INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT
FUND Is BUSTED

The internal improvement fund can
not be touched to pay the road bills
that were passed by the last legislatuIe e
without that body specifying where the
money to meet the appropriation is to
come from.
This is the substance of the opinion
that Attorney General Ben Griffith
will render to State Treasurer Roady
kennehan in reply to letter Kenne-
han wrote asking if he could use the
internal Improvement funds to pay five
road bills the governor failed to veto,
carrying appropriations totaling $4s,-
900, which if paid would give the state
highway commission funds with which
to continue road work until the tangte
surrounding House BIZ 200 could be un-
raveled.
The bills in question were all passed
without stating what fund the money
to meet them was to come from.
From moneys not otherwise appro-
priated, is the language of the meas
nre. Kennehan thought that there was
hope owing to this phrase. but Griffit h
can t see it that way.
The general language as ] under
stand it, means the money was to come
from the general funds and | think tn,
legislature so intended" Griffith says.
'All bills have more or less general
language of this sort and / am firmly
of the view that only where the law so
directs, may the internal Improvement
funds be used for paying appropriations
for roads,
Treasurer Kenehan is downhearteli
over the prospect.
1T looks as if the fates were
against the road builders he said
Yesterday. 81 hoped the attorney gen
eral could see his way clear to allow
the money. / wanted to pay out of the
Internal Improvement funds. That
would give the highway commission a
chance to continue the work and in the
meantime maybe the tangle on the
House Bill 200 would be straightened
out, but we will find some way out of
the woods.'

EASTERN STARS
own THE TOWN
Splendid Session Of Grand
Chapter Here This Week
All Report Jolly Time
GO TO PUEBLO next

That Glenwood Springs is an ideal
place for conventions, grand lodge ses-
sions and other public gatherings has
been repeatedly demonstrated, but no
organization more forcibly emphasized
this fact than the Eastern Stars who
have just met in Glenwod in their an
nual grand chapter.
The session was one of extraordinary
interest throughout and this interest
was intensified by the beautiful sur
roundings which are a delight to all
Glenwood visitors. Throughout the
town there have been nothing but ex-
pressions Of delight that Glenwood was
chosen as the meeting place this year.
The local chapter fairly outdid them
selves in their preparations and in an
ticipating and providing for the wants
of the visiting delegates and they were
complimented very highly upon the sue
cess they made of the affair.
Mrs. Alice Miller, most worthy grand
matron, of FL Reno, Okla, was the
guest of honor at the session and she,
Ike all the others was profuse in her
appreciation of Glenwood s hospitality,
the baths, the climate and the beauti-
fu scenic setting which she found IN
this beauty spot in the mountains.
The exemplification of the work as
given by the local chapter Wednesday
evening was greatly appreciated ami
highly complimented by the visitors.
Erica Chapter had been by spec al
dispensation transferred to the bail
room of the Hotel Colorado and there
all the sessions were held. The room
had been beautifully decorated bv the
local committee.
Thursday election of officers and IN.
stallation was held and several reso-
lntions passed recommending changes
in the laws of the order. Pueblo was
selected as the next meeting place, at
ter vote of thanks to Glenwood for
the many courtesies extended. The
event was Drought to close by pub
lie reception and bah at the Colorado

Higgins of Denver.

At meeting of the county commits
sioner last Tuesday, F. E. Sweet OF
Carbondale, E. Mclean of Rifle and
Harry Koch of Grand Valley appeared
before the board and asked a little f.
nancial assistance in behalf of the
three exhibits to be made in Garfield
county, Fruit Day at Grand Valley,
Apple Pie Day at Rifle and Potato Day
at Carbondale. The board had prevI-
ously appropriated the limit for adver-
t.sing purposes, but recognizing the
value of these local fairs in the way of
stimulating interest in the farmers and
encouraging better production, they
finally agreed that if the appropriation
made some time ago had not all been
used, the gentlemen might have not to
exceed $500 to be divided equally
among the three fairs. 1t is believed
that there 10 that much unused in this

