Louisiana Attracts
Many Farmer Settlers.

Despite the fact that the last
two years have not been noted for
the activity of colonization work
in Louislana-that colonization
work has not been pushed as in
many years-fuIly 5000 new
settlers have made their homes on
farms III this state. according TO
Justice f. Denechand in his
biennial report to the Commissioner
Of Agriculture.
"Our Investigations lead Us to
believe that fully 5000 new
settlers have made their homes on
farms in this state" says the
report. "This does not include
the people who have come to
Louisiana to engage In oil and gas
developments or IN other industrial
activities. but refers only to those
who will follow agricultural
pursuits.

The mem bership of the Chamber
of Commerce will soon reach the
number Of 800 active members IT
the Membership Committee, which
il canvassiDg the City, keeps
garnering members at the rate
they started at last week. Without
funds in the treasury and blg
membership enrolled the chamber
can not possibly function with
desired results, in the opinion OF
President Alfred Lewald, chairman
Of one of the Membership Com
mittees. A Chamber of Commerce
either is the real thing or 1t IL
nothing. II it doesn't function 1t
amounts to nothing. If it does
function along safe, sane and
progressive lines 1t is the greatest
community builder known 10
modern America.
1t is anticipated that the ooo
sought for active members Will be
enrolled by the time the annual
election of officers occurs on
Tuesday, July l3, 80 that each ana
every member may have voice I'D

who are interested in the future

AN IMPROVEMENT AT
THE AANTIA19U1l

In making the rounds this wesk ~
Post reporter visited the rssrsatasu
and study room on the tAir& flour =
the Glenwood ssnitarium, which has
recently been established.
This is . very coy and home-like
apartment and adds greatly to the con-
venience of the nurses. II Is used for
recreation and class room for the
nurses, where they may gather after
their working hours. II is equipped
with all the latest magazines, q Vic
trola, large study table and plenty
of easy chairs.
Aside from the nurses at the sani-
tarium Miss Simmons, the Red Cross
nurse uses this room one evening q
week for her high school girls nur-
sing class. A laboratory is also being
installed in connection with the room.
With the addition Of this improve
ment for the nurses Mt the sanitarium
we are safe in saving that the Glen
wood sanitarium is one Of the finest
and best equipped institutions Of its
kind on the western slope.

The official canvass Of the votes
cast by the electors Of this county in

No changes were made in the ua-

commissioner in the second district.
For district attorney, NJ. DELANEY =
majority over his opponent, Gilbert A.
Walker, was 447 in this county. Thia,

Gates rather clearly that Mr.. Delaney

not at all definite, Mr.. Delaney ad-
vising the Post reporter just before
We 60 to press that he is not yet GER
tain as to the result. Mr.. Delaney
gained IL by the counting Of the un-

ARsd1sT1oE DAY

Armistice day was not celebrated to
any great and dignified extent in
Glenwood Thursday, and perhaps the
least said about it, the better for all
concerned. Perhaps the disagreeable
weather was partially responsible for
the lack Of interest and attendance,
but Notwithstanding that, the weather
was mech better behaved than some
Of the participants in the celebration.
Congressman Taylor made a brief but
interesting address at the flaEpole.
The majority Of the business houses
were closed in honor Of the day.

forthcoming. Oas effect Of the dseis-
ion forsssen was the danger Of increas-
cd opportunity for fraud among per-
sons seeking means Of violating the
law. Without the check on trauspor-
tation provided by the permit system
officials indicated that they expected
greater difficulty in controlling unlaw-
full sales.
A decision had not been reached to-
night as to whether the courts in
depreciation opens the way for unre-
stricted transportation in interstate
commerce. The transfer can be made
within state apparently was speci-
fled, but the language Of the court
when analysed may yet show, offieiall
thought, means whereby interstate
transportation can be stopped. In the
particular case involved, it was pointed
out, the owners residence and the
place Of storage were within the SANG
state and, in fact in the same city.
In connection with the transporta-
ton of liquor, officials said that it
would be difficult if not impossible for
them to determine the legality Of pur-
chases and whether the stored stocks
had been obtained prior to the effect
i've date of the Volstead act. This
was expected to result in more strin-
gent regulations with respect to with
drawals of beverages from bonded
warehouses but the same regulations
cannot be made to apply to ordinary
storage warehouses. Stored stocks,
therefore, again are without the law
to a great degree officials said, adding
that. they anticipated its speedy re-
moval from such storage.

COUNTY CAPITAL
"a 81, u TO BIB CHANGED

Eagle, Colo, Nov. S.-Eagle town 10
to be the county seat of Eagle county.
After eighteen years Of contest Eagle
was decreed to be the county seat at
the election held last Tuesday, having
eleven votes to the good. Red Cliff
has been the county seat since pioneer
days when it was a lively silver mining
camp and the rest Of the county had
not become populated. Farming and
stock raising now is the chief industry
Of the county. Bed Ciff had the dis
advantage af. being in the extreme east
ern end Of the county in narrow
canon at the foot of Battle Mountain,
Eagle is in the center Of the county
in pleasant valley, and is the largest
town in the county. -
Eight years ago q contest was held
which Eagle lost by 1873 votes, altho
it had a plurality. A two-thirds ma.
jority is required to change a county
seat. It is probable that Red Cliff
will not submit without further con.
test in the courts. -&~
The Eagle local committee that put
over the election was composed of Q,
M. Baker, cashier of the First Ma
tional bank, chairman; Ben M. White
John Welsh, A. Christensen, and e.
johnson, local men, with several from
the outside.
