PLASTER MILL TO
Be BUILT AT RUEDI

uC lOllo"luS llOLl thS bCll
yer Post is not without general inter
est to the citizens of Glenwood who
have been made acquainted from time
to time through these columns with
the plans of the Roaring Fork Plaster
company:
Traffic Manager H. c. Bush of the
Colorado Midland railway has return
ed from Ruedi, station on the wes-
tern slope, where a mountain of ce
ment plaster rock has been discovered
and which will soon be utilized for
construction work in buildings and
for a fertilizer.
f. ]. Bess of Florence, while fish
| ing near Ruedi, discovered signs of
plaster cement on the surface of the
water He traced the deposit which
hoated on the stream to its source.
The mountain was drilled and was
found to contain immense quantities
of cement plaster rock.
Mr.. Bess and Dr. q. u. Cummings
of Florence returned to Denver with
Mr.. Bush and are at the Markham
hotel A company has been formed
by DR.. Cummings to develop the prop
erty. The concern is named the
Roaring Fork Plaster company.
"We have contracted for the
machinery for plant at Ruedi, and
by May or June expect to have the
factory in operation, says DR.. Cum
Il, e.,
stucco work and for first and second
coat stuff and for finish coats on walls.
The first buildings to use it in Den
yer were the new Symes and the May
buildings Plaster cement is also used
to reinforce steel columns. A wire
form is wound around the columns
and thu cement is placed on the frame.
1t is used on the mouldings and pilas
ters at the top of the columns.
The material has never been man
ufactured in Colorado as fertilizer,
and our company will take the first
step in that direction. Experts of the
United States government have report
ed that as a fertilizer the land plas-
Ter, as IL Is Is W
phosphate. nitrate. bone and other va
rieties of fertilizer. Some of the
ground plaster has been imported from
the East where it is used extensively
There is large plant in California
which does nothing but manufacture
ground plaster. The demand for this
kind of fertilizer is growing rapidly.
Mr.. Bush says that the Color ado
Midland is building spur to the site
of the proposed cement plant, which
is half mile from the main line of
the railroad. The deposit of cement
plaster rock covers an area of forty
acres and the plant will cost 800. 600.
1t will handle 200 tons of raw ma
te,ial daily.
The Interstate Cement company has
been incorporated with capital stock
of SO, 900, 900 The project will be To-
Gated in Ell Paso county with head
quarters at Colorado Springs. The
directors of the company are r. p.
Davis, S. R. Bartlett, lE B. Skinner,
D. r. McKinnie and G. Reyer.
A company to be known as the VOL
colt Portland Cement company is be-
ing formed by Glenwoo Springs resi-
dents and cement works will be es.
tablished at Wolcott, Colo There
are large deposits of cement shale in
tnat neighborhood. An analysis es-
tablished the fact that it contains 81
per cent lime. 25 per cent silica. to
10 per cent aluminium and the balance

i'm posi- Bile to raise the money neces-
sary and asking to be released from
the contract.
The company urged Mr.. King to do
the best possible toward raising the
money. intimating that if an honest
effort were made, 1t would be all
right even if there should be short
age. Then the superintendent wired
the company that there would be no
money for future entertainments. In
answer to this wire was received
last Friday evening, stating that the
'Royals' would land here Tuesday
evening prepared to give their con
cert and stating that the association
was legally and morally bound by the
contract.
Wishing to do everything possible
to prevent complete disappointment,
Mr. King and other friends of the
school made strong campaign among
our people in an effort to dispose of
sufficient tickets to pay the sixty dol
lars called tor in the contract for the
evenings entertainment. The com
mittee met with splendid success in
selling tickets and at the hour for
opening the entertainment between $40
and 800 was on hand besides consid-
cradle which had not yet been report
ed by those selling tickets.
The Young men demanded the pay
ment of the full amount before taxing
their places on the platform. Mr..
King was willing to personally make
good any deficit, but those who had
aided him in the work were quite un
willing that he should do so ard the
people we're dismissed and the money
returned to them and the contract
called OFF so far MS Glenwood is con

