Says Sign Is O. K.
Current criticism is fond of pointing
out facts and near facts, and exceed
ingly so as regards the prohibition Inl
and display of “booze” signs With
respect to the prohibition Jaw such
criticisms as the above menti ned are
made entirely in consonce with the
cause of prohibition. Hut it is an entire
ly different question when one becomes
imbued with the erroneous idea that
signs containing the wor 1 *L” com
monly standing for “Liquor,” are ne
cessarily “Noxious Legends” or in
violation of the law’.
In reply to my unknown critic in last
week's issu of the Siftings News. I
wish to lay stress on the fact that it
behooves him to confine his
to himself in general; and, by so doing,
he will confer a great favor on the
whole community, since there are many
tax payers who have been burdened
with a great deal of unrest on account
of the tactics on the part <>f a few per
sons who pay little or no taxes.
Finally, I wish to enlighten my critic
on the fact that the sign, S. W. L. Co.,
is in no way an infringement ot the
prohibition law and I take exception to
the construction placed by my critic in
last week’s paper; moreover, I consider
it very ungentlemanlike. My sign cost
me SIOO.OO and the illumination from ii
is furnished to the city at my expense.
Notwithstanding, if I) R. Y. feels the
-ight of such an illuminating sign an
“Eye Sore” he need only reimburse me
for the co tof the same and his wish
will be granted immediately.

It was suggested ‘hat all stamps
and stamped envelopes be pur
chased at the local post office, iu
an effort to raise it to the second
! class, a distinction to be claimed
!by no other city of 2500 in the
Mate. Large companies with
offices in the east were accused of
supplying the local officers wi*h
such supplies.
This issue of the Sif ings con
tained a cut of the John Owens
property —the plant on Amy C.
and Freighter’s Friend. Both
mines were old producers and had
nearly a quarter of a million to

j good o*"e was continu us and ap
-1 parently inexhaustable.

A shortage of coal because of a
strike in the northern Colorado
fields was interfering seriously
with the mining industry. In
many instances the complete clos
ing down of the mines worked a
dangerous and expensive hardship, !
necessitating new timbering to pre
vent cave-ins. Boulder had been
without light or fuel for a week.
Coal could not come from the
Baldwin district because the South
Park line of the C. and S. was
snow bound.
