Eastern Capitalists Will Push
Work on tha Riach
Coal Mine.
Definite plans for the development of
the immense coal deposits in North Park
have been made by eastern capitalists
and before another winter rolls around
largo quantities of the product will be
upon the market at greatly reduced
prices, says the Boomerang.
E. R. Miller of Williamsport Pa., a cap
italist who is largely interested in the L.
11. P. & I’. railway, accompanied by a
representative of a Chicago firm, manu
facturers of steam shovels and mining
machinery, Saturday evening returned
from a trip of inspection to the coal
fiields and boforo leaving for the east he
said to a Boomerang man: “We will at
once place orders for the necessary mach
inery to develop our deposits and will
have large quantities of coal on the
market by next July. Our plan is to
place an immense steam shovel in opera
tion, uncovering our largest vein. This
vein is CO feet in width aud of consider
able depth. The coal is of a good qual
ity and is now being used by residents
of the country adjacent to the mine.
We a’ro do"’ selling it tothc&o .vho co*® 5

9pto the crest of the divide and the
transportation of our product will be
■greatly facilitated. Wo expect to under
sell all competitors and give our custom
ers good coal at reasonable prices.”
Mr. Miller departed for the east Sat
urday evening. He will return in a few
months to complete the plans for install
ing the machinery necessary to the de
volopment of the mine.
Is'nt It the Truth?
Senator Henry is in town this week
and a talk with him brings out the fact
that those who took coal lands near
Walden Colo., builded better than they
thought. Work has been going on
! quito steadily in that section on the
development of some of the veins and
every day shows more clearly* the
vastueas of the dei>osits. Mr Henry
says a part of the coal seems to he of a
quality to make good coke and if this be
so the fortunes of the owners are assured.
In the east whore coal has been the
backbone of the country’s financial life
veins from 18 inches to three feet in
thickness have been looked on as very
good and have made fortunes for their
owners. But Mr. Henry speaks with
the utmost coolness of 45 feet of solid
coal in one vein au«l then says there are
thicker one© yet to he opened.
Mr. Ueury was met in Walden by Mr.
Miller of the L. H. P. P- road which was
completed into Centennial this summer,
aud received some flattering assurances
concerning the intentions of that road.
Mr. Miller states there is an abundance
of money on hand to complete the road
into Walden and the coal fields adjacent
and that this will he done as soon as
may ho. Also that his road will he glad
to run spurs to each and every property
in the field and lastly that ho will en
gage to haul coal to any point and lay
it down at such rates as will enable the
producers to compete with any other
mines.

Both the bride and groom were for

made the Park her home until the last
couple years. Mr. McCallum was at one

Pioneer Dead.
Last Thursday morning Mrs. Matilda
H. Brands, one of the earliest settlers of
Park, died of pleurisy at the home of
her sou, Charles Brands.
Mrs. Brands was born in Hope Warren
County, New Jersey, Deo. 27, 1820 and
was 80 years, 10 months and 4 days old
at the time of her death on Oct. 31st.
She was the mother of five children,
three girls aud two boys, of which only
two are living, one,Charles Brands lives
at Higlio and the other, a spinster, lives
in Now Jersey.
Mrs. Brands came to Colorado in 1872
and lived at Fort Collins until 1881 when
she came to North Park and has lived
here ever since. She was among the
first settlers in the Park and lias always
been loved and respected by all who
have knowii her.
SPICER SPIELS.
Messrs. D. A. Mclsaac aud J. A. Mur
phy, Jas. Bonis, and Charles Murphy
went to Kroimnling on Monday to get
their winter’s provision.
Brush Monroe, Dan Hausou.and Fred
Ninegar returned from Denver this week
where the}* had marketed some beef.
Mrs. Charles Fuller and Mrs. Agnes
Murphy took a trip to Ilebrou. the mid
dle of the week, to visit friends in that
localit}'. We trust that the victims had
previously laid in their winter’s supplies
for they certainly nood them.
The Butler School closed its fall term
on Tuesday, and the Spicer School will
finish on Friday of this week.
Tho financial upheaval in Wall Street
was only a local earthquake ami the
shock was uot perceptible at Spicer. But
wo have heard about the panic up here.
Tho news comes from Walden. It
seems that someone there got tne word
from tho outside, or rather, from the in
side. At any rate, there is a feeling of
uneasiness here as to the situation.
' However, it is not likely that there
| will be any run upon the North Park
Bank from this district, for it was con
! eluded that the panic would bo over be
fore any one could reach the bank from
; here. Oil taking an inventory it was
learned that no one in Spicer had any
doposits while nearly all had loans. So
it was unanimously decided not to have
a run. The Bank therefore is declared

