High School Pupils Made =
Big Hit With Legislature

Wednesday evening last week
forty pupils of the 5th, 9Th, 7th
and Sth grades of the Arvada
schools. who had been selected
at the request Of DR.. Flynn, au-
thor of the Columbine song, went
to the House Of Representatives
to sing the above song in COM
petition with other songs that
We're before the legislature.
The children came on the
speakers platform last and took
the whole assembly by stocm.
After the singing of all the songs
before the House, a vote was
taken.
One representative after an
.otber gave expression to the
beauty and effectiveness of the
children's singing.
One representative remarked
that he had taught school for %
years, and knew what it meant
to have Il body of children train
ed like these children. therefore.
he voted for the kids.
Many We're the remarks Of
praise for the beautiful rendition
of the song. 1t was an event in
the lives of the children that they
wal never forget.
A car on the tramway was
chartered to take the children,
parents and friends down and
all enjoyed the affair.
DR.. Flynn is going to give a
copy Of the song to each OF the
children who took part in the
singing.
Mr.. johnson and the teachers
deserve much credit for the train
ing Of the pupils in singing.

the work in grand style
All will meet at Grange hall at

Barth hall where the work will
be put on because of more suit
able room and also the refresh.
ments will be served there with
n great deal more convenience
and comfort
A large crowd is expected and
all Grangers are invited.
There is a bare possibility that
the Clear Creek Gra nge will build
a hall in the near future and if
they do, it may solve Arvada' S
auditorium problem for some
time to come. It would be a pay
ing proposition we believe, for
the Grange, TO say nothing Of the
great advantage it would be to
people Of this community.

Subsequently the Royces moved

Royce outlived him several years
retaining along with her facnlties

Chuck" Maioney had an eX-
perience a week ago Friday even
ing which he will remember for
a long time. He had been call
ing on a young lady at the Juchem
ranch and was driving home and
near the tramway crossing a man
stepped out from the side of the
road and grabbedrhis horses bit.
He then ordered Chuck" to get
out of the rig quickly. The
young man, who is still in his
teens, started to obey, but just
then the holdup mans attention
was attracted elsewhere. for
Kaiser, the family bull dog,
had accompanied the rig and at
this juncture he had something to
say. He lunged at the holdup
man and soon had him going
down the roadGat a rapid gate.
"Chuck drove on and pretty
soon he heard shots fired and the
next morning the faithful bull
dog came home with "a bullet
wound in his back, which proved
to be emily a flesh wound.
Word was received from the J,

Sugar Beet Dump
for Arvada


can be contracted for in this
vicinity.
At a special meeting Of the
Arvada Community club last
Monday evening three represent
atives of the Western Sugar
company. Messrs John Maier,
Lee Mcmillan and W. F. Short
were present. Mr.. Maier made it
plain that the company is anx-
ious to put a dump here at
Arvada but that it could not af-
ford to go to the expense Of
building and maintaining one
unless they could get at least
200 acres contracted for this year
and that they should really have
250 acres to really make it worth
while.
He explained that there is moth
ing to the talk that is going the
rounds that the company was 60
ing to pay more for beets in 9TH
er sections than here. He said
if the company raise the price
in one locality they will in all.
In proof of this he cited the
fact that 6wo years ago when the
tariff scare was on, the company
contracted beets at $4.75 per ton
and after the scare blew over,
paid $3.50 although the contract
had been for $4.75. He said it
was ii mere matter of business to
treat all alike.
This rumor, said Mr.. Short,
the field man who has been going
among the farmers of this locali-
ty, is keeping some from signing
up. Up until Monday night he
had been able to secure contracts
for only 1876 acres aitho many
others had expressed themselves
as favorable to the industry.
Enough acreage has already
been secured at Bluff station to
guarantee a dump there and if
IS or rs more acres can be secur-
ed here dump will be erected
here. 1t was suggested that at
the Ralston avenue crossing of
the tramway a beet dump might
be built with but very little
trouble. as the elevation is al
ready there. That part of it,
however, is nominal in compari-
son with the securing of acreage.
Quite number Of land owners
were present who, tho they do
not want to engage in raising
beets themselves. are willing to
lease their land for that purpose.
The average yield of sugar
beets is twelve tons per acre altho
in many sections the yield has
gone as high as thirty tons. de-
pending upon the condition of
the soil and the care given the
crop.
Mr.. Short, who is a farmer
near Littleton says he has clear.
ed as high as 500 per acre Off of
beets.
Mr.. Mcmillan Of the Longmont
sugar company met the objection
as to the scarcity Of labor by
assuring the farmers that the
company would overcome that
difficulty by sending contractors
into this vicinity who will hire
boys and clean up the fields by
thinning and hoeing wherever
the owner could not or did not
care to do this work.
The contract price for all the
labor in raising the crop, as we
understand it is $40 per acre.
The contract price for beets at
present is Sc 90 per ton
The rental for good beet land

Agitation Being Made
to Change Scenic Road

Some agitation is being made
by the farmers of Ralston Creek
in an effort to change the route
of the state highway which was
veyed last summer to the
Terrence White road. They
argue this route would accom-.
mOdate more people, as it would
bisecr the Ralston valley, and
that 1t Is IN much better state Of
improvement which would save
considerable expense. The new
route would lead about five miles
west on the Terrence " hite road
thence to Coal creek canon. The
ODeron road was surveyed last
summer with the idea of making
scenic highway by skirting the
north and west edge of the Rails
ton valley, thus overlooking the
vast eXpanse of beautiful fruit
and garden tracts. A committee
composed Of Senator Staley, T..
G. Hurst and Robt. SWadley soil
cited funds a year ago for this
survey with the above idea in
mind and people living along the
proposed route contributed quite
literally and now feel the road
houId not be changed. As for
the business men of Arvada it is
immaterial to them which course
the road takes after it leaves Ar
vada. They We're particular to
see that the road came thru Ar
vada, and after that it was left
largely to the engineers.
If the people living along the
routes can strike compromise
on the new route and can con-
vince the state highway commits
sion that the route should be
changed it will be alright with
the people of Arvada. We sin
cerely trust that there will
be no serious alteration over the
matter between the parties con-
cerned.
