Shortage Of Labor in
Idaho Springs District

There is employment for exper-
fenced miners and road workers in
this district and at good wages.
The shortage has curtailed the
production of minerals, for which
there is an increased demand, and
when men are secured things will
take on renewed life.
The Gem mine people want to
secure the services of big force
of men. Mount Even, highway
contractors are short over 20 men.
Several are needed on Berthoud
Pass construction work. Roose-
welt mine and mill are Offering S.
a day for single jack miners. EX
perienced miners t. work with
single Jack ON the Fraction.
III. p. Machol. president of the
First National Bank and manager
OF the Fraction mine, told us this
week that there is urgent need of
l5O miners, and if that number
should land here in one day they
and all have jobs in "a hours.
1t seems that a campaign should
be started to induce men to move
to Idaho Springs. where work is
plentiful, house rents most reason
able, and necessities are sold at
the right prices. Property can be
bought at very reasonable prices
and good terms.
Everybody on the job. Do your
part. Use the mails. Tell the
people everywhere what we need.

Lightning Strikes Electric Wire
Which Had Been Strung to
Charge of TINT and Richard
Lager Is Killed by Explosion.

The tragic death Of Richard A.
Lager of Idaho Springs, which oc-
Cured at Lime Creek camp, on
the Durango-Silverton highway,
Monday, July 26. came as a great
shock to both the family and
friends in this city.
With other men he was putting
in round of shots, using the TINT
charge, and everything was about
completed for the blasting, when
lightning struck the electric wire
which had just been strung and
caused the charge to explode.
Young Lager was bending over
the shot when the explosion took
place, the lightning setting off IA
charges. Harry Bowra of Aztec,
N. NJ, was passing on the highway
with string of mules when the
explosion came and the mules we're
instantly killed, while the man es-
capped death.
Richard, who was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Gus Lager of Colorado
street, this city, was born in Sher-
rab, Illinois, April 16, 1895, and at
his death was 25 years, 3 months,
and 10 days OF age. Before coming
to Idaho Springs with his parents,
eight years ago, he lived for several
years in the state of Washington
He served two years in the late
war, being one of the first boys of
Idaho Springs to leave in the draft.
He did faithful service for his
country overseas, also serving in
the army of occupation before
being privileged to return to his
home. He was with the 34lst
field artillery, Company A.
Before going into the service he
was employed in the mines at
various places and it was only in
June that he went to Durango,
where he met his untimely death.
His younger brother, Walter, was
with him at Durango and accom-
panied the body home.
Besides his parents he leaves to
mourn his departure the following
brothers and sisters: Ray. Ruth,
Ruby, Walter, Oscar, and Evelyn,
all single and living at home.
The body arrived here Wednes-
day evening and funeral services
will be held at the residence on
Colorado street Sunday afternoon
at 30 o'clock, Rev. Ell. S. Beavis

Not Surprising

Not a few local farmers have ex.
pressed surprise and disappointment
at the antagonistic attitude which the
Yakima Valley American, "the only
farmers daily in the Yakima Valley
has assumed toward the Farmers
Chautauqua, which is being held Ihi:
week in Yakima and Spokane under
the auspices of the State Federation
Of Farm Organizations.
Really, there is nothing surprising
about the stand of the American,
Whatever else it is, or is not, it is
the propaganda organ of political
party just as much as the National
Republican is the official organ of the

with Senator Gronna of North Dakota
that the only real solution for the
marketing program is for the farm
ers to organize completely and effect
ively-as completely as business men
are organized-to control their own
industry and its product" --.-
The Socialist program of the Non
partisan League made no appeal to
the farmers of Alberta and Saskatch-
evan. They realized Socialism to be
the enemy Of cooperation and when
funds ceased to come in the Nonpar-
tisan League withdrew and died; but
the real organization, controlled in a
true sense by the farmers themselves,
is fourishing as never before and its
influences, economically and political
ly is everywhere felt in the Dominion.

and H. w. Wood, the great farmer
leader of Western Canada where the
.nonpartisan league was tried and fail
ed.
The following letter from former
resident of Alberta will give the read
er clearer understanding as to why
the American and other propaganda
organs of the nonpartisan league are
fighting the Farmers Chautauqua.
The present political situation in
North Dakota is creating consider
able interest in the two western pro-
vinces of Canada, where the people
can readily appreciate the issues in
volved. When A. c. Townley's phe-
nomenal success in organizing the
farmers of North Dakota became gen.
orally known, enterprising young fell
lows not otherwise engaged in re-
munerative pursuits, fastened to the
broad prairies Of Saskatchewan and
Alberta, hoping to reap as golden har-
vest as that which had been garnered
by Townley in the south.
The horde of agitators which invad-
ed Canada had powers of persuasion
equal to those displayed by their col
leagues south of the 49th parallel
In very short time they succeeded in
corralling great number of members
at $500 per. Headquarters were
opened, Nonpartisan Leader estab-
lished and the capture Of the govern
ment was planned. The Townley plat
form was presented to the farmers OF
the prairie provinces; Townley meth.

republican party. It is committed to
the nonpartisan leagues program OF
state socialism, a program which is
Numerically opposed to the principle
and practice of cooperative marketing,
which is the central idea of the Farm
ers' Chautauqua.
The American believes in taking the
farmers business out of the hands of
the farmers and subjecting it to the
uncertainties of the ballot box. The
Chautauqua calls for equipping the
farmer for the control of his own bus
mess.
Two of the principal Chautauqua
speakers are Aaron Sapiro, expert on
cooperative organization, of California,
the home of Walter Thomas Mills,
where there is no nonpartisan league,

DDS were applied to conventions; the
Townley pledge was exacted from can
didates; in short, every Townley copy
right was infringed upon, and a clean
sweep in Alberta and Saskatchewan
was contemplated by the league lead
ers,
Election has since been held, result
ing in, the complete elimination of the
league. The magnificent headquarters
were abandoned and the Leader long
ago ceased publication. The organ
izers have flown to greener fields.
The obstacle that confronted the ag-
itators who invaded Western Canada
was the comparative complete or
ganization of farmers along cooper
ative lines. The idea of true COOP
Grafton dominated the minds of farm
ers. in Western Canada, and against
it the Socialist agitators were power
less.
State ownership or utilities for the
handling of grain did not make a
strong appeal to the farmers of the
Dominion. 1t had been tried in Man.
itoba and had proved complete fail
ure. Hopelessly entwined in red tape
and subject to political control, the
managers of the various government
elevators had incurred the displeasure
of the farmers and the trust of every
body else. The Robin government of
Manitoba was more than glad to turn
the publicly owned utilities" over to
cooperative company of farmers
at yearly rental of one per cent of
the capital earnings.
The United Grain Growers, a coop
erative organization of farmers, as
sumed management of the govern
ment elevators and has attained phe-
nomenal success where government
ownership proved complete failure.
The United Grain Growers, Limited,
and its sister company, The Saskatch-
evan Cooperative Elevator company,
now own and operate more than 600
country elevators merged into two
companies, which also control and OPP
crate the largest terminal elevators
in the world at the Head of the
Lakes, Fort William and Port Arthur;
Offices are maintained at Winnipeg.
New York and Liverpool, thru which
more than 60, 600, 900 bushels of wheat
are marketed annually.
Cooperative marketing of grain
has been carried on so successfully in
Canada thru these farmers companies
that the grain spectators are now
eliminated. On the other hand, po-
litical control Of the marketing Of
grain proved such q failure under the
Robin government in Manitoba that
the farmers have no desire to go back
to such experiments. They realize
