DEATH OF MRS. uLLeRY.

Mrs. Beatrice Ullery was suddenly
| transferred from her home in Aryada
to the Heavenly home on the morning
of June "a, 1908.
Mrs. Ullery was born in Montgom
cry county, Ohio, February Ia, 1875,
where she graduated from the public
school, after which she attended the
Academy of Music at Fostoria, Ohio.
and became a teacher of music until
January 22, 1887 when she was mar
ried to H. A. Ullery, who survives
her. Two children have been born to
them, son and daughter, both of
whom died in infancy.
In the year 1900 they came to Colo
RADIO for the benefit of Mrs. Ullery's
health and located in Durango. Seven
years ago they came to Arvada and
soon after bought out Doctor Hal
leck's drug business, which has been
successfully managed ever since
Mrs. Ullery united with the United
Brethren church in the year 1884, and
remained a member up to the time of
her Although of a retiring
disposition, Mrs. Ullery made a host
| of friends in Arvada, and the large
attendance at the funeral and the
floral offerings went to show the love
OF her neighbors. Her life among us
was truly beautiful and her memory
will be highly cherished. Her death
| was sudden. Eating breakfast as u.s.
ual, she left the table, and was missed,
and in little while Mr.. Ullery found
her in a sitting posture, but her spirit
had fled.
After all, is it not just as well-aye.
is it,not better to cease to work and
cease to live than linger along for
weary days or weeks in suffering. and
then finally die?
Mrs. Pumphrey, her mother, has
been visiting with her for two months
and intended to make it her home.
The funeral service was conducted
by the Rev. r. Sanderson, pastor of
the M. E. church, assisted by the
Rev. E. G. Judd of the Baptist
church, and on the evening of the 25th

very pretty wedding took place at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Ire
zise at Alma Villa, two miles east of
Golden, on Tuesday, June Both at p.
m. 1t was the marriage of their charm
ing daughter, Miss Ethel May, to Will
lam o. Williams. There was a very
large gathering of invited guests, SO
that the spacious home was filled to
the uttermost, and everybody was
happy:
The ceremony was performed by
Rev J.oF. White Of Arvada, who used
the beautiful ritual service of the
Methodist Episcopal church.
Little Miss Jennie Trezise was the
ring bearer, and at the proper time in
the ceremony presented the ring
(which lay in the center of a beauti-
full basket of flowers) to the groom,
who placed it on the third finger of the
brides left hand, repeating the words
With this ring | thee we'd" ETC., etc.
After congratulations sumptuous
wedding supper was spread and it was
nearly eleven o'clock before all were
served.
1t is needless to say that the pres
ents were numerous, handsome and
many of them costly. The young peo.
pie will spend the first part of their
honeymoon in Colorado Springs and
will be at home in Golden to their
many friends after July 10th. The

neighbors and friends and hopes
their honeymoon will last forever

Gardeners who have cherries this
year are fortunate. The early Rich
mond cherry crop is now being picked
and marketed at good prices. The
strawberry crop is small, consequently
the prices are large. One man took in
ten crates last Saturday and got $425
per crate. The raspberry crop will be
good in spots. which will also mean
good prices. The same is true of the
hay crop. We understand it is selling
now at $1,000 per ton, and some Of
the farmers are going to get almost
average crops.

THE COST OF BUILDING.

Editorial Chicago Evening Post. June ~
Cost consumption intimately related in every
line of industry When meat prices high the public eats
less when clothing is dear old suits made to do

there is in these lines fixed minimum of consumption
which forms stable foundation for the trade In the
building industry however, conditions different When
materials and labor excessively dear building
ons to stop entirely Probably in other line does
cost have much control consumption
This fact makes doubly important the declaration
that building has sharply reduced in the last
welvemonth In discussion of this important issue the
American Lumberman recently stated
Labor is cheaper than it year ago. although
nomnay wages the 1t is cheaper because 1t is
better.
Materials cheaper than they year not
for the that labor cheaper but in the actual
prices that must be paid
Going into detail it is asserted that "as general
proposition lumber is being sold for 10 to Is cent
less than last year Ten cent probably represents
about the decline in the retail price of building ma
erials Further to demonstrate the reduction in building
expenses the figures of Cleveland builder quoted show
ing the following percentages Of reduction in 1908 as com
pared with Masonry and grading, 29; plaster
ing 468; plumbing, 219; heating 22 painting. 245 while
lumber put 81 Sc thousand less the aggregate
