Word comes from the Hawaiian
islands that many of the natives are
in a starving condition. In Hons
olula hundreds OF native men, wo-
men and children go daily to the
executive hall and on bended knee
beg for food. The relief society of
the city has asked for food for
these starving people and Ministers
Young and Daymon reply, "Our
hands are tied and we can do
nothing, as the appropriation by
congress for the islands has been
exhausted" From Puerto Rico
and the Philippines, this same cry
comes ringing in the ears of the
American people. 1t is our hum
BILE opinion that the administration,
in its haste to expand" has pur>
chased and acquired the biggest
white elephant on earth-in her
islands of the sea.

1t is far fetched to assert that
because any attorney has had con-
nection with cases where the city
was litigant, that that attorney
is the only proper person to again
conduct those cases. No one need
fear that Mr.. Wheeler will not be
able at very short notice to equip
himself thoroughly for the con-
duct OF any case, no matter what
it may be, where the city is a
party interest.

M. o Delaplain has been one
of the most faithful servants the
city has ever had. 1t is an un-
disputed fact that he has per-
formed more work during the past
two years of his term, than was
necessary to do, the four years
previous and it would not be
stretching it much to say in a
period of six years. No one who
has not been an attendant at coun-
Gil can appreciate the amount of
work done. 1t has been done
complaint and in man
ner that no quibble has ever yet
been raised. Mr.. Delaplain is
deserving of Succeeding himself,
and then again he is entirely COM
oetent. No one can seriously
question this assertion.

Figuring on this basis the same loan
IN the Fidelity Savings association for
period Of 1913 months (their time Of ma
turing loan according to their statement)
would cost the borrower $252.76 more
than in the Mesa County Building &
Loan Assn. for the same period.
All other loans in our Association will
compare as favorably with the Fidelity
as the above named loan.
The total amount charged by the
Mesa County B. & L. Assn. per $1,000
per month is S15 90 while that Of the
Fidelity Savings Assn. is $15 80.
The Mesa County B. & L. Assn. has
always permitted its borrowers to pay
all or portion of their loans at any
time.
In the face Of the above facts it is GER
tainly to the interests of all who desire
loans to secure them fron. the Mesa
County B. & L. Assn, thereby saving
money for themselves and building up
their home community and home insti-
tutions by keeping interest money at

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 Il
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 q
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 it's 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 IL
Loan association of Grand Junction,
Colo taking a loan of $1,000 on Certiti-
cate No. 284 in the Mesa County Build
ing & Loan association dated April 18th
1897 which shows difference in favor of
the Mesa County BUILDING & Loan asso-
citation according to the printed state
ment of the Fidelity Savings association
entitled "Information for Borrowers')
Tor period OF 30 months of $65 76 and
for period of 1913 (the time required to
mature loan in the Fidelity association
according to their statement) OF S252.76

Death From Hydrophobia.

KEYSER, w. Va, October 14.-From
Preston county ome the report of
the dreadful death in Portland district
of James T. Stanton from hydrophobia.
He was sick for a few days and near
the end became so violent that three
men could not hold him in bed and he
got away from them, dying out on the
porch of his residence. He frothed at
the mouth and made extreme efforts TO
bite those who were caring for him.
An investigation proved that Stanton
was bitten last July by a dog belong
ing to Stanley Martin. The dog after
wards died, and Stanton's wounds heal
ing up, nothing more was thought of
the matter until a few days before his
death, when his Eyes became red and
infamed and he was unable to swallow
any water. Stanton was a soldier in
the Second West Virginia regiment
during the Spanish-American war, was
about 80 years old, and leaves a widow
and one child to mourn the awful
death.

The publication of the letter of State
Auditor LaFollette, in which he charges
Secretary OF State Dawson with neglect
Of duty in failing to prepare the pro-
ceedings of the Board of Public Works
with reference to the assessment of
railroads in this State, has revealed the
fact that the Board of Public Works
has been purposely holding up the an
nouncement of the assessments. The
assessments were made in June, but
have never been announced, though it
is customary for them to be announced
in July or as soon thereafter as pos
sible. The failure of the Board to
make the announcement is ascribed to
political motives, the scheme 5eins to
hold the assessment over the heads of
any railroads which might be disposed
to favor the Democrats.
