Hensley Supply company chain of
stores, has resigned and will be sue
ceeded by j. b. Bowen, recently man
ager for the Colorado Supply company

stores and the business done is enor-
nous. When j. c. Osgood succeeded

Victor Fuel company, as head of this
big chain of mines there were several
changes made in the management of
the different departments and the
resignation of Hensley is understood
to be one of the important changes.
The HensIey Supply company's stores
are second only to the Colorado Supply
company.
Mr.. Bowen is quite we'll known in

Regulars Beat the SIuqqerS

There was an interesting ball game
at the park Sunday afternoon between
the Regulars and Sluggers. 1t was
the first time this year that the Regu-
lars have made their appearance on
the diamond and Notwithstanding
lack of practice acquired themselves
creditably and from all indications
Glenwood will have a very strong
team in the field this summer. All
that is needed to round out the team
is first class pitcher. We have one
good man but it is hardly probable
tnat he will be able to officiate in the
box at all the games this summer,
besides he is not immune from injury,
and in such cases Glenwood would be
''up against it" without relief
pitcher.
In Sundays game Hansford and
Ewing did battery duty for the Regu-
lars. while Evertt and Smith worked
for the Sluggers.
The Sluggers could do little with
Hansford's delivery while the Regu
lars batted Evers at will, the score
standing II to 3 in favor of the regular
team at the end of the eighth inning.
The same teams will play again to-
morrow and several new men will be
tried out by the Regular. A good
crowd should turn out and boost the
boys along as much as possible for a
good ball team is great advertise
ment for a town as well as affording
lovers of the game lots of amusement

To KremmIing by Nay Is

By May Is next the Moffat road
will have been extended to Kremm-
ling, which is approximately 90 miles
west of Hot Sulphur Springs, In spite
of the cold weather and deep snow,
rendering railroad work extremely
difficult, steady progress is being
made.
d. II. Moifat said this morning that
1, 700 men are constantly at work, but
more are needed.

have agents out all over the country, I"
said he, endeavoring to enlist the
services of laborers, but their efforts
have only been partially successful.
The men cannot be secured. l do not
know whether this is due to prosperity
so much as it is to desire on the
men part to work as little as they
can and spend what they have. -

What's In a Name

A year or so ago the people in the
little village of Parachute became
tired of their name on the time table
and maps and petitioned to the post
office department to have the same
changed to "Grand Valley. 1t was
granted and the railway officials also
made the change. This was done
without due consideration and has led
to many errors which have been very
inconvenient to parties in this city.
The Grand Valley National Bank vas
in existence long before the town of
Grand Valley was named and the
name of the bauk was sanctioned by
the United States Treasury depart
ment. A very valuable telegram was
taken off at the town not long ago
and delayed day or two before it
arrived at it's proper destination in
this city, likewise letter from the
United States Treasury department
was thrown into the little postoflice up
the creek and delayed several days.
Other matters have come up to make
it annoying to the people who live in
what has been known for twenty five
years as the "Grand Valley" Steps
have been taken to bring this matter
to the attention of the department and
the Chamber of Commerce has passed
resolutions along this line aud the

sake he remained as cool as possible
and told them not to be alarmed and
remain in bed.
He hurridly dressed and started for
his store but not until he had gotten
well out into the street did he fully
ton. All around him lay the ruins
of mammoth structures and the bodies
of dead and wounded and people run
ming wildly about crying for assist
ance.
Mr.. st. CLAIR says he walked on
down the street and saw the fires
breaking out and the big fire engines
powerless to stay the flames owing to
mains, so he Immediately returned to
his home and sent his family across to
Oakland from whence they came to
Glenwood, Mr.. st. Clair remaining
behind to look after his property
what there was left of it.
The two statements which Mr.. st.
Clair made that do not coincide with
the reports OF the press, are, that he
will take oath that the list of dead
numbers far above 900, and that he
does not believe that San Francisco
will ever arise out of the ashes to a
Greater San Francisco or that it can
ever regain its commercial prestige.
He says he remained there long enough
after the earthquake to fully study the
situation and believes he is very near
ly correct in his opinions.
The constant shocks that have been
visiting the city every day since the
big tremblor- shocks that are not felt
even in Oakland-he believes will seal
the doom of Frisco. He says the
people are terrified and all that can
are leaving the city,

