Most Careful Operator Cannot Prevent
 It Under Some Conditions.
 Automobile smoke nuisance was dis cussed by William H. Stewart, Jr., last week in the Stewart Automobile Acad- emy, New York. The subject was ex- haustively covered by MT. Stewart, who said in part:
 ''The most careful operator cannot prevent his engine smoking under cer- tain conditions. In fact an engine should smoke slightly when accellarat- ed in order to be in safe and healthy condition.
 "The automobile gas engine is a very flexible piece of machinery, and while being operated upon the streets changes it's revolutions per minute constantly. To maintain a uniform oil feed under such varying conditions, and also prevent slight smoking is diff ficult.
 If an operator cuts down the oil to a minimum, he Is constantly in danger of damaging his engine If the igni- tion fails to produce the spark, or the carburetor fails to give the proper mixture. the engine will of necessity stop without damage, other than de- lay.
 The symptoms of trouble in both cases mentioned are plain and quite
 
 however, must be kept in perfect order or the engine may be ruined. Very few drivers are capable of judging when the engine needs oil. When symptoms develop from lack of oil, the damage is quite often already done.
 "A cylinder or bearing may be scored, in fact the whole engine may be rendered useless, and slight smoke from the exhaust ought to pass unnoticed. New cars from the sales room floor, or those fresh from the repair shop must have a surplus of oil until the bearings are properly worn home.
 NO sensible operator wants his mo- tor to smoke more than necessary, as excessive smoke means too much oil, and this in turn means a foul engine, which finally puts the whole mechan- ism out of order"

 Something new in star boarders was disclosed to the police today by John w. Angle, keeper of a boarding house at 2S John street.
 The new boarder appeared a few days ago. Yesterday he complained to MT. Angle that he had left his suit case with all his belongings in his room and that the suit case had dis appeared while he was out looking at the railroad wreck.
 When the police investigated, they found it true that the suit case was gone So was it's owner. So were several watches, stick pins and valu- ab1es belonging to other inmates of the house. Inquiry was made at the Public Market, where the man claim ed to have worked. It was found that he had worked there a few, days. taken his pay and left, saying that he was called out of town by the death of his aunt.

FOR CARRYING A GUN

A fellow from Salida. Z. C. Withrow
by name, made business lively in court
circles last Tuesday by wrestling his
two year old baby girl from the arms
of his wife and then holding the wife
back at the point of revolver, beating
it for the Rio Grande station where he
attempted to board No. 4 with the
child.
He was arrested by Undersheritf
Malaby and taken before Justice White
where he was fined $25 and sentenced
to Jail with the understanding that the
sentence would be suspended if he
would get out of town and cause no
further trouble.
The baby was restored to the mother
and Withrow vanished as per request,
but it is stated that the trouble is only
well begun and it is limited that the
woman has passed as the wife of an
other man who claims Glenwood as his
home.

PAT QU1NLAN DROWNED

News reached Glenwood Wednesday
that Pat Quinlan who has for some
time been working for the Rio Grande
Railroad company as flagman at
Minturn, had been drowned in the
Eagle river, almost in sight of the
men with whom he had been working.
No definite information could be OBJ
tanned except that he had been seen
going toward the river, presumably to
get drink. When he was wanted he
could not be found and workmen
traced him to the river where they
found his flag lying by large hole in
the ice.
Mrs. Quinlan, who lives on little
ranch just below Glenwood, went to
Minturn Thursday and while she was
there the body was discovered in the
river Quinlan was subject to epilepsy
and it is thought that as he attempted
to get drink he suffered one of these
attacks and fell into the river. No
arrangements for the funeral have yet
been announced.

WESTERN SLOPE
WANTS CONGRESSMAN

Grand Junction. Jan. 16.-A move
ment has been started by the Mesa
County Business association to secure
for the western slope congressional
district which will in no way be united
with the eastern slope. Under the last
census a rearranement of the congress
sional districts has become necessary
which will abolish the Office of con
gresham at large. The eastern slope
will secure three representatives in the
lower house of congress-one to Den
yer and surrounding counties, one to
Pueblo and Colorado Springs and one
from northern Colorado. The western
slope should logically be entitled to a
district all it's own.
Recently Governor Shafroth ex-
pressed himself as heartily in favor of
such division. and with his co-opera-
ton the association anticipates little
difficulty in securing this rearrange-

