actually became
law when approved by the President,
the accounting officers of the Treas
ury declined to approve payments un-
til they had received a copy of the
act certified tEy the Department Of
State.
Notwithstanding the position taken
by the Treasury Department. officials
of some of the executive departments,
the War Department in particular,
took the grouad that the law was
operative from the date of its ap-
proval by theE President. and since
that time have advanced discharged
