clubs unite in a telegram to Secretary
Work, Senator Phipps and Congress-
man Taylor, asking that government
geological engineers be sent here to
further explore this territory and re-
port on the possibilities of the various
structures of Garfield county. A mo-
tion to this effect was carried unanim-
ously and Washington has already been
advised Of our wishes in this respect.
Thus it is believed that out of this

Commitment to Commissioners

General Verdict
AFFECTS REAL SAVING

No better index to the financial sta
bility Of county or the faith which
the business world has in its continu-
GUS prosperity can be found than the
readiness and favorable conditions un-
der which its paper is purchased when
placed ON the market.
s. Judged by this test Garfield county
took an advanced step yesterday and
justified her claim as one Of the safest
and most prosperous counties Of the
state when an issue Of $4,000 Of her
six per cent bonds, becoming optional
october 1, was sold for os1 par value
at four and half per cent interest.
Notwithstanding bond buyers had
advised delay in making the sale, say
ing the market WAS little off 1t this
time, the sale had been advertised and
the commissioners decided to make the
offer, intending to reject all bids If

they had already purchased a sufficient
number Of trees 10 plant in the park
and also along the curb line. The
board by unanimous vote agreed to the
request Of the committee.
NJ. J. Mayes, H. L .Torrey and DR..
Porter appeared as a committee on
auto park and camp grounds and re-
ported on the Investigations they have
made, describing the Noonan tract
across the Roaring Fork river and also
the portion Of tho Morton tract to the
east Of South Grand avenue. Mayor
Mcdonald referred the matter to a
committee composed Of Aldermen Wei
rick, Bosco and Mccoy.
D. O. Belden and Carl Fulghum ap-
peared in behalf Of the recently Or
ganined boys' band and requested TINT
the city purchase one bass horn and
three altos, the instruments to be the
property Of the city and to be given
out to band members only on an order
signed by their parents. 1t was made
clear that the city has heretofore pur-
chased several band instruments, and
they have all disappeared and the Al
dermen did not seem to take very
kindly to the matter Of city purchase
Of band instruments. However, the
matter was referred back 10 the com.
mittee for investigation as to second
hand instruments that might be had,
and the price Of same.

the offers were not satisfactory, but
they had not hoped for better interest
rate than five per cent, feeling that
reduction Of one per cent was quite
saving 10 the taxpayers.
Although several bond buyers were
present from outside points and others
submitted bids by phone, the Citizens
National bank OF this city made the
best bid, their offer being to take the
bonds ct two per cent discount and at
an interest rate of four and oue-half
per cent. and thus Mr. Bell shows his
faith in Garfield county, and puts US
on the map by showing that he consid-

credit course will be fifteen dollars.
The non-credit work will be the regu-
lar institute fee of one dollar. How
eevr, those taking the credit courses
do not pay the additional one dollar
fee if they wish to take any OF the
non-credit work.
This gives a real advantage to this
summer school, in that teachers can
get review work that will enable them
to prepare for teachers state examina-
tions and at the same time get college
professional work for teachers.
The state extension department will
see that there is ample supplementary
reading and reference books for each
course offered. Each course will have
its definite text and definite prepara-
ton is required each day.
The program will begin at 1880 in
the morning and close at 1915. This
will allow the afternoons for recrea-
ton and study. The management feels
that such an arrangement will be most
satisfactory to teachers and will make
it possible for visiting teachers to
truly enjoy Glenwood Springs.
The expense of the school for the
summer will approximate $2100, but
it is firmly believed that the course
will more than pay out as portion Of
the expense will be for institute pur-
poses for which there are available
funds
At the close of the conference the
extension representatives expressed
their hope that the Thirteenth Insti-
tute district might make such success
of the summer school that it would be
permanent thing. At present the in
dications are that there win be far
greater enrolment than is usually had
for institute. Glenwood' splendid
school buildings and her many attrae.
tions should guarantee an enrolment
Of not less than two hundred teachers
this year. It should prove one Of
Glenwood . finest summer attractions
this year.

1t is now an assured fact that Glen
wood Springs is to have a summer
school for teachers. This summer term
will begin on the same date the sum.
mer school at Boulder and will close
July 10. The professional teachers
courses that are offered will have full
credit toward A. B. degrees at the
State University, State Teachers col
lege and other state schools.
The details of this extension summer
school institute was worked out at the
state conference in Boulder by the col
lege extension departments of the state
schools last week. 1t was through the
untiring efforts of County Superin-
tendent Mrs. Gretta Pottenger and
Superintendent w.. D Blaine that the
plans were worked out so favorably
for this district. Last August at
Steamboat Springs vote showed that
more than one hundred teachers in at
tendance at the Thirteenth annual in
stitute would attend a five-week insti-
tute if credit courses could be given.
The matter was taken up promptly
with the state superintendent who was
favorable to such plan and who was
instrumental in getting the four state
schools to agree upon the plan which is
tn he carried out
Both credit and non-credit courses
will be given in the school this sum
mer, the credit courses having been
outlined by the four schools and the
faculty selected by the state schools.
The same credit for these courses will
be granted as is granted at the mother
schools Psychology, education, Amer
lean literature, college English, current
history, American history, child hygiene,
primary methods, rural education, and
climatology will be offered in credit
courses. A review Of the common
school subjects and how to teach them
will be included as institute work for
non-credit.
The state schools fix the tuition. Ihe

the expense for fire proteGf.cn for the
year, in connection with be Hanging
Lake tract, and the amfnn was al

