might secure funds with which to buy
new suits, President Parks of the board
Of trade, together with the committee
appointed for the April meeting, de-
cided to let them have charge of the
suppcr. The boys worked hard Monday
and sold about $50 tickets to the meet
ing, thus netting a handsome sum to
start the payment of the suits. Austin
Gavin had announced that he would
give q check to make up any shortage
there might be, and thus the boys are
assured of new suits and the same will
be ordered just as soon as possible.
The supper provided by the high
school girls and their friends was one
of the best ever given the business
men at their meetings, and the serv-
ing could not be excelled. Some of the
boys put on large aprons and carried
grea. trays loaded with good things,
until every one of the $50 present had
satisfied the inner man.
President Parks appointed W. s.
Parkison, Dr.. Mccartney, and George ii.
Bell as q committee for the May meet
ing. Following this announcement, Fl.
W. Smith, w. R. Lee, Elmer Lucas, +.
f. Draeh and John Worries, Sr., were ap-
poin.ed to have charge of the advertis-
ing for the coming summer.
Tho question of permitting outsiders
to come here during the summer and
open stands and other places of bust
ness Just for the rush season and then
leaving the place, was brought up and
Jack Worries, ". R. Lee and Fred Smell
were appointed to take up the matter
with the city council.
Postmaster Thorson reported that the
office receipts for the fiscal year end
ing March 81, 1909, amounted to Sic,
llO.65. These figures entitle Glenwooi
people to free mail delivery, but no
definite action can be taken until Mr..
Thorson's books have been audited ana
this will require about six weeks. There
are then two courses open to the peo
Pile. Firs., petition of the business
men and citizens, and second, petition
of the city council. After considerable
discussion of the subject, it was dc
cided that the board of trade work
nwith the city council and petition the
postoffice department when the time
comes.
M. J. Mayes reported the progress of
the "marble" committee and read let
ters received from President Strous of
the Crystal River Marble company.
This company has not decided to locate
at Littleton, although they have pur-
chased some land there, but if the peo-
Pile of this city will give ten or twelve
acres Of land and cash bonus Of five
or six thousand dollars, they will prob
ably come here with their big marble
mill. The D. & R. G. through Agent
Exter is making every effort to as
sist in securing the mill for this city
I and il the people will do their part, it
il safe to predict another year will see
Glenwood with this industry.

Magazine Of Boston, addressed the
board, and paid this city handsome
tribute for the natural scenic beauties

be proud of the board of trade, for it
seemed to be a united force for better

asked for the support of the board, and
said the business men should assist in
securing a larger membership to the de
par.ment. President Parks announced
