Art Exhibit at School.

This Art exhibit at the High
school building last Friday was
well attended, and many remarks
of encouragement were given by
the parents and patrons Of the
district and those who attended
from outside the district. The
drawings and cuttings of the
little ones always attract atten-
tion and speak well for the little
folks. Many very delicate pieces
Of work were shown in each Of
the grades, indicating that much
effort had been put in the work.
The framed piece of hand work
by Miss Marguerite Goodman,
shows good talent and indicates
that this talent should be cult
yated. There seem to be many
artists in the embryo and all that
is needed is the practice to bring
fine results. The afternoon was
proftably spent.

Roy Andrist Killed on Wyoming
Ranch By a BuCking Bronco.

was usually tractiable, begun to
show signs of bucking. Not an
ticipating any difficulty Roy
checked him up sharpely and set
his spurs into his tlanks. Quick
than a flash the horse reared and
fell backwards, pinioning it's
rider under the horn of the
saddle. w. T. Wilson, foreman
of the ranch told Mr.. Andrist he
was certain Roy could have saved
himself had he been expecting
such action.
He was cared for as best they
could, but death overlook him and
relieved him of his sufferings at
7:30 that evening.
Young Andrist was born in
Arvada and would have been %
years old this fall. He was we'll
liked by all who knew him and
young man of sterling qualities.
His parents are heartbroken
and have the sympathy of the
entire community.
Geo. Andrist. brother of the
deceased, arrived from New
Mexico Wednesday afternoon and
the funeral will probably take
place Sunday afternoon, as at
this time no word has been re-
celVed from Paul White, son of
Terrence White, who was boon
companion of Roy and who went
away with him, and is now liv-
ing at Hayden, Routt county, has
been heard from. His father ex-
poets him home tonight.
The Arvada enterprise., 1913-05-15

The community of Arvada was
terribly shocked last Monday
evening about 9:30 o'clock when
the news spread like wild fire
that Roy Andrist, the eldest son
of Mrs. John Andrist, had been
killed on a ranch in Wyoming.
The telegram which brought the
sad news Immediately followed a
a message received about two
hours before that the boy was
badly hurt, to come at once.
Mrs. Andrist was frantic when
she received the news, Mr.. And
rist being away from home, on
his ranch up above Leyden. He
was soon reached by phone, how
ever and was about to leave for
Wyoming when the last message
was received.
He went on the first available
train to Laramie, where the body
had been taken to a morgue and
and it was made ready for ship
ment and the heartbroken father
returned with it Wednesday
morning.
The details of the accident,
which caused the young mans
death are as follows:
Roy, who had been Il cowboy
on the ranch of the Diamond
Cattle company near Bosler,
Wyoming, had saddled bronco
at 5 o'clock Monday morning and
started out to round up some
cattle, when the horse which

Town Board Meets and ThraShes
Out Several Knotty Problems.

The proclamation was made, but
inasmuch as there has been q
great deal of work done on the
streets and there is still much
more to be done, the council was
inclined to accept the CONNER
cial clubs offer Of bearing the
expense of the teams. However,
the rubbish will be hauled off if
the owners of the property and
tenants will see to it that it is
collected into convenient places,
and an urgent request is made
that all owners of vacant lots
take an active interest in this
work and rid the lots of insight
ly debris that is likely to blow
onto adjoining property or make
a breeding place for flies and ty-
phoid germs.
1t is believed that all will join
in hearty cooperation in this
matter. There are a few, how
ever that have already hired
their debris carried away who
feel that others should do the
same, and some are members of
the Commercial club and conse-
quently feel that it is an imposi-
tion for them to be called upon
to contribute to the general fund.
Nevertheless, some of them have
expressed a willingness to bear
their proportion of the expense.
Several road matters were dis
postd of, among them finishing
grading Wadsworth avenue pre-
paratory to putting on the gravel
and also the work on Valley
avenue will be looked after.
Various culverts are to be built
and arrangements will be made
for civil engineer to give the
grades and lot lines on Ralston
avenue so that the sidewalks
may be put in.

Why We Raise the Price.

AS announced in last weeks S
issue, the subscription price Of
the Enterprise will be raised to
1.50 per year on July 1st, 1913.
The reason we do this is that all
first-class weekly newspapers
throughout the country and es-
pecially in Colorado, are 81. so
and $500. That is what the En-
terprise intends to be, a first class
paper. his takes an eXpendi-
ture Of money to accomplish, and
with all Of the support that nat
urally comes from the merchants
there is hardly ~eFAugh to justify
the effort we are going to put
forth. There are many enthusi-
ascic boosters" in this town and
territory who have no advertis-
ing to give, but who will gladly
pay 30 cents more year to have
a good paper.
Another thing, everything else
is going up and why should not
the printer keep apace?
Now, while the price will be
raised at that date, all those who
get in before that time and pay
up their back subscription and
give their order to have it con-
tinued will get it another year
for $1.00. Others are coming in
and taking advantage Of this op-
portunity. Why not you?
All new subscribers before
that date will have the same
privilege.

Well, he made a success of tick

The Arvada enterprise., 1913-05-15


composed of Mrs. j. A. Abbott,
Mrs. H. A. Ullery and Prof.
Drake, the latter as spokesman,
appeared to request the Board to
allow the M. E. Church to pipe
water into their building to be
used for drinking purposes and
for socials, without meter. In
other words that the water would
be free unless they wish to use
water for lawn purposes. In
such case a meter would be in
stalled. The Board granted the
request.
A number of telephone officials
were present, thinking that the
locating of the right of way for
their poles was to be disposed of.
The committee which was ap-
pointed by the Commercial club,
composed of Wesley Staley, A.
j. Davis and J. F. White, was
also present for the same pur-
pose. 1t soon developed, how
ever, that the Board had no jur-
isdiction over the matter at it's
present stage, as it is a question
to be settled between the prop
erty owners on Grand View Ave.
and the Telephone and Electric
companies.
The real problem to be solved,
is whether the property owners
would rather have the poles set
up in front of their homes or in
the rear of them. The line of
poles is now on the right of way
of the G. & S. railroad and the
companies claim they are going
to be compelled to move them.
The Telephone company is rather
anxious to go through the alleys
where they exist and say they
will buy their right of way where
it crosses private properly.
The Electric company claim
that they are entitled to a right
of way in the streets of Arvada
and that unless the council and
the people are agreeable to their
going through the alleys and a.
cross their property, they would
have right to run their line in
front of the houses and in some
instances across the front yards,
which it is claimed is really a
part of the street, but is being
used by the property owners
abutting the street.
Mr.. Davis presented a list of
property owners on the east end
Of the street who were willing to
allow the poles to be set at the
back of their lots, if necessary,
rather than have them placed in
front. They are:
A. J. Davis, F. S. Bobb, Dep
uty Marshall Robenson, j. Flah-
erty, Mrs. Jeffreys, D. W. Com
stock, Chas. Cline, E. L. New
comb, Rev. Sanderson, and Carl
Schultz. There are four or five
others who oppose having the
poles on the alley line. 1t is very
likely an amicable adjustment
will be made by the time the
poles are to be moved.
Mayor McFadden set Tuesday,
May Goth, as the day when the
teams would gather up the rub
bish from the alleys and other
places where it has been piled,
and haul it off. The expense of
the teams, however, is to be paid
by the Commercial club, which
while no more able than the city
to bear such expense, has mem
bership of men who are so con-
stituted that they will dig down
deep into their pockets in the in
terests of the public in such an
enterprise.
A committee from the Com.
y Nrcial club was sent before the
Council to request that the proc,
lamation by the mayor be made
and sanctioned by the council
