son, Tom Howard, Father Carrigan, H.
G. Overlook, Elmer Underwood, G. w.
Darrow, R. G. Alfred and Senator d.
M. Campbell of Pueblo.
Senator Campbell was fair in his re-.
marks and tried not to discuss the
question as to its bearing on Glenwood,
but it was plain to he seen that he
was not much in favor Of the commits
sion plan for Pueblo, although he ad-
mitted that conditions were better
than before the system was adopted in
his city, but maintained that it was
not due to the commission but to tho
fact that the people were better.
All other speakers except Tom How
ard and Darrow were favorable to the
commission-manager form or at least to
a new charter.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT

Judge Charles Cavender of Leadvills
has been sitting for Judge Shumate in
the district court this week or rather
since Wednesday morning and the en-
tire time has been occupied by the
very complicated case of Minnie B..
Coryell, The Garfield County Coal and
Fuel Company and B. T. Napier as re-
ceiver for said company versus The
Coryell Mine Leasing Company, The
Garfield County Mine Leasing Com
pany and the First National Bank of
Glenwood Springs. Senator D M.
Campbell of Pueblo and Kingsbury d,
Mayes are attorneys for the plaintiffs
while Harry Silverstein and J. V. Sick
man of Denver and G. w. Darrow OF
this city represent the defendants.
The lawyers all admit that the case
is badly tangled and complicated, but
the gist of the case is that the plain
titfs are suing for an accounting and
for royalties on coal mined under lease
from the Vulcan mine and nearby prop
critics at New Castle.
The case is being argued as the Post
goes to press. t
It is probable that the quo warranto
case of Rosenberg VS.. Dickson, involv-
ing the office of irrigation division en-
gineer, will be argued on pleadings be-
fore Judge Cavender today and posi-
bly, may reach a hearing before the
day is over.

room for the apparatus. Behind this
room will be the room for the firemen
with bath room. In the rear is the
city jail. In the center of the build
ing will be the tower for drying out
the fire hose. The building will be
heated by hot water. 1t is intended
to place city scales in front on Grand

The cost of this building will not
exceed $1,000 and will be paid for as
it is constructed, so that when it is
finished not a cent of debt will be
against it.
The city will be able to concentrate
all their equipment under one roof and
the diffetnt departments will have
plenty of room for years. to come.
1t has been thought better to build
along these lines than to wait until
the finances of the city would allow

shortly before that date, rockies" In
the various outfits of the guard will
have to be content with cotton suits.
That is all the state has on hand.
THE department. because of the
equipping of the new armies, notified
us that our acquisitions were cancelled
for the time being. but that we should
re-enter them June 49, said Colonel
Rogers. The state has on hand some
hats. some leggings and plenty OF cot
ton suits, which we will ship by ex.
press to those units. We bought a
lot of shoes in the open market SO
that we have them.
THE whole proceeding is only
temporary and perhaps would not have
been noticed had not the Detroit com
panies demanded some time ago full
wool uniforms. i had to tell them
to send me a requisition for cotton.
In that way the cancellation of the
war department became public proper
ty. There is no accession for any alarm.

wool by the time II wants us to have
it, 1t is almost time for cotton now

The possibility that many OF the
large number OF Michigan citizens
who are planting potatoes this season
for the first time may attempt tc
plant new potatoes has induced tubel
specialists of the Michigan Agricultur

potatoes, they say, must be allowed
a resting period OF at least four weeks
before they can be safely planted.
Citizens can render service at this
time" the potato men say, "if they
will buy for table use the new south

will relieve the demand on the sup
