town of Glenwood Springs where they
will make their headquarters during
the congressional vacation it being Mr..
Taylor's intention to visit as many OF

A MODERN AMBULANCE

Thursday morning w. H. Farnum,
the mortician, unloaded in Glenwood a
handsome limousine and ambulance
combination, and one of the finest mo-
tor vehicles ever seen in this country.
While Glenwood has first-class hos
pital, of which our people are justly
proud, we have frequently found our
selves in great need of suitable ambu-
lance with which to move the sick and
injured from train or home to the hos
pital where they might be given proper
medical or surgical attention.
This need has now been supplied in
the vehicle which Mr.. Farnum has just
provided, classy car, the interior Of
which may be quickly changed from q
limousine into an ambulance provided
with cot on which patient may ride
as in Pullman car on the smoothest
railway roadbed.
The car may be used in this way or
it may be used as a family limousine
at funerals, the change from one to
the other being made quickly but com.
pletsly. Mr.. Farnum may be little
ahead Of the times in providing this
handsome car for Glenwood, but he
thinks our people will appreciate 1t for
Il h . vehicle that is badly nosded
when It 10 needed ct all.

Hotel Colorado, Famous Pool
and Cave Almost Certain to
Be Chosen For Camp
app PRAIsER IS HERE

Our people have for some time been
quite concerned as to what will be the
government action in regard to TAX
ing over the Hotel Colorado and
grounds as a recuperation camp for
the boys who need attention as re-
suit of their service in Uncle Sans
army. For several weeks there has
been a very persistent rumor to ths
effect that Glenwood Springs would be
selected as the Colorado site for such
an institution. While the indications
are all favorable to Glenwood's selec-
ton, no one can speak with absolute
assurance on the subject until the final
negotiations have been made.
The federal appraiser arrived in
Glenwood yesterday and he is inspect
ing the property very carefully and ex-
poets to have his report as to the valu
alton ready to present to the federal
health department within short time.
It is already known that the owners
of the hotel and grounds have made
the government very liberal offer and
it is believed that this offer will be
accepted in due time.
In ciruclar just issued by the de-
partment, explanatory of the govern
ment's plan to restore the boys back
to their former health, is the following
paragraph, which will have signifi-
cant meaning to the residents of Glen
wood Springs and surrounding conutry:
Z. Among the locations whirh ara b.
ing considered BY the Hospital board.
and which indicates the type of hos
pitsls the Public Health service pro
poses to procure for the treatment Of
discharged soldiers and sailors, is
famous summer hotel in Colorado. Here
on beautifully verdant and wooded
ITS acre tract situated in what ths
late Col. Roosevelt termed "the play
ground of America" 1000 men will be
nursed back to health and happiness.
They can hunt and fish, and they can
swim in the large CLASSY pool 900 by
100 ft. The boys can even raise their
own vegetables. Among the interest
ing things to see are many vapor caves.
This is only one of the attractive sites
which Surgeon General Blue proposes to
provide for the discharged soldiers and
sailors who seek medical treatment.

Northwest Federation Of Women 3
Clubs held in Ffuita last Saturday,
Mrs. John Moore of this city was elect

Harris Of Carbondale was elected to
the office of fourth vice president.
A very interesting session was held,

Mrs. Flynn made few short re-

enjoy the evening with the Glenwood

the close of the meeting and the ladies

which would prove helpful to them in

that he hopes to have any better success with any that he may draw up, but in order to convince the supporters of the treaty that 1t will not be permitted to go to a vote for unreserved ratification And it k DOS sible for him to delay that vote indefinitely. especially since he is chairman on the com mittee that has the treaty bill in charge
 If the next set of amendments are de feated, then others will be be prepared and so on to infinity if necessary. There is small wonder that the democratic leaders are beginning to consider a compromise The vital thing just now is peace. If there is any way in which a league covenant um- altered, for the sake of securing an inn mediate agreement and early ratification of peace, the compromise is justified. But if the compromise entails the loss of the vital things for which Mr. Wilson and his as sistants and co-workers at the peace con ference labored so long and faithfully. it were better to fight it out on the present line if it takes all winter. 1
 The people of America are not ali blind. They can see and understand the tactics now being employed by the treaty opponents. They will not remain silent long before this kind of obstruction and when they speak sufficiently strong, the senators will make response, altho somewhat unwiII- ingly and maybe a little slowly. But the answer will be according to the peoples de- mand

