A Wide Awake NucIa,

Several times the question has
arisen as to the apparent discrepancy
between the reports in the two local
papers regarding the new high school
building at Nucla as it appeared last
week on the day the business men
made the first run over the new road
to that town. One says the cement
foundation was laid and they expected
to erect modern building while the
other papers states that it is nearly
compelled and describes the structure
We explain the difference in this way:
The people of Nucla are a hustling lot
Sergeant Brown, who reported to the
Independent. visited the site imme-
diately on the arrival of the party and
found only the foundation laid. Mr.
Watts of the Tribune, visited it later
in the day. when he found the walls

The ladies have very generously
expended time and money in making
housewives for the soldiers and now
have completed sixty-six. The idea is
to have each Colorado boy supplied
with one of these useful articles. and
anyone who wishes may have a house

housewife before sending II. While
tfe expense of equipping one house
wife is not large. the undertaking of
purchasing the eouipment for sixty-six
was little more than the ladies' felt
equal to after buying the materials.
The housewives NAV be obtained at
