The graduating class of 1917
I. S. II. 8. will go on record as a
class that “did things”. Among
other noteworthy gifts it made w'as
that of fifteen dollars to the public
library for a set of O. Henry’s
works. By such a gift the mem
bers of the class have shown in a
splendid way their appreciation of
what Mrs. Robins and the library
has tried to do toward aiding them
in their school work. It will keep
future classes guessing to keep up
this precedent established by 1917.

thousands of people who have
come and gone thru Idaho Springs
for the past 56 years. His large
nature of mind and spirit was
very naturally attracted by these
mountains and they irresistibly
drew him. He lived an honest and
straightforward life openly and
frankly without pallaver or cant.
He faced death in the same manner.
He loved his fellowman, and thru
out his 87 years upon this earth
he constantly manifested that love
He was not only attracted by the
grander aspects of this mountain
community, but he loved it in
detail—the birds of the morning,
the trees that decked the moun
tains and the flowers that dec
orated the brookside.
His will, if read to his fellow
citizens in this community, might
easily be imagined to be some
thing like this:
“I, R B. Griswold, being of sound
mind and memory, do make this my
last will and testament.
First. I consign to the depths of
the mountains my mortal remains,
there to rest with the countless
generations of men.
Second. I give and bequeath to
my beloved Idaho Springs, the bride
of my young manhood, the comfort
of my old age, the fond memories of
my life with her.
Third. I give and bequeath to the
citizenship of Idaho Springs the
spirit of kindliness and good fellow
ship which, throughout the long
years of my life, I have endeavored
to manifest toward my fellowman.
Fourth. I give and bequeath to
the children of Idaho Springs and
the generations thereof that may
follow, share and share alike, the
Bong of the birds, the wild flowers
that deck the mountainaide and the
music of the mountain streams.”,

Is There Only One
Female Dog In Town?
Who said there were at least
300 dogs in Idado Springs? Ac
cording to the license returns for
May there are but fourteen male
dogs and only one female. The
city marshal collected S4O dog
license money—the male dogs
bringing $2.50 each and the lone
female dog a $5 bill
While there has been no regular
registration day set for the en
umeration of dogs, the marshal is
said to have prepared a census of
his own and notices have been
sent the owners with a warning to
the effect that if the license is not
paid forthwith there will be some
dog funerals in Idaho Springs.
