LEGISLATION

The Town Board Gets Busy and
Passes Light and Water Or
diRanCeS---New Schedule
of Rates Given
STEPS TO SECURE NORMAL SCHOOL

The meeting of the town council
adjourned to last Monday night was
again adjourned to Tuesday afternoon
Monday being . holiday. When the
board covened Tuesday afternoon there
were but few spectators although the
date of the meeting was generally
understood. Among those present at
Tuesdays session were two of the
leaders of the opposition to the fran
chise but they had nothing to say
throughout the session.
In the absence of Mayor Dougan,
Trustee Parkinson as mayor pro TEN
presided. After the reading of the
minutes of the previous meeting it
was moved and seconded that the petit
ton containing l3i names presented
to the board on February 6 and pray
ing the council to take immediate
steps to settle the light and water
proposition be spread on the minutes
entire. The motion prevailed.
Trustee keck then introduced an
ordinance, found elsewhere in this
paper, renewing and extending the
water franchise of the Glenwood
Light and Water company and moved
the adoption of the ordinance. The
motion prevailed by unanimous vote.
The same action was taken on light
ordinance extending the company 5
light franchise for like term. DR.
l.. G. Clark, one of the trustees, had
been called to Rife on professional
business the previous evening and
could not get back in time to attend
the session bat was heartily in favor
of granting the franchise renewals as
was every other member of the board
present.
The ordinances found elsewhere
speak for themselves and recite very
material reductions made from former
rates Some additional concessions
on the part of the company are also
offered. The ordinances and agree
ments were executed at once, F, II. A.
Lyle accepting the contract on behalf
of the company.
The board then by resolution appro-
priated *2, 500 tc be applied to the
purchase of site for state normal
school at Glenwood on condition that

and the citizens of this and adjoining
counties should each appropriate a
like amount for such purpose. A

pointed to visit Denver in the interest
of the proposed legislation and $3.50

THE ALPACA
A New Industry for the Western
Slope of Colorado

If the hopes of the United States
Alpaca company are realized Colora
do, and especially the western slope,
will have new industry. The
headquarters of the company ale To-
Gated at Grand Junction, and Rich
ard E. Meserve is president and Rich
ard II. Sullivan is secretary treasurer.
1t is the intention of this company
to import from South America ship
ment of animals known as the alpaca,
in the hope of largely improving and
increasing Colorado's yield of wool,
The intention is not SO much to
it is to demonstrate that the alpaca
can thrive here and become source
of profit. and to establish depot
where those who wish to follow this
branch of ranching can secure the
animals.
For many years the alpaca has
supplied the best wool known to com
merce. In one year the wool grows
to length from seven to ten inches,
and if unclipped for several years,
reaches length of from twenty five
to thirty inches. The annual clip
from one animal weighs from ten to
twelve pounds The animal belongs
to the camel family, and thrives best
on the coarser grasses. Its soft, two
toad foot do 10 30, ha
and its long tongue and split lip en-
able it to obtain grass growing in
crevices between rocks. Its stomach
is very similar to that of the camel
and dromedary, and the rich, luxuriant
grasses of the lower attitudes do not
agree with it, as they cause skin
disease.
The alpaca industry today reaches
its greatest proportions in the high
lands Of southeastern Peru and MOI tn
western Bolivia, in and around the
valley of Lake Titicaca, which has
mean altitude of ~, 4ss feet above sea
level. The climatic conditions of
this locality are very similar to those
of Colorado, and there is sufficient rea-
son to believe that the alpaca will do
well here, especially as the camel fam
lily originated in the Rocky mountain
region. Scientific observation demon
strates that the remains of the camel
are found in the geological formation
of a period antedating that of any
other country in which they have
been found.
From the beginning of its manufac.
tnre the price of alpaca wool has
steadily risen until in December, 1904,
it headed the wool market in price
per pound, being quoted at 81 cents in
BOSTON, cents higher than the finest
mofair, with which it is adulterated
because Of insufficient supply.

ROOSEVELT TO
HUNT IN west
Announcement is Made Of the
Presidents Intention 10 Spend
Vacation in COlOrddO--WiI
Enjoy d Big Hunt
NAY HEADQUARTERS AT GLENWOOD

For some time it has been rumored
that President Roosevelt was arrang.
ing for a vacation which wonld doubt
less be spent in the West and that for
the vigorous recreation which our
strenuous president so much enjoys a
grand hunting trip was being plan
ned. This leads to the superstition
that the president will probably select
Glenwood Springs as his headquarters
as it is known that he was highly
pleased with his hunting experience
in the hills north of here a few years
ago.
1t is known that Johnnie Golf, the
famous White river gnide, has offered
to place himself and his splendid pack
of dogs at the disposal of the presi
dent should he plan another campaign
in the Colorad wilds. The royal re-
ception rendered the president while
in Colorado before, together with our
splendid hunting opportunities and
incompatible climate, it is believed
will induce him to select Colorado as
the scene of his vacation hunting.
| The following telegram concerning
the proposed trip has been sent ont
from the White house:
Washington, Feb. 16-Secretary
Loeb has taken up the question of a
trip by the president to Colorado in
the spring, with view to perfecting
the necessary arrangements should he
decide to make an extended hunting
trip in tina: state after concluding his
visit to Texas.
Should the tip to the West be
made it would consume probably four
or five weeks and be devoted by the
president to rest and recreation. Sec
rotary Loeb would establish head
quarters at some town where the pres
ident would leave the railroad and
there establish communication with
Washington so that the routine bus,-
ness of the White house would he
carried ON just as was done at CHINA
bar, Montana, when the president Wis
tied Yellowstone park When neces-
sary Secretary Loeb would ride horse
back to the presidents quarters to
carry any important papers requiring
his attention.
