BOARD OF TRADE
met SATURDAY

very interesting meeting of the
Board of Trade was held at the Hotel
Grand yesterday afternoon and even q
casual observer could not fail to per
ceive that much good has been accom-
plished by this body of men in adver-
tising Glenwood and Garfield County.
Their work is just getting well under
way. The results are being made
known and world of good is being
yet be done the county
Yesterdays meeting was called to
order by Major De Lau. A letter was
read from s. X. Hooper, general pas
senger agent of the Rio Grande rail
road saying that large amount of ad-
vertising matter had been sent to peo-
pie in the East whose names had been
furnished by the Glenwood Board of
Trade. Every name was that of a
prospective purchaser who had written
concerning the prices of land and the
matter sent them was descriptive of
the agricultural, industrial, horticul-
tural and other features as well as the
wonderful scenic beauty and healthful
ness of Garfield County.
Other business of minor importance
was transacted when the question OF
holding race matinecs every Saturday
afternoon at the Fair grounds was
brought up. A discussion followed re
lative to the best scheme to be pursued
in carrying out the plans, but definite
action was postponed until next Satur
day afternoon when another meeting
will be held at the same time and place
The prevailing idea seemed to be to
follow the course pursued by similar
enterprise promoters in City Park, Den
yer and other points. Trotting races
and an occasional running race or polo
game will fill in the afternoon. The
question will be talked over more fully
next Saturday and definite action tax
en-. Should the Board decide favorlbly
the initial matinee will probably tax,
place the first Saturday in August.
Go to it boys. There is no reason
ner. 1t would prove an additional at
traction for week end Wis tors and fur
nish an afternoon of keen enjoyment

legion.

"UNCLE JOE" IS HOT

If Governor Edward w. Hoch, of
Kansas, runs afoul of "Uncle Joe"
Cannon, it is altogether probable that
the Sunhower state will have to call
special election to fill the vacancy
in its chief executives chair caused
by the meeting.
Governor Hoch spent three days in
Washington last week on his way at
the head of committee of Kansas
to the League Island navy yard at
Philadelphia, where the delegation
presented silver service to the bat
tleship. Kansas. He discussed pres.
dental possibilities and gave it as his
| opinion that President Roosevelt will
be forced to accept a denomination at
the hands of the convention. He add
ed, however, that if the President
decision was irrevocable, Secretary
Taft certainly would be given the Kan.
sas delegation, and added:
"There has been considerable talk
in Kansas of Secretary Root, and
some of Vice President Fairbanks, but
Mr. Taft will have the vote of the
Kansas delegation to next years con
vention. Speaker Cannon is regarded
as too old.''
Ye Gods! This reflection on tho
sprightly and agile young speaker of
the house is the saddest thing yet
"Uncle Joe' is frisking around in po-
litical territory like a two year-old colt
in pasture lot, but with little kicking
up of heels. In fact, the quiet activity
of the speaker is causing the other CON
testants a good deal of uneasiness.
In any event, Governor Hoch's
friends should offer up prayers that
he get home without meeting "UnclA
Joe' enroute. "

THE LAST RACE
FOR CHEAP LAND

With mankind it is ever race for
more land and cheaper land, and it is
well said by an observer of the west
ward and southwestward trend that
the last dash for cheap farms is on.
1t may extend over several years, of
course, but as men 3 lives go, when
measured by the flight of time, it will
be but comparatively brief period
until all the tillable acres which are
available in this country will have
their owners and will be producing
their share of the nations crops.
This land problem grows more ser
ious every year. A large percentage of
the farms in the humid districts is
now, in price, ont of the reach of the
person of limited means, and he can
neither afford to buy such farms nor,
having purchased them, to have so
much money invested in property
which will bring only limited re-
turn.
What, then, are the farmers of the
country forced to do? They are COM
PEELED to move from their high-priced
acres and sell them to men who can af-

Eugene Field Laughed Last,

Francis Wilson tells of an encounter
of wits that took place between tse
late Eugene Field and New York
woman.
1t was at dinner, and the woman
was in evening dress, which was rather
decollete, says Lippincott S magazine.
After a skirmish between the two
relative to the respective merits of a
well-known author, it would seem that
Field came off second best.
"Oh, Mr.. Field" exclaimed the wo-
man exultantly, "you must admit that
you are fairly beaten at your own
camel"
Field bowed politely, and with a
smile promptly rejoined: "At any
rate, Miss Blang, I have one consola-
tion-you can't laugh at me in your
sleeve"

Citizens Give Battle

But the purpose of the gang was
quickly realized and cry of "Robbera
in the bank!" brought the citizens out
in force. The defenders of the town
,Ished iG.c two hardware stores and
armed with rifles and guns. They stole
out on the tops of buildings, in alleys
| aud back lots, while some few stood
boldly out in the street. In the Ma
tional bank Bob and Emmett Dalton
had compelled the bank force to hold
up its hands and had dumped $4,000
in cash into sack. Coming to the
bank window Bob engaged in battle
with the townspeople, killing one man
and wounding three others.
Meanwhile there was more serious
trouble for Graf Dalton at the Condor
bank. The bank had time lock which
frustrated the efforts of the gang to
open it. Grat swept up the cash he
found lying around, exchanging a few
forced to flee. The gang hurried to
the alley where their horses were tied,
and where they were hemmed in by the
citizens to such an extent that of the
Dalton boys only Emmett, swifter of
foot than the others, gained his horse.
Emmett rode but short distance,
when, to the astonishment of the citi-
zens, he urned back help his brother
Bob, who had been mortally wounded.
Eight Were Killed
When the smoke of battle cleared
away there were eight dead men. The
robbers had lost Bob and Graf Dalton,
Joe Evans and John Moore, and thsir
fifth man, Emmett Dalton, had been
shot until it was thought he could
not live. The citizens had lost the city
marshall bank clerk and two mer.
chants of the town. Several others
had been severely wounded. After
Emmett recovered from his wounds he
was tried and sentenced to be hanged,
which in Kansas means life sentence
in the penitentiary. He was but IS
years old when captured and has been
confined in the penitentiary nearly Is
years. He has been spoken Of ct all
