NEW CASTLE CEMENT

Scores of Glcnwood people have been
inspecting a number of cement blocks
in the sidewalks of the city the past
few DAYS, and with one accord they
agree that the hocss are equal to any
ever laid here. As these blocks are
made of New Castle cement, there has
been greater interest displayed than Is
customary with the building Of n walk.
Repairs were needed in several of the
old walks, and that the New Castle
material might be given a thorough
test beside the cement of other towns,
the New Castle blocks are of cours"
scattered over the city. In the walk
at GIG Grand avenue, one block of New
Castle cement has been laid aud at
present it gives every indication of be
ing Just as good If not better than the
lola cement on either side of it. At
least five different makes of cement
have been used in Glenwood and
block of the New Castle material has
been placed beside them that the test
might be thorough.
Mr.. Ikeler is also using the New
Castle cement in his sewer work aud
announces that it is Just as good as
any he ever used and much better
than some he has tried The plant is
now grinding ont quite lot of the
stun and those who have given the
cement careful study are convinced
that it will fill the bill and that the
future of the New Castle factory is
assured.

cheers for Colorado's leading congress
man, who came to the porch and listen
ed to C. c. Parks. president of the
Board of Trade, who told him why the
crowd was there. In a few words Mr..
Parks gave him to understand that it
was not a political move, but was a ger

neighbors to show their appreciation of
his efforts TO let eastern people know
that Colorado is the best state in tn"
Union and that Glenwood is the best
town in the state. With one accord the

true, the money will not be ready be
fore the first of November, but this
fact was not known by the managers
of the Tri-Count yfair until they had
selected their dates and advertised to
some extent. That Garfield county
wants some of the money goes without
saying.
As everyone knows, the first day of
"A four day fair, amounts to but very
little, as the time is usually taken up
with the final arranging of the various
exhibits. Such will doubtless be the
ease here this year. If Grand Valley
holds her fruit day, and we trust every
thing goes all right with them and that
their day is success, they can send
their exhibits as they did last year and
they will still be here on time and the
first day of the tri-county fair will not
have interfered with their plans at all
as the local managers of the fair will
see that the big doings does not start
here in real earnest until the morning
of the 10Th, which will give ample
time to place the Grand Valley exhi-
bits. if they send them and of course,
we believe they will.
During the past few days, Postmas-
fer Thorson has agtated the question
of holding street fair in Glenwood

permit the placing of booths in front
of their business houses Eastern cities
have been holding street fairs for

is conclusive proof that something Is
wrong and that he has kick coming
He never forgot that he was in the

best to assist his pitcher, whether IL

It Takes Money to Pay Premiums
Fair Managers Are Discouraged
And Ready to Quit
IS NOW UP TO THE PEOPLE

Unless something happens within the
next few davs there will be nothing do
ing in the fair line in Glenwood this
year. The managers of the Tri- County
fair have given their ultimatum and
say: "The people are not displaying
any interest in the fair and money s
not forthcoming in sufficient bulk TO
guarantee the payment of the premiums
that were offered The county com
missoners were willing to give but
three hundred dollars, and it is said
another hundred would have been given
by the Eagle commissioners. but $400
is n small matter when it comes TO
holding fair of any Importance. 1t is
true the state legislature allowed 4
sum for four-dav fairs, but this will not
be handed out until the first of No
vembcr, and, according to reports
from Denver, the state funds are en-
tircly too short for the Tri-County
managers to bank on getting anything
at all from that source.
While it is believed that the county
should have certain time at which the
products Of the ranch and mine could
be displayed, it takes coin to make the
affair a go and thus the coin question
has come to be the leading one with

OSCAR F. HUTCHINSON

Born February 22, 1854; died August
10, 1909.
A message received in this city Thurs
day from Yampa, Colo, announcing the
death of Oscar +. Hutchinson, father
of Mrs. Gay Sylvester and Mrs. L
Stephenson. Although the direct
cause of his death is not known by his
Glenwood relatives, they are of the
opinion that a severe attack of pneu-
monia, early last spring, finally claimed
him as its victim. Mr.. Hutchinson was
among the pioneer settlers of Denver,
having crossed the plains in the early
sirties and located in that city. Later
he invaded the wilds of the mountains
and secured one of the finest ranches
in the Yampa country, where he spent
the last years of his life. He was well
known by the old timers around Glen
wood and was highly respected by his
legions of friends, to whom the notice
of his death came as a shock, for few
of them knew that he was lowering at
death s door The funeral services will
be held in Yampa this afternoon and as
the deceased was a member of the Red
Men and Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, his fraternal brothers will
join his other friends in paying their
last respects to his memory and to his
fidelity to the duties Of this life.

with the long green. As matters are
now. it would seem that the abandon
mcnt of the first day, September 10TH
would be the right thing to do and thus
give Grand Valley the full sway that

more or less method in the madness of
the managers in selecting their dates
as they have done.

state to give a sum of money to coun-
try fairs that held four day fair. In
former years, the tri-county fair has
