From the sentiment that is apparent
in this community and from what can
be learned from other communities it
is safe to say that Garfield county and
the entire Western Slope are opposed
to the enactment Of the so-called Town
send bill, recently introduced in con-
gress the purpose of which is to take
away from the U. s. forest service the
monies which this branch of the agri-
cultural department is now authorized
to spend for roads and trails, and to
transfer this money to the highway de-
partment to be expended in a very
few across the continent highways.
The city council of Glenwood Springs
recently memorialized the Colorado
representatives in congress in opposi-
ton to the proposed measure, and the
county commissioners, at their session
last week, in order to show their oppo-
sitiOn to the measure, unanimously
passed the following:
Resolution
The attention of the board of coun-
ty commissioners of Garfield county,
Colorado having been called to what
is known as the Townsend bill, being
Senate bill No. 1850, the main purpose
of said bill being to amend and super
sede the Federal Aid Road act, by
which $275,Oo0,OOO in federal aid has
been given to the states for the ex-
penditure on projects selected by them,
and to transfer the federal appropria-
tions from the department of agricul-

DEsPoNDENT WOMAN
TAKES OWN LIFE

At the Broadway hotel in Denver
last Monday afternoon, Mrs. Clara f.
Baer, 80 years of age and former res
ident of Glenwood, took her own life
by shooting herself through the head.
The suicide was deliberate. A note
written to the proprietor of the hotel
few minutes before she comitted the
rash act contained five dollars due for
room rent. Another note dated Sun.
day and addressed to her brothers,
John Russell and c. A. Russell, both
of Kansas City, gave her reason for
the rash act. Mrs. Baer has been IN
ill health for several years and she
says that she could not endure the ter
rible suffering longer. She expresses
regret that her life could not have been
different so she could have lived with
her brothers during the past three
years, but she says it was not to be.
Mrs. Baer was in very comfortable
circumstances so far as financial at
fairs go, but her ill health and the ac-
campaigning suffering brought on fits
of intense dependency. She complain
ed greatly Of very severe headaches.
Since the death of her husband, John
L. Baer, in Glenwood nearly three
years ago from influenza, Mrs. Baer
had been very unhappy. Her body was
taken to Kansas City for interment.

James A. Owens Accidentally
Shot While on Duty as
Express Agent
PROBABLE

Last Monday afternoon James A.
Owens, express agent at the D. & B.
of a peculiar accident which it was
at first feared would cost him his life.
Mr.. Owens was alone in his office
and was sitting at the typewriter
writing some letters. He arose from
the typewriter and went to a cabinet
standing on shelf in the corner Of
the room, and pulled out drawer in
which number Of miscellaneous az
ticles were kept, including 41-caliber
revolver which the company requires
all agents to keep within easy reach.
Just what he was in search of Mr..
Owens does not know. He does not
remember what happened, except that
his first recollection is of lying on the
floor Of the office, with blood gush-
ing from his breast.
Joe Hayes, who takes care Of tue
depot lawn, heard the shot and con-
veyed the news to M. L. Baer and otn-
ers in the railway office, who rushed
to Mr.. Owens side and had him quick
ly conveyed to the sanitarium where he
was given prompt medical attention.
1t was found that the bullet had en-
tered two or three inches above the
heart, piercing the left lung and lodg-
ing in the muscles of the back, Just
beneath the skin.
The most plausible, and in fact the
only reasonable explanation of the ac-
cident is that someone in putting the
gun away had placed it in the drawer
with the muzzle pointing outward. The
drawer does not open easily and Mr..
Owens probably gave it jerk, and
the hammer caught on something and
the weapon was thus discharged. Mr..
Owens was SO close to the weapon
when it was discharged that his cloth
ing was smoking when he was found,
and fragments of the same had been
driven into the wound in his breast.
At the time The Post goes to press
MIR. Owens is resting very comfortably
at the sanitarium, and his condition
is pronounced by DIR. Hopkins as good
as could be expected, in view Of tho
fact that the patient has lost great
amount of blood, and because of the
close proximity to the heart OF tho
trail made by the bullet.
1t is considered too early to predict
with any degree of certainty what tho
final outcome will be, although pres
ent indications are quite favorable.
Mr.. Owens has been for several years
IN charge of the business of the Amer
lean Railway Express company at this
place, and by his affable manner and
courteous treatment of the patrons of
the office he has made host of friends
who earnestly hope for his speedy re-
covery.

s..e.se. nf. Potter, is every inch an
athlete and he is six feet in height.
He has a splendid record in the uni
versity both in his academic and attn
letic work. He did considerable teach
ing in the service of the government
during the war. Mr.. Potter comes
with good recommendations and he Will
be professional leader for the high
school people in their games and sports.
Miss Jane Kirk, who is SO well and
favorably known in Glenwood, returns
to continue and extend her good work
IN sewing and domestic science. The
new building will be equipped for her
work so that the Junior High pupils
will be well cared for in their own
building.
Miss Nina Wall, who has been away
on years leave of absence returns
for grade work in the new school. Miss
Walz s many friends will be glad that
she is to be with US this year.
Mr.. McKeown who has charge of the
course in agriculture under the direc-
ton of the State Vocational training,
expects to be with us again this year.
A real effort is being made to reach
the country boys who graduated from
the eighth grade with this course that
is to be given this year. Plans are
being formulated to make this course il
agriculture such that it will attract the
attention that it should in this Sec
ton. 1t is hoped that short courses
can be arranged in lecture form such
that many farmers Of the county will
be glad to attend and add inspiration
to the work. Rural schools will be
visited and it is hoped that many boys
will be enrolled in the County High
school that they may get the training
which will go far toward making the
farm pay.
There are few vacancies in the
schools that are not yet filled, but
there are plenty of applicants and 1t
will not be long till the complete corps
of teachers can be announced.
Nearly all of the teachers of the
grades and Junior High schools are re-
turning. The good work and the faith
full service of these teachers is well
known by the patrons of this conf
munity. We all sincerely hope that
the splendid new structure which is now
being completed will be ready for them
at the opening of the school year.

BUSINESS ID PICK
 UP, SAYS PORTER.
Local Merchant Thinks Re- duCed Rail Rates Would
 Speed Return to Normal

Business should turn the corner by spring and show a gradual improve ment through 1922, according to IT. J. Porter of the Porter Clothing Co., who Is recently returned from New Orleans, where the fourth store of the Porter chain Is being installed.
 It Is expected that the New Or leans store will open about February l. at which time there will be Porter stores in operation in Birmingham, Jacksonville, Nashville and the Cres- cent City.
 "Normality in business is depend ent on the railroads" states Mir. Por- ter. Until freight rates are reduced and farmers can get the worth of their products, there will be no real prosperity. The prosperity of the country depends on the prosperity of the farmer.
 Railway traffic, neither freight nor passenger, will reach peak with prevailing rates If volume means aught to the carriers, then the price must come down."
 After spending the holidays here Mir. Porter expects to return to New Orleans to continue installation of fixtures in the store there.
