urer McPhee visited that town yester
day, and this morning he reported that
there "'sure would be good bunch
from Rihe.' He personally visited
number of farmers and impressed them
with the idea that it would be greatly
to their advantage to come to Glen
wood next Saturday, November 23
don't forget the date), and promised
all of them good time. He even went
so far as to say that there would be
lscent meals and free drinks all round,
but this latter declaration from him, of
course, was taken with grain Of salt.
The Market day committee did a
wise thing in selecting the county of
ficers to advertise the day. They trav
eled among their constituents and have
succeeded in arousing enthusiasm.
County Clerk John Weir and County
Assessor White rounded up DeBeqne
and Grand Valley together yesterday,
and the ideas that one did not spring
the other did, so between them they
made athorough canvass of the terri,
tory assigned them.
Posters are bing distributed in Glen
wood today and will be in evidence in
many of the store windows and other
prominent places throughout the town.
Tho will hn1J
ings between today and next Saturday
to complete the arrangements.
With the meetings of the Farmers
club and Market day, Glenwood will
be the scene of great activities this
week. The Farmers club of Pitkin
Eagle and Garfield counties will have
its opening session tomorrow.
A large attendance is desirable in or
der that the farmers may get together
and formulate plans for their mutuul
betterment.
+ Market day is an untried experiment
in Genwood, but the committee of the
board Of trade that has been appointed
to make preliminary arrangements, has
gone about the proposition in de-
cidedly businesslike fashion, and report
excellent progress.
|: Now what is wanted is bright wealth
er lasting through until next week.
There has been very little snow in
Glenwood up to date this year-hardly
enough to mention, and the sun shines
warmly. Under its bright rays the
mists rise like clouds upon the mag
nificent hills that surround the town.
So let it be, the merchants pray, for
a cheerful day is most pleasing.
w. r., Lee, chairman of the arrange
ments committee, paid a visit to Aspen
yesterday. He made a good impression
upon the leading citizens of that town,
and many of them promised to attend
Market day and bring their friends.
The Aspen papers, says Mr.. Lee,
promised to speak favorably of Market
day, and the, some few persons who
reside in Aspen and "have it in' for
Glenwood have reached the conclusion
that after, all their feelings arise from
personal strife. Because three or four
people in Glenwood do not like three
or four people in Aspen, that is no rea
son why the two towns should be in
VOWED in their affairs.
Mr.. Lee reports that Grand Junction
and Leadville papers have promised to
spread news concerning Market day
throughout the territory they cover.
Good Words For Glenwood.
Following is what the Pueblo Chief
tain has to say regarding Glenwood's
Market day:
"Glenwood Springs has at last awak-
ened to realization that its future
lies in developing the rich farming
country surrounding the city, and with
this end in view has inaugurated .
farmers week, which will be celebrated
November 20, 81 and %, with mar
ket day November 90.
"It is proposed to make farmers
week notable in the history of the city.
Farmers and ranchers from all parts
of the surrounding country will be in
the city on those days; there will be
special sales for them in the stores;
there will be good takers to entertain
and instruct them along practical lines;
there will be an exhibit Of farm pro-
ducts of the valley, and many other
things.
+ COLORADO already has its Pie day, its
Melon day, its Strawberry day, its
spud day, and many other unique cele-
brations, but it has remained for Glen
wood Springs to institute . new day.
