IAN Original Love Story"
F. L. Cox, one Of the new arrivals in
Julesburg, was the next speaker. He
spoke depreciatingiy of his ability "a
tell the people Of JuIesburg. how to
DO things, but painted glowing pict-
ure of the splendid resources and en-
vironments of the city and commended
the spirit of boosting which he had
seen do 70 much for towns and COM
munities Of the East. He mentioned
publicity ~ fruitful source Of indus
try building and stated that the East
is q ripe field for the exploiting Of
the wonderful resources Of the New
West. The banks there are full Of
money seeking investment and the
people looking this way for their fu-
ture homes. He commended strongly
the Commercial Club idea and stated
that he believed through this medium
Julesburg would become what nature
intended it should be, one of the me-
tropolises of the West.
The aim and functions of the Club,
as well a. a brief review Of the work
done, was handled by Finly Dye, Vice
President of the organization. He
mentioned the successful termination of
the bond issue campaign, the county
fair, the securing of an instructor
from the State University to give lee
lures on the proper handling Of the
soil, the encouragement of spirit of
harmony, and the beautifying of the
streets as some of the things already
accomplished. Looking into the fu-
ture, he spoke of the hopes of the or
ganization, mentioning sugar factory
an alfalfa meal mill, starch factory,
starch factory, and canning fac
tory as among the possibilities of the
future. He made an EARNEST plea
for everyone to helpand above all
things, boost.
Morality and cleanliness, as an i'm
portant factor in building up a city
desirable to live in, and one which will
attract desirable increases in popula-
ton we're dwelt on by Rev. Waller in
a speech that sustained that gentle
mans reputation as being a live one
to the interests of the community. He
pledged his every effort to these best
interests and spoke optimistically Of
the future of the city, saying that he
knew from experience that anyone who
stayed here, even for short time
would become thoroughly imbued with
the spirit of the place and want to re-
main.
The evenings program closed with a
selection from the male quartette,
composed of Messers VIM. Labaree, Jr.
S. E. Stevenson, B. d. Parker, and
Prof. Smell. This was enthusiastically
encored and responded to; which was
ample proof that the selections were
pleasing ones and gave scope for
the excellent trained voices of the men,
bers.
Mrs. Redford was the accompanied
of the evening and her talented and
charming execution was no small part
of the evenings enjoyment.

FIRE PLOT NIPPfD IN time.
Blaze Started And Gasoline Tank Started Go.
Ing al PerrintOn.

What looked very much like delib-
crate plan to burn the business section
of this village was discovered just in
time, Wednesday night. A shed in the
rear of l. b. Kinney's grocery store was
discovered to be in flames, and only
after hard work was the store saved.
Then it was found that the 50-gallon
tank of gasoline in the shed had been
tempered with in such a manner that
the fact that it did not explode is re-
garded as a miracle.
The faucet of the tank had been
opened slightly, and trail Of the fluid
started across the floor toward where
the fire was discovered. The plan was
evidently to allow the gasoline to escape
and evaporate, forming a gas which
would explode and destroy the building
Those employed in the store assert
positively that the faucet was properly
attended to when the store was closed
for the night, about an hour before the
fire broke out.
Had the flames gained greater head
way nothing would have saved the
town, as strong wind was blowing
toward the other store buildings.
