Story Unfounded

A story has been generally cir
culated to the effect that our dog
was bitten sometime ago by the
mad dog that bit the child of Mr..
and Mrs. Earl Newcomb, causing
the death Of the little one. and
that we were wholly disregard
ing the welfare of the community
by not getting rid of such men.
ace.
The fact that we have three
children of our own should be
sufficient denial of the truth of
such a statement, but did we not
have these little lives to guard
and protect we should still feel
that it was incumbent upon US to
remove such a danger from our
midst and we would not hesitate
to meet the necessity Of this con-
dition.

The demand among Lyceum commit
tees everywhere for quartet Of Ia
dies who, In addition to being vocalists,
are versatile upon orchestral lnstru-
mcnts has been insistent during recent
years. Few demands of the Lyccum
have been more difficult to fill. which
accounts for the small number of such
companies now on the Redpath list.
A company may be found which has
the requirements for an instrumental
program. but not good vocalists. and

Minges Made Good
Record on Board

mo. SuOulu take careful nOllCS
Of the facts pertaining to the
work that has been done by the
present school board during the
past year.
The first problem with which
it was confronted last fall was to
supply room for the increased en-
rollment. After the bonds had
been voted down. the Board con-
ceiveG the idea of building two
one-room buildings to take care
Of, the increase and relieve the
congestion in the high school.
Pupils in the high school were
using the dark and damp base e.
ment, and something had to be
done. Some opposition was met
in the tax commission, that body
refusing at first to grant the
Board permission to levy enough
taxes to build any buildings at
all. The obstacle was finally
overcome and this the Board be-
gan to build.
Two fine rooms were put up on
the old school house grounds and
they have been entirely satIsfac
tory during the past year.
The 7th and Sth grades were
moved from the upper floor to
the first floor Of the high school
building and the high school now
occupies the entire upper floor,
a new laboratory was installed
on the upper lloorand this labor
atory is a credit to the school,
being by far the best in Jciler
son county.
The old laboratory in the base
ment has been fitted up for show
ing lantern slides. 1t makes &
very excellent place for such pm
poses.
An extra teacher, giving one
half day to the commercial sui
jects was added to the corps.
All these things have been don
towards increasing the cllicienc
Of the school by the prescn
Board and the expense will all h
met by the tax levy for the yea
and surplus will be left. Th
Board spent many days and e,
Jennings working out all thes
things and they deserve grea
credit for it all. Not for man
years has there been the cor
StructiYc progress made in GU
school and its equipment as ha
been done in the past year.
A good many obstacles wcr
encountered in many ways bu
the Board succeeded in carryin
out every plan it attempted.
The business management ha
been above suspicion and ha
been very efficient. Harmon

Community Club
Cleanup Meeting

interesting special meeting last
Monday evening principally to
arrange for clean up day" and
incidentally to hear what Earl
Candy had to offer relative to his
proposal to put on grand pa
geant and exposition at Arvada,
July End, 3rd, and 4th.
The cleanup arrangements
were, first-a committee appoin.
ted to see to it that the town is
put in fine shape, by asking the
residents to clean up the trash in
their back yards and place it in
the alleys or in the streets (where
there is no alley)so that the city
teams can haul it off. The school
children will be asked to volun-
teer their services, as they do in
Denver, to clean up the vacant
lots in the same manner.
The committee or this work
was selected from the various
parts Of town, and is as follows:
Chairman-W. w. Moberly,
West end-Josiah Maloney. Tn 60.
N. Simms. G. C. Townsley. J. C.
Munal, H. S. Burton; Central
part H. S. Burton, W. H. Kaler,
H. H. Gregg. A. H. Barth, DR..
Russell; East end. DR.. E. l..
Foster, C. M. Danford, Wesley
Staley, T. c. Hurst. Ralston
Avenue, DR.. Loberg, F. C. Muir
Gibson, j. P. Olson, and J. M.
King.
The members Of this committee
will be expected to talk with their
neighbors about this and no one
should take offence when they are
asked to cooperate in cleaning up
and beautifying the town. The
town teams will be ready to haul
the trash away on Saturday, May
18th, and all this work must be
done previous to that time.
Don't forget the date and be
ready.
The parade committee for CO.
operating with Denver next Sat-
urday. is A. }. Recht, chairman
and Josiah Maloney, A. l.. Davis,
4. o. Graves, and w. 2. Smith.
The committee HAS met with
much success. \
Mr.. Candy of Denver, who has
been in the amusement business
for eighteen years and Mr.. Miller
who is man of reputation for
scenic productions and street
decorating, lighting etc, were
listened to and after going into
their proposition the club decided
that it would be a grand thing
and thought it would be advisable
to have a mass meeting in Barth's s
hall to hear Mr.. Gandy's plans
for grand pageant and exposi.
tion on July End 3rd and 4th.
A tract Of land from seven to
ton acres is required on which to
stage the attraction which will be
in the nature of the exposition
given in Denver year ago only
on smaller scale, except that
the entertainment features will
be changed every day. Mr..
Candy has at his command the
very best theatrical talent for this
part of the program.
Concessions will be sold, such
as Ferris wheels, Merry.go.
arounds, clean sidh shows etc,
All sorts Of exhibits of poultry
and produce will be had and
prizes awarded.
A wide publicity will be given
to the three day affair in Denver
and broad c,st and it is calcula-
ted that the three days attrac
ton should bring $500 to 10000
thousand people to Arvada.
The location will probably be
on the vacant ground on Ralston
Avenue opposite Hiram Browns
place, as this seems the most
suitable place.
