Roosevelt Memorial Association

The Roosevelt Memorial Asso-
citation was formed to provide and
secure funds to erect a suitable
memorial to the memory of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. This is a nom
partisan movement in which men
and women of all parties have an
equal part. The memory of Mr..
Roosevelt is the heritage of every
American. Every citizen is in
vited to assist in this movement
so that we might have a numerical
as well as financial success.
The funds for the erection of
this memorial are to be raised by
a nation wide campaign during
the week of October 20 to 27, and
all contributions are to be in the
form of a free-will offering. To
secure the sum necessary for the
erection of this memorial nat
ional, state and county organiza-
tion have been effected and each
state and county given quota
based upon the Victory Loan
quota. Gilpin county has been
asked to raise 500 and the follow
ing committee has been appointed
to act in Gilpin county: ]. L. Dav-
is, Mrs. Edith Williams and L. ].

Cleaning Out National Tunnel

The National Tunnel in Black
Hawk is being cleaned out and
put in a workable condition, but
no information regarding the fu-
ture plans of operation is avail
when this article was written.
1t is hoped that this large
group of mining properties will
be extensively operated in the
near future. In this group is in
cluded the famous Caledonia vein
which produced some very rich
ore in the early days. The pre-.
paratory work is being done by

boiler, engine and compressor on
the Cyclops in the Hard Money
district. They will sink winze

nice showing of silver-lead ore.
The rapid advance in silver is
causing a revival of the silver
mines in the Hughesville and
Hard Money districts and by
spring large number of proper
ties that have long been idle will
be operated.

A Call for $4,000
Census EnumeratOrs

The Director of the Census,
Hon. Sam. l.. Rogers, announces
that $4,000 enumerators will be
needed to take the next census.
The work begins on January End
and will last about two weeks in
cities, and month or more in
rural districts. Rates of pay will
vary, depending upon the locality
and character of the district to be
canvassed. The average pay per
enumerator at the census of 1910
was about $40. At this coming
census it will probably be not less
than 500.
Active, intelligent, and reli-
able men and women, not less
than 18 years of age, are needed
for this task" said Director Rog-
ers, land, in sense, this is call
for volunteers. The Importance
of complete and reliable census,
especially in these critical times
when more than ever before per-
haps we need complete data re-
garding population, conditions,
tendencies, and resources, can
hardly be over-emphasized. The
organization of the social and
economic structure and the read
justment of international rela-
tions necessitated by the war
must be based on accurate know
ledge if we are to act wisely and
deal justly with all classes and
all interests. 1t is hoped there
fore, that the public-spirited en-
ergetic people thruout the coun-
try will volunteer to act as CEN
sus enumerators even tho they
may not care for the positions so
far as the pay is concerned.

that he will need about $50 enum-
orators for this district. Appli-
cations or requests for applica-
tion forms should be sent to him
at 402C, Federal Bldg, Pueblo.
AS test of their fitness for
the work applicants will be re-
quired to fill out sample sched-
ule and will be duly notified of the
time and place for this test. So

VIM. H. Parenteau, a Citizen
for Fifty Years, Dies

VIM. H. Parenteau, a resident of
Central City for fifty years, died
at his home on Eureka street last
Friday morning of lobar pneu-
monia, following an illness of
four years. He leaves a wife and
two sons, Lysle, Oft Russell,
Wyo., and Roger, of Alaska. Ser
vices were held at the residence
Monday afternoon, Rev. A. G..
Harrison, officiating. The body
was taken to Denver Tuesday
morning and buried with Masonic
rites in Fairmount cemetery.
VIM. H. Parenteau was born in
Potosi, Wis.,, in 1849 and came to
Gilpin county when 20 years of
age. He entered the blacksmith
shop of Gilbert & Morgan, where
he learned the trade. He after
wards took up mining and super
intended several big properties,
including the Gunnell for a per-
iod of eleven years. For two years
he mined in the Black Hills coun-
try and was there at the time of
the Custer massacre. Six years
he served as deputy state mine in
spector and due to tireless and
faithful work, it was while acting
in this capacity that his health
commenced to fail. A steadfast
Democrat, he was twice honored
by his party with public office in
the positions of county coroner
and city alderman. He represent
ed the county commissioners in
the construction of the court
house and saw to it that the con-
tractors fulfilled their contract to
the letter and gave the county
satisfaction. He also had the con-
tract for laying the main pipe
line from Peck and Miners gulch-
es for the city's water service.
On June %, 1880, Mr.. Paren-
teau married Ettie V. Valentine
and took his bride to live in the
house he had built on Eureka
street, which has since continued
as their home for thirty-nine
years. Five children were born
to the couple, only two now living.
Two years after his marriage,
on Oct. 29th, 1882, Mr.. Parenteau
had terrible experience with a
wild animal that only man of
his strong nerve could have sur
vived. He was out hunting for
deer in the upper end of Boulder
park when he encountered a big
silver-tip bear and her cub. Be-
fore he had time to sight his gun,
the bear knocked it from his hand
and attacked him, forcing him to
his knees and while he was in
this position proceeded to tear
his scalp with her teeth. He man.
aged to reach his hunting knife
which was in a scabbard on his
belt and while the bear had his
head in her mouth, he stabbed
her ten times in the stomach, fin-
ally drawing the knife and max
ing a long cut that released the
