DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIO N. No matter what your politics are it is surely a great boon to Colorado to have the National Democratic conven tion held in Denver. It will bring thou sands of people here from all parts of the country, and among them some of the leading spirits and the best of cit izens. They will no doubt go back to their homes satisfied that Oolorado has the best climate in the world and is destincd to be a great state, Those of them who come to Arvada will have to say “Eureka.” They will hate return to the effete East or the murky South. ; It is hardly a question regarding the presidential nominee. The standard bearer of two campaigns will he again chosen and the people’s Wlleam will| have another chance. There seems to be considerable doubt, however, re: garding his running mate. To a m up the tree it would look as thou New York would be the state to sel from. It is a pivotal state and a pop ular candidate on the national ticket always a strong pull. A As soon as the candidates are named. the political pot will begin to boil, the whole country will soon be in/ throes of intense excitement till the evening of Nov. 3rd. T DEATH OF MRS. ULLERY. Mrs, Beatrice Ullery was suddenly. transferred from her home in Arvada to the Heavenly home on the morning: of June 24, 1908, 3 g Mrs, Ullery was born in Montgom ery county, Ohio, February 14, 1875, where she graduated from the public school, after which she attended the Academy of Muslc at Fostoria, Ohio, and became a teacher of music until January 22,.1897, when she was mar ried to H. A. Ullery, who survives her. Two childreh have been born to them, a son and daughter, both of whom died in infancy. In the year 1900 they came to Colo rado for the benefit of Mrs. Ullery’s health and located in Durango. Seven yvears ago they came to Arvada and soon after bought out Doctor Hal leck’s drug business, which has been: successfully managed ever since. Mrs. Ullery united with the United Brethren church in the year 1884, and remained a member up to the time of her departure. Although of a retiring disposition, Mrs. Ullery made a host of friends in Arvada, and the large attendance at the funeral and the floral offerings went to show the love ‘of her nelghbors. Her life among us was truly beautiful and her memory will be highly cherished. Her death was sudden. Eating breakfast as us ual, she left the table, and was missed, and in a litlte while Mr. Ullery found her in a sitting posture, but her spirit had fled. f After all, is it not just as well—aye' —ls it-not better to cease to work and cease to live than linger along for weary days or weeks in suffering, and then finally die? Mrs. Pumphrey, her mother, has been visiting with her for two months and intended to make it her home. The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. R. Sanderson, pastor of the M. E. church, assisted by the Rev. E. G. Judd of the Baptist church, and on the evening of the 25th her devoted husband and affectionate mother, with crushed hearts, accom panied the remains to the old church vard in Brookville, Ohio, where the children and a brother, sister and father are buried.

Rich mond cherry crop is now being picked and marketed at good prices. The strawberry crop is small, consequently the prices are large. One man took in ten crates last Saturday and got $4.256 per crate. The raspberry crop will be good In spots, which will also mean good prices. The-same is true of the hay crop. We understand it is selling now at $12.00 per’ ton, and some of the farmers are going to get almost average Crops. J. F. White had the pleasure last Sunday of uniting in marriage R, B. Emens of Victor, Colorado, to Miss Edith Carroll of Ralston. The cere mony was performed at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Carroll, old time residents of this county. Mr. Emens is a graduate of 'O7 from the School of Mines and is holding down a good position in Vie tor at a remunerative salary. Miss Carroll {8 a Ralston girl well known and highly respected.

Surely these things “ought mot to be.” We are a long suffering people in this neck of the woods, but there does come a time, if not already here, when ‘“patience ceases to be a virtue.” A very pretty wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Tre zise at Alma Villa, two miles east of Golden, on Tuesday, June 30th at 8 p. m. It was the marriage of their charm ing daughter, Miss Ethel May, to Will iam O. Williams. There was a very large gathering of invited guests, so that the spacious home was filled to the uttermost, and everybody was happy: The ceremony was performed by Rev. J.oF, White of Arvada, who used the beautiful ritual service of the Methodist Episcopal church. Little Miss Jennie Trezise was the ring bearer, and at the proper time in the eeremony presented the ring (which lay in the center of a beautl ful basket of flowers) to the groom, who placed it on the third finger of the bride’s left hand, repeating the words “With this ring I thee wed,” etc., etc. After congratulations a sumptuous wedding supper was spread and it was nearly eleven o'clock before all were served. It i 8 needless to say that the pres ents were numerous, handsome and many of them.costly. The young peo ple will spend the first part of their honeymoon in Colorado Springs and will be at home in Golden to their many friends after July 10th. The “Arvada Enterprige” joins with their neighbors and friends and hopes their honeymoon will last forever. . A great deal has been said in the press of late regarding the State Ag ricultural College. To a tenderfoot it looks as though there is a man whose‘ name'fs Carlyle who would like to boss the institution. This gentleman is oncl ~of the professors and has been getting conslderable notoriety of late. We have known of other men who if they want to get a raise in salary or a pro motion, instead of waiting till they de serve it, they manage to have the press proclaim what great men they are, and how great the demand for them —exists elsewhere. Professor Carlyle may be all right, but it looks as though the college was getting along gm Tate unfir Doctor Ayles worth re Carlyle came along. We hear not a word in the Grange (and we are right {n a hot bed of granges) against the president,.and we believe he is the right man in the right place, and those in authority want to under stand that farmers don’t want their boys to be numbskulls. The farmer's boy should be taught the sclence of farming and get a pretty vgqu liberal edllflgon b%fiaa.. Then” after they leave the college, if they don’t want to farm et them have a chance to do sum“\;h%:lla. There are too many farmers and always will be, so why should the boy's education be so nar rnwod,&m. that no other field Is open but the farm. The education be ing received at the Agricultural col lege 18 exactly what we want for the boys and we do not believe the farm ers have any kick—especlally do they have none against the president. s ) ' g < By l, 5 I { ARER N TOGGERY SHOP T 17 : - Don't you need a new pair of shoes for the Fourth? \ 3 A Or a new suit ol clothes; or a new neck tie? .

Cost and consumption are intimately related in every line of industry. When meat prices are high the public eats less meat; when clothing is dear old suits are made to do; when fuel prices soar skyward the public economizes on conl. But people must eat and have clothes and keep warm, 80 there is in these llnes a fixed minimum of consumption which forms a stable foundation for the trade. In the building industry, however, conditions are different. When materials and labor are excessively dear building opera tions seem to stop entirely. Probably in no other line does cost have so much control over consumption This fact makes doubly important the declaration now made that building cost has been sharply reduced in the last twelvemonth. In a discussion of this important issue the American Lumberman recently stated: “Labor is cheaper now than it was a year ago, although nominally wages are the same. It is cheaper because it is better, “Materials are cheaper than they were a year ago, not for the same reason that labor is cheaper, but in the actual prices that must be paid.” Going into more detail. it is asserted that “as a general proposition lumber is now being sold. for 10 to 15 per cent less than last year.* * * Ten per cent. probably represent about the general decline in the retail price of building ma terials.” Further to demonstrate the reduction in building expenses the figures of aCleveland builder are quoted show ing the following percentages of reduction in 1908 as com pared with a year ago: Masonry and grading, 29; plaster ing, 46.8; plumbing, 21.9; heating, 22; painting, 24.5, while lumber is put at $4 to $6. a thousand less, the aggregate saving being 28.5 per cent.. With buflding cost thus reduced more than one-fourth 1908 should be marked by an increase unequaled in recent years We have the latest and lowest prices on all kinds of And a large stock to select from . \/‘ .
