The thing alxiut your Colorado mountain parks that iinprt-aed me— an Easterner—most is the denux rary that prevails ever) where. Up in Ihsky Mountain National park I partuularly ob-i rvi-d it. In the hotels and on the camping grounds up there, the millionaire and the working man rublied elbows with the nonchalance that only the western atmosphere can impart. We do not find this spirit in the East, for the resorts we have there each enter to a certain class. Class di» nct'An is onm-present from the high-priceil hostelry at Newport to the clieap Is.nrding house at Asbury Park. But in the Rocky Mountains al! cla-- distinction is erased and it matters not whether 1 am a social leader or a »hoe clerk. The fs-ople of the middle West know tic p..--ibili:1es of a vacation mtenl here, witness the *200.000 that have visited llockv Mountain this war. But the people of the Allegheny mountains will have to be educated.

A THREE CORNERED COL LISION ON FOSTER ROAD There is always something doing in the vicinity of the Lenta Junction Mercantile Co., but Tuesday morning, it was a little livelier than usual. It seems that the immediate cause of the ercitements, was the meeting of an auto driven by Mrs. S. Radlow, 6617 85th street, another by Mr.Star- buck of the Moll Grocery, located in the Gilbert district, and a wagon and team, Oliver Anderson handling the ribbons, residing in the same locality at the same time at or near the Mer cantile Co., comer on Foster road. While the results of the collision did not prove serious to life or limb, Mr. Anderson’s wagon was considerably wrecked, hay and feed stuff in his vehicle being scattered to the fore winds and the driver badly shaken up. When a reporter for the Herald arrived on the ground all were trying to talk at once and tell “how it hap pened”, which they will no doubt re view later to the high sheriff as the accident occurred just a few feet out of the city incorporate limits. GET ACQUAINTED MEETING The regular monthly meeting of the Lents Parent-Teachers associa tion will be held in the assembly hall of the Lents school, Friday, October 15, at 2:45 p. m. There will be a short business session • after’which Miss Gessie Eassley will render a vocal solo. Mrs. Frances S. Hayes of the Public Welfare Bureau will speak. Remarks by principal after which lilght refreshments will be served. Ad parents are most cordially in vited to be present and meet our new principle Mr. Thaxter and our teachers and spend a social half hour with them. TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR In Herbert Gordon’s announcement for mayor in last week’s isue, in his fourth reason for entering the may oralty race, the word “not” was omit ted. consequently giving the direct opposite meanin; to his statement. W* publish as corrected: 4. We have not been increasing the taxable wealth of the city. We have failed to encourage private invest ment, which will give us a greater field for taxation, in place of increas ing the taxes of the present property owners.
