aLENWooD TO HAVE
POSTAL SAVINGS

1t is more than possible that the
Glenwood Springs postofice will soon
be designated as postal savings do
pository under the new federal law
,Sassed last June.
Postmaster Thorson made applica-
tion to the department some time ago
to have this Office designated as saw
ings depository in accordance with the
provisions of the new law, stating that
he already held over $4,000 on deposit
for the patrons of the Office.
In answer to Mr.. Thorson's applica-
tion he is just in receipt of the fol
lowing letter from Washington:
The Postmaster,
Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
Sir:
In reply to your letter of recent
date. in which you request that your
office be designated as postal savings
depository under the provisions of the
Act approved June 25. 1910, 1 beg to
advise you that your application will
be duly presented to the Board Of Trus-
tees for confederation.

Aurrz1Ln TALKS HraH11NE

D. w. Aupperle was in Palisade on
future possibilities Of the High Line
canal. Ae had expected the army en-
gineers to visit the Grand valley pro-
ject first, and says this program would
have been carried out had the board
been divided as at first planned. Bat
at a late hour the engineers decided
to travel together and first visited
the Pathfinder dam project in Wyom-
ing. after which they will go to Idaho
and other places. Mr.. Aupperle ex-
poets them to land in the Grand valley
about the middle of September.
con thinking the matter over care
fully" said Mr.. Aupperle, "I have
decided that the best and fairest me-
thoi of procedure would be to have
those army engineers visit Palisadc
first and see what is needed at this
end of the valley. 1t seems to me
they ought to be given entirely into
the hands of some of your prominent
land owners here first-those who will
be most directly affected by the route
of the canal We at the lower end of
the valley ought to keep our hands off
until you people have had every op-
portunity to explain the situation here.
and / believe that program will be
adopted. OF course we have no means
of telling what the decision will be,
but I feel that the cost of the con-
struction will figure in the result since
the original appropriation was reduced

membered as affording more happy
hours and educational features at the
same time than any other event in the

than an exhibition, for, aside from the
exhibits in the various buildings and
throughout the grounds the "Great
Divide" will TEEN with amusements.
which have never been seen in the
west, while the aviation contest, the
automobile show and number of out
of-door performances of exciting ma
ture will be absolutely free.
Every arrangement possible has been
made for the comfort and convenience
of the visitors, such as information
bureaus, emergency hospitals and am
balances, branch post Offices, press bur
eaus, resting places and increased trans
portation facilities to and from the
city.
There is not a community in any
of the western states represented which
will not receive untold benefits from
the quarter of million dollars which
the Exposition management has put
into this enterprise.
The premium list which shows
$50 100000 in prizes to be given away
is now being distributed. and may be
had upon request of Secretary g. c.

AposrRopHE TO GRASS

One Of the most exquisite prose
painters which American pubic life
has ever pr,ducel was the late Sena-
tor John J. Ingalls, of Kansas. When
ever it was known that the brilliant
Kansan was to speak the galleries of
the senate chamber were invariably
packed. Usually he was caustic and
vindictive-in fact, something of a
wasp, whose sting was the dread and
terror of his adversaries in debate,
but sometimes he INDUCED his exub-
Grant fancy by painting the most po-
etic pictures. The following apostro-
phe, to grass is an inspiration. Said
he:
"Grass is the forgiveness of nature
her contrast benediction. Fields
trampled with battle. saturated with
blood, torn with the ruts of cannon,
grow green again with grass, and car
mage is forgotten. Streets abandoned
by traffic become grass-grown like
rural lanes, and obliterated. Forests
decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish,
but grass is immortal. Beleagured by
the seven hosts of winter, it withdraws
into the impregnable fortress of it's
subterranean vitality and energies upon
the first solicitation of spring. Sown
by the winds, by the wandering birds.
propagatei by the subtle horticulture
of the elements which are its minis
ters and servants, it softens the nude
outline of the world. Its tenacious
fibers hold the earth in its place and
prevent its soluable and components
from washing into the wasting sea.
1t invades the solitudes of the deserts,
climbs the inaccessible slopes and for
bidding pinnacles of mountains, modi-
fies climates and determines the his-
tory, character and destiny of nations.
Unobtrusive and patient, it has immor-
tai vigor and aggression. Banished
from the thoroughfares and the field,
it bides its time to return, and when
vigilance is relaxed, or the dynasty has
perished. it silently resumes the throne
from which it has been expelled, but
which it never abdicates. 1t bears no
blazonry of bloom to charm the sense
with fragrance or splendor, but its
homely hue is more enhancing than the
lily or the rose. 1t yields no fruit in
earth or air, and yet, should its har-
vest fail for single year, famine
would depopulate the world"

. OUR FIRST NATIONAL

The people of Glenwooi Springs and
Garfield county have always known
that the First National bank Of this
city was making a remarkable record
in prosperity although few have even
dreamed that it distanced all other
banking institutions in the state uf

ing to the government statistics op
national bank conditions throughout
the country:
= Statistics compiled by the comptrol-
Ter of the currency at Washington on
the condition of the national banks Of
the country at the close of business on
June 80 show that Colorado has seven
teen among it's lis national banks
which are entitled to positions on the
treasury department roll Of honor
for the excellent showing made. These
represent institutions which show sur
plus and undivided profits equal to OF
in excess of their capital stock.
Three Denver banks are on the rol!

