Editor Siftings News: AS | have
seen only one aper since coming over
here, l will drop you few lines. Isaw

This is quite nice place here, and is
a wonderful canon. 1t is about 1000
feet deep and straight up-just room
i 4 the river, railroad, and wagon road
Y onderful formations in the rocks.
The plant has some wonderful ma
CHI merry in it. The tunnel that supplies
the plant with waterpower is three
miles long with a big cement dam at
the upper end. The water fall about
200 feet to the turbors.
The boarding house is modern in
every respect. with nice, laage bhby
with all kinds of easy chairs and a
piano. Off the lobby is a nice pool and
card room, then on the other side of the
lobby is the dining room. There are
seventeen rooms in all, and each has a
large heater in it. It takes about go
K. w. per IL shours to heat and light
the boarding house.
There is fine bunch of boys here
Some of them beat me at pool, but |
got their goat at 'rummy" The din
ing room has a player-piano in it, SO
you see we have plenty of Jazz music
while eating.
Yours res pectfuly,

Inasmuch as the goshdurndest editor
in Colorado is going to California pretty
soon and will not be on hand to main
tain the reputation of the olorado Edi-
torial association as collection of the
goshdurndest humans out of Jail, the
state association of quill drivers has en-
tered into nefariOus agreement with
the leather conscienced members of the
Denver Press club and will give at the
Denver Auditorium on the evening of
January % the goshdurndest show and
dance ever designed to filch dollar
head from an unprotected public.
Not that it's going to be case of
something for nothing or nothing for
something according to which side of

who comes will get his moneys worth;
in fact, it is rumored that when the

applied to the most sensitive parts of
their regulations both they and the
bowling club which will fill the audito-
rum to the caves will get more than
they bardained for. perhaps.

the first annual cowboy stampede of the
state press. is pai of the annual cele-
bration and businessrconventio of the

the Denver Press club jeintly partici-
pates, and is desi ned to show the peo-
pie of the state just how good time
all the newspaper men of the state can
show all the people of the state at
price considerably les than the charge
for tickets 10 any other show of ANY,
thing like the entertainment possibik,
ties. Anyone who gees to the stock
show and misses the edi.uriaE aW aoyae
his life.
The show is set to begin at Sis, and
in addition to the branding iron feature
will include some fancy stunts apropos
to a season when steer wranglers roam
abroad without let or bindrance-be-
ing. in fact. egged on by their sinful

The ordinance dividing the city into
garbage districts to expedite the hand

of the three that were proposed by the

terday by request of DR.. Spencer, who
asked the city to postpone action on it
until advices could be received from
Washington. The committee of citi-
zens appointed to confer in the rat
ordinance had certain changes in the
proposed ordinance and these recon-
mendations had been sent to the Ma
tional headquarters of the health de-
partment for advice. Until the an
ewer returr--d DIR. Spencer asked that
consideration of the ordinance be de-
ferred.

department was filed with the city
commissioners yesterday, showing that
! total of 424 arrests had been made
during the month. The total fines
turned over to the treasurer from the
fines was $193250. Meals served dur
ing the month cost the city IS 23 cents
