W. c. T. u. NOTES
By c. w. G.

Those who read the Denver pa
pers are appalled, by the crime
committed in the city. A young
boy became a murderer. O, the
pity of it all! We cry with
George Elliott of the last century,
THE world is upside down and
woe is me who must set it right. "
While we would often like to es-
cape responsibility, yet to "set
the world right" even in a very
limited capacity is the privilege of
every thoughtful man or woman.
Have you ever thonght of the
close connection between the liq-
uor traffic and crime? Before
Cook and Siewald entered upon
their hold-up venture they took
several drinks of whiskey. Jane
Addams has an article in the
March number of McClure's mag
azine in which she traces the
close connection of the white
slave traffic to the drink evil; she
presents the astonishing statis-
tics that over four million dollars
worth of drink was sold last year
in the city of Chicago by the men
and women of it's Red light"
district. There is something in
human nature which revolts from
crime and it is only when the
higher qualities and nobler i'm
pulses are dethroned that our
youngmanhood and womanhood is
let into the abyss of shame. We
should go to the spring of this
great flood of crime and heal its
waters by banishing the liquor
traffic.
AS the prayer-meetings of the
different churches came on We'd
nesday the Goth of March which
was the birthday Neal Dow, the
w. c. T. U. asked the churches
to observe the day by special
prayer for the temperance cause
throughout the country and es-
pecialiy for a white Colorado.
+lRalph Clark who has been
working for the Arvada Electric
Co. came near being killed last
Saturday noon. He was fixing
a drain pipe at the back of the
building and had picked up a pipe
placing it on his shoulder to
carry it more easily. In some
manner the pipe swung around
and came in contact with a live
wire carrying 1000 volts. The
shock threw young Clark to the
ground and stunned him for q
while, but he was not seriously
hurt. The entire 1000 volts
passed through his body, but ow-
ing to the fact that the voltage
was so great it did not harm him
to any great extent. Had there
only been four or five hundred
volts it would have been certain
death. Mr.. Duncan found Clark
laying on the ground as the tugh
dead and carried him into the OF
flee before he summoned help,
but it was only a short time be-
fore he recovered and was able

The Arvada enterprise., 1912-03-21

When the first people came to
America there were forests COW
ering almost all of the land.
Some of the most ambitious of
these settlers set to work cutting
down trees, building log huts and
also clearing land so they could
cultivate it.
The first plows were made of
wood. They were fashioned so
that rope or strap could be fast
ened to the front part of Che plow
and to the harness on the oxen
which were used for all drawing
purposes. The first steel plow
was invented by Jethro Wood in
1914.
The first canal in the United
States was built around the falls
on the Connecticut River at South
Hadley, Massachusetts in 1903.
Flat boats were used on this ca
nal. These boats were drawn by
mules. The rope was fastened
to the boat and to the harness on
the mules. There were paths a
long the edge of the canal along
which the driver and the mules
made their way.
The earliest bridges were prob
ably trunks of trees felled across
narrow streams. The next were
built on larger and better plan.
Bridges having wooden piers
were in common use among the
Romans, and the Pons Sublicus
built GIL B. c., is the oldest
structure of this kind of which
there is a record. There are
five different kinds of bridges
now, arch bridges, truss bridges,
tubular bridges, cantilever brid-
ges and suspension bridges.
There is an important arch bridge
which was built by Augustus over
the Nera, near Narni. There
are a few important truss bridges
found in Europe and the United
States. The most noted tubular
bridge is the Brittania Bridge
over the Menai Straits, in Wales.
The Victoria Bridge across the
St. Lawrence River at Montreal
is the second bridge Of note.
Both were designed by Robert
Stephenson of England. The
first important bridge of the can
tilever kind was built over the
Niagara River by the Michigan
Central Railroad in 1882. The
most noted Of the suspension
bridges is the Williamsburg or
East River bridge completed in
1908. Most of the bridges of to-
day are made of steel.
The first fowls were wild ones
inhabiting woods. They were
caught and domesticated. From
these fowls we have our chicken,
duck, turkey and goose.
The first horses in America
were brought over by Columbus
and those following him. The
herds of wild horses found lister
by colonists sprang from these.
They were caught and domesti-
Gated and used for drawing pur-
poses instead of oxen. The wag-
ons of today form quite a con-
trast with those Of yesterday.
Those were but boxes, rudely
constructed, with either two or
four wooden wheels. These are
made by excellent workmen and
have steel tires. The buggies
and carriages show also excellent
workmanship and have either
steel or rubber tires.
The roadways which the people
Of long ago used were not the
graded roads and paved streets
which we have now. Those USED

