With the advent of joyous sprin2 comes that perennial blossoming out Of Democratic hopes of control of the house of representatives. Nature may paint the landscape green, the birds may thrill joyous Hits in the budding trees, all signs may presage the pass ing of winter-still, spring isn't off, cially and really and truly d reality until some Democratic leader comes out with an interview glowingly de- to attend the banners of Democracy in the fall elections.
 The weather of late hasn't been pro pitious in Washington for spring poets but nevertheless Representa- tive Jim Lloyd, of Missouri. chair man of the Democratic congressional committee. has whanged off a few chords on the harp and lifted high his mellifluous voice, in stirring accents proclaimins what's going to happep in the fall and busying himself in the joyous task of composing a pean of triumph for use when he once again lays down his trusty pen, wearied, but conscious of work well done
 Though Chairman Lloyd professes to believe that Bryan will come into his own-meaning the White House he takes additional comfort in the 1 pleasant prospect that, if something should happen and Bryan did get left, still there would beyond lack or doubt be Demoeatic majority in congress. Lloyd says it's sure tip And he is so blamed optimistic about it that the Republican members are taking no- tice.

 the past T hours and indicates that the crest of the flood from the water shed has been reached and the waters are now rcceding. II js an established fact that the NeushO river has been pouring the greater part of the flood water into the Arkansas within the past few days. augmented by heavy local rains in Arkansas, it has caused the greatest rise of years in the river.
 There Was a light rain last night al Oklahoma City and Fort Smith. At Little Rock. .GS of an inch fell last night, and at Pine Bluff .36 The rain- fall at Fort Smith and points west of that city do not appear to have been heavy enough to atfecI the river fur ther.
 Director .Nlciatore said today noon that he believed the river between Lit tie Rock and Fort Smith would be sta tionary or would fall slightly within the next 24 hours. At Pine Bluff there will be q further rise to a maximum stage of 2f.5 10 2l.S feet Flood stage is 25 feet, but it is not believed the river will reach that stage although the indications are that it will miss it only the fraction of a foot For this reason Mr. Alciatore has refrained from issuing d direct flood warning to i the people of Pine Bluff and vicinity. |
 So far no definite damage has been | from the floods. There has ! been some overflow in the low lands and considerable back water in the )ayous and creeks, but financial dam age has not been reported up to this ime.

BADLY IN NEED
OF INFORMATION

The first detachment of the
summer army of tourists has az
rived and Secretary Overlook of
the board of trade has been be-
sieged with requests for informa
ton regarding board and rooms,
and the rates therefor
An appeal is made to those cit
izens who have either rooms or
board for visitors to communicate
with him, giving rates and the
number of persons that can be
accommodated.
1t is urgently necessary, too,
that those having small cottages
to rent, either for the summer or
by the week, inform him, as the
demand is good. For reasons that
are self-evident, it is necessary
that he be given full and com
plete information, and our citi-
zens are urged to cooperate with
the board of trade through its
secretary in providing for the
strangers within our gates.

and that il necessary a big tent
will be erected.
The G.. A. R. veterans were
present last night, and asked as
sistance of the board of trade to
and them in carrying out their
program. A committee to raise
funds for this purpose was ap-
pointed.
Another long discussion fol-
lowed relative to another good
fellowship excursion. Agent Ex-
ter was authorized to work up
such trip. The date has been
fixed as June 8. Mr.. Exter will
work on this not only in his Off
eial capacity, but as member of
.the board of trade as well, show
ing that the trip has the endorse
ment of that body.
The ball team is to be taken
lanog, and arrangements were
completed this morning for a
game with the Cloud city bunch.
All towns en- route will be visited,
and it Is expected that the trip
will be repetition of that held
Monday.
AS now planned, diner will be
put on at Minturn, or dinner will
be served there, or both. In any
event. it will be made certain that
the good fellows" of the goo |
fellowship excursion, their wives
and their sweethearts, will not
have to go hungry.
Abt Cohn had many data to
submit to an auditorium for this
town, and in a vigorous speech
pointed out the necessity for such
a structure. The matter will be
brought up before . the whole
hoard of trade at a smoker that
is to be given Friday, June 5.

