CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS.

Business transactions have been es-
pecially lively In Glenwood for the
last month. In view of the proposition
of the Colorado hotel being leased for
Z hospital BY the government, there
seems to be great need for houses to
meet 'he demands of the tourists.
There has been real shortage of
comfortable houses all winter. due to
the dlscontlnuance of the Midland
railroad. The people from the adjoin-
ing towns came to Glenw0od to make
Il home. Now that the summer season
Is at hand, the need of more houses
Is vital. The Chamber OF Commerce
has taken the matter up and several
indications point to an Immediate
erection OF houses.
Mich Obroderich and George Guicich,
miners who went from Silverton to
Montrose, were arrested there and
their grips searched. They were sus-
pected of knowing something about
the murder OF Frank A. Carlson, OF
Denver, in Telluride. The men were
arrested by Sheriff GIL and they stat
ed they had come direct from Silver
ton and were going to Bingham Canon,
Utah, to work. Obrodcrich had Il
bloody handkerchief and II revolver in
his grip and GuIcich had n pair of
brass knuckles.
Lambing now Is under full swing
throughout the Suri Juan basin and
the sheepmen are receiving far better
returns than they anticipated few
weeks ago. AS n general rule, the an
nual lamb crop has averaged from 30
per cent to 40 per cent, hut owing to
he severe winter weather and the
scarcity of feed II was predicted that
this years crop would be high If it
averaged 90 per cent; whereas sheep
men now say the crop average Will be
from rs per cent to 30 per cent.
The Great Western Sugar Company
has authorized the building of twen-
ty-five-room addition to the new thir-
ty-fiveroom hotel built by the com.
pany Mt Brighton last year. A four
apartment terrace will also he built
by the company. The sugar company
has built fifteen residences In Brighton
during the past two years. Some of
these properties cost more than $1,000
each. The great scarcity of houses In
Brighton has made these improve.
ments necessary.
