FOR A DRY a1ENwooD

The people of Colorado have voted
that, beginning with the first day OF
1915, which is today, every portion OF
the state of Colorado shall be dry ter
ritory, and Of course that includes Glen
wood.
We are not as self opinionated as our
neighbors over at Denver and we ars
quite willing to admit that we are still
part and parcel of the old state OF
Colorado therefore we are asking for
no favors and do not expect any re.
lease from the laws exactions.
Mayor Thorson says every possible
official action and effort will be nut
forth to assure in Glenwood an abso.
Lutte enforcement of the new law, re.
gardless of who may be affected. The
city officials will leave no stone un-
turned to see that the law is enforced
and in case it is not enforced all vio-
lators will be severely punished for any
infractions of the new statute.

THE MAYoR's DREAM

Mayor Thorson has had dream
which concerns Glenwood Springs and
all her people and he says he hopes to
see his dream come true before he re-
tires from office.
He has dreamed of paved streets Tor
Glenwood and hopes to see the project
at>least initiated before he retires from
the office of mayor, at least to the ex-
tent of paving Grand avenue from tho
end of the state bridge, south to
Tenth street. He also hopes for orna-
mental iron lamp posts along this street
on both sides.
The mayor has another idea which
calls for about four community play
grounds for the children in about four
different sections of the city.
These are only just a few things
which the mayor hopes to see brought
about for Glenwood and which are con-
templated in his dream for this CITY
for 1915.

UNA SECTION HOUSE BURNED

While G. E. Hubbard was driving
down the river last Monday morning
he discovered the Una section house on
fire at Una Station between Grand
Valley and DeBeque. No human being
seemed to be near, and Mr.. Hubbard
soon saw that any effort to save the
building would be futile although he
Succeeded by great effort in rolling n
hanisar away from the side of tt.
building and saving that, but the on:
70 N building and all contents wer
totally destroyed.
Mr.. Hubbard r..ssed on down the
road and soon came to gang Of Greek
section men who had been occupying
the building and who had evidently
left a heavy fire burning when they
started out for their days work.
Whether their carelessness was the re.
suit of too much holiday celebration
Mr.. Hubbard could not say, but he
knows the poor fellows lost all of their
effects in the blaze. They rushed ex-
citedly to the building as soon as they
discovered it in flames, but by that
time it was almost completely cou-
sumed.

NO HUNTING OR FISHING
ON RECEIPTS IN 1915

According to instructions Just re-
ceived by County Clerk Carleton L.
Hubbard from the state game and fish
commissioner, "Every person hunting,
and every male person over sixteen
years of age fishing, must have a H.
cense in his or her possession when in
the field.
RECEIPTS, regardless of by whom
issued, will not be construed as H.
cerses. Wardens of the game and fish
department are instructed to rigidlv
enforce the law, and parties hunting
or fishing on receipts win be prose-
cuted.'
The above action becomes necessary
by virtue of the fact that the wardens
are continually picking up hunters and
fishermen without licenses, but who up.
parently have paid the proper fee and
have secured in lieu of a license u
receipt issued by some notary public.
The 1916 hunting and fishing II.
censes are now ON sale by Mr.. Hubbard.

EAGLE COUNTY PIONEER PASSES

Word was received here this week to
the effect that Hans Har iers. of Red
Cliff had on December 10 died at the
home of his nephew at Blair, Nebraska.
Mr.. Harders drifted into the Red
Cliff country during the mining excite
ment in 1879 and was almost>a constant
resident of Eagle county from that
time to the date of his death. About
a year ago he was brought to the Glen
wood sanitarium suffering from a nesv-
GUS breakdown and while here he was
visited by George Siever of Carbondale
who was led to visit the sick man
through local item which appeared in
the Post. In visiting together the two
men discovered that they were. born in
the same town in Germany and while
they did not remember each other AS
children they each knew the relatives
of the other. AS soon as Mr.. Harders
was able to leave the sanitarium he
was taken by Mr.. Siever to his home
and cared for until he wanted to return
to Eagle county where he owned con-
siderable mining property. Mr.. Hard
ers was a veteran Odd Fellow and held
his membership in Crown Lodge No.
l46 at Gypsum.
