referred to nominations for commits

With cheers for everybody and cv-
erything, and with the hcarticst wish
es for the welfare of Grand junction
and the Grand valley, the splendid
train of cars that was conveying the
Denver business mems excursion
through a mcteoric trip of six days
through three states, departed last
night, the best pleased body of active
izens that has ever visited this city
The Chamber of Commerce of this
city. in whose hands was given the
reception and entertainment of these
distinguished guests, are proud of
the entertainment afforded them.
But as great as is their satisfaction.
il did not nearly measure up to the
hearty commendation it received
from the hands of their guests last
night. as evidenced by words of
praise and thanks for the reception
rendered.
The matter of the entertainment
was given over into the hands of a
committee from the Chamber, con
sisting of Messrs. Bunting Buch-
mann, DR., Fisher, Edwin Price and
ex-omcio the president of the cham
ber, G. ]. Carpenter, who labored
hard to make the event a success.
which it certainly was.
The scheduled time of the arrival
of the train was 1920 o'clock, and at
that hour. almost on the dot. the spe-
cial carrying the business mems eX-
cursion arrived at the union station
The platform at the station was
crowded with citizens, who, in re
sponse to the general invitation eX-
tended by the Chamber of Commerce.
had assembled to greet the city's dis
ringuished guests. With cheers for
Grand Junction, the enthusiastic eN-
cursionists were soon disembarked
and procession extending several
squares soon formed.
The procession, headed by Mayor
Bunting. President Carpenter, Edwin
Price, Max Buchanan, Dr. Fisher
and Secretary Falconer, at once be
gan the march to the Auditorium.
The procession Of boosters and the
citizens following was led by the fa-
nous Cooke drum corps Of 90 pieces
whose stirring and martial music
gathered people from all parts OF the
CITY to witness the procession and
give acclaim to the welcome being
rendered the guests of the city. The
march was made to Main, to Fifth

Main street, to Fourth, Fourth to

Judge Gavin gave place to Mr..
Benson, who made one OF the hits Of
the evening by his wit and humor
He told several very telling stories.
which had local application here as
well as in Denver. His stories set
the house a-fre and assisted in ce-
menting the good feeling that per
vaded everything.
II was then announced that. al
though the informal program of
speaking had been concluded. that
requests had been made to hear from
Judge Johnson and "Parson' Tom
uzzell. Judge Johnson, who is a most
distinguished looking gentleman
made splendid address. conserva-
tive, broad and for the well-belng of
the state He said that out of this
state could come the very greatest
things, if the blight of too much pol
ltics could be eliminated. He spoke
most pleasantly of the city and went
even further in his prediction of the
future growth of Grand Junction.
Possibly the talk most enjoyed
was that of the famous "Parson.
The charities of the fighting parson
and his deeds of good have endeared
him not only to the people of his
home city, but to the people of the
state generally. His witticisms and
tales of experiences with "Soapy"
Smith and other gentlemen of local
and rather besmirched fame of Den
yer and the mining camps simply
convulsed his splendid audience. Ev-
cry word that the parson said, even
to the story of the stealing of his
pants at Creede. was listened to with
the most wrapt attention.
President Carpenter at this time
announced that the guests should re
main and come forward and partake
of the refreshments which had been
provided for them. This part of the
entertainment was solely in charge
Of DR.. c. D. Fisher, Robert A. Orr
and Secretary Falconer. The punch
seemed to have the right brew, the
apples were edBeIlN sought dll'I anu
the guests were given every atten-
ton to cement their welcome.
At $3.50 o'clock the line of march
Of return to the station was taken
up and a great crowd of citizens ac-
companied the eXcursionists to the
station, where an informal reception
was enjoyed also.
When the train pulled out for the
west, three cheers were given for the
Denver boosters and a return for the
citizens of Grand Junction by them.
Altogether the event was one of
the most enjoyable ever celebrated
in the city and has certainly done
much toward making conditions bet
ter understood. Even at the train
the excursionists could not finish say
ing enough words of praise for their
entertainment. saying that it was by
far the best that they had received
thus far on their journey.

the visitors.
AT the Auditorium the Cooke drum
corps rendered several very stirring
numbers, and. after an arrangement
had been made among the members
Of the excursion as to who should re.
spond for them. President Carpenter
of the Chamber of Commerce and the
speakers took position upon the plat
form. Looking out over that splen-
did audience that filed every chair
with several hundred unable to pro-
cure seats, IL was a most stirring and
beautiful scene. The members of the
excursion occupied the front chairs.
and the seats in the rear and along
the sides were all filled with the rep
resentatlve citizens OF Grand June
tion.
President Carpenter then intro
iuced Mayor Bunting, and in a talk
of about fifteen minutes MIR. Bunt-
ing gave most hearty welcome
to the city's guests. He spoke of the
fact that this was really the first
time that the capital city had ever
honored the western slope by a visit
and that it was appreciated and that
it was to he hoped that the benefits
would be reciprocal He asked the
members of the excursion to view
the splendid reception committee
which was at least thousand strong,
of the city's business men and take
It as a compliment to themselves.
President Carpenter then intro
duced Mr. D. stanley Edwards. one
of Denvers prominent citizens, who
smoke in response to the welcome ten
dered them by Mr. Bunting, He be
came enthusiastic and asked the au-
dience to remember his prophecy
that Grand Junction would have a
population OF 10000 in 1910. He
then spoke Of the capital city, the in
tent and purpose of the excursion
which they We're taking, and induced
intense enthusiasm among the boost
ers.
Mr.. Edwards was followed by Sen
ator Horace T. DeLong, who made a
hearty speech, conservative, broad
minded and hopeful for the future
of the city of his home, of the capi-
tai city and the state at large. Sen
ator DeLong was greeted most heart
ily. and if there was any lingering
doubt in his mind whether his course
at the state capitol was approved by
the people generally, it was dispelled
last night Mr. DeLong, as he al
ways does. made a splendid speech
which was received with rounds OF
applause by the great audience.
Judge Gavin followed Mr.. DeLone
and spoke in the same strain OF up
uft as did Mr.. Edwards, making a
very hearty and hattering speech ia
the people of this city and then out
lining what was hoped to be accomp-
Iished by the excursion then being
taken.
