EVERY CITIZEN of Glenwood no
donbt appreciates the offer of the
ranchmen near Glenwood to contrib
ute toward the repair of the road
south of town but it was made plain
last Monday evening that one man in
posing as the mouthpiece of the whole
community might work incalculable
harm. In discussing Mr.. Holmes
haphazard attempt at roadbuilding
it was shown that the plan he had
outlined for dumping lot of rock
into the mudhole south of town would
have been more harmful than other
wise. Road building. especially
where the conditions are as unfavor-
able as on the road in question,
should be done in scientific man
ner and under the supervision of a
competent engineer. 1t was shown
that the approaches to the Roaring
Fork bridge were built by private
donation and that no drainage was
provided and now the road is in a
terrible condition with several tons of
mud and Iock washed down on the
bridge. Everybody business is no
body s business and we have had al
together too much of the haphazard
road building in this county. Let's
cover less territory and do it right.

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 9, 1907.
TRYING TO SHuNT THE BLAME

The silly accusation of the Ava
lanche against the Post editor in con-
nection with the proposed normal
school for Glenwood but proves that
it is impossible for that paper to con-
fine itself either to truth or reason.
The statement that we have been
knocking on the town to the governor
thus poisoning his mind against
not believed by one person in hun
dred.
Speaking of knocking, Brother
Holmes must have experienced de-
cided change of heart since few
years ago he was fighting the local
companies and parading the SO called
exorbitant rates charged Glenwoodites
for light and water. We also re-
member distinctly how he heralded to
the world. or the small portion of it
reached by his sheet, the excessive
taxes demanded of the citizens of this
county. His home patriotism must
have developed wonderfully since
then.
The Post is not aware that Gov
ernor Buchtel is opposed to Glenwood
as the location of the normal school.
The governor has not, as the Ava
lanche intimates, honored the editor
by requesting his advice on the sub
ject and that advice has not been vol
unteered Neither orally nor by let
ter, directly or indirectly has the edi
tor discussed the matter with the gov
ernor. 1t was not necessary. Gov
ernor Buchtel has visited Glenwood
and if he has formed opinions it is to
be presumed that either he or Glen
wood is responsible for those opinions.
The Post man is perhaps more in
terested than is the Avalanche editor
in seeing normal school located at
Glenwood and has promised both Sen
ator Taylor and Representative Napier
to do anything possible to bring the
school to this place, and stands ready
to make this promise good.
We do not apologize fol- Glen.
wood 8 faults, but commend her vir-
tues and oppose those faults in order
that they may be eradicated, but do
so without publishing them to the
world.
If Governor Buchtel be oppo sed to
Glenwood on moral grounds he could
scarcely fortify his position better
than by quoting from recent local
items in the Avalanche, together with
the comments thereon by the Aspen
Times last Sunday morning. Do our
democratic friends thus early foresee
Glenwood's $ failure to land the normal
school that they are preparing to
stand from under by blaming the gov
ernor and the editor2 Come, boys,
don't play the baby act. Brace up
and take courage and if your efforts
fail. shoulder your part of the blame
like men. Hurrah for Glenwood

Drill, We Terriers. Drill! :

When now the editor would go
To distant city. to and fro,
He walks.
An. happy days, when near and far
He travelled in cushioned car
In statel
He signed his name with easy pride
And scurried O. er the countryside
At will
But now-ah, sad the truthful tale,
Thru mud and slush and roaring gale,
He walks
The folks at home looked on in awe
When forth his mileage he would
draw,
And smile,
They wished they owned paper, too.
That they might go aud see the
sights
The tiger and electric lights
Ie saw
But now they pass him with a smile;
He has to pay to ride a mile

KOKOMO 10; RICHMOND 3.

