said in part: "I want to say that it
has been my fortune for the past

of people have asked me if we were
going to have Peach Day this year.
The citizens Of Grand Junction do
not realize that they have estab>

pie expect these celebrations.
Peach Day was started for the pur>
pose Of heralding to tho world our
agricultural advantages; OF inspect>

pitality. They care not whether
they have a peach to eat or not.
The miners in the higher attitudes
expect to 60 to lower altitude for
a recreation every year, and they
will come. l venture the assertion
that if we have not a pound of fruit
to eat they will come to our Peach
Day celebration for they want to

natural advantage necessary for
cheap treatment is found at that
point. Fuel is to be had cheaper
than anywhere in the state. Coal
is in abundance at sI.75 to s275
per ton or cheaper. The cost Of
living is lower than at any point on
the western slope, hence wages are
correspondingly low. The rail-
roads have a down hill pull from
every direction. The camps above
mentioned would furnish every
quality Of ore needed or desired for
huxing purposes, while lime and
coke could be had at home. All
