Three Boys Who Made Good

Three Boys Who Made Good
IF YOU were to walk into the Leader
in Mt. Vernon, H. and inform n very
young-looking young man behind the
counter that you would like to speak to
"Mr. Carp. the proprietor" you would
receive a smile of the most pleasant
variety and the reply. (Which Mr. earn
did you wish to see? am one of them /"
The answer lies in the fact that the
Leader Is one Of the most unusual stores
in the country-not only because of the
fact that It Is owned by three brothers
who were its proprietors at the ages of
thirteen. fourteen and nineteen but be-
cause they have built up one of the most
prosperous businesses of its kind in tho
Middle West.
The father Of the Carp boys, himself
a merchant, determined that his sons
should make their own way in the world
without any help from home. According.
ly. hearing Of the opening in MI. Vernon
he sent the trio there and financed the
purchase of the Leader, The boys worked
hard ana. lttle by little, pulled them
selves up ana repaid the entire purchase
price.
Yes, it was hard work" declares Ber

money to pay of our debts. Then, by

Rifle As County Seat Of
Garfield County

There is a movement afoot OH the
part Of the business people and town
of Rifle to have the Commissioners Of
Garfield County to change the county
seat Of that county to Rifle.
Garfield county, like this county, is
badly In need Of new court house.
Since this Is the case Rifle il offering
every kind OF intlucement to have the
county seat moved there and the new
court house built In Rife. Rife offers
a piece Of land In Rifle not less than II
city block and bonus Of $4,000 dol
lars towards the construction Of the
court house.
1t is apparent that Rifle is In earn
est when they offer such inducements
as that. 1t remains to be seen what
Glenwood will oneras counter induce
mcnt to keep the county seat.

is CONGRESS
TOO LARGE?
Should the House Of Representatives
Have Its Membership Increased.
Decreased or left ~ It Is.

This question will come before Con-
grcss at the session now on aud there
Is every prospect of fight over its de.
cisiOn.
The House has grown steadily from
its. original membership of G5 to pre-.
sent membership OF 435. After each
census there has been reapp0lntment
of members to states based OH II ratio
of one member to every 221.UO inhab-
itants The figures for the 1920 census
indicate considerable Increase with
the next reappointmcnt. II no change
is made IN the system.
There are many. however. who fear
TINT the House is becoming too large
efficiency. and they are calling for n re-
duction In the size OF the House to
about 800. which was approximately
the membership prior to 1910. Other
arguments advanced are that large
House merely increases governmental
expense In the matter Of salaries. cler-
icnl forces. etc. without any resultant
benefit In efficient legislation.
Opponents Of the reduction cite as
an cxcmple the British House Of Com
mons. which. In spite Of Its nearly
seven hundred members. operates with
remarkable success. and the French
Chamber Of Deputies which has around
six hundred members. The argument
is also advanced that the present day
congressman are NO burdcned by re-
quests from their constituents to Mt
tend to various wants that they have
little time left for legislation. and that
on this account the number Of Repre-
scntutivcs should be increased so as to
tighten the burden on each.
a bill Is mt present being prepared
and will bc introduced In December
providing for II rcapportionmcnt
and n reduction In number. the latter
to ls accomplished by making the unit

Garfield County Coal Mines
: Are to be Re-Opened

The two lagcst coal mines. the ono
at New Castle and the one at Sunlight
nrc to lie re-opened soon. The mines
were closed at the time the Midland
railroad ceased its operation, their
tiplcs being on the Midland tracks.
The G. F. & l. and Rocky Mountain
Fuel Company plan to buy the tracks
and right of way from the Midland
and connect them with the Rio Grande.
Operations have begun at Sunlight
mine and In n short time expect to bc
shipping 1000 tons day. A crew will
also start work nt the Vulcan mine
across the river from New Castle.
New Castle will very likely now have
electric light again AZ they got their
current before from the generator at
the mine. When this was shut down
In 1918 the town was without lights
and has been ever since then.

EAgie. Pitkln and Garfield Counties
and Forest Service To Take
Right Of Way

There u nothing 80 bad mat some
sood may come from 1t, no night 30
dark but that we may catch the light
Of an occasional star-if we but look
for It.
For the past few years the people Of
this section Of Colorado have waited
with great interest and anxiety for the
resumption of activities by the Colo
rsdo Midland Railroad, only to ind re-
Gently that all hopes were shattered
and that nothing would he able to save
the road from the junk pile. This is
the action which we have feared for a
long time was inevitable.
The work of junking the line was re-
Gently begun under the direction Of G..
N. Keck Of this city. The GlenwOod-
Aspen branch was the first to receive
attention, this line being disposetl Of,
the workmen were taken to the main
line, where activities were begun the
nrst Of this week.
The county commissioners Of Eagle
and Pitkin counties made an inspec-
tion Of the line. and they have agreed
to purchase the bridges and culverts
nnd right of way Of that portion Of the
road which extends across these eoun-
ties, from Bssalt to Mast. distance
of about 20 miles. for about &54O0. d.
vitled between the two counties but the
United States forestry service. through
tte district forester. Allen 8. Peck. Of
Denver. has agreed to join the counties
In this purchase. with the understand
ing that the two counties shall floor
the bri.lges and keep the line In pro-
per condition for the accommodation
Of the travelling public.
This Is a splendid opportunity for
these counties to secure an excellent
and much needed mountain road at
Unlv q trinInG fraction Of its original
cost. In fact. II Ia said that 1t cost the
Colorado Midland company $75O0M to
hujld this stretch Of road In 1878.
ard inasmuch a. this Midland track
has monopolised almost the only avail
sbae space up the Frying Pan canon

s1u1sta that the coanties now take ad-
vantaes of the present opportunity to
secure . road right Of way for mere
