PARENT-TEAoHERs
ASSOCIATION GROWING

The local Parent Teachers organiza.
tion is growing in interest as well as
numbers as evidenced by the meeting
held at the grade school building Tues
day evening. Mrs. Foote, the president
Of the association, presided in her pleas
ing and capable manner and although
no important business was transacted
number of new members were added
to the association.
The regular program of the evening
was preceded by community singing, ac-
companied by the high school orches-
ira. This was followed by two num-
bers by the orchestra, reading by
Ethel Nestell and a piano solo by Es-
ther Porter, all of which were appre-
ciated by those present.
A QUESTIONABLE concerning school
activities and an opportunity for max
ing suggestions as to new things for
school work was given out to the par.
ents and summary of the answers
and suggestions was given by Mrs
Blaine at the close of the meeting
Many helpful suggestions were con-
tanned in the summary, attention to
physical training was stressed by some
and several advocated the eight hour
day school with supervised study, a
course in nursing was also suggested.
1t was voted by those present to con-
slider the question at another meeting
of the eight hour day school and super
vised study which is being tried out
in some school systems at the present
time.
The meeting was brought to a close
by spelling match in which the men,
bers Of the eighth grade challenged the
parents to an old fashioned spelling
match. Katherine Mccarthy stood up
longest for the eighth grade, but she
was outspelled by Mrs. G. H. Weiden-
hammer on the parents side.
The mothers of the eighth grade pu.
pills served lovely refreshments at the
close of the session which was one Of
the most helpful and informal meet
ings for some time, and marked high
water mark in Parent-Teacher circles
and is said to be only a foretaste OF
what is to come.

That Tennessee pass, perhaps the

APPOINTMENT
SUSTAINED BY COURT

Denver, Jan. 1.-THE Colorado su-
preme court upheld the validity of the
appointment of Patrick J. Hammock as
state civil service commissioner today.
Among the cases pending before the
Colorado supreme court, probably none
excites greater political interest than
the contest of Elizabeth Queareau for
the place on the state civil service COM
mission held by Patrick J. Hamrock.
Elizabeth Quereau was Governor Will
liam E. Sweet 's first appointment when
he assumed office January last year.
On January 2, 1923, Governor Oliver
Fl. shoup appointed Patrick J. Ham
rock, former adjutant general, for g.
year term on the civil service commits
sion. This appointment was said to be
on the theory that the term Of the
civil service commissioners began Jam
uary / instead Of January 9 when the
administration changed.
On January s, the day before Cover
nor Shoup's term was to expire, he
again appointed Hamrock to the civil
service commission, and this appoint
ment was said to be on the theory that
the term of the civil service commits
sion began at the first hour Of the new
administration, i. e., January Q.
Elizabeth Quereau brought quo war
rant proceedings early in January snd
the case came up before District Judge
Clarence J. Morely in Denver. Ham
rock answered the complaint, Elizabeth
Quereau demurred, being represented
by the attorney generals department,
Judge Morley overruled the demurrer
and the appeal to the supreme court
followed. Oral argument on the appeal
from the district court was heard by
the supreme court October 1.

Homestead Entryman Protected in
Home in Fight Brought by
Oil Sha|e Promoters
TIVE CASE WILL Be APPEALED

eral laws of the United States to the
lands in question, claiming that the
Summers lands conflicted in whole or
in part with contestants oil shale
mineral claims, J. D. Nos. 1, 9, 3, 8,
and F. D. No. Z. The case came to
hearing in the land office September
II, 1923.
The register and receiver find that
the land in question is oil shale in
character, insofar as it is underlaid at
some depths with great beds of that
material. They also find that the
Summers land is an average homestead
in comparison with the homesteads Of
today, on which one man might sue
ceed and another might fail, as is true
of any business.
As summary of the case the local
officers say: "Briefly it appears,
that no actual discovery Of oil shale
has been made on the land in contro-
versy, a requirement Of the law, al
though it must be admittedd that 1t is
apparently an unnecessary requirement
where oil shale claims are in consid-
Grafton: That these claims had been
allowed to lapse and wore 80 lspsed ot
the time of the passage Of the Leasing
act, Feb. 25, 1920; That sufficient as
sessment work has at no time been
done to hold these claims valid.
"We therefore find that the contest
of j. D. Freeman VS.. George L. Sum.
mers has failed and we render our de-
cision in favor of the contestee, up
holding his rights as homesteader, and
the validity of his homestead entries,
insofar as they apply TO this contest,
allowing to the contestant the usual
right Of appeal from this decision
within 80 days from and after the re-
ceipt by him or his attorney Of copy
Of this decision.

