HITCH ON PEACH DAY.
Railway Passenger Departments
Use Festival Rates To Club
Ticket Brokers.


The Denver & Rio Grande and the
Colorado Midland railroade, through
their passenger departments, are using
the Peach Day celebration proposed to
be held in this city as a club with which
to fight the ticket brokers located in this
city.
The Peach Day executive committee
was told when they went to Denver that
rates would be given Professionally, upon
an attempt being made by the citizens
Of Grand Junction, backed by the Peach
Day executive committee, to close the
offices of the brokers during Peach
Week.
At the time it was pointed out to
Major Hooper aud Passenger Agent
Bailey of the Midland, that it would be
a late hour for them to attempt to influ-
ence council to pass an ordinance. going
throuyh their regular channels.
The passenger men, however, still ad
hered to the proposal and as the COM
mittee could do nothing further it came
home and at once sought some means by
which they could influence Messrs. Del
aplain & Crosby and j. M. Cameron to
close their business for Peach Week "
at least to agree not to sell tickets.
These gentlemen when approached on
tho subject refused to be closed up in
the pursuit of legitimate business. 30
far as the general public was concerned.
Correspondence was carried on and still
the railways were obdurate.
The matter has given the committee
no little worry, as much preparation has
been already concluded and lots more is
under way.
A few days ago the railways became
arbitrary in their demands and said that
no rates would be given il the brokers
were not closed. Last night a meeting
Of the executive COMMITTEES was held and
a resolution was passed and forwarded
to tho railway passenger departments
today saying that tho festival would be
called of il that was their ultimatum.
v Here.is community Of ten thousand
people, which about comprises the pcp-
ulation OF Mesa county, which is to be
deprived of the pleasure OF holding q
festival which was among the very first
institutions in Colorado, because the rail.
ways have found club which they can
use to knock out the brokers.
The members Of the city council ab-
solutely refuse to consider for a moment
and proposition to place tax of five
hundred dollars on the brokerage busi-
ness in this city. They say even were
they 90 inclined it could not be legally
done before the time proposed for hold
ing the festival. An entire community
is being made to pay the penalty Of the
alleged wrong doings Of the ticket brok-
ers and it is being held as club by the
railways to fight a battle against the
brokerage business.
