GOOD ROADS
MEET CALLED OFF
G|enwood to Salt Lake via
Grand Junction Agreed to
as Official Route
NO CONFLICT Whatever

The good roads meeting which was
to have been held jointly by Colorado .
and Utah highway enthusiasts at Grand
Junction next Thursday and Friday,
May 2 and has been called off so far
as the joint conference is concerned,
since the object for which it was called
seems to have already been accomplish
ed. The meeting was more than any
thing else for the purpose of convinc-
ing the Utah neighbors that the official
transcontinental route should follow
the line of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad from Leadville to Salt Lake.
1t is said that the meeting at Salt
Lake resulted in an agreement by the
Mormons on the line which should be
followed, hence the Grand Junction
meeting, while not exactly abandoned,
will prove very tame affair.
The Grand Junction Sentinel, in com
menting on the matter, has the follow
ing to say:
The Colorado Utah Good Roads con
ference will probably never be held.
The purposes of the big convention
which was to have been held in this
city have already been realized by the
trip of the delegation of good roads
men to Salt Lake City, leaving the
proposed meeting a meaningless, use
less and purposeless gathering.
The fact that this city has cinched
the transceutinental highway to run
along the line of the Rio Grande
through this city will cut down the
number of attending delegates some
what and will leave the two days
meeting with nothing to do but com
pliment themselves on the beauty of
the weather and the excellence of their
prosperity.
1t will, of course, be matter of
some regret to local people who had
hoped to meet Governor Shafroth, Gov
ernor Spry and other notables here
and to join the state in union OF
mutual helpfulness toward the realiza-
tion of a better highway system. 1t is
believed to be best, however, by those
who are in closest touch with the situa-
tion to call the meeting off.
Just where the next meeting of the
Holy Cross division of the Denver
Grand Junction road will meet is not
certain. 1t was to have met in con
junction with the big meeting here.
On May 4, which was to have been
the day following the local convention,
Governor Shafroth and others will par
ticipate in the formal opening of the
Wilcox canal at Grand Valley and
Rifle. This will be a gala occasion,
and will be attended by people from
all parts of the state. Local people
will attend the celebration in considera

TEACHERS INSTITUTE
HELD HERE IN JUNE

Mrs. Westerman, our county superin-
tendent of schools, is now able to au-
nounce that the date of holding the
teachers institute for the Thirteenth
Normal Institute district will be held
in Glenwood Springs June 10 to 81.
This is much earlier than the institute
is usually held in this district-in fact
the date heretofore has often been N
August
This is a splendid training school for
young teachers and by reason of this
training the schools receive great bene-
fit though in an indirect way. In CO.
operation with the institute committee
Mrs. Westerman is making every effort
possible to make the institute success.
Prof. J. H. Allen, superintendent of
the Grand Junction city schools, has
been employed as conductor Miss
Leake of New York and Mr.. w. S.
Stoddard of the Glenwood schools will
be the instructors. Besides it is the
hope of the committee to secure some
special instructors and lecturers, but
these cannot be announced definitely
at this time beyond the fact that Mrs
Helen M. Wilson, state superintendent
of public instruction, has signified her
intention to make the institute visit

WAS MRS DUNN TITANIC VICTIM?

1t is reported in this part of the
country that Mrs. Julia Dunn of Red
Cliff, well known in Garfield and Eagle
counties as mining woman who has
had quite an extensive experience in
promoting Colorado mining properties,
was probably victim of the awful
Titanic disaster last week.
Concerning the matter Wednesday IS
Grand Junction Sentinel prints the
following:
Was Mrs. Julia A. Dunn, mother of
Mrs. Ralph H. Northrup of this city, a
passenger on the Titanic, the ill-fated
White Star steamer, and did she sur
vive the horror of an ocean grave?
These are the questions Mrs. Northrup
is trying to answer. On Monday,
April 8, Mrs. Northrup received cable
from her mother that she was about to
leave Liverpool for America. She went
to England on White Star steamer
and probably would have chosen the
same line for her return journey.
The ill-fated Titanic left on Wednes-
day, April 10, for America and early
Monday morning met its doom, sink
ing with 1885 passengers.
No word has yet been received from
Mrs. Dunn, who would have wired her
daughter Immediately on her arriva.
here. The gravest fears held by her
daughter is that she became i'll during
the terrible scenes of the rescue and
has been unable to make herself known
to those who are caring for the i'll and
injured.
Mrs. Dunn has been actively engaged
in the mining business in western Colo
RADIO for several years. Her operations
have been very successful in the Red
Cliff and Ouray districts, where she
owns large and valuable properties. She
has been in Europe interesting capital
in some of her enterprises.
Hope is being held out by friends
that Mrs. Dunn will telegraph he,
daughter shortly of her safety.

