FRANCES MOORE DIES

Many hearts were filled with sorrow
Wednesday morning when it was learn
ed that Frances Moore, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. A. E. Moore of West Glen.
wood, had passed away after but a
short illness.
Frances would have been eleven
years old had she lived until next
month. She had always enjoyed the
best of health and was unusually
strong and sturdy for one of her age.
She took ill Saturday with what was
at first thought to be bilious at
tack, from which she seemed to rally.
1t was later found that she had ap-
pendicitis and she was rushed to the
Glerwood sanitarium Tuesday and un-
derwent an operation, but it was too
late and she passed away short time
after coming out from the influence
of the aneasthetic.
Besides her parents, she is survived
by two brothers, Ralph and Theodore
IN California, sister Evangeline, who
is teacher of the Canon Creek school,
sister Laura, and brother Clarence
who attend high school here.
Mr.. Moore, the father, left few
weeks ago for the Denver stock show
and from there went to points in Tex
u.s. He had not been heard from for
several days, and at this writing can
not be located by his family. Funeral
arrangements have not yet been made
and will not be before Sunday.

GLENwooD TEAMS WAILoP
FRUITA BASKET SHOOTERS

One of the biggest games of the
basketball season was played at the
Junior High school auditorium last
Saturday night and by the Garfield
County High schools victory over
their strongest opponents, the Fruita
teams, the Western Slope champion
ship was practically clinched for the
local teams.
Recalling that Glenwood lost to the
Fruita boys by 30-19 on the opponents
floor a few weeks ago and that the
local girls won by one point, the
townspeople expected "real" strug-
gle and scores of enthusiastic rooters
were in attendance.
The girls game started with lots Of
"pep' shown on each side and the
score at the end of the first quarter
was 1913 in favor of Fruita. Glen
wood soon gained, however, and at
the end of the first half the score
stood 20-17 in Glenwood's favor. Each
team played hard game, Glenwood
breaking up several plays of the Wis
itors, and when the final whistle blew
it was found that the local girls were
victorious to the tune of 36-27.
The boys game was certainly excit-
ing from start to finish. During The
first half Fruita kept close at Glen
woods heels, but the splendid team
work of G. G. H. S. soon showed that
they would be easy winners. A good
clean game was played and the Fruita
boys lost by 32-14. II. B. Spahr was
the referee, and was very fair through
ont both games

NEW PREACHER FOR
EAGLE-GYPsUM SECTION

DR.. E. N. Edgerton, district superin-
tendent of the Methodist church for
the Grand Junction district, has Sc
cured a pastor for the Eagle Gypsum
territory in the person of Rev. L. D.
Compton of Waconda, South Dakota.
Mr.. Compton and his wife and son,
Charles, arrived on the ground last
week and they have already taken up
their new work.
This territory was left without a
pastor at the last annual conference,
since which time the people have felt
keenly their loss, and the need of the
church in the community, and the
Comptons have come in to fill the void
and do the work which is SO much
needed.

BIG INDOOR CIRCUS

"I'l say we are going to the big
circus,'' is the expression heard
wherever one goes this week, and the
high school students have seen to it
that the townspeople have been solic-

Circus Manager Eames states that
the dancing Irish elephant, the great
katootinary and the cook are all in
first class shape and they, with the
other animals, are anxiously awaiting
the big day. Don't forget the date,
tomorrow evening, at the Junior High.
Be on time to get good seat, and

CARS COME OVER PASS

That Colorado has had an unusually
small amount of SNOW this winter is
indicated by the fact that Tennessee
pass has been open to travel most of
the winter. Two cars which had come
over the pass arrived in Glenwood last
Thursday evening.
G. G. Price of Grand Junction drove
a Buick Six and II. w. Haller Of
Fruita had Ford roadster, and both
gentlemen had been to Nebraska. The
travel from Leadville to Minturn was
about the slowest they had encoun-
tered on tho journey, and it took them
three days to make the trip of about
thirty-six miles, and in places they
had to be pulled out with teams.
They came from Minturn to Glen
wood in one day and were anxious to
make the remainder Of the trip home.
They stated that in places nothing but
sleighs had been over the road, and 1t
was very difficult travel.

ATTENTION TAXPAYERS

Perhaps you have been wondering
why you did not receive your annual
tax notice from the office Of Treas
urer G. Fl. King. This is given in
explanation of the delay.
Upon taking office as your county
assessor, ordered and secured books
and supplies necessary for the work.
Following this, the State Legislature
saw fit to make certain changes in
the law governing taxes on automo-
biles. This change came after all
books had been purchased and started.
This caused great deal Of additional
work in my office. Then came the
appeal to the Supreme Court to test
the law and more delay was caused as
nothing further could be done until
the high court had determined the
waiter. With their announcement 1t
became necessary to make another
survey of the county and still further
delays were caused which made 1t i'm.
possible for the tax lists to be pre-.
pared and delivered on time, thus pre-
venting the Treasurer from mailing
out his notices.
Now that everything is again run.
ming smoothly, there will be no such
delays another year and you will re.
ceive your notices on time.