kedrn'S Plea for Miners

The following extract from letter
by Ex-senator Thomas Kearns of
Utah. published in a recent issue of
the Salt Lake Tribune, is we'll worth
reading in connection with the re-
newed effort now being made by the
American Mining congress to bring
about the creation of a department of
mining at the coming session of con-
gress.
Senator Kearns points out fact
which is not fully recognized, viz,
tnat the commercial prosperity of the
country is entirely dependent upon it
mineral production and that withous
con tinued increase of that product
Dtion, the business of the country must
be brought to a standstill.
The letter is in part as follows
81 wonder if those who attempt to
look into the future and who make
mental pictures contrasting the great
ness of this country ten or twenty
years to come with its greatness now
have proper conception of the i'm
portant work the mountain states
shall exert in the countrys develop
ment2
81 wonder if cur statesmen, our
publicists. and those who make and
administer the law, realize the vast
influence which mineral mining in
the United States has on the country s
comm srce. l wonder if congress and
the president have shown that deep
concern for this great industry it's
commercial Importance and influence
deserves. / wonder if the people un-
derstand how much it contributes to
their material welfaret
'If one reflects on these three
things the answer must be in the
negative. And the answer itself
should stimulate action not only in
the West, where the greater attention
to the latent forces about us should
produce swifter results than elsewhere
b ut in the entire business world.
1t is not sufficient to say that the
mining industry of the United States
10 the greatest, is the most important,
has the largest capital invested or is
. the most progressive. for while these
things are true, it may also be said
the industry Is embryotic. The coun.

In the days OF Aud Lang Syne! Z"
One of the prettiest social events of
the season was the reception given
Tuesday evening by DR.. and Mrs. w.
w. Crook to the resident Elks of
Glenwood Springs and visitors from
other lodges
As there is no ElKs lodge in Glen
wood, although numerous members of
the order, the event was planned as a
means of bringing all the Elks in
town together for a social evening,
and to this end the event proved a
success.
Over forty Elks we're present repre-
senting lodges in Aspen. Grand juno
ton Leadville and Denver. Amuse-
meut and good fellowship ran high
and the fact that the event lasted till
the morning hours proved the popular
ity Of the undertaking,
A trio consisting of Messrs. Hayes,
Pletcher and Thorson rendered several
musical selections while Austin Gavin
IN his inimitable way kept the au-
dience roaring with story and song.
E, L. Peisars playing was much
appreciated.
A guessing contest which Mrs,
Crook had arranged ior the guests,
calling for the naming of various ar
ticles in the house, was pleasing
means of diversion. In this George
NJ. Post of Denver located "a out of
a possible 90 and was awarded first
prize, beautiful Elk's picture. Ollie
Thorson had to skidoo with 90, while
James Cox was given cigar as a
boopy prize.
Near midnight Mrs. Crook served a
sumptuous luncheon and in this she
was assisted by Mrs. E. I. Taylor
Mrs. W S. Parkison. Mrs. D. l.
Fletcher and Miss Aita Crook.
Among the guests from Aspen we're
Judge Shumate, Judge Rucker. George
M. Spruill and A. F. Alexander, and
Judge Rucker made beautiful ad-
dress to the members present, point
ing out the beauties and good works
of the order and counseling all to give
greater attention to the true spirit OF
fraternity. He referred to the splen
did feeling between the Elks Of Aspen
and Glen wood and said 1t was the
hope of the Aspen members that Glen.

DISTRICT COURT
GETS BUSY
Considerable Trouble in Securing q
Jury---TwO Assault Cases Tried
---OiherS Set
THE COOLEY RAPE CASE NOW ON

4 Although district court has been in
' session all week but two cases have
been disposed of. This is partially
owing to the difficulty in securing
jurors, it being necessary in the Nal
ably case to subpoena fifty men before
a jury could be secured satisfactory to
all parties.
The first case on the criminal docket
coming to trial was that of the Peo-
Pile VS.. Charles Poole. In this case
count, assault and battery and assault
with deadly weapon with intent to
do great bodily harm.
Grant Taylor was the pr scouting
with ess and the object of the alleged
assault The trouble occurred at the
Glenwood town election last April
when Taylor attempted to interfere
with an officer of the law, his head
coming in violent contact with Poole S
heavy cane.
Poole was found guilty of the lesser
charge put sentence has not yet been
imposed.
Following the Poole case came that
of the People VS.. R. p. Malaby
charged with assault with deadly
weapon. After jury was secured
this case was hotly contested Ed. I.
Taylor defending Malaby as well as
Poole. In this case AL Coulter was
the prosecuting witness Malaby as
city marshal claims he undertook to
prevent Coulter from intimidating
voters and Coulter resisted the inter
ference. In the scuffle Malaby drew
bis gun which he used as a club
\ After being out all night the jury re-
ported that they could not agree.
This will probably end the case al
though that rests entirely with the
district attorney.
Friday morning was begun the case
of the People versus Orson W. Cooley
charged with rape, the alleged victim
being Cony Dwire, a gill less than 10
years of age. Attorneys Taylor and
Noonan are defending Cooley.
Other criminal cases set for trial
are the People VS.. Nelson; People VS..
Beals; People VS.. Plunkett; People
VS.. Duff, and People VS.. Huffman, the
last two cases being set for next Mon
day and Wednesday respectively.

