ROGER ANDERSON DEAD.

One last Sunday at o'clock &C.
Cured the death Of Roger Andcr-
son. % years old, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. @. A. Anderson, Of Thompson
station. Rogers was very popular
young man and liked by all who
knew him.
His death came In a rather trug-
ical manner. He was working on E
large ranch near Evergreen, and was
beiatsd one night in going from one
point to another; coming to an old
cabin, he decided to stop there for
the night. He was taken sick with
pneumonia and lay for two days be-
fore he was discovered by the par.
ties with whom he was working on
the ranch, who did not know what
had become Of him.
He was unconscious when found
and hurriedly taken where medical
aid could be administered. He was
conscious only at short intervals un-
til his death,
The funeral took place from o.
inger's Wednesday afternoon and in
terment WINS made In Grown Hill
cemetery.
The Anderson family have the
sympathy Of the entire community.

DR.. Williams Gives
Pleasing Address

The baccalaureate sermon to the
graduating class of the Arvada High
school ut the Methodist church last
Sunday night was listened to with n
great deal of interest by a large aud
renee. 1t was very plain, practical
sermon unique in many points for
JUS simple truths and yet very force
flu! IN their perspective.
There was no funereal expression
on DIR. Williams face, as is frequent
ly assumed by speakers on such oc
casions, but quite the reverse, much
to the enjoyment Of all.
The class of twenty-four, which,
oy the way, Is the largest class Ar
vada school has yet graduated, and
which consists of six boys and eight
cen girls, filed onto the platform n
midst great applause of the proud
friends and relatives. They are a
fine looking lot of young people and
evidently appealed to DR.. Williams as
such. for he began his remarks by
first asking them all to stand facing
him, and after looking at them for
some moments. he said to the girls
first: You will never look any more
beautiful in all your life--exccp
when you say, Il will" Turning
then then to the boys, he said. "You
will never be more handsome in your
whole llfo-except just once, and
that when you say wilt thou?".
1t is needless to saw that the DR..
had Won their young hearts ut once
md put them in receptive mood for
the splendid advice that followed.

Town Board In
Regular Meeting

The Town Board had its regular
monthly meeting Monday evening.
No great amount of business was
found tc be transacted aside from
allowing the regular monthly bills,
which were exceptionally heavy on
account of the vast amount of street
Improvement that has been done in
the last month. Grandview has been
surfaced with gravel the entire
length east of Wadsworth, Valley
Avenue has been filled in and graded
in the low places, very badly need
ed improvement, the streets have al
so been dragged when necessary and
sprinkled as we'll. Further improve
ment is contemplated for the sake of
appearances and also for convenn-
fence, about the Tramway station.
The old fence that has so long been
an eysorewill be removed and the
ground between the railroad and
tramway tracks will be leveled off so
that automobiles can drive down to
the station in stormy weather, and
be able to turn around with ease and
get back across the tracks.
The matter of better equipment
for carrying the fire apparatus to a
fire was brought to the attention of
the Board. In the recent fire at H.
Evans the hose carts were so badly
shaken up in the run to the fire that
tue reels caused the boys great deal
Of t,ouble when they began to un-
wind the hose. Mr.. Duncan sus-
yested that an old Ford chassis be pur-
chased and equipped with suitable
body to accommodate the hose as It
is arranged on the big fire apparatus,
and also to have it SO that it would
carry all the equipment and several
men. 1t was not his idea to buy an
engine, but to have it SO 1t could be
attached to another car when necess-
airy to go any distance. He thought it
would not cost q great deal, and poss-
IDLY the old hose carts can be dispos-
ed Of for part payment. The matter
was left to the Fire and Lights COM
mittee with power to act.
At the request Of Mrs. Barth and
Mrs. A. l.. Davis, who appeared be-
fore the board ~ . committee from
the Woman's Council Of Defense, a
sum amounting to SIS was approprt-
ated out Of the general funds for the
aid Of the Woman's organization, the
board being unanimous that the town
was vitality interested in the defense
movement.
