COMES TO GLENWOOD

GlenwOOd fans are feeling
good over the announcement re-
ceived by Secretary Barton Of
the ball club that Ballinger, who
pitched some great bali for Glen
wood last year, has decided TO
come here again this year and
will be seen in the box. Another
old player who made good last
wear, Tom Skinner, will also be
here this year. With the good
start the the team has made so
far, there is no reason why Glen
wood shouldn't have as good n
team as it had last year and
even better The first game to
be played on the local diamond
will be played next Sunday whea
the team will play practice
game with the high school boys.

good blaze in progress. The fire
started in the steam drying room,
and through the good work of
the department was confined al
most entirely to that section,
though the room was completely
destroyed. How the fire started
is mystery to Mr.. Langston, in
aslnuch as there is never any fire
in that room, nor could anything
catch from falling on the pipes.
There were but few articles of
clothing in the room. This Is
rather fortunate, as the room is
generally full of clothes left there
to dry over night. Mr.. Langston
places his loss between $500 and
$500, fully covered by insurance.
Owing to the fire, work in the
laundry will be handicapped for
few days.
Mr.. Langston wishes to public
ly thank the members of the fire
department and the citizens Of
the town who turned in and help
ed. for the good work that they
did last evening.

NEW HOME FOR
PHONE COMPANY

A Post representative inter
viewed H. A. Rhodes, chief engi,
neer, Of the Colorado Telephone
company a. to the changes soou
to be made by the company by
the transfer Of the central ohice
to the second story Of the Morrell
building, the building just ad-
joining the present location.
This change is made absolutely
necessary by the rapid increase
in business during the past few
years, it having completely out
grown the present headquarters.
The new Office will be provided
by the erection by Henry Morrell
Of a second story to his building
now occupied by S. Hymes, the
tailor.
The Office will be reached by
a front stairway between the tai
lor shop and drug store. The
front Office will be occupied by
the operators for the talking
public. Back of railing across
the center will be the general
public Office of the chief operator
and accountant. A rear stairway
will lead to the back Of the lot
where will be erected a ware
house for the storage Of supplies
needed by the company in con-
struction and other work. The
company has secured long lease
on the new property and the
buildings have been designed
with especial reference to the
company's requirements.
On account Of the increasing
personal interests of the manag-
er, w. s. Parkison, he will find it
impossible to look after the COM
pany's business after the transfer
has been made, and Fred Clau-
don, Mr.. Parkison's assistant,
will be placed in charge Of the
business.
From the time when the COM
pany's business was first installed
in Glenwood ten years ago, Mr..
Parkison has been in constant
charge of the local exchange and
it is largely due to his careful
management that the business
has grown to its present propor-
tions and reached a point where
it requires more time than it is
possible for him to give it with
ont neglecting and sacrificing his
own private business. 1t is ex-
pected that the new Office will be
ready for occupancy by May l.

WATER SYSTEM AT
PALIsADE FINISHED

| Palisade, Colo, Mar. 16.-Pai-
l.sade was the scene of a celebra-
! ton this afternoon over the COM
pletion of the Palisade mountain
water system and the turning in
to the water mains Of as fine a
supply of mountain water as any
Colorado town has. There was :,
large crowd present, including a
number of visitors from Gran.l
Junction and other towns. The
day had been declared public
holiday by the mayor and every
thing was closed. The system is
modern in every respect and it
will be a great thing for this
town.
The water was officially turned
on this afternoon and the pipes
stood the test admirably. Those
visitors who sampled the pure
mountain water were enthusias-
tic in their praise of its quality
and clearness and equally as ell
thusiastic in congratulating the
Palisadeans in being so fortunate
as to secure such fine supply.
Shortly after 2 p. m. the water
system was given its official test,
and the test was immensely sat
isfactory. Streams were thrown
from two strings of fire hose and
the pressure measured 12l
pounds to the square inch. The
satisfactory condition of the new
system reflects great credit upon
its engineer, John j. Lumsden.
The school children, headed by
a drum corps and under the di-
rection Of Prof. j. w. Thompson,
marched in a body to the point
where the tests were made.
Fire Chief Rogers of this city
gave a practical demonstration OF
attaching andd etaching the big
fire hose nozzle.

