Oberon Springs May
Offer Great Opportunity

We believe the citizens of Ar
vada and vicinity are to be con-
graduated upon the prospect for
the erection and operation of the
newly projected artificial tunnel
baths at the Oberon mineral
springs north of this city The
enterprise is one that should en-
nance the value of every parcel
of real estate in the vicinity. 1t
would advertise Arvada as a
foot hill resort close to the capt.
tai city, where equally eifaca-
cious treatment for rheumatism
and kindred ailments may be
had. as can be obtained at any
other springs in this country.
1t would afford a market for
garden and dairy products and
will mean a much larger volume
of business for every merchant.
Idaho Springs would be scarce
lV more than Il haltdcserted
mining camp were 1t not tor.
her mineral springs. The latter
have been extensively advertised
for the past two or three years,
and the result is that during the
summer season at least, the ac-
commodations are scarcely ade-
Quate to care for he throng of
visitors. Our neighboring city
is a very pretty place in the sum-
mer time, but has the disadvan-
tage of being at too high an al
titude for many invalids who go
there.
Arvada has many advantages
over her sister city; in that it
may be reached by a short ride
from the metropolis, at but Il
small cost for car fare; fresh
eggs, butter and milk in aDun-
dance; the best of grass fed beef
and other meats, and an unlim-
tied supply of vegetables fresh
from the ground, and all kinds
of fruit in season. The altitude
is not so high as to affect the
heart action of the invalid, and
the climatic conditions as to
healthful zone are much better
than in the mountains or On the
plains. according to physicians.
If our citizens would get to-
gether we might have a hotel at
| Arvada, and then be in position
to care for all who may desire to
take the baths, or who prefer a
quiet location for rest and recre-
"tion, rather than going to. Il
sanltarium. A motor bus could
be operated between the hotel
and the bath houses, which will
be but triile more than a mile
from town. ~
The enthusiastic support of
every property holder and citi-
zen Of Aryada should be given
the new bath enterprise, not
only because the mineral water s
are, according TO analysis, of eX-
traordinary medicinal qualities,
bit because it will benefit Arva-
uI IN every way; increase real
estate values and business in
every line; advertise Il resort at
the very back door of Denver
and one that is easily accessible.
The hotel proposition should be
looked into and see if plans
could not be made to get one of
some kind located here.
This may seem triiling TO
some, but we believe there are
great possibilities in these newly
discovered springs for Arvada
and vicinity.

crates on Statute

Inc town board. met IN re2u-
lar monthly session Monday
night and transacted the towns
business with Mayor Davis in
the chair ard all members OF
the board present.
The regular bills were allowed
except that there were no bills
from members Of the board.
This was merely a coincidence as
there was a bill that had been
unintentionally omitted by Evans
& Bennett.
City Attorney Geo. B. Camp
bell again entered protest "a
gainst members Of the board do
ing work or selling commodities
to the city, claiming that it was
plainly in violation of the stat
utes. 1T is not because any
member Of the board has ever
robbed the town of a penny"
said Mr.. Campbell, that make
this protest, but because if we
violate the statutes it gives H.
cense to others to do the same
thing and already | havs been
reminded of it by those who
have violated the speed ordin-
ance and also by other parties
who have been conducting poker
games.
In reference to the case cited
by the Enterprise Mr.. Campbell
claims that Judge Teller's deci-
sion was based upon the fact
that the case was being tried
under one section of the statute
and that it should have been
tried under another. In other
words that the indictment was
quashed because OF Il iega. tech
nicality in the complaint.
After the board had heard his
remarks they We're ia doubt as
to whether to offer their resign
ations at once or TO wait until
they had further light on the
subject. They probably will OBJ
tain other legal advice first.

Harry Does a Little

Harry Muhlenbrock returned

Attorneys Office, and Harry is
some sleuth. He went to find

tempted to tie up his property SO
that his wife could not dispose
of or use it, it is alleged, and his
apprehension and safe landing in

Democrats in Love
Feast at the Adams

! Democrats to the number of 80
participated in a love feast at
the Adams hotel las t Saturday
evening around the banquet
table. Thru an oversight on the
part of the editor Of the Enter
prise (Which we humbly apollo
gize for) full notice of this din
ncr was not given and this ac-
counts, no doubt for many not
being there, as there was no in
tention to overlook any Demo-
crat who would have cared to
attend. The busy season, also
kept number away, who other
wise would have been glad to
attend.
District Attorney Samuel w.
johnson was POSTMASTER and
opened the gabfest, after the
dinner had been served very
generously by the Adams people,
by outlining the object of the
meeting. He spoke of the splen-
did achievement of the Wilson
administration to which the par
ty could point with pride. Of the
splendid unity of spirit in all
quarters of the country, of the
even friendly attitude of many
of the Republicans toward Pres
ident Wilson, and the very fiat
terlng prospect of elccting not
only the national but state and
county tickets. He spoke of the
harmonious feeling that seemed
to prevail all over and particu-
larly in Jefferson county. The
object of the meeting was Just a
love feast" not a get-to-g ethey
as they are already together.

Strawberry Day
Not to Be Given

NoJ Ill al SeAoo' Ills was SSI-
tied positively last Monday night,
when a meeting was held in
Bank hall to perfect the arrange
ments. according to the plans
decided upon at the former
meeting on the Wednesday eve
ming before.
The attendance at the Monday
night meeting was made up of
many who were not there be-
fore and quite a number of these
were business men who We're
either lukewarm regarding the
fete day, or squarely against it.
A general discussion was had
after which vote was taken.
The vote was two to one for the
proposition, but this vote was
made up Of some who could not
be expected to contribute a
great deal towards the fund,
and again many of those who
had taken an active part in the
former Strawberry day were
conspicuous by their absence.
The lack of spirit in the as
sembly was at once apparent
and as soon as the discussion
opened there was not only
apathy shown, but considerable
opposition.
T. c. Hurst led the opposi-
ton, claiming that the same a
mount of money expended on
the road between here and Den
yer, would result in much more
permanent good 10 the town,
however, if it was decided to
have it he would do his share.
DR.. Foster was not strong for
it as it entaiied a great deal of
work and as he saw it did not
bling the class of people that
was calculated to be of much
permanent benefit.
H. J. Juchem said he was
lukewarm on the proposition,
but if the rest wanted to have i,
he would do his part. He
thought, however, that the
strawberries which were coming
in were hardly up to the Arvada
standard.
G. M. Duncan was strenuous
ly opposed to it as it entailed so
much work and his company did
not feel that it could take on the
extra work and contribute funds
at this time.
G. K. Buck was neutral, and
merely came up in Mr.. Staley's
place. From what Mr.. Staley
had told him before leaving for
St Louis he did not believe he
was particularly strong for it.
Mr.. Ullery stated that his SEN
timents had been expressed by
the others.
f. l.. Newcomb was willing to
do his share if it was had and
was neutral in the matter.
j. 7. Kennedy said his senti-
ments had been expressed by
the other speakers.
U. G. Griffith was neutral.
II. Garfien was neutral.
j. F. White was very cnthusi-
astic for the day and was willing
to go down in his pocket little
deeper rather than to call on
those who opposed it. He
thought it was a good thing for
the town.
Josiah Maloney, president of
the Community Club, was very
enthusiastic speaker. MIR. Ma.
loney knows the fundamental
principles of advertising from
A. to Z. and he saw in this dem.
onstration three u four thousand
dollars worth vi advertising Ar.
