RAYMER METROPOLIS
OF new COUNTY

The preliminary figures Of the cen
sus have been given out. showing the
population OF the county by pre-
cincts and also OF the various ir,
corporated towns.
The proposed county Of Pawnee
comes very close to the estimate we
placed upon the population some
months ago. We guessed It then at
5000. The ten voting precincts
show an enumeration of 5,246. and
there are parts of two other pre-
cincts within the proposed county
which would bring the number very
close to $500.
Weld county was estimated by ex-
perts at $1,000, and the count show
ed 1894, so our guess on Pawnae
came closer to the actual count than
the experts did on Weld.
Here are the figures on the differ
ent precincts.-

ASSEMBLY ASP|RANTS
FAIL TO FILE

That neither ballot in the Weld
county primary election Of Septem-
ber IA can legally bear the names
OF single candidate for state SEN
ator or state representative Is the
statement OF attorneys who have
been investigating the status Of To-
cal legislative candidates following
the legal wrangle over Denyer's DEM
ocratic legislative ticket.
None of the Weld candidates for
the senate or house have filed ac-
ceptances with Secretary of State
James holland but have instead filed
their acceptanees with County Clerk
Charles E. Littell. Legislators are
state rather than county officers and
the attorneys claim that in order to
qualify as candidates the men des-
isnated by both parties should have
filed acceptances with Noland and
that he in turn would then have
certified them back to Clerk Littell.
No candidate can be put on the tic
ket by petition, as the law requires
all petitions to be filed at least 80
days before the primary election. On
primary election day voters can
write in their choice Of legislative
tickets In case the space provided
for legislative candidates should be
left vacant.
Judge Herbert NJ. Baker, who is
chairman of the local democratic
Non-partis:a c"Gc a!zat,cn, said Fri
day noon he did not anticipate any
difficulty over the failure of legisla-
tive candidates to properly file their
acceptances.
There is no contest here,' the
judge said. that would cause any
one to start injunction proceedings
to prevent names OF legislative can
didatos being printed on the ticket.
| feel confident that Mr.. Littell will
place the names OF the candidates on
the ticket unless he should be re-
strained from so doing. The deci-
sions Of Judge Butler on the Denver
cases have no force in Weld county.
! think that there is no need Of bor-
rowing trouble over the matter"
County Clerk Littell stated that he
had not looked into the matter thor
oily as yet but would do so at once.
The legislative candidates desig-
mated at the assembly are: republi-
can-H. II. Harbaugh H Il. Tedman,

New Christmas Tree Lights

Making the Christmas tree safe is
the main point to be considered in tree
lighting. Gone are the days of the
small wax candles, that were pretty,
but so nusafe on a tree trimmed with
tinsel, paper DOLLS and flimsy things
An electrically lighted tree is thesafest
kind of tree for the children.
Various decorative lighting outfits
have been on the market for tree
illumination such as the simple outfit
consisting of eight colored electric
light bulbs all wired to the main plug
or one with sixteen or twenty-four
colored light bulbs. With outfits wired
in series, the chief drawback has been
that when one lamp goes out it throws
the whole tree in darkness. This sea-
son there is announced new lighting
outfit consisting of transformer, nine
and a half feet of main cord with
twenty branches and miniature lamp
holders, twenty-one little lamps in red,
blue green, orange and frosted white.
This new lighting outfit is wired in
multiple, therefore damage to one
lamp will not put out the others.
