LIONS CLEAN UP
HANGING LAKE GROUNDS

Undaunted by rainstorm and lots
of mud, the Lions club, twenty-five
strong, armed with picks, rakes and
shoves, journeyed to Dead Horse
ing lake, one of Glenwood s greatest
scenic attractions, determined to put
the "place in order.' One onlooker
aptly described it when he said, "The
Lions are working like bunch of
beavers. Cutting down old trees,
pulling old posts, burning trash and
rubbish, planting grass seed and build
ing new bridges constituted n great
part of the cleanup work.
The road camp that had previously
occupied this setting with its dilapi-
dated buildings, dirt and rubbish, is
no more-in its place an attractive
camping or picnic grounds that sends
out an inviting appeal to any traveller
who passes that way. This campaign
is just forerunner Of what the Lions
are expecting to do in the way Of
bringing our scenic attractions before
the tourist.
Although the work accomplished
Tuesday was wonderful improve.
ment, the Lions are going one point
further and In the near future will
erect tables, benches, ETC., to make
the place more attractive and conven-
lent. They are asking the co-opera-
tion Of the town people to help keep
the place in neat order, to be careful
with fires, not to scatter papers and
rubbish about the place, to put the
grounds in the same order as they
found them. In this way 1t will be
an easy matter to keep up the good
work that has already been started.
II you believe in your town and its
natural scenic beauties, do your bit
by giving a few minutes to cleaning
upyou camp and seeing that others
do the same.
Keep up the good work, Lions.

mount OF THE HOLY CROSS
SECTION RICH IN LEGEND

a wealth of very absorbing legends
are connected with this natural cross.
Colorado Indian folk lore and the tales
of Spanish conquestadores have Gre
ated this store. Perhaps the most
striking is the one immortalized by
Eugene Field for it tells the story Of
how the wandering Jew who as car
penter formed the CROSS on which
Jesus died and was for this condemn
ed never to die. He came, all hoary
with the weight of centuries, to .
Spanish settlement near the Mount
when there was no CROSS there, and
begged the Spanish friar Padre Miguel
to pray to God, "that he might be 80
blessed as to die The holy monk
complying with his request knelt in
T1ayer. Not long after the wandering
Jew died at the foot Of the mountain
and was buried by the Spaniards. In
time pile of sun-bleached bones
were to lie seen on the mountain side.
From these there suddenly sprang up
the beautiful white cross we may now
see.
Another legend Of interest records
that many years ago when Franciscan
friars were earnestly engaged in the
grand work of converting the inhab-
itants of Mexico to the worship Of
the true God, monk in Spain yielded
to the tempter and committed an un-
pardonable sin. 1t was revealed to
him in vision that when he saw .
cross suspended in the air it would
be a token of his forgiveness. Then
he became filled with feeling Of un-
rest and longed to travel. He Joined
an expedition to Mexico and wander
ed over the country in search Of the
sacred symbol until his hair was
frosted and his limbs infirm with age.
Finding no rest for his soul, he joined
an exploring party coming north. By

Representative Rees Says He
Could Not Support Them
as Drawn---T Why
PRINCIPLE IS WRONG

The Moffat tunnel bill and the Pu-
eblo conservation bill both received
the sanction of both houses of the
state legislature and have been signed
by the governor and, unless declared
unconstitutional, will become the laws
of the state, and yet Representative
Rees of this county opposed them both,
although he says he really wanted to
support them, but he just could not do
it on account of the faulty manner Of
their construction and the many loop
holes left in them for fraud and graft,
and believing that they deny to the
people the rights which are supposed
to be guaranteed to them by the con-
stitution Of the United States and of
the state of Colorado In discussing
his attitude, to representative Of
The Post Mr.. Rees said:
~ did not favor them inasmuch as
the people have been led to believe
that only the districts to be bonded
were in any way interested in the mat
ter. While it may be true that 30
long as they were to pay for the i'm
provements they should be allowed to
do as they please, still I did not think
it right to jeopardize the future well
fare of the state by passing bills that
contained provisions such as were in
corporated in these two.
81 believe in the constitution of the
United States and in the constitution
of the state of Colorado, and it is my
opinion that we can do no better than
to support both, not only in the letter
but also in the underlying principles.
"To deny any people voice in the
matter of taxation such as has been
done in both cases is, I think, wrong,
ana is apt to lead to something that
we will all have cause to regret.
, "I may be wrong, and hope 1 am,
but could see no necessity for put
ting those two bills through as they
were drawn, denying the people who
are to pay for the improvements the
right to say whether they wished to
be bonded at all and for what amount
81 could not wish the power given
to anyone to sell bonds without limit
for any improvement in my district,
and think that most people feel tho
same way in regard to the matter.
"Unless am mistaken, promoters
and grafters will, if these bills arc
held to be constitutional, at once get
busy agitating and promoting various
schemes in different parts of the
state and at every session of the leg
islature endeavor to pass bills, that
they may have an opportunity to ply
their trade at the expense of the tax
payers. Anyway have not regretted
my stand, and I am willing to take
my chance on future developments,
every truly yours,

PANN1Na THE RIVER FOR GOLD

A number Of Glenwood citizens, un-
der the style Of the Glenwood Mining
and Leasing company, have formed an
association to save the gold which they
know exists in the bed of the Colo
RADIO river few miles above State
Bridge, northwest Of Wolcott, and have
recently put in considerable equip
ment and expect to begin operations
in real earnest in the very near future.
Property in this vicinity was worked
over twenty years ago, and while the
sand showed heavy gold values, NO
method then known would save the
yellow metal, and the efforts were
abandoned. Now It Is believed BY tie
Glenwood men that by later devices
and better equipment they will be able
to save the splendid values which arc
shown by the assays.
