John HarrlS0n was aii0Wtu
SIG on above bill to cover it in
full.
It was moved and seconded
that J. d. Estes bill be reduced
to three dollars per day, making
$33. so less than claimed.
Also moved and seconded that
w. A. Darling's bill be referred
back for an itemized statement.
Moved and carried that an
amount sufficient to pay the bill
for January beappropriated from
the general fund and that the
above bills as corrected be al
lowed.
The matter of taking off the
arc lamps outside Of Main street
to cut down the expenses was
discussed at some length. The
proposition was brought forth
that all the arcs should be kept
burning until twelve o'clock on
ly, provided the lights could be
secured at half of the present
cost. Nothing official has been
done however. The matter of
cutting down the city's ex-
penses was further discussed in
the way of reducing the salary
of Jay Barr, who is manager Of
the city water works. The pres
ent salary is 500 per month with
house furnished, as we'll as the
use Of the orchard and ground
on the city farm. It seems that
several applications for the posi-
tion have already been made.
Nothing official was done.
The matter of equalizing the
water rent was also brought be-
fore the council. Nothing has
yet been done but an effort is to
be made to fix the system in
some way to charge the users for
the exact amount that they use.
A special meeting was called
for Monday evening of this week
to come to some agreement on
these matters but the meeting
did not materialize. The busi-
ness will now probably be laid
over until the next regular meet
ing.

VIM. Jost came up from Clem
Tuesday evening to transact
business.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-06

they sat down and had a nice time.
Grandpa had killed his best chickens
and grandma had made pies, cakes
pudding and candies.
After supper they went into the par
lor and the children played games,
sang songs and pulled taffy which
grandma made. Then the company
went home and Mary, Jessie and Jack
went to bed, thinking Of the nice time
their dear grandma had given them.
Early next morning grandpa called
them for breakfast, as he told the
children he had not killed their
Thanksgiving turkey and he wanted
them to see what a nice fat gobbler
he was and help catch the pig. So
I'D they were and down for breakfast,
after which they went out with grand
pa. 1t was not hard work to catch the
gobbler, as they sprinkled little corn
on the ground and up he came and
let grandpa lassoo him. But the pigs,
Just as they thought they had one,
would slip away. At last Jack got one
by the tail and then hung onto his
back. When the pig found he could
not get rid of Jack he started running
and went through mud puddle.
Jacks face and waist were full of mud.
Still he held on, but was about ex-
hausted when grandpa came up and
got the pig in a corner and tied a rope
around his neck and at last had him
secure. Then he told the children to
go and help grandma do up the dishes.
He did not want them to watch him
kill the turkey or pig. They went in
and helped grandma. After the dishes
were done grandma was going to make
some pumpkin pies, so Mary beat up
the eggs, Jessie got the flour ready
and pulled out the pastry board. Jack
brought wood in, Then grandpa came
in with turkey and pig, all cleaned,
ready for grandma to stuff, which she
did. The pies were baking and filing
the kitchen with an appetizing SMELL
AS soon as they were done, in popped
the turkey and pig.
Then they helped get the rest of the
dinner ready, which consisted Of
mashed potatoes. celery, stewed peas,
string beans, cranberry sauce, lettuce

good things they had, but I will tell
you a few.
They had first roast turkey, then
sparerib pie, cranberry sauce, pump
kin and mince meat pies and fruit
cake.
After feasting and talking for an
hour grandpa went out, without tell
ing them what he was going to do,
and the girls helped grandma clear
away the dishes. Presently they heard
shout from grandpa and running to
the door saw that he had harnessed
the horses to the sleigh. He told them
to wrap up quick. They hustled around
and in a few moments they were snug
and warm in furs and laprobeS. They
had a fine ride and they did not get
back until dark. A big fire was then
built in the old fireplace and they
popped corn, baked apples and made
molasses candy.
At 10-o'clock grandma tucked them
in bed and kissed them good night.
Did you have good time today?"
Mary asked.
Il should say did" answered Jessie,
but l am dreadful sleepy"

So they all scrambled in, the girls in
the middle so they would not fall out.
Then they started down the hill, but
when they got to the bottom there was
buried tree stump and their sled ran
into it with such force that they were
all thrown out Picking themselves up.
Mary and Jessie declared they were
not going to ride any more In the sled,
| but Jack coaxed and they got in again
and arrived at grandpas safely.
Grandma was out in the front porch
all wrapped up in one of grandpa's old
coats with a lantern in her hand, as
| it was now quite dark. The children
ran up and she kissed them and told
them to come right into the house, as
supper was ready. They went in and

