Hugh Mathews candidate for representative

Hugh L. Mathews, son of Joseph Mathews, of Oak Creek, and prominent in the United Mine Workers and other union labor activities, has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for representative for Routt and Moffat counties in a letter to Chairman Chester Homer of the Republican country central committee. The letter follows:

"My dear Mr. Homer: I wish to announce through you my candidacy for the office of representative for Moffat and Routt counties, subject to the will of the Republican legislative assembly.

"This is not an announcement of 'having been urged by my friends,' but rather one of seeking the office in order to serve and help the district, which by long residence, means so much to me.

"I believe in Northwest Colorado and if elected to the state Legislature shall do all in my power for the good of my district, as well as my state. Further, I believe in state rights and the upholding of the constitution of the state.

"With kind and personal regards, I remain, faithfully yours, Hugh L. Mathews."

Steamboat Springs High School senior sneak day

There was mystery in the air Tuesday. Every time you saw a group of seniors talking, there were curious and suspicious glances cast toward the lowly underclassmen. When Wednesday arrived, low and behold, the seniors had disappeared, much to the satisfaction of the juniors.

The seniors left Wednesday at 7 a.m. They arrived just below the seed house about an hour later. The first thing to attract attention was a large porcupine near the selected campsite, but with true hunter spirit, Ray Smith ended the poor creature's mortal days with a few well-placed arrows.
