Advises Temporary Repairs
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Road

Chief Engineer Upham arrived
late because he got lost on one of
the detours on the way from Will
mington. When he was called
upon by Mayor Frazer, he stated
that Mr.. Marvel had probably
covered the ground for the De-
partment and that there was
nothing he could add. He did,
however, discuss the condition of
the road over which he had just
come, declaring that the people of
Newark must be pretty good ma
tured to endure travel over such
a road. The heavy traffic there
he said, would certainly warrant
the expenditure of a considerable
sum to smooth up the road tenn.
porarily until such time as the
permanent road shall be com
pleted. In reply to Mr.. Griffin's
question as to when the perman
ent road would be completed in
asmuch as it had taken the Levy

He Wears a Necklace,

Did you ever hear of a man wearing
a necklace? Well. that is what the
male Canadian warbler does, while
on the female of this attractive bird
there is only the slightest indication of
a necklace, says the American Forest
ry association. Washington. The
warbler's necklace of black spots
shows up very strikingly his olive
green and yelIowish throat and breast.
On the back the bird is of a slate gray
color with the tail more of an olive
brown tone. This is very lively
bird. 1t is very seldom still for more
than a few seconds before it dashes
out at some tempting bit to eat. 1t
is partial TO the wooded banks of
streams. 1t usually keeps in under
brush near the ground.

HAS z INDEPENDENCE DAYS
Republic OF Ecuador Celebrates August
Tenth and October Ninth as
National Holidays.

The Republic of Ecuador celebrates
two national holidays. and both are
Independence days." according to the
Pan-American Union.
The liberty-loving patriots had to
shoot two bolts at Spanish domination
before they succeeded in gaining per-
manent independence. The first time
they had quiet but determined revo-
luton in Quito, the present capital of
the republic. the patriots assembling
ut the house of Manuela Canizares, a
brave and beautiful woman. on August
5. 1909. when they prepared their
declaration of independence and chose
the officials who were to compose the
provisional government. That night
the conspirators gathered their forces
in different parts of the city and Cap
tain Salinas, who commanded the two
companies of regular troops that guard
ed the city, went to their barracks,
read to them the declaration and won
them over to the cause of the patriots.
They overpowered the bodyguard of
Ruiz de Castillo, the Spanish governor,
early on the morning Of August 10 and
thus established the first republic
without shedding drop of blood. 1t
lasted only about year. when Castil-
la succeeded in overthrowing the pa
triotic government and again brought
the country under Spanish dominion.
The fires Of liberty had been kim
died. however, and the Ecuadoreans
kept up their heroic struggle, notwith-
standing many reverses, until in 1920
the people Of Guayaquil, the leading
seaport Of the country, succeeded in
rebelling on the ninth Of October.
With the aid of Gen. Simon Bolivar,
the great Venezuelan emancipation.
and Of his compatriot, Gen. Antonio
Jose Sucre, the Ecuadoreans, after
many bloody battles, succeeded in COM
pletely annihilating the Spanish forces
and established freedom in Ecuador
forever. Therefore it is that the Ecua-
doreans celebrate two independence
days." the tenth Of August and the
ninth of October.

housekeeping Hedgehoas.

It is said that when in camp during
the winter the woodsmen of Maine en-
terrain many strange guests-blue-
jays; chickadees, wood mice and hedge
hogs among them. One woodsman on
leaving the camp on a Saturday aft
ernoon used to neglect purposely to
close the door of his shack in order
that the hedgehogs might enter and
clean his floor.
Inasmuch as the principal constitu-
ents of the camp menu are pork and
beans, bacon and other dishes rich in
fat. grease Is spilled upon the floor
in week and a hedgehog will risk his
neck for bit of fat.
Just as soon, therefore, as this par
ticular camp was deserted by its oc-
cupants the spiny gluttOns would has
ten in and begin to plane off the sur
face of the floor with their chisellike
teeth. eating away all the wood that
held a trace of grease. On his return
to camp the owner could sweep up
and enjoy the comforts of a clean
house for another week. The only Sc
rious objection to this method or
housekeeping lay In the fact that 1t
was necessary to lay new camp floor
frequently.

End of Coal Deposits Seen.

II is calculated that English coal
will come to an end in about 900 years.
German coal in 400 years and Ameri-
can coal in 1000 years. Yet it is
consoling to think that for our de-
cendants there are possibilities OF
warmth which are independent of coal.
says the Manchester Guardian. 1t
may, for instance, be possible to har-
ness the Niagara falls. the Zambesi, the
Congo falls, or even the tides them
selves. Then there is also the theory
that only a few miles below the sur
face of the earth there are huge car
bide deposits, and some day, perhaps.
borings will be possible which will
then discover an almost limitless
source of heat. Finally, it is conceiva-
BILE that the problem Of the disintegra-
ton of matter generally will one day
be solved. If a gram of lead could be
completely resolved into helium, the
energy thereby produced would be
equal to that yielded by the burning
of 200 tons of coal.

Reindeer Meat.

