Too Much for a Neophyte.

To a colored convert a southern
clergyman said: "Supposing you were
walking along the road and saw low
hanging branch and on that branch
was a nice fat chicken, what would
you do?"

begged the convert.

Catholic Churches Guarded by Police

New York.-A police guard was
posted at every Roman Catholic
church in Greater New York upon or
ders issued by Chief Inspector Leahy.
The bluecoats were instructed pre-
vent persons carrying suspicious bun
dies from entering the churches, and
also to prevent lettering. Inspector
Leahy refused to give any reason for
the unusual action. There have been
several fires recently in Catholic
churches in Montreal, Canada, and in
northern New York.

Leasing Company Will Begin Ship
ments Next Week.
Milton w. Emmett, of Kellogg, man
ager of the Argentine Leasing COM
pany, was in the city yesterday He
stated that the O.-W. r. & N. COM
pany had practically completed the
side track which will permit loading
the ore direct from the bin which is
connected with the tramway, and that
the company will begin shipments next
week. About 300 tons of ore has been
broken and is ready to be moved This
ore, Mr.: Emmett estimates, carries 20
ounces of silver and or 4 per cent
copper and will be treated at the
Sweeny mill. Besides this class of
ore, he says, there is a shoot about
three feet wide which assays from so
to $50 ounces of silver and from 10 to
Is per cent copper, which will be ship
ped direct to the Bunker Hill smelter.
The Argentine ore has a high per-
eentage of spathic iron, which makes
it highly desirable smelling ore and
which enables the leasing company to
obtain an exceptionally favorable
smelling rate. Altogether Mr. Emmett
is decidedly optimistic regarding the
future of Argentine.

FIRE PREVENTION WILL
Be SUBJECT OF ADDRESS
PUBLIC URGED TO ATTEND NEXT
MEETING OF BOARD
OF TRADE.

At the meeting of the board of trade
yesterday the president announced
that Jay w. Stevens. of San Francis
CO. chief of the bureau of fire proven
ton maintained by the National Board
of Fire Underwriters and also secre-
tary of the Pacific Coast Association
of Fire Chiefs, would address the
board at the meeting next Wednesday
on fire prevention. 1t is through the
efforts of J. c. Boyd, chief of the
Wallace fire department that the peO-
pie of this city will have an oppOr-
tunity to hear Mr.. Stevens. His sub
ject is one that deeply concerns every
citizen and he has the faculty of pre-
senting it in a manner that never fails
60 make a deep impression. Mr.. Stew
ems will arrive on the noon train We'd
nesday and come at once to the Ban
quet restaurant where his address
will be delivered. An invitation is ex-
tended to the public, regardless of
membership in the board of trade, to
attend the luncheon that day and hear
Mr.. Stevens. In the afternoon Mr..
Stevens viii confer with Fire Chief
Boyd and members of the committee
from the board of trade regarding ar
rangemcnts for the annual convention
of Pacific coast fire chiefs, which will
be held in this city in August Ar
rangements will probably be made for
him to address the people of Kellogg |
also.
Forest Fire Prevention.
A. letter was read from c. K. Nc
Harg, of Occur d'Alene, forest super
visor calling attention to forest fire !
prevention week beginning April p
and asking the cooperation of the |
board in its observance. In this con-
nection d. A. Callahan called atten-
ton to the apparent lack of interest
of the people in protecting the timber
resources of the state. He spoke of a
carefully prepared bill introduced in
the upper house of the last legislature
under which the state would have
taken steps to protect the forests, and
that only seven votes were recorded
in favor of it. He felt that the board
of trade should cooperate with the
forest service and other agencies in
forest fire prevention and moved that
the president appoint a permanent
committee of three for that purpose.
The motion was unanimously adopted.
Ore Exhibit in ST. Paul.
John F. Ferguson stated that while
in st. Paul recently he visited the ex-
hibit of resources of the northwest
maintained by the Northern Pacific
Railway company, and was surprised
to find that the mines of the Occur
d'Alene district were practically with
out representation. He was assured
by the superintendent that if he would
send an exhibit of ores it would be
given a good position. On motion of
Mr.. Ferguson, the president was au-
thorized to appoint a committee Of
three to collect and send representa-
tive ores to st. Paul for a permanent
exhibit.

purpose to extend the lower tunnel
through the fault, and the showing of
ore in the tunnel above gives strong
assurance that the same ore shoot
will be found, of equally good grade.
Mr.. Brady says the leasers shipped
their ore to the Bunker Hill smelter
and the returns showed that it car
ried 40 per cent lead and As ounces in
silver The extension of the tunnel
beyond the fault will attain a depth
of $50 feet The Panhandle ground
covers the vein for a distance of 5000
feet. Mr.. Brady estimates that within
80 days he will have the ore on the
east side of the fault Local people
are associated with him in the enter
prise.

