AN ICY CORRECTION

This article was sent in for pub
lication and we do not vouch for amy
OF the statements therein. Editor.
The article in last week S Enterprise
concerning the INIT Ice Company,
according to Mr.. William Sullivan,
the Montana expert. was misleading,
and for fear that others may fall into
the habit Of putting up this grade Of
ice and counting the cost before the
job is finished, this correction is
made. Mr.. Sullivan, being one of
the mainstays Of the Amalgamated
Company may he somewhat preju-
diced against l7x17 Ice, seeing lie is
it's competitor, but makes the follow
ing statements: His company offered
| to put up the amour, Of ice call for
| by the 17x17 amateurs at $3.50 per
load, which offer was rejected as too
high. The INIT folks got busy, and
when their house was filled figured
the cost as follows: Cost Of teams,
$500; cost of men, 10000; one set
false teeth (lost) $72 90: four boxes
cigars, SIC. 90; 1914 retail drinks at fif-
teen cents, 500 10; total cost, $247. 10;
making the actual cost per load 50. 16.
And besides this, they cut their ice
near the junction-an inferior grade
that the Amalgamated would not |
handle.
OF late this city has been infested |
by bunch of lloboes who are no good
to themselves and a detriment to the
city. There is plenty of work in the
valley and no excuse can be offered
for such bunch of idle men.
As it will be necessary for me to be
away part of the spring and summer
I offer my Avery truck for sale. 1t
has just been overhauled and is in
first-class condition. Can be seen at

Interesting Facts
and Figures

Now, that the shipping season
is almost closed, as far as farm
produce is concerned, particular
ly in the fruit and vegetable line
it will be interesting to many of
our readers to know the extent
of the business that has gone
through the local shipping
agents hands.
BY compiling u list of ship
ments which have gone through
Agent Banks Office of the Colo
RADIO 4 Southern we find the fol-
lowing gratifying record for the
season:
Strawberries (full carr lots. @. g
Apples (full car lots) ,... 40
celery ....,,......,.. ,...........l
onions ...............
Cabbage .3
Total 66
Besides this there have been
broken shu n.ents by eXlleSs
of 195 crates of strawberries
and less than car load lots of
apples aggregatlng about eight
car loads. All told, there have
been approximately l6 cars of
farm products shipped from Ar
vada this season. OF this amount
the predominating product il
apples, totaling about 100, 900
bushels.
Add to this the thousands of
tons that have been carted to
Denver by team and you have
some conception as to Arvada's
shipping center.
We still insist that there is
every reason why a shipping
association should be established
at this point. Some have object
ed on account Of the fact that
switching charges would be made
in Denver. We are reliably in
formed that this is a wrong i'm
preston except where cars are
shipped over other lines. In that
case the G. d S. would deliver to
the other lines and minimum
charge OF probably & cents per
hundred would be charged for
service from Arvada to Denver.
There are many OF these ObStAo-
les that might be removed If the
railroad company saw chance
to greatly increase It's earnings.
New ertheless, the foregoing
report should make all who are
in anyway interested in this sec
tlon Of the country, feel bouyant
and proud.

Mail to Come by =
Tramway Cars

The Commercial club did not
have a quorum Monday night, so
adjourned till Tuesday night,
when fair attendance was had
and the discontinuance of the
mail service was the chief topic
OF discussion. 1t was learned
that Golden had secured relief
by having the mail brought out
over Tramway.
President Juchem Immediately
got John f. Vivian on the phone
and secured his promise to aid a
committee of the commercial
club in putting it in touch with
the proper authorities in Denver
in order that we might try to
make similar arrangement.
The committee, which was to
go down and meet Mr.. Vivian
and the authorities was Messrs.
Juchem, Staley and Hurst.
Another committee composed
of A. j. Recht Editors Danford
and Moberly was appointed by
the chair to draft resolutions
condemning the action OF the
railroad company in cutting of
the service and to report at a
meeting to be held Monday night.
The secretary OF the club was
also instructed to write letters to
Idaho Springs, Central City and
Black Hawk to ascertain il Ar
vada could be of any assistance
to them in an attempt to get the
service put back on. The meet
ing then adjourned until next
Monday evening when it is hoped
ty have a better attendance.

