To Increase Service

c. o. Baxter, vice president and
general manager of the Uintah rail-
way, accompanied by Mrs. Baxter
are visitors to the city today.
Mr.. Baxter accorded an interview
to a Sentinel man this morning and
he was found to be very enthusiastic
over the proposal to make Grand
Junction n registry point for the
Uintah reservation. Mr.. Baxter said
in part that the government needed
more than one registry point and
that for the intending settlers com
ing from the east Grand Junction was
the ideal point for the location of
the registry office.
Speaking of their Accommodations
to carry passenger traffic into the
reservation and to the land office
at Vernal, Mr.. Baxter stated that
they would soon have an equipment
of seven locomotives running on the
road from Mack to Dragon; that
from Dragon at present they had FIVE
big Concord coaches, capable of ac-
commodating nine passengers each.
and that they had two fast automo-
biles of four passenger service each,
and that there was in course of CON
struction four big autos of a capaci-
ty of fifteen passengers. Mr.. BaX-
ter said that to accommodate the
rush they would secure four or five
more big coaches.
The gentleman gave several most
important pointers of how the ear of
the government might be reached.
These will be used at once by the
Chamber of Commerce, President
Carpenter and several other mem
bers having had the pleasure of
meeting Mr.. Baxter.
Francis e. Leupp, commissioner
of Indian affairs, Will arrive in this
city tomorrow on "A visit to the Tel
Ter Institute, and a committee of the
Chamber of Commerce will meet with
him and solicit his good offices in
behalf of making this city the regis
try point, or at least one of them.
Mr.. Leupp came down over the Uin-
tah railway today and will arrive in
the city tonight. remaining over to-
morrow at the school.
The members of the Chamber OF
Commerce believe, conjointly with
Mr.. Baxter, that. if the endorsement
of the commissioner of Indian affairs.
Mr.. Leupp, can be obtained for Grand
Junction, it will have more effect
than anything else yet done in be
half Of making this registry point
Nothing that will possibly assist
in directing the attention of the gov
ernment to this city as registry
point will be left undone, that the
people can rest assured of. the Cham
ber of Commerce being alive to every
interest that affects the matter.

SURRENDERS SHIP
Potemkine Again Flies
Russian Flag
I Special 10 The sentineI.1

Custinji, Roumania, July S.-The
flag OF Russia again floats over the
battleship Kniaz Potemkine, and the
torpedo boats which have proved
such terrors to the Black sea COM
munity for a couple of weeks past.
The formal surrender of the mu-
tinous crews occurred at l o'clock
this afternoon, after a series of dis
cussions and negotiations between
the Roumanian authorities and the
leaders of the mutineers.
The Roumanian officers, who
boarded the battleship on her ar
rival here, called upon the crew to
surrender, in which case they would
be treated as foreign deserters, or
else leave the port forthwith.
II soon became apparent that the
crews had returned to this point with
the intention of giving themselves up
to the foreign government, and they
soon announced their acceptance of
the Roumanian terms.
The mutinous crews have been
landed and are now being dis
stations in Roumania.
The mutineers offered to give the
battleship to the Roumanian govern
ment, as they did not wish that the
vessel should be handed back to the
Russian authorities.
The mutineers asked that the Rou-
manian government guarantee them
Roumanian transports. and also that
they should not be eXtradited to Rus

CITYPLEASED Them .
Mondell Speaks Well of
Grand Junction

There is no doubt that Grand
Junction and the Grand valley made
most favorable impression on the
congressional committee on arid
lands during their short visit to this
section, and. according to the news
paper dispatches, especially did F..
w, Mondell, chairman of the COM
mittee, find much to be delighted
over in the valley.
An expression of Congressman
Mondell's opinion is found in the
following taken from the Denver
News of yesterday morning:
Congressman e. w Mondell of
Wyoming left for his home last night
after his extended trip with the con
gressional party through the western
country. Mr.. Mondell was probably
the most enthusiastic member Of the
party. and he thoroughly inspected
and investigated all the government
projects.
While the Gunnison tunnel prop
osition appealed to most of the par
ty as being the greatest and largest
proposition, still the Grand Junction
project appealed especially to Mr.
Mondell.
The people in and about Grand
Junction, who will be benefited by
this project when completed, will
have in Mr.. Mondell an ardent cham
pion for their cause in the next CON
gress.
THAT Grand Junction district is
fine country. and we will do all we
can for it, he said. "Inasmuch as
the money in the reclamation SER
vice treasury is at present exhausted
in fostering other works, nothing
can be done at present, but as soon
as the necessary money is in sight
firmly believe the government will
take up and finish the irrigation pro-
ject for that western country. The
reason why | am so interested in this
scheme is that the small ranchmen
will be benefited.
"One particularly striking feature
of our trip was the number of small
yet prosperous ranchmen that we
met. Strange as it may seem. in ir-
rigated countries the man who has
20 acres of land on which he raises
fruit is much more prosperous in
financial way than is the man who
has four times as much land.
while | had heard that such was
the case very often, | never thought
that there was SO much truth to the
assertion.
THE man. too, who has from 40
to so acres of land in wheat is by
far better off than his neighbor who
has 200. When land is irrigated it
necessitates a great deal of care and
work. Hence, If a man has more
than he can look after ne is not GO
ing to get as much per acre out of
his land as will his neighbor who
works only half as much. but works
that thoroughly.
THE district where the ranches
are small. therefore. is the most
prosperous, and that is one of the
reasons that | favor the Grand June
tion scheme so much All the farms
will be small there, and many peo-
pie will settle in that beautiful coun
try"

The bantam, once active and

ter the barn where it and the horse
spent many happy days.
1t was a common sight to see the
bantam standing on the feed-box rub
bling his neck over the horses nose,
and sometimes the rooster would
stand still several minutes while the
horse gently swung her nose over the
bantam's feathers, as though en-
deavoring to smooth them down.
At evening, when the horse drew
the meat wagon into the yard, the
bantam would sprint down to the
gate and the two strange friends
would make a great fuss over each
other, the horse whinnying and the
rooster strutting and growing.
