CRIPPLE CREEK TO
PROTECT STAGE LINE

A, resolution providing nat the own
ers of tourist stage lines operating be-
tween Cripple Creek and outside towns
shall pay to the city an annual license
of $3.50 for each car used. was unani-
mously adopted at meeting of the
city council last night. The resolu-
ton is designed to protect the inter
ests of local stage line owners plying
between Cripple Creek. Colorado
Springs and Canon City. During the
tourist season outside parties have
been conducting stage lines to and
from the district. In view of the fact
that the owners of local stage lines
continue their trip summer and wint-
er, the council has taken steps to pro-
tect tEem against the tourist lines.
In order to be effective the resolution
must be followed by an ordinance. II
is expected that an ordinance similar
to the resolution will be passed by the
council at an early date. Local stage
line owners will not be compelled 20
secure license. Cripple Creek

MRS. RUTH MCkINNEY.CRoSBY
APPOINTED.

The friends of Mrs. Ruth McKin-
ney-Crosby are congratulating her
upon her recent appointment as
Supervisor of Music, Writing and
Drawing in the city schools of Fort
Worth, Texas. Information of this
appointment has just reached the
city. Mrs. Crosby for a number of
years was connected with the Ma
tional Baptist Publishing Board, but
was afterwards married to DR.. Cros-
by, graduate Of Meharry Medical
College. They located at Fort Worth.
Mrs Crosby since going to Texas has
been very active in the music of the
various churches, and easily took
first rank in the busy city of Fort
Worth as authority on music. 1t is
said that it was her ability displayed
with the various denominations in
their church life at Fort Worth that
gave her the splendid rating with the
Board of Education, and the splendid
appointment, as it is thought here
that the Educational Board wanted
only church folks to direct the sing
ing of the music by the pupils of it's
schools. In addition to the duties as
directress of music, she will direct
drawing and writing.

Grand Master Moore presented and
explained the plan in the most sim

lows:
CASS A $500, premium $3.50 per
year; CASS B-$150, premium, 81
so per year. He said he regarded
this rs one among the best invest
ments one could make in order to
save something for his family.
He said that the Dad Fellows
must meet competition, with all of
the other orders in the state carry
Ing a death benefit the Odd Fellows
could not live and do less. What
have we to offer a young man to
come into the order il we fail to
adopt the endowment plan? He said
We find that those who are opposing
the plan are members who belong to
, Other orders who claim that they
have all that they can carry, but that
is nfair to the order, and the broth
ers who are not carrying anything in
other orders, to rob the order and
their families of their benefit becase
you are in something else.
He said the salvation of the Odd
Fellows or of the order in this state
lies in the adoption of the plan. For
every thoughtful man wanted to
leave something for his loved ones
when he is gone.
