A SINGULAR FEATURE.

Abiding to this coat, it may be said
that it was not Albert Washington S
coat, but Ed Porter's, a negro we'll
known IN Bossier. When Albert Wash
ington got on the train Saturday morn
ing, by mistake he took and wore off Ed
Porter's coat. This coat should then es-
tablish in some degree, if not altogether,
Albert Washington's identity. In this
coat, which was in Albedt Washington's
possession when killed, there was an
account III Ed Porter's name. 1t was for
goods purchased by Porter from the
Benton Mercantile Company. There was
no piece or part of ring found in this
coat, but piece of glass which belonged
to Ed Porter and the same Ed Porter is
alive in Bossier. This may be "a coin
cidence,'' as said an officer when his at
tention was directed to the coat, but
there is another Ed Porter who may be
coincidence" 1t will be recalled that
an officer identified beyond a doubt the
body as being that of Ed Porter OF the
Union Depot, but when so informed Mr.
keeney, one of the jurors of inquest,
was not satisfied; SO he went in quest of
the Ed Porter Of the Union Depot and
found him alive and we'll attending to his
business, and the negro expressed his
surprise to learn that he had been con-
nected with the case-did not know that
he had been killed and srenated.

KILLED WHO IS GUILTY?

THE MESA COUNTY SCHOOL
By z B. MCCLURE, County Superintendent

Mesa county has school populat ion
of 3700, an increase of over 300 from
last year OF this number over 3. 900
were enrolled in the schools last year
in fact the attendance was such that
there were only few places in the
county where it was necessary to en-
force the compulsory education law.
The county is divided into "a school
districts, which are controlled by
boards of three or five directors,
chosen BY the people. The schools
are supported by general tax levied
by the state and county, and a special
tax levied by the people of the dis
trlct 1t is noted fact. which speaks
much for the intelligence of the peo-
pie that, they are exceedingly liberal
in voting the special tax.
The state superintendent gives this
county credit for having the best rur-
al school buildings in the state, and
we believe that glance at the pic
lures here given will prove the same
to be true. In almost all our build
ings special attention has been given
to the lighting. heating and ventilat-
ing, so that they are not only pretty.
but convenient and comfortable.
In the school furnishings desks,
blackboards, maps, books, etc,-the
boards act on the motto 1.-The best is
always the cheapest. Almost every
district furnishes free text books, and
these are kept strictly up-to-date.

tile Company.

1t is pleasure to be able to deal
with an establishment conducted on
con servative principles. The goods
purchased at such place are far
more apt to be of first class quality
and sold at reasonable prices than
those bought at store where fly by
night methods are used. No one in
Grand Junction who pays any atten-
tion to the business situations and pro
gress of the city can have failed to
note with the quiet, even temper and
dignity if we may so speak of the
store of The Lay y-Nattinger Mercantile
Co.
This firm has been in business here
for some years and they have always
maintained tip-top reputation for
treating their customers squarely.
The lines handled by The Lay Nattin-
ger Mercantile Co., include dress
goods, ladies furnishings and notions,
carpets, rugs, upholstery, house -furn-
ishing goods, lace curtains, portiers,
ladies' and children's shoes, millinery
and dressmaking. In all these depart

pleteness of stock and equipment.

into consideration our state institu-

free.
A large number of the schools have
fair circulating libraries, which are
free to any responsible person who
desires to read. The people are thor

The Plateau Country.

Its elevation ranges from 5000 to
6, 900 feet. Its climate is as near per-
fection as earth affords. The severest
winters known have not brought kill

unknown here. 1t has the reputation
of being, and is in truth. the most
healthful place in which to live.
The streams are filled with mountain
trout. The hills abound with game,

free, open, unlimited mountain ranges
adjacent, furnish the finest pasture
for eight months of the year. Four

down an abundant supply of pure,
soft water for which the user pays no
assessments. There are thousand
things that recommend this section.
1t is rich and lovely region, and
those who live in it are contented,

OF the smaller valleys of the coun-
ty, Plateau is by far the leading one.
Plateau creek, typical mountain
stream, is fed by many little tributar-
les, rising in the Grand mesa, pur-
ing its course through a valley.
this latter is never more than a mile
wide, but is at least forty miles long.
But back of this, and included in
what is known as Plateau country,
are mesa lands which are becoming
cultivated and which are now dotted
with bright and comfortable little
homes.
As one travels over this country its
extent seems endless and its wealth
boundless. Without shadow of a

mences right from the banks of the
the lake is reached. AS many as two
hundred people have copgregated here
at once. Some spend the entire sum-
mer here and return only when days
in the valley have become cooler.
The same features practically obtain
at Goldsby lake as at Mesa lake, save
large as the latter. There is good
pure water. fishing and some hunting.
1t is now pretty safe to predict that
within IA comparatively short time
new and easier means will be afforded
for reaching the resorts on Grand
mesa. An electric road from Grand
Junction to Palisade is being planned
and from that point fine wagon
road will be constructed to the top of
the mesa This road will materially
shorten the distance and make the
elevated lakes accessible from Palisade
by an easy drive. 1t is proposed to
make a grand resort for the people of
Grand junction and Mesa county at
the terminus of this road. This re-
sort will be located in the beautiful
woods. near bubbling spring of
mountain water, and within sight of
banks of snow that never disappear.
Here are to be constructed a hotel,
cottages, and all the accessories of n
pleasure retreat; so that those who do
not take delight in the crudeness of
ordinary camp life may be accommo
dated with something more modern
and at the same time partake of the
invigorating climate and other benef-
cial characteristics of the place.
Around this proposed resort there are
forests of pine and spruce and other
trees that grow on the high noun
tains For the construction of this
road from Palisade above mentioned,
the county contributed $780, the bal
ance was raised by private subscription
In conclusion it can be said that
nowhere in the country and especially
in Colorado can be found more favored
camping spots than those in Mesa
county. They must be seen and en-
ioyed to be appreciated They make
living here delight. To those who
are i'll or who would be near to ma
tures heart cordial invitation is
extended to come to Mesa county for "A

where all is peace and quiet and
where rest, recreation and pleasure
is to be had.