Henry Davis, chief of the Glenwood
fire department, appeared before the
board to ask for fire siren, claiming
that the present fire bell is inadequate
to our needs and cannot be heard all
over the city. "Excuse me, gentle
men," said Henry, as he quickly put
on his hat and rushed from the room,
for just then the fire bell rang, and
Henry heard it and jumped on the
truck just as it was shooting out Of
the door. He returned later to report
that it was only brush fire on the
mountainside, and to renew his re-
quest for a siren. The matter was re-
ferred to the fire committee.

LOCAL WATER CASE
/ IN SUPREME COURT

The supreme court Of Colorado last
Monday passed on the case of Geo
Comrie ct. al. vs.. F. E. Sweet ct. al,
appealed from the district court Of this
county, and reversed the decision Of
the district court.
This is case wherein F. E. Sweet
and W. H. Harris secured decree for
80 of cubic foot of water from Blue
creek, the decree, although given .
late priority, being made superior to
the other and earlier DEGREES on the
creek on the theory that the petition.
ers had developed this amount of
water.
The protestants, Comrie, Hotz and
Gould, denied this claim and went to
the higher court on the theory that this
was stream water and not developed
water and that to decree it ahead of
prior rights would be to jeopardize and
nullify these prior or senior rights to
the extent that water was allowed to
flow to the petitioners.
D. W. Shores, clerk Of the district
court, has not yet received the order
Of the supreme court, but the Denver
papers report the case reversed and re-
manded. G. w. Taylor represented the
petitioners, and N. ]. Mayes and q.

Suspect Arrested by Sheriff
After PeddIing the P|under
to GIenwood Dealers
HELD IN DISTRICT COURT

Sheriff Winters did fine piece Of
work Monday evening when he nabbed
Luther Turner alias Wallace Mclean,
suspected Of burglarizing the store of
the Rifle Produce company in Rifle
Monday night of last week.
A hole had been cut through the
door, large enough to allow the bur
glar to insert his hand and spring the
lock. The goods known to have been
taken are three pairs of riding boots,
pair of shoes, pair of overalls and two
or three shirts, and besides this stuff
that was stolen and carried away, the
guilty party made free to oranges,
canned salmon, potted meat and other
edibles from the shelves.
Sheriff Winters found that about last
Friday young fellow had sold to Ed
+. Tarbell, second hand dealer in Glen
wood, pair of riding boots and pair
of shoes and that the same fellow had
sold another pair of shoes TO Bryan
Mcdonald, Grand avenue shoemaker.
Later the fellow returned and sold Tar.
bell a pair of overa1ls.
After receiving a description of the
fellow who made these sales, the sher-
iff visited the rooming houses and
found where he had taken lodging, and
learned that when he left the roominR
house he said he would be back in a
few days.
Monday afternoon the fellow walked
across the big bridge and soon after.
wards was picked up by the sheriff and
landed in the county Jail. Tuesday
morning when taken before Justice Rice
the young fellow entered a plea of not
guilty and tried to explain his posses
sion of the goods by saying he bought
the articles from a couple of fellows
he met on the road, who said they
were broke.
B. f. Mayor, manager of the Rifle
Produce company, positively identified
the goods recovered from the two
Gienwood stores and also the boots and
shirt worn by Mclean, as those that
were stolen from his store, and Mr..
Tarbell identified he goods which he
had purchased of the young man.
Sheriff Winters testified to the man.
ner in which he captured the young
fellow who says his name is Wallace
Mclean, but whose correct name is be-
lieved to be Luther Turner, as the lat
ter is the name found ON an army ser.
vice card and other papers found in
the young fellows pocket.
Among the numerous articles found
on the young fellow were eyebrow pen.
ellis, a carmine lipstick and other ne.
cessories of a modern beauty parlor.
and when Winters asked him "What
are you, anyway" he replied "I am
an actor" "Well, I think you are a
bum actor" was the sheriff's r..
joinder.
Judge Rice held the prisoner to tho
district court, under bond Of $3.50.
which he was unable to furnish. and
he was therefore registered at the He
tel de Winters.
