Church Improvements.

At an official meeting of the board Of
trustees Of the Fifth street Methodist
Episcopal church last night it WAS de-
cided to expend about $l,20O in needed
improvements.
An entire ne set Of pews, Of the latest
model for church use, made OF quartered
oak was ordered purchased. These will
cost laid down here about $4,000. The
church will be papered and painted
throughout.
1t was decided that on account Of the
weakness OF the walls OF the church that
no galleries would be erected.
These Improvements will add greatly
to the appearance of the church and
will be very inviting and comfortable
when finished.
The church is quite prosperous at the
present time and the board Of trustees
thought that no more auspicious time
would arrive for them to make the i'm
provements than the present.

COME TO LIFE AGAIN.
The IrrepressibIe 81 Am" Col.
Clark Balcom Comes to the
Front in Kansas CITY.

II there is any man in Grand Junction
who ever saw Col. Clark Balloon, million
aire promoter, investor, manipulation,
canal builder, prophet and any other old
thipg, that man has not forgotten the
doughty colonel, who had a voice like q
fog horn and who rested for a while in
Grand Junction, just about two years
ago.
Many people have been wondering
where the colonel had hied himself. He
was certainly not the man to hide him
self or his light under bushel, because
he told all men his business and there
fore had little business to tell.
1t remained for a copy Of the Kansas
City Daily World to give such informa-
ton of Col. Clark Balcom, which the
pesple have been waiting breathlessly
for.
In four column half page advertise
ment, with illustrations, that paper has
set forth Col. Clark Balcom's wonderful
! scheme for the transmission and preser-
walton Of fruit by freight shipments.
which he discovered while here and
which he attempted to have the rail-
ways adopt.
The article in the bombastic style Of
colonel, sets forth the great advantage Of
shipping fruit by his system. A freight
car ia illustrated loaded with fruit. and
showing the air appliances of Col. Bal
com.
In the background is cut Of the col
onel holding a chain. On tag on his
person is this inscription, "Clark Balloon.
Grand Junction, Colorado" 80 it can be
seen that the colonel still places his resi-
dence here.
The new incorporation under which
he sails is "The New York, Chicago. st.
Louis, Kansas City & Mo. Produce COM
pany.
There is nothing the matter with the
high sounding incorporation names used
by Col. Balcom.
In the prospectus, which occupies a
column, investors are invited to send
Col Balloon the small sum Of 1926 for
share Of stock, which he says he believes
can be sold for 800 as soon as one Of his
air patent cars reaches Chicago, (if it
ever does.)
The article is about the most amusing
piece Of advertising literature that
the writer has seen in a long time,
but he was not surprised In the least at
it's style, coming from Col. Balloon. He

1t may not be generally known that
a splinter deeply buried in child's
hand may be extracted by steam.
The method is very simple. Fill a
wide mouthed bottle two thirds full
with very hot water, and place its
mouth under the injured spot. The
suction draws the flesh down when a
little pressure is used, and the steam
in a moment or two extracts infiam
nation and splinter together.

1T WAS s.HOBsON'S CHOICE,

The gallant and competent Lieuten-
ant Hobson sticks to his statement as
to the Manila naval fight, and the
failure of Dewey to sink a single Span
ish ship-that they went down by the
sole action of the men On board. He
was in Montreal on last Sunday n
was interviewed again. He confirmed
the report from the Vancouver pa
per. He admits hat the American
Admiral had compelled the Spaniards
to destroy their own vessels. 1t is
we'll enough to get the precise facts.
The newspapers all told the story ds
1t came to them, that Dewey mad sun
the Spanish fleet. 1t turns out that as
to the specific act of sinking it was
lone by the Spaniards in scutting
them, but this would rave not occurred
if Dewey's fleet had not been there
heavily pressing the Spaniards. Dew
ey is disposed to rebuke HobSon for
talking wildly and says that he haG
never claimed that his. guns sank all
the Spanish ships that went down in
Manila bay, though he personally wit
messed the infliction upon some of then.
of damage enough by his guns to SINK
them.
Very well. We now have the fIct~
We do not believe that Hobson de-
serves censure of any Kind for turn
ing on the light. He as an expert had
been in the Manila bay examining the
destroyed ships, and found that they
had been sunk by the action of the
men on board-scuttled-and not by the
American guns. He spoils somewhat
the great boastings that went up.
There is no doubt whatever that
Schley's victory at Santiago was much
more splendid than that of Dewey's.
1t may be r hat silence wouid
have been better for the brave lieuten-
ant when interviewed, and had left the
revelation to an official report. But the
exact facts were needed. Dewey has
been made a great idol and the Amer
lean people showed themselves great
snobs.

tainly shaky. If he cannot get states
not named, he may lose severalsin the
table. The republicans are counting
or are pretending to do so, upon
kentucky, Maryland. Nebraska, New

talk as if there was a fighting chance
in some or all Of these important
states.
Democrats on the other hand, are
claiming states not included in the

sibly even Connecticut may be re-
claimed. The Post
In years gone by Connecticut has
been very much a democratic state in
prudential years and when the ten
dency elsewhere in the country has
been against the republicans, Connec-
