Having failed in its purpose to come
to an understanding with Russia, the
Genoa economic conference has adj
journed to meet again at The Hague
on June 15. The reason of the failure
of the conference is inability of Great
Britain and France to agree on COM
mon policy in regard to the treatment
of Russia's attitude as to the private
ownership of property and the pay
ment of the debts Of the former gov
ernment. France is positively unwill-
ing to recognize The present Russian
government on a basis of its funda-
mental principles at least until it con-
sents to pay the debts that the former
Russian government owes to the
French people. Great Britain has been
showing anxiety to compromise the
whole situation, and unable to bring
about a compromise it was at last
agreed to POSTPONE the whole matter
instead of bringing the issue to for
NAL conclusion at this time. The de-
sire to secure the participation Of the
United States in further investiga-
ton of Russia's economic status is CIV
en- as the real reason for the postpone
ment. The plan now is to have all the
nations send representatives to The
Hague, and there turn over to a COM
mission the duty of investigating Rus
sian conditions at first hand, with the
understanding that if the commission
makes a favorable report the nations
will be free to make separate treaties
with Russia on such terms as may be
mutually agreed upon, but with the
further understanding that there must
be no such treaties until after the re-
port of the commission. The French
have agreed to this arrangement on
condition that there be no Russians
included in the personnel of the COM
mission, and the Russions have takeE
the position that no commission that
does not include Russians shall be ,ad-
mitted to the country. Great Britain
has suggested as a means of getting
around this that there be two commits
sions, one to include Russians and the
other not, and that the official finding
come through the commission that in
cludes Russians after it has heard from
the other commission. But all that is
still in the air and what is going to
come from The Hague meeting remains
to be seen. So far the Genoa meeting
has resulted mainly in giving the repre-
sentativcs of the nations more infor-
nation about Russia and Russian af-
fairs than they had before and that is
about all.

It gives The Yorkviiie Enquirer es-
pecial pleasure to announce that it
will be able this summer to give it's
readers a wond erfully interesting Sc
ries of European letters from a corre-
spondent who is we'll and favorably
known throughout this section. Sure
" none of our readers have forgotten
those entertaining and instructive let
ters that were written by DR.. John
Wilson Mcconnell, of Davidson COL
Iege. 1t will be remembered that they
dealt Nth all the conditions with
which the writer came in contact-war
conditions, social conditions, economic
conditions, and human interest Incl
dents, with a comprehensive insight
and n telling ability that ranked them
with the work of the best profession
ais of the time. DR.. Mcconnell will
leave for Europe again within few
weeks. He will be accompanied by
Mrs. Mcconnell, their son and n small
nephew. 1t is his intention to land at
Antwerp and take IN Belglum, Hol-
land, Switzerland and France, in
which latter country he will spend
few weeiis with friends of the war pc
riod. He does not expect to have any
special duties to perform except that
it is his intention to attend a few
clinics on eye and ear surgery and he
will have plenty of time to see the
things he wants to see and write
about them. So for the benefit of his
York county friends. he is going to
write number of letters to The York
vile Enquirer, and The Yorkville En-
quirer is going to take especial pleas
ure in reproducing those letters with
the least possible delay. DIR. Neon
nell expects to he away until some
time in September.

So far Genoa has MADE little head
way in settling any one of the three
great issues for which the conference
wss called. The questions, as common
ly understood in brief, were: l. How
best to settle the complicated accounts
of the war? 9. How to reestablish
commerce on a basis of mutual help?
3. How best to preserve peace
among the nations while they are try
ing to reconstruct a bankrupt world ?
All of the nations are unable to agree
to any of these purposes.

- Chicago has been the centre of ma
ton wide interest during the past
week because of the terrorism inaugu-
rated there by sO-called labor leaders.
\ number of newly finished or partly
finished buildings were destroyed by
bomb explosions. which the police
worked out as having their origin in
incendiary dissatisfaction with the
building trades decision handed down
by Judge X N. Landis some months
ago. Contractors and worlimcn have
been in dispute for many months and
a decision of Judge Landis was
thought To have settled the matter.
But radical labor leaders would not
have it that way and after several
partly finished buildings had been de-
Stroyed with bombs it became appar-
ent that the radical leaders had adopt
ed thar method of emphasizing their
opposition. Lieutenant Lyons and a
patTOlman Of the police force were
murdered last Tuesday because they
were pushing too close on the trail of
the inCendiarioS and since then about
two hundred arrests have been made
on the strength of alleged confessions
of labor union members Big Tim"
Murphy. with "FrcnChy" Nader and
Con Shea are believed TO be the lead
ers of the gang. All of them were un-
der Indictment for murder and Murphy
is under siX-year Federal sentence
for a $780, 900 mail robbery. 1t is com
monty appreciated that the situation in
Chicago is critical and those in author
ity promise to get all the machinery
of the courts under way at once.

WATER COMMISSIONERS MEET
WITHE DIVISION ENGINEER

Upon invitation of A. j. Dickson,
irrigation division engineer of Irri-
CATION Division No. 5, the water COM
missioners and deputies of the division,
to the number of seven, met last Mon
day in Mr.. Dickson IS office to discuss
the irrigation situation in this terri
tory and to plan the seasons work,
the chief object being to arrive at a
better understanding of the various
questions that confront the irrigation
men in their work, and to decide on a
more harmonious plan of action than
has heretofore prevailed.
An interesting session was held in
the forenoon, which was occupied with
general discussion of the work, and
after lunch the men adjourned to the
district court room where they con.
tinued their discussion. They were
visited by the county commissioners
who recognize the great importance Of
The Glenwood post., 1922-05-04

their work, but who are besieged on
every hand to economize in expendi-
lures as much as possible.
The county commissioners urged the
irrigation boys to hold their expenses
down to as low a point as possible
consistent with good service. The
commissioners recognize the value of
the irrigation men to farming sec
tion, and were very reasonable in
their suggestions.
Those present at the session were
A. j. Dickson of Glenwood, Earl Nc
Glochlin of Gypsum, j. V. Clem and
Jas. McGuirk of Grand Valley, l. W
Graham and b. A. McDaniels of Rifle
R. S. Glenn of Silt, and D. j. Llewel

The Glenwood post., 1922-05-04

The Roaring Fork region is conferred
at Aspen, the Crystal City of the Rock
les, nestled in it's mountain cradle
about forty miles from the junction Of
the Roaring Fork with the Colorado
river at Glenwood Springs. For years
the Aspen valley has been the center
of amazing activity in the silver min
ing industry of the state. The rich
strikes of high-grade ore in the Mollie
Gibson and other mines in the eighties
spread its fame throughout the land,
and similarly to the swift flash Of q
meteor across midnight sky, the COM
munity developed from few prospect
ors' cabins to thriving city of four
teen thousand people. Then came the
panic of 1893 and the metal market
became demoralized. A few properties
continued to operate until their high
grade ores were exhausted and only
those mines which contained low
grade ores that could be mined at a
profit survived. A few of these are
the business support of the community
at the present time.
In the days when the quest of the
precious metal sent men all over the
