time, we are glad to note a few that
we think would be of interest to its

On account of the zero weather the
people of this place and vicinity find
it very difficult to do much hauling,

out as it did on ground hog day.
We are glad to note that there has
been but little sickness prevailing so
far this winter. Let US wish for con-

Reports Show An Increase Since Last
Year.-Garrett' Basis Over
$7,ooo.ooo

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Feb. 21.-Ofi-
cial figures of the total assessed value
of taxable property in the INHERENT
counties of Maryland and Baltimore
city show that there has been slight
increase in the amount in the state
since last year, and that there has
also been some increase in Baltimore
city, Notwithstanding the fire. The
total in the state reaches $3.50, 743, 794,
against s67S, S37, 1893 last year, and the
total for Baltimore city is 1886, 362,-
772, against 1886, 34s, 52S last year.
The amount raised by the state tax
is much in excess of previous years,
owing to the fact that the rate is now
224 cents on the 800.
The increased rate is due to the fix
ing of the school tax at 10 cents, in-
stead of 104, and the levYing of the
tax of one cent on the 800 on the
public building loan of 1904. The
amount which will be raised this year

STATE AID FOR ROADS.

The Court of Appeals having de.
clared in a decision announced Feb
ruary 9th that the Shoemaker Road
Law is constitutional, nothing now
stands in the way of the State and
the counties working shoulder to
shoulder to obtain that greatestof all
Poons to rural communities good
roads. The Highway Division Of the
Maryland Geological Survey has
everything prepared and, in some
cases, surveys made so that there can
be no delay in starting in on the work
if the county commissioners only do
their share and apply promptly and
before March 1st. 1905.
The attractiyeness of the law as a
business proposition is so self-evident
as to need no elaboration. The ex-
amples Of Massachusetts, New Jersey
New York and Connecticut furnish
data and living examples of the good
that must inevitably follow improved
roads. Progressive communities in
variably have good reads or are at
tanning that end rapidly as common
surate with good financial manage
ment, and conversely, good roads in
variably indicate progressive com
communities. No matter how at
tractive a county or section NAV be
otherwise, the wide-awake man in To-
eating shuns bad roads. 1t is the first
thing that appeals to or repeats Wis,
itors, and one of the things that fixes
lasting impressions for good or bad are
the roads of a state. Therefore Mary
land, to be classed with her progress
i've neighbors to the north, must take
hold of this Improvement with vim.
Formerly the lame expense of good
roads stood in the way-now this is
halved and there is no reason why
every county should not make start
to raise itself to meet the demands of
present day progress, and apply for
at least some of its money, enough to
build mile or two of these roads
which will last years afterthe present
patch system has repaired again and
again.
The county commissioners of this
county have not shown their progress
sive spirit by applying for State aid.
1t should be borne in mind that for
the county to receive benefit it is nee
essary for the county commissioners
to sign the formal petition and send
it to the Highway Division of the
Maryland Geological Survey before
March LIST.
The construction of these roads is
to be under the immediate superyis.
ion of the Highway Division of the
Maryland Geological survey, of which
DIR. VIM. Bullock Clark is the super
intendent and A. n. johnson High
way Engineer. The law requires
that detailed plans and surveys and
estimates of the cost of the work shall
be made before tn. building of the
road is undertaken. The amount of
money allotted by law to each county
is in accordance with the road mile
age of the respective counties. Gar
gett is entitled to receive $4,000 pro-
viding the county commissioners pc
tition for State aid before the first of
March.
IL the administrative offices pro
pose to anything along this line the
time has arrived for action.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democratic party Of Grand Junction, in
convention assembled by its representatives
from the various wards OF the city, for the pur-
pose of presenting to the voters OF the city a
municipal ticket for their sufrages, oesire to
hereby renew their allegiance to the principles
of the democratic party and to again proclaim
their devotion to the interests of the common
1t is a fundamental principle of free govern
ment that the will of the people Is its safeguard
and while it Is true that in the nation, our op-
ponents, the republican party, have been sue
cessful, because II has the wealth and backing
of corporations with which to prostitute voters
and subvert the will OF the common people,
still the democratic party undismayed Is ever
to the fore in defense Of the rights Of the masses
We believe that the democratic party, while
at present the minority party, has great duty
to perform and that in the performance of 1t
will in due time be everywhere triumphant. 1t
is and has been the party OF reform and the
party to which the people rely for the correc-
tion of abuses, a fact which is most evident be
cause many OF those suggested now in the op-
posite party for action, are nothing less than
stolen thunder OF democratic platforms.
We believe unquestionably that it is our party
that the mass Of people look to for reform and
retrenchment. We believe in the execution OF
laws they written upon the statute books
and regard it as subversiye of the principles Of
a true democratic form OF government, to ac-
cord special privileges to the few, as against
the masses.
We invite all those who desire a progressive
administration OF the city affairs and those who
desire to have corrected abuses demanded by
the people, to join with Us in the election OF our
We pledge our candidates to inaugurate an
equitable and Just rate of taxation, that the
burden may be reduced gradually and our
bonded Indebtedness obliterated through the
means of an economical government.
We pledge our candidates to evolve some
method for permanent street improvements,
later looking to having same paved in the bust
ness section, also to establish permanent grades.
We pledge our candidates to the enforcement
of the city ordinances and to that end will in
sist that each and every officer perform such
service to the city, as is contemplated by the
law and the ordinances.
We lastly pledge our candidates to an eco
nomical management of the city's interests and
later by purchase or erection to control all the
public utilities for the benefit of the whole peo-
pie and that the administration be watchful Of
the small as well as the large concerns in which
the people are Interested and to which they pay
their taxes to support.

DIR. F. B. Bull of DeBeque is a

Dan Hill of the Mesa County State
Bank returned home today on No.

mia and other western states. He
returns feeling considerably i'm

absence. In California Mr.. Hill Wis
tied Los Angeles, Riverside, Sacra-
mento and Oakland, spending most

many old-time friends. and his va
cation was one round of pleasure.
On the return trip Mr.. Hill visited
Cheyenne and Denver. He was out
of the city about five weeks.

clares that the Baldwin is by far the
superior for concert work to any 9TH

of his superiors. So far as the per-
sonel of the two conventions is con
cerned, they would size up together
with very little difference. But no
man desires to be classed as an "ani-
NAL" when he is performing a civic
luty, delegated to him by the con-
stitution.
No man has cleaner record for
personal purity in the city of Grand
Junction than Charles s., Wallis.
When man attempts to throw mud
at Charles S. Wallis. without he is
well informed. he had better let the
job out by proxy. The business men
and every citizen who has taken
notes of men and things in Grand
Junction for years past, know, if they
know anything, that profanity, in
temperance or any of the kindred
delinquencies to which man is heir.
are as foreign to the habits of
Charles S. Wallis as to the man who
wears the cloth. No man would hon
position of marshal better than Mr..
Wallis. He believes in law and order
and is ready and willing to enforce
them. Bold as a lion, gentle as a
woman, the ordinances of this city
will be enforced to the letter, if the
people elect him to the position to
which he has been nominated.

Barnum always said that it didn't

1t is with the greatest pleasure
that The Sentinel goes on record in
behalf of the candidacy of d. II. Stone
for the position of city treasurer.
Mr. Stone is known everywhere in
the city for his conservative methods
of conducting business, and he should
make this city an ideal custodian of
its funds There is no reason in the
belief that there is only one man
who can with safety be entrusted
with the citys funds. Mr.. Stone has
every element to commend him to
all people for that office.