= sixteeAth among the banks Of the state.
The First National bank Of Glenwool
Springs ranked first. COlorado's per
centage was 14.S and that placed it in
the thirteenth position among the
states. Colorado ranked better than
Texas, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa, Missouri.
Wisconsin, Maine, West Virginia. Geor-
gia, California and several other states.
Denver banks made better showing
than Kansas City, Portland, Ore. and

and are asking for votes for dog gcatch-
er, sheriff, coroner or judge and the
joke of it is l cannot find voter who
can tell anything about over one or
two of the vast array of talent. The
result will be that the "reformers'
who have brought this political con-
dition about and who have "ma-
chine" and the labor unions, who can
concentrate their vote, have all sorts
of advantage, both in securing petitions
and electing nominees.
The "reformers'' have destroyed the

licans and Democrats and the petition
brokers who get names at 10 cents a
head, are in shape to nominate, call
for referendum "initiate" legisla-
tion, "recall' officers or anything else

proposition is "nuts' for the political
newspaper man, because man must
either own or buy a newspaper to get
into the game at all. In Colorado, Pat

reformers would have recalls and refer
endums about every ten days. The
Temperance crowd would have their

WOMAN SEEKING DIVORCE
SUES TO DISBAR LAWYER
Bar Association Files an Action
Against E. H. Bentley for
Mrs. LummiS

An action for the disbarment OF At
torney E. II. Bentley was filed In the
superior court yesterday by Mrs. D. l..
Lummis and the Los Angeles Bar as
sociation, in which the plaintiffs allege
the attorney violated the rules of the
association in receiving and keeping
money in a divorce suit which he Is
alleged to have never even filed IN the
superior court.
1t is declared by Mrs. Lummis that
she retained Bentley in April of 1909 to
prosecute divorce proceedings in her
behalf, and that she gave him, $l4oO
as a retaining fee. Upon Bentley rep
resentations chat the suit had been
filed and would come up for trial short
ly, she alleges that she gave him other
amounts aggregating $25, but she heard
no more of the divorce action.
In November of the same year, she
declares, she went to the county clerk
office and discovered that the action
had not even been filed and she in
formed the bar association of Bent
ley's actions in the matter. She claims
that she endeavored to secure return
of her money, but the request was re-
fused by the attorney.
The bar association has retained At
torneys S. w. Odell and X. B. Camp
bell to prosecute the action for the
disbarment of Bentley on the ground
of his failure to keep the agreement
with Mrs. Lummis and his failure to
return the money.

JURY AWARDS $4,000 To
SERV|S' S|sTER-|N-LAW
Suit Brought on Account of In
jurieS He Is Said to Have
Caused Brothers Wife


After being out less than an hour,
the Jury in the action of Emma C.
SerVis against Charles A. SerVis her
brother-in-law, for $25,000 damages for
injuries she alleges she sustained by
his beating her, returned verdict for
the plaintiff of $4,000.
The trial had been in progress in
Judge James court for nearly a week
and the testimony was of an extraor-
binary nature, eight physicians being
in attendance at the trial at one time
to give testimony regarding the in
juries alleged to have been suffered
by the plaintiff.
HUSBAND AWAY
The action grew out of an assault
some months ago, when 1t is claimed
that Charles Servis entered the home
of his brother, William Servis, with the
intention to secure some papers from
a trunk The husband OF Mrs. Servis
was in the east and she attempted to
prevent the visitor rummaglng
through the trunk. He Is said to have
beaten her, and the damage action fol-
lowed the assault.
The fight between the brothers has
been in progress for some years, hav-
ing its inception from the date of their
mothers death. She left an estate val
ueQ Dy WllllaHu oeTNlS at dpOul 9fOIUuV
to Charles Servis, not naming her
other son. Charles Servis declared the
value of the property to be $500, it is
claimed.
WILLIAM SERVIS SUES
William 'Servis filed suit to recover
his legal share of the estate on the
ground that as his mother made no
mention of him, she had no reason to
consider him disinherited This action
is still pending and the third amended
complaint has been filed. 1t is ex-
pected to be tried in a few weeks.
In his complaint, William Servis
charged Charles Servis with paying out
large sums of money from the estate
on property. and that these sums COLI
stituted most of the defendants in
heritance. The plaintiff declared he
had the receipts showing these pay
ments and alleges that his brother tried
to secure these receipts when he as
saultd Mrs. Servis.

