feet.
Senator Phipps predicts that Judge
Symes will not consider or permit any
scheme of reorganization or consolida-
tfon that does not guarantee the best
and most practical service to the pa
irons of the road.
Referring to the benefits of Re-
publican tariff, Senator Phipps cited
the tariff on sugar which enables the
Holly Sugar company to operate both
Of its plants on the Western Slope this
year, and guarantees growers very
satisfactory price for their beets. He
also reminded his hearers how the
emergency tariff stopped the flow of
Canadian wheat into this country, and
although the present low price of about
a dollar bushel for wheat is not very
satisfactory, he said he could not help
wondering what our wheat would be
bringing today if it had not been for
this recently adopted tariff
Speaking of the many serious prob
lens which confront the farmers, the
senator said that congress and the
national ADMINISTRATION are anxious to
do everything possible to make these
farm problems less numerous and more
easy of solution, giving our urban pop
ulation a chance to share in the gen
eral prosperity of the country.
Senator Phipps called for questions,
which he answered in very satisfac-
tory manner. At his suggestion, Mr..
Thorson called on those present for
some remarks, and Senator R. c. Callen,
Representative Claude Rees, Senator
Girard of Boulder, Joe Bells of Grand
Valley, Judge Noonan, Judge Bell,
Judge Beardsley and Editor Dickson
all spoke briefly.

their auto journey toward Denver Sun

Lowe, for many years residents of
Glenwood but more recently of Denver,

count of her marriage taken from the
Steamboat Springs Pilot:
j. Wallace Pearce, supervisor of the
Routt national forest, and Miss Frances

riage Tuesday of last week. The cere-
mony was performed in the rectory Of

Public Service Association
and Electric Light Assn
in Annual Meeting
INTERESTING PROGRAM

The twentieth annual convention of
the Colorado Public Service association
and the fourth annual convention of
the Rocky Mountain division of the
National Electric Light association
met Jointly at the Hotel Colorado in
Glenwood Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday, and the sessions were all very
interesting, instructive and helpful to
the members and visitors.
Monday was a very, busy day and
many very able papers were presented,
having to do with public utility ques-
tions, electricity lighting, laws regu-
lating these industries, etc. At $3.50
IN the evening very interesting ad-
dress was given by Hon. John T. Bar
nette, former attorney general of Colo
rado, and Democratic politician of
no small order.
MIR. Barnette took for his subject
The American Constitution and he
pad his respects to Governor Sweet
IN no very complimentary manner be-
cause of the recent attacks of the gov
ernor on our supreme court and su-
preme court decisions.
Mr.. Barnette's attack on the gov
ernor provoked considerable discussion
in view of the fact that Barnette cam
paigned for Sweet in the last state
election. "You connot grow figs from
thlstles," was one of Barnette's crit
ical remarks, which was construed as
having reference to Governor Sweet,
who has already shown his resentment
of the criticism by attempting reply.
1t is the concensus of opinion by
many that Barnette's s address here was
in the nature of a def to the governor
and the beginning of a series of ad-
dresses in which he will make his po-
sition more clear, the climax of which
will be his announcement of his candi-
dacy for the United States senate, as
an opposing candidate to Governor
Sweet.
The address by Charles r. Brock, an
other Denver attorney, on "Public
Utilities and the Menace of Public
Ownership was greatly enjoyed, as
it went into the history of public util-
tiles exhaustively and showed the many
unsatisfactory results of public owner
ship.
With card games for the ladies, pool
parties, golf parties, field sports, water
sports, dances and the banquet Tues
day evening, everybody had a splendid
time, and they all voted Glenwood
Springs the ideal convention city.

Talks to Republicans on the
Achievements Of Congress
and the Party
Pleasantly RECEIVED