For the fourth time in thre e
J days the Quakers have had a crimp
put in their winning streak by virtue
OF very punk and disgusting playing.
Wednesday afternoon at Athletic park
after the Kokomo Wildcats had left
the yard, remnants of our former fast
and aggressive ball team were found
strewn in all directions. Kokomo
took the game by the score of 10 to
3.
Nat Fleming, with sore fin, essay
ed to twirl the game. He was greet
ed by the Kokomoites with an up
roaring welcome. In the fifth, after
the first man up had singled, max
ing Kokomo's ninth hit, the derrick
was used on Mr. Fleming and he was
chased to the club house. Fisher was
switched from third to the pitchers
box Cariin went from short to third,
Gardner was brought in from right
field to shortstop and Wiltermood was
chased out to right field. This COM
bination worked well. The four in
nings Tacks the Southpaw worked not
a hit was made off his delivery and
he moved down five batsmen, three
of them breezing in one inning.
Three hits and base on balls net
ted two runs for Kokomo in the sec
ond. The Wildcats had another mer-
ry go round in the third when a single
three Dagger, pass and couple
of errors netted three more runs.
The fourth was a Gelirious, heart
breaking affair for the bugs. The
Wildcats lit on Mr.. Fleming for three
singles. which combined with errors
by Weaver in center and Gardner In
right. netted four runs. The first Ko-
komo batsman up in the fifth singled
off Fleming who was then retired.
Only infield outs could be made after
Fisher went in in this inning but the
men Fleming allowed to get on the
bags counted.
Richmond's first run came in the
first. Ritter got life on an error by
Pitcher Biltz. He was advanced to
third on outs and counted on Carlin's
hard single. Richmond started raj

MEETING A CROCODILE.
The Animal and the Hunters Were All
Taken by Surprise.

Taken by Surprise.
While looking for a hippopotamus it
was the fortune of the author of
Uganda to Khartum'' to encounter q
crocodile under somewhat unusual CIR
cumstances. He was following a fresh
track leading through the dense under
growth from the lake inland. Two
men accompanied him, one carrying
his camera and the other his second
gun. while he shouldered his rifle.
Suddenly 1 heard a rustling noise In
front of me and realized that some
creature was approaching, but what:
1t could not be the hippo, because there
was no thunderous tread. but l had no
time to think, for the creature, what
ever it might be, was upon me in a sec
ond.
At two yards I discovered what il
was-an immense crocodile more than
twelve feet long.
1 was right in its path, and there was
no possible escape on either side. so 1
stood still with my rifle at shoulder
and waited. The crock" did not wait,
however, and in some remarkable way
it hustled me to one side, almost knock
ed me over, and underworld to make his
way to the water.
To dispute his right of way would
have been folly. l realized only hor-
rible, soft, w-igglng mass pressing
against my legs in a most sickening
way. Why he did not bite me do not
know. At first l thought he had done
so as he brushed against my leg, but 1
found it was only his horny scales that
scraped my shin. And he was more
taken by surprise than / was and for
got all about his huge jaw and the
lasting impression he might have made
upon my legs.
After he had passed I turned TO see
how the men would fare. One had got
back to the shore and SO was no longer
in view The other man with the cam
era was the funniest sight. His head
was stuck fast in the thick brambles,
and his legs were in the air, the cam
era of course in the mud beside him.
/ do not think the .'crock" could have
seen him, for he had literally taken a
header into the bush. and his legs were
far above the crocodile's jaws.

ages the sneeze really played a very
important part.
In ancient Greece the people saluted

Glanced to sneeze. AS Xenophon was
addressing the Greek army in mo-

sneeze was deemed good omen, and

Among the Hebrews when a person
sneezed the bystanders would say,

In India criminals on the rack of tor

A humorous story about sneezing is
told in that wonderful collection Of
oddities, 1.-The Arabian Nights A
schoolmaster was particular in teach
ing his pupils the value of politeness
He also told them that whenever he
sneezed they should clap their hands
and say, Long live our noble master"
One day master and pupils went out
for a stroll. The air was hot, and all
soon grew very thirsty. Great was
their joy at last to find a well. But
the bucket was at the bottom of the
well, and so the schoolmaster went
down to bring it up. The boys seized
the rope and tugged for dear life. Just

Swords Bent Double to Test Them.

Swords Bent Double to Test Them.
If you have an opportunity at any
time of examining a sword such as is
used in naval and military services
you may notice that just below the
hilt, an inch or two down the blade,
there is small disk of brass welded
into the blade. The meaning of this
brass might well escape any one not
possessed of a well developed sense of
curiosity Swords are subjected to
very severe tests before being issued,
and this brass piece indicates that one
of the tests to which the sword was
subjected was to have its point bent
right back until it touched the hilt at
the brass spot. Swords that have sue
cessfully withstood this severe test are
trustworthy Chronicle.
