Originally "Easterlino."

Sterling, in such applications as
sterling silver, has a curious history.
The people, especially merchants, from
Germany, were called Easterlings, be-
cause the country lay east of England.
About the time of King Richard. mon
ey coined in Germany came into great
demand in England. Men skilled in
minting were imported into England,
and the coins they produced were call
ed easterlings, after the name Of i'm
ported workmen. BY the tendency Of
abridgment that seems inherent in all
languages, the first part of the world
was dropped, and the word became
sterling.

From MIR. Hilburn in Colorado.

Editor Iron County Register
have had couple of letters from
friends who are REGISTER readers
who have asked me to write oftener
for the REGISTER and make the let
ters longer. So will try to tell Of
my trip to the beautiful little city of
Boulder. My folks having passes
naturally went by rail, but through
the courtesy of friend and neighbor
Twas given seat in one OF the
worlds most famous automobiles
known also as Ford roadster. And
/ want to say for the much laughed at
and highly respected Ford, it made
the sixty mile round-trip and two
tours of the city of Boulder without
the sound of hammer or the lifting
OF monkey wrench. On the return
trip We passed through good sum-
mer shower that was accompanied
with liberal allowance of electricity.
During and after the rain we passed
several cars that needed or seemed to
need attention under the hood. We
supposed they had dry weather
engines. They were nearly all diff
ferent makes to the one we were
fortunate enough to have been riding.
But to return to the trip, or rather
the country thru which the trip was
made. We went north on Federal,
and even before leaving uhe city limits
of Denver, the scenery was one grand
carnival OF beauty. Both hill and val
ley being in high state Of cultivation
and just now when the wheat and
oats Is being harvested and the alfalfa,
some fields showing a wondrous
green while others were covered with
a world of purple blooms. The STRAW
colored fields where ripe grain was
ready for the harvest, or already in
the shock, lent pleasing variety to
the scenery. Passing over hill
where miles and miles Of farm land
spread out to the view, one could
hardly suppress cry Of delight.
One must see Colorado with her
scenes Of pure delight to appreciate
Gods Goodness in the wondrous gift

After dispatching a goodly portion Of
the good things that the ladies Of the
party had SO thoughtiully prepared

Permit Granted to Dam Current River.

The Western Tie & Timber Compa-
ny has obtained Federal permit to
establish dam in Current River at
Red Rock Landing, eight miles below
Eminence and about a mile and half
below the Junction, at a point where
Current River and Jacks Fork come
together.
The Company plans 80 foot dam at
Red Rock. This will form lake of
backwater which will reach within
two miles of Eminence on Jacks Fork
and will back up Current River about
the same distance, forming lake in
the shape of half moon, reaching
from some five miles up each fork to
the junction itself and beyond, thus
making beautiful sheet of water ten
miles in length and 80 feet deep in
the deepest part.
Electric power and light from water
power furnished by this dam will be
sent to many surrounding towns, in
Guiding Eminence, West Eminence,
aWinona, Summersyille, Birch Tree,
Houston, Monteer. Mountain View,
Centerville. and many other towns in
that section.
\ 1t is also planned to establish and
build an electric railroad. This road
connecting with the Frisco at Cabool
and the Missouri Pacific at Ironton,
will be highway trade. Eminence
then will no longer be an inland town,
but will be on main line connecting
two great systems. There will be
passenger cars every two hours.
The lake formed by the dam will be
stocked with fish. There will be sum-
mer camps and summer resorts, club
houses and every thing that goes to
make pleasant outing. 1t is expect
ed the lake and it's surroundings will
be one of the greatest summer re-
sorts in the Ozarks.

proposed mountain climb. Now
you may think that foolhardy for
man on the last lap of his sixty fifth
year, but five of us started for the
mountain the foot of which was less
than quarter away When we had
reached an elevation of about two
hundred feet three of the party fell
out and sat down to wait while myself
and the other remaining climber went
on up toward the great slabs of stone
that stand at an angle of about
twenty or twenty-five degrees from
the perpendicular, and which not
even a goat could climb. When we
had passed the first bunch of stunted
pine and turned for look at the val
ley behind US the sight that met our
gaze was ample pay for the effort.

of six hundred feet above Boulder the
view that spread out before us was
wonderful. We counted dozen
lakes; all of which my companion
said were made by the hand of man;
and to their precious contents was
due to the abundant harvest, that
seemed everywhere present. II those
gigantic rocks, the silent sentinels of

University is located in Boulder and
the city shows many signs of wealth

bit of street improvement in pro-

they appreciate the beauty Of their
surroundings. While there is great
variety of summer cottages there are
also many beautiful and substantial
residences. Substantial additions are
also being added to the State UNI
versity buildings. Boulder is said to
be about four hundred feet higher
