Regarding the strike, which
attracted widespread attention,
Touopalt Bonanza says:
Discovered CrlpiVo Creole
"Late reports vouch for the
covcry of n high grade cold camp in
Oregon. At least specimens of high
grade alleged to Iinvc come from
.Kano creek have been exhibited and
n faint forerunner of a nih is evi
dent in thnt section of the map. Ac
counts of the find real like some of
the good old stories that came from
Cripple Creek, Goldficld and Tonopah
tluriucr the infancy of thoc enmp-,
but tho raot remarknble feature of
the new discovery is that it m cred
ited to n miner named V. O. Wo
mnck. This is a name that causes
every old warhorse of the Colorado
field to spread his nostrils and in
dulge in n reminiscence of the early
days of '92.
"Bob Womack discovered Cripple
Creek nnd died a beeuar. lie never
could keep n dollar and he pained
nothintr from the find that turned
hundreds of millions to tho hnnds
of others. Wtimnck was one of the
unfortnnnlo hnppy-jo-luckv Kip
Van Winkles whose name is coupled
with scores of rich finds. Never
theless, few men hnd the opportuni
ties of Bob Womnck. but he was in
herently worthless nnd eoidd not turn
his knowledcc to any ndvnntnse. AU
lie -wanted wns to see the chance of
hiak'inc a winning nt faro or roulette
or to' indulge his social proclivities
villi one arm crooked over the bar
and a bunch of parasites around lis
tening 'to his oft-told tale.
Most Mero Gamblers
If fortune was fickle with poor
Bob Womnck it repaid others most
libcrallv, for, it is a jcmarknble fact
that most ftf the men who made for
Jnnes Li Cripple Creek knew nothing
of the game they plajpd and were
nothing more than creatures of eir
rurastapees. They were a lot of
fanners nnd jnylinpkprx looked npou
jyilh the utmost contempt by tho
miners of .Colorado Iio syrapatjiired
with their stupidity in locnting a
territory ljmt had already le,en cx
jdoited by ,tio best talent of tlie Cen
tennial state. These men had con
de;nn.ed thp district nnd miners re
fused ,io look in nt llip lilneo for
moutlis after t)io first cry pf gpld
had gono forth through the sur-
rpiuid'mr hills and rcyerhcrnlcil from
thp lofty lu'ights of Bill's Peak.
Thp ru!! drew a lot of lungers nnd
idlers who hud nothing else to do,
nnd they were tho ones to garner the
millions extracted from 8iie.li mines
nR the Independence. Portland. Elk
ton, Cold King, C. K. & N Sover
eign. .Isabella and Jackpot.
, '"hi" the meantime Boh Womnck sat
nn'a'diiinp or in a downtown drink
dump egaling listeners -with the
pforvtof his own ieniious greatness.
JVJicn he died ho was buried at the
expense of the sporting element. Not
n siiit'lo dollar was subscribed by
hie companies identified with the
"district.
"Let better things bo said of the
now Womack of Orearon. and let us
jnll Jiopo' that tho discovery toward
wio nunig sun ivui iiiuiiicaic
revelntion of Cripplo Creek."
IP $1,500,000, WHY NOT $500,000?
TWO yonrs go tho pooplo oL' ilnolcsou oounly vototl
ovci'whcliningly in favor of Uonding tho county Tor
$1,500,000 to construct n system of highways?. Tho su
premo court hold tho hond election invalid, because of tho
failure of the legislature of 1011 to pass an .enabling act
carrying into effect tho road constitutional amendment
of 1910.
In 19J2 tho people again amended, the constitution,
restricting the issuance of bonds for highway construction
to tin amount not exceeding two per cent, ot tho assessed
valuation of tho county. As .Jackson count vs assessed
valuation is approximately $3(1,000,000, this limited the
bond issue to $720,000.
A petition was presented asking the count v court to
call a special election to vote $700,000 thirtv-voar 5 per
cent highway bonds. The court rejected the petition,
Holding that the bonds would nnd a better market it the
amount was kqpt well, under the limit of indebtedness,
and the bonds wore retired at stated intervals, as they
would then comply with the requirements of insurance
companies, practically the only bond buyers in the marker
under prevailing conditions.
The county court litis followed a conservative and busi
nesslike course. If the people are satisfied with the con
struction of the main county highway and the expendi
ture of the money voted, there will still bo ample time to
vote the additional $220,000 lor the improvement ot lat
eral highways.
If the people did not hesitate to plunge the county a
million and a half in debt for good roads, whv should thev
hesitate to vote a third of the amount for the main high
way, which in any case would have been the first road
improved? Is it pot the part of prudence and wisdom to
build our highway system in sections, the most important
first, so that we can see whether we get value for the
money"?
The $1,500,000 was voted to be expended under the
supervision of the county court and an advisory board of
citizens, none of whom were road experts. Aluoh of the
money would therefore have been unnecessarily wasted.
Tho $500,000 now asked is to be expended under the direc
tion of the state highway engineer, the most skilled and
competent road builder in the northwest, who has built
its finest highwavs and whose repute is nation wide,
whose ability and integrity are unquestioned.
Tho $1,500,000 was voted without promise of co-oper
ation or assistance from the state. The $500,000 is asked,
with the definite promise of the state highway commis
sion to pay all engineering and supervision cost, and the
promise of co-operation financially, for which purpose
there will be $240,000 in the state treasury next year.
The $1,500,000 was voted without the prospect of en
couraging local industry or developing loal resources.
Outside of the money spent for labor, all cement and sup
plies would have been purchased outside the county. A
large part of the $1,500,000 would not have been left in
the. .county. The $500,000 is asked with the definite un
derstanding that practically the entire amount, plus what
the state expends, will be left in Jackson county and that
it will encourage and develop a needed enterprise, a
cement plant, entailing a $000,000 investment and a per
manent payroll of large size.
If the 1,500,000 appeared a good investment to the
people of Jackson county two years ago, is there any
question but that the $500,000 is a far better investment
for the people of Jackson county today?

worse to come. Tho Bitchie-Wolsh

This is tin) conclusion of nlany

Bud Anderson, prizefighter, is nam
ed as the corespondent in a divorce
action brought by City I 'ace against

says, in spite of his remonstrances.
The husband recites how his wife
wrote Jove letters to tho pric

dearing and affectionate names.
Nothing that ho could do or say had
any weight with the wife, whoao in
fatuation for the fighter increased,
nceording to tho story, and tho trips
grew more frequent and regular.
