In the South

It is in. the south. however that some of the most highly suggestive population increases have taken place. St. Louis and it's growth are justifying the predictions made by E. H. Hartman of what he be- lieved would be the unparalleled growth O. the 'empire-like southwest" That was view taken by Jay Gould when he at tempted to begin constructive work to de- veiop the Missouri Pacific to it's full ca pacity. Atlanta should have by July |, lS0,000 population, and that city of new growth Birmingham, should be only I little behind Atlanta, having approximate ly 10000 population. Memphis will have 145,000. Richmond from which almost all the devastating traces of the civil war have been eliminated, is to have 10000 next July. San Antonio. Nashville, Dallas. each with about 115,000 population. these being proportionately large increases since the census of 1910 tell story of southern growth. New Orleans has 361 ,000 an in crease not as great proportionately as that of some of the other southern cities but likely to be much greater in the next five years on account of the influence of the Panama canal. Not even in the south does there seem to be full understa ndins of the rapidity of its growth in population as well as in industry and transportation facilities. This reacts favorably upon the rest of the country. and is especially ob- served by the bankers of New York, who have large dealings with the bankers tf the south and to mutual advantage.

COUNTY ooA0uss1olrE1s

The May meeting of the county COM
missioners came to close Thursday
evening when Commiss; oners NcLes1n
and Hahnewald returned to their
homes.
Various matters of Importance came
before the board during their four
days Of work. Mesdames Rose Fuller,
jeanette Machi and Emile Afbony ap-
piled for aid under the mothers COM
pensation act and all were granted the
helping hand of the county.
The county surveyor was instructed
to survey for highway to run east
and west on the Cohn mesa near Har-
vey Gap.
The old ferry at South Canon and
one of the last to be used in the state,
was ordered abandoned and all are
warned to not use the ferry. If peo-
pie use it, they do so at their own
risk.
The sum of $50 was allowed the Good
Roads association of the state to pay
Garfield cOunty's share of the expense
of initiating the half mill levy measure
for which petitions are now being cir.
culated throughout the state. At
least three of the petitions have been
filled in this county, two in Glenwood
and one in Rifle.
Some time ago this and other coun-
tiles purchased timber of j. Guy Ha--
rington of DeBeque. 1t appears that
he secured the timber from government
land and without the knowledge and
consent Of Uncle Sam. The county
paid for the timber used and then
Uncle Sam came along, explained af-
fairs and demanded pay for the timber
used. 1t was . surprise to the COM
missioners, but, since Harrington is
said to be financially unable to meet
the obligations to the government,t this
county was presented with the entire
bill. A portion was paid and at the
session this week the balance "
$299.73 was allowed. It is said Mesa
county and the D. & R. G. BY, both
of whom bought timber Of Harrington,
will fight the claims of the govern
ment.
County Attorney Taylor was author.
lied to secure the services of Mr.. J.

Mrs. c. C. Graham returned to her
Glenwood home last Sunday after sew
eral weeks spent in her old Indiana
home where she was called by the seri-
Gus illness of her mother who has now
almost recovered her health. Mrs.
Graham on her homeward trip stopped
for a visit at her former home in Ne
braska and now she is thoroughly con-
vinced that Glenwood is the prettiest
and best town of its size she has exer
seen. She says it is necessary for Our
people to take q trip to some of the
eastern points in order to enable to
thoroughly appreciate Glenwood by way
Of contrast. One place she visited,
city of 5000 inhabitants, has NO sew
erage system At all, AID the worst Of
it all is that it is claimed that they
could not have such a modern conven-
fence if they wanted it for the reason
that in high water times the water
from the river would back up in the
ma ms and cause an epidemic OF sick
ness. In respect to modern, sanitary
living the places visited by Mrs. Gra-
ham are far behind Glenwood Springs.
And as for prosperity, We are also
ahead of our eastern neighbors. In
Nebraska the people have not had a
crop for three years and the farmers
are shipping in baled hay from Colo
RADIO and other states and hauling it
out to their farms to feed their stock.
Mrs. Graham advised them to come to
Colorado where crop failures are un-
known.

