N0nDardsan Picnic al Wild |
wood Park IS Huge Success

, to realize that the Statements now
being made by the gang papers
were all lies published for the pur-
pose of deceiving the farmers, and
getting them to vote against their
own interests. The governor men
toned number of the new laws
passed at the recent session of the
legislature, and told of how they
would prove of great benefit to the
farmers. He admitted that several
of the laws could be improved. and
opined that at the next session of
the law makers some amendments
would be made to such laws as
could be made of even greater bene-
fit to the farmers of the state. He
advised the women of the state to
take greater interest in state po-
litics, and assured them that they
would be given the voting privilege
at the next election. He said the
members of the old gang would
have their wives and daughters out
in full force to vote against the or
ganized farmers, and that it was up
to the farmers to do the same in
order to hold their own.

MAKE OLD CASINOS =,

Securing additional wear from
worn out automobile castings should
be of interest - all auto owners.
Max Morgan. county agent OF Nor
ton county, North Dakota. states
that he has found that by putting
one worn out casing over another,
he has secured quite q: little addi-
tional mileage. He states that the
air must be removed from tube and
tire removed before the other cas-
ing is put over it. Al. first the in
side casing will hump u up but by
bouncing it up and down on the
ground it gradually takes its place.
The two castings are then put on the
rim with the under casing being
used as the clincher. Mr.. Morgan
has driven 1900 miles, with two
worn out castings in this, way. He
states that he notices that some
dust has worked in between the
two castings forming small lump
SO that he expects Z blowout fns

Stamping Out Illiteracy

The actual percentage of illit-
crates within the draft age was
24.6. In other words, one out of
every four could neither read nor
write. Americans have prided
themselves on their educational
system, but the draft showed that
no country had such staggering
percentage of aliens and litter
ates. Being able to neither read
nor write, these illiterates had
little or no opportunity to know
and appreciate American princi-
Piles, ideals or government.
Thru the mammoth school sys-
TEN that has been established
overseas, the War Department is
doing its part to stamp out this
illiteracy. Of an army of ap-
proximately one and a quarter
million young men in France on
April Is, 100000 had been enroll
ed in the army schools, 100000 of
them in the elementary schools.
where they were being taught the
rudiments. More than $4,000
who had been taught the elemen-
tary principles were in divisional
or secondary schools.
Over here, Secretary of the In
terror Lane had a bill before the
last Congress proposing compul-
sorry instruction of all under "a
in the English language and 9TH
er branches, including American
ideals and government. 1t died
on the calendar because of the
Republican filibuster in the last
days Of congress. An awakened
public will doubtless demand the
enactment of Secretary Lanes bill
or some similar measure by the
new congress.

Silver Producers Are
Playing in Luck

Silver is one of the few arti-
cles of commerce, stabilized by
war conditions and great credit
is due to Senator Pittman, of
Nevada and Hon. Ray Baker, dir
ector of the U. S. mint in this
connection. The threatened ac-
tion of the government which.
two years ago proposed to fix the
price of silver at sc cents per
ounce, resulted in conventions at
Salt Lake and Denver, called by
the western chapters of the Am
erican Mining Congress. A big
delegation from silver producing
states was appointed, Governor
Emmett D. Boyle of Nevada, who
personally headed the Nevada del
egation in Washington, acting as
chairman. 1t was shown that
it cost as high as 81 an ounce to
produce an ounce of silver bullion
in the mines and districts where
silver was the chief product. The
administration had no desire to
close down American silver camps
and endorsed a bill introduced by
Hon. Key Pittman authorizing
the director of the mint to pur-
chase 300,0O0,OO0 ounces of silver
bullion at 81 per ounce. The pas
sage of this legislation prevent
ed disaster to the silver industry.
Now that war is over and embar-
goes have been removed, silver is
selling in the open market in ex-
cess of $1.19. Silver can not go
below 81 while Director Baker
has an appropriation left under
the Pittman bill.

Freight Committee Makes Report

May ID, 1919.
The Gilpin County Metal Miners
Association:
Gentlemen:
Agreeable to your instructions
we attended the hearing on
freight rates with regard to ship
ping ore to- the smelter at Pu-
eblo. Counties tributary to the
Colorado & Southern railway en-
gagged in mining were all repres-
ented and we among others pres
ented our case to the best of our
ability.
The Commission gave our plea
careful and respectful attention
and we believe will recommend
such reduction in ore rates as
can be possibly granted.
We are informed that the
Smelling company will absorb
the added freight from Denver to
Pueblo on low grade ore up to
SIP ton and if the commission
will grant reduction on ores
above that grade as we think they
will, we will feel that our effort
was well worth while for the good
of our community. When we have
definite information we will re-
port to a general meeting of our
association.
Yours faithfully,
