A THING- OP TUB PAST.
The recalling of the military from
Cripple Creek practically cuds the
train of events which have given
Colorado so much unfortunate
notoriety through the Hast within
the past year says the Daily Mining
Record. This final act upon the
part of the state authorities is there
lore a matter of congratulation to
those who have invested capital in
the mines of this state not because
there has ever been any danger to
the vested interests of any stock
holder or mine owner, but because
of the fact that disturbed conditions
such as the state has passed through
have 1 tendency to hamper the
normal movement of business and
capital and to clog industrial advan
cement. The great number of
Kasterncrs who are interested in
Colorado mining companies will
surely feel easier now that the
strained conditions are at an end,
and local mining men can derive
satisfaction from the fact that the
industry has been relieved of an
unnecessary and wasteful burden.
As the Record recently remarked,
those who so far misinterpret condi
tions in Colorado as to withhold
themselves from profitable invest
ments in this state are merely cut
ting off their own noses. The labor
situation has never been as serious
as painted, and it has been far
from approaching in importance the
recent meat strike, which has
directed the attention of the coun
try to other centers of business.
Hut, granted that the conditions
here have been a deterrent to Indus
try nud to the investment of capital
the matter is now at an end and
those who have pleaded the late
strike as nn argument against the
mines and investment opportunities
of Colorado must, if they are logi
cal, chatigo their tunc and begin to
argue in another strain. Let those
who have assisted in hurting the
state by spreading damaging infor
mation now do as much toward re
pairing the evil that has been done.
Perhaps it may be aaid that the
packers' strike in Chicago and else
where has proven the ill wind to
blow Colorado a little good in the
way of shifting the weather-vane of
attention to another quarter. It
will, in any event, assist the public
to forget a bit of recent unwelcome
history which is now at an end and
may just as well be lorgotten for
the better reason that it is dead and
buried. The miners of Colorado
are doing better than ever, so let
us reflect upon pleasant things for
awhile.

tion must take active measures to
promote the interests of each indi

order being accomplished now. I
am at this, time surprised to note
the amount of good encompassed
by the several individual industrial
institutions throughout the state.
The plau of organizations is to
form a large number of branch or

The duty of the state organization,
as thus constituted, will be to col

state, and through the central
office exploit them to the world at

of a new era in the history of the'

her people happier than ever before
in the annals of the commonwealth.

Falling Snag.
Lafc J. Parazoo who has been in
the employ of the Iiooth-Kclley
number Company at their mill near
Saginaw, was killed on Tuesday
afternoon by the breaking off of
the top of a snag which he was
cutting down.

have removed, While at work the
top broke off and struck him on the
bead crushing his skull, after which
he never gained conciousness and
died in a few hours.
He was signalman when working
at the mill.
He was about 25 years of age
and leaves a father, mother, sister

OET THE HABIT RIGHT AWAV.
An exchange gives the people the
following bit of advice which is
good solid wisdom for citizens of
'every town:
"If you are not standing up for
your home town 16rm the habit.
Look aronnd at the home indus
tries and home dealers before going
away from home for a single article
j By this practice your town will be
made to prosper and you will
make a better citizen for the town.
We must have home pride to cope
with your neighbors, and without
a local pride which encourages and
supports home enterprise they
must ot necessity tan. snow an
interest in your home town to the
greatest extent possible and the
result will be a continued growth
and prosperity." Roseburg Re
