A PLAN TO REMEOY
DANGERS OF CORNERS

1t has been suggested that the nag
mans little shanty at the crossing of
Central Main street and. the Santa Fe
railroad tracks be moved from its
present location u little more to the
east. and that the space 1t occupies now
and a portion of the corner be made
into a street, paved, etc, SO as to make
the turn from First street off Santa
Fe avenue into Central Main street
easier for motorists. 1t is claimed that
the turn Is sharp and dangerous and
hence much traits is sent up Main
street which could be diverted up Santa
Fe avenue by turning cast on FIRST,
II the turn could be negotiated with
greater case.
1t is understood that the Santa re
railroad has agreed to move the flag
mans shanty, providing the city Will
pave the space and make the street
turn conform with the rest of the
roadway.

ment of both sides, the night hearing
was not held. The contention of the
shippers was that reduced rates should
be charged in the intermediate points,
including Aamosa, Montrose, and
other slope towns to conform with the
rates of other points on the D. and r,
G. such as Trinidad, Santa Fe, and
Walsenburg, on goods shipped from
Pacific coast manufacturers and grow
ers. Alamosa and other centers were
represented, but Montrose failed to
have a representative in the hearing.
The side of the carrier was given as
justification of the rate charged be-
cause the goods ordinarily shipped
from the Pacific coast to the cities of
Trinidad, Walsenburg. and others
named by the petitioners were not
routed by way of Alamosa, .Montrose
and the cities making the claims. The
goods therefore shipped to Alamosa
and the slope points were charged
more for the reason that they had to
be rerouted, 1t was claimed.

ARREST TWO
IN MIDNIGHT
RA|DONROoM
FRIEND COMES TO RESCUE OF
DETROIT SALESMAN AND
PAYS HIS FINE

p. Coates, a travelling salesman, of
Detroit, and a young woman who
had been working as waitress in the
Bricker Hotel were arrested in a raid
on her room in the hotel at one
o'clock, Tuesday morning, the man
being taken to the city jail and held
there while the woman was kept in
her room at the hotel. E. G. Higgins
proprietor of the hotel, and Consta-
BILE Z. 4. Cook conducted the raid
and made the arrests.
Coates came to the hotel Saturday
and had been selling his wares, con-
sisting of line of punch boards and
other like articles, around town for
several days. In some way proprie-
tor Higgins learned that Coates and
the waitress had occupied the same
room together on Sunday night and
on Monday night, being convinced
that the same thing was being done
again, secured the services of Con-
stable Cook and going to the door
of the room demanded admittance.
The young woman refused to allow
them to enter, claiming she was not
in proper condition to receive callers
at that hour. The door was forced
open and Coates was found in the
room and taken to the city Jail.
On being arraigned in Justice Lap
hams court, he plead guilty to dis
orderly charge and was assessed a
fine of $500 and costs of S4.85,
amounting in all to 1885. He was
"broke" and it commenced to look as
if he would have the fines alternative
20 days in the county Jail at Ionia,
when he succeeded in borrowing the
money from a friend-and freeing
himself. The young woman was la
ter on arraigned on a similar charge
and also plead guilty and was given
fine of $500 and costs of $4.35, or
1886 in all. She paid.

TO EXHIBIT MANY
NOVELTIES At HIGH
SCHOOL CARNIVAL
ASSOC. TO PUT ON
ANNUAL AFFAIR FRIDAY
EVENING, MARCH l8

Two years ago the high school
athletic association was in need of
funds. AS an experiment the asso-
citation staged a carnival in the high
school building. 1t was pronounced
success financially. Encouraged by
the results of the previous year, the
stunt was repeated last year with
even better results, which made it
possible to purchase full set of
new uniforms for baseball last spring
as well as to install shower-bath
with little help from the Board of
education. This year there are other
needs.
Next Friday evening, beginning at
z 30 there will be a continuous pro-
gram of such a wide variety that the
most critical will be able to find real
entertainment, as well as good
things to eat. An admission fee of
Is cents opens the door to the main
attraction-a one act Irish comedy.
Under the able direction of Mr.. Skin
ner the characters are being rapidly
put in trim for the performance.
There will be special music by the
girls glee club and famous orches-
ira.
Some of the various side attrac-
tions are as follows: A moving pic
ture show, an art exhibit, laboratory
fireworks, vote for spring queen, a
ride on an aeroplane, fortune telling,
trip to the underworld, an auction
etc. There will be pop corn, candy
and ice cream cones to add to the
carnival atmosphere.

DO YOU FAVOR
PASSAGE Of
HOUSE b|LL176
CONTRIBUTOR SAYS IF NOT IN
FAVOR NOTIFY YOUR
REPRESENTATIVES

A contributor brings in the follow
ing calling attention 10 House, Bill
No. 176 which is explained in the ar
ticle, as follows:
Do you want the full time, full paid
county health officer bill known as
House Bill No. 176?
The bill provides that in every
county of 10000 population or more
there shall be appointed a county
health officer. A county containing
less than 10000 population can be
combined with one or more like coun-
ties with one health officer over them
all and all must bear their share of
the expense.
This appointment is to be made by
the Board of Supervisors but they
are limited in their selection to names
of physicians reported by the State
Commissioner of Health as having
passed an examination before the
State Advisory Council of Health.
All these people are allopathic ply
sicians and it may be safely assum-
ed that no one will be recommended
for such an appointment who rs not
at that school.
These county health officers will
receive salaries ranging from S3,OuU
to $4,000, depending upon the popu-
lation of the county, one half to be
paid by the state and one half by the
county. They will be under the dir
ect authority of the State Commits
sioner of Health who is empowered
under the bill TO make rules and reg
ulations governing their actions. The
bill would confer almost czar-like
powers on such health officers in GER
tain cases, and ii step in the at
tempted allopathic medical domina-
ton of the citizen. The bill would
tend to build up a political machine
of no mean proportion and would
make a considerable increase, not
only in state taxes, but in the coun-
ty tax as well. If you don't want the
bill write to your state representative
telling him so, at once.

Congregational Church Notes

Proceeding his sermon at the close
of devotions, Sunday morning, Rev.
w. j. Rookie, the pastor, took occa-
sion to make an eloquent appeal for
the starving people of China, out
lining in brief the trouble, distress of
the inhabitants of many parts of that
country on account of the shortage
of crops and provisions of the thous-
ands dying from starvation and of
the immediate need of assistance
The collection and pledges for the
relief fund amounted to about eighty
dollars. This amount certainly should
be augmented by a systematic drive
on the part of the city for further
pledges. The pastor then gave a SER
mon taking for his text "Jesus said
unto them, am the way, the truth
and the life". and gave a very for
cible and thoughtful Interpretation of
the words of the Master to the large
congregation present. Easter service
will be observed next Sunday with
reception of candidates for member
ship in the church. Special music
will be prepared by the excellent
choir, the church now has to be used
in the Easter service.
