scarcely worthy OF credence. One who Is close in
the confidence OF the Senator declared positively

SPRAY THEM

A Remedy For The Street
Corner Loafer Grand Juno
tion Needs the Cure.

The Grand Junction Sentinel is hav-
ing a continual fight with the street cor
ner loafer, who makes it a business of
driving down each new enterprise pro-
posed.
Perhaps every growler and loafer in
the state has moved to Grand Junction
but however, that may be we have
found that there is a class OF farmers (?)
or land owners who have secured some
of the lands about that town who went
into it with the idea that all that was
necessary to do was to watch the fruit
grow on the trees in the summer time
and loaf around the streets in the win
ter time. When the peach crop was
good these men could tell you all about
the science Of raising peaches, but when
the off season came these same men
could be found on the streets of Grand
junction telling what desolate country
it was and how it was never intended
for white man to live in. They would
prove to you that nothing could grow
there, and if they could get half one half
what they paid for the land they would
''skin out"
From what Brother Bunting has to
say there are few of these pests still
left to walk on the sidewalks of that city
If Paris green and a liberal spraying
won't relieve the rema nder OF this pest
we advise that they be put on the sugar
beet farm with the editor of the Glen
wood Post and "a few lazy bones re-
moved.
There is no richer soil than that which
is located about Grand junction and the
frugal farmers can raise anything from
peanuts to sugar beets. The sunshine
and the water is abundant and all they
need is the exertion that man would
naturally give to any crop to make a
successful and happy community-Glen-
wood Avalanche.

1t is planned to hold soon a Dewey cele-

which was the home of the ancestors
of Admiral George Dewey. The Admiral's
great great-grandfather, Ebenezer Dewey,
and his grandfather, Ebenezer Dewey, IT.,

1856. They were among the prominent
and patriotic citizens. The town history
mentions the family as Zone of more re-
