The Literary Society

Inc Literary society
The meeting of the society on Friday
evening was one of the best of the sea-
son. The program opened with dialeg
in which the characters were represent
ed by Oran, Frank and Mrs. Earl Mark
ham and Miss Bess Smith. A touching
experience from life was illustrated and
the story splendidly told. The loud ap-
plause in encore was responded to by
Frank Markham. who related comic
experience Of trip east under the title
of "A Homesteader from Keota.'
Another dialog, Popping the Ques-
tion," was also much enjoyed, the char
acters being represented by Mrs. Muir
ply. Mrs. Gurwell, Misses Anna and
Alta Jobbins, Herbert Poush, DR.. Wells.
A third dialog. highly appreciated.
was given by Mr.. and Mrs. c. o. Dodder.
Good recitations were given by the
following: Bessie Quackenbush, Mar
jorie Dodder, Amy and Wilma Simms.
Willie and Charles Vogliotti, Lloyd and
Mabel Andrews, w. ]. Simms. Alta
Jobbins, Ruth Besaw, Mrs. Dodder.
Mrs. C. Haak favored the audience
with couple of songs. with Miss Helen
Ernst as accompanist.
AS there was no regular debate for
this evening it was decided to have an
impromptu discussion of . trivial sub
ject, and the debate that followed on:
Resolved, That the Dishrag is more
Beneficial than the Broom" furnished
great amusement. The affirmative was
upheld by Messrs. Dodder, Markham,
Schoonover, jackson and Davis, who
were opposed on the negative by Mes
danes Haak, Gurwell, Dodder. Schoon-
over, Besaw and Culwell. In a vote
of the house to decide the winning side,
it was amusing to note that the affirm
alive received only the votes of those
who had debated that side of the ques-
ton, the vote being overwhelmingly in
favor of the ladies and the negative.
A question for debate on Wednesday
night, March 6, is Resolved, That the
United States Government Should Own
and Operate all Railroads. The affirm
ative is to be discussed by Messrs.
Owens, Byrne and Gurwell; the mega
tive by Messrs. Fox, Davis and Andrews.
A question for debate Mar. 13 is "Re-
solved, That the Initiative, Referen-
dunn and Recall Measures should be
Adopted as National Laws" the affirm
ative to be represented by c. L. Stan
ley, Oran Markham, Mrs. C. o. Dodder,
and the negative by c. o. Dodder, J. A.
Rumsey, Mrs. s. E. Culwell.
A vote on the question resulted in
changing the meeting night from Friday
to Wednesday.
Because of the stormy weather the
attendance at the meeting Wednesday
evening was small, and the program
shorter than usual. In place of debate
q spelling match was held, Miss Helen
Ernst winning for her side. Another
match in which the contestants were
required in turn to name word begin
ming with the last letter of the previous
word, furnished much amusement. DR..
Wells and Mrs. CuIwell proved best in
this contest.

COUNTY DIVISION A LIVE ISSUE
We Can do 1t Now" So Why Wait
Until Dim Distant Future?


Altho we have not reached the limit
Of getting additional and accurate infor-
nation as to the amount Of expense in
volved, and of financial resources at
hand to meet the expense, with prob
able surplus, in the problem of erecting
a new county from this northeast corn
er of Weld county, we think it well to
publish such facts as are at hand, with
the idea of adding to our knowledge of
the subject as further information is OBJ
tained.
C.. o. Dodder has received q letter
from the clerk Of Moffat county, a
county erected about year ago, and
from this letter we quote:
1.-The session laws of 19i1, page Sic.
gives the act creating Moffat county,
with which you can familiarize your
self.
''Our assessed valuation amounts to
about 81, 25O, 600. and our ordinary coun-
ty revenue will amount to about $23, 600
on 19-mill levy, and we feel that that
will be sufficient for ordinary county
purposes.
Books, furniture, two typewriters,
and other necessary supplies cost about
81, 700. We rent building. constructed
= vault in same at the expense of $3.50.
''The transcribing Of the records per-
tanning to property located in Moffat
county 10 not yet completed. but we es-
innate it will cost this county about
81, 5OO."
This northeast territory, about thirty
six miles square, when the federal CEN
sus was taken in 1910 contained two
precincts as follows: Grover, precinct
81, population 1864; Raymer. precinct
II, population 1854. Total population ac-
cording to the census is 2,S28, which
would place the proposed new county in
the fifth class.
The area of the new county as nearly
as we can estimate it, would be about
l, 1873 square miles, which is much small
er than Moffat county, but even with
the smaller territory our assessed valu-
alton would be nearly as great as theirs.
After the new county had been or
ganized, and were the assessed valua-
ton on the $40 decided quarter sections
raised to So per acre as has been sug-
gested, our available revenue on . 16-
mill levy would be about $A.362.
The tax levy for 1911 was mills less
than for 1910, but with the contemplated
improvements at Greeley our levy is
likely to be raised about mills. This
is the impression given out there by
those who have knowledge of affairs at
headquarters. AS an independent body
our tax levy, made according to our
needs, would very likely be considerably
less than if we remain part Of Weld.
The amount of 81, ,221, $50. estimated
assessed valuation of this territory for
1911, is based on figures for school dis
tricts, furnished by one Of our county
officials.
The clerk of Phillips county states by
letter that he believes we would have
no difficulty in maintaining new county
with the valuation we have mentioned.
He states also that for several years
their expense in renting building tor
q court house was only $25 month.
1t has been observed that much Of
the land in Moffat county is not such As
any considerable revenue can be derived

1000 STRIKERS
WAR WITH POLICE
Crowd of Workers Preventing
Operatives Entering Mill,
Dispersed After Battle.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, July IT,
a disorderly demonstration by Il
crowd of 1000 strikers and strike
sympathizers occurred today before
the gates of the Butler mill, in con-
neotion with the strike and lockout
affecting twelve cotton cloth mills
OF this city and resulting in 10, 900
persons being out of work.
Three Arrests Made.
Fol- more than an hour strikers and
their sympathizers held a position
near the mill and refused to allow
operatives to enter the gates. Dur
ing the disturbance three arrests were
made, one offender being a woman
who vigorously resisted being taken
into custody.
John A. Fernley. superintendent of
the Butler mill, while attempting to
drive away the strikers, was handled
roughly by the crowd, but cap
injury. The three policemen near the
mill were unable to hold the crowd in
check, n a squad of reserves was
tent from police headquarters to dis
perse the strikers.
Wear EttOr Badges.
Nearly every one participating In
the demonstration either wore the
emblem of the Industrial Workers of
the World or a tag bearing the like
ness of Joseph j.. Ettor, the impris-
oned leader Of the Lawrence strike.
After the demonstration had subsidized
many of the workers in the Butler
mill entered the gates under police
protection.

GOLD COINS NOT
UP TO FACE VALUE
Worn in Circulation, and Gov
eminent Sets Limit of
Tolerance"

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Milions
in gold coin, and which is not worth
face value, probably is circulating in
the United States. This fact has
been called to the attention of Lee
McClung, treasurer of the United
States, but the government has no
desire or intention to recall the
money in order that only gold Of
standard value may be in circulation.
Should this gold be presented to
the treasury or sub-treasuries, it's
owners would be the losers, because
OF the enormous wear caused by
abrasions in circulation. While the
government does not require hat
gold coins shall be of standard
weight to be redeemed at face value.
it has established what is known as
a limit of tolerance" which per-
mits a loss in weight of one-half of
one per cent.