PLENTY OF GAME, SAYS sH1NN

Colorado as big game hunters par
adise is coming back into her own, ac-
cOrding to Colonel James H. Shinn,
state game and fish commissioner.
"There are more deer in the hills
now than there have been for years, -
said Shinn yesterday. From the num-
ber of applicants for hunting licences

among the nimreds when the season
opens for deer on the first of the
month.

the supposed wedding of Mrs. E

GRAND MASTER VISITS
LOCAL I. o. O. F, LODGE

DR.. G. D. Cummings, grand master
of the Independent Order of Odd Eel
lows for Colorado, on Monday evening
made an official visit to Glenwood
Lodge No. 6s and the occasion was
greatly enjoyed by the members of the
local lodge.
After the regular lodge business had
been transacted a recess was taken in
order that the grand master might per
sonally meet all of the members. After
the intermission the time was taken up
with a very interesting address by the
grand master and remarks by number
of the members. Following this re
freshments were served.
DIR. Cummings is a practicing phys-
elan and the plan of official visitation
which he has outlined for the year
keeps him very busy and involves con
siderable financial sacrifice as he ex-
poets to visit before the close of his
term about s5 lodges, scattered over
various portions of the jurisdiction.
Dr. Cummings expressed himself as
highly pleased with his visit to the
Glenwood lodge and with the progress
that is being made this year through
out the jurisdiction. He is not a stran-
ger to Glenwood, having made frequent
visits here during the past few years.

BOOZE and CANDY
MAKE BAD MIX
Confectionery Salesman and
Local Men Play Havoc With
Plate Glass Windows
POORER But wIsER R

That booze and candy do not mix
to advantage is the firm conviction of
Albert T. Hart who represents whole
sale candy house and makes regular
trips to Glenwood for the purpose of
convincing our merchants of the su
periority of the sweets manufactured
and put on the market by his house.
Feeling a little lonely Wednesday
evening Hart found his way to the
Woodmen masque ball for little re-
creation and pastime, but not until he
had become quite familiar with the cup
that cheers. At the dance he was quite
frisky, and to use plain English, made
a fool of himself to such an extent that
people with but a rudimentary knowi-
edge of etiquette and civiity wondered
why he was not elected from the hall.
Hart, however, was not the only one
at the ball in semi-soused condition,
according to the testimony of witnesses
who were present. Ben Shearer and
Dave Thomas had also partaken too
freely of the convivial bowl and were
both look ng for trouble which they
succeeded in finding before the evening
was over.
Hart had a few words with Charley
Hughes on the floor of the ballroom
and after leaving the ballroom mixed
with Shearer just in front of the Thor
son building occupied ny Bryants candy
store, with the result shat two plate
glass windows in said store were com
pletely demolished.
There is some difference of opinion
as to Just which of the fellows went
through the glass panes and which was
the propelling power to force him
through, but it is thought by some that
they "took turn about and each one
gave the other fellow a turn at the
sport.
Anyway the whole matter was thresh-
Thursday afternoon and after cons,d-
erable evidence had been offered Judge
Rice very properly found Hart, Shearer
and Thomas all guilty of fracturing the
peace as well as the plate glass AMI
assessed a fine of $25 and costs against
each of the beligerents. In addition to
this expense they will also pay Ollie
Thorson matter of about 800 for re-
placing the plate glass.
1t is said that Shearer and Thomas
belong to crowd of Glenwood young
fellows who are in the habit of attend
ing public dances when in a rather un-
steady condition. 1t is hoped that the
Rec treatment will prove salutary, not
only to these young men, but to some
of Their associates of the same stripe
who fortunately escaped this time.

The town council met in an adjourn

from $40 per arc light per month for

after for the next five years.
The trustees considered that Mr.,
King made the better bid although spec
tators present were surprised that NJ.
King did not make his bid half what he
did, as they say he might as well have
done it, considering that he was not