GARFIELD PIONEERS
IN pICTITRE

The Denver Times of yesterday
contains a picture of j. B. Huri-
burt and wife of Grand Valley
and their eleven children and ten
grandchildren. Beneath the cut
appears the following interesting
article:
perhaps the most remarkable
family reunion in the history Of
western Colorado was that Of j.
B. Hurlburt, pioneer sheep aud
cattle man of this section, who
recently was honored by the as
sembling of every member of his
family, 90 in all, at Grand VAL
ley. Joining Mr.. and Mrs. Hurl-
burt in celebration of the occa-
sion were their eleven children
and ten grandchildren.
"Hurlburt was born in Scott
county, Iowa, in 1889, and passed
his boyhood in that state. At six
teen he was mining in Placer
county. California. In 1859 he
moved to Oregon and, like Lin
coin, was rail splitter. In 1862
he came overland to Parachute,
now Grand Valley, Colo, and
commenced raising sheep and
fruit. He has always been an
active church and school worker.
He was the first man to plant and
cultivate fruit trees in Grand
Valley. Hurlburt is as active and
energetic as a man Of As and it
is said that he is to be a candi-
date for the state legislature from
Garfield county this year."

ROOSEVELT ON
INLAND WATERWAYS

The president s message on in
land waterways was one of the
most interesting he has ever writ
ten, and deals with a subject of
the first Importance. The Mis-
sissippi river and its tributaries
form one of the finest water sys-
TENS in the world, and we have
done less with it than any other
civilized country has done with
its water supply. This Mississip-
pi river itself has been allowed TO
be a destructive instead Of a con-
structive and beneficent agency,
and has carried out to sea, or
rather has carried to the bar,
where it obstructs navigation, an
amount of good land that is Of
priceless value and that should
have been retained in its proper
place.. Then again, our means Of
transportation for long distances
are almost restricted to railroads.
When there is heavy demand
FOR cars, as there was part OF last
year, it is simply impossible TO
move the freight; when the de-
mand is slack, as it is now, thou
sands of cars are standing idle
and earning nothing. The con-
struction of canals, the deepening
Of channels, the strengthening of
borders and other work that
would be done in systematic
way and according to well con-
ceived plan by waterways COM
mission, would come near to solv-.
ing the transportation problem
over a large area. As one reads
the message, the thought can not
help arising: What more splen-
did work could Theodore Roose-
welt undertake after he retires
from the presidency than the di-
rection Of this grand plan, and
what other man in the world
could possibly undertake it with
SO good chance Of q successful

until she reached home.

RADIO Springs today to boost for

the mineral baths are wonderful
ly good and is going to recon-

sort more popular each year.

ORCHARD RECEIVES
DEATH SENTENCE

Caldwell, Ida., Mar. 18 Harry
Orchard was sentenced to death
by Judge Wood of the district
court this morning at 10 clock.
In a written ruling Judge Wood
recommended to the board Of
pardons that the sentence be COM
muted to life Imprisonment. His
reason for doing this was due TO
the fact, SO he says, that Orchard
told the exact truth on the wit
ness stand. 1t is believed that
the board will not act on the rec
ommendation and that Orchard
will hang. Orchard showed no
emotion when he received his sen
tence.

La Toilette Says That Panic
Was Created for Their
Own Profit
FIGHTS ALDR|cH BILL

Washington, Mar. Ex-senator
La Toilette of Wisconsin, in a
speech in the senate yesterday,
charged that the System" ere
ated financial panic for its
own profit and that already the
members of the System" had
made millions off the unfortunate
in this little furry. He was
speaking against the Aldrich Ii
nancial bill. He said the provi-
sion of the law making railroad
bonds basis for issuing currer-
cy would place the money mar.
ket Of the country completely at
the mercy of Morgan, Rockefel-
Ter and other members of the
system.
He stated that the few men
who controlled fourteen of the
large banks in New York held 3s
per cent of all the railroad, mu-
nicipal and state bonds of the
country. If these bonds were to
be made the basis for the issuing
of currency in panicky times o.
any other time, he said it would
place in the hands of the few the
absolute control Of the money
morket of the country.
Senator La Toilette announc-
ed that he would occupy all the
time of the senate for several
days in a speech against the AL
drich "shin plaster" financial
bill, which proposes to make nv
nicipal, state and railraod bonds
the basis for issuing currency
The senate committee on finance
decided to strike from the Aid
rich bill the railroad bond fea-
ture. This created something of
a sensation and the action of the
committee took away much Of
the ammunition of Senator La
Toilette.
One by one the Objectionable
features of the Aldrich bill have
been stricken out, though it is
not probable that there will be
any financial legislation of any
kind during this session.
