THE GOLD sEEKERs ADVENTURE

Tt was in the year 1919 that the hero Of

The gold fever spread until 1t had warmed
the hearts and aroused the ambitions of
people of every rank and station. John

excellent reputation for honesty. Indus

fidence and esteem of every one who knew
him. He was the owner of a small farm,

CHRISTMAS. DAY

IT is but a few days before Christmas day,
And the children are around the fire at
play:
PLAYING hide and seek. running and swing

And the room rings with merry singing.
Now to grandpa they call,
And ask him to tell some story to them all;
He told them of when Christ was born,
Of that beautiful Christmas morn.
That Christ was born in a rude manger,
And on the account of Herod was In
danger;
Rnt God protected him with his mighty
hand
From Herod's great and evil band.
Then the old clock struck nfne.,
And eranpa said, sit is your bedtime:
Go to bed and dream of that Christmas
day
Which was Christ's first birth day."

CITY COUNCIL NOTES

That honorable body of men, the city
council OF Grand Junction met at the
city hall last night by special request of
Alderman Covey, Smith and Mckinney.
After the regular preliminary resolution
was introduced by Alderman Ramey and
seconded by Alderman Broemssr to the
effect that Reuben E. Starr, and A. g.
Mckinney formerly mem bers OF the city
counsil had been convicted OF bribery by
the district court OF this county, and
such conviction by the terms Of the con-
stitution of this state renders them in
capable OF holding office and their va
cancies Henry Kippe and c. P. McCary
we're elected but owing to lack of
quorum some doubt existed as to their
election being legal. Bat as the former
action of the city cuuncil declaring the
Offices Of Starr and Mckinney vacant,
that the election Of Kippe and McCary
be ratified and confirmed and the said
parties be duly elestsd to said offices.
The city attorney and the mayor ruled
that the resolution could not come up
under that head as the special call was
for the purpose OF paying semi-annual
interest coupons on the water bonds and
to receive the monthly estimate of the
engineer on the construction of the wa
ter works and also the corresponding es-
innate OF the city engineer. After
heated discussion the following alder
mon left the meeting; Dickerson, Whar-
ton, Broemser and Ramey.
The city clerk was ordered to draw a
warrant for 1927, ,06S in favor Of the Ged

A resolution was passed authorizing
the city treasurer to transfer all interest
earned by the $65,oOO sale Of water
bonds to the credit of the special fund
interest on water bonds. Previous to
