When Postmaster Ole Thor-on re
ceivcd notice a few days ago that lie
had secured the contract for furnish

he Immediately called on Architect
Rosenberg and asked that gentleman to
draw up plans for the building. Hard.
ly had this been done. when Fred Ew
ing announced his intention of erect
ing Il building adjoining shat OF Thor
son. Then came the word that Charley
Brown, who is at present in Shoshore
working, would be here this week to
talk over the affair and he may join
the other two. +. T. Taylor, who is at
present congressman at large from this
state, owns the lot adjoining that If
Brown, and efforts will be made TO
have him 20 in with the three men,
and thus erect a business block 100
feet square.
Mr.. Ewing announces that he viii
have one Of the hand4omcst fronts n
his building that has ever been seen
outside Il city of the size of Chicago.
He has made his selection. and it is a
beauty. He will have a large business
room on the frs. floor. and ut least
eight office rooms above. He and Mr..
Thor on are planning together, thus
the stairway will be in the center of
the two buildings. Mr.. Thorson will
have either eight or nine office rooms
in the upper story, while the first
floor will he used exclusively for post
office purposes. There will be two en-
frances to the postoffice. One FROM
the stairway entrance to the building,
and another from the north corner of
the front of the building. The office
of the postma ster will be TO the right
side of the room. while just to the rear
of this will be a lobby, which will per

the People VS.. Mamie Mitchell and
James Barrett, charged with stealing

The case was hard fought, and was

several surprises were sprung during

LAW TO PROMOTE IRRIGATION

Governor Shafroth has approved
house bill No. l59 which gives to ns.
cry irrigation district in the state the
power to supply water for irrigation
purposes to unpatented lands.
Adjacent to every irrigation district
are many desert claims and homestead
claims that it has been impossible 10
irrigate because of lack of water
rights. The new law will authorize the
furnishing of water for all such lands
on reasonable terms.
The law also gives irrigation dis.
tricts the power of eminent domain,
with the right to condemn such lands
as NAV be necessary to the most eco
nomical and feasible conveyance and
use of water.
The governor also approved house
bill No. II, to reorganize the natlonai
guard of the state, in conformity with
federal requirements.
The state will now receive about
$50 900 annually from the federal gov
ernment to aid in the maintenance of
the militia.
The governor left early in the morn
ing for Fort Collins. He will probably
not again be in his office until Mon.
day.

Some weeks ago the boys in Miss
Welty's class in the Methodist Sunday
school, organized 4 club and took as n
name 1.-The True Blue Club. - 1t has
been their custom to hold meetings ev-
cry two weeks at the home of one of
the members. On Thursday evening of
this week, President Carl Schooner had
thean at his home on Bennett avenue.
A. departure from the regular plans,
the girls of Miss Carrie Thomas class
were invited to the Schooner home and
entertained by the boys. There Were

tha classes and a delightful evening
was spent in various games and snort

$3.50 Mrs. Schooner, who, with Miss
Welty, are always present at the meet
mgs with the boys, called the young
folks into the lunch room where dainty
refreshments of fruit salad with whip
ned cream, cake and macaroons, were
served. Each of the guests then re-
cciyed a little souvenir in the shape of
m Easter egg or a rabbit, the occasion
being in honor of Easter.
Just q, before departing for Their
homes, President Schooner called the
boys together and, observing parlia-
1nentary rules to the letter, short
business session was held during which
It was decided to hold the next meet

very proficient in holding their busi

young men to provo themselves equal

new PENNANT
FOR HIGH SCHOOL

Things are certainly coming our
way" said the high school boys this
week. First it was the Board of Trade
supper, which netted them hand
some sum, then came Austin Gavin
with 4 check for the coin of the realm
and last, but not least, the Worries
Book and Stationary company has do
mated a handsome eight foot pennant
for the high school room. On the pen
nant are the words, "Glenwood

and the boys and girls are all proud
of the gift. Let the good work go
on for we have the best school in the
state and the best high school pupils

DR.. |. G. CLARK
GAVE BOYS BALLS

The Glenwood high school base ball
team is certainly paying in great luck
these days. Hardy had Austin GAVIN
agreed to give 4 check toward securing
suits for the team, when DIR. l.. G.
Clark, former ball player, umpire and
all-around general purpose bali tan,
telephoned the boys that he had
bought them dozen balls. This was a
great surprise and coming, as it did.
on the heels of the offer of Mr.. Gavin
to make up any shortage there might
lie in the amount needed for the new
suits after the board of trade supper,
made the high school boys feel that
they are appreciated by their Glen
wood friends.
Now it is up to the rest of the pco-
pie, but if you will all go to the bal
park this Saturday afternoon and
drop your coin into the till to pay your
way into the game between the locals
and the Aspen high school team, the
high school boys will know for sure
that Glenwood is interested in them.

Of the saloon told the man to "cut it
OUT but he continued the hellishh
work of making a drunkard.

ports have come from various towns i'll

little boy, thus it would seem that it

that as it may, some action should be
taken to put a stop to that sort of dis

in taking his three yearold child into
