Five men, under intelli = ent dis
rcction, can in one weeks time,
grub out every grease wood plant
that disfgures the landscape Of
Grand Junction. II the rank
growth of underbrush, grease wood
and sweet weed is permitted to get
start in proportion to what it did
last year, life will be burden here
next summer. If the street and
alley committee of council would
redeem itself at all, it would order
right now gang OF six men under
the superintendency OF pusher
at work for one week or even two
weeks in the destruction of all
foreign growth. The Sentinel urges
this action in the interest OF health
as we'll as for the general appear>
ance of the city, which nearly every
one will agree has been about as
bad as it could possibly be during
the past year. The same dose
could be repeated in the early
spring, Just as the weeds are taking
root, and Grand Junction would be
relieved, for time at least, OF dis
fgurement which has done much
injury to the town.

Governor>elect Ormans first ap>
pointment naturally was that Of
private secretary. In selecting for
that place Hon. Horace W.Havens,
present deputy secretary of state,
Mr.. Orman has made a most au>
spicious beginning. The writer had
the honor Of serving two years in
close association with Mr.. Havens
in the office OF the secretary Of
state, and is able to testify from gen
eral knowledge as to his sterling
qualities AS public official he
has been distinguished for strict
honesty, close attention to duty
and mastery handling of the var
ious departments under his charge
as deputy secretary Of state. He
will bring to the office Of governors
secretary the very qualities most
needed there, and will prove an in
valuable aid to Governor Orman.
We congratulate the incoming gov
ernor on his splendid selection.

A large proportion of Grand
Junction merchants seem to think
that no obligation rests upon them
to sweep their sidewalks. Neglect
of this feature of cleanliness, in the
old eastern towns, was considered
a sure sign of business decay. 1,
might be we'll if that judgment pre-
vailed to a greater extent in the
west.

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

The purpose for which the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress was
formed-the extension Of irrigation
and storage of water will be more
thoroughly served by holding the
sessions OF this great body in the
large eastern centers of population
than in towns and cities of the
west. The session just held in
Chicago was productive of much
good. The attention of people was
attracted to irrigation and the great
possibilities of agriculture and hor>
ticulture under systems of irriga-
ton, who doubtless never thought
of the subject before.
Congress is annually appropria>
ting money for dredging rivers and
harbors whose commerce since the
ramifications of railway systems
has become so general, is practic>
ally nothing. One halt of this
money, which is practically wasted,
would redeem hundreds OF thous>
ands of tillable acreage the best
the sun ever shone upon.
Holding the sessions OF this con-
gress in the cities OF the west,
where irrigation is understood and
desired, serves no purpose, such as
is served by holding them in the
east, where an over-crowded pop
ulation is constantly looking tor an
outlet for a field which is new and
offers them the hope OF establishing
a home. Hence we favor the hold
ing at all times of this congress in
the east. The attention of men of
wealth, and of congress, will be att
tracted. and the people of the west,
the country that contains the great
irrigable area. will be beni6tted by
the change Of location in holding
the sessions of the congress.

Those people who so ardently
advocated a county fair last fall
should get to work right now il
they desire to accomplish anything
in 1901. Waiting until the middle
of summer to commence work, will
bring forth the same condition as
obtained last fall la lack of time to
accomplish anything.

1t would doubtless shatter the
negative procedure Of diplomatic
usage, to take few shots at close
range, across Turkish soil, but we
believe could the Nashville, now in
Mediterranean waters do so, that
100000 indemnity payment
would be forthcoming instanter.
