and headquarters where they are to-
day. on the corner of Fourth and Ute
streets From this pretty spot across
from City park, Mr.. Rice has had
these twenty years the pleasure of see
ing his own business and his own city
grow rapidly and broadly.
Mr. Rice carries large stocks of dry.
clear and select lumber of all sizes for
regular building purposes He also
makes a specially of timber for mines
and mills and can furnish special lum
ber for these purposes on short notice.
His yards and planning mills form one
of the largest manufacturing plants OF
the kind in this section of the state,
combining as they do the manufac-
ture of the various kinds of building
material is with the handling of
lumber in all its stages. The saw
mill is located OH the Rio Grande
Southern railway aud the timber is
cut from the spruce and white pine
tracts which abound in that section.
The output of the planning mill is

short, everything necessary to bnild

buyer at The Bargain House is the
furnished apartment displays. They
have curtained off with exquisite
draperies parlor, bed chamber. din

advantage over the old method of dis

he abandoned hope of third time
nomination for himself, and does
he propose to expend all bis ener-
gies for the next year to knock

any man who ever lined up with
the honest wing of the party? Is
1t his intention to drive the patrio-
