OILING OF STREETS
AT OWOSSO IS BEGUN

OWOSSO, April 81. - Oiling of
streets was begun Monday morn
ing.
The city is using a different
method this year than they have
in the past. This year only one
side of the street is oiled, leaving
one half open for traffic.
The expense of oiling the
streets throughout the city this
wear has been reduced largely be-
cause of the driver being equip
ped with a truck, thus making it
possible to spread a car load OF
oil a day.

CANVASS OF VOTES
NOW in PROGRESS

County Clerk Frost and Justices of
the Peace Pearson of New Castle and
Pings of Carbondale constituting the
canvassing board wh.c is provided for
by law, are very busy making the of
ficial- canvass of the election returns
for Garfield county.
They are proceeding with great care,
realizing that the title to the off &c
of county sheriff may depend on the
accuracy of their work.
AT the beginning of their task they
found that the election Judges in one
of the Grand Valley precinc had
failed to return to the county clerk a
poll book showing the precinct count
This book, through mistake on the
part of the election board in that pre-
cinct, had been locked in the ballot
box.
Tho matter was explained by the
eanvassing board to Judge Shumate,
who issued an order authorizing the
board to open the ballot box and pro-
ceed with the count, just as though no
error had been made.
The count is proceeding slowly on
account Of the great care that is nee
essary and, inasmuch MS the absent
votes, 63 in all, are not being counted
separately, but in connection with tho
vote Of the precinct in which the voter
resides, the result cannot be definitely
known until the last precinct has been
counted and the votes totaled for the
entire county. The board claims that
the count cannot be finished before to-
morrow evening.

structures to be used in connection
with devotional exercises" and "that
adequate spaces be provided for public
camping grounds or buildings which
may be required in order that the pub
lie needs may be fully met"
Only sixteen miles of really new road
are needed-that over Loveland and
Shrine passes-to connect Denver with
Red Cliff, Colo, and thereby link Den

1t is 291 miles from Denver to Red
Cliff by railroad; after Holy Cross trail
is completed, the distance by auto will
be only ninety four niles! And It will
be only eighty seven miles from Denver
to Shrine pass, where it is proposed to
build great religious shrine, the OBJ
iect of gigantic pilgrimages unlike any
other in the world. Such journey
could easily be made by automobile in
a day from Denver.
Obviously there are invaluable busi-
ness and trade advantages to be de-
rived from the early construction of
this highway, both to Denver and the
prosperous Western Slope country and
the mountain mining towns. Such a
short, direct route connecting with the
Ocean-to-Ocean highway means for Den

NOBLE woman TO
HER REWARD
Mrs. Jane N. Goodwin, a Pio.
neer of Colorado Lives to
Ageof Ninety lone Years
INTERMENT IN ASPEN

Mrs. Jane NJ. Goodwin, who has been
seriously i'll for the past three weeks,
passed to the great beyond Sunday af-
ternoon at 1870 O'Clock.
Mrs. Goodwin was born in Bale
Verte, New Brunswick, on March 5,
1881, and would have been ninety two
years of age had she lived until next
March. She was the third oldest of
sixteen children, and after the death
of her mother she reared seven of her
younger brothers and sisters to man
hood and womanhood. She was mar
ried in 1850 and was the mother Of six
children, all of whom are dead with
the exception Of Mrs. M. I. Silver of
this city, with whom she made her
home.
Deceased came to Colorado in about
the year 1882, settling first in Buena
Vista and later going to Aspen where
she lived until seven years ago whom
she moved to this city. Her husband
died in the year 1895.
Mrs. Goodwin's life was one of
great strength of character and love,
and many hearts were touched when

GOVERNOR TO HAVE
SIX APPOINTMENTS

Denver, Nov. 15.-According to a
survey that has been made of the state
house, Governor-elect Sweet has only
six jobs to fill. They are: President
of the state land hoard, budget COM
missioner, industrial commissioner,
utilities commissioner, private secre-
tary and private messenger. OF these
Raymond Miller, president of the land
board and chairman of the Democratic
state commit ittee, is scheduled for re-
appointment. Hale Smith has been
made Mr.. Sweets private secretary.
This leaves the industrial commits
sioner, utilities commissioner and bud
get commissioner as jobs to be filled.
Labor yesterday began urging William
G. Tanner rs labor commissioner to
succeed Hiram r. Hits, Democrat,
whose term expires next March. This
is a $4,000 a year job. Tanner was
indorsed for secretary Of state by the
State Federation of Labor in Trinidad,
but was defeated in the primaries. He
refused to run as an Independent can
ddate against James r. holland, and
fought for the election of Sweet.

