MILLER RESIGNS AS ENGINEER

After an animated and more or less
stormy session Of the city council last
Monday evening, Maurice L. Miller,
engineer in charge of the construction
of the city's new water works system,
rendered his resignation, after the city
council had offered to pay him $500 in
full for all claims for his services up
to date.
1t is reported that Mr.. Miller has re-
Gently been awarded $4,000 contract
for the construction of a municipal
sewer system at Palisade, and that he
is anxious to get started on the new
work. The work on the Glenwood tun-
mel will proceed without interruption,
as it is now in good hands, and very
satisfactory progress is being made.

S0APSUDS and BOOZE
BAD MIXTURE

Soapsuds and booze form a bad com
bination, according to the experience
of j. a. Clark, erstwhile laundryman
at the Hotel Colorado, who was arrest
ed last Monday and taken before Po-
lice Magistrate Rice on double charge
of drunkenness and unlawful possession
of liquor.
Clark plead guilty to the drunken
ness charge, but denied the insinuation
that he had been guilty of having
liquor in his possession, bue he did not
claim 10 have arrived at a state of in
toXication through the use of water or
soapsuds, and he likewise failed to ex-
plain how he could get drunk on liquor
without having liquor in his-posses-
sion.
On his plea of guilty, Magistrate
Rice fined Clark $40 and costs, but
held him on the other count until
Tuesday when the prisoner entered
plea of guilty, saying he purchased a
bottle, said to contain cider, and that
this was what had made the drunk
come. He claimed that he did not
know the name of the party of whom
he made the purchase, but it is known
that he and b. A. Shattuck, cook,
had a merry auto r.de, finally landing
in the alley in the rear of the Deacon
livery barn, where they INDUCED in a
drunken snooze
The case against Clark on the charge
of having illegal possession was con
tinued until Tuesday when he entered
a plea of guilty, saying he purchased
some "cider' of some fellow whom he
did not know. On this charge he was
fined 800 and costs.
Later in the day the fellows admitted
that they purchased the liquor at a
ranch about Is miles below Glenwood,
on the south side of the river From
this description the suspicion of the
officers was at once directed toward
Frank Vale, who was arrested Tues
day afternoon and brought to Glen
wood after Officers Trimble and Lake
had searched his place and found in
eliminating evidence against him.
Taken before Judge Bell of the coun.
ty court on charge of possession,
vaile entered plea Of guilty and was
fined 500 and costs and was given
good lecture by the court which should
prove sufficient warning for him if

work in the county assessors office,
including the compiling of a complete
record of every motor vehicle in the
county, make, number, model, number
of engine, ETC., and also requires a
change in the form of the schedules,
this change being made this year by
rubber stamp.
1nasmuch as Assessor Simpson re-
ceived the new law and instruction CON
cerning the same from the tax commits
sion after his assessment roll had been
made up, he is now obliged to go all
over his work and make the changes
which the new law requires. This
work is now being done as rapidly as
possible, a day and night force being
employed for that purpose. Because
of this unavoidable delay, the abstract
of assessment will be completed at q
later date than usual, and it is for
this reason that the county commits
sioners will lat the request of the state
tax commission, continue their session
as a board of equalization until the
abstract of assessment is before them
and until all interested parties have
had opportunity to be heard.

The county commissioners were in

Only few complaints were filed,

work has been delayed because of the
passage of new law at the last legis-

BARNES PAYS PENALTY
FOR MOONSH|N|NG

J. W. Barnes arrested in Aspen some
time ago by Federal Prohibition Off
GERS Richardson and Trimble, and
since confined in the Garfield county
jail on charge of manufacturing
liquor, was given hearing in the
county court of this county last Tues
day afternoon. He entered plea Of
guilty to the charge of manufacturing,
and was given a fine by Judge Bell Of
5000 and costs, and ordered committed
until fine and costs are paid.
Barnes is the fellow who was oper-
ating in a lonely place on the White
head ranch last winter when the off
GERS searched the place and found por-
tions of still, together with watts and
casks in a cabin, and large quantity
of mash carefully concealed under a
nearby woodpile. George Whitehead
was arrested at the time and fined
5000 and costs, which he promptly paid,
but his partner and accomplice made
his getaway, and was later located in
Aspen, where the officers believe that
he was also violating the law.
Barnes has not yet indicated whether
he will be able to pay his fine, or
whether he will board with the county
until the penalty has been liquidated.

DELINQUENT CORPORATIONS

Secretary of State Carl S. Milliken
has certified to the various district at
torEeys of the state list of corpora
tions totaling in number 2,064, which
have failed to file a report in the year
1928. OF this number 1,126 are of
Denver county alone and the remaining
93S are of other counties.
The law provides tina every corpora
tion of the state of Colorado shall file
report eeach year within sixty days
next after the first day of January.
If a corporation fails to file report,
all the officers and directors are liable
fer the debts of the corporation that
shall be contracted during the year
next preceding the time when the re-
port should have been filed, and, as
further penalty for such failure to fila
report, the. president and secretary of
the corporation are subject to fine
of fifty dollars.
If a corporation fails for a period of
five years to file report it is de-
clared defunct and imperative.

