According to Attorney L.. f. Arm

large audience Tuesday afternoon at
the City Hall, this valley is now so
situated that Il government project
may be secured if the people will get
together and bring every possible in

On the other hand, if we are willing
to sit still and say or do nothing, we

in the matter.

G. ID. Buchanan, Resident of Saratoga
for More Than Twenty Years,
Passed Away Saturday.

At 10 80 O'Clock Saturday morning,
Gilbert ID. Buchanan, "a years of age
aud for the past % years a resident of
this community, died at his home in the
south part of town. He had been in
failing health for several months and
passed away peacefully and without
pain.
Deceased was born at Youngstown,
Ohio, May s, 1914. With his family
he located in Saratoga in 1898, and he
had resided here continuously since
that time. He is survived by one son
and two daughters: A. Il. buchanan of
Coalmont, Colo. Mrs. Nirgie l.. Hunt
ington of Greeley, Colo, and Mrs.
Drucilla Edwards Of Saratoga. The
wife and mother passed away here
some twenty years ago.
Mr.. Buchanan was one of natures
.noblemen-a generous, manly man, and
his friends were legion. For man,
woman or child, saint or sinner, he had
always Il cordial greeting; h was a
devoted husband and kind, and indul-
gent father, and withal was one Of the
most venerable and lovable men the
writer has ever known.
The funeral services were held at
the Episcopal church ON Monday after
noon, conducted by Rev. Il. Emmett
Abraham of Green River, formerly
pastor of the local church, who paid a
beautiful tribute to the memory of the
deceased. Interment was in the local
cemetery, beside the body of his wife.

No estimate was made of the amomt

will go to Cheyenne Mt the same time

mated that about $4,000 will be neces-