The Suspense
Now is Over

The suspense is over and those
who were making wise prophe-
sizes regarding the appointment
for postmaster, know now how
near right they We're or how far
wrong they We're. Those who
had built up high hopes and were
led to believe they had good
chance for the appointment know
now how uncertain are the am
entities of political life.
All knew that but one could
get it, and Congressman Edward
Keating would not have been a
politician if he had told either
his innermost thoughts and in
tentions when their apphca-
tions were filed, or when they
and their friends interviewed
him on the subject.
After all the inspiration of two
or three months of hope that the
different candidates entertained,
the dreams enjoyed and the air
castles they builded were worth
something. Another thing that
was worth while was the friend
ly Offices of their circle of ac-
quaintances and friends, the
knowledge of their loyalty and
now the sympathy that is eX-
pressed in their sincerity all of
these things are worth something
and make them feel, even in
their disappointment that all was
not lost.
The fight that was made by
each candidate, SO far as we are
able to learn, was clean, open
and above board, and at no time
did eXcitement.revel beyond the
pale of propriety. The climax
came Saturday night when Il. l..
Newton received the following
telegram:
Washington, ID. G.
Nov. Is, '13l
r. l.. Newton,
Arvada, Colo.
| have Just recommended your
appointment us postmaster at
Arvadl. Your name will not be
sent to the Senate for several
days, but the appointment will
be confirmed III Tune to permit
you TO take over the Office on eX-
plraLlon Oh Incumbent's term.
Congratulations.
Edward Keating.
The news spread like wild-fire.
While the friends of the other
candidates did not fail to ex-
press their sympathy for the
candidates they had endorsed
and worked for, yet none have
shown a disposition to offer any
opposition 20 MIR. Newton's in
cumbency and it is believed that
ne will give perfect satisfaction.
Congratulations are being show
cred upon him and he is assured
of general cooperation.

Committee Calls on
Tramway Heads

mercial club consisting of Wes-
ley Staley, A. l.. Davis, d. F..
Cahill, E. l.. Newcomb and W..
w. Moberly, called on the Tram
way officials Wednesday and
were very graciously received
by Ex-Governor Smith, who has
the transportation matters un-
der his supervision. Mr.. Staley
as spokesman put the matter
plainly before him and the other
members of the committee Of
fered suggestions in his support.
Mr.. Smith isan atfable gentleman
and said he did not blame us for
wanting a fve-cent fare and if it
were in his power to grant it he
would be only too happy to do so.
In explaining why this could
not be done, he dlvulged some
inside information which the
press is not at liberty to publish.
However, everyone knows of
the recent upheaval in the Tram
way management that culminat-
ed about the time our recent agi-
tation started and as vet the or
ganization is incomplete. Mr..
Smith promised the committee
that ii he was still with the COM
pany after all was settled ana
running smoothly that he would
'endeavor to give US a z! cent
coupon book with transfer priv
elege, but that was the best we
could expect tor nve years. This
would apply to Grlthth as well.
In the spring, however, under
the same congenial circumstances
$ Mr.. Smith promised to see
what could be done about ne "
station which would be metro
pOltdll la Clldl dSISI, lilCluullS d
peanut stand and news depot.
The stringency OF money mar
ket and the falling Off OF earn
lngs was given as the prime
reason these Things cannot be
done now. The passenger earn
lngs> are shown to be 81, 900 per
day less this year at this time
than in 1910.
The committee could not help
feeling LnaJ MIR. Smiths frank
statements backed up by the
records were sincere, and with
his promise to IN the meantime
give this point especial attention
and give us a report for publ!ca-
tisn at some future time, the
committee left him in the friend
llest mood and believe that their
visit was not in vain.
