Taxation will not be increased
by laying stone or cement side>
walks. Individual property owns
ers would have to bear the burden,
if such it could be called. How>
ever, by comparison Of the rent
schedules in Grand Junction with
other towns, it would hardly be
considered that owners of business
property would be hurt very hard.
The place for tax reduction is in
looping off superfuous expenses.
In the city it was computed few
days ago that S., 900, at least could
be saved by combining several offs
ces. Cement sidewalks could be
gradually made to replace the un-
slightly board affairs. Orders could
be issued that no new sidewalks
should be laid from plank, but
with cement or asphalt and that
renewals should be permitted only
from the same material. No sweep>
ing change to cement, concrete or
stone sidewalks is contemplated. A
gradual change should take place
and in a few years the city would
be comfortably and decently paved.
Our pretentions are equally great
in other direction, why not in sides
walks?

Barnum said once upon a time
that, the only liquid which could
be used in excessive quantities,
without being swallowed up by it,
was printers ink. And Mr.. Bar
mum believed in the black stuff and
made every dollar expended for it,
turn him back ten. And yet there
are men in business and even some
in Grand Junction, who believe
money spent in advertising is
money thrown away. All around
them they have examples of men
being made rich by advertising,
but they cannot believe it can do

them any good. There is no ar
gument which an opponent of adj
vertising can advance, which cam
not be knocked into "smithereens"
by an argument favorable to adver>
tising. 1t is a waste Of time at
this time, when competition in bus>
mess is so brisk, to have to argue
upon the merits of advertising to
an up to date business man.

What Does This Mean ?

A perusal of the history of rail
way transactions during the past
four years shows US this period
has been the most disastrous, from
a financial standpoint, of any other
of the present decade. Under tho
circumstances it would almost
seem as though the further devel-
opment or improvement of rail
way facilities must cease. Yet,
strange to say, many notable in
stances prove that the contrary is
true. In numerous instances,
frst-class roads, despite the
hard times and general business
depression, have made very de-
cided advances, not only in the
improvement of the material con-
dition of the roadway itself, but
likewise, the equipment and SER
vice. And the public has been a
great gamer by the public-spirit-
edness of the roads.
Ono of the most notable cases
of railway development is the
Nickel Plate Road, which seems
to have forged right ahead with
its improvements and has exhibi-
ted an unrelenting determination
to give the public the best pos
sible facilities in spite of the
hard times. And how we'll this
corporation has succeeded in its
laudable efforts, the excellent con-
dition of the system bears ample
evidence. Yet the secret of this
SUCCESS is obvious: the people
have responded very generously
to a generous effort to give them
the worth of their money. That
is all. The peoples money has
enabled the road to better its ia
cilities in every respect; thus the
work has been Of mutual and re-
ciprocal character. The liberal
patronage accorded the road has
brought handsome return to the
people in the shape of improved
facilities for travel, yet at the
same time, at lower rates.
And now, it seems, the Nickel
Plate Road is still engaged in
further efforts to serve the people
we'll. It has high-class road
way to begin with; most excel
lent equipment to end with, and a
safe, fast and reliable service for
the delectation of its patrons.
All in all, it offers a most attract
i've menu to travellers bound east

Agitation for oil exploration in
Routt aud Rio Blanco counties is
being kept alive by the citizens of
those counties. Capital is seeking
new fields and the sections that
constantly keep their advantages
before the people, are those which
reap profit. Mesa county bears the
same relation geographically to
the Rocky Mountain range on the
west side, as Frement county does
to the eastern side. Indications
point to vast field of oil and ma
tural gas right along the base OF the
great mountain chain. Oil and
natural gas follow usually the great
bituminous coal veins and there is
every reason to believe that right
here at home we have undiscovered
wealth producers. More uncertain
and hazardous risks a thousand
times over have been taken to de-
velop flow of oil in other places.
1t is certainly worth the trying
here, where SO many things so to
point out sure returns for invests
ments in exploration.