MEMORIAL DAY
TO Be OBSERVED
Old Soldiers Optimistic Over
Celebration Now Planned.
Marching and Music
CHILDREN ARE IN IT

That Glenwood is to have
real observance of Memorial day,
such as it has not seen in years, is
the opinion of the prominent old
soldiers who We're present at the
advisory board meeting of the
Board of Trade, where the mat
ter was taken up and discussed
at length.
w. w. Carpenter was spOkes-
man for the veterans, who asked
that the board assist them to get
music for the day. He stated that
the school children would patici-
pate, and that delegation of
them would go to the cemetery
and strew flowers on the graves
of the comrades who have gone.
He said that all arrangements
had been made except for secur-
ing music for the day. that the
band had been interviewed and
set price for playing that day
which was entirely beyond the
veterans means. He asked that
they be given financial assistance.
1t was voted that the board see to
it that the old soldiers have mu-
sic, and the first step in that d.
rection was taken on the spot,
when a collection was taken up
and $13 secured. This was donat-
ed by the advisory board and in
terested citizens who were pres
,ent. ....
Wagonettes will be provided
for the old soldiers when the pro-
gram arranged for the town has
been completed. and the, and they
and a number of children will be
driven to Rosebud cemetery
where the exercises will be con-
cluded. A committee was ap-
pointed to solicit funds from the
business men to aid in defraying
necessary expenses.
A proclamation calling upon
them to commemorate the day and
appealing to the people of Glen
wood to make his day one sacred
to the memory of the dead has
been issued by President CALI
cote of the Veterans association
and will be found in another part
of the Post.

HOTEL COLORADO
READY FOR GUESTS
From Thursdays Daily Post,

The Hotel Colorado was official
ly opened this morning for break
fast and already thirty guests
have arrived. More are expected
on tonight's trains and before the
week is ended it is probable that
half hundred will be enjoying
its comforts and the beauties of
Glenwood Springs.
Frightened with paint, in need
ed portions, in Railways and in
some of the rooms, with new car
pets and many of the walls re-
touched and re-decorated, it pre-.
sents a most inviting and attract
i've appearance.

In addition to the next good
fellowship excursion many other
matters of interest and impor-
tance were taken up. A commit
tee, to act with similar commit
tee appointed by the New Castle
board of trade, which will take
up the matter of improving the
road between the two town with
the county commissioners was ap-
pointed by President Parks. Its
members from Glenwood are A.
Cohn, A. l.. Chase and T.. f..
Drach, and the men who will act
forr New Castle are j. A. McRae,
P. c. Coryell and |. G. Griffith. :
A letter was read from the Den
yer Press club signed by Clarence
Lyman, asking that Glenwood en-
tertain the visiting newspaper
men who will be in Denver to
"cover" the national convention.
The Glenwood Hot Springs COM
pany has announced that il will
extend the use of its baths to the
visitors, and the hotels of the
town will make substantial reduc-
tions in rates.
Much time was taken up in dis
cussing the matter of arrange
ments for the delegates to the
Democratic state convention. 1t
has been the intention to hold the
convention in the opera house,
but owing to the results of the
Denver election, it is more than
likely that there will be much
larger delegation from that city
than was at first expected.
Mayor Drach, chairman of the
convention committee of the
board, stated that he was in com
munication with Milton Smith.

PLANS FOR CITY
AUDITORIUM

At the next smoker of the
board of trade one of the princi-
pal subjects for discussion will be
an auditorium for Glenwood
Springs. Abe Cohn, one of the
towns leading citizens and mosL
enthusiastic boosters has IA plan
under consideration whcrab, we
may secure such structure that
can easily be made to pay for it
self. In speaking of it today Mr.
Cohn said:
"My idea is to erect a struc-
ture to cost approximately $15,
600, somewhat on the order Of
the one in Grand Junction, which
l and others from this city in
spected when we were there Mon
day.
"Six lots, as centrally located
as possible, would be required.
The building itself would occupy
the entire space, 100 X $50. OF
this the auditorium proper would
take up a space of Is X 15O.s
"The balance 1 would divide
into storerooms, six of them, %
25, which l believe could easily
be rented for $15 month, and
the income from this source alone
would almost pay the interest on
the bonds.
"Or, if it was found that the
town cared to rent a portion of it
for city hall and fire house, it
could easily be built to fill that
need.

The Seeleeites of Denver were
handed bunch yesterday after
noon wher the locals, playing the
game with style and finish, trim
med them to the tune of 10 to Z.
Tie weather was anything but fa-
vorable, and rain fell at intervals,
which caused only small crowd
to turn ont. The shops of the
town closed during the game.
Willett was in fair form, and had
excellent support. A feature Of
the game was the fact that he
faced only nine men during the
first three innings. The game was
characterized by fast fielding and
hard hitting.
Another feature was the throw
;ng of Mangnall. who threw to
second on five different occasions
and put men out.
Bruggemann at short proved
himself in the game at all stages
and much favorable comment
from the fans on the showing of
the boys who were in the game
for the first time, was heard.
