to Enterprise with the lungmotor
but Phelps had died from his injur-
les rather than from drowning, as
it was first thought.
Mr. Phelps was AZ years of age
and leaves a wife and six children,
three sons and three daughters, one
month-old baby. He has resided
in Enterprise the past four years,
coming there from Herington and
purchasing the Staatz store. The
sympathy of the entire community
goes out to the family in their sad
loss Mr. Benham is an engineer
employed at the mills.
The news of the accident quickly
spread over the little town and in a
few minutes hundreds lined the
banks and bridges, viewing the scene
of the calamity.
Water to the depth of twelve in
ches was flowing over the dam. The
boat floated broadside to the brink

same time to the rocks and depth

now serving in the schools, were
not elected owing to their expressed
desire for a little further time be-
fore accepting an election for the
coming year.
1t was the sentiment of the board
though informally expressed, that
now and hereafter preference be
given in matters of election and
salary to teachers with the largest
possible preparation. Work in col
lege, normal school and university,
and the possession of a state life
certificate will hereafter receive
recognition as indicated above.
Superintendent Stacey has al
ready been elected for the coming
year and there is every promise of
another most successful year for
the Abilene schools.
Prof ]. w. French will go to
New York City for a six weeks
course, July 10 to August IS, in
pedagogy and education at Colum-
bia University, Americas foremost
school of education. Others are con-
advanced summer work at
different universities.

COPPER SPECULATION HERE
The Dealer i'm Junk is Becoming the
Man of the Hour

Copper speculation is thriving in
Abilene as well as in Wall street
with her fabously rich brokers and
"curbstone" spectators. One man
bought an old battered copper boiler
at a public farm sale for slips,
brought it to town and sold it to
T. j. McInerney for $2.6S, at the
rate of 15c a pound, the present
price of that metal, since it has ad-
vanced 100 per cent, due to the
great demand created by the muni-
tion and armor factories.
Not only has copper advanced in
great proportions, but zinc is worth
three times as much as it was year
ago at 2 1-3c pound. With a great
scarcity of material for papers, the
rag man is the man of the hour,
with old rags at 1c a pound, worth
100 per cent more than they were
two years ago. Old paper is in great
demand but the present price does
not warrant investment Of money in
a paper baler to successfully and
profitably buy and sell.
Mr. McInerney says the steel
market, in its great boom is so
crowded with old metal that the
price has lowered 81 a ton. Even
with the automobile and its solid
and pneumatic tires coming into
greater use. the price paid for old
tire castings has declined in the
past year, &c a pound being the
present price compared to &c a
year ago.
Mr.. McInerney is the largest buy
er and seller of old iron. rags, rub
Der, steel. aluminium and copper in
Abilene and he ships a carload a.
month of what is commonly termed
junk, but what is becoming a real
commodity in the present age OF
efficiency and prevention Of econo-
mic waste. Aluminium Is by far the

CAMPAIGN MEETS WITH SUCCESS
NJ. G. Butterfield Canvassing All
Auto Owners Along Route

The Golden Belt Road associa
tion's campaign for permanent mem
bership is meeting with success
with M. G. Butterfield visiting every
town and city along the route, al
the following taken from the Kan.
sas City Times will indicate:
The Golden Belt highway is max.
ing a fight for recognition.
Claiming the shortest, straightest,
easiest grade road between Kansas
City and Colorado, a road through
the heart of the wheat country, It is
going after its share Of the tourist
travel. M. G. Butterfield of abb
lene, Kan, its acting secretary, ar
rived in Kansas City in pursuance
Of his campaign to get a thousand
Kansans interested as paying boost
ers of the road.
If we can get our share of the
travel the counties through which 1t
runs will see that the road is as
good or better than any road lead
ng to Colorado" he said. I'VE want
10 mark the trail at once right up
% the union station"
Mr.. Butterfield said that the Col
len Belt road had every tine bridge
in" from Kansas City to Denver
nd Colorado Springs. It had fewer
urns and as good a roadbed as
here was to the west, he asserted.
He also called attention to the ,
ther advantages of the road. 1t I
caches Fort Riley A bill is ,
ending now in congress to appro- {
riate 100000 for rocking the !
olden Belt road through the Fort q
Hey reservation. The route Of the q
bad out Of Kansas City is through '
onner Springs, Lawrence. Topeka, n
bilene. Salina, Russell, Oakley,
olby, Goodland, and thence over 7
le north route to Denver and by
branch to Colorado Springs.
Mr.. Butterfield presented his plan
the Mercantile club on the Kan d
IS side.

half a dozen business enterprises.
When the Chamber of Commerce
was organized he was the unani-
nous choice for its president. He
has served as president of the Com
mercial club, is president of the
Automobile club and gives enough
time to boosting Abilene through all
sorts of deather to double his wealth
If he devoted it to business. But
he is born that way and would
rather take part in a public meeting
for the towns good than anything
else.
For It's a mighty good town
the best town in Kansas" he keeps
saying abilene has before 1t in
creasing prosperity" he remarked
at his office today. "The experiment
period has passed and we are build
ing right. hope to see it secure
the things that go into the making
of real city. We need a park, a
new hotel and public spirit that
will rise above personal ends for the
,itys good. The people of Abilene
AN go ahead just as far as they will
md 1t is up to us whether we are
atisfied with what we have or live
lp to our opportunities. In the
Ieart of the richest section of Amer
ca and with a rich county around
IS we have everything in our favor"
