INSINuATIONS NOT WANTED

Tho Grizzly advertisements refer
quite often to Mr.. Parkison pledges
and say:
''When man solemnly pledges
himself to do a certain thing, and
then deliberately violates that pledge
and does the other thing, what would
you call him in good, plain, everyday
western English p
This, in connection with other
references to Mr. Parkison is intended
as pretty strong intimation that Mr..
Parkison has violated his pledge to
the people. The fact is, nothing
could be further from the truth. Not
only Mr.. Parkison, but all those who
united with him in the pledge above
referred to, have absolutely kept that
pledge and still intend to keep it.
But the Kendricll crowd which dom
mates and controls the Grizzly candi r
dates never practiced what they
preach and never intend to do so.

Grizzly creek and now has petition
for an adjudication The matter
will be taken up at the convenience
of Judge Overs and the iptimation
of the Hendricks that the decision
will be favorable to the town the Post
believes is far fetched. We do not
care to anticipate Judge Overs de-
cision, but the Grizzlys have been
doing this by telling the people that
an adjudication was certain. The
people may depend upon it that if an
adjudication of Grizzly water can be
secured for the town, the Citizens
candidates will secure it. They hav g
already done twice as much in that
direction as the loud boasting Griz-
zlys.

AT THIS writing it seems almost
certain that Senator Taylor will sue
coed in passing the bill which will
give Glenwood fish hatchery and his
appropriation bill providing for
s. 600 to be expended on the State
road. A constitutional amendment
permitting voting machines is anoth-
er of Senator Taylor's bills which will
probably pass. These three are all
good bills and then it is thought the
bill to establish water district No. 70
in the Roam creek country will be-
come a law, although at this late
date there is danger that many mer-
itorious bills may be iuggled off the
calendar OF placed at the foot of the
list so they cannot possibly be reached.
At all events some good measures will
be passed and many very dangerous
bills will be killed which, but for the
gubernatorial contest, might have
been forced on the statute books

ent popularity of Col. William F.
Cody Buffalo BilD, the old gentleman
failed Ignominiously in his efforts to
thrust aside the wife who has stood
by him through years of conduct that
does Cody no credit. If the testimony
as printed is to be relied on, Cody
utterly failed to prove his claim of
cruelty against his wife while she had
no trouble in making clear that her
husbands life and conduct was far
from what it should be. Perhaps Mrs
Cody was not always as loving toward
her husband as dutiful wife should
be but when it is remembered that she
knew that her place in his affections
had been usurped by another the Won
der is that she was not even less con.
siderate. AT all events Cody made a
very poor showing before the court
and the refusal of the court to allow
him to push aside the wife of his
youthful days will meet with general
approval.

THE HOTEL COLORADO is

THE HOTEL COLORADO is as
much part of Glenwood Springs and
it might almost be said that it is as
much factor in the future develop
ment and prosperity of the town as
the hot springs themselves. Many of
us remember distinctly the first efforts
looking to the erection of this splen-
did hostelry. We have watched each
years business with increasing inter
est feeling that the success of the ho-
tel and the success which the Hot
Springs company made of its bathing
business was inseparable from the
genera, success of the town. Mana
gers have come and gone with the sea
manned through the entire experience
of the house and who as much as any
other one person has been responsible
for the success which the house has
achieved. To that mans intimate
knowledge of every detail of the bus
mess as well as his excellent business
Judgment is due the fact that the
directors appointed him this year as
manager of the institution. 1t was
hnrorSn Of lila El f,it Ia
in his business ability that the Citi-
zens' convention selected him as one
of its candidates. If you want a
town administration which will work
for the upbuilding of Glenwood S bus
mess interests, cast your vote next
Tuesday for Elmer E. Lucas for
trustee.

THE GRIZZLYS need not try

THE GRIZZLYS need not try to
conceal the fact that they are oppos-
ing the Glenwood Hot Springs com
pany which conducts the most impor-
tant business for thu whole town, the
Colorado Hotel company which con
ducts the finest and best hotel in Colo.
rado, aside from two or three in Den
yer and Colorado Springs and the
Glenwood Light and Water company
which has furnished the town with
excellent light and water service dur
ing many years when the town was
not able to supply these commodities.
We repeat the statement that, disguise
it as they may, the real object of the
Grizzlys is an attack on these compa- .
MES. 1t is certainly evident to the
most obtuse that without these compa
MES or others operating in similar
capacity Glenwood would be very
inferior country town. 1t is also
plain that what strikes at the inter
ests of one of these companies must of
necessity cripple the others. Now let
each citizen honestly ask himself the
question 'Am | building up the town
OF can l possibly build it up if CON
tinue to strike at those forces which
have so materially made the town
what it ISL" Unless you can answer
this question in the affirmative. don't

WHEN 1T comes to the question
of losing Grizzly creek, concerning
which the Grizzlys so love to prate,
it is well that the people should know
that the first efforts to legally adiudi-
cate the waters of Grizzly creek were
made by Citizens candidates that
the Kendrick crowd had the opportu-
nifty to do this but neglected it and
left it for their successors. The pres
ent board initiated the action in the
courts to protect the town in any
rights II might have to the waters of

