DOlNGS AT THE ELKS'

Things witnessed was not always of
the most elevating nature. how
ever, and had a tendency to cause
many OF the visiting EIks to gasp.
Inc conduct of many of the ladies"
who We're to be seen in the Hobbies
OF some of the hotels and in the
cafes, under the bright lights, was
not at all times AS exemplary as il
might have been.
The decorations and ilIumina-
TONS were superb, although most
of them were similar to those used
during the knights Templar con-
clave last year The attractions
promised, from the illuminated run
by the fire department to the dance
at the close, were carried out to
the letter
The industrial parade, with the
varied products of the state dis
played on beautiful floats, was
revelation to visitors from the east
ern states and WAS greatly admired
and heartily applauded The va
rious towns and cities of the state
were well represented. The San
Luis valley exhibit, on lastly
arranged float provided by the
lodge at Alamosa, attracted great
deal of attention. A man stand.
ing on the float with small pig in
his arms created a laugh all along
the line The lodge WAS awarded
a prize of $3.50
The second days parade con-
sisted of representatives of lodges
from all parts of the country. The
attendance from the eastern states
was not as great as had been antici-
pated, but the lack of numbers in
that respect was compensated for
10Y the lodges of Colorado, Wyoming
and other western states, which
were largely represented in the pro-
cession. Cheyenne alone had about
200 men mounted on broncos in
line. Features of the procession
were the splendid work done by the
crack drill teams and the beautiful
uniforms worn by the members of
the visiting lodges. The weather
WAS very warm, which caused some
discomfort to those who covered
the long lines of march on both
days. Later in the week, however,
the weather was more or less cloudy
and the temperature WAS lowered
considerably.
The open-air dance on Champa
street, which closed the weeks fes-
Invites, began at $50 p. IN. and
wound up at D a. m. Here the
rowdy element had a splendid OPP
portunity to display themselves
and they surely went the limit"
The respectable portion of the
crowd retired early.
Denver always treats her visitors
royalty and spends money with
lavish hand for the entertainment
of her guests. No fault can be
found with her on that score, We
do not deem it wise, however, to
remove the lid and run a wide
open" town on such occasions
Denver's reputation as conyen-
ton city would be greatly en-.
HANGED if police regulations were
more strictly enforced when large
numbers of visitors are in her

clergyman of the city, in a sermon
delivered last Sunday, very aptly
said; Denver is too much in the

No Grand Jury.

1t pays to have county attorney
who attends to the business of the
county. After a thorough investi-
cation, County Attorney Mcmillan
became convinced that Ed Rean.
who is charged with larceny and
awaiting the action of the grand
jury, is innocent, and deeming a
MONTHS imprisonment sufficient
punishment for "Jack O'Brien," the
fellow accused of passing worthless
checks, he concluded that a grand
jury was unnecessary. Today Mr..
Mcmillan got in communication with
Judge Roeser and as result there
will be no grand jury at the term of
court commencing next Tuesday,
and the county will be saved several
hundred dollars of expense.

Protect the Farmer Stockholders,

In all sincerity the Union wishes
the proposed new railroad from An
Okla to Mile Laos lake success. If
such a road is ever built it will be a
Godsend to the farmers of western
1santi county who are now obliged
to haul their produce a long dis
lance to market and, in the main.
over execrable roads, But if
farmers along the route of the pro-
posed road take stock in the enter
prise, as many of them undoubtedly
will, their interests should be pro-
tected. What we mean is this: if
it should be necessary to mortgage
the road to raise necessary funds to
complete it and the mortgage should
be foreclosed, some arrangement
should be made whereby the farmer
stockholders would be protected, and
not lose all they may have invested
in the enterprise.

A letter from William e. White,
formerly of Baldwin, dated at Butte
City, Mont, says that wages are no
higher there than six years ago,
while the cost of living has gone up
considerably. He also says there are
more men there than there is work
and that a laboring man is better off
in Minnesota. Eggs during the
winter were IS cents dozen and
poultry and feed is high. Apples
are, however, only SO cents a box
and POTATOES Is cents hundred

South Harbor and East Side are
fractional toWnships-E Side has
barely Is full sections. Kathio voted
large amount of bonds few years
since for road purposes.
There is no small county of the
state that can. make better Show
ing in the amount voted for road
improvements than Mile Laos.
The all important thing now is for
the supervisors of the several towns
to appoint the right men for road
overseers. A faithful and competent
d-builder-as the law contem-
plates-means everything to town.
An incompetent road overseer means
no improvement in the roads over
which he has control. Supervisors
should exercise every care to get the
right men for road overseers.
Another important factor in the
maintenance of roads is the drag or
road planer. Any road that has
been properly rounded up and
drained can be kept in good cendi-
tion by the frequent use at the right
time of the drag or planer. Here
again the road overseer comes in
the roads must be dragged as he
directs, subject, Of course, to the
approval of the supervisors. Super
visors should remember that the
proceeds Of the one mill road drag
ging tax cannot be devoted to any
other purpose than dragging the
roads.
The deputy state engineer for
Mile Laos county, Mr.. r. M. Cooley,
will be glad to cooperate with the
local road authorities and give every
assistance within his power when
ever called upon.

A Sympathetic Strike.

At about $50 O'Clock on Sunday
morning the water tank at the depot
seemingly in sympathy with it's
arid surroundings went to pieces.
Some of its hoops parted and the
slaves were precipitated to all points
Of the compass by the water pressure.
A number of planks in the platform
near the tank were dislodged by the
falling slaves, but luckily no person
was near when the collapse occurred.
It would not surprise US to at any
time learn that the village tank had
gone the same way as that at the
depot. 1t is old and shakv.

NOW FOR RESULTS
Over $4,000 Available for Road
Improvement in Mile Laos
County in Year 1910.
The Towns Voted Substantial Sums
for Road and Bridge Purposes
for the Current Year.

The total amount of money
available for road and bridge pur-
poses in Mile Laos county this year,
exclusive of what may be expended
by the villages of Princeton, Milaca,
Foreston, Onamia and Wahkon, is
500, 345.26, to be derived from the
following sources: From the state
road and bridge fund, 1928, 900; from
the three mills county road and
bridge tax, S9,64l.25; from taxes
levied by the towns of the county,
$40, $50. 4S; from delinquent land road
taxes levied by town supervisors,
SO, 553. SO.
The above figures, Of course. are
based on the supposition that all the
taxes levied will be paid. But de-
Quoting 10 per cent for attachments,
cancellations, etc., from the county
and town taxes, would leave 1914, 511. Oh
to be expended by the county and
towns and $4,000 by the state, max
ing net total of s62,5l1.O4. 1t is
safe to assume that at least $4,000
will be expended by the five villages
on streets, roads and bridges, which
would make net total of over $780,
900 that can be expended on roads
and bridges in Mile Laos county
during the year 1914. That amount
Of money judicious]y used should be
productive of results-should give us
some good roads and bridges.
Last year the amount voted by
towns on town meeting day for roads
and bridges was $40, 15O.4S, this year
the amount voted by towns for road
and bridge purposes was S26, BOTS.
an increase of S7,160.27 over last
year But this year the town super
visors will not levy any road tax, to
be worked out or paid in cash at the
option of the taxpayer, as heretofore.
We are inclined to believe, however,
that better results will be obtained
this year.
Some of the towns this year voted
almost the limit permitted by law
for road and bridge urposes-notably
Princeton, Bogus Brook and Isle
Harbor. Annexed hereto is table
showing the amount voted by each
town on the 10th inst. for road and