The former United States commits
sioner at Saint Michael, Alaska, Will
liam B. Stephenson. writes in his new
book about Alaska, "The Land of To
morrow" that "the reindeer reaches
of the far North are destined to solve
the meat question for the United
States"
Reindeer breeding is fast becom-
ing an important factor. and here
again one must revert to the land.
Reindeer need space, for they are the
beef of Alaska and must have pas
turage. This pasturage is always to
be had. Reindeer steaks are and have
been for long time regularly quoted
on the Seattle markets. That they
will one day figure conspicuously in
our meat supply cannot be questioned.
Already the big packing concerns have
sent their representatives to look over
the ground. There is one drawback
to this industry, however, which will
have to be adjusted and regulated be-
fore 1t can become profitable. The
cost of shipping is now prohibitive.
Alaska now has 100000 reindeer. With
in the next ten years she will have
100000"

that through him she had brought her

He paid her, went to his hotel, and
thence to his train for home. Never
did he so seem to move through a
world of dream-stuff; for he knew
that he was not more credulous than
other men, and if he could believe
what he had believed, though he had
believed it for no longer than a mo-
ment or two, what hold had he or
any other human being on reality?
His credulity vanished Tor so he
thought) with his recollection that it
was he, and not the alleged 'Lopa,"
who had suggested the word amber"
Going over the notifying, plain
facts OF his experience, he found that
Mrs. Horner, or the subdivision or
Mrs. Horner known as "Lopa," had
told him to think of bell and OF
color, and that being furnished with
these scientific data, he had leaped
to the conclusion that he spoke with
Isabel Anderson!
For moment he had believed that
Isabel was there, believed that she
was close to him, entreating him-en-
treating him ito be kind" But with
this recollection a strange agitation
came upon him. After all, had she
not spoken to him? If his own un-
known consciousness had told the
.psychic's" unknown consciousness
how to make the picture of the pref
ty brown-haired, brown-eyed lady,
hadn't the true Isabel-oh, indeed her
very soul !-called to him out or his
own true memory of her?
And as the train roared through the
darkened evening he looked out be-
yond his window, and saw her as he
had seen her on his journey, a few
days ago-an ethereal figure flying be-
side the train, but now it seemed to
him that she kept her face toward his
window with an infinite wistfulness.
"To be kind!" If it had been
Isabel, was that what she would have
said? If she were anywhere, and could
come to him through the invisible wall
what would be the first thing she
would say to him?
All, well enough, and perhaps bit
terly enough, he knew the answer to
that question! ITO be Eind'-to

Why Panics Are No More

If the Democratic party had ac-
complished nothing more than the
passage of the Federal Reserve
Act, it would be entitled to the en-
during gratitude of the nation.
This act supplied the country with
an elastic currency controlled by
the American people. Panics-
the recurring phenomena of dis
aster which the Republican party
could neither control nor explain
are now but memory. Under
the Republican system, there was
an average of one bank failure
every twenty-one days for a per-
iod of nearly forty years. After
the passage of the Federal Re-
serve System, there were, in 1915,
four bank failures; in 1916 and
1917, three bank failures; in 1918,
ON lark failure; and in 1919, no
bank failures at all. The Federal
Reserve System, passed over op-
position of the leaders of the Re-
publican party, enabled America
to withstand the strain of war
without shock or panic; and ulti-
mately made our country the
greatest creditor nation of the
world.-Homer Cummings.

Senator Fincher
Visitor to Gilpin County

Senator Siewers Fincher, of
Breckenridge, was visiting in Gill
pin county this week and was
cordially received by many friends
who have known him for years.
He represents this county as we'll
as the counties of Clear Creek,
Grand and Summit in the state
senate.
Senator Fincher has the reputa-
tion of being one of the really
strong men in the state senate.
He is never afraid to take a posi-
tioD on any public question, and
does so without fear as to wheth-
er it will be popular or otherwise.
His Legislative experience ex-
tends over eight years and during
that time he has taken an active
and leading part in every session
Some of the best constructive leg
islation on our statute books has
been introduced and passed by
him, for example our present in
surance code and our state land
laws. His knowledge of parlia-
mentary practice, and of the rules
governing the two houses of the
legislature, is second only to the
Nestor of the Senate, Billy Ad-
ans. This district will make no
mistake in returning him to the

Lone Star Mine To Work

j. E. Kennedy and E. j. Chur-
chill, of Denver, have recently
started work on the Lone Star
mine No. 2 near Missouri lake.
The property lies south of the
well known Lone Star mine which
produced a large surface pocket
some years ago. The pocket on
the Lone Star was encountered at
about sixty feet in depth and is
said to have produced about sew
enty thousand dollars. The Lone
Star is about thirty feet in depth
and has about eighteen inches in
width of ore. An average sack
sample of the entire vein carried
values of 317.20 ozs. in silver. An
assorted sample of the ore assayed
Ola ozs. gold, 1103.50 ozs. in sill
yer and 4.22 per cent copper, a
total value of $1122.33.
This property is being prospect
ed under a lease and bond. Good
parties are reported to be interest
ed and it is expected if Develop
ments justify it that extensive
work will result in the near fu-
ture.
