AN INCREASE !.
IN ANNUAL INCOME
OF CITY
Promised by Solicitor
Day
Interpretation Of Statute
Holds Good, SO, 200
Annually Will be
Gained.

Will City Solicitor Days interpreta-
tion of section 1880 of the revised
statutes hold good? The solicitor says
Il will and that thereby the income OF
the city of Canton will be increased
by about $4,000 annually. 1ms sum is
paid by the city into the state and
county road through tax levy OF
two-tenths Of q min on tax dup
licate of $l6.OO0.O0O
In a recent communication to the
council the solicitor stated that pro-
vision is made that all road taxes
paid to or collected by the county
treasurer shall be paid by him to the
treasurer of the township or munich
pal corporation in which they were
collected and used for the improve
ment of the roads in such township
or municipality.
Since this law went into effect
there have been two tax paying per-
iods, June and December, 1906. The
next period is the present month Of
June. Solicitor Day recommended
that when settlement was made in
August OF this year the city treasurer
should be Instructed TO demand pay
ment from the county treasurer Of the
city's share Of the road tax collected
in June and December Of 1906. as
we'll as those TO be collected this
June. 1t is estimated that the citys
share would amount TO about Si7O0.
The council accepted the recommen-
dation OF the solicitor and ordered his
communication turned over to the
city treasurer. Treasurer biuwell says
he will ask County Treasurer Knob
loch to turn over the money at the
next semi-annual tax settlement in
August. II there is no hitch TO the
matter the street department fund
will be increased by the amount turn
ed over and this money must be used
for the improvement Of the roads and
bridges OF the city.
Superintendent Harbert said that
the addition OF $4,000 to the funds of
the street department would be quite
a lift. The money would pay for
the street flushing for the year and
perhaps for the sweeping of the
streets also. A less sum was expend-

BOGUS nARoNETs.

Ambitious young. women on this
side of tie world will nave anxr
GUS interest in the disclosure made
by special committee OF the Brit
ish Parliament investigating the mat
ter, that Burke's Peerage is untrpst-
worthy. OF the 1861 baronets set
down in that directory, 60 are con-
demned as interlopers; they have
no right to the title. The parliament
tary committee recommends revision
and expurgation. With 1000 real bar
onets left, there are perhaps enough
to go around; but the possibility OF
taking one of the bogus 60 for the
genuine will give our Newport aristo'
crncv cold shivers.

Prof. Won Hanseman, OF Germany,
has concluded, after examining the

are hydrocephalous. Yet with fin-

there is apt to be water in the stock

CLOSING WEEK OF
GLENWOOD SCHOOLS
Prof. LeRoSSigaOI Addresses Grddu-
dteS in Place of BuChteI

This is graduation week and the
event has been looked forward to with
great expectations by those most in
terested-and who is not interested in
these young people who at the close
of certain race look out upon broad
er fields and in eager anticipation of
greater responsibilities and larger op-
portunities.
The initial event in the week pro.
gram was the junior luncheon and re-
ceptiou given last Friday evening by
Harold Parkison at the home of his
parents on Bennett avenue. This was
a delightful function and was greatly
enjoyed by the juniors and their
guests, the seniors.
Glass day exercises Thursday eve
ming at the Methodist church were in
teresting and highly creditable to
those who participated and showed a
preparation which is so often lacking
in such events.
All were looking forward with
especial interest in the regular com
mencement exercises at the opera
house, the date being fixed for last
night-just a week before the close of
school-because 1t was thought posi-
BILE to have the governor, DR.. Henry
A. Buchtel, chancellor of the Univer-
sity of Denver, deliver the address to
the graduates.
All were proud in the thought of
being honored by an address by one of
the foremost educators of the state but
with the educator and the governor
combined in one the thought was
especially gratifying.
But at the last moment the govern
or, because of circumstances beyond
his control, was compelled to disap-
point his Glenwood friends, it being
impossible for him to leave Denver
However, the disappointment was
not complete for the governor sent in
his stead Professor james E. LeRos
signol, a member of the university
faculty and brother of DR.. W. J. Le-
Rossignol of Rife.
AS this is written prior to the de-
livery of the address no comments
can be made bnt DR.. LeRossignol is a
scholarly gentleman and it is safe to
say that he will not disappoint his
hearers.
Two more events are yet to come
the baccalaureate sermon to be de-
livered at the opera house tomorrow
morning by Rev. B. l.. Rice and the
faculty banquet to the seniors to be
given next Monday.
The graduates are: Gladys Gene
We've Barlow. Minnie Pauline Dy
menberg. Hannie Louise Lacy, Mabel
Scott Iierney, Arta Belle Crook, Law
renee Barrett Clark, Chester Leroy
Fuller and Harold Thayer Hubbard.

Delays Are Dangerous

Tuesday afternoon the workmen
employed in one of the headings being
driven by the Central Colorado Power
company at Shoshone were slow in
leaving the tunnel after lighting the
fuse for heavy shot, and for their
lack of haste they paid dearly, They
claim as an excuse that they were
trying a new brand of fuse and that it
burned more quickly than that which
they had formerly used.
However, it is more than likely
they are victims of growing care
lessness on their part, for instead of
getting out of the way as soon as the
fuse was lighted, which it seems they
should have done. they stopped to take
out some electric lights. and in conse
queuce, their own lights were almost
extinguished.