THE BUDGET

For the past decade there has been a determined effort by leaders, who have seen the unsoundncss of the methods by which the financial side of the government was handled, to have a national budget act passed and an era of sound business es- abolished. Their efforts have been partial ly rewarded by the passage of such bill by the lower house The friends of the measure hope that it will get thru the senate, but fear that it will be let die there without action, either favorable or unfayorable.
 That there is great need for a national budget is undeniable. Every year we pay taxes, and they mount higher each success sive year, to provide money that might have been saved by the government had there been anything resembling efficient business methods in vogue Estimates are brot in by departments, bureaus, and varl- ous individual members of the house, the total of which need have no relation to the government $ income, and in fact very sel- dom does have any.
 This is illustrated by a recent an nouncement made by Chairman Good, of the house appropriations committee, m which he said that the difference between the governments $ estimated expenses to June 3O 1920, and the estimated income to that date, is more than three and one half billion dollars and that the forthcom- ing estimates should not carry a single dol lar in excess of the requirements of the I'll progressive way"
 Which is a customary thing to say un- der the circumstances; other chairman of past appropriation committees have made 1t. But 1t Is safe to predict at once that the necessity of economy will not produce any real economy in governmental opera tions. What will happen will run about this way: The republican majority will get alarmed at the eyer-increasing total of the appropriations. Along toward the end of the session, it will bethink itself of it's economy pledges and there will be a gen eral scramble to cut and slash measures right and left, without any pretense of g,iv- ing the entire totals a businesslike scrll- tiny to see which ones can bear a cut. As the result bound to follow, a number of ac- tivities absolutely needing funds will go without, but the usual millions will be wasted on pork barrel measures.
 Under the budget system, the acid test of private business may be applied to that of the government. There should be no diff ference, the main thing being will it pay dividends on the investment? If it will do this, it is a good investment But as general rule, if it wont, it had best be let alone. It is a rule which has never even been attempted in governmental business. Now that the house has taken the plunge, the novelty of the thing should not act as deterrent to the senate.

TACTICS OF DELAY

The method being taken by Senator Lodge to delay action on the peace treaty IS as ancient as parliamentary government. It has been used in every parliamentary body, but in none with more success and greater freedom than in the United States senate.
 It is the privilege of the members of that august body to talk any measure to death, and it is very insistent that it's rights be not abridged. Time and again, abortive efforts to bring about reform have been heard of in the senate, but they never have sufficient life to cause any great stir.
 It is an old gag to kill almost any kind of a measure by loading it down with amendments. This is Lodges method of procedure in the treaty debate. Having had one batch defeated, amendments that the opponents claimed if passed would right the defects of the treaty, Lodge sum- mons his followers to prepare others. Not

 MINE IMPROVES
 AS SINK SHAFT
ST. PATRICK'S QUARTZ MINE LOOKING BETTER THAN EVER CONTINUOUS RUN OF PIP TONS OF ORE SHOW HIGHEST VALUE YET PRODUCED.

Smith Bros and McGlone, who have just completed a cleanup on ore talk en from their mine. on St Patrick creek, stated yesterday that the re suit was highly satisfactory and that the prospects for the future were as promising as could be desired The cleanup was from a continuous mill run of 272 tons of ore and the bull lion assay showed an average of $33.- 30 per ton for the entire run
 The last run prior tO this, was made in July, 100 tons being milled, which averaged s2S4O to the ton, or $4.9O less than the one just completed The first run made by this firm about twelve months ago showed the ore to average $1S.75 Der ton. The ore in that run was taken from the 50 foot level. Each succeeding run, taken from deeper levels has shown in creased values, the last run being talk en from the 12O foot level from which point the crew Is working up.
 With but a small crew working in the mine four men practically all the time, the returns are considered very good In addition to the ore that has already been miIled, the opera tors have about 2,O0O additional tons in sight for taking out in the near future
 The values quoted above are those actually obtained in bullion. On the last run, assays made of the tailings by the local bureau of mines station, show that there was a loss in milling, either from concentrates or some oth- CT cause of more than $700 per ton. bringing the gross value of the ore up to better than $41.O0 per ton
