about the cost Of town impsovemepts
as being too extravagant, but the only
extravagance there can b. in any such
progressiveness Is when We ret soak

When cement walks first began tax
ing the place Of the old board affair,
there was q general howl Of opposi-
ton. The same howl greeted electric
lights, and 70 on down the list Of all
necessary and progressive improve
ments. And without . doubt the
same growl will always be forthcom-

THE OLD RAILWAY DEPOT IN
THE OLD HOME TOWN

The railway depot building in the
country town-what memories it al
wsys arouses. The old depot is the
same in all small towns-it may be
painted red, gray or yellow, but the
same old Slated seats with the curved
iron partitions are strung around the
outside edges of the waiting room.
The same old unpublished soft coal
stove with its crooked pipe leading
high into the chimney is there. The
names Of the leading swains of the
town may be found written or carved
on the walls inside and out. while close
to the window which bears the in
scription Tickets" are found pile
sf books called tariffs anchored to a
small shelf by chain. These are for
the information of the public, so
sign reads, but what could the public
get out Of them when eighty per cent
Of the railway men themselves do not
understand their meaning. The same
cid smell of tobacco and soft coal i'm
pregnates the air within the waiting
room, the same old dust is on the win
dow glass, and from the holy of hol-
ies- the telegraph office, the private
domain OF the station agent-comes
the old familiar chatter of the tele-
graph instrument; and the man who
understands its language, who can
talk with it, stands head and should
ers above other men in the estima-
ton of the towns young people in
terested in the mystery Of telegraphy.
The old depot. 1t may be homely,
it may be a joke, yet it bade goodbye
the day you left the old town and gave
welcome when you returned. Your
loved ones have said farewell to you
on its old gravel platform and have
gone perhaps never to return. The
chattering instrument within has
borne your messages to distant climes
and in turn has conveyed news to you,
both good and bad.
Every building in town may be torn
down and rebuilt; the streets may be
changed and the stockyards moved out
Of town, but the old depot will ever
remain as landmark and memory.

Julius Barnes, president of the
Chamber of Commerce Of the United
States, declared in a recent speech
that the pre-war level Of wages has
gone forever, and insisted that an
economic system that can give every
one more of everything and bigger
real wages is system worth main
tanning and fighting for. That sounds
all right, but how about the present
effort put forth by big business every
where for the return of unrestricted
emigration, which means cheap la
Dor, poor living conditions and fur
ther congestion of the cities?

ARE WE PLANNING FOR
FUTURE PROGRESS?

What will Julesburg do in the way
of new improvements, or offer rs in
ducements for the opening Of new en-
terprises that will enlarge the growth,
business and prosperity of the town
and the surrounding community that
will induce more people to speak of
this as their home town and do their
trading and visiting here, that will
extend our trade territory out farther
and draw in people and their custom
from quarters that we have never
served before?
All successful plans are prepared
and thoroughly gone over previous to
their execution, and if there is to
be any progressive movement, along
the line of home town boosting next
spring and summer, the plans should
be in making right now.
Would it not be fine idea to hold
big get-to-gether meeting Of all citi-
zens of Julesburg and community and
there get the opinions and wishes of
all things that have to- be done and
things that ought to be done for the
betterment of our town and commun-
ity?
Smith could tell in the meeting of
some piece of public work over in his
neighborhod that should have receiv-
ed attention long ago. Jones could
tell of another over in his end of town.
Some one from the country district
no doubt would show up bad stretch
of highway that was losing the town
trade in bad weather. These could
be discussed and tabulated for atten-
tion at the earliest possible oppor-
tunity. Then it would be time for
new business to be brought up for
discussion, and thus the sentiment
of the inhabitants, along with their
ideas of what would best help and
boost our town, could be gained.
In this progressive age civic i'm
provements and civic pride dare not
sleep on the job unless we wish to
find our town and our business far in
the rear, outdistanced by the live

In Denver the traffic policemen are
being equipped with signal lights
red lights on the breast and back
and green lights on each side-and
the system is said to be wonder in
directing traffic at night. In the
average city, if the speeders paid no
more attention to these signals than
they do to lights at railway crossings,
the fatality of traffic policemen would
be appalling. In Denver. however,
the traffic laws have very sharp teeth,
carrying good stiff Jail sentence for
violations.
