NEW FACTORY MAKING BRICK

The brick for the Thorson Ewing
building on Grand avenue are beang
made by the Glenwood Pressed Brlck
company near this city. In fact IT is
the first contract to be filed by the
company
The first brick were made on We'd
nesday of this week and according to
the plans of Superint endent Carmac,
60, 900 will be burned in the first kiln.
Later another kiln of 100000 will be
set and the fires started
This company, which is composed for
the greater part of employees Of the
Colorado Midland railroad has just in

work, but this number will be increas-

the ears directly from the pile.
This company should do great bus
iness for they have the material for
making several kinds of brick as well
as tileing, stucco plaster and various
other clay products. Tests OF tho
brick have been made in Chicago and
it is said the power of resistance Is
equal to any brick ever made. This
will lead the company officials to put
on the market a paving BRICK that
should find ready sale in the clhes

While it is probable that many OF
the workmen will make their homcs

ANOTHER p1NcHor DEFENDER

The Denver Republican recently puo-
lished the following letter from c. B.
Rhodes, of Deer Trail, Colo. The letter
speaks for itself:

made a speciality of agriculture and
forestry, is now in America and up
holds the United States Forest servl-
ice.

citizen of Denver. whom we all know
and admire, claims that the sole reason
the judge assumes to be an authority
on forests is that if you set him down
in the woods and turn him around a
couple of times, he never can find his
wa yout. This is probably the imag
NATIVE idea of critic, who, like the
poet, was born, not made.