with Sympathy

Mrs. Alice W.. Fulwider was granted

David 70. Fulwider, a law student, by
Judge Monroe of the superior court
yesterday on the ground of cruelty and
non-support. She declared her hus-
band would not let either her or their
children live with him, and that he
said 'living with her was h. on earth
to him." The plaintiff was awarded $50
a month for the support of the children
and their custody.
Alice A. williams was granted an
interlocutory decree of divorce from
John A. e. Williamson by Judge Mon

mer. She was awarded the custody of
their child and $15 a month for It's

We PURCHASE
4 'sQUEEGEE' MACHINES
4-z.a.
We've Got the Money to Buy Be-
cause Inspector Humphreys
Has Saved $4,000

With eighty miles of streets paved
with asphalt and more coming, the
problem of keeping them clean at
minimum cost is one that w. M. Hum
phreys, chief inspector of public
works, finds difficult to work out He
believes he has partially hit a solution,
and yesterday asked the board of pub
lie works to get authority from the city
council to purchase four "squeegee"
machines.
These machines use one-third less
water than the street flushers in use on
the streets now, although they are not
as satisfactory. The saving In water
is an item that Mr.. Humphreys be-
lieves worth considering. Three of the
"squeegee" machines are offered to the
city by the manufacturers for $4,000,
and another the board expects to pur-
chase from Santa Barbara for $1,000.
Santa Barbara has tried the machine
and discarded it. but this is not con-
sidered fair criterion of its efficiency.
as that town has also discarded a
street flusher of the type so success
fully used in Los Angeles. Mr.. Hum
phreys says that one machine cannot
be used alone with good results, but
that two must work together. That is
the reason Santa Barbara has had such
poor results from her experiment.
1t Is the intention OF the Doard 10
have the machine at Santa Barbara
demonstrated at that place and then
brought to Los Angeles for a demon
stration. If it proves able to do what
is claimed for IL the four machines
will be purchased.
This expenditure can be incurred
without asking the council for dollar.
for the wise management and careful
economy of Mr.. Humphreys has result
ed in a surplus of more than $4,000 in
the street department fund, something
that never happened under former ad
ministrations.

SUES WIFE AND POLICEMAN
BECAUSE OF IMPRISONMENT

PENDANTS in an action for $4,000 dam
ages filed in the superior court yester--
day by Cyrus ]. Crabb for alleged
malicious arrest on the charge of dis
turbing the peace.
The plaintiff declares that Nellie
Crabb, on April 25, wrongfully and
without cause accused him of disturb
ing the peace and called in Policeman
Steiner to arrest him. He declares the
latter, without warrant, badge or
insignia of office, arrested him and
turned him over to two policemen, who
locked him up in the city Jail, where
he remained for seven days without
hearing.
Finally he was brought before po-
lice Judge and, after the testimony of
the prosecutions witnesses had been
heard. he was discharged. Because of
the disgrace of Imprisonment and al
legged malicious arrest he asks the

ART COMMISSION ASKS
COUNCIL FOR RECOGNITION
Members Seek to Be Considered
on Park Improvements

The municipal art commission has
Joined forces with the city council in
its effort to stop the water commission
from constructing its proposed building
at Fifth and Olive streets. The art
commission yesterday sent resolutions
to the council in which it protests
against the building because 1t does not
conform to the idea of a civic center
such as has been outlined by Charles
Mulford Robinson.
While in a protesting mood this
commission also objected to the pro-
posed plan of constructing bridge
over the Arroyo Seco at Avenue 43 and
using the material of the old Main
street bridge. The art commission
points out tina this place will be the
gateway for the Arroyo Seco park, and
it does not want it marred by an in
different bridge.
The commission also protested against
the erection of fountains. monuments
and other features in the city parks
without taking 1t into consultation.

REFERENDUM PETITION is
SHORT MANY SIGNATURES
City Clerk LeIande Rules Out
Seventy-three Sections

City Clerk Lelande yesterday re-
ported to the council that the petition
invoking the referendum for the ordi-
nance abolishing the positions of five
watchmen in the city parks was insult
ficient, as the signatures of only 29S
qualified voters were found. whereas
the referendum requires 2612. This
small number of signatures was due
to the fact that only nine sections of
the petition were valid.
Circulators of the petition demanded
of the city clerk yesterday morning
that they be allowed to validate the
seventy-three sections that had been
thrown out, but they were refused.
Under the charter the petitioners have
ten days to amend, but that means
they must secure 2314 signatures in ten
days, and this is considered almost
too difficult a task.