long ago were rough and stony.
Those we use today are graded
and made smooth and straight.
The streets are paved with as
phalt, a substance resembling ce-
ment.
The locomotive is a kind of
horseless vehicle. The first at
tempt at a steam propelled ma
chine was by a Frenchman named
Cugnot, in 1896. The first loco
motives were small but have been
modelled and remodeled and made
a little larger each time. The
first one that was a success was
invented by George Stephenson,
an English engineer. A railway
locomotive was invented by Rich
ard Trevithick, a Cornish miner
in 1904. This was a failure in
way for commercial purposes, but
from this invention many ideas
were obtained which helped to
Improve the locomotive. In a
contest with other locomotive in
1880, Stephenson's Rocket"
reached the highest record. 1t
carried a load of about nine tons
and reached a speed of fifteen
miles an hour. The first railway
over which passengers and
freight were carried was built in
1925.
The electric telegraph was in
vented by Samuel F. B. Morse.
He began studying electro-mag-
netism in 1926 and on a voyage
from Europe worked out plan
for using electromagnetic in tel
egraphy. In 1887 he gavea pub
lie exhibition of the telegraph.
Morse asked Congress to give him
money to build an experimental
line, but was refused. He went
to Europe to get aid but here he
was also refused. He was finally
successful in receiving aid from
Congress, and completed the line
| from Washington to Baltimore in
| 1874.
In most of our up to date cities
the cable and the electric cars are
used. The first street railway
was laid in New York City 1881
and 1882. 1t was an old fash
ioned stage coach hauled by
horses. Many forms of motive
power have been used, such as
horses, compressed air, steam,
cables and electricity, but leaving
out the underground and elevated
lines, the cable and electric cars
are the only forms worth MOTTO
ing. The first electric railway in
the United States was constructed
by Thomas Edison at Meulo Park,
New Jersey, in 1880.
Sir Isaac Newton made a toy
horseless carriage and from this
we get the automobile. 1t was
modelled from this by M. Leon
Serpollet in 1894.
The airship is another mode
: for travel. 1t is another model
of the balloon. The Wright
aeroplane was perfected three or
four years ago. In a contest in
Berlin, it rose to a height of 1900
feet. The monoplane is another
mode for air travel. Berliot
crossed the English Channel in a
monoplane July 25, 1909. Santos
, Dumont has invented one which
has been successfully used, The
, Zeppelin airship is still another
kind Of airship. Up to January,
1910 more than two hundred
flights had been made in it max.
ing fifty to nine hundred miles in
from one to thirty six hours. The
Zeppelin III has repeatedly car,
ried fifteen passengers.

that such exquisite carving out OF

primitive time as that. But since

!. Glasgow is supposed to he com
mcrcial city and yet none Of its build
ings look commercial. There is about
the buildings Of Scotch cities an ap-
pearance of strength and 'pcrmanency
and still they arc artistic. Art is not
sacrificed to strengthen as in Ne"
York city.
The municipal buildings in Glass
row form a handsome square, George
Square. The exterior Of the buildings
is in Italian Renaissance style. Onc
Ct the most effective features OF the
interior is the grand staircase with It's
heavy balustrading, massive pillars
AID extensive panneiing. The marble
for this was brought from various
parts of the owrld, and is very rare.
In George Square are many statues
amongst some of the largest are
those of Gladstone, Thomas Campbell
and Robert Burns. The parking in
the square of both Glasgow and Edin-
burg is very fine. Colors in flowers
and green are arranged with an eye
to harmony.
Our journey from Glasgow to Edin-
burg seemed very short, but really
it took US an hour and fifteen minutes
But then there was the novelty of
riding in English coaches and the in
terest of looking at an unfamiliar
country. The first thing that you
notice about Scotland is its grcenness
everything is SO brilliant. People
talk lot about the Emerald Isle,
|. but | don't see how it can possibly be
any greener than Scotland. Well,
the country surely ought to be fresh
looking, for it has rained every day
but one since we landed. When we ar
rived in Edinburg it was coming down
in buckets full and one Scotchman had
| the audacity to Say, "Oh, this isn't
bad, this is, only Scotch mist. That