NOT SMOOTH SAILING FOR VETS

An effort will be made to put Mont
rose in the wet column at the spring
election and already a committee OF
boozers is at work soliciting funds
with that aim in view. The movement
is backed by the wholesale liquor deal
ers and wouldbe saloon keepers who
by their very participation in the
affair give the lie to their oft repeated
and threadbare statements that "Pro-
hibition doesn't prohibit" and
"Theres more liquor sold in dry than
in wet territory"
Of course, if they believed their own
story they would be glad to leave
Montrose in her present condition. But
they don't believe these statements.
In fact, they KNOW they are not true.
And besides they don't particularly
relish the thought of the Jail sentences

their lawbreaking lackeys over there

CASE SET FOR TRIAL

The case of the People VS.. J. w.
Scoggin was brought up for hearing in
the county court last Tuesday and Scog-
gin was arraigned on charge or assault
and battery, Rev. Lew l.. Thomas of
Grand Valley being the complaining
witness.
Cliff G. Rowe said he appeared as
special district attorney, but Judge
Noonan, Scoggin's attorney, claimed
there was no such official recognized by
the statutes and moved to quash the in
formation. Judge Smith, however, sus-
tanned Rowe in his right to appear for
the district attorney and then Judge
Noonan sought to quash on the showing
that his client had already been in
jeopardy on this otfense, referring to his
plea of guilty before Justice White and
the payment of fine of S. for assault
ing Mr.. Thomas. This was overruleI
by Judge Smith and the lawyers set
about to agree on date for trial.
After some sparring in this respect,
Feb. was fixed upon as the date for
the hearing.
This is the outcome of the assault by
Scoggin upon Mr. Thomas some time
ago, reference to which was made in the
Post last week. Mr.. Thomas claims
that the Post account does him an injus-
tce in that it refers to him AS an ex-
Methodist preacher, whereas he is now
a Methodist preacher in good standing
in the Colorado conference.
Mr.. Thomas also resents the state
ment that he has been in the habit Of
making uneompimsntary xemarks ahoaEi
Mr.. Scoggin upon the streets of Grand
Valley and has called the Post s atten-
tion to few other unimportant fea-
lures in the Post s article wherein he
says this paper was mistaken or misin-
formed as to the facts.
1t may be said right here that the
Posts information upon which the arti-
Gle was founded was not obtained from
Mr.. Scoggin but from what was though.

was printed without any desire or in
tention to reflect in any unfair manner
whatever upon either of the parties to

A GLENWooD INVENTOR

A. l.. Gourley, who has been employed
the past two years by Mortician w. H.
Farnum, is an inventor of no mean
ability and he has given much time
and thought to inventions that simplify
man s labors or prove of value to him
on a dollars and cents basis. One of
his successful inventions is an electric
frost danger signal or alarm whereby
the farmer and fruit grower when the
temperature approaches the danger
point at night is routed out of bed by
the automatic ringing of gong in
his house and given time to start his
smudge pots and thus save his crop
He has also made several improve
ments on type writers, one of the most
recent of these being ribbon stop by
which the ribbon remains stationary
Notwithstanding the operation of the
carriage release. Another is a brake
or retarder to the carriage when opera
ed by the tabulating keys and still
'ho'h'i - " ueNieo "hich gives ho'ice
of the approach of the end of the paper
from five to eight lines before the end
is reached and therefore enables the
operator to govern himself accordingly
These devices have been very favora-
bly, passed upon by typewriter people
and Mr., Gourley's friends believe he
will some day receive proper fnancial
rccompense for the inventive thought
and work he has devoted to them.

SHERIFF JESSUP
PUTS ON THE LID
Declares That G|enwood Has Been Too
Long Favored-..0 Orders All Saloons

POPULAR APPROVAL OF ACTION

as popular as will this one
When it was reported about town
Tuesday afternoon that the sheriff had
made this order Post representative
set ont to verify the rumor and meet
ing Mr.. Jcssup at once asked him
How about that report that you visit
ed the saloons this morning and de
manded that all should obey the law?

all the boys Glenwood had been favor

elbow did they take your suggcs-
tion?' was the next question the re-
porter asked. Very nicely said the
sheriff. ''ln fact, with one exception
L could not ask for better treatment
L explained to the fellows that there
was no malice or feeling in the matter
and that I had no desire to put them
to any expense or to cause them any
trouble but that | had duty to PEI
form under the law and that / intended
to do that duty to the full extent of

and that no one could blame me for
it while some of them said they were
glad | made the order for they felt
that I was doing them favor. They
said they had just gone through an
unpleasant experience in the district
court and they knew they ought not
to be keeping their places upen con
trarv to law and that they were doing
so only because some of the fellows
refused to close. They said this order
would now put all on an equal basis
and that it was good thing. 1t
seemed to be plain to all that this is
no bluff and all promised to obey the
law strictly in the future and l anti
cipate no trouble. If there should be
anv trouble it will be because the men
bring it on themselves. They cannot
say they have not had fair warning
and a square deal y
With this explanation Sheriff Jessu2
declined to discuss the matter further
except to say that as he looked at 4
there was nothing left for him to do
He says as sheriff of the whole county
he cannot in justice to his oath and his
own self respect allow the saloon men
of Glenwood to violate the laws while
men in the same business in other por-
tions of the county observe those same
laws.
After some considerable inquiry the
Post has yet to find a citizen. either
democrat or republican, who criticises
Mr. Jessup for his action. On the other
hand many men and women of both
parties were loud in their praise of the
sheriff for the stand he has taken and
declared they would uphold and en-
courage him in every way possible in
the enforcement of the law.
