measure, even from some of those
members who, from political faith are
bound to vote against it, the house ac-
cepted the report by a viva voce vote.
Democrat and republicans alike for
ten minutes cheered Representative
James r. Mann, for standing up for
the house provisions and bringing
out of the conference a bill "better

Aviator Killed in Denver

Ralph Johnstone, holder of the
worlds altitude record, was killed
during an exhibition flight at Over
land park, Denver, last Thursday af-
ternoon. The famous spiral Dip
had crumpled the plane of his ma
chine, causing it to crash to the
ground, eight hundred feet below:
The aviator was literally crushed to
pulp. He fell into Delaware street,
outside OF the grounds. The news of
Johnstone's death was broken to his
wife In New York by telegram. She
collapsed in the hotel corridor. The
body was taken to Kansas City, John

The Thanksgiving Games

All of Meeker assembled in the park
Thanksgiving afternoon and cheered
on to heart-breaking endeavors the
grammar and high school foot ball
and basket ball teams. Both games
were well played and the teams were
pretty evenly matched.
The basket ball game was the first
one called, and despite the fact that
the players were somewhat nervous
they played with remarkably few er-
rors. Many pretty pretty individual
plays were made, but the low scores
OF both sides were the result of good
team work. The grades were weak
on basket-throwing, which in a large
measure lost them the game.
The game WAS won by the high
school team by score Of Z to2.
The lineup follows:
High school-Captain, Hazel Clark,
running center; Dorothy Smith, sta
tionary center; Myrtle Peltier, sta
tionary center; Marguerite Shaver,
Leona Wildhack, Florence Shaver,
guards; Fern Spence, Mary Davis
forwards.
Grades-Captain, Anna Critchiow,
running center; Jennie Brown, sta
tionary center; Marselle Montgom-
cry, stationary center; Myrtle Kyle
Olive Chaplin, guards; Elio Harris
Frances Ellison, forwards.
Immediately after the basket ball
match the young grid-iron gladiators
got busy and fought to a finish tie
game. In the beginning OF the first
half Wright Ball had the wind knock
ed out of him, but was speedily re-
vived by DIR. French.
The two teams were of almost ider-
ticaIly the same strength, with, per-
haps, y little advantage on the side
Of the graders. However, the high

TO shipping points, and with all the

Rio Blanco county, is an up-to-date

Meeker is a network of telephone
wires giving communication with the
valley metropolis. And the people
boast that they have not a pauper

lily mined, that will furnish work for

has metamorphosed into stock con-

The people have learned that hui

entrusted to make laws, is not only
weak but wicked, 30 they propose to
relieve the lawmakers from tempta-

The lawmakers at Washington are
very careful to occasionally hand out
to the people tidbit, evidently a
sort of soothing syrup, which amounts
to little or nothing-like the 32O-acre
homestead.
The last great spasm was the con-
