Dramatic Company
Scores a Big Hit.

Those who had the pleasure OF
witnessing the play given by the
Arvada Dramatic company say
they got their moneys worth, as
The Deacon Entangled" made
a decided hit.
The curtain raiser, THE Cab
man and the Lady," was also
very ludicrous and brought forth
a round Of applause. Miss Gladys
Foster as the lady, Dave Lesher
as the cabman and Cecil Greene
as the jealous and irate husband
presented the comical little sketch
with creditable cleverness.
The orchestra did splendid
work in enlivening the occasion
between curtains and were heart
lily applauded.
The Deacon Entangled" is a
well woven plot and the parts
seemed to have been pretty we'll
suited to the players, which re-
fleets much credit upon A. f.
White, the director.
Wesley Moreland was an ideal
deacon not wishing to do any
thing that would bring reproach
upon his good name or upon the
cause. He had a weakness, how
ever, for doing the magnanimous
and this weakness was the cause
of his downfall. Being a man of
modest means and having a
daughter Ruth" to educate,
and an ambitious wife to placate
he was finally tempted to take a
gamblers chance as a means of
otfsetting a 81, 200 donation to
the church pipe organ fund.
He was led into this temptation
by his nephew, Calvin Spang'
ler," who in real, life is Frank
Bayers. Frank was the "reaI
sport" and managed to keel
something stirring all the time.
He was desperately in love al

Dry Climate Tire company's Of
flee Monday and found things
looking business-like. We were
shown a pile of stock certificates
that were signed up and ready to
put in the envelopes for mailing.
We had the pleasure of meet
ing ]. G. Boss, formerly of the
Boss Rubber Company of Den
yer. but who now is devoting his
entire time to the Dry Climate
Tire company. 1t is inspiring
to talk to Mr.. Boss on this fac.
tory proposition, as he sees a big
future for the rubber industry
here in Colorado and also in Ar
vada.
He says the people of Arvada
do not begin to appreciate what
the industry will mean to the
town. They propose to begin
with fifty or seventy-fve men,
and Mr.. Boss says that inside of
another year they will be build
ing another building as large or
larger than the one now in prog
ress of construction. He bases
his belief on the history of other
plants, how they have been tear
ing down two story buildings
and building four and six stories
and how they have started on
one acre of ground and in the
space of eight or ten years are
covering twenty-five acres.
The pr offs are enormous.
says Mr.. Boss, and there is no
reason why we cannot manufact-
ure tires right here in Colorado
as we'll as at Akron, Ohio. or any
other place. There was a time
when the tire industry was con-
fined exclusively to Akron. but a
few years ago the big strike
caused the manufacturers to 70
elsewhere, to Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and other points. There
can be no question but that tires
manufactured and cured here in
this dry climate and used here
will have a big advantage over
those shipped in here" said Mr..
Boss.
When asked about the seeur-
ing of raw material here he said
I'VE will have no trouble getting
that here at a figure at which we
can compete with eastern made
goods.
There are 81. 600, 600 spent on
tires on the Denver market year.
ly (meaning in the Denver zone)
and we expect to get some of
this business. The campaign for
Colorado made products will help
US to sell them and if we could
sell 10 per cent. Of Denver's de.
mands the enterprise would
clear 500. 900 the first year. Our
advertising expenses will not be
30 great, as we will begin with
Denver and work out, covering
gradually the surrounding terri
tory, going up into Wyoming,
Nebraska, Kansas and 80 on.
We do not expect to conine our.
selves to the tire business, alone,
but anything in rubber goods.
For instance q man met me to-
day and asked If we could not
make rubber plugs such as he
uses in his business. He said he
would be ready to contl act for
them by the million antl would
prefer getting them rig ht here

Town Board Holds
Special Session

The town board held special
meeting Monday night to make
arrangements for the coming
town election which will take
place on Tuesday. April 9th.
The list of nominations was
ordered published and will be
found elsewhere in this paper.
The printing of ballots both for
general election of officers and
also on the matter Of furnishing
water to residents outside the
city limits were also provided for.
The name of Mr.. Gorich was
chosen by the committee to fill
vacancies to go on the ballot in
place of w. H. Light, who de-
clined to qualify as a candidate
for the Office of trustee for one
year, after having been duly
nominated by the mass conven-
ton.
The clerk read report of the
earnings and running expenses
of the water plant, which report
was adopted upon motion by
Trustee Sanderson, seconded by
Trustee Chinn. The motion also
provided that the report be pub
lished in the Enterprise in order
that the voters might act intel
ligently with reference to the
matter of selling water outside
the city limits.
The report shows that not
wlthstanding the fact that there
have been several unusual mis-
haps during the fiscal year and
some permanent betterments
made, the plant has earned a
profit of approximately $500 over
all expenses. except the interest
on the bonds.
Mr.. Helm has also correspond
with several towns with refer
ence to selling water outside and
| finds that the custom is not I'M
usual altho in many cases condi-
tons are not the same. In near.
ly all cases. however, the con-
tracts are merely temporary and
conditional, as we believe they
should be. and can be annulled
at the discretion of the town au-
thorities.
The chief objection to such a
practice see ms to lie in the fact
that it won Id have a tendency to
encourage people living outside
to oppose allowing their property
to be brought into the city thus
working a hardship on those in
side by being compelled to bear
the burden of taxation on all
civic Improvements.
II would be perfectly natural
for those who could get such
privileges to lie content to stay
outside.
Another argument in favor of
furnishing water to tn. -pettior-
ers northeast of town is the fact
that in the summer time a grea,
deal OF flushing is needed at that
end of town and the water mere.
ly goes to waste. Another thing,
these people are contemplating
digging an artesian well and hav-
ing their own water system.
They already have electric wires
running out their way and with
an artesian well and electric
lights they would be pretty well
provided for, for years to come
and would likely oppose coming
into the city.
On the other hand, however,
the fact that the expense of ex-
tending the mains is borne by
those receiving the service out
side and also that they pay an
increased rate, giving the plant
q greater earning power. and al
so that the revenue derived from
their properties were they 10

Shawkey made the Griffmen look like

There might have been a different
story to tell of Jack" Bentley's ex-

inning when the locals scored a brace
of runs when they should have been
retired without a tally. but when he
allowed Kopf and Shawkey. two rather

for the time being.
Other Pitchers Effective.

three of them. Engel, Hopper and Har-