r solvent and as strong as tho Rock of

: The local financial prophets thorough
ly discussed the situation at tho Post Of
[ fice fc|ie other day. “ Wat’s the cause '
> of this panic? "Inquired one. T can toll
you.’Another replied. ’Noteuough cur
i rency to carry on the business. Just
, what ( you get for voting against free
1 silver. I tell you things will never lie
I right' until you put Bryan in."
“No".chimed in a third, 'that’s got
nothing to do with it. Teddy just wont
hunting, that’s all. lie is killing bear
i down in the cauebrakes of Louisiana and
we depend upon him so lunch now that
the country just goes all to pieces every
time he loads aj’irearm. Tho trouble is
that it is not always bear he hunts, for
he sometimes goes a gunning for human
beasts of prey. It is tho noise of these
fellows trying to oscajK} in the cane
brakes that makes tho financial crashes
and. uproars.”
“I’ll tell you wlnit I think about this
panic”said tho grizzled cattleman of
thirty pears experience on tho open
range. “It is caused by this here forest
reserve business. I predicted when it
first came up that the country was going
to the dogs, and it certainly has.”
While 1 was in Denver last. 1 took the
time to look over that famous home
stead that so many could have located
in an eaaiy day. The Brown Palace,
The Savoy, the State Capital and a mini
ber-of other pretty decent lookiug build
ings are located on it now and it repres
ents hundreds of millions of dollnrs.
I have never yet met an old timer and
particularly a North Parker, who was
not in Denver when it was a cluster of
frame houses and who could not have
taken a homestead where the Capitol
now is, hut did not consider it worth
tlie having. If these stories he all true,
thiß must have been the most despised
piece of land in America.
Bust why everyone considered taking
it ami all decided it was not worrh the
having remains a mystery.
The act of the matter is that none of
, htk£js-K£ianuslv considered or even re |
uiotely thought of taking it up.
H. O. Brown finally located the worth- j
less claim and this is tho only reason he j
did not become a North Parker for lie
no doubt headed this way and would
have located on Willow creek and joined
those who could havo taken the home
-deadif they had wanted to. Ho sold
,»arts of the land and built a very respect
able looking lookiug homestead shack
railed the “Brown Palace.”
There are many opportunities in the
west which will bring fortunes to those
who will avail themselves. This is not
meant to encourage homestead tilings
around Walden; Spicer is the coming
town and a word to the wise should be
sufficient.
Thanksgiving.
I'resident Roosevelt has issued his Thaks
j giving proclamation through tho secret
ary of stulp, naming tho last Thursday
j in November, the tweutyeighth.
The Thanksging proclamation follows:
l Once again the season of the year has
1 come when in accordance with the cus
tom of our forefathers for generations
l past, the president appoints tho day as
the sj>ecial occasion for all our people to
i give praise and thanksgiving to God.
•During the past year wo have been
free from famine, from pestilence, from
war,we are at peace with all the rest of
mankind. Our natural resources are at
least as great as t hose of any other nation
We believe that in ability to develop©
and take advantage of these resources,
! the average man of this nation stands at
; least as high as the average man of any
other. Nowhere else in the world is
there »ueh an opportunity for a free
: people to develope to tho fullest extent
all its powers of body, of mind, and of
that which stands above both body and
mind—character.
• Much has peen given us from on
high, and much will rightly bo expected
»fus in return. Into our care the ten
i talents have been entrusted; and we are
to be pardoned neither if we squander
and waste them, nor yet if we hide them
in a napkin, for they must he fruitful in
I our hands. Ever throughout the ages,
at all times and among all peoples, pros
polity lms frought with danger, and it
I behooves us to beseech the Giver of all
things that we may not fall into love of
ease and of luxury; that wo may not I
; lose.our sense of moral responsibility;
that we may not forget our duty to God
and to our neighbor.
"A great democracy liko ours, a dom
. craoy based upon the principles of ord
erly liberty, cen be perpetuated only if
in tho heart of the ordinary citizen there
| dwells a keen sense of righteousness and
justice* Woshould earnestly pray that
this spirit of righteousness and justice
may grow ever greater in the hearts of
all of us. and that our souls may be in ,
I
dined ever more both toward the virtues
that tell for gentleness and tenderness,
for loving kindness and forbearance one
with another, and toward those no less
necessary virtues that make for manli
ness and rugged hardihood—for without
these qualities never nation nor individ
ual can rise to the level of greatness.
“Now,therefore. I, Theodore Roosevelt
president of the United States, do set
apart Thursday, tho tweutyeighth day
of November, as a day for general
thanksgiving aud prayer, and on that I
recommend that the people shall cease
from their daily work, and, in their
homes or in their churches, meet devout
ly to thank the Almighty for tho many
and great blessings they have received
in the past, and to pray that they may
he given the strength so to order their
lives as to deserve a continuation of
of these blessings in the future.
Hallowe’en
Hallowe'en has come and gone and,
by the looks, it was a genuine oldfash
ioned Hallowe’en. The first thing on the
program was tho ringing of the fire
alarm, and a general bedlam was turned
loose. Clothes lines were taken down
aud strung along on tho fences. Hay
wagons were turned over and one man
had a buggyshed built over his rubber
tired rig. A wagon with tho wheels off
was found in front of C. E. Mosman's,
and also one in front of the Walden
xderctilo building. A. JI. Law has a
new office on Main St., sharing it with
a delicatessen parlor. Tho hay baler
belonging to W. O. Mostnan is forsaleas
an automobile. There was a liberal sup
ply of tick tacks around town and in
somnia was epidemic. Tho candy store
had about fifteen beer barrels in front
of it and a person wouldn't know where
to go for his morning morning until
things got straightened out.
