INVESTORS L00kIoG
TOWARD COLORADO

inquiry being received by the Stare
Doard of Enumeration indicates a strorp Q
drslre on the part of people of consid-
erable means in all parts of the country
for opportunities to invest in mining
property, where there is reasonable as
surance of at least fair income from
the investment and good chance that
large profits may be made. This IN
qury has been stimulated by the large
profits that have been made in mining
since the beginning of the European
war, and is being made stronger every
day by the prevailing high prices of ali
minerals, both metal and non-metal,
that are mined to any considerable ex-
tent in the Rocky mountain states.
To meet this demand and to eneOur-
age the development of the mining in
dustry in Colorado at time when con-
ditions are peculiarly favorable, the
board Of immigration is now completing
copy for a small pamphlet on the min
ing industry and mining prospects IN
the state. 1t will not be technical
booklet, but plain statement, such ~
any one can understand, Of what has
been accomplished in the mining In
dustry in the state, and some indication,
based on Official government reports, Of
what may be expected for the fntsss.
1t will be nothing more than = fair,
conservative introduction to the mining
industry in Colorado, meant for distri-
button to those who are seeking initial
information about opportunities for in
vestment in mining districts.
By meaas Of this booklet the board
hopes to attrsss the attention and fix
the interest Of prospective investors, and

TILE CHAUTAUQUA

The sessions of the Standard Lyceunl
and Chautauqua system were brought
to a close last Sunday evening after a
most inspiring week of entertainment
and education which our people verT
much enjoyed.
Those who sought recreation found
it; those in search of knowledge were
not disappointed, while the lovers of
music were highly entertained by the
musical numbers found on the program.
The inspiring lectures of Hon. Law
renee B. Strnger and DR.. L. B. Wicker
sham were either of them worth the
appreciate excellent thought and sound
advice and who seek, to have their
thoughts take hold on the best things
in life. .....
Every number was good although
some were better than others, depending
very much upon the individual taste
of the auditors. ... ...
Perhaps the most popular feature OF
the whole program was the work of
Miss Munson with the children. Miss
Munson is a real favorite with Glen
wood mothers and their children and
all hope for her return next year.
The attendance at the various ses
sions was very satisfactory, so much SO
that at the close a petition was signed
for return of the company next year,
with guarantee by almost a hundred
subscribers.
Great credit is due to the local com
nittee, headed by DR.. Riddle, for the

They were a genial lot, refined and

to keep out of further trouble

Adolph P. Caillet was bora - France
isieAteen yeazs-seo and later his par
ents rempved to this country bringisg
with them their young Son, who u the
central figure Of this story. The alien
father was killed in mine some years
after, thus leaving little AdoIph still a
citizen of France.
Not thinking it well to be alone in
foreign land his mother married
again, but again Adolph was gwen a
father from another country and when
the call to arms came, the call of the
great and glorious nation that he hat
learned to love so well, Adolph longed
to respond to the bugle's blaSt-to don
| the uniform and sail the seas in the
great ships of the only monarchs ne
| knows-America and Justice
But he was an alien by birth, no
matter how loyal in heart, and way
must be made, so he came from his
little mining home at Sunlight for the
physician to pass upon him and as he
had grown to fine and sturdy manhood
amidst the hills of Colorado, he stood
the test.
Will Fate step in his pathway now?
"Only eighteen too young to take
out naturalization papers, we cannot
grant them until You are twenty-one
| and ono alien born can enter the U.
S. navy" Must he 20 back to the
hills and valleys, with only his longing
and disappointment, while others stride
the decks Of ironclad war ships, listen
ing to the battle cry Of men and the
laundering of canon that are defending
his native land, the once beautiful but
now devastated France, and also the
land whose son he so desires to be? No,
way was made open unto him, an
American born citizen and his wife
were willing to adopt this son of our
ally ana SO he has gone to Grand juno
tion to take the second test and from
there to Denver.
Who can tell what this lad may do
or what he may achieve2 He may
come home to his land of adoption with
bars and stars and he may 60 down
beneath the cold waters of the ocean,
or his life blood may stain the already
blood soaked land Of France, but what
ever it Is to be let d hope the man
and woman, Mr.. and Hrs. Il. ". Smith,
will never have cameo to blush for the
deeds of their adopted son, 'Adolph p.

LOUIS SCHWARz
LAID TO REST

Las. Sunday afternoon the funeral OF
the late Louis Schwarz was held from
the family residence at the corner CT
Ninth and Bennett. The attendance
was exceptionally large, showing the
high esteem in which the deceased cit
izen was held. Many citizens of Eagle
county, the. residence of Mr.. Schwarz
for the past several years, were present.
Rev, Edwin johnson, rector of St.
Barnabas Episcopal church, had charge
of the services at the house.
The Knight Templars, the Masons
and the Odd Fellows lodges each at
tended in a body and in lodge regalia.
The pail bearers, selected from the
personal friends and business associates
of Mr.. Schwarz, were: W. s. Parkison,
H. E. VanSyckel, John Welsh, w. H..
Clark, E. E. Lucas and W. H. Trumbor.
The floral tributes, attesting the esteem
and affection in which Mr.. Schwarz
was held in the community, were lavish
and beautiful. s
Interment was in the Glenwood Gem
etery and ritualistic services Of the
Masonic fraternity were used at the
grave,
1t was q sad day for Glenwood when
all that was mortal Of this geod man
and splendid citizen was consigned to
the tomb.