DISTRICT COURT
GR|NDS OUT GR|sT
Five Men Convicted Of Larceny
From Borsts .... Serious
Charges Against Schenck
SOME ARE SENTENCED

Last Sunday morning about the time
the church bells were calling people
to the houses of worship u jury in the
district court sent word to Judge Shu-
mate that they had arrived at ver-
diet IN the case of the people versus
George Riley and the four Italians,
Biendo, Crocko, Gnalia and Manzo.
The judge went to the court room
and the received the verdict which de-
clared all the men guilty of burglary
and larceny as charged in the informa-
ton except that Riley was found
guilty only Of the larceny of the goods
of Borst Bros, and was declared not
guilty on the burglary charge.
The lawyers for the men convicted
on the double charge asked for the
usual ten days in which to appeal or
argue motion for new trial. Riley
went into court Tuesday and called for
his sentence which was from 10 months
to two years in the penitentiary and
in less than 80 hours he had broken
out of jail and made his escape. There
IS rumor that the other defendants
in the case will make no further efforts
to delay justice, but will appear for
sentence early next week.
The case of the Swastika Land anil
Live Stock company versus Taggart
ha
fendant.
The case of John Sprague, charged
with killing mountain sheep. was
brought up for trial and Sprague, who
mad plead guilty at the hearing in
the justice court, entered plea of
not guilty, and his attorney, ]. w.
Bell, raised the question of former
jeopardy, claiming that the justice of
the peace who first heard the case
and bound Sprague over to the ,listric.
court had jurisdiction to finally dis
pose of the case, and Judge Shumate
so held and remanded the case back to
Justice White who later fined the
prisoner 800 and costs and in the alb
sence of funds he was sent to the coun-
ty jail to serve out his sentence
A hobo brought up from New Castle
charged with an unnatural crime, en-
tered plea of guilty and was sen
fenced to from 15 months to two wears
in the penitentiary.
Mrs. Bertha Wouldhave was on Thurs
day adjudicated water for the old Nip,
pei ranch at the head of Red Canon.
In the case of Harmon C. Wilson
versus Albert E. Miller, Thad S. Harp
and r. L. Hutchings on a promissory
note for 5000 and interest, Judgment
was taken against defendants by de-
fault.
Information has been filed agaf>st
Frank Larry, charging him with cattle
stealing, and the case set down for
trial at the first day of the November
term.
Information has been filed against
Stewart z. Schenck for obtaining mon-
ey under false pretenses and this case
is set for the first day of the November
| term. This is an echo of the Union
Trading company which operated IN
Garfield county and many other couu-
ties in Colorado to the great financial
loss of great many farmers and 9TH
ers of an unsuspecting nature in whose
ears Schenck is said to have whispered
a story of great fortunes made in the
mercantile business.

GERMAN EXPERT PRAISES
OUR MARBLE

Colorado Springs, AprilN-Rudolph
f. w. Kroener of Munich, Germany,
member of prominent German marble
firm, is here on tour among marble
quarries in Colorado. He declares that
while in the east no one mentioned the
quarries at Marble, Colo, and he un.
derstands why, declaring them to be
the hottest competitor with those of
the east.

"that have not seen any finer marble
in this country than at Marble City"
He also speaks highly of the climate
and scenery in Colorado.

in the hole at the present time and il
only has seven more months in which
to 60.
The following clipping from the
press matter sent out by the democrat
ic press bureau shows the confidence
which the regular organization reposcS
in the two men named.
Recently w. ii. Malone and
George Hosmer, state printing
commissioner, journeyed to Pueblo
to secure funds for what they
they term the Federation of Dem
ocratic Clubs. From information
at hand, we learn that ex-Gover-
nor Alva Adams was the only one
who contributed, he agreeing to
donate the sum of 800 per month
for five months. Neither Malone
nor HOsmer are authorized by
State Chairman Bradley or the
democratic state organization to
collect any money Tor the demo-
cratic party. Not one penny of it
is turned over to him and the or
ganiZation is not consulted in any
way as to its expenditure. The
state chairman looks upon it as a
movement tending to secure funds
for the building of machine in
opposition to the regular state
party organization.
Democracy finds herself in another
financial dilemma. A number of tn;
corpoIa.s.ons have refused to pay thei
taXes On the ground that the assess
ments were made by the state boart
of equalization instead of by the stat
tax commission. The last Legislature
created a state tax commission AM
gave it the power to fix valuations
The governor declined to appoint tht
commission on account of lack of Fl
nances. The valuations were fixed BY
the state board of equalization. Nov
the corporations decline to pay theI
taxes, maintaining that the valuations
were not placed by the proper authori
ties. All of which goes to show that
democracy is incompetent from thS
ground up.