REPUBLICAN MEETING

Denver, May 5.-Members of the
Republican state central committee
met here today and selected RI. Hubert
Work of Pueblo to take the place va
Gated on the national committee by
Simon Guggenheim. 1t is generally
believed here that this move means the
re-uniting of the Republicans of the
state and that the coming campaign
will see such q force arrayed against
tariff reform that an entire Republi.
can state ticket will be chosen by the
voters.
Frank c. Goudy addressed the mem
bers and his talk caused unrestrained
enthusiasm and great cheering fol.
lowed.
The committee adopted a pronun.
!ciamento ''to the people of the state"
declaring that "the first and fore.
most duty of all government is the
maintenance of peace and good order
and the preservation of personal and
property rights to unite in support
Of such q program.
The central committees declara-
tions follow:
"Solemnly realizing the appalling
conditions confronting our commoa.
wealth and with hearts of sympathy
for all who have suffered for these
conditions, the Republican State Cen
tral Committee of Colorado hereby
declares:
"That the first and foremost duty
Of all government is the maintenance
Of peace and good order among its
people, and the preservation Of pee
sonal and property rights; and VIC
pledge ourselves to do all within our
power to redeem the state from law
lessness and to maintain constitutional
right whether of property or person Il
shall be safe and secure beyond all
doubt or question.
"If the political party now and for
six years last past in power in Colo
RADIO had properly performed its sworn
duties to the people and strongly
united in cooperation with the present
governor in maintaining peace AMI
good order without aiding either side
in the strike our great state might
now be enjoying full peace and pros
perity.
"We are of the opinion that all
good citizens regardless of party If
filiation should unite in an earnest
effort to formulate and secure the ed
actment Of legislation for the peaceful
and orderly settlement of all industrial
disputes.
eve denounce the present tariff
law because its ultimate results will
be the lowering Of wages Of labor and
the destruction Of sugar s.d other
Colorado industries.
1--WE earnestly invite an citizens Of
our state who believe that stats cen
troll should be wrested from its present
inefficient naaaSenent to unite with
us to secure that ead."

WORST RattIa Of Present MAR.

Juarez, Mex.-The most desperately
fought battle of the present Mexican
revolution Is being fought at Tampico,
according to reports reaching consti-
nationalist officers here. 1t is report

are burning, and that a portion of the
town is on fire.

Proclamation If Necessary.

Trinidad. Colo.@Pleading with 200

ceEtage of-whem could understand his
sharply spoken English words, Mai.
W. Holbrook-of the Fifth United
States cavalry urged in mass meeting
at Camp San Rafael that the strikers
deliver their arms and ammunition to
the United States authorities. After
he had gone the group divided and
heard Interpreters repeat, in some
form, the remarks of Maj. Holbrook-
The matter of disarmament, it was
announced by William Diamond, union
leader, would not be put to a referen-
dunn vote of the miners, but would be
left to the inclination Of the individual
strikers who, he said, owned the wea-
pons in their possession.
Maj. Holbrook informed the strikers
that the proclamation for disarmament
included everybody except those in ac-
tual service of the United States. He
said that even the sheriff and police OF
Trinidad would not be allowed to
carry weapons of any sort.
The strikers listened attentiyely, APP
plauding now and then, and at the
close of the talk Mr.. Diamond divided
the listeners into five groups, n for
each OF the predominating languages
of the colony-Greek, Slavish, Italian,
Spanish and English. These went with
their interpreters to discuss the propo-
sition of giving up their arms.

Coal Men.

Peoria, Ill.-The Illinois Coal Op-

nois Mine Workers joint scale com
mitees, which have been in session for
three weeks, have disagreed. Whether
negotiations for a settlement will be
continued has not been decided, The
outlook for a settlement, leaders of
both sides declared, was not at all
favorable.
The wage scale committees in joint
session have agreed on approximately
700 demands, 400 of them being pre-
sented by the miners and 800 by the
Illinois operators. Two points are still
in dispute, and leaders asserted that
the break would come on these two
points. The miners are demanding a
4 cents per ton advance for the miners
in southern Illinois. To this proposal
the operators gave their final answer
by refusing to agree to any demand
which would add to the cost Of coal
production.
