BOYS AND GIRLS HOME GIVES
MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT
Programme Is Carried Out to Demon
strate What Is Being Done
for ITnfOrtunates

Toodles and Me were at the Boys
and Girls Aid Society last night. and
they gave the inmates more fun than
they have had in years, and at the
same time convulsed the audiende with
laughter. The boys of the home are all
trying to become good citizens, but they
know a thing or two about the seamy
side of life, yet when they are given
a chance, as they were last night, to
portray that seamy side, they can do
it to perfection-and they did. Theat-
rical managers would do well to look
to the society for future talent, for it
is there.
"Toodles and Me" was the minstrel
farce given by the boys as a matter Of
entertainment in order to demonstrate
the work which is being done in their
behalf. in the way of education and
moral training. The play was sup
posed to be an operetta which would
give an inkling of what was being ac-
complished for the betterment of the
boys. 1t certainly did.

HONOR CROSSES
ARE BESTOWED
UPON VETERANS

Out on California street, at the home
of Mrs. Alfred Hunter VOORHEES,. there
gathered yesterday from many parts a
group of white-haired sens of the
South-they who fought valiantly-
how well we may afford to tell to-day
in the cause they believed to be just
For who is there now with soul SO
warped as to deny to these men their
full need of praise for their magnifi-
cent heroism and their voluntary sac
rifice of all that men hold dear in de-
fense OF that cause?
1t was to commemorate the valor of
these men that wore the gray that they
gathered together yesterday, at the
invitation of the Albert Sydney John
ston Chapter Of the Daughters of the
Confederacy.
Yearly this pioneer chapter of daugh-
ters Of the South greets the veterans
of the Lost Cause and yearly place
upon their breasts crosses of honor
stamped from the cannon that belched
forth from the battlefields of the
South And il was with no unseemly
spirit that the service attending the
tribute was carried out-no bitterness,
no untoward illusions, nor even a dis
play of Confederate flags
1t was a simple tribute to men that
followed their line Of duty as they
themselves saw it, and to the world S
end will such men be honored, when
the mist of prejudice shall have cleared
away
The speech of presentation-and a
pretty tribute it was-was made by
Mrs Voorhies, president of the chap
ter, who. by the way, knew we'll the
value of her words, her father at the
outset of the war resigning from the
United States Senate to cast his lot
with his people.
The placing Of the crosses on the
breasts of the old warriors was the
pleasant duty of the wives and daugh-
ters of the veterans.
After the exquisite solos by Mrs
Richard Bane and selection on the
harp by Mrs. Voorhies, an informal re-
ception followed.
The following named were the heroes
honored, many of whom were unable
through infirmity to be present:
Judge Erskine NJ. Ross. Judge w. Gretter,
John Edgar. w. c. Baylor. Samuel j. Lowe,

AN ODD SITUATION.
An odd situation affecting oil men
in Nevada has arisen. It grows out
of somewhat novel conditions. The
case is stated by the Mining and Sci

An interesting situation has developed In

sink Churchill County. Nevada. Pros
pectors quickly following the discovery OF
oil. located a large area of the adjacent lands

irrigation methods have been withdrawn from

lands be taken up in small farming tracts.

may make such entry and the tract in Nevada

the value OF the land for the oil II may pro-

pose the Government may possibly make
exception in this case and allow the original
locators to hold their oil claims. for II seems
unjust that the original claimants should be

Twenty years ago we did not talk
politics, franchises or electric rail
roads. We were content with the
simple means at hand for our salts
faction. for the pioneer plodded his
frugal way onward content with the
sphere and condition that made him a
guide for the civilization that was to
come. All hands joined to one pur-
pose. the advancement of the colony.
Out of the barren waste was carved an
oasis which. though tiny. has stood as
amonument TO privatiou, hardship and
toll of the small contingent of the
first decade. There was little discord
or dissension prevalent in the forma-
tive period of the small town, and
matters moved in unison, and the des-
ert was made to ''blossom as the
rose. - 1t was happy family of in
dustry. harmony and enterprise
The first decade had its JOYS and
it was carving hard way out of fate.
But they are satisfied with the result,
as they now look about them They
are satisfied with the progress and ad-
vancement which marked the begin
ing of the first ten years, and which,
without abatement has continued with
forceful and telling effect up to the
present time And to the vigor of the
movement wi ich has placed this fer
tile section before the world there has
been a broadening upon multiform
basis embracing every process calcula-
ted to work for the betterment and
advancement of this second valley of
the Nile. Where in the days of
struggle the paramount interest was
the upbuilding of town. succeeds
today the greater interest of
building up and fostering each insti-
tuition and ente- prise which makes a
town. As the population has grown
so have the contending elements null
tiplied.
The pioneer was the sire to the pro-
motor and the knocker, twins of every
commonwealth and industry. The

So that the next ten years was a
period of substantial growth, of steady
building, of worthy effort. And the
foundation of great city of the West
has been laid to endure for all time
to come. for politics won't mar it and
this valley is immune from climatic
distuI 5ances which make the cyclone
cellar a haven of rest and the stilel
house retreat above the water.
And now that we have the town
and the future assured it is incum-
bent upon every citizen to unite in
efforts for common advancemenu and
welfare. Do we but need an electric
RAILROAD. a cannery. a factory or so

character, hotel or schoolhouso or
what not. do we promote fair, Gel
ebration. or similar event, or do we
desire a convention or meeting of anv
representative body to accomplish
these. we. must meet on the common
ground of mutual interest and work
to conserve them all. The precedent
of a population in the guise of a
pushers' union or a boosters club
forms the most substantial bricks that
build the character of the future
town. We have the frame work of
metropolis and energy and cooperation
are all that is required to tack the
finishing elements to a completed
structure. unparalleled in the West.
We only establish thrift and make a
thriving community fact by creating
the cause for thrift. and the cause lies
in those enterprises. Institutions and
measures which occupy the public
mind. employ the population and
swell the individual purse.
Push for Grand Junction and your
effort will draw the compound inter
est of success And after twenty
years have witnessed the transition
from primal poverty to prosperity,
sturdy growth must be- valued at Its
worth, and each succeeding year will
add ten fold to the greatness of our
garden spot of the world.
