Last Monday a decision was
handed down bY the state supreme

Last Monday a decision was
handed down by the state supreme
court sustaining in every particu-
lar Governor Peabody's policy Of
suppressing insurrection and dis
order in the state. The opinion
was written by Chief Justice Cab
bert and was concurred in by JUS
ticc Campbell, Justice Steele dis
senting. The republican party,
as well as the conservative ele-
ment in other parties who believe
in law and order, have cause for
congratulation at this decision.
No better testimonial as to the
justness of the governors policy
could have been gwen, and it can
but have a salutary effect upon
the strike agitators in the state.

COLORADO FRUIT LANDS
SELL At HIGH PRICES
Large Demand for Orchard Farms and
Good Holdings Change Hands
at Good Figures.

GRAND JUNCTION. Col. Jan. 2-The

State has been greater this year than ever
before. Especially is this true in AMI

The first sale Of a ten-acre tract Of
fruit land was made by L. NJ. Landrith
TO Mrs w. f. Pryor for the sum Of s..
700. Later Mr. Landrith bought eight
acres from J. A. Lyons. for $500 A
few days ago J. c. Wilson. Of Overland,

Landrith for A.51].
All Of these lands are under irriga-
ton and have young orchards either
bearing or just planted upon them.
Land that today is bringing $500 TO
$500 an acre a few years ago would not
have brought that many cents. Ten
acres of dry land was sold by J. II. Sa-
giles to c. S. Kilgore for 500 and six and
one-half acres of fruit land was sold for

THE CITY POsTMASTERsHIP
It is Expected That Mr.. Merritt Will
Be Reappointed Shortly After Election


Postmaster Merritt has gone to his home
in Lockport, N. Y, where he will spend
thlrty-day leave from his duties. Mr. Mer-
rift has been closely attentive to the work
of the city post office during the entire
summer, and has taken his leave at this
time In order to be at his place of legal
residence on election day.
Before leaving the city he said that he
never had doubted the election of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. and that as the important
day approached he was, If such a thing
were possible, more confident than ever
That the republicans would carry the ban
ners of victory in November.
The long-held-up appointment of Mr.
post office is expected to be settled imme-
diately after election. There has never
been much doubt among those in a posi-
ton to know the circumstances of the case
that he Will receive the appointment and
there is believed to be no reason at this
time for an alteration in that opinion The
appointment was held up because, first of
the Investigations in the Post Office De-
partment, which in a measure affected the
local office, and second, for various minor
reasons.
The late Postmaster General Payne had
the papers in Mr.. Merritt's case in his
hands for months before his DEATH but
held them because of the many more impor-
tant things which demanded the immediate
attention of the President. 1t is expected
therefore, that after election, when mat
tiers will have been disposed of to a con-
siderable extent. the appoin tment will be
made, and Mr.. Merritt will be Washing
tons postmaster for another four years.

OPENING FOR SAW GRINDERS.
The Civil Service Commission to Hold
an Examination

The government printing office has work
for a saw grinder and the civil service COM
mission has been importuned to produce
one The request of the public printer opens
a new field for the activities of the cham
pions of civil service reform, and circular
has been issued calling on all saw grinders
who need the money to come forward and
be examined. The examination will not be
exhaustive. There are but three subjects
that will be inquired into: The age of the
applicant. his physical condition and his
experience as a saw grinder.
1t might be said that the commission does
not propose to accept any grinder who Is
not experienced. What he has done In this
line and what he knows about grinding
saws will make up 60 per centum of the
marking on the examination. Every appli-
cant is required to give the names and ad-
dresses of the persons for whom he has
ground saws and a rigid inquiry will be
made by the commission. From the list
of applicants received an eligible roll will
be made and all vacancies filled for the
position of saw grinder wherever they may
occur in the departments of public service.
1t is understood no ak grinders or persons
with such implements to be ground need
apply for permission to take this examina-
ton.
