Delegation Asks Governor to Call Election Of
Tunnel Commission as Required by Law
Purpose Election Of Farming District Man
to Keep Expenses Down to the Minimum

Declaring the Moffat tunnel is n
structure intended for transporta-
ton and unquestionably n public i'm
provement for public use, the su-
preme court handed down a decision
Monday unfolding the constitutional
ity of the Moffat tunnel act. The
opinion was delivered by Justice San
ford.
The justice further held that moth
in the bill is arbitrary, capriciious or
confiscatory and concludes: "The
judgment of the supreme court Of
Colorado was plainly right and rs the
questions presented do not require
further argument, the alternative
motion of the defendants in error,
(the tunnel commission) Is granted
and the judgement is affirmed"
Use of the tunnel will shorten the
distance between Denver and Salt
Lake City some ITS miles, eliminat-
ing the steep grades and frightful
"HlcT "SutHcI
Mt the continental divide.
Work on the tunnel will start very
soon according to the commission.
Following an article IN the Denver
Post which declared the commission
appointed by Gov. Shoup would re-
fuse to call an election Of commits.
sioners because Of the inability of the
commission to find sufficient funds,
residents of the Arvada community
presented demands to the governor
for an election to be held as stated
in the tunnel act. The committee
which called on the governor this
Thursday, afternoon was composed
of J. F. White. Richard Mingus, x
l.. Newton, F. C. Murchison and c
X. Buck.
/ The concensus of opinion Of Ar
vada people seems to be that though
the community fought the plans o.
assessments on the tunnel. that nov
the tunnel is assured, jefferson
county should have some say in tn
matter Of who represents the east
crn slope. Ugly rumors are persis
tent that all members Of the pres
cnt commission from w. side Of tn
range are representatives of som
company or interest seeking to fuI
nish supplies for the constructio
people.

STRAWBERRY GROWERS TO
RECEIVE GOOD PRICES

I IL k(il jbe interesting 10 local
strawberry growers to note that the
growers in all parts Of the country
who have marketed their strawber-
rics so far, have received prcntcr
price than prevailed last year, due TO
unfavorable growing conditions in
all sections Of the country.
At present the home grown pro-
duct is not meeting the sale and the
price It should because Of the Mis-
souri, berries which are coming into
the market. This crop will not last
long as the crop there is short also,
government reports showing that n
yield Of thirty to thirty-fivc crates
per acre Is average.
At present it looks as though the
local growers will receive better
rate than last year.

Fiiremen Test Out
New Siren Felt
Need of Arvada

The fireboys Wednesday were
testing out a fire siren on the cor
ner of Wadsworth and Grand View
and most people in the neighborhood
had visions of Gabriel and his horn
at least. The big noise maker was
being demonstrated by the Firefoam
company of Denver.
1nsistent, penetrating and COM
handing the company advertises -
the siren is made for a radius Of two
miles.
The city officials as well as the
firemen are contemplating the cree
ton of siren tower over the city
hall and contemplate at present an
electrically driven siren with switches
at the city hall and also at the tele-
phone company for night alarms.
The Enterprise suggests that the
siren when placed be blown at noon
each day as an accommodation to the
working public and also as safe
guard to keep the siren in working
condition.

ABRAMS MACHINE
INSTALLED HERE
DENVER M. D. BRINGS OSCILLl.
CLAST TO ARVADA..MACHINE
WORKS ON VIBRATION AND
ELECTION THEORIES CON-
BlNED IN DELICATE MACHINE

C. A. Ellis, NJ. D., of 1887 East
Colfax, Denver, is installing an
Abrams "Oscilliclast" at the home
Of Mrs. Grant Griffith, $50 East
Grand View avenue, Arvada.
The machine, according to the doc
tor, is the much talked-of machine
invented by DR.. Abrams of San Fran
cisco, and many remarkable cures
are recorded for it there. The ma
chine works on the theory that the
electrons, the smallest unit of which
scientists have become aware. have 3
distinct and specified rate of vibra-
ton. Every disease also has sep
arate rate of vibrations for its cleo
irons. The oscilliclast destroys the
disease germs through attacking its
vibrations, in other words either op-
posing or coinciding as the case war
rants until the disease electron is
completely destroyed.
The machine placed here by doctor
Ellis will be in direct charge of a
trained nurse, supervised by Mrs
Griffith and the doctor hopes soon
to be able to arrange his practice Sc
as to be here certain days in the
week also.
According to DR.. Ellis, all diseases
will be treated by the machine and
chronic cases are especially suscept.
ible to its vibrations.
Arvada people will watch with in
terest the work Of the machine.

LESS FARMERS WILL REPORT
TO COUNTY ASSESSORS, 1928

Approximately 10000 farmers
will repor, to the immigration depart
ment Of the state through county
assessors, or somewhat fewer than
rorortcd last year. The acreage Of
crops cultivated on many Of the
farms reporting will be less than last
year and the total acreage in cul-
tivntion will be the lowest in several
years due principally 20 the unfav-
orable climatic conditions in certain
districts and to unsatisfactory finan.
cial conditions among the farmers as
a result. Of low prices for farm pro-
ducts and other causes.

ULRIcH.TABER

A near tragedy was averted Satur-
d,y when young couple came from
Denver at a late hour and called for
assistance in the matter of being
married. Failing to find justice of
the peace within reach, they sought
the agency Of Rev. A. C. Hoover. Az
Ter nearly demolishing the place,
they got the parson to the door, who
declared few witnesses were neces-
my. Buck refused to get up, Davis
vas asleep, Olson couldn't hear and
Faris wouldn't go. The groom, in
despair was almost ready to give up
and went back to the parsonage to
rt his breath. Then it was that the
parsonage family came to the rescue
and the deed was done. G. B. w.
rich and Miss Rachel Taber were the
happy pair. Mr.. Ulrich has lived in
Arada for some time.
