The daily sentinel., 1904-02-29

There are whole lot of people who
think it is just little bit foolish to
write letters. anent the proposed Fed
eral building for Grand Junction. In
the first place they believe it is an
impossibility to secure such an appro-
priation from the government and that
it is only waste of time to be annoy
ing congressman and senators from
other states about such a small matter
Now that is Just where many under
takinGs fail. A lack of confidence is
sometimes worse than lack of money.
You have no reason to suppose that the
congressman from your home state
has any more important business than
to give notice to your appeal to him.
You remember that there were many
people who did not believe we could
secure money to build n sugar factory
or a smelter. we did secure money
for both. Don't hesitate upon this
matter but write at once. We are
lust as much entitled to Federal
building here at Grand Junction. as
many places that long ago secured
them. If we secure the passage of
the bill for the appropriation of $50. =
600 there will be another fifty thou
sand added before the building could
be completed. Work and work hard
is the motto The Sentinel would write
for you.

poor man seems to have still a
little show left to reach the United
States Senate. General Dick of Ohio,
was grain and feed merchant few
years ago and is comparatively poor
man. He has been sent to the senate
to succeed the late MI. Hanna without
a dissenting voice. Brains will some
times do in lieu of cash.
