BUILD UP A HOME INSTITUTION
By Patronizing the Mesa County Build
ing & Loan Association-There Is
Difference in Good Things.

Do not be deceived by advertisements
and statements made by agents repres-
enting foreign Building and Loan asso-
Citations. The Mesa County Building &
Loan association does not charge as
much on given amount borrowed as
outside associations charge, and it also
pays larger dividend on account OF less
expensive management.
Experience has demonstrated to a
number of our best citizens (whose names
we have) that the liberal promises made
by travelling agents, who talk for the
dollars there are in it, are not carried
out. This they have found out to their
sorrow.
The Mesa County Building & Loan
association will show to any Of its MEM
bers or to those contemplating making
loans that it has been, and is doing bet
ter for its members than the printed
statements of outside associations show
that they can do.
For example we herewith submit a
comparative statement between the FL
deity Savings association Of Denver,
Colo, and the Mesa County Building d
Loan association OF Grand Junction,
Colo taking loan OF $1,000 on Certifi-
cate No. 284 in the Mesa County Build
ing & Loan association dated April 10Th
1897 which shows difference in favor of
the Mesa County Building & Loan asso-
citation (accordlng to the printed state
ment of the Fidelity Savings association
entitled Information for Borrowers')
TOR period of 80 months of $65. rs and
for period OF 1913 (the time required to
mature loan in the Fidelity association
according to their statement) Of S252.76

Some one has said in public
print and kept repeating it that,
the water question should be
fought in the courts. We agree
heartily with the sentiment The
proper place now to fight the
water question out. is in the courts
of the district and not in the pub
lie press or by individuals. How
ever, despite that pronounced
position some who have been
eager for the public to accept this
premise for all future controversy
on the water question have taken
it up in the city campaign as a
revamp and are working it for all
it is worth, as vote gathering
scheme. We don't think it will
"catch on" or will it fool the pub
lie any longer. In several pre-
vious campaigns the people of the
city have said by their votes they
will have nc more of it, and it
seems very foolish for mon to at
tempt to again force people into a
fight on the question.

John Hay has son in Pretoria.
He is the United States consul
there. Instead Of calling ex,Consul
Maorum liar to hide his own pro-
English feelings, why don't he sat>
isiy the American people by mak>
ing inquiry of that son, if Macrum
lied about the violation of this gov
ernments official correspondence?
The secretary of state will cost Nc
Kinley thousands Of votes, without
he confesses error in the Macrum
affair Hay belongs to new class
of Americans, who believe that
they are educated diplomats. Hay
is attempting to place himself as
dean Of the class, by overriding and
brow beating Macrum, who evil
IDENTIFY did not belong to the trains
ed school. Macrum is Of the great
middle class of Americans and
those people believe what he says
and the finesse of Hay will hardly
serve to make them believe Others
wise. Mr.. Hay could readily prove
Macrum liar, if he is one, but
merely saying SO, with Macrum
holding up the violated govern
ment seals before the people, will
not make it so, but prove Hays
weakness and discontinue.

There is hardly a probability
that this town would die natural
death with no license. No such
silly thought has ever come to
mind in our advocacy of high Ii
cense. If we believed such a thing
we should say so, but we don't be-
lieve that. We have no calamity
howl to make in support of our
argument for high license, therefore
we shall say that, the town would
still live. But, the living would be
the weariness Of existence. Granted
that many of the things said in
favor of no license is true, still that
would not better the condition of
innocuious desuetude into which it
would fall. If reformation in the
drinking of liquor would secure
one half the population, the other
half seeking the qualification of
drink would still be left. This one
half would not remain, neither
would its place be filled by new
half, of the same character OF peo-
pie who elected to he their brothers
keeper. We believe the city is far
too young to accept theories which
have failed elsewhere. We believe
and truly believe that no successful
reformation can come from voting
the no license ticket. Whiskey will
be sold in stealth, drunkenness, de-
bauchery will feed on the stolen
fruits and the city eventually go
back to the high license system.
The reformer is always troubled
with the idea that his brother is
not honest in his belief. Here lies
his weakness, for he may be the
more honest Of the twain. If the
government legalizes the manufac>
ture and sale of spirits, SO long will
this reformation fail If the gov>
ernment errs, it has erred knowing
ly for many years and there are
many people who believe the gov
ernment is always right"

WHALES ARE SCARCE.
Fleet in Asiatic Waters Reports Few
Catches.

San Francisco, April 3O.-The first news
of the whaling feet, which sailed from
this port for Asiatic waters early in De-
cember, has been received in a letter from
Captain Scullan of the bark Charles w.
Morgan.
So far the bark Alice Knowles has been
the only one of the feet which has had
any success whatever. On March 81 she
was anchored at Hakodate, after having
taken eleven sperm whales, which netted
10 barrels of oil.
The letter reports that the crews and
officers of all the vessels are in good
