Barlow Does Not Claim to Have As
sessed Property at One Third
Its Present Cash Value
FARMERS ARE GIVEN A BOOST

With the return from Denver of
County Assessor Barlow, the people OF
this county have been given a little in.
side information regarding the recent
affair between the governor, state
board of equalization and the county as
SCISSORS.
In an interview given the Post on
Thursday evening of this week. Asses
sor Barlow said: "WelI, ! realize that
the governor has the right to dismiss
us from office. Speaking for myself, |
do not claim to have done my duty rs
the law requires, but | hold that to
adhere strictly to the letter of the law
would be an injustice to the people of
my county. | know that | have not
assessed the property of this county tn
within one-third of its value, but we
have raised the total to from $4,000
to 100000 more than it was last year
and the greater part of the raise was
made on agricultural land.
1T is true there was big difference
in the assessed values as shown by the
returns of the various assessors. For
instance, one assessor would give the
value of sheep at 80 cents per head,
while another would have them So and
still another placed the value at SO.
There, you see, is a big difference and
should not, perhaps. be the case. The
same applies to horses, cattle and agri-
cultural lands and none of them had
their assessed values up to within one
third of the real value. | think the
average value of agricultural lands in
this county as | have made the assess
ment, will be from $l7 to SIS per acre.
You know yourself that is not one.
third its value, but if | raised every
thing according to the one-third sys-
TEN, l had just as well move out of the
county, for the people would no longer
treat me right.
81 did not have my abstract of as
sessment ready, and, of course, did not
turn it in to the Denver people, but
have thirty days of grace in which to
do the work and that means that ! can
have until the first of September,
also think the railroads have a right to
kick. In this county they are paying
more than their share of the taxes
have no particular love for the rail
roads, but they are at least entitled to
square deal Glenwood has no kick
coming, neither have any of the other
towns, Lots that have sold for nearly
$1,000 are assessed at a little over

THIS YOUNG GIRL REFUSES TO TESTIFY

-A A girl from Minneapolis, Minn., whos
gave her name to Justice White as
Miss Alice Boes, has been having one
string of experiences since she arrived
in this city about week ago. 1t Is
said that soon after coming from her
eastern home she met with fellow
who claimed to be a horse jockey and
gave his name as James Rose and SAID
he was engaged to ride some horses IN
races TO be pulled off in Grand June
tion today.
After meeting the young man, who is
said to be regular heart breaker, she
is said to have become infatuated with
his smile and slick tongue and turned
over to him railroad ticket and topaz
ring. This was easy for the so-callei
Jockey, who pushed matters little
further and is said to have completely
won the confidence of the eastern girl
According to reports, he secured her a
room for one night, but that on the
following evening he told her he had 4
better room for her and escorted her to
it. This latter room is said to have
been in the Fern Hart resort on Palmer
avenue The girl is said to have gone
to the room, but soon became suspicious
of the place and refused to enter the

Reports have been received from
Denver to the effect that Governor
Shafroth is whirling around on his ear
because the assessors of the state had
so many different values on the same
animals and that he threatened to re
move every one of them. He is also
said to have announced his intention
of sending men over the state to make
investigations. In speaking of this,
Assessor Barlow said: He may send
men over the state and if he does and
they come here, they will look over the
records of land sales made and will find
that we are not near the one third
mark. 1t will show for itself and you
know what the prices have been in this
county the past year on agricultural

down the valley. The man was found
a few hours later, but the little girl
was not found until morning and of
course was dead. When found she was
near our orchard where she had been
carried with logs, rocks and other
things. You have no idea how hard
it rained. 1t came down in great sheets
and spread ,ver large portion of the
valley. The destroyed path must be
at least one and one half miles wide
at our house, but the water did not
get to our home. The sight this morn
ing is certainly terrible one for every
thing is torn all to pieces. But we
were lucky to escape at all.'
That the storm was general is shown
by reports received here from as far
east as Eagle and west as the MANN
creek country. In Eagle, the home of
Art Hockett, at which place a sister of
Hilda Gustafson was visiting, is said
to have been struck by tightening but
none OF the occupants of the house
were injured. From the Mamm creek
country comes story of washed out
bridges and badly torn up roads, but
until an examination is made. the full
extent of the damage cannot be known.
The rain in Glenwood was one of the
heaviest in years and while no damage
was reported the fall of water was
heavy.

In the Wednesday afternoon game,
which old polo enthusiasts pronounced
as one of the most exciting they had
ever seen, the ability of every player
was clearly brought out. Time after
time the ball was taken across the field
and a goal seemed certain, but rapid
work soon took the ball back to the
opposite goal. In the fifth, sixth and
seventh periods the work was of the
sensational order and brought the
large crowd of society folk to the high
est point of excitement The bell
alone seemed to prevent one or the 9th
er of the teams making n goal. For
Glenwood, her four men did fast accur-
ate work and by better playing defeat
ed the visitors by the above score.
The following were the men who
made the goals in the Wednesday
game: Baxter, 6; Stephen, 8; Dever-
eux, ?, Thus with the penalties taken
OFF, Glenwood had l0A to her credit.
w. b. Devereux was score keeper and
Charles Mccarthy the time keeper for
Glenwood, and Mr.. Hunt timer for Den
yer. Mr.. Beasley, who recently return
ed from Old Mexico, was referee. A
large crowd attended the games, among
them being many Glenwood people.

Mr.. Thorson also announced that Au

Perhaps the postofiice receipts reveal
the pulse of business life as clearly as

MUST HAVE MORE CARDINALS
Pope Realizes That He has Named
 Fewer Than Death has Taken.

Pope Realixes That He has Named
 Fewer Than Death has Taken.
 Special Cable, London-By the recent death of Cardinal Cretoni. who was an executor of Leo KITS last will. the college of cardinals. which ought to comprise 70 members, has been reduc- ed to 64. Pope Plus x at his accession found 63 members and therefore had an opportunity at once to i'll seven vacancies. He seems averse to hold ing consistories, as in the live and a half years of his pontifcate only four of these elective assemblies have been held.
 In the first year the Pope created Cardinals Merry del Val and Callegari. the latter dying shortly after. The second consistory took place two years later, which resulted in the red hat being conferred upon four preiates- Samassa, Azevedo. Spinola. and Arco- verde. Another period of sixteen months and seven more cardinals were created-Cavallari. Aguirre, Rinaldini. Lorenzelli, Mercier. Main and Lualdi, Eight months lated followed the crea- ton of four more-Gasparri, De Lai. Luncon and Andrieu.
 Altogether seventeen new cardinals have been created by Plus \. while 2s have died. During the last year alone death has claimed seven cardi- nals-Casale, Portanova, Nocella. Richard , Mathieu. Casanas. and Lecot.
 Of the 54 survivors IS reside in Rome. They belong to the curia. This number is thought to be quite insufr- cient to carry on the work of the church and the necessity of a new consistory is admitted by the Pope to be imperative.
 At the present there are six cardi- nal-bishops. 48 cardinal-priests. and five cardinal-deacons. The doyen Is Cardinal Gruscha. archbishop of Vien- na, who is sS. He is followed by Car dinals al Pietro. Samassa. and Oreglia, who are so and the youngest Is Mer- " del Val, who Is 4S.
 In all probability the next appoint ments will include Mgr, Bisleti. the papal major -domo: Mrg. Annette. arch bishop of Paris, and Mgr. Granite al Belmonte, papsl nuncio in Vienna.