ARRESTED HERE
ON LARCENY CHARGB

Sheriff Winters and Marshal Thomp-
son last Friday placed under arrest
Merit Redmond and II. J. Hollis,
charged with entering the Dunn pool
hall at Eagle and stealing rug and
several other articles Of value.
In making search for the men the
officers entered the Harmon rooming
house on Blake avenue and found that
the young fellows had spent the pro.
vious night there. The stolen articles
were located in their room, and the
young men were soon found on the
street and placed under arrest. They
strenuously denied any guilt, but when
taken to their room and confronted
with the stolen plunder, they admitted
everything and said they were ready
to plead guilty and take a court SEN
tence.
The boys will be held in the county
Jail here awaiting the convenience of
Judge Bouck to hold court session in
Eagle and pronounce sentence.
The Glenwood post., 1924-01-10

The contest heard in the U. 8. land
office at Glenwood some time ago
wherein the homestead entry of George
L, Summers near Grand Valley was at
tackled and contested by J. D. Freeman,
applicant in behalf of certain conflict
ing oil shale entries, has been decided
by Register Spencer and Receiver Mer-
rill in favor of Summers, who has
lived on the land in question dur
ing the major portion of the past three
years. The case was hard fought on
both sides, c.. w. Darrow representing
Freeman, the contestant, while the
rights of Summers were defended by
Frank Delaney. The contest was long
drawn and the evidence voluminous,
some of it having but little bearing on
the real question at issue. The local
officers rendered their decision yester-
day, and it is believed that the case
will now be appealed to the general
land office at Washington.
On May 10, 1920, George L. Summers,
contestee, filed homestead application
in the Glenwood land office for 800
acres of land IN Sec. 9, Twp~1f g. r..
81 W. in the Parachute creek country.
This application was allowed May II,
1920, subject to the provisions and
reservations of the act Of July IL,
1914, the land having been classified
as valuable for petroleum and nitrogen
on May 90, 1915.
On May 10, 1920, Summers filed his
additional application under the stock

32O acres under the stockraising home
stead. act. This application was al
lowed January 1s, 1891.

Herrick sustains Town
Ordinance Which Prohibits
Pollution Of Water
QUESTION Of HEALTH,

In the district court last week
Judge Chas. 81. Herrick of Craig, sit
ting during the absence Of Judge Shu-
mate, found for the plaintiff in the
action brought by the Town of Rifle
against Ed McLearn who was charged
with violating town ordinance by
permitting his sheep to Craze and bed
near the towns source of water sup
ply on Beaver creek.
While it was not shown that tho
water the town has appropriated for
domestic supply had been polluted to
any appreciable extent, the court held
that the town officers were within
their legal rights in passing protec-
tive ordinance which provides that live
stock shall not be maintained or bedded
within 1000 feet of Beaver creek with
in five niles above the towns water
supply intake.
In the case of VIM. Wagner VS.. the
A. d. Shearer Estate, the court sus-
tanned motion by defendant IS attor-
ney for a nor-suit, and this disposes Of
this ugly and unfortunate quarrel.

Gilbert Grasse|y Given Jail
and Pen Sentence Released

Governor Sweet last Monday issued
another pardon, this time to Gilbert
Grasselly, prisoner from Eagle coun-

uary to 90 days in the county jail
for malicious mischief and from one
to one and half years in the state

reason that Sheriff Wilson held nit

for Grasselly's confinement on the

Grasselly was not placed behind the
bars, but was held by Winters in the
sheriff's office until the arrival Of
Stein with the mittimus, when he was
returned to his cell and is there held

