mans clubs met in semi-annual ses-
sion at Rifle last Saturday and was en-
tertained in splendid fashion by the
Rifle Reading club.
Mrs. J. w. Zimmerman of Carbonate
president of the TriCounty Federation,
presided over the business session
which was very interesting. Reports
from the various clubs on the scholar
ship fund were received and it was
found that several of the clubs have
already started this fund. Others
promised to report on this subject at
the next federation meeting.
The banquet by the Rifle club was q
brilliant success. The color scheme was
carried out in the decorations, both
of the hall and the menu card.
Mrs. Howard of Rifle presided as
toastmistress in a very clever manner.
Mrs. Siprelle of Grand Valley present

Power of Planting and Sowing" Mrs.
Napier spoke on civic improvement. A.
paper by Mrs. Beale, the club poet,

and all congratulated Rifle upon the
success of their entertainment. The
next meeting will be held in Grand

A HALLOWEEN ACCIDENT

AS result of the pranks of Hallow
e'en revelers Mrs. J. w. johnson re
ceived serious injuries from which she
is still confined to her bed. While on
her way to the Glenwood sanitarium
Mrs. johnson, at the corner of Tenth
and Blake, tripped on wire stretched
across the pavement about six inches
from the surface.
Mrs. johnson was walking at brisk
gait and went with great force against
the invisible obstruction. She was
hurled to the cement pavement, strik
ing on her forehead and face in such
a way as to almost fracture the skull.
In addition to two black eyes, badly
bruised nose and lacerated forehead,
Mrs. Johnson's ankles were cut by the
unexpected contact with the wire.
The sufferer was at once taken to the
home of her son, W. H. johnson, on
Eighth street, where she is receiving
every possible care. A physician was
called who dressed her wounds and she
is now recovering nicely although yet
feeling quite sore from the severe
shaking up.

NOONAN Wins
FROM RIO GRANDE
Jury Holds That Railroad
Should Pay $525 Per Acre
For Six Acres For
R0undhouse
BOTH ARE DISSATISFIED

Some one has said that both sides
are losers when it comes to a case in
court and it all depenns on the point
of view as to which was the winner
and which the loser in the condemua-
tion case which tie Rio Grande Rail
road company brought against John L..
Noonan for six res of land adjoining
the Glenwood tnNnslte, upon which
they Lave just completed a round
house and turntab!e
After the verdict it was generally
passed about the streets that Judge
Noonan had won his case. but Noonau
does not look at it in that light and
declares the land as gravel bed alone
is worth far in excess of the amount
the jury awarded him He did not
want to sell the land at all and saws
If it had been for sale nothing less
than $1,000 per acres would have been
considered. Rather than have litiga-
tion over it. however, he offered to
take $500 per acre for the six acres re
qured by the railroad and they offered
him $3.50 per acre and. the jury did the
rest. They fixed the value at 1925 per
acre or $3.50 for the tract
Neither side appeared to be satisfied
with the verdict and both asked for
five days in which TO appeal Mr.
Noonan, however, has not filed an ap-
peal, saying he realized that the com
pany, under the statute, could take the
land and he could only collect the value
which this or some other jury would
place upon it. The company has also
shown its acquiescence in the verdict
of the jury by this week paving into
the court for Judge Noonan.s benefit
the balance of the purchase price,
$1,000 having been deposited with the
court before the suit was brought.

THE DISTRICT COURT

In the district court this week Judge
Shumate heard the case of Ed Wolf
against Mr.. and Mrs. R. c. Callen and
granted judgment against the Callens
on note for $500 without interest,
holding that the note operated simply
as bond. This was peculiar case
and grew out of an agreement that
Callen should relinquish his rights IN
desert entry in Grand county for
5000 which Wolff paid, but did not
demand the land Callen gave Wolff
his note for 5000 to bind his share of
the bargain ana was always ready to
assign the land but Wolff had used his
right and could not file on the land and
did not furnish anyone else to do 80,
but later demanded payment on the
note which Callen refused.
In the case of Anthony Isch versus
r.. o. Gardner for damage to growing
crops by depriving plaintiff of water
for irrigation, the demand for damages
was denied, but the plaintiff was grant
ed injunctive relief. and both sides
Were made to pay their costs.

UNION TRADING COMPANY
IN TROUBLE

The expected has happened The I'm
ion Trading company, which some peo-
pie are foolish enough to believe is a
farmers institution, but which in re
porated and has ever since been domi
mated by a couple of smooth sharks in
Pueblo who have never given and have
never intended to give the farmers a
lookin beyond the barren privilege Of
thinking they are some shucks while
the Pueblo 51-per-cent end of the aggre

the keys of their Rifle store to Sheriff
Jessup. After some parleying the sher
if allowed them to open the store and
continue business, but he is still in
possession of their warehouses and
some collateral security which viii be
held for the benefit of creditors.
The Rife Telegram, after referring
to some of the extravagant claims held
out by the smoothies to induce the
farmers to separate themselves from
their money on stock subscriptions to
the concern. very truthfully says:
There is not person in Rife who
ers of the Union Trading company lose
one dollar, but ism t it about time that
the situation and the facts in the case
be considered from common sense
standpoint? Optimism is all right in
its way, but serious financial condi-
tion confronts men with the earnings
of years tied up in this financial ven
ture, and such statements as appeared
in the Glenwood Avalanche of Wednes.
day making it appear that everything
will soon be O. X in the company $
affairs, should be considered in the
same light as the source from which it
comes. The Avalanche did its share
in foisting a 10o-per cent profits sharing
scheme upon the public, with its at
tendant losses, and to be guided fur
ther by such misleading and oily rot
would be the acme of foolishness The
farmers should have an inning in which
their brains should figure as well as
their cash, and when they combine, the
two will part company for all time to
come with the Schencks and the riffraff
of the promoting 100 per cent promise

