The Glenwood post., 1908-02-15


left for Denver last night. To-
morrow Senator Taylor will az
que case in the supreme court.
He went to Denver a week ago
for the same purpose, and learned
after arriving there that through
an error on the part of the clerk
of the court, he had been notified
to appear week ahead of the
time set for the hearing.
Fortunate will be the outsiders
who secure invitations to the Ea-
giles smoker to be given on the
night of February 81. The COM
mittee, composed of Cliff Rowe,
Lon Johnson and Ora Barton, has
the situation well in hand. Hans
Mueller is in charge of the ban
quet, and this, without any other
sttraction. is sufficient to draw q
crowd Rowe, however, declares
that those who attend will have
more fun than they would have if
they undertook to take stage
coach to Meeker. Cliff landed in
the middle of the road three diff
ferent times on that journey
The services yesterday at the
Methodist church We're of MEM
orial character in honor of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln. At
the morning service "a responsive
program prepared by the society
was used. In the evening the au-
dience was addressed by w. A.
Evans and w. r. Callicotte as
well as the pastor. This feature
was quite interesting as Mr.. Ev-
ans for many years lived in Mr..
Lincoln's district, the eighth jul
dicial, in Illinois. He has often
seen the great emancipator and
later became very well acuuaint-
ed with many of Mr.. Lincoln's
personal friends. The church was
well filed and the service was
greatly enjoyed.
The Glenwood Lumber and
Manufacturing company has in
augurated a sort of building and
loan association within the circle
OF its customers, or rather a plan
which is designed to serve the
same purpose. This is plan
whereby those wishing to build
may secure a bill of lumber and
material, making reasonable
payment on the same and giving
notes for the balance, payable on
Or before a certain date. These
notes draw small rate of inter
est and may be paid in whole or
IN part at any time to suit the
convenience of the borrower.
This plan Mr.. Dougan put into
execution in several instances
/ last year and the results were so
satisfactory that it will be used
to greater extent the coming sum-
mer.
quite scare was created in
basalt last Saturday when it was
reported that Miss Lucy Clarke
had contracted smallpox. The
young lady was taken sick at the
home'of Mr.. and Mrs. Edw. Trow-
bridge and the house was imme-
dlately quarantined, but it was
later discovered that she did not
have the smallpox at all, the case
being pronounced chicken-pox
The people are now of the opin-
ion that there haven't been anv
smallpox cases in Basalt or the
neighborhood. Later.-An exam
lnation was made Friday by Drs.
Thompson and Kennedy of Ba-
salt, and DR.. Clark of Glenwood

antine was Immediately estab-
lished on the Trowbridge resi-
dence.-Basalt journal.
