there could be no quibbling. The
personnel of the ticket is such that
it should engage the moral support
of the public.
The thanks OF tine democrats Of
the city is due the committee that
has had the filling of vacancies in
charge.
Werner u. Reed, who, from year
10 year, becomes more and more
largely interested in the Grand val
ley. has named it the Little En-
pire," and it seems to us a most ap-
propriate name for this splendid sec
tion of the country. No section of
all the west seems so rich in promis-
es for the future as the Grand val
ley. Mr.. Reed lately made a state
ment to the press of Denver, which
has been instrumental in attracting
great attention to this country He
says he knows of no section of west
ern America that offers such an at
tractive field for Investment as Grand
valley. Such a statement from a man
of such large and varied business ex-
perience as Mr.. Reed, carries with it
much weight, and that there will
come good from such statements it
even seems unnecessary for us to
say.
The Second ward nominees for al
darn nanic bonore ora 1abo,t, ,.a,,,.o
sentatives. They are J. b. Bedwen
and Peter Chellius. These men have
taken a large interest in labor or
ganization and have been instrument
tai in securing for their respective
organizations consideration at the
hands of the public All the other
nominees, save one, for aldermanic
honrs, are business men, and it is
well that labor should be represent
ed upon the council. Both these gem
tlemen are well known and able and
intelligent, in fact, are leaders of
thought along labor lines That their
previous services in organized bod
les will be of service to them. if elect
ed, is unquestionable.

A chain of sugar factories for the
western slope of Colorado, with
French capital largely interested, is
the big project that has startled the
sugar making world of Colorado The
Denver papers devoted several col
umns Sunday to a great project be-
hind which are Werner u. Reed, the
millionaire mining man and promot-
er, and j. r. McKinnie, the father
of the beet sugar industry of the
state, who invested the first $4,000
in the Grand junction factory, the
first sugar factory in Colorado.
There are rich things in store for
Grand Junction and the western
slope through this great combina-
ton of capital. The first step toward
the realization of their project is
the enlargement of the Grand juno
tion factory. We can see great things
dustry of Colorado, and especially
for the western slope. Mr.. Reeds
interest in western Colorado matters
is bound to make this section heard
of more in the next few years than
1t has been for the past ten years.
What we need to do is to boost ev-
erything of material value to this
section. There is no industry too
small which we should not make an
effort to secure.

When Lutte Wilcox of the Field &
Farm attempts to be funny he makes
himself about as ridiculous as it is
possible for a man to be. Lute's
knowledge of things pomological are
about as large as some other bump
klns of much supposed learning who
say that there is no seedless fruit of
any commercial value. They include
in this sweeping statement even the
splendid navel orange. Well, Lutte
Wilcox has had it in for the seedless
apple for long time. He grows wild
when he sees that. without the use
of his dinky little farm journal, the
knowledge of this wonderful discov-
cry has encireled the globe. and men
who have in the smallest lobe of
their brain more pomological know
ledge than Lutte could cram in his
