There are number Of towns do
ing large amount Of growing over
their present and prospective
growth. While Grand Junction is
making little ado about the matter.
yet we con6dentially believe there
are more buildings now in course
of erection here than in any other
town in the state outside Of Pueblo
according to population. Grand
Junction will easily maintain her
place as the ninth city in the state
and may lower this several notches
by the next census period.

Very close scrutiny has been
given republican papers, since the
presidential message was given
congress. This, in order to dis
cover how much applause those
papers have given the presidential
recommendations on trusts. Little
or none has been found. One reps
utable republican organ says "they
(the trusts) were handled gently"
Another, not owned by corporate
power says "they were patted on
the back and told to be good" The
fact is most of the papers had
hoped Roosevelt would say some>
thing strongly in opposition to
trusts, which are commercially en>
shaving the country. The papers
and republicans as well have been
disappointed and they say nothing
about the matter.

While Mr.. Roosevelt said very
little regarding the trust evil. he
did say something for which the
people Of the west are thankful.
He made the question of the irri-
CATION Of the arid lands of the west

and gave the whole country an idea
OF the possibilities Of this great re>
gion under irrigation.

Chicago gave the cattlemen a
very chilly reception. The civil
authorities gave the convention no
official recognition whatever and
the hotels rubbed it in by doubling
their regular rates. Chicago may
lose a thousand times the cost of a
small reception by her negligence.

When a newspaper will contin-
ually criticise public school sys
tenn, because its editor has per-
sonal grudge against its head, that
individual should feel the weight
Of public indignation. Our schools
are to be misjudged and condemns
ed by the outside public, because
forsooth the kids Of some editor, in
the latter's judgment, have been
mistreated. This is high ~ ground
for an attack upon a system which
meets with pretty general approval
and against which there is no con-
certed condemnation.
