District Gets Value Re-
ceived in School Buildings

In our item last week in refer
ence to the new school houses we
might have mentioned that Fred
SchelIinger, the contractor, has
done a good honest job and that
the lumber was furnished by the
Arvada Lumber Co. and it is also
wei! selected material.
All around we believe the school
district has gotten value received
in these two buildings, which are
neat and would make a good
school house anywhere in the dis
trict. Let US not, however, just
sit down and fold our arms and
conclude that the school problem
is forever solved. Conditions are
only temporarily relieved.
The next step is to get the sur
rounding districts interested in a
union High School. Let all join
together and build the kind of a
school that will complete he
education of our children as COM
fortably and as efficiently as could
be done in any community.

Bank Robbers Make
A Second Attempt

~ second attempt W lop Ille
First National Bank was made
about 1890 last night, but again
the robbers plans failed.
Roy Staley, who sleeps in the
rear room of the bank had work
ed until ten o'clock and then
went to bed. At that time the
basket ball team was practicing
upstairs. At 1890 he was a
Weakened by a peculiar sound and
listening he heard an augur
grinding its way through the
thin board partition that separ
ates the banking room proper
from the rear room which is now
empty. He watched and saw the
bit shove through the wall and
be Immediately withdrawn. He
then gave an Indian war whoop
which caused the robbers to get
out of the room thru the back
window by which they had en-
tered, and beat it,"
Roy then telephoned to Peter
sons pool hall for Night Marshal
Boehmer and he was not there.
He then called up the Davis
Garage and Mr.. Weber went
out and found him. E. l.. New
comb also came to the rescue
with his car and the chase began.
In the meantime Marshal Towns
lev had been routed Out of bed
and Joined in. The robbers We're
traced down the railroad track
to w. 9th St, thence north and
across Squier Welsh's lawn, on
west to the factory corner, then
north two hundred yards to an
automobile standing beside the
road. There We're three men,
Judging from the tracks in the
snow. The car tracks were fol
lowed down thru Griffith and on
out thru a by-Street to Wads-
worth and over to 44th, where it
turned towards Denver, and there
the trace was lost.
Roy also telephoned for Sheriff
Dennis, who came down as soon
as he could. but up to this writ
ing no clew has been found as to
who the robbers may be.
1t may have been amateurs or
else it may be that they have an
an accomplice living here in Ar
vada, who knows the lay of the
ground.
They possibly thought Roy
Staley had gone to Denver, as he
sometimes does, or they may
have thought they could bore
thru the board partition at the
mead of his bed while the noise
was going on upstairs and chic
reform him and the rest would
be easy.
The First National Bank, of
course, is well protected by burg
lar insurance, but they will use
every effort to foil the attempt
of this gang. it may be, which
has designs on this bank.

New Year Party
for ArVada Library

TOT A[vaQa Library
The Arvada public library will
have a New Year party. Thi S
was decided upon at the COM
mittee meeting Tuesday night
The committee Of ladies from
the Parent Teachers Associa-
ton told the Community club of
the struggle the ladies have made
the past year in order that the
young people, especially, of Ar
vada, could have books to read.
The ladies have given much of
their time in keeping the library
open on two afternoons and one
evening each week for the en-
change of books.
They have been very selfsacri-
ficing in this respect and have
done much for the community
but now they are up against the
proposition of securing new
books.
The supply they have has gone
the rounds and it is necessary
for them to get new ones-t that
is some Of the later works of
fiction, etc,
SO the plan was hit upon Mon
day evening to have a Christ
mas tree" for the library, that
is, to have a day when all who
will may contribute book to the
library by taking or sending it to
the town hall.
Many have books or magazines
already which they can readily
spare, and those who have not,
when they are doing their Xmas
shopping can buy secondhand
books if they wish, very cheaply.
Think how little it will be for
you to do and yet when thirty or
forty do the same how much it
it will mean for the library.
If you do not see fit to donate
a book, if you can spare the equi.
valent in cash the committee will
receive the money and purchase
the book.
If you contemplate giving any
money, see either Mrs. F. d..
Hutchings, Mrs. E. l.. Foster,
Mrs. f. l.. Newcomb Mrs. Theo-
dore Simms or Prof. Drake.

one is invited.

however, was a discussion of the
conditions relative to the new
tramway service. President
Maloney stated that it was his
understanding that the cars
would begin running uptown
during the current week, but he
wss not 50 sure that a waiting
station would be completed right
away. However, he said he
would see Mr.. Hid, head of the
tramway, and see just what
would be done.
Hon. Wesley Staley, chairman
Of the utility committee was re-
Quested to go before the town
board and request that steps be
taken to put in a cross walk right
away, leading to the railroad
crossing, and to have the railroad
company put in a walk across
their right of way.
Several ladies', representing
the Parent Teachers association
were present to hear the plan
for Carnegie library.
President Maloney stated that
he had been in touch with Mr..
Hadley, Mr.. Carncgie's library
representative in Denver and
found that Arvada could qualify
for a library if so disposed.
Of course these libraries are
placed where they will be appre-
ciated. and it is first necessary
for a town to show that it has a
population either within the cor
porate limits or in the immediate
vicinity to warrant the expendi.

the civic pride, and in fact, the
general community life.
A committee from the Com
munity club was appointed, con-
sisting of DR.. Russell, A. H..
Barth and w. w. Moberly
to meet with the executive COM
mittee of the Parent-Teachers,
to go into the details of the plan
and draft 4 letter to Mr.. Carne-
gie's secretary in New York, set
ting forth Arvada's qualifica-
tons and putting it in a position
to receive an offer from the lib
rary bureau.
OF course, there are some OBJ
legations the community or town
would have to assume. For in
stance, a suitable lot would have
to be donated and 10 per cent of
the cost of the building would
have to be raised each year for
maintenance. Some Of this could
be raised from the school district
levy and the balance would have
to be raised by levy from the
town proper.
Arvada would probably be en-
titled to a $40, 900 building. so
ten per cent would mean 81, 600.
This money would be used for
maintenance and the employment
of a librarian.
These buildings are usually Of
white or gray stone and are very
beautiful in design and would add
much to the appearance of our
town.
Littleton is Just completing one
and .GIobcville is taking great
pride in its library which was
built a year or SO ago.
OF course there will be many
obstacles to overcome If Arvada
should acquire one Of these lib.
raries. and the same obstacles
that have kept our schools back
will keep this back, more than
