HEAVY WIND
DOES DAMAGE
Fences are Blown Dow n Trees
Up Rooted and Other
Damage Done.

Arvada and vicinity was WIS.,
tied by hard wind storm Satur-
day and Saturday night. In fact
the wind started to blowing Fri
day night and continued until
Sunday afternoon before it snb-
sided. The hardest wind was on
Saturday and considerably dam
age was done in this vicinity.
The fence surrounding the ball
park here was most all blown
down and a number of chimneys
were leveled. At Lakeside
large portion of the fence was
blown down and down in the
valley a number of trees were
uprooted. Two large trees that
were standing near the residence
of |. B. Schaffer at Juchem sta
ton were blown over and fell on
the house, breaking through the
roof and also damaging consider
able furniture. No one was hurt.
The Homestead Bakery wagon
that makes Arvada was over
turned by the heavy wind be-
tween here and Berkeley and
was so badly damaged that the
route had to be made with an
other wagon. Numerous win
dows were blown in. One party
reports that several rows of on
ions sets that had recently been
put out were blown out and scat
cred all over their garden. At
Denver it was dangerous to be
ont on the streets as there were
numerous signs and plate glass
windows demolished during the
heavy storm.

THE CONSUMER PAYS.

When woman purchases $40
worth of woolen dress goods, $4.S7
of that $40 represents the actual
value of the goods and the remain
ing $5. 13 of the $40 the amount
of the tariff. In other words,
should the same purchase be made
in England, where there is no
tariff on woolens, the woman
would receive the same amount
and quality of dress goods for
$4.S7 that she pays $40 for in this
country.
This is because of the Payne
Aldrich ad valorem tariff of l05
per cent on this class Of goods,
when the Democrats came into
power in theHouse of Represent
atiVes they framed a bill reduc-
ing the tax on woolens nearly 40
per cent. Had this bill been per-
mitted to become a law the price
of woolens would have been re-
duced to every consumer in the
United States. But President
Taft vetoed the bill. The Demo-
cratic majority of the House now
presents the bill again.
ThePresident, however, will have
less excuse to veto the measure
than he had before. He declared
the first time that a certain tariff
board had not made it's report ;and
that to permit a reduction of the
duties might make it impossible
for the woolen manufacturers to
protect" their workmen.
The tariff board has now re-
ported, showing that wages in the
woolen industry are as high
abroad as in this country in many
instances. Then there has been
a strike Of the woolen mill work
ers at Lawrence, Mass, which
has revealed beyond argument
and beyond contradiction that the
woolen trust magnates have been
fooling and cheating the public
all the time.
The strike of the sc, 81 and SS

is a good, live town. You may
be asking them to vote for Arvada
to be the County Seat some time.

The last reports state that not
less than 1872 people perished
when the gigantic steamer, the
Titanic, sunk. 1t is hard to re-
alize that more people than there
is in Arvada went to their death
in the space of a few hours. The
rich and the poor went down to-
gether, but the wonderful thing
Of the tragedy was the heroism
of the men. Every woman and
child was saved first and then
the men took what ever chance
was left them. That is the
American way of doing these
things and is a characteristic of
our countrymen that we may
we'll be proud Of.
The Arvada enterprise., 1912-04-18

in the woolen mill brought to light
the fact that while the mill owners
have been declaring they were
protecting" their workers by
giving them fair wages and de-
cent working conditions, they
have been paying them starvation
wages and treating them almost
like animals.
The last leg has been knocked
from under the wool tax argu-
ment, and President Taft has no
excuse left to explain a veto of
the Democratic downward revis-
ion wool bill.
1t will be impossible to fool the
people again, whether they are
Republicans or Democrats. The
President vetoed the first wool
bill not for the welfare of either
consumers or woolen mill work
ers, but at the behest of the mil
lionaire woolen trust owners who
contributed to his campaign fund.
If he vetoes the newly introduced
wool bill it will be for the same
reason, and the people will soun-
derstand it. -Co-Operator.
