The democrats of Pitkin county are
boosting Ben X. Kobey for congress
man of the Second Congressional dis
trict. The recent county assembly
strongly endorsed Mr. Kobey for the
position. Ben is live wire and a good
roads enthusiast and the democrats
might do worse in selecting a candi-
date.

The first assemblies under the
new law were held in Garfield county
last Saturday and all must admit that
there is u great similarity to the old
fashioned convention against which so
much has been urged. Our friends the
reformers(D should bear in mind that
it is one thing to find fault and quite
another thing to suggest remedy.

C C. Parks, Ole Thorson, w. 5.
parkison, Judge Noonan, Austin Gavin
and perhaps few others from Glen,
wood have been in Denver this week
in the interest of Mr.. Parks guberna-
torial candidacy. Editor Dickson had
intended to go over, but when he got
ready to start Tuesday evening he
found the going anything but good and
fearing he could not get there in time
for the big doin's, decided to postpone
his trip until later in the season.

Last Tuesday while Harold Reed was
working with an overheatei electric
motor at Marble his left hand was
caught by the machine, but Harold
freed himself by an almost superhumau
effort, not, however, until the hand had
been pretty badly chewed up. He says
the gauntlet of his glove furnished
considerable protection to his hand and
he shudders to think what the result
would have been but for that glove.
Reed came down Wednesday morning
and left that evening for Denver where
he will nurse the damaged nit back TO
a normal condition and will next week
take up his studies in the Denver Den.

Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Ellis have recent
| ly enjoyed a week S visit from Mr.. El-
1
lis uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. G. H.
Martin of Des Moines. The Ellises
recently came here from Grand juno
tion and when they heard that the
Martins had started west and would
visit them they wondered how they
could get word to them that they were
in Glenwood. In sitting on the porch
thinking the matter over, Mrs. Ellis
was surprised and delighted to see the
Martins passing by. They had stopped
| in Glenwood and had intended to go
| on to Grand Junction to see the Ellis
family, but were pleased to find them
here. IT was strange coincident and
very pleasing to all.