Local Boys Play Splendid
Game But Defeated z to
0..-kom is Put to
the Bad
BRILLIANT RECEPTION

In what was decidedly the most in
eresting game engaged in this season
on the western slope the local football
team was defeated last Says11ay on
the home grounds by score OF 2 to 0.
Although the game was pronounced
fair and clean from start to finish, it
gave the appearance to the spectators
! pf being very rough as it really was
md the frequent calls for "time out'
to give some unfortunate player
chance to recover from an injury re-
ceived in the strenuous struggle caused
many of the onlookers to criticise tbe
game as "too barbaric for white
tolks,' but this did not prevent them
from sending up lusty cheers at every
little advantage gained or clever play
made by their favorite team.
Both teams kept their heads and
played fast ball and when at the end
|lpf the first half the score stood moth.
ing to nothing all realized that the
teams were very evenly matched and
that it was "anybody's game.' In
the first period of the second half
Leadville gained two points on "safa-
Gty,' putting the score 2 to 0 in favor
VI the visitors and here it remained.
lin this quarter Walter Korn sustained
baday sprained ankle and was put out
lTIf commission, and Arnold Maupin at
,nce got into the breach and but little
time was lost During the game Trim
Pble and Heisler of the locals and a
couple of the Leadville boys received
Fslight injuries, but their disability
was only temporary.
The boys were well matched and
lthey all played the game hard. The
|Glenwoods fumbled the ball and Lead
willie got their two points by a safety
and not by hard playing, although they
played well and there was less alterca-
tion and quibbling than in most anna
teur games. and at the end the splcn-
|did spirit manifested as the two clubs
Gave their yells was refresh'r ard as
tia "What's he Natter Will, Lead
Lville?" and "What's the Matter With
fGlenwood?' rolled out the crowd cheer
i I'D at the spirit of good fellowship.
In the evening the local team and
other students and teachers gave a re-
ception and dance at the "gym" to
the winning team and to the visiting
teachers who had attended the teach
ers' association during the day.
The affair partook of the nature of
kharvest festival and reflected great
|Scredit upon the committee having the
arrangements in charge. The stage
was cSYered with autumn leaves, while
corn Nbdder, pumpkin vines, jack-o'
lanterns and black cats were scattered
|promiscuously around the room, togeth-
er with the root beer and doughnuts
served in liberal fashion and the occa-
sional difused lights gave wierd and
goopy' effect and made it particu-
larly appropriate affair, considering tiio
date.
The Glenwood school folks certainly
made great effort to show their visitors
a good time and they have the word
in vain.
The Glenwood post., 1911-11-04

entirely up to the homesteader as no
restriction whatever is placed upon
him by the forest service.
Since the creation of the Holy Cross
national forest which includes practi-
cally all the national forest land in
Eagle county, almost 5000 acres of
land have been restored to entry upon
the application of prospective home.
| steaders A great part of this land
consists of small fertile tracts scatter
ed among the hills.
Mining within the forest is as free
and unrestricted as outside. Prospect
ing and the development of mineral
lands are invited. Not one prospector
or claimant who has complied with the
mining laws has had occasion to com
plain of the policies of the forest ser
vice. Undoubtedly there has been oc-
casional complaint made, but if the
matter were sifted down it would be
found that the complainant is one who
is attempting to secure patent without
complying with the mining laws. If
in any case unjust treatment has been
received from the forest service, it was
given by an unprincipled employee
and such are to be found in all depart
ments and lines of work, not under the
forest service policies.
As to the mining situation, we found
that more mining is being done today
in Red Cliff and its immediate camps,
at Cross Creek near Minturn, in the
Lake Creek mines, and in the vicinity
of Gypsum, than has been done at any
time for years, including the years just
prior to the time that national forest
was first set apart. Red Cliffs payroll
alone runs from $4,000 to $4,000 and
100000 per month ,and every company
that is operating is an aggregation of
square methods business men, abso
lutely removed from every suspicion of
wildcat mining operations.
1t is true that there are thousands
of acres of land in Eagle county that
could be homesteaded, but this land IS
not kept back from settlement by any
national forest restrictions, but rather
because no one individual is financially
able to go to the expense that would
necessarily be involved in order to put
water on this land.
TOInu how ir 4h.o rrol1a1y louc
than three irrigation projects that will
supply water for these thousands Of
acres. Whenever water for this land
is assured and available probably it
will not take ninety days before it will
be all filed on, so valuable and produc.
tive is Eagle county land. We fear our
neighbor in Glenwood is not proclaim
ing broad minded policy when he
states that the federal government
makes it hardship for homesteader
to locate in this country. Numbers of
well to do farmers and stockmen in this
county have secured their ranches this
way, and are mighty well off in this
worlds goods besides.
The policy of the present admins
tration as outlined by President Taft
as regards conservation was printed in
last weeks Blade and is replete with
honesty of purpose and absolutely free
from anything that could be termed un.
statesmanlike.
The truth, the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth, Brother Holmes, ls
all Eagle county asks of its industries
and opportunities for settlement. And
BOOST for this whole western slope
even though We differ in politics.