The table was set for supper, so

Thoughtful grandma had sent large
comforts for the little girls to wrap
up in. They got down in the wagon
bed and covered up snug and warm.
Andy had brought large umbrella to
put over them to keep the snow off,
which was now coming thick and fast.
When they were almost home the
horses got scared at a large covered
wagon and started to run as fast as
they could go. The snow was binding
and it was as dark as night. Andy
could not guide the runaways. They
just held the bits in their teeth and ran.
Suddenly the horses swerVed to one
side and over the bobsled went with
all its contents. right into large
snowdrift The girls, although much
frightened, were not hurt AS soon as
they brushed the snow from their eyes
so as they could see they saw grandpa
running toward them and grandma
standing in the doorway to welcome
them.
The horses had broken the traces
and were just disappearing into the
barn door Grandpa lifted-Mary into
his strong arms and Andy carried Jes-
sic into the house. Grandma kissed
them and then said "Oh, you poor
children! know you are almost frozen.
Come in and get warm"
She led them into the large room,
where stood a red-hot stove. After
the girls were good and warm they
went to supper, which consisted of
bread and warm milk, fresh honey,
homemade cookies and pumpkin pie.
They went to bed early because they
were tired out from the experiences
of the day.
The next day was Thanksgiving
An old gobbler that had been fattening
for two weeks before, was already
dressed and was waiting to be put into
the oven All morning the girls helped
grandma get ready for the great din

Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-06

Boys, did you ever live In the country,
Out on a great big farm.
With sunny fields and meadows,
And a corncrib and barn?
Did you ever have a barnyard.
With chickens. ducks and geese,
Like one big family dwelling
In happiness and peace?
With a babbling brook that ripples
Through the willows inviting shade.
Where in the sweltering weather
We take off shoes and wade?
Did you ever have a haymow, -
Filled with new-mown hay,
In which the boys play hide and seek
And romp the live-long day?
Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-06
TIE COUNTRY BOY {

Did you ever have an orchard,
The trees all bending low,
with their luscious ripening fruit,
Which in the bins we stow?
Did you ever ride on a load of hay,
Going home to lunch
Nestled together the very top,
merry, happy bunch?
Did you ever gather chestnuts
That were lying on the ground,
When October, sere and golden,
Each autumn comes around?
That's what a boy enjoys in the country
good time all day long,
Out in the air and sunshine.
Singing lifes swete song.

They all sat in a row, Jack at one
end and their mother at the other,
with the girls between them. They
went whizzing along very fast and
smooth until they came to a hill, and
here the sled tilted to one side. Out
they all tumbled on top of each other.
None of them were hurt, but falling in
the snow made them cold and they
were glad to climb back and nestle in
the farm they found fire blazing in
the crate, of grandma's big sitting
room, while around the CRATE were
piled apples and ehesnuts. Then there
was the juicy smell of~turkey, and tart
cranberry sauce, while the row of
pumpkin pies and the huge plum pud-
ding sent out little odorous warnings
that they also were in the kitchen
waiting to be devoured by the hungry
company.
1t was not long until the girls had
grandma's old-fashioned aprons tied
around them They then began set
ting the table, which they decorated
with bright autumn leaves. While in
the center of the table they placed a
large pumpkin which Jack followed
out for them. This they filled with
apples, nuts and raisins. Mamma
helped grandma in the kitchen, first
basting turkey and then MASKING po-
tatoes, while Jack went out with
grandpa to feed the horses and help
with the chores. They spent the after
noon and evening roasting chestnuts
and playing games, for grandma had
invited a few friends to enjoy it with
them. The children declared the more
the merrier. Mamma, Jack and the
girls stayed all night, but had to leave
the next day as their papa was not
home and things had to be looked after
at home The girls were unhappy
when they bid grandmf and grandpa
good by. But their hearts soon be-

In going along they ran into ditch
at the side of the road and upset, but
fortunately none was hurt The driver
must have been cross-eyed or he would
not have run into the ditch.
They got cold after they fell into the
snow, because they lost the hot rocks
that they had at their feet.
Their grandpa and grandma were
very glad to see them. They had very
nice dinner. That night they all sat
around the fireplace and roasted po-

PAINS Fireworks at tbe Mesa
COUNTY Fair.

| For the first time in the history of
Western Colorado, the people will be
given the opportunity of witnessing the
unsurpassed pyrotechnical displays and
fireworks creations of Henry j. Pain.
whose.nam in the pyrotechnical world
stands alone. The Mesa County Fair
has fortunately secured the services of
the Pain Pyrotechnic Company of New
York and Chicago, and under the
supervision of experts three grand dis
plays will be given at the-Fair Grounds
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
evenings of Fair week.
If it were not for the appearance of
this world wide pyrotechnical firm at
Denver, prior to Mesa county Fair and
Salt Lake following the celebration in
Mesa county, this feature of the pro-
gram could not be offered to the pub
lie. By forming a circuit of dates
Grand Junction is in the procession and
this year has no competition, for this
reason the Pain people were secured.

creations in fireworks that will startle
the people who witness the grand dis
plays. Then there will be the repro
duction of the historical battle between
the Monitor and Merrimac with all the
sound of canon and the final explosion
of the battleship. An arrangement has
also been made to put on Niagara Falls
which is over 100 feet in length and
twenty in height but will be so
arranged as 10 be visible only from the

LIGHT AND HEAT PLANT.
Board of Revenue Proposes To Install
 New System In Courthouse.

The Board of Revenue is figuring on the installation of an electric and steam heating plant to be used for lighting and heating the court house and county jail. Messrs. McGeever- Going and Dickey have been appointed as a committee of three to look into the proposition and their recommends tion will be for the expenditure of $l0.- 900 along this line.
 This move is being made by the board by reason of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company advising that after November they would charge on a meter rate instead of the fiat rate as they now charge