MESA sT0ckMEN IN
ANNUAL MEETING

The Grand Mesa Livestock associa-
tion held its annual meeting at the
court house last Saturday. There was
goodly number Of the members pres.
ent, and although the cow business is
somewhat in the dumps at present, all
were hopeful for better conditions in
the future.
The most serious problem confront
ing this association is the problem Of
range, the range heretofore depended
on by the members Of this association,
known as the Grand Mesa ares, having
been overstocked to such extent that
the forestry officers have felt justified
in putting the ban on any further graz
ing in the Grand Mesa territory until
the range comes back. c-I
1t was therefore considered necessary
last year for the members to move
their herds to the Coffeepot area
where the high range is very good, al
though that country is very difficult
of ingress and egress, and the stock
men had considerable difficulty in
gathering their stuff, and they report
ed considerable loss, and much Of the
stuff still missing.
Tho salt allowance was fixed at nine
pounds per head, and after some re-
marks from J. A Blair and Rich
Thompson, representing the forestry DO.
partment, the old officers were re-
elected and the meeting adjourned.

William Anderson, an itinerant miner
and prospector of Swedish birth, and
digging around in the filth of this
humble habitation they soon discovered
two stills and quantity Of mash, a
little wine and some whisky.
Anderson admitted that it was all
his, but stated rather apologetically
that "he was not selling much-just
enough to get a grub stake.''
In the county court he was arraigned
on three counts, manufacturing liquor

Admits Misuse Of Mails in
Connection With an Oil
Stock Scheme
SENTENCE is DELAYED

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 4.-Pleas of
guilty in connection with indictments
charging misuse of the mails in the
promotion Of an oil stock selling scheme
were entered by Edwin G. Kingsbury,
attorney of Fort Worth, Texas, and
Charles Il. Kreigh, Pasadena, Calf, in
United States district court before
Judge F. Al Geigerr here late Thurz.
day. ~
yhss court granted the defendants
until April ID arrange their business
affairs before sentence is pronounced.
The charge carries with it maximum
sentence of five years. Imprisonment
plus fine of not more than 81 900.
Mr.. Kingsbury, mentioned in the
above dispatch, was for several years
a resident of Glenwood Springs and
Denver. While here. he was engaged
in the practice Of law, but soon after
moving to Denver he blossomed out as
an oil promoter and prospered abund-
antly.
Before he left Denver there were ru-
mors afloat to the effect that some of
his promotion methods were of rather
shady character, and after he went to
Fort Worth a report reached his Glen
wood friends to the effect that he was
being investigated by state and by
federal authorities on charge Of using
the mails in the promotion Of fake
oil proposition
Then for several months nothing was
heard from the Kingsburys, and friends
hoped that the accusations had proved
groundless. This hope was strength
ened when it was learned that Mr..
Kingsbury was candidate for the
Fort Worth postoffice, with very good
prospects of landing the appointment.
Then followed an account Of his arrest
on charge of misuse, of the mails, but
Kingsbury declared that the attack on
him was instigated by his political enc
mics for the purpose Of preventing him
from landing the postoffice appoint
ment.
The next news to reach Glenwood
is contained In the above Associated
Press dispatch, which will be received
with regret by the friends Of the
Kingsburys in this county.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 1.-The cotton market today was very broad and active with frequent fluctuations, but with the general trend upward. At one time during the afternoon prices were 64 to 6S points net higher and the close was near the top. The controlling bullish influences were the rains in the western belt, more rains in the east and an improved demand for spots. These influences made shorts uneasy, as did also a rumor that the govern ment would revise it's acreage total by taking into account acreage abandoned.
 The start was firmer in sympathy with higher cables than due, December showing a gain of IS points on the first trade, After October had traded up to 21.15c and December to 21.30c, or 2S points above the previous close, the market eased off owing to the issue Of several private condition reports which were regarded as decidedly bearisn; m oe- tober and December later traded S3 to SS points below the highs of the morn ing. Around. noon the tnnarket became decidedly firm and all months advanced to new highs during the afternoon, with October, December and January going 61 to 63 points above the low of the morning and 64 to 6s points above the previous close. The close was near the top, showing net gains for the day of 5s to 60 points.
 Three condition reports were issued during the day.
 one made the condition 5S and the indicated yield on its own acreage 12,- 72O,O00 bales; another gave condition Of 57. 40 and a yield of 13,019, 900, and the third made condition 57.60 and the crop 13, 100000 bales.
