On learning the object Of the visit,
the rich man exclaimed:
Washington! Washington! Why.
Washington does not need statue.

heart!"
In vain were the visitors solicita-
tions and he was naturally indignant
at the parsimony of the million
aire.

is that If the Father of his Country
is in the position in which you des.

place!"

There is duty confronting the
peace officers of San Miguel county.
which should take precedence of all
other matters and that is to run down
by whatever means possibly and with
out considering the cost whatever, the
dastardly and cowardly assasslnS OF
Arthur Collins, the young mine man
ager who was shot in his office two
nights ago. There should be no ex-
cuse prevail until every resource has
been tested to hunt down the murder
or. 1t was foul and cowardly as
sassination and one which should
make every honest man turn out to
aid in hunting down the perpetrators.

1t is our opinion that the Gould
management of the Rio Grande road
proposes to make this city more i'm
portant railway centre than it ever
has been. 1t has seemed very poor
business policy heretofore to keep
everything away from a natural dis
tributing point, the centre of vast
system. Sooner or later there must
be connecting links of the Rio Grande
built north and southwest from here
and the sooner ample facilities for
handling the traffic is made here, it
will be the better for the road.

O. D. STEWART
STEPS OUT.

o. D. Setwart. who has been the
weather observer for Grand Junction
ever since it was established in this
city. was today officially removed
from the office by Prof. Willis l..
Moore, chief of the United States
Weather Bureau in Washington.
Mormon B. Conger. an inspector
for the service came to this city on
Wednesday night and after making an
investigation of the conduct of the
office he wired to his superior officer
in Washington and B. B. Mckay, con-
netced with the Denver office was i'm
mediately sent to this city. arriving
at noon to take temporary charge of
the office.
Mr.. Conger the inspector, states
that in all probability a Mr.. Sullivan
a gentleman who sustains splendid
record in the weather service. now
stationed at Indianapolis will be sent
to this city to occupy the position of
observer in the Grand Junction office
permanently.
For some time past it has been ru-
mored that there would be change
in the officer in charge Of this station.
owing to the manner in which 1t has
been conducted. These were however
rumors only and only after informa-
tion had been received in Denver and
Mr.. Conger the inpsector had arrived
here, was there any truth to the stor-
les of removal.
1t is said that Mr.. Stewart has not
measured up to the standard set by
officers connected with this service
and that as soon as this was proven,
steps were taken in regard to his re-
moval.
After investigation of the condition
of affairs here Thursday morning.
Prof. Moore, head of the service at
Washington was wired and Mckay
was Immediately instructed to report
in this city and take temporary charge
of the office. This was quick work
ON the part of the service.
The officer who has been removed
has been in the weather service for
over twenty-five years and is consid-
cred, so far as his ability is concern
ed. a most capable officer. 1t was
upon other grounds. however. that he
was removed.

COSTS LITTLE.

No town prospers where its people
have little faith in its future. No
one can Justly claim that the people
of Grand Junction are lacking in this
essential to prosperity. There are to
be found, as there always can be any
where. few knockers. But this Is
unavoidable. They appear in every
community. We might have para
disc here. yet there would be found
people who would complain of the
color which obtained in the gold,
with which the streets were paved.
They would prefer to drink ditch
water, to sparkling water from the
river of life. This class of folks we
have to put up with, they are part of
the ensemble. To Offset these we
must have general class of we'll
wishers, builders, pushers and prov i'd
ers to make city and we believe
that this latter class is in the larger
prop ,rtion in this city. There are
men here whose faith in Grand juno
tion has never wavered, even under
the most adverse circumstances and it
is to this class that we must look for
the men who make the progress OF a
city rapid and who are the builders
instead of the despoilers. 1t costs
little to say good words Join the
class, my friend, of those who want
ward.
