The daily sentinel. [volume] (Grand Junction, Colo.) 1893-current, 1904-08-29

We would like to call the attention
OF the Grand Junction newspapers to
the fact that in quoting the fruit
shipments from the valley they do not
mention the cars which are shipped
daily by the Palisade Fruit Growers
Association. which have averaged over
four cars per day the past ten days,
and mostly Elberta peaches Eleven
cars of fruit were shipped by the two
associations last night and two car
loads were left on the platforms for
want of cars. We just want credit
for what we have. that's all.-Pali-

DR.. E. F. Eldridge. son Edward
and law Mr.. Peery, arrived
home yesterday from four days out
ing trip in the hills. They were To-
Gated at point about four miles east
of Goldsbys lake aud from which
point Dr. Eldrdge thinks there is the
grandest view of this valley than from
anv other vantage point. They got
no gains but the doctor reports the
most pleasant time of his life. Dur
ing the time they were out. the doc
tors son shot a porcupine. which
he spied in a tree. This was consid-
cred pretty large game by Edward
and he is mighty proud of his Prov
ess with his little rife.
Secretary Falconer of the Cham ber
of Commerce. is in receipt this morning
from @. H. Speers general passenger
agent of the Midland railroad, of a
large and handsome book. called the
Souvenir Itinerary of the Trans-Con-
tinental Excursion of the, Sovereign
Grand Lodge L. o. o. F., which
meets at San Francisco, September 49,
pa. The book is most beautiful one
and the best part of it is that it con-
tains write up of the Grand Valley.
which section is being brought into
prominenccce all over the country,
under the head of Amidst and Under
the Shadow of the Rockies. There
is nothing being published in this
western country now that does not take
the Grand valley into consideration,
as is evidenced by the article in the
book. Secretary Falconer is showing
it around today.
Earnest Eddy. who says he has been
connected with the Hearst papers for
twelve years, was an arrival in the
city this morning on foot. He is
another one of the crowd of young
men wasting their energies trotting
over the country on a wager. He says
that he has been ON the road for A
days. having left San Francisco on
July end. He is to cover a distance
of 3, 900 miles in period of eight
months and his route is to Denver.
Chicago, New York and back to Los
Angeles. He is at present walking
on a wager in which the Los Angeles
journal is interested. Like all the
rest of the travellers that have come
through here. he is compelled to earn
his own living en- route. He is nine
days ahead of his time here and may
secure work here for week or mole
to make some money. Eddy is a
bright looking young man and doubt
less will accomplish his self imposed
task. on time.
Mr.. Gordon Goodwin, manager of
the New Castle Pharmacy. at that
place, was visitor to his parents in
this city yesterday. Mr.. Goodwin
says that conditions between the union
To-
are very much strained and that acts
of violence are being committed al
most nightly. He says that there
was a report current on the streets
there Saturday that the act of depor-
tation would be applied at that place.
Mr.. Goodwin is largely interested
in politics in that place and says that
Democracy has gained ground there in
the last few mouths greatly. He be-
lieves that there will be a radical
change of sentiment in Garfield county
and that Democracy stands show of
holding that county within the Dem
ocratic ranks this year. Mr.. Goodwin
returned home last night much pleased
with Grand Junction. considering it
one of the very live and progressive
towns of the state.
