Mrs. Vanderbilt can catch a glimpse of
particularly dingy fve-story tenement. A
little farther away she can see big brew

smoke and manufacturing its sad product.
THE adjoining blocks are mainly and in
some cases entirely occupied by tenement
houses Of the poorest kind. Here festoons
of simple, old fashioned underclothing hang
out OF the windows every day and all day
long. The exquisite Mrs. Vanderbilt can
catch a glimpse OF them amid the war;

In Summer the fire escapes will be

will be many distressing noises and even
horrible scenes, such as have led poets to
describe the tenement district in Summer
as The City Of Dreadful Night" Children

Summer trouble, and some win fall from
windows and fire-escapes. But probably
Mrs. Vanderbilt has not yet decided to
spend the Summer in the slums.
One social commentator has remarked
solemnly that the block chosen by Mrs.
Vanderbilt can never be changed into a
centre of fashion. Surrounded as 1t is by
slums on every side except the river. it is
too difficult and unpleasant Of access"
This observer remarks that the streets
by which 1t is approached are neither in
viting nor fragrant, and II Mrs. yanderbilt's
guests attempt to stroll homeward on foot
they will be in danger Of unwelcome en-
counters-possibly attacks by footpads
but more probably just little attentions

position Of the place In the heart of the

Another social chropicler has been driven
to poetry by Mrs. vanderbilt's move. One

'A bilt family and herself one of the

the East Side Of New York-to the heart

Various plausible reasons are given for

is that Mrs Vanderbilt has undoubtedly
gone to the slums She may have found her

that the proposal to swear i'm the Mex

knocking the steering gear from Mr..
Gist's control and his car plunged Off

The occupants of the car were thrown
out but the car struck the two ladies'
after they fell. Mr.. Gist himself was
not seriously injured, but all were
brought to the hospital where it was
found that Mrs. Gist's injuries were
so serious that it was hardly believed
she could live but few hours. One
leg and one arm were broken in sew

She rallied, however, from the first
shock and seemed even at times to be
improving, but the shock to her sys-

about midnight oe Tuesday. The
daughter also suffered broken leg

Conrad W. Paulson, who for nearly
a year past has been assistant man
ager of the j. B. Byars & Co. store
in Lamar, died at three o'clock Mon
day morning at the home OF Frank j.
Spear, where he had rooms. His
death was caused by pneumonia, and
he had only been away from the store
few days. Mr.. Paulson came from
Litchficld, Minnesota, several years
ago TO Greeley. Colorado. where he
worked for the Byars company for
some time before being transferred TO
Lamar He had been here since and
had made a host of friends by his
genial disposition. He was a steady
reliable young business man and an
agreeable companion and was sincerely
liked by all who knew him. His bro
ther at Minneapolis was sent for but
did not arrive until after his death.
Arrangements We're made for the
funeral at the Adams Kirkpatrick
mortuary on Tuesday afternoon. and
were in charge Of Lamar Lodge No.

was a member. The mortuary was

was given in impressive manner by
the officers, after which the body was
accompanied to the depot and placed
on No. u for its journey to Litchfield
where it will be laid to rest in the

Wiley Due For a Few Good Gravel
Highways.


County Road Supervisor, O. II.
Rhodenbaugh, was in Wiley today
making a general survey Of the condi-
tion of the county roads in this part
Of the county and preparing to begin
work Immediately on the grading and
draining of all the main Travelled high
ways in this part of the county. Mr..
Rhodenbaugh states that it is the plan
of the county to gravel the north and
south road leading from the Santa Fe
trail north to the city limits Of Wiley
on the south and from the city limits
Of Wiley on the north, beginning at
ward to the county line and join onto
a graveled road beginning there and
extending north across Kiowa county
When this is done the street commits
sioner OF Wiley should see that the
gap along Main street through Wiley
is properly graded and graveled thus
making a continuous gravel highway
from the north county line TO the south
county line through Wiley and Lamar.
The new grading and graveling will
be done on the secondary highway,
known as the short cut to Denver
from the south. This places Wiley on
a favorable tourist route which will
evidently bring more business into
town and the information given by
Mr.. Rhodenbaugh will be welcome
news TO Wiley.
Mr.. Rhodenbaugh also states that
the east and west road adjoining VII
ey on the north will be graded up and
u good highway made between Wiley
and the Clover Meadow and May VAL
ley communities which will also meet
with the approval Of all the travellers
in both the Wiley, and May Valley
communities, as this road has been in
need Of repair for some time.
According to Mr.. Rhodenbaugh's
statement Wiley is due for a number
of good roads during the coming year
and they are coming to US none too
soon, as many OF our roads were in
very bad Wiley Journal

oRNABACK PROCESS co.
New Process for Two Color Printing
Developed by Geo. Z. Harris of
Register Office.

The Ornaback Process Co. has been
organized by Lamar business men to
handle the new process of two color
printing developed by Geo. G. Harris,
foreman of the Register office. The
process has been given a thorough
trial in this office and demonstrated its
great value in saving of both time and
money, and has so appealed to the
business men, who have had occasion
to make use of it, that several decided
to organize Il company and put it on
the market. The process is a distinct
advance in the printers art and the
Register from actual use of it has no
hesitancy in giving it the strongest
endorsement.
