Bill Lloyd Has Wreck

The following story appeared in the
Grand Junction News last Thursday
regarding Mr.. Lloyd's smashing with
a car near that place:
William Lloyd. lineman for the
telephone company, suffered concus-
sions of the brain and many serious
bodily bruises when he collidcd while
riding his motorcycle, with an auto
driven by c. ]. Bradfield of this city,
at 3 o'clock last Wednesday afternoon
in Clifton. His escape from death was
remarkable. The motorcycle was
pulled out from underneath the futo
a total wreck. Lloyd was r,ckei up
about fifteen. feet away unconscious
and brought to the city and to his
rooms at 903 Main street. He is now
conscious and will probably recover
nicely.
According to Mr.. Bradfield. he was
driving from Palisade to Grand June
tion in an Oakland runabou;. accom-
panied by James Anderson of Den
yer. AS they passed Clifton at cbout
% miles an hour they saw Lloyd come
out from behind clump of weeds.
headed up the road towards Palisade
and meeting them. They saw an acct
dent was unavoidable and so did
Lloyd. The latter tried to heau into
the orchard to the north of the road
and was struck squarely. He was
knocked through the air about 20 feet
and landed on his head and arms. 1t
was thought at first he was lying. He
was hurried to Grand Junction in an
other car. while Mr.. Bradfield took
the wrecked Harley Davidson motor
cylce from under the auto. The auto
was not badly damaged. Mr.. Lloyd
is reported to be resting easily, altho
his condition is still serious and his
mind is still not clear.---Grand June

The beet crop is going to be good
with better prices than heretofore.
The harvesting of this crop will begin
the latter part of this month and con
tinue into November. Potato ship
ments remain brisk with the best
prices our growers have had for years,
and the crop, though shorter than
common will bring in much money.
Peach shipments are pretty well over
and the trains of refrigerator cars that
have been going out for week will
only be loaded hereafter with apples.
These are now about ready for car
load shipments. Wheat and oats

ready. And thus the round of pleasure

HOSE CO. MUST
REMOVE REFUSE
Reilly Firemen Ordered to
Clean Up Rubbish Left by
Carnival Co.

Request will be made by the city
school authorities to the Reilly Hose
company that the refuse and paper
left at Third and Reilly streets, by the
carnival company located there last
week, must be removed. The carnival
company exhibited here for the benefit
of the firemen and upon leaving the
city, left vast paper lying loose which
blew over many of the streets in the
West End.
The Rev. George F. Schaum, pastor
of the Harris Street United Evangelical
Church, facing one of the plots, occu-
pied by the carnival, was foremost in
registering protests to the school
board, owners of the property, because
of the untidiness. The order to have
a cleanup made at once was sent out
shortly afterward. Other church or
ganizations in the neighborhood also
protested, and complaints were made
of the noise made in loading and un-
loading of the carnival equipment. Mr..
Schaum also served notice that an ac-
count of the Objectionable character of
the carnival he would protest against
other performances of the kind.

REAL ESTATE.
LEADS STATE IN
BUILDING GAINS
Harrisburg Operations in April
Show Record Increase;
Fourth in u. S.

Only three other cities in the United
States howed a greater percentage
of increase in building operations for
April, 1916, as compared to the same
month year ago, than did Harris
burg, according to statistics compiled
by the American Contractor.
Figures from 105 of the principal
municipalities of the country are sub
mitted and of this number Wichita,
Kan. leads with a gain of 972 per
cent, Holyoke, Mass, is second with
763 per cent, and Nashville, Tenn. fol-
lows with GA while Harrisburg is next
with clear gain of POI per cent.
These figures are considered espec-
tally significant among builders and
contractors in view of the fact that in
thirty-seven cities there were consid-
cradle percentages of decrease in op-
erations. For instance New York
shows clear decrease of five per cent
New Orleans 20 per cent, Wilkes-Barre
AZ, Scranton 61, Troy, n. Y, 10, To-
peka, Kan, AZ, San Antonio, Tex, So.
While Harrisburg, of course, leads
all the cities in Pennsylvania few of
them show pretty good gains. Allen
town gained 153 per cent, Altoona "a,
Erie 32, Huntingdon Ill, Philadelphia
80, Pittsburgh 2S and Reading 61.