AS many as possible of the Republi-
can county central committee and 9th
er Republicans of the county held a
meeting at the federal building rast
Saturday evening to greet Senator
Lawrence C. Phipps and Mrs. Phipps
who were returning from an auto tour
over Western Colorado to their home
in Denver.
Postmaster Ollie Thorson presided .,
master of ceremonies and in a brief
but interesting address in which he re-
ferred to the accomplishments of the
party since the beginning of the Hard
ing regime, and the part which Senator
Phipps had played by way of assisting
the late president to carry out the
party program, closing his remarks by
introducing the guest of the evening
to the Republican gathering.
After expressing his delight at the
opportunity of again meeting with the
Republicans of Garfield county, sena-
tor Phipps spoke feelingly of the late
President Harding, and as he was one
of the original Harding men and a
very close personal friend of the late
executive during his lifetime, he feels
especially the great loss which the
country has sustained in Mr.. Harding Is
demise
Tho - ha l.
ments of the administration, among
them being: The government spent less
money than it received by $1so,OOO, 900,
this being the first time such a record
has been made; settled the debt Eng
land owed America; brought about the
four-power peace pact; passed an emer-
gency tariff law to prevent many for
eign importations, to the damage of
American producers; passed more leg
islation in behalf of the farmers than
had ever been passed before; passed a
federal cooperative marketing bill;
passed n measure to permit the govern
ment to participate in the building of
roads, and many other measures of
great Importance to the people.
Speaking Of the value Of railroads to
the different sections Of the country,
and the manner in which they may aid
or retard the progress of country,
Senator Phipps referred to the Denver
& Rio Grande Western and the greatly
improved service of today over that
which prevailed a year ago, saying the
railroads were gradually getting back
to a normal condition, and realizing
that there was demand for better
service to the people. In this connec-
tion he highly complimented JudgeSJ

SUMMERS FIGHTING
ANOTHER CONTEST

George l.. Summers, who was last
week the defendant in contest case
waged in the local land office in
which j. D. Freeman was contestant,
and which involved title to the Sum
mers ranch or homestead claim on Par
achute creek, or rather which chal-
lenged his right to acquire title to same,
is now fighting another and similar
contest brought by The Standard Shale
Products company, by its agent, j. b.
Jenson of Salt Lake City.
The record of last weeks case is
very voluminous, amounting to about
10000 words, and indications are that
the present case will be nearly as ex-
tensive as the first. The reason for
the two contests against Summers is
that some of the property Of each of
the contesting outfits conflict with
portions of some of the Summers home
stead entry.
Estimates have been made on the
value Of the oil shale body underlying
the Summers tract, some Of the wit
nesses placing value Of more than
$4,000 per acre on the same-when
tho assessor ism t listening. Other wit.
nesses have been called to show that in
order for Summers to operate bona
fide ranch and make any sort Of sue

cess of the venture it would be neces.
sary for him to have and own a certain
amount of live stock machinery and
other equipment to much greater ex-
tent than is possessed by Summers.
Summers challenged the good faith
of the contestants and denied their
testimony as to the amount of devel-
opment work they have done on their
claims and the money expended for
same, and made very creditable show
ing as to his intention and efforts
toward converting the property into a
home as provided in the homestead act.
These contests are the most keenlv
fought and perhaps the most volumn.

ever been heard in the local land office

BERKELEY IS
SWEPT BY fire
Tremendous Loss of Property
When Grass Fire Gets
Beyond Control
FOREST FIRES RAGING

Berkeley, Calf, Sept. 1.-Two per.
sons are dead, hundreds of homes are
ruined, millions of dollars worth of
property was consumed and the entire
city of Berkeley was threatened as the
result of a grass fire which, running
out fcontrol because of a heavy north
wind, swooped through the Cragmont
district this afternoon and swept into
the more crowded residential district.
Two University of California stu
dents, unidentified, are known to have
fallen through the roof of a burning
building. A third person, unidentified
also, is believed to have been lost in
the residence district near the hills.
The section of the conflagration that
threatened the business section was
brought under control at University
avenue and Allston place at $3.50 clock
this evening"
At 4:30 vast columns of flames at
Allston place and Addison street gave
forebodings that the entire Berkeley
business district would go. Shattuck
avenue merchants moved out their Kali
uables. Officials of the University of
California, directly opposite the line of
flames, prepared for last ditch fight.
Then it all changed. The direction of
the wind was one cause. The vicious
norther became westerly zephyr.
Batteries of fire engines from Alame-
da, Oakland and San Francisco arrived.
Their combined efforts saved the city.
All the street car lines were para
lyzed as soon as the fire started and
are still out of commission in Berkeley.
Sporadic fires broke out from Hill
gard, south of the university campus.
All the houses on upper Leroy are des-
troyed, as well as all the houses on
Laloma avenue Houses on Shasta,
Hillside avenue, Hawthorne terrace,
Rosewood and Spring, and houses on
Arch street from Vine south were also
burned. Half of the faculty of the
University of California is homeless.
