Offered Homes

Further efforts have been made
during the past few days by several
of the ministers OF the city to get
the women of the half-world in the
different houses in this city to for
sake the life Of shame and make
an effort TO lead a better life.
The ministers have made offers to
some OF the parties of good homes
and employment outside of Grand
Junction. and would establish them
in these homes and positions at once
II the women would agree.
One party had about consented to
take the steps. and the arrange
ments were made. when yesterday.
according to information furnished
The Sentinel by the ministers, the
plans fell through with.
Another case has been under con
sideration. and in this instance it is
very probable that the women will
consent to go.
1t is stated that the county com
missioners have agreed to furnish
the funds to the ministers necessary
to carry out the plans
The question as to whether a good
ly portion of the fallen women will
take advantage Of the offers of re-
spectacle homes and honest employ
ment or show their desire to contin-
ne the crimson path, remains to be
answered.

A recommendation was made from
one of the committees of the Cham
ber OF Commerce. at the last regular
meeting of the board of directors.
that the board of school control and
the county commissioners be com
muicated with in an endeavor to Sc
cure their cooperation to beautify
the grounds of the public schools of
the city and the court house square
The recommendation was very per
tinent one and it is to be hoped that
the work of making beautiful these
bare spots in the cty's anatomy be
begun at once. Then there is an
other matter that the city should
take up and that would be to employ
the services Of a forester to trim the
shade trees on the public streets.
No one need feel that we are be-
coming too esthetie in pushing these
matters. We will never grow so
beautiful that it will be burdensome.
Our natural condition has been rag
ged for many years and we can AFFORD
to make every effort to push the work
of beautifying the city.

INDOOR TENNIS
is A SUCCESS

Probably never before has tennis been
played amid such surroundings as it
was last night at Mechanics Pavilion.
Indians at one end, Chinese children
singing hymns at the other and trees
and animals on all sides made up the
setting. The games were the first of a
series to be played in connection with
the Forest, Fish and Game show, and
proved both interesting and exciting
The light was rather strong and made
1t difficult for the players to see the
balls. The game was much faster than
on the asphalt. In fact, the balls took
such fast bound that the players had
considerable difficulty in playing off
them. An uncertain footing was also
added to their troubles
After the players had become accus-
toned tc the surroundings some fast
tennis was played. The opening match
was a doubles between Herbert Schmidt
and Harry Rolfe and George James and
Herbert Long, all of the California
Club. Schmidt and Rolfe played a re-
markably good game and beat their op-
ponents easily. Schmidt was the star
Of the four, and although he has had
no practice he played even better than
on the asphalt. The score was 6-3, 6-1
The second match played was a sin
giles between James and Clarence Grif-
fin of the Golden Gate Club The con-
testants were evenly matched and an
exceptionally good game resulted.
Griffin won the first set by a score of
IS. James took the second, 6-3. The
third and deciding set was a hard
fought affair, which necessitated the
playing of twenty games. James. who
was constantly ahead after the tenth
game, finally won the set, 11-9. The
score, in his favor, was 81, 6-3. 11-9.
On Saturday afternoon Harry RoIfe
and Carl Gardner will meet in singles.
In, doubles j. r. Lewis and E. P. Finni
gan will be opposed to Charles Dunlap
and Charles Foley.