GIenwOOd Woman Gets Fine Ranch

Miss Rose Mcdonald is now in
Glenwood after having proved up on
her ranch IN the Uintah reservation
and now feels happy in the thought of
owning her own home. Miss Melon
aid passed through the crisis of
pioneering new country and al
though it was inconvenient and a
great hardship to her she pe1severed
to the end and now rejoices in the
reward of one of the finest tracts of
land in the reservation. She is To-
Gated two miles east of Roosevelt,
four miles north of Independence and
six miles from Fort Duchesne.
The soil is rich sandy loan and
admirably adapted to the growth of
fruit and sugar beets. The altitude

the climate very pleasant and Miss
Mcdonald. who is the only woman
homesteader from Glenwood who
weathered the hardship of the new
country says it is really the land oil

she made the effort.

for the body at that time, it was not
found and as there have been no re.

is generally conceded that this is the

was returning home from New Castle,
when crossing the Grand river bridge,
saw the body of man floating down

PRICE FIVE CENTS

Three of the men, Walter Warner,
Antoine Oleson and s. Ivanoft, were
struck by flying rock from the shot
and badly injured. The shift boss,
who was behind these men and 30 feet
nearer the blast, was uninjured aside
from slight nervous shock from the
conclusion.
The injured men were brought to
the Glenwood sanitarium where it
was found that Warmers ankle is dis
located and his hip badly bruised,
Oleson has leg broken. while the
flying rocks tore deep hole in Ivan
offs back and this is probably the
worst injury of all. The men are
under the care of DIR. Crook and un-
less some unexpected complications
arise they will all recover.

Alice Penny, nine years of age.
When the child was quite young
Penny was divorced from his wife,
the decree being silent as TO the dis
posal of the child which the mother
kept and has supported ever since. In
the meantime both Penny and his
former wife have remarked, the lat
ter being now Mrs. Alexander Shaw
of Raven.
In his application Cor the child
Penny set ont that he could give the
child better educational advantages
than could the mother. This the
mother denied, and proved that dur
ing the past three years Alice has
been out of school but about three
II ouths 1t was also claimed by Mrs.
Shaw and admitted by Penny, that he
has never contributed to the child's
support except in the way of clothing

mother to continue in the custody of
the child.

that which WAS soleru1ized at the
home of Mr. and Mrs Ernest A.

The Romance DeepeRS

Nathaniel H. Hubbard, the Chicago
attorney who has recently been so
prominently mentioned in connection
with Miss Alice Cooper, the Colorado
sculptress, Wednesday purchased of
E. Perham 2S lots in the town of
Cooperton. generally known as Satank
10 miles above Glenwood This little
town was founded by Miss Cooper's
father, Isaac Cooper, who also was
one of the original owners of the town
of Glen wood Springs. AT the edge of
the little village is the old Cooper
homestead where the sculptress spent
her gir.hood days and where she and
her friend (some say husband) Mr..
Hubbard, are now living quietly.
When asked if he expected to live
on the property he bought, Mr.. Hub
bard answered rather reservedly,
part of the time The cousidera-
ton was $1,000 cash. After the deed
to the property had been drawn by
Glenwood lawyer and properly exc
cuted, Mr.. Hubbard, with the original
deed before him, drew another deed
in which he was the grantor, he
called in a justice of the peace and in
the presence of that officer signed and
acknowledged the deed ne had writ
ten. 1t is presumed that he decided
the property to Miss Cooper, although
this is not definitely known as neither
instrument has yet been placed Of

A large number were also used in

and Connecticut.
Rochester, N. Y, has used rs ma
cnines for eight years, and Buffalo ia
machines for seven years. Numerous
other cities in New York have used
them from five to nine years
Void and defective ballots are
eliminated by the use of these
machines, and only intentional omis-
sions to vote occur. No votes are lost
through errors such as occur in the
marking of paper ballots.
Saving is effected by the use of
these machines by permitting a larger
number of voters in precincts in which
they are used, experience having
shown that 800 to 800 voters may vote
in a single precinct, with one ma
chine, without Inconvenience, nence
the number of precincts can be greatly
reduced.
Fewer election officials are required
and clerks of election are unneces,
sary. When the voting is finished,
the counting is finished, and the cos.
of counting ballots is entirely saved
The yearly expense Of repairing and
renewing wooden booths, ballot boxes,
guard rails, etc, is saved.
The above does not include the
saving of expensive election contests,
recOunts, etc.
1t has never cost any city or town
anything for repairs, the machines
being so constructed as to be prac-
tically indestructible, so far as their
lawful use IN election is concerned.
The agent of this machine states
that proposal will be made to the
Garfield county commissioners to sup
ply the county with these machines
in terms which will permit of their
being paid for largely out of the saw
ings which they will effect in the
cost of elections.
