PERT TOPICS
Aside from the 06-point head lines, ,
the Ouray Plaindealer really prints a
great deal of news and shows great I
Improvement recently, typographically
and from u local standpoint.
Special Note:—The last issue of the
Granite Mining Jourual does notoon
tain any news mention of the finding
of #100,000 gold ore. This is the first
miss for several months and the editor
tmist he sick or on a vacation.
Going down on the train the other
morning were several Italians who j
were hound for the old country, hav- '
ing made enough money here to keep
them the balance of their lives in
Italy. They said they were never 1
coming back, prefering to live in
their own country. Excuse these tears.
Why is it. that two newspapers pub
lished in the same town never can get
along together? Now there are the
two papers at Steamboat Springs
Ihe Pilot and the Sentinel— both of
them excellent newspapers, but bit
terly lighting each other: also the I
Avalanefie and the Post of Gieuwood, ;
who hurl nasty slaps at each other
every week. Surely the men at the
head of these papers are old enough '
in the newspaper game to know that j
such practices do not pay - that, in;
fact, they are disgust jug to many per
sons who take the papers for the sake |
of the local new* and who do not at
all care for the barking and bickering
of two editors who do not think alike.
The Marble Booster is but a little
paper—not nearly so big as any of
those mentioned but the Post, the
Avalanche, the Pilot and the Santinel ]
might well take it as a pattern when it i
comes to letting a barking contain- !
porary alone. None of the papers
mentioned, however, have yet de
scended to the language used by the
Lake City Times in personally attack
ing the editor of the Montrose Press.
Last week the Times said: "If Adams
of tiie Montrose Press was only as
large in stature as he is iu principle |
he could put a crupper on a skunk
without bunding his knees and at the
same time remain iu his own congenial
atmosphere.’’ Editor Adams is yet to
hear from.

Congregational churches, held at j
Montrose September 26-29. There was !
a large attend a nee at the convention j

of the Mission House for one year to
the Union church. The Episcopalian
services will be held the fourth Sun
day of eacn month.
Now that winter is near at hand,
can we not expect a full attendance at'

tne church of Christ in Marble?

! Glenwood Post:—D. W. Shores, of
1 Carbondale, who attended the big
banquet at the Colorado Wednesday
- evening, says no potato sales are now
being made ip the Carbondale country
as the farmers refuse to sell at the
present price of 80 and 90 cents, al
though other years they would con
sider that a big orice. Shores says
nearly all have sold a carload or two
at the prices prevailing some time ago,
#1 25 to #1.30, and they will put the
balance in the cellars and hold them
for better prices which they think are
sure to come. He says already po
tatoes have been shipped out of the
Carbondale section this fall to the
value of about $75,000, which is cer- 1
tuiuly going some, considering that
the digging is only well begun.
One of the patrons of the theater
here asks The Booster to print this: j
Why couldn't we have some moving
nictures representing scenes in foreign !
lands? Or notable places of interest in j
America? AU love scenes and comics ‘
is apt to grow wearisome.
The Booster force is strictly in favor |
of declaring a public nuisance that j
accordion performer who holds out j
on State street a short distance from;
this office, and to deport him if he can
not Ik* cured of the habit. It isn't so
much the plaintive tones of the instru
ment that are objected to as ft is the 1
continuity of the tune.
The Rev. J. A. Walton and boys, I
with Joseph Breeden and Nilil Bud-1
long formed a grouse hunting party
which spent the last day of the season
in the field after the birds. Joe got
lost but was found by the parson.
The party got four grouse and re
ported the birds few and far between. !
G. ('. Faltz. head butcher at the City'
market, was more fortunate. All by
himself he shot seventeen nice grouse
in one day’s hunting with the editor's
shotgun—which, by the way, is better!
than that gun ever did in the hands of
its owner.
A “strong man” who apppeared at
the theater the other night as a special |
attraction was the victim of a practi
cal joke. One of his stunts was to j
break a horseshoe with It is hands. |
The horseshoe he supplied himself and |
those i»e listed were made of cast iron. .
One of the boys he had helping him on !
the stage substituted a steel horseshoe
and the man of strength almost burst i
a humestring trying to pull that steel
idice in two pieces. He tried and tried j
but bad to admit failure. Then au ex
amination of the shoe showed him the 1
trick that had been played upon him.
Mad? O, no.
Last week's issue of The Booster i
might not have been up to the usual .
j standard in the w ay of variety of read
! ing matter, but it was the most gratify- j
j ing issue the editor yet has printed in
Marble, due to the unusual amount of i
space carried by the old reliable tirms
that have been with the paper from the
beginning. The paper looked pros
perous aud if every uutnber carried
an equal amount of advertising The
Booster would make a much better
appearance among the strangers on
the outside who take it. Thus the town
itself would create a much more fav
orable. impression, for nothing im
presses a stranger concerning a town
like the newspaper printed there. It
is supposed to be a directory of the
business interests and when they are
not represented iu its columns the
stranger concludes that the merchants
arc not progressive. f
Dances that are Announced.
The W. O. W. are planning on en
tertaining a great many lovers of
dancing next Monday night at Yeo
men hall when they will give a party
for which great preparation ha9 been
made. The full Tischhauser-Frost or
chestra will play, which is a guarantee
that the music will be worth the price
or admission even if you do not dance.
Lunch will be served.
The Yeomen have announced a
grand mask ball for Halloweeu night,
which comes October 31. No dancers
who are not masked will be permitted
on the floor until after the unmasking.
This notice meuns what it says, too,
according to Oscar Chambers. The
full Tlsehhauser-Frost orchestra will
play for this dance, also. A feature
will be the serving of a lunch consist
ing of generous ham sandwiches, pump
kin pie and coffee.
The Masons announce a dance for
Thanksgiving eve. It has not been de
termined yet whether tins will l»e u c.o«-
tunie dance, but the probabilities are
that it will be.