GARFIELD COUNTY
CAN RAISE CORN

The more or less prevalent notion
that this is not a corn country and
that owing to the high altitude and the
short seasons corn cannot be brought
to maturity in this section has been dis
proved by Amos Raston and his son,
Ira, at their ranch just south of Glen
wood, where they this year produced
splendid crop of corn of the White
Australian variety, the ears being
large and well matured.
The stalks grew tall and the ears
are well filled and the kernels are
hard and ripe and splendid for feeding,
and ms we have as yet had no frost,
Mr.. Ralston believes that this variety
of corn can be produced with safety
almost every year in this climate, and
he feels certain that it is sure bet
for dairymen as it can always be pro-
duced to the silo stage without trouble.
The ears of this variety now on ex-
hibition at this office furnish the best
proof of Mr.. Ralston's statement.

HEARING SENTENCE
IS SUSPENDED

last Saturday morning, being the
time fixed when Chas. Hearing should
report to the county court and choose
between paying fine of 800 and
costs of suit or serving a term of thir-
ty days in the county Jail, on a charge
and admission of having liquor in his
possession, the accused appeared and
stated that he was unable to pay the
cash fine, and as a defense against
prison sentence he produced certifi-
Gates of two Glenwood physicians as
to the condition of his health.
Judge Bell took these certificates
into consideration and therefore sus-
pended sentence during good behavior
or until the physical condition of the
defendant improves, or until further
order of the court.

new PREACHER FOR
GLENWOOD CHARGE

At the annual conference of the Meth
odist church, held in Boulder last week,
Rev. Philip D. Norvell of Aspen was
appointed as pastor of the Glenwood
Springs charge, and Mr.. Norveu will
conduct the services at the local church
next Sunday, both morning and eveI
ing, as per announcement elsewhere in
this issue.
Mr.. Norvell is young man who
comes highly recommended to the local
church, the Aspen people being very
loath to lose him, as his work as pastor
of the Community church at that place
has borne much good fruit.
The Glenwood peple are invited to
come out and hear Mr.. Norvell and get
acquainted with him and his family.
Rev. E. G. Estlow, who was pastor
of the local church the past two years,
has been assigned to Fruita. Rev. VIM.

Glenwood but for the past two years
stationed at Fruita, is made pastor Of

STATISTICS
OF GARFIELD COUNTY

The following statistics, comp.l led
by County Assessor Alex Simpson, are
as nearly correct, Mr.. Simpson ex
plains, as it was possible to make
them, although he believes the figures
are too low in the majority of in
stances, owing to the fact that many
farmers hesitate in giving the real
facts to the assessor or his deputies.
This reluctance on the part of the
farmers to answer questions and give
the desired information makes it very
difficult for the assessor to compile
reasonably accurate crop statistics:
Owners, 623; acres reported 113,047.

tions at Land Office
PARACHUTE PROPERTY

What constitutes farm? What arc
the characteristics of agricultural land,
or when does a farm cease to be u
farm and become an oil shale placer
claim? Or by what process is an oil
shale placer claim converted into a
farm? These and numerous other
questions of similar importance are in
volved in contest now being waged
in the local U. S. land office wherein
j. D. Freeman is contestant and Goo
L. Summers is contestee, the land n
controversy being a portion Of sections
l, and in township s. R. 81 west,
and located on the flattops near Para
chute creek, and at an altitude Of
about $500 feet.
The contest was the result of an
effort on the part of Summers to make
final proof on the tract of land on a
part of which he filed on May II, 1920,
and the balance on January %, 1921,
as homestead entry and enlarged home
stead entry.
The contestant alleges that the said
lands have been designated by the
United States as mineral lands and
that said lands are chiefly valuable for
the production of oil shale and min
erals. and were so considered and re-
garded long before Summers connected

claimant
The land in question embraces the F.
D. mineral claim No. 7 and the ]. D.
claims Nos. l, 2, 3 and 5, on which
contestant or his grantors filed April
IS, 1918.
Contestant alleges that the land is
wholly unfit for agricultural purposes,
being without any water available for
irrigation, that it is not even suitable
for good pasture, and that it is not
accessible for teams or wagons in any
direction, and that the contestee has
not over 10 acres of such land under
cultivation. The contestant therefore
asks that the land be held to be min
eral in character, and that Summers
be not permitted to make final proof
and perfect title thereto.
Contestee Summers denies the allega-
tions of the contest affidavit, claiming
that he settled on the land in good
faith with the intention of making of
it home for himself and family, and
says that he can prepare hay ground
to the extent of at least so acres, on
which he can produce enough hay to
feed at least 100 head of cattle, in
connection with the surrounding range
