DELIGHTFUL SUMMER RESORT.
Grand Junction Possesses One of
the Most Picturesque Pleas
ure Resorts in the State


William Radcliffe, the owner and
manager of the Grand Mesa lakes. has
returned to Denver from England where
he spent the winter. Mr. Radcliffe is
apparently in the very best health and
reports having had a most enjoyable
trip.
He will 60 at once to the Mesa lakes
where he will make his headquarters for
the summer. These lakes form a chain
FIVE miles long and are as picturesque as
any that can be found in Colorado.
They are situated on Grand Mesa, about
thirty five miles east OF Grand junction
and have become one of the most popu-
lar summer resorts in the state.
In open season hundreds Of pleasure
seekers flock to this delightful spot
from all portions of the state, and spend
the summer months in seclusion from
the hot, busy world, surrounded only by
the beauties Of nature in its natural
state, for here the hand Of man has not
been required to make any improve
ments.
In the lakes and the adjacent streams
is found the beet trout fishing in the
state, and throughout the surrounding
country may be found game of all kinds
to delight the sportsman who prefers the
gun to the rod.
Mr.. Radcliffe has just presented the
state of Colorado with 100000 trout
with which the etate game and fish com
missioner will be able 70 stock large
number of private lakes and public
streams. The only expense connected
with it will be that Of transportation,
which will be trihirg in comparison to
the value OF the fish.
The first day OF juno will begin the
open season for trout fishing, and then
those who can steal few days or weeks
from their business, will begin to organ
ize camping parties and take summer
excursion to this delightful spot.
This city is the QUILTING point and
starting place for nearly all the tourist
travel to the lakes, owing to the advant-
age it has in being in such close prox
inmity and that the resort is reached
from this place by an easily accessible
wagon road.

A veteran musician, who has recently

had heard Jenny Lind in a most unex-
pected way.
II was then." he said, "clerk in a
music publishing house. One day a
we'll dressed, quiet little woman enter
ed and asked me to show her some m u
sic of classical nature. We struck up
quite a conversation, in the course
OF which I asked her if she had heard
the great singer, Jenny Lind, who was
then the talk of the town. She laugh
ed, and said: 'Oh yes; I haye heard
her. Have your told her that
had not had that pleasure, and that l
had very little prospect of it, the
price of admission was so high. She
again laughed, and then handed me a
song she had picked out and requested
me to play the accompaniment for her
while she tried it. She sang so beau
tifully that l played like one in a
dream. when she had finished size
thanked me, and, with rare smile,
said: You cannot say now you have
never heard Jenny Lind She thank
ed me again, and left me quite dumb

Galveston Rising From the Ruins.

A survivor of the Galveston storm
writes as follows in the October num-
Der OF "-he National Magazine:
The work of restitutioni tits enor-
nous. Every public ward is paralyzed
|-waterworks, gas works, electric light
works-every wheel stopped, every
shaft twisted, every street blocked. Yet
in six days we have opened half doz-
en- thoroughfares across the town in
each direction. We have water turn
ed on in several districts where the
mains are not utterly wrecked. We
have provisioned the starving and
ministered to the sick-all imperfectly,
but with more success than we hoped
Monday morning.
And we shall rebuild In no mans
mind is there thought OF abandon
ment. Banks and stores are opening
and business is beating its way through
the choked channels,
rhe railroad will have a temporary
bridge across west bay before this Is
put to press. Their engineers are al
ready drawing plans for massive
double-track, steel structure, ten feet
higher than the highest eyer built.
Wharf and dock companies are prepar--
ing for stouter and larger structures.
The harbor itself is deeper and wider,
the jettles intact, the government for
tifications will be laid broader and
raised higher. New Galveston will be
as firmly built as the eternal bills, and
her sub tropical paradise OF fruits and
flowers along the bays and bayous will
blossom anew with Gods colors and
sweetness.
We are not cast down. We are
little hysterical with the strain, but
God Is miraculously giving us strength.
Sometimes strong mans lip trembles
and his eyes dim. Sometimes a wo-
man stands behind the door and weeps.
But it is only for moment.

Boys Whipped by Machinery.

Selected.
If you were a Scotch boy and we're
inclined to get into mischief you
might appreciate the value of recent
ly invented Scotch machine. 1t is a
device for whipping young folks who
have been unruly. Il is said that
this ingenious machine works like q
charm and will turn out more well-pun-
ished boys in an hour than the average
person could attend to in day. The
machine is in operation at the town OF
Airdrie. The complaint that the boys
make who have been blrched by the
machine Is that too much time passes
between tie strokes, and each one Of
them feels like sound thrashing in
itself. Four strokes Is pretty &C.
we're punishment for any boy. The
lads about the town of Airdrie are
said to either be growing better be-
haved or are moving to another part
of SCOTLAND.

What Tc Eat.
Selected

Selected.
They used to tell us that an egg was
worth as much for food as pound Of
meat. As matter CT fact pound OF
eggs-eight OF average size-is worth
only half as much for food as pound
of lean beef-steak. Among vegetables,
the following list is OF interest: Lima
beans have the highest food value,
containing 80 per cent. of nutrients
Sweet potatoes come next with 20 per
cent, white potatoes next with 21 per
cent, and string beans next with Is
per cent. Green sweet corn has 10 per
cent. of nutriment, beets II per cent,
turnips IL per cent, cabbage. cauli-
flower and spinach per cent, eggplant
and lettuce 7 per cent, tomatoes and
asparagus 6 per cent, and cucumbers 4
per cent. Dry beans or rice are about
the most economical foods one can buy
containing as they do SO per cent. OF
solid nutrlment.

Points and Paragraphs Of Things
Present, Past and Future.

Germany being very dependent on
the United States for her cotton sur.
ply, the question OF raising cotton in
German colonies is one which will en-
list the interest of our cotton growing
sections. OF the nations of the Con-
tinent Germany takes the lead in COT
ton consumption, with $71 100000.
France and Russia together consume
$95, 100000. Germany grows about
SIT 90 worth of cotton in one COLONY.
and is dependent upon the United
States and England for the balance of
her supply. This is good reason for
Germany to wish to produce cotton,
and something is said about the effort
being made in her colonies to do so :;
but good authorities suggest that there
is no need for the United States to be
Uneasy about the competition.
The Atlanta Journal says editorially
"This scheme has been received with
great favor by the German public, but
Mr.. Winter. our consul at Annaberg.
does not believe that it will amount to
much. He writes to the State depart
ment that the German colonies In At
rica, which are the only German pos
sessions capable of being considered as
possible producers of cotton, are bur-
dened with climate having partic-
ularly unwholsome effect upon Eu-
ropeans. Despite the most strenuous
efforts Of the German government, 1t
has thus far been impossible to induce
any considerable voluntary immigra-
ticn into them from TIE mother coun-
try. Competition requires that cot
ton mills exist as close as possible to
the source of supply Of both raw ma
terial and labor. Bremen, which is
now second in importance only to
Liverpool as cotton importing port,
is economically much nearer to the
cotton fields of our southern states
than to the possible African planta-
tions.

cotton raising project need be. th-