try's vast mineral resources are yet
untouched. Mountains that yield no
profits or small profits today, under
the touch of modern appliances and
equipment tomorrow will pour forth
great streams of wealth. And this
wealth is national wealth. This de
velopment is national development
The product of this field of industry

Woman as Friend" Mrs. Mary
G. {. Bradford. Denver.
After luncheon business session
was held and then II musical program
followed At the business session two
new clubs were admitted and the
treasury found to be in very salts
factory condition.
Mrs. Mary c. c. Bradford spoke on
the benefits of federation. Mrs. Brad
ford has been state federation presi-
dent, national federation secretary,
editor of two magazines, and county
superintendent and is known all over
the United States as an able and elo-
quent lecturer. She is today proba-
bly, the most thoroughly educated wo-
man in the union and was one of six
delegates representing the United
States at the International Suffrage
convention held in Copenhagen last
August. The interest aroused by Mrs.
Bradford address on federation in
the afternoon was very great, her au
dience realizing more keenly than
ever before the scope and purpose of
federation work.
Mrs. Bradford has magnetic per
sonality and easily wins her audience
to her own point of view. Club life
will be the richer and more efficient
for the inspiration of her presence and
the community at large had an oppor-
tunity to come under the spell of her
logic and oratory.
The entertainment in the evening
was even more interesting than that
furnished in the afternoon. The pro-
gram which was excellent in every
particular was as follows:
Instrumental selection-Mrs. Cliff
ton.
Reading-Miss Finley.
Piano solo-Mrs. Toepfer.
Vocal duet-Misses Robinson ana
Pratt
Lecture-Mrs. Bradford.
Instrumental duet Misses Hum.
Vocal solo-Miss Pratt
Address-Father O Dwyer.
Piano solo-Mrs. Clifton.
Each number was rendered in fault
less manner and was greatly enjoyed
by an audience of about seventy five
people.
Especially pleasing was the address
of Mrs. Bradford who spoke earnestly
of the splendid work which has been
accomplished by woman and the great
fields of labor lying yet untouched at
her feet She plead for spirit of
selflessness and feeling of RESPONSE
billy and personal interest in the
welfare of the children of others,
claiming that with such spirit the
mother could best meet the demands
of her own children Mrs. Bradford s
beautiful plea for more perfect wo-
manhood and more exalted mother
hood was very much appreciated.
To Glenwood readers nothing need
be said concerning the ability of Fa-
ther O'Dwyer to entertain an audi
ence at any time and with any sub
iect. His address of Saturday eve
ming compared favorabIy with former
efforts wherein he has delighted his
auditors. While his talk was largely
extemporaenous he urged all to give
more attention to literature and he
showed in very clever way the ad
vantages of literary training as con-
tributing to ones happiness.

While the business and residence portion of tie city have been putting on new airs, the city government has not been idle. Many notable chang es and Improvements have been made among which might he mentioned the paving of Barraque street from Chest nut to Mulberry, Main street maead- amized from Sixth to Twentieth, and Fourth avenue maeadamized for sey- enteen blocks. Other important work on the streets have been carried on continuously with the result that the thoroughfares are in better condition than ever before, and greatly im- proved system of drainage exists.
 Many new buildings are being con- templated for the next few months, but the only certainties are the Sen yard building on Main street and the Knox Scull building on West Second. Both of these buildings will be of the most modern architecture, and will be valuable acquisitions to their respec- tive localities.
