GROWTH.

The city of Grand Junction has a
wonderful growth in the Dast few
years and this growth is bound to
continue. but if we desire to have all
of the benefits to which this grow th
entities us to have we must build up
a community of interests.
The above paragraph is written for
the purpose of conveying to the minds
OF the residents of Grand Junction the
fact that to build up cur city and
community we must support those in
terests that are Established here and
which in order to prosper depends
upon the support of the citi ,ens of
the community. for the success of any
one single enterprise means the sue
cess of every resident of the commun-
ity.
In Grand Junction we have mer-
chants in all lines, who are prepared
to meet the demands of their patrons,
no matter what they desire to pur-
chase.
There has been in the city Tor the
past few days drummer for a Chica-
90 suit and cloak house and it is
understood that the said drummer has
left the city with grip full of or
ders from ladies of Grand junction.
Now the same articles could no
doubt be purchased from any dealer
in this ciuv if the dealer was consult
ed and given an opportunity.
Our stores do credit to any city Of
five times the population and the
stocks carried, while not as large as
metropolitan stores contain variety
and quality enough 10 suit the most
fastidious. and if the merchants we're
asked TO secure the same goods as
those sold by the Chicago drummer
they could doubtless do so at oonsid-
cradle saving to the buyer.
To build up our city we must sup-
port the industries located here tor
every dollar spent in Grand Junction
means dollar invested for the growth
of the community and the success of
all.

The new Chamber of Commerce
motto for Grand Junction and Mesa
county.
A child almost can understand
its import. 1t conveys the idea that
all should work toward one COm=
mon end. 1t is strong, but would be
stronger as one word
Any project undertaken by a
whole people call together" can fail
only because it is undeserving of sup
port. With such motto great things
should be readily attained for the up
building of Grand Junction and Mesa
county.
A house divided against itself
can hope for few things. Several
years were occupied in this city in
|disputing and warning. All that has
since been accomplished, has result
ed from unity.
Too many great things for the
future of city and county loom be-
yond in the horizon, to waste time in
pulling at cross purposes.
Let us adopt the motto quickly,
it in our daily life, as
| it is related to the growth OF Grand
Junction and Mesa county and re-
suits will quickly follow, if we work

ONTARIO FISH HATCHERY.

The Ontario fish hatchery Is visited
every day by large parties to witness
the capture of salmon and to view
their actions when in captivity. At
present there are 10000 inclosed
within the racks, and 1t Is a sight
wonderful Ito see, a. they dart
through their prison and at times
leap high above the water In an at.
tempt to escape. Superintendent
Brown will continue to rack the fish
two weeks more and will have in the
neighborhood Of 4O,O00,OOO eggs.
On account Of numerous fishermen
plying their vocation on the river
many salmon are captured which
would otherwise land In the racks.
The fish are in a pen made Of two.
inch timber set close together and
driven into the river so they cannot
get between them. A sixty pound
salmon will max a dash for liberty
aud striking the timbers with his nose,
will jar the entire structure. The
noses of the most Of the fish are
bruised where they have struck the
timbers In endeavoring to escape.
Very few Of them perish. The hatch.
cry is the largest In the world, and
Is so arranged that 1000 gallons of
fresh water, raised by wheels from
Snake river, passes through the
hatchery every minute. The work Of
securing the eggs will soon commence
and they will be deposited In the
hatchery to be hatched out, and when
the fish are five inches long will be
turned loose In the Snake. The In
dians have arrangements with Super
intendent Brown to dress and dry the
salmon.

furnished through the employment
agency of Allen and Flynn. The
first work'to be done will he in the
vicinity Of Lockhsrt, and the road
will be constructed from there to-
ward Burnt river.
It will be remembered that the
citizens Of Sumpter pledged certain
amounts some time ago toward the
building of this road, with the un-
derstanding that they would be aided
by the county. The work will be
pushed ahead and 1t Ia understood
that 1t is the intention to complete It
in about six weeks. The new highway
will furnish communication between
Sumpter and q rich agricultural and
stock raising country.

ROPE TnROWERS At LARGE

The kids around town as every.
where else on earth, find their great
est amusement in initiating the acts
of their elders, both AZ to occupa-
tion and recreation. They have just
about finished the game OF doing their
annual assessment work and neighbor-
ing gulches are punctured with min
iature tunnels and shafts. Owing to
the recent and talked Of coming exhi-
bitions of roping and riding wild
steers, every mothers son In town
who can buy, borrow or steal a
clothes line Is practicing throwing
the lasso. The streets are thronged
with these amateurs and neither
man nor beast Ia safe from their ex-
periments.

ERECTION, OF
MILL POSTPONED.
Golden Wizard Plant Probably VIII
Not Go In TIN Spring. Says
Supt. McPhee.

j. NJ. McPhee, superintendent of
the Golden Wizard, had letter yes
terday from President Miller, of
Three Rivers, Michigan, stating that
1t would probably be best to defer the
erection of the proposed mill on the
property until spring. This was
Superintendent McPhee's advice, in
view Of the fact that 1t would rush
things entirely too much to attempt
to get the plant In this winter. He
says:
"By the time we could get our
plans projected, the bids for the ma
chinery In, and everything settled,
It would be cold weather, making
the installation Of the mill more or
less difficult. Our best course is,
I think, to have everything in
readiness by the opening Of spring
and then rush the plant to compile
tion when there Is good weather. !"