taxpayers to know that even slight
reduction has been made. This desira-
BILE condition has only been made pos
sible by the strictest economy on the
part of the board, and desire to keep
up the improvements necessary for the
public good, and yet with a minimum
of public cost. Last year, because of
the increased demands on the commits
sioners, the board felt obliged to make
slight increase in levy, in order to
meet the necessary demands.
This year it is not possible to make
anything but small reduction, but this
is done in the belief that the peak has
been reached and that the necessary
work of county administration will cost
less in the future, and that the levy
may be slightly lowered each year.
The county levy fixed by the board
for this year is 15.2 mills as against
1876 mills last year. The state levy
this year is 4.4S mills as against 435
last year. In Glenwood the levy has
been fixed at 14.3 mills as against
15.5 mills last year, and in School Dis
trict No. l the levy has been cut from
Sc mills last year to So mills this
year, which is very substantial re-
ductiOn, and when it is remembered
that out of this So mills levy there is
to be set aside 3 mill for redemp-
tion fund for taking up a $4,000
bond issue which will not be due until
January l, 1924, it will be seen that
the school board is working with the
county board on an economy program
that is most commendable. ....

(By Arthur Robinson in Denver Post)
Holy Cross Trail, the proposed $780,
900 highway over Loveland and Shrine
passes, 1000 feet above the sea, link
ing Denver to the Western Slope with
a saving of 100 miles, and determ ming
the Queen City of the Plains as the
gateway to the far famed Mount of the
Holy Cross, must be built this coming
summer
This is the conviction of the group
of men comprising the Mount of the
Holy Cross association, of which Gov
crnor Shoup and Mayor Bailey are
president and wee president and of
which Father j. P. Carrigan of Glen
wood Springs, Colo, is chairman. A
campaign to obtain place for this
nationally important project in the
budget of the state highway depart
ment, which would make possible the
summer, is be ng inaugurarted.
Inasmuch as the $6,OOO,000 state
highway bond issue has been voted
overwhelmingly by the people of Colo
RADIO, it is expected that the associa-
tion's efforts will be looked upon with
favor by the state highway department
and that the "Way of the Cross will
be opened sometime next summer to the
tens of thousands of Coloradoans and
visitors who have never enjoyed the
glory of the Mount. OF the Holy Cross

the crest of the Rockies. The road has

The Glenwood post., 1922-11-16

expected that 100000 worshipers will
gather at the shine on July 16 to cole
trate the Feast Of the Triumph of the
Cross. Father Carrigan declares. The
Cross, formed by deep crevices in the
mountainside filled with everlasting
SHOWS, may be seen at it's best about
this time of the year, the season in
which Emperor Constantine of Rome is
supposed to have seen fiery cross in
the heavens, which converted him to
Christianity.
''The country in the region of the
Mount of the Holy Cross is the widest,
most sublime part of the Rocky Noun
tains," declares Father Carrigan. ...'No
place could be more appropriate for
worship than at the foot of this gigan-
tic natural cross.''
1t is proposed to make Shrine pass an
inter-denom national location so that
any religious body may hold devotional
services there. Many denominations
other than the Catholic church have un-
der consideration projects to erect
shrines or places of worship at the pass,
and hold yearly pilgrimages there.
AS tourist attraction the Mount of
the Holy Cross is almost indispensable.
Near the Mount there are numerous
wonder places of nature, such as Lake
Constantine, st. Helena Falls, the
" G ant s Wash Board,'' an unusual
rapids on Fall creek; Holy Cross city,
one of the phantom mining camps near
the Mount, through the streets of which
the deer now roam and which, forty
years ago, was a booming town boast
ing 500 miners.
Then there is the famous "Bowl of
Tears tiny glacial lake at the foot
of the Cross, which changes in color to
all shades of green and blue with every
passing breeze. Battle mountain, which
conta the largest zinc deposits in
America, looms nearby, rearing aloft
on its crest the town of Gilman, while
the famous Belden mine on Eagle river
lies at its foot Notch mountain, which
takes its name from deep notch in its
side, through which the Cross on the
Mount may be seen from Shrine pass,
is another attraction of extraordinary
interest.
The whole region is rich in legend
and story, as well as glorious, rugged
scenery. The romance of prospecto-
and Indian days and the always fasci-
mating tale of man S conquest of nature
lend an atmosphere wholly appropriate.
Father Carrigan and his co-workers
firmly believe that it is written in the
stars that the Mount of the Holy
Cross shall someday, and someday soon,
become the shrine at which all Ameri-
cans shall do homage.

