There Is nothing burning about the
enthusiasm Of the republicans for
their municipal ticket. No ready
made ticket will enthuse half as
much as one in which all take hand
in creating.
For several years past we have
taken the position that the rank and
file of republicans in the county make
useless waste of time to assemble
in convention. when the tickets are
usually ready-made for them to give
pretended endorsement.

The railroads entering Grand
Junction have announced that they
will permit stopovers at Grand juno
ton on all tickets reading to the
Lewis and Clarke exposition at Port
land, Ore, this summer. Now write
all your friends who purpose taking
trip into the northwest this sum
mer to come via Grand Junction and
visit the greatest fruit section of the
west.

The parks OF the city have been
watered by flooding The result is
that sediment and foreign matter is
deposited, and the grass has never
been a credit to the city The land
lies in ridges. and as a whole the
parks are anything else than places
of rest and comfort. There is only
one way to water the grass and that
is by spraying through hose or from
pipes. discussion of the matter
in an attempt to beautify the city
parks was had at the Chamber of
Commerce last night. 1t was there
suggested that the park on Ute be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets
should be raised foot or more. and
that the system of flooding be aban
doned and an attempt to care for
the park on proper lines be insisted
upon. So long as the street com
missioner is compelled TO care for
the city parks as a side issue, so long
viii they be mud holes and unsight-
ly spots. Grand Junction ought to
be able to secure and pay for the SER
vices of landscape gardener to out
line and prosecute the work of max
ing for us system of parks. The
matter win be urged upon the coun-
ell by the Chamber of Commerce and
the woman's Club

To the staid and sober business
man. who finds no pleasure save in
counting the coin of the realm, it
sounds doubtless very flippant to be
urging the necessity of making beau
tiful the city in which he resides. He
goes on the theory 1T was good
enough for dad; it is good enough
for me- But no such argument
finds hearty response in this day.
Men are better business men because
of comfortable and even luxurious
surroundings and the inhabitants of
a city are more solid. substantial and
honorable with a city made beauti-
full through their efforts. In Den
yer. Mayor Speer is providing or

latest design. solely with the intent
of creating a beautiful impression
upon the visitors to the capital city |

the expense of seeming finnicky on |!
the subject, or mayhap sentimental. |
we shall never CEASE agitating for
something better than we have in
street ornamentation. We must new

DREW A BILLY
ON A CONDUCTOR
Exciting Incident in a Tower Line
Train-Lady Leaps from
Car.

An animated argument between a
conductor and a hot-headed, widowed
passenger created something OF a sen
sation on one of the trains coming in
TO town on the Watch Tower line last
night The trouble grew out of the
passenger insisting upon sitting on the
rail on the front platform of the trail
er. The conductor eXpOstulated with
him for the infraction of the company's
rules in the interest of safety. but the
man was Obdurate, and the conductor
finally took hold of him and made him
sit on the forward seat. This was not
accomplished. however. until the irate
passenger had drawn from his hip
pocket a billy and threatened 10 brain
the conductor on the spot. AS the
men seized each other a number of
lady passengers screamed and one of
them threw herself from the car. An
other excitable passenger pulled the
trolley off the wire, and thus plunged
the train into darkness and brought il
TO an abrupt stop out in the country
between switches.
The man who caused the trouble was
finally Gained and pursuaded TO sit
down and the lady who had jumped
from the car was found uninjured and
the train proceeded on its way to
Rock Island But the conductor and the
passenger kept up a chewing match
that was anything but edifying to the
other people on the train.
