world that no educational system is

AT Hampton institute, nearby, on
the spot where the negro was first
made ''contraband OF war" began the
real emancipation of the black race
through system of education which
transformed the labor of the hand
from stupid drudgery into an intel

children of the red man to learn the
same system and to carry to the West
scheme OF education that has been
adopted in the government industrial
schools for Indians fo1 which the
United States now approprites hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
Hampton was the first of the great
schools started by Northern philan-

where the battles Of the great war
were fought, extending from Virginia
to Texas. On the very spot where

Citizens Discuss Road Matters

At the meeting called for last Fri
day evening to discuss the condition
of the county loads and especially
that portion thereof between the south
boundary of Glenwood Springs and
the Rio jrande railroad track several
interesting thoughts were expressed
although little OF consequence was
really accomplished.
Mayor Schwarz presided and Jack
Worries was appointed to act as secre-
tary. The mayor truthfully re-
ferred to the deplorable condition of
this road and to the fact that al
though road district No. 1 contributed
nearly one-third of the entire road
taxes of the county but about one
thirteenth of the road fund is expend
cd on the roads in this section. He
thought this was not square deal
and after calling attention to the de-
plorable condition of the particular
piece of road in question, called for
an expression of opinion from those
present on the subject
H. j. Holmes explained his Interest
in the matter and told how he had
brought the matter to the attention of
a number OF ranchmen in the Four
Mile and Roaring Fork sections and
how these sturdy fellows. always
ready to do their share in every good
work, had volunteered to furnish men
and teams for hauling the rock to put
this road in good condition if the city
would board the men and teams and
furnish men to break the rock
The mayor said he would subscri be
$40 toward the expense, and then he
called for other subscriptions Mr.
kamm thought the people of Glen
wood had been imposed upon long
enough and said it had been clearly
shown that we had not been given a
square deal in the distribution of the
road fund. He was in favor of ex.
planning our needs in a very positive
way to the county commissioners and
asking them to fix this road n good
shape.
K. G. Voorhees,, Ed Starr, W. R.
Lee, G. NJ. Keck, E. E. Drach, Theo.
Rosenberg and others followed in
much the same strain, all feeling that
the present almost impossible condi-
tion Of this road should be remedied
at once and that at the expense of the
county.
The value of rock ballast, cindels
and other material for road building
was discussed at some length.

Last Sunday morning the many
friends of Mrs. June Johnston and
two children were surprised to see
them alight from the train in Eagle.
Cor two and half years Mrs. Johns
ton has been in Long Beach, Califor
mia, engaged in the rooming business
but has returned with view to To-
eating somewhere in Colorado. AT
ter all. no place beats Colorado.
Mrs Johnston is daughter of T. A.
Howes of Eagle and had lived here
about four years prior to leaving for
California.
This community was thrown into 3
fever of surprise over the sudden and
sad death of Mrs Fred Cowden Satur-
day night. Just two weeks previous
she had given birth to baby girl and
all had been so we'll with mother and
babe. Saturday she completed good
sized washing and so far as known
felt no worse for the work. For many
years she had been subject to epileptic
spasms and it is supposed from facts
gathered flom her children that about
S o clock in the evening the spasm
took hold of her that never released
her to wake to her mother duties in
this world Her little children were
suffering with the measles and with
the exception of them she was alone
when death claimed her. The hus-
band returning from down town to-
ward morning found her cold in
death AS she died so suddenly and
having several symptoms that life
might possibly not be extinct several
of Eagles big hearted women. always
ready in time of distress and need,
worked faithfully with the body to
wake the life should there be any
there. but all to no avail. The spirit
had wended its way back to the God
who gave it. Mrs. Cowden was born
in Kansas and was 81 years old when
she died. She left four little chill
dren. The eldest girl, Marguerite,
past six, George Cowden of Denver
will take home with him; the little
son John, about four years old, Mrs
Cowden. the grandmother, will take
Mrs. Smith will take Lucille, about
two years old, home with her to Pu-
eblo and Mrs. Leonard Schumm, the
other sister of Mr.. Cowden, will take
the little two weeks old babe. The
children will be well cared for as in
each case those relatives taking them
are we'll fixed and able to give them
good homes and good advantages. At
. o clock Monday afternoon the inter
ment of Mrs. Cowden was made in
the Eagle cemetery.