Session Begun Last Monday
and Two Moonshine
Cases Finished
.BERSCHENYI CASE next

The regular term of the district
court was convened last Monday, the
FIRST day being taken up with the read
ing of the docket and setting cases for
trial.
The first case to come up for trial
was that against Frank Larry and Ma
rion Avi, charged with manufacturing
liquor and also with having liquor in
their possession. The defendants,
through their attorney, c. w. Darrow,
demanded a jury trial, and they went
to the bat Tuesday.
These men were arrested some time
age at AVIS ranch near Cattle creek,
by Marshal Thompson of Glenwood
and Undershcriff George L. Winters.
They were caught with Intoxicating
liquor in their possession, and large
quantity of mash, and the officers also
located a still in cabin on AVIS land,
and the men were in the act of leav-
ing this cabin when placed under ar
rest
The evidence was conclusive, but
Darrow excoriated the officers for
exceeding their rights" by invading
the sanctity of man s home, etc,
etc, etc, and in this contention he was
at least partially sustained by Judge
Shumate. In spite of this, however,
the case was apparently too plain to
leave any room for doubt as to the
guilt of the men, and the jury found
them both guilty on both counts.
Another moonshine case was that of
Bill White, arrested by Winters some
time ago at his ranch home near Grand
Valley. Although White on Monday
declared he was not guilty, said the
still and the liquor was not on his land,
that he was innocent of its existence,
that he had been away from home and
I'D not know what was happening and
that soon after he returned home he
was placed under arrest for something
he knew nothing about, which of course
was dirty shame. Asked as to his
attorney, he said he had made no ar
rangements about that. He was ad-
vised that he had better hire an attor-
ney to defend him, which he finally
did, and the next day he came INTO
court and, on the advice of his attor-
ney, he entered plea of guilty and
was fined 800 and costs.

s being made to secure jury to try
the case of the People versus Josef

of Walter Pagee on the streets of Glen
wood couple years ago. The entire

NAME FOUR SECTION HEADS
Farm Bureaus OF Kansas Are Divided
Into Districts.


Pratt, Kan, Oct. 31-Effective No
vember 1, four county agent leaders
will assume jurisdiction over as many
districts into which the state has been
divided by the Kansas State Agricui-
tural college extension department,
A. L. Clapp, who will be in charge of
the southwest district. The four sec
ton heads will have charge of all
activities of the county farm agents
under them.
There are six county farm bureaus
organized in Kansas and about eight
home demonstration agents. No
change is to be. made in the home
demonstration plan of administration,
Mr.. CIapp said.
Leaders of the four districts to-
gether with the number of counties
under each are as follows:
Northeast district-Karl Knaus,
seventeen counties.
Northwest district-F. A. Dawley,
eleven counties.
Southeast district-Geo gorge Sails
bury, eighteen counties.
Southwest district-A. l.. Clapp,
fourteen counties.
This new departure which takes eff
feet November l, Mr.. Clapp said, is
modelled after the plan that the fed
eral department of agriculture
adopted about two years ago. Head
quarters for the district leaders will
remain at Manhattan. This new plan.
it is explained, will afford the leaders
an opportunity to visit their territories
more frequently and to confer with
the county agents.

A TRACTOR SLUMP
Buying Slowed Down Last Year,
Says Mohler Report.
Total Number on March 1 Was
21,715, Survey Shows.

Tractor buying slowed down con-
siderably in Kansas during the past
year, according to bulletin issued to-
day by the state board of agriculture
showing the results of its 1922 tractor
census. The bulletin states that on
March 1, 1922, the farmers of this
state had PITTS tractors as compared
with 19.347 the previous year. The
per cent of increase was 1872 per cent
compared with increases of 1873 per
cent in 1921 and 65.5 per cent in 1920.
The number of tractors on hand in
Kansas the first year of record, 1915,
was 2,493.
Since 1915, the report points out,
the number of tractors on Kansas
farms has multiplied eight and one
half times. This is an increase of
755 per cent" Secretary Mohler, of
the board of agriculture, said, land
is a remarkable record for 7 years.
