of land have already been purchased.
Surveyors are now at work on the

will be running by October next.
There is to be an acid plant, para1hne
works, tallow works and the various
other facilities for the manufacture o.

NOT FLATTERING.
An Inquirer About Grand Junction
and Mesa County Given Bare
Details. mo Credit for Us.

In the query column of the Denver
News Sunday, someone signing them
selves "W. NJ, Denver'' asks the fol-
lowing questions and the News gives
the answer thereto, as they appear;
1. Is the most fruit grown in Mesa
county?
2. What is the present population
of Grand Junction?
3. How far are the nearest noun
tains from Grand functions?
4. Do the farmers raise sugar beets
and is there a sugar factory?
Answers:
/. Depends upon what other county
you compare with. Mesa is a good
fruit county. but not SO well develop

ed as Fremont.
2. Close to 3, SOB
3. Grand Junction is near the wes-
tern line of Colorado, beyond the main
range of the Rockies. Fifty to seven
ty-five miles would answer your pur-
pose.
4. They .do-and yes. First sugar
plant in Colorado was established at
Grand Junction.
So far as The Sentinel is concerned
it would liked to have been permitted
to answer the query. The census
population of Grand Junction was 3. =
SOB. But at that time there we're
from four to five hundred people in
the mountains. The present popula-
tion of this city. according to direc-
tory issued from this Office last Decem
Der cannot be less than $500 and many
people place the number at COCO. The
estimate is based upon the number of
new houses that have been built in
The daily sentinel., 1904-08-09

this city since the census was taken.
At one time there were building
north of Main street alone by actual
count 226 houses. At another time
there were ia houses being built
The first enumeration of the new hous-
es was taken in 1901 and the second in
1908. This does no include the many
houses being built below main street.
almost as many in number.
The nearest mountains are about
fifteen miles away.
But to the question of fruit. Mesa
county is unquestionably the finest
fruit section of Colorado. 1t raises
more green fruit than any other coun-
ty in the state, we believe. and in a
few years it will far outshine the pre-
tentions of any other county in the
state. along fruit lines.
The News did not go out of its way
to answer the inquiry. The census
population of Denver is far below the
present estimate of its size. 1t would
hardly be- expected that in answering
an inquiry about itself, it.would quote
the census population of 1900.
But the people of the western slope
hardly expect that anything good will
be said of this section of Colorado, un-
til they are forced to say. which they
will be before long. Anyhow, this
section has thriven without any help
and doubtless will continue to thrive.
