always been asserted that large de-
posts OF oil would sooner or later
be discovered on the western slope,
as the topography of the country
was such that, without the forma-
ton was barren, it gave every hope
of containing oil and natural gas.
In the we'll that was sunk in this
city natural gas was reached and it
burned brightly tor several months.
Now oil in quantities has been dis
covered in Routt and Rio Blanco
counties and an immense amount
of capital has gone into that section
to purchase lands for exploration
and for the purpose Of boring for
oil and gas. 1t has been usually
the case that where there are great
bodies Of coal and other carbon
substances there is generally oil.
1t is a certain belief with us that oil
in quantity will be discovered in
Mesa county sooner or later. With
so much stir in exploration, with
seemingly an abundance of capital
to prosecute work, it should not be
hard for us to secure some capital
to make several trial bores at points
presenting the best indications. We
certainly cannot secure such capital
without letting the world know of
these possibilities. We would
never have had the sugar factory in
Mesa county had not c. E Mitch
ell, against the jibes of others, con>
tinued year after year to prosecute
his work on beet culture. So it will
be with the discovery of oil. The
public press is the medium through
which Mr.. Mitchell worked to at
tract attention and there are golden
opportunities for other promoters
to secure probably fortunes in the
of great oil field here
in our own home.

taxpayer. squeezed by Austria.

The taxpayers of Galicia have many
grievances against the Austrian gov
ernment, says Michael Henry DIE
wicki in the Chicago Record. The
chief complaint is that the assessors
of taxes will not admit the declaration
of income drawn up by the taxpayer
as what he really gets. but substitute
a sum which they say he ought to get.
This is fiagrantly unfair and contrary
to law. and makes the taxpayer liable
to rates for what does not exist. When
challenged as to this arbitrary pro-
ceeding the assessors answered that
they had merely raised the taxes, and
maintained that in order to raise an
action. against them the complainant
would require to prove false state
ment. This deprives the taxpayer of
any legal remedy, except going before
the commission of complaints; but,
as the commission is supposed to deal
with 10000 appeals within few weeks
it can be readily seen that it cannot
possibly go into the details of any

LO, the Poor Swede.

When a New York musical director
went to rehearse his company he dis

The charge that all of Governor
Orman's appointments would be
made with an eye single to the Sc
lection of Hon. AIva Adams as
United States senator, has been
hattened out much by that gentle
mans published interview in the
News. Mr.. Orman takes The only
possible position tor h'm TO take in
the matter. Should he have taken
any other his administration would
have been handicapped from the
very beginning. We are not such
fools to believe either that Ava
Adams inspired such an idea. His
over Jealous friends may have fos>
tered such an impression, but even
they were i'll advised so to do, as
all the people elected Gov. Orman
and not very few politicians.
Governor Orman's fl 1t ioofed denial
of any interest whatever IN any
ones candidacy for the senatorial
honor invites the most cordial con,
fdence in him from all the people
and presents the idea that he hopes
to start his administration free and
untrameled. His interview was
most timely, as many people had
begun to think that possibly there
might be some truth in the charges
that his administration would be

What Does This Mean =?

A perusal of the history of rail
way transactions during the past
four years shows us this period
has been the most disastrous, from
a financial standpoint, of any other
of the present decade. Under the
circumstances it would almost
seem as though the further devel-
opment or improvement of rail
way facilities must cease. Yet,
strange to say, many notable in
stances prove that the contrary is
true. In numerous instances,
first-class roads, despite the
hard times and general business
depression, have made very de-
cided advances, not only in the
improvement of the material con-
dition of the roadway itself, but
likewise, the equipment and SER
vice. And the public has been a
great gamer by the public-spirit-
edness of the roads.
One of the most notable cases
of railway development is the
Nickel Plate Road, which seems
to have forged right ahead with
its improvements and has exhibit
ted an unrelenting determination
to give the public the best pos
sible facilities in spite of the
hard times. And how well this
corporation has succeeded in its
laudable efforts, the excellent con-
dition of the system bears ample
evidence. Yet the secret Of this
success is obvious: the people
have responded very generously
to generous effort to give them
the worth of their money. That
is all. The peoples money has
enabled the road to better its fa-
cilities in every respect; thus the
work has been OF mutual and re-
ciprocal character. The liberal
patronage accorded the road has
brought handsome return to the
people in the shape of improved
facilities for travel, yet at the
same time, at lower rates.
And now, it seems, the Nickel
Plate Road is still engaged in
further efforts to serve the people
we'll. 1t has high-class road
way to begin with; a most excel
lent equipment to end with, and
safe, fast and reliable service for
the delectation of its patrons.
All in all, it offers a most attract
i've menu to travellers bound east

LEE 8 BUNTING. Proprlstors.
1 N. Bunting.. Editor and Manager
THE SUGAR FACTORY.

LII yesterday ISSUE IL WAS ohiy
possible to give short account OF
the new deal made, by which the
the plant of the Colorado Sugar
Manufacturing Co. has been sold
and will be continued in operation.
The news was received late in the
afternoon and only short account
could be given. But this was suf-
ticient to create great deal of
good feeling among the citizens
last night, as it was widely discus
sed.
The fact that j. f. Mcfarland,
a home man, and we'll known to
the people, would be the manager
and superintendent of the factory,
was matter of congratulation
among the people. He certainly
knows the capacity of the people
better than could be learned by an
outside management in several
wears. and starts in that relation
with great advantages.
The proposed scale to which
Mr.. Mcfarland has committed
himself and those whom he repre-
sents, will encourage the people
greatly, and a larger crop than
has ever been attempted will be
planted in the valley for the run
next season. 1t has been demon
strated beyond any doubt what
ever, that the Grand valley has the
climate, above all other places, to
grow beets containing large per
centage of saccharine matter.
With this knowledge, all that re-
mains to do to make the manu-
facture of sugar one of the great
est industries of the western slope,
is to raise the beets.
The very important part to be
impressed upon the farmers now,
is to plow their lands at once for
the planting. Ground plowed at
the present time will grow lar
ger crop than if plowed later.
The management desires to urge
upon the people the fact that
plowing is absolutely necessary to
insure good and healthy crop.
The Sentinel, in conjunction
with the people of the whole
county, feels constrained to con
gratulate Mr.. Mcfarland that he
has successfully solved the problem
of holding the factory here. Its
loss would have been irreparable,
for years, at least. All capital
would have given this city the 60
by, where now they will look to a
growing community for invest
ment

The Lament of the Golfer.
The days are growing short, alas!
The mellow autumns here;
The grapes are crimson in the press,
The leaves are pale and sere.
The grass is yellow on the meads,
The hills are blue with haze;
The cider mill begins to hum
All, doleful autumn days!
Across the spreading fields the scent
OF roses comes no more;
The fence is bare that was so fair
With fragrant peas before
The summers dead! The robin sings
Its farewell to the lark,
And oh it's such little while
From o'clock till dark!
