The Montrose papers are going
after their fair association red not for
sending some of the printing for
their fair out Of the city. They are
I justified.
! SILK stocking and fancy French
| lingerie seem TO be two of the prin-
cipal points in discussion, as to who
I was the purchasing agent for half
dozen army society bellies, in the
Taggert divorce trial.

With AN order out for the con
struction of nearly fifty crossings, II |
does not look as if things are being |
very greatly neglected in city affairs |
I Considering the amount of money
[ left in the various funds by the lasi
/ city council, the members of that
body would be warranted in stop
/ ping all work on the streets.

Wool growers ought TO be very
| happy over the price that Is being |
paid for wool. The price in compar-
/ isOn to what it was a half-dozen years |
ago is about double. Nineteen cents |
a pound for first class wool is not |
considered a very high price. Some
] of the best clip is bringing twenty
\ two cents a pouna. This price will |
stimulate the industry of sheep rails |
/ ing in the west.

The amount of fool stuff that the |
I associated press will send out is
most surprising. One of the very lat
est is the proposal of the Sultan OF
/ Sulu for the hand of Alice Roosevelt |
Now that was simply first class rot |
with nothing to back it in the least
A joke at the expense OF the presi
dents daughter may appear very en-
tertaining, but so far as it's value |
as news matter it is nil.

One of the matters to which the |
city council will address itself is the |
grading of Main street between |
1 Third and Fourth streets. Last |
year, during the period of muck and |
mire that reigned for several months |
the muck was pulled from the ditch |
es to the center of the street. There |
is a ridge now on the street whicl |
must be ploughed up and carted of |
before winter weather sets in again |

City Engineer Haskell has furnish |
DIOultS Ol lut BIdueS on ABOUT elBn- |
teen miles of streets thus far This |
establishment of regular grades for
the streets was one of the things |
promised by the new city admins
tration and they are keeping theil
word on the matter. The work can
not be consummated in day, a week
or month, it will take time and the |
work must be well done, as il is pro
posed that when the grades are ful
ly established that they will be per
manent and of vast benefit to the
city.
The five states in which the earth
quake was noticeable have been con
sidered in the earthquake zone of this
country for many years. Especially |
Is it true of southeast Missouri ana
western Tennessee sections. In 1871
a very severe earthquake caused q
great lake, known as Reelfoot lake
to be formed in western Tennessee |
All that country also, known as the
overflow district of southeast Mis-
souri, was in the zone of the seismic /
disturbances. 1t has been noted
though that within the past decade
that class of disturbances are beCom-
ing more frequent. Scientists are
inclined to the opinion that portions
OF the United States which have been
included in the disturbed zone, may
ances as many places in the Occideut

Is it a prince of the royal blood
or simply a plain American citizen
who has done very little to commend
him to the public, who is travelling
, around the world receiving consid-
Grafton in the name of the Americ-
an people? We think that Secretary
TAFT is playing his trip for all that It !
II " fub lima agrirn
the consideration he is receiving that
he is a special envoy of the govern
ment, from the way in which the
European governments vie to do him
honor. The trip Mr.. Secretary
Taft is taking is just one of the hun
dred or more iunteting trips provid- |
ed for the selected government pets
and which is costing this government
millions of dollars to permit. The |
araignment of the government
graft sent out through the associated !
press yesterday shows to what length |
the government is being used for
private pleasure and gain.
Speaking of extra editions OF news |
papers in Grand junction it is anus
ing to read the claims of another |
paper about issuing the first extra |
edition of n daily newspaper I'm one /
day and the immense t21 sum il spent |
in telegraphic tolls. Regard for the I
truth is not an element usually found |
in the make up of the paper, as it |
frequently is compelled to apologize /
the next issue for what appeared i'm /
the previous one. II Will not be |
hard for il to be understood that not |
only was its extra edition not the |
very first extra edition in the city, /
but not even the tenth one. During |
the Espano-American war the Daily /
( sentinel issued more than a half |
dozen extra editions and spent q sum
approNimating a thousand dollars for
it's special telegraphic service. it be
ing the only service supplied the
public in this city during the war
ON the same day of the occurrences
in that conflict. During the existence
of the Daily Star there were four or
{ five extra editions. Some dav that
