Chautauqua Closes
Here Last Tuesday

The chautauqua conducted by the
Redpath-Horner Co. in Julesburg
during the past week, closed with a
splendid program given by the Jack
son Jubilee Singers Tuesday evening.
The program for the entire five days
was highly satisfactory as whole
providing much wholesome entertain
ment, of very pleasing variety The
attendance this year was not what it
should have been in view of the high
class attractions. However, it is be-
lieved that the chautaugua spirit will
be renewed here before another year,
and that the next years session will
see a much larger attendance. The
Julesburg Community Club has signed
a contract with the Redpath- Horner
Co. for five-day chautauqua in Jules
burg next year, and it is planned to
make it big event.

The stunts pulled off by these gen.

Two Winners

came from Rotterdam TO visit she
told them how she could go faster
than. any one on the canal.

to see who is the skater!"
THAT would be fun, Katrinka, -
said Jan. "Ill race you from here
to the dixie and back tomorrow.
Then wen see who is the skater.
And | will give a prize to the
winner" said JAMS father.
SO the next day Katrinka and Jan
polished up their skates anew and
laughingly leased each other as
they prepared for the race. The
whole family gathered out in front
to watch. At the word Co the
two racers bent low and started
off.
It was an even race to the dixie.
When they started back 1t was hard
for the watchers to tell which one
would win.

ka. "IIe is a boy and it would
shame him to have a girl beat him.
Besides, he's my company I don't
want to make him feel badly while
he is visiting US" And Katrinka
slowed down.
"I'll let Katrinka win this race
decided Jan. ut would hurt her so
to be beaten before all her family.
She might cry. Besides. I'm visit
ing here, and it would be more po-
lite to let her get the prize. She's
so kind and dear, | don't want to
hurt her feelings" And Jan slowed
down.
So the race slowed down. Jan
kept his eyes on Katrinka, trying
TO let her get ahead. katrinka
watched Jan, meaning to let him
get him get a start The watchers
in front of the house wondered
what had happened.

We notice two statements made by Charles M. Allen in the press of Friday and Saturday in which he charges that the city commission has made certain trades with the Birmin gham Trades Council on the construction of public buildings,
 We emphatically deny that any agreements whatsoever have been made with the Birmingham Trades Council. There has been only two questions brought to the attention ef the commission, and they were brought several weeks ago, both of which relate to the work being done on the Phillips high school building One was that tho contractor was doing work on a nine-hour day basis and that the eight-hour ordinance in this respect WAS not being compli- ed with.
 The city commission took up this matter with Mir. Jacobs, the contrac- tor. and advised him of the eight hour ordinance that was on the sta tutes of the city. Mir. Jacobs readily notified the city that he would com ply with the eight-hour ordinance and from that date has been doing so. The eight-hour day ordinance is on the statutes of this city, was put there by the old commission to gov sSn the construction of public build tngs in the city.

LOCKE SETS DATE
 FOR ROAD HEARING
Temporary Injunction North BeSsemer Construction to
 Be Settled June l

Final hearing in the litigation con- corning the North Bessemer road. construction of which has been held up for five months by temporary injunction. was yesterday set for June II before Judge Hugh A. Locke in chancery court.
 Temporary injunction in the case vas issued December 30, 1921, against the board of revenue and the Dunn Construction company on petition brought by William L. White. The Dunn company was awarded the contract st price of s367,65s.75 in April. 1920.
 The contention of White is that the contract was let at war prices and to comply with it now would mean loss Of thousands of dollars to taxpayers. He also claims that the contract was cancelled by action of the board in December. 1920, when "all outstand- ing contracts not completed or signed" were annulled.
 In demurrers filed February 2s by the board of revenue claim was made that the county does not consider the contract cancelled and that what the county would loose by having the road built at contract price Is more than offset by the s27,SSo premium rayed by the Dunn Construction com rany sometime ago for the purchase Of s3s4, 1000 worth of bonds from the county.
 The North Bessemer road is eight miles in length. It serves populous community and many citizens are demanding that 1t be built at once. ". K. Terry, county attorney. was instrumental in getting the case set for a hearing. Percy. Benners and Burr represent White and Tillman, Bradley and Baldwin are attorneys for the construction company.
