most men The time is coming when great

CROWDS OF VISITORS

During the past few weeks, Glenwooi
has been visited by more people than
ever before i'm the same length of time
1t is true, the majority of them do not
stay in the city more than a couple
or three days, but there places arr
soon filed by others and thus we have
had continual string of people con-
ing into and leaving the city.
During the past week, several scores
of Iowa people have stopped here. while
old soldiers from almost every state in
the union east of Salt Lake City have
stopped off for a few days visit in the
heart of the Rockies And with one
accord they say: "This is the prctticst
spot / hava seen and I only wish time
would let mo stay longer, but l have
been away from home good while
now" \ party of Kansas soldiers to.
gcther will their families were at the
Kendriel5 cottages the other day and
before leaving announced that they
would come fo GIeuwuod next year and
not attend the reunion in the east
Others have made the same decision
and thus do we see the benefits to lie
gained by our town from the stop overs
granted by the railroads.
The crowd this week has been re
cord breaker and the rooming houses
and hotels have been crowded to their
FUN capa few. while IN GONE cases cots
had to be set mp before the crowd
could be handled. II Is safe to sny
that all Of these people will leave "'H-
wood with pleasant memories and that
another season will see many of them
back for longer stay. But if they
never come, they are bound to tell
their friends of their trip and Glen
wood will come in for a large share Of
the mention and thus we viii get ad
verti-iug that money cannot buy aud
which cannot be CLEANED from the
folder and other pieces of adyertis
ing that are yearly sent over the east
eru states.

WORK ON NEW BUILDINGS

Although actual construction worl,
has not been started on the Thorson-
Sweet set OF business rooms on Grand
avenue, connections have been made
with the water main and the excava-
tions will be started Immediately and
the work pushed just as rapidly as
workmen can do the work.
Eight business rooms will be built.
Four 16X1o0 and four 2OXlOO, which
means that that block on Grand avenue
will become practically a solid block
of up-to-date business rooms.
Now that it is known that the build
ings will be bnt one story high, there
are many asking the question, "Why
not build another story and have a
suitable place for large conventions! "
Such a scheme seems to many to be a
good one and solution for the audi.
torium problem with which the Board
of Trade wrcstled some weeks ago.
The location is certainly ideal for IL
convention room and the capacity
would guaranty sufficient room for any
convention other than one of national
Importance. But if anything is to Fc
done, it should be taken up before the
buildings of NTrssrs. Thorson and Swecr
are under full headway.