DENVER MAN
SPEAKS HERE

A noon-day luncheon of the Jules
burg Community Club was held at the
Lincoln Cafe Monday, at which about
forty business men and citizens were
present and partook Of sumptuous
feed" served by the management of
the Lincoln. The occasion of the
luncheon was to hear an address from
Mr.. John A. Crook, prominent civil
engineer and business man of Denver,
who had been spending a few days-in
Julesburg visiting at the home of
county commissioner John c. Wag-
ner. Mr. Crook. who is an orator of
wide reputation as well as one of the
big business men of the West. will not
soon be forgotten by those who heard
his very impressive and interesting
talk on transportation and cooper
alton, in which he painted picture of
the bright and glorious future of
Colorado and the West. Although op-
timistic in his remarks, Mr.. Crook
substantiated his arguments with con-
vincing facts and figures, in which he
is well versed, and brought to his lis
teners message of very interesting
and beneficial nature. Julesburg is
fortunate in having such a distin-
guished visitor as Mr.. Crook and to
have had the opportunity to listen to
an address such as delivered by him
here last Monday.

COMMUNITIES
GROW WITH THE
PROPER SUPPORT

Communities grow in proportion to
the support given them by their resi-
dents. You cannot boost Julesbuurg
by trading elsewhere or placing bust
ness in other localities that could be
placed at home.
Folks who try to save pennies Of
tentimes lose dollars. The home mer-
chant is generally honest and offers
honest values for your money. He
can't afford to be otherwise. He de-
pends for his living from the COM
munity and must give the commun-
ity what it wants at fair price.
When you are tempted to trade out
side and purchase "just as good mer.
chandise at greatly reduced prices"
you should think twice before buying.
If you are "stung" by your home
merchant he will no doubt be glad to
make an adjustment. The out-of-
town merchant is not personally in
terested in you. He is intent on sell
ing you this once and probably does
not expect to sell you again. He does
not have to take great care in pre-
serving your good will.
More than owing it to your COM
munity to trade at home, thus keep
ing your money at home, you should
give the home merchant first oppor-
tunity to serve you, from a sound
economic standpoint.

FIRE DESTROYS
SPRAGUE HOME
NEAR HAXTUN

Harry B. Sprague, well known
farmer living in the Fairfield com
munity, had the misfortune to lose
his home by fire.
This is the fourth recent fire in the
rural district northeast of Haxtun.
On Tuesday morning about 2:3O
O'Clock, the family was awakened and
found the fire already raging in an
adjacent building some twenty or
thirty feet from the house occupied
by the family. The building was used
as a sleeping apartment for some of
the older children.
The evening before some Of the
children had gone to the home of Err
nest Mattson to hear the radio, and
on their return, they decided to sleep
fire had been built in the stove in the
other building, but after ten o'clock
it was not looked after, and it is pre-
sumed that the fire started from that
stove, in some manner.
The fire had caught the main resi-
dence before the family were awaken
ed. Mr.. Sprague Immediately sent
in general alarm on both telephone
lines and many neighbors responded,
but were too late to be Of any help.
Fred Woodham was the first and
only neighbor to arrive in time to help.
Everything in the residence was saw
ed except an electric washing ma
chine. the cook stove and few small
articles.
Insurance of $4,000 was carried on
the two buildings, both of which
burned to the ground. The household
goods were insured, but most all saw
ed.
Mr.. Sprague has moved into anoth-
er small building on the farm, and
distributed most of their furniture
with neighbors until he can rebuild

STOLEN CAR
RECOVERED
in WYOMING
TAKEN FROM HERE
Auto Thief Apprehend-
ed And Will Be Tried
In Wyoming On Num-
erous Charges; Car Is
Returned Here

About three weeks ago a Ford car
belonging to Lewellyn Burton of this
city was stolen from the Burton
place. and for two weeks or more the
officers made an effort to locate the
car, which finally resulted in the dis
covery of the same at Burns, Wyom-
ing, the latter part of last week, and
sheriff Cunningham was notified to
this effect by the Wyoming officers.
The information was also given that
Alva Luckenbill, who was found in
possession of the stolen car. had been
apprehended and lodged in Jail at
Cheyenne. Because of numerous
charges against Luckenbill, he will be
held in Wyoming where. it is thought
that he can be most effectively pro-
secuted. Luckenbill, in addition to be-
ing wanted in Julesburg for the theft
of the Burton car, is also wanted at
Greeley, Brush, Sidney, Nebr., North
Platte, Nebr. and other places, where
it is alleged that he committed numer-
Gus petty thefts. Sheriff Cunning
ham, in company with Mr.. Burton,
went to Cheyenne Sunday and re-
turned here Tuesday with the latter's
car.