Will Take Sides With United
States in Her Fight
Against the Kaiser
CANADIANS FORWARD

Brazil is no longer a neutral in the
world war and the German empire has
another enemy arrayed against it.
Having previously revoked its policy
of aloofness, so far as it affected the
hostilities between the United States
and Germany, Brazil now has come def
initely into the open and announced
that it can no longer be considered
neutral
Although no announcement has been
made as to whether the South American
republic will actually enter into hostili-
ties by its revocation of neutrality it
definitely aligns itself morally on the
side of the United States and the
entente.
The Canadians have taken another
hack at the German lines protecting
Lens, and have been rewarded with
further encroachment upon their OBJ
jective.
Striking on two-mile front south of
Lens, they stormed and captured Ger
man first line positions before Avioa
and also the village of Leauvette. They
defeated in their onslaughts men Of the
crack Prussian guard and the fifth
Grenadier guards, whose machine gun
and rifle fire and the fact that the
attacking force had to cut through wire
could not stay them.
When the battle ended and the Cana
dians began their work OF consohdat-
ling newly won positions their line had
Fs,eep extended " With. saA.,nils-e -ef4tAe
center of Lens, the fall Of which under
such tenacious assaults as have been
made recently seemingly cannot be lorg
delayed.
On the front in France and Belgiuln
there have been only bombardments.
South of st. Georges the Germans en-
tered French trenches, but later were
elected from them suffering heavy
casualties
In the Russian theater the fighting
still is spirited in Galicia.
In the -Austro-Italian zone infantry
attacks have again ceased for the mo-
ment and only artillery daels are taking
place. Patrol engagements and artir-
lery duels continue TO feature the
fighting in Macedonia.

what mining district they are especially
interested in. After this is done the
board will then rurn the prospects over
to such local organizations and persons
as can give them the special technical
information they need regarding any
property in which they may become in
terested.
In the past year the board has
brought more than 100000 in invest.
ments to the state, chiefly to the rural
districts. 1t believes that, by sys-
tematic and conservative campaign, it
can bring double this amount to the
state for investment in mining before
the end of 1918.

honor roll. We are informed that
nearly every family in the county is
represented on the roll. This means
that the workers during Red Cross
Week deserve to be honored by the cit.
liens of the county in making it pos.
sible for them to have the privilege OF
contributing to the great cause. They
worked hard and enthusiastically and
gave Garfield county the privilege of
saying to the world that she was doing

When the final returns are in, these
figures will probably vary Some, but
there seems to be no question at this
time that the full allotment for the
county has been raised.
In addition to the above contribu-
tions, Mr.. 1ssc Koch, who has been
stopping in Glenwood Springs for some
time has informed local Red Cross rep.
resentatives that he intends to purchase
an ambulance suitable for service with
the American army in foreign fields.
the cost of which fully equipped will
probably be between one and two
thousand dollars. Mr.. Koch left for
the east Friday. AS soon as the pur.
chase is made, he will inform the local
Red Cross chapter and make such ar
rangements as are necessary with the
Washington headquarters to insure
Glenwood Springs and vicinity being
credited with the contribution. Mr..
and Mrs. Koch both feel that their
contribution to the Red Cross should
be through the local chapter. During
their stay in Glenwood they have be-
come very much attached to its beau
ties. They were also much impre essed
with the zeal and loyalty of its citi-
zens as displayed during Red Cross
Week in the national campaign.
At the close of Monday evening it
appeared that Garfield county had
failed to raise her quota, but as soon
as the other districts began sending in
returns, the local campaign office were
rejoieed to find that the rest of the
county for the most part were uphold
ing their share of the contributions.
Rife, Grand Valley and Silt report
amounts considerably over their allot-
nents, in addition to Glenwood Springs.
1t WAS a glorious ending to q very
strenuous and enthusiastic campaign.
On Monday evening the Orpheum Or
ehestra under the leadership of Miss
Margaret Carr gave 5 cent dance for
the benefit of the Red Cross War Fund
$50 was raised in this manner. Miss
Carr and the other members Of the
orchestra deserve to be highly commen-
aed for their beneficent efforts in be-
hah Of the Red Gross. The dancers

Work Of Mercy
GLENWOOD LEADS LIST

Last Monday saw the close Of Red
Cross Week and the close Of a cam
paign that means much to the Ameri-
can soldiers. The results of the cam
paign to raise the Red Cross War fund
will be source of great pride to ev-
cry citizen, for it shows how truly We
are all striving to stand together in the
great war.
Like the Liberty Bond loan, the
amount asked for has been more than
made up, showing conclusively that the
people all over the country are willing
to back the government in the war
against the kaiser.
1t is with great deal of thankful
ness and rejoicing that we learn that
Garfield county in common with the
rest of the country has more than
raised the amount allotted to it. The
amount the county was requested to
raise was placed at $12,6S0, which was
supposed to have represented dollar
per capita. However, the best sources
of information claim only little over
10000 population for the county, so we
can feel justly proud of having ex-
ceedod the, allotment by such a con-
siderable amount.
