the contract to give bond of IS, 900 for
the performance of the conditions, which

to draw up law that will be constitu-
tional. The former one imposed a tax.
and now it is proposed to require a state
license, and equip each dog with a collar
and tag. The revenue from the license is
to go, as before, to the owners of sheep
killed by dogs. Members Of this commit
tee favor wolf bounty law which will
compel counties to pay their share of the
bounty money. The previous law was too
elastic and many counties eVaded pay
ment so that scalps flooded those coun-
ties which redeemed them.

TRADE ISLANDS
Even Exchange Between Minnesota and
Wisconsin Is Proposed.

Wisconsin is Proposed.
Mr.. Putnam of Red Wing proposes that
Minnesota and Wisconsin shall trade
islands. He introduced a bill in the house
this morning, which was later recon-
mended to pass by the judiciary commit
tee. It provides that Minnesota shall cede
Barrons island opposite La Crosse; on
condition that Wisconsin shall give to
Minnesota an island opposite Red Wing,
wanted for park purposes. The bill i'm
poses other conditions which are expected
to satisfy the people of La Crescent,
Mimi, whose complaint is noted else
where.
Mr.. Putnam provides in the bill that if
the islands are used for parks they shall
be forever free to the people and that no
toll shall be charged over the bridges
leading to such islands. No liquors shall
ever be sold on either islands.
I This bill requires the action of the Min
nesota legislature and approval Of Gov
ernor Van SAINT, another act by the Wis
consin., legislature and its approval by
Governor La Toilette the approval of
congress and the final act Of cession.

ka. and was offered the pastorate at
different places i'll Nebraska and
neighboring states. one at Lamar,
Colorado. Becoming dissatisfied with
Presbyterian doctrinals, and seeking
a field for greater usefulness to his
fellows, he withdrew from the Synod
and joined the American Unitarian
Association in the summer of 1902
In August 1902 he came to Grand
Junction for the purpose of organic
ing liberal church. Mr.. Stewart
has been very active in local labor
interests. being now president of the
board of trustees of the A. L. u. this
city. One of his great ambitions is
the erection here of Peoples Tenn
pie. to be used as a place of recrea-
tion, worship. and the general better
ment of society.
Rev. G. E. st. John, of Boston,
secretary of the American Unitarian
Association, was here recently to look
over the field. He stated that he
could go back to Boston with a glow
ing account of the outlook here" The
church has been guaranteed liberal
financial support by the Unitarian
As sociation. Below is the covenant

of realizing the ideas of human life.

CHURCHES.
GRAND JUNCTION.

There are in Grand Junction nine
churches of as many different denom-
nations. Following is given brief
sketch of the organization, conduct.
membership, etc of each.
BAPTIST CHURCH.
The first Baptist church held its
initial meeting on February 18th, 1888,
o. +. Weeks who was instrumental
in the organizatio on of the church was
elected its first moderator; w. H.
Smith, it's first clerk. Rev. W. ID.
Weaver was the first pastor. The
present church building. brick
structure, was erected ON Grand be-
tween Fifth and Sixth in 1888. Today
the church membership is 116.
There is n fiourishing Sunday school
under the superintendency of L. A.
Moon. The church now has a supply
pastor in the person of Rev. H. H.
Beach.
The daily sentinel., 1903-05-01

About IA dozen miles up the Gunni-
son river from Grand Junction is the
town of Whitewater. 1t is located on
the narrow guage system of the Den
yer & Rio Grande railroad, and 1t is
the heart of a rich agricultural and
cattle. district; while the Unaweep
canon with its lately developed wealth
of copper. silver and iron, is tributary
to it, being some fourteen miles dis
tain. To the latter as well as the
bountifully productive Kannah creek
country, Whitewater affords general
commercial outlet. And here is To-
Gated the postoffice for the entire sur
rounding territory.
The population of Whitewater prop
er is about $50, but in the immediate
vicinity can be counted another 800

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

In 1888, Rev. 7. S. Day of the Pres
bytery of Rochester, New York, con-
Quoted the first services of this denom-
ination in this city. In January of
the following year, the First Presby-
terian church of Grand Junction was
bers. The first house of worship was
burned three years ago and the present
beautiful one was erected ON the cor
ner of White and Sixth. The men,
bership is now $50 with n vigorous
Sunday school of 300. The present
pastor, J. E. Weir. A. NJ. has been

season. That is a fine showing. is it
not?
Cowcamps, large and small, can be
found in the hills in almost every di-
rection. Pinon Mesa. splendid
range, is tributary. Grand Mesa is
nearer to Hannah creek valley,
though Whitewater is the shipping
point for both sections.
A proposition that is holding out
no little promise to the people of this
section is the oil well located about
one mile from Whitewater at depth
of $50 feet l6-foot vein of coal was
encountered. At 40 feet the drillers
