boast Of having store Of which any

proud, Edwards & Nichols Is the style
the firm who own and operate this con-
cern, but 1t is chiefly through the efforts
and able management of H. @. Nichols,
son Of the senior member Of the com.
pany, that this institution has made such
rapid growth, until 1t is now recognized,
not only in Ford county, but throughout
southwestern Kansas, as one on the most
reliable, responsible and up-to.date
stores In the state. When the fact Is con.
sdered that the inhabitants of the town
number less than five hundred, It be-
speaks more emphatically the unbounded
faith these people have In the future Of
our county, and to this class of citizens
more than anything else, can be at
trlbuted the uplifting and advancement
of a community. Their store, when CON-
pleted April LIST, will be 100 feet square,

balcony extends along one side for the
display Of a portion of their line Of furni-
ture, and every available foot Of space In
the building Is utilized to best advantage
and is very tastily and conveniently ar
ranged. The office is elevated to a level
with the balcony, where the cashier
makes change from cash carriers which

Hence afforded In city, and the people
VI Ford county, especially those living
Il the immediate vicinity, can well be
'roud of having such an institution.

hons to the Glenwood Hot Springs
company. OF course no citizen pro-
poses to see his individuality all
bottled up because any company has
been good to Ii town. But then there
are many reasons why the citizenship
of that town should move slowly in
granting franchise to another com
pany when the present company seems
desirous to do all in its power to nelp
along that most magnificent resort.
Our consideration of the matter arises
from the fact that we love Glenwood
Springs as western Colorado's logical
and natural playground, and we do
not like to see things in turmoil or
citizens becoming embittered against
each other in that delightful recrea-
tion spot. From this distance things
have seemed to Us as they have and as
we have expressed ourselves We may
be wrong-we frequently are-but we
hope that there will not be division
of sentiment in that town as to the
good that can be accomplished by
working in harmony. Grand juno

Council Tables Water Petition

At the regular adjourned meeting
OF the town council last Monday eve
ming but little business was transacted
save the allowance of a small grist of
bills Some of the trustees We're un-
able by reason of illness to be present
while others confessed to an attack of
the prevailing malady which rendered
a prolonged session anything but de-
sirahle
As soon as there was lull in the
proceedings j. l.. Noonan arose, made
his little bow and said he had "some
thing to offer and then he presented
a typewriter request that the council
submit to the voters at the spring
election the proposition which the ten
citizens of Glenwood had presented to
the council prior to the special cleo
tion 1t had evidently been the in
tention to have the petition signed by
the original ten but as it is well
known that some of the ten philan-
thropists have grown wise since the
SPECIAL election the petition was only
signed by Frank Walter, who pre-
sumably was the only one who was
willing to be put forward to pull the
chestnuts out of the fire. Thomas
Kendrick and Barney Napier We're
present at the meeting but neither
volunteered his services or his sig
but under the name of Walter, Mr..
Noonan had written let al which
like charity is supposed to cover a
multitude of sins, and beneath this
was written by John l.. Noonan,
attorney.
Trustee Keck said he opposed the
request on the same ground that he
opposed the original proposition, and
as the petitioners did not choose to
present a legal proposition and one on
which the board could legally or con
sstently act, he moved to lay the
proposition on the table. Trustee
Parkison expressed the same views
and then vote was taken and carried
unanimously. Napier and Kendrick
then tiptoed out without saying a
word but Noonan remained for the
benediction which was soon forthcom