County Assessor Garfield County.

secure satisfactory action on the part
Of the owner of 800 to 500 head. The
important thing is to assess each man
for his share of the necessary salt and
insist on the payment of this amount,
and then look after the proper distri-
button on the range.
A. L. Richey, supervisor of the Holy
Cross forest, explained that the forest
service is interested in a salt plan that
will tend toward proper distribution
of the stoc kover the grazing area.
That is why the service co-operates
with the stock associations as TO the
place or places on the rang :e to dis.
tribute the salt, knowing that a proper
distribution of the salt will 90 far
toward the proper protection and
perpetuity of the range.
Ben White said it often happened
that the merchants were slow in or
dering salt, so that by the time the
salt was received and placed on the
range, the grazing season was well ad-
vanced and the chief advantage of a
well salted range was lost.
Mr.. Richey cited certain areas which
do not today produce the beef they
produced five or ten years ago-in fact
some of them do not produce beef at
all. They merely maintain life and
some growth, but no beef. This con-
dition is due largely to improper dis
tribution of the stock over the range,
and this is largely the result of i'm.
proper sailing. The discussion result.
ed in the adoption of the following
resolution:
Resolved, That all permitees grazing
cattle or horses on national forest
range for which the Eagle Valley
Stock association is recognized shall
provide at least eight pounds of salt
per head per season, to be delivered
to the salt committee designated by
this association, not later than the
opening day of the grazing season.
This provision shall apply to the num-
ber of cattle grazed under con and
off" permits.
A salt committee was appointed
consisting of the president and vice
president of the association and one
member from each of the three graz
ing districts. This committee will also
constitute the bull committee.
Forest grazing permits, in accord
ance with n resolution adopted, will
be sent to the local ranger, who will
collect the salt assessment before de-
livering the permit, and all stockmen
will thus be in tresspass until both
their grazing fees and salt assessments
have been paid.
Upon motion of Ben White the Sec
retary was instructed to convey to the
Colorado Stock Inspection board the
thanks of the association for their
action in reducingg the inspection
fees from five to three cents per
head. This board is composed Of

ANOTHER PIONEER
PASSES HENCE

wood last Saturday night, accompany
ing the remains of his father, Frank
Allen, brought here from New York.
Mr.. Allen died January % from ulcers
of the stomach.
The funeral services were held Sun

Of his wife in Rosebud cemetery.
Frank W. Allen was born in Clinton

Allen conducted the moving boarding
house for the road and boarded the
bridge carpenters and other workmen
along the line during the construction
days. She also conducted the first Sec
ton house in Red Cliff.
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen established a
stage station, postoffice and boarding
house at Squaw creek, and Mr.. Allen

Mr.. Allen afterwards installed a
sawmin on Basalt mountain near the
present town of Basalt, and sawed and
furnished the lumber for many Of the
houses that were built in Glenwood in
the early days, including the Barlow
house, now known as the Grand hotel.
From this sawmill Mr.. Allen fur
nished all the bridge timbers used by
the Rio Grande in its construction be-
tween Glenwood and Aspen, after
wards moving this mill to DeBeque
where it was installed on the dry fork
of Roam creek.
Becoming interested in the Defiance
mining camp, near Glenwood, Mr.. AL
len spent two or three years prospect
ing and developing that camp. He
built lot of cabins and fish ponds at
Deep lake and conducted fishing re-
sort there from 1891 to 1895.
In 1898 Mr.. Allen, with his family,
settled on the Barrier ranch in the
Grand river canon about IA miles east
of Glenwood, and remained there until
1918 when he sold the ranch and
moved to Glenwood. He suffered a
paralytic stroke in 1906, from which
he never recovered. Two years ago
he went back to Clintonville, New
York, and spent his last days with a

Commodity Market News.
By Cosmopolitan News Service.


NEW YORK, April S.-An easier
undertone prevails in the flour mar
kets today, influenced by the de-
cline in grain prices and the wait
ing attitude of buyers. 1t is un-
derstood a number Of jobbers who
had placed orders for substantial
amounts slightly below the market
last week were unwilling to con-
slider mill prices. and therefore q
deadlock has temporarily held up
developments. Quotations were not
materially altered, as most mills
are inclined to take firm position,
and are disjnclined to sell produc IS
at what they consider unsatisfac.
tory prices. Some new export bust
ness developed in the last few days,
with principal shipments going 20
England.
Domestic grain markets follow
closely the price ranges of Chicago
markets, which have been irregular,
with current prices lower than at
any time this year. The action of
the wheat market is very disap-
pointing to those who expected
higher prices as a result of the
Presidents revision OF the tariff
rates on wheat. and it is believed
some new constructive factors will
be necessary to bring about higher
prices for farmers products. The
most promising of sucn factors are
the outlook for tax reductions and
the prospects Of Improvement in
foreign markets.
The corn goods market is quiet,
and business is largely Of a iobbing
nature, as is the case with oats,
barley and mill feed. While there
Is little pressure to sell, and not as
much feed being offered by Cana
dian mills, demand is small and the
undertone weak. Demand for brew
ers' hops is good, particularly in ex-
port lines Exports from the United
States in February totalled 1851, 23S
pounds.