Trouble Everywhere

Never trouble trouble until trou-
BILE troubles you is a very good rule
to practice. Trouble comes unso-
licited to everybody, and who is
there who is sane that has not his
share of trouble The simple, minded
person for whom so many have so
much pity seems as free from trouble
MS it is possible for human being to
be and yet we would not care to ex-
change places with such one. There
is no occupation or business that can
be engaged in that is free from trou-
BILE. The farmer has his trouble and
disappointments. His best horse or
COW dies, his field of grain is leveled
in a storm that comes without
moments warning, drouths or floods
come and blast his hopes for an abuu-
dant crop. Trouble is not by any
means confined alone to the farmer,
for the merchant has his trials. The
grocer bears heavy loss on account Of
perishable fruits and vegetables.
Moths infest the stock of the dry goods
merchant and ere he is aware he sus.
tains a great loss from the ravages of
these little insects. The hardware
dealer invests large sums of money in
stoves and other expensive goods that
he can not sell readily The money
loaner fears the reliability of the &c.
curity offered by the borrower and the
miser is in constant tear that be may
be visited by burglars. Trouble is on
every hand in all lines of business.

Jake will act as guide for hunting
party of which Emerson McMillin CT
New York is at the head. MIR. McMil-
lin is accompanied by his son Marion

whence they will proceed to the
Muddy country in quest of the big
game.
Marion McMillin remained at the
Hotel Colorado and will not join the
party until they strike camp in the
Muddy district. lie expects to leave
here about Monday.
Jake says Mr.. McMillin has re-
quested him to remain with them for
ABOUT six weeks but that he has al
ready promised to do some guiding in
Oregon and will have to leave for that
country in few days.
Mr.. Borah was out last week with
a hunting party near the Thomas pass
hut he says the snow was too deep for
them to make any progress. In fact
Jake says it has been many years since
he has seen the snow as de-p in that
section as it is at the present time.

frisco In Terrible Straits

Will St. Clair, brother Of Mrs.
B. T. Napier, arrived in the city Tues
day from San Francisco, and gives a
graphic description of the terrible
earthquake which devastated Frisco
couple OF weeks ago.
While most of our subscribers have
read numerous stories of the disaster
several of Mr.. st. Glars assertions
will no doubt prove interesting mas
much as they differ widely from the
concensus of opinion among newspaper
correspondents.
Mr.. st. Clair said that on the morn
ing of the earthquake he was just
making up his mind to arise, dress
and go down town when the shock
came. He Immediately realized it
was severe earthquake and was
frightened badly but for his family 4

were being made, and determined to go to the front
and give directions in person. jumping from his

columns while they poured out of the rie-pi and

suffocating. He wore a single breasted blue
blouse, with no conspicuous insignia of rank. For
a time none of the men seemed to recognize him,

himself anyone headquarters realized the force

its explosion the occasion for movement to Pene-
trate the enemy's lines at that point.

of decoyng the enemy to the north side of the James

The origin OF certain species of fishes are to be
accounted for in various ways When the Brittany
fishermen happened to catch the "lotte" they
threw them back into the water. as they were sup
posed to turn into cells In parts of England eels
supposed to be bred from dew in the months of
May and June, in other sections from the hairs of
horses or kline which drop into cartruts, or into
drinking troughs and springs, and there quicken
after rain. This latter superstition widely prev
alent in this country. The ancients supposed that
cells engendered of mud, that when tired
of living they rubbed themselves against the rocks,
and from the detritus issued breed, while
still Others believed they came from the carcasses
of animals. Soles, according to the French fisher
men, are bred from prawns. The English fishermen
think that the pike is begotten by the west wind,
while the gudgeon is believed to be generated from
the brains of horses.
Burn the teeth of fish you CATCH or your luck
will be bad next day; pins found in church make

The Hawaiian fisher
men sometimes prepare a

Z J est of supersti-

luck caused by woman.
In the Isle of Skye if a
woman crosses the water
in course of the fishing,