MORE MISREPRESENTATION

The committee has apparently
taken great delight in abusing Mr..
Parkison, and its tactics in this re
spert have been as reprehensible and
its statements as untruthful as have
been the representations of the Griz-
zlys in previous campaigns. The
latest attempt to create sympathy for
their tottering canse and to further
villify Mr.. Parkison is their distorted
telephone story wherein Mr.. j. f.
Kamm, an officer in the Garfield
County Telephone company is made
to appear before the town board as a
suppliant for a franchise for his line
only to be turned down cold at the
dictation of Parkison. Such story
is not only vicious and misleading i'll
its insinuations, it is much worse
it is absolutely untrue.
In the first place Mr.. Kamm never
appeared before tho town board in
behalf of the Mutual Telephone com
pany although he promised to do so.
Mr.. Porter and c. l.. Todd appeared
for the Mutual company and We're
given the respectful consideration
-; h;,h Io. al, nrantnp1 n
everyone appearing before the present
board. They We're told that com
mittee would be appointed to investi-
gate the matter thoroughly, which
was done, and that at another meet
ing these gentlemen and other officers
of the company would be welcome to
appear and present their case.
The special committee, desiring to
transact business for the town in
business-like manner, requested of the
officers of the Mutual company some
information and facts concerning the
financial condition of the company,
amount of assets, amoInt of expenses
etc, and while this information was
promised, it was never forthcoming
1t was given out generally and the
officers of the Mutual company were so
notified tnat the report of the com
mittee would be presented and dis
cussed and action taken thereon on
June !, 1904, and yet not member
of the company was present. The
committee investigated the experience
and history of socalled mutual tele-
phone companies all over the state and
found the experience so disastrous and
the results so unsatisfactory that they
recommended that the request of the
local company be denied, which was
done by unanimous vote, Mr.. Park
son taxing no more part in the pro
lHdH lLt OlutI VI
the board. If the citizens of Glen.
wood desire to know the reason for
this action they need only refer to the
report of the committee together with
the correspondence received by the
committee flom all parts of the state.
If there are those who have honest
ly criticized the board for its action
they can find ample justification for
that action in the files of the clerk S
office. OF course, the writer of the
article has no intention of being fair
and Is only seeking some sort of film
sy excuse to villify the Citizens can
didate for mayor

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The past week has been a week of
hustle and hustle to the tobacco crop, I
think, for l have never seen week when
the crop has expanded itself more than
it has done in the last week. Many
fields that were small enough to be OBJ
served have surely doubled in size. In
some instances | think some fields have
doubled in half that time.
1t looks as though the late set would
come to the harvest period on or before
the last day of August. Some will come
the last of July or the very first of Au-
gust as in the case of 0. Belden & Sons,
who began topping July 4, and one
told your correspondent that in going
over the first time they topped more than
third of the plants, and they had to
go over it again in two or three days.
Now, by the ordinary custom as followed
by the growers, of cutting three weeks
after the topping, it must be about ready
in July to be harvested.
A good many are topping some little
earlier than their preference would die.

indicate the necessity of doing so, as in
have good many of the so-called top
leaves, which | consider are not the best
kind of goods to raise. 1t may, as some
growers maintain, be the better way to
do even if the top leaves are thrown out
at stripping time. But [ notice very few
of them are ever thrown out, SO that the
goods are full of those little short, mar
row, black leaves good for nothing but
to be used with the sand leaves in max
ing stogies. We cannot afford to raise
stogie tobacco any more than we can
afford to raise export tobacco-Of the
cigar leaf brand I mean. Those small
top leaves cannot be cured or sweated SO
as to make them into passable tobacco,
and in my opinion should never be called
tobacco or sold for tobacco. You can
never eradicate that strong, nasty taste
or smell. No; think it better to go
about two leaves lower than what is left
by the process of budding, as the tobac-
CO does not show we'll in the bundle with
those left in.
Our correspondents report as follows
Hatfield Mass: Tobacco is making
rapid growth. A large portion has been
topped over the first time and is about
ready for the last budding. The stand
is not so even as in some years, but the
outlook is good for heavy crop. The
acreage of seed leaf is about the same as
last year. A few new sheds are being
built" East Whately, Mass: Tobacco
is looking we'll and growing very fast
and the chance for good crop this year
is very good. Some topping is being
DONE" West Hartford, CT: Tobacco is
jumping, as we have had fine weather
for tobacco ever since it was set. There
is very little raised here now to what
there vas few years ago."-Cultivator.

Co. purchased 150cs of 1901 and 1908
goods; j. w. Breneman sold 47cs of 1900
and 1903 goods, and bought 102cs of 1904
and 100cs of 1900; B. f. Good sold 155cs
of 1904 and bought 119cs of 1904; w. r.
Cooper & Co. sold 124cs of 1901 and 1908

and A. 81. Hershey sold 70Ocs 1904. In
all, 1,S75cs. In the corresponding week
of last year the sales were nominal only.
The past week has been an ideal one
for the growing tobacco, plenty of rain,
sunshine and warmth by day and warm
nights. The results are seen in the
rapid development. of the plants, which
has enabled some topping to be done. Il
will soon become general. There is some
fear of having too much rain, but, as the
earth dries quickly with this heat, there
appears to be no present need for anx-
iety. Even the pests, cut-worms and
heas, are not greatly in evidence.

l'he Bankruptcy Law.

The tobacco trade is under obligations
to the National Association of Credit
Men for having printed and distributed
the remarkably able address of VIM. A.
Pendergast, of this city, on "An Endur-
ing National Bankruptcy System the In
herent Ally of Commerce and Credit"
1t is more than an argument; it is dem
onstration of the truth of the title. In
addition to this, it points out the places
where improvement can be made in the
existing law, and, above all, it calls at
tention to the danger of it's repeal
through the efforts of claim law, ers. COL
lection agencies and dishonest insolvents
of the country
The address should be entered on the
records of the many tobacco associations
of the United States. In no industry is
credit of greater importance or an eff
cient bankruptcy system more needful.
It is the duty of the trade to support the
credit men in their endeavor to improve
the present law, and to join forces with
them in fighting any and every attempt
to emasculate or repeal the statute.
