geon, who has been in charge of the

received a telegram from Surgeon
General Wyman. ordering him to
take entire charge of the situation.
The situation is now admitted to
be extremely serious as a number of
new cases are in the better part of
the city where the fever had been
kept out up to the present time.
The announcement that President
Roosevelt had acted on the request
of Governor Blanchard TO have the
marine hospital service take charge
of the situation gave general salts

ground that Louisiana ought not to
surrender her sovereignty and con

President Roosevelt has made an
engagement to come to New Orleans
besides visiting other states in the
south in October.
DIR. White expects advice today
that his department has assumed

AN OLD FIRM GOES

city. almost since the beginning of
Grand Junction as a town. w. ii.
Lee for many years conducted the
business as a general store and after
wards as an exclusive grocery and
meat market and for many years
the business has enjoyed a very large
patronage.

has been one OF the land marks of

business OF the gentlemen compos-

all times they have conducted their
business in an entirely fair and up
right manner. The cause OF the sale
principally has been the health OF

BLANKS
DECIDED ACCEPTABLE.

This morning the clerks in the reg
istration offices at this place an
nounCed that the power of attorney
and appointment OF agent blanks
used by the old soldiers who make
applications through agents of the
form "A-2tG,' printed by the w. +.
Robinson Printing Company of Den
yer, were legal and this morning
many applications made out on these
blanks were handed in and accepted.
Wednesday Chief Clerk Wahly and
his assistants turned down all appli-
cations made on the Robinson blanks,
they holding that the president S
proclamation stated that these appli-
cations must be made on blanks fur
nished by the government. and that
il was their intention to follow the
provisions of the proclamation to the
letter, although these blanks of the
Robinson company had been read
and approved by one of the land Of
fees.
As this meant much delay TO hun
dreds of old soldiers in different
parts of the country. who had made
out applications ON blanks printed by
the Robinson Printing COMPANY and
sent them by their agents. the matter
was promptly taken up by Charles
Aft' IlA-u anu NJ II. IOut4s Denver
land agents, and Mayor Bunting of
tbs city. Commissioner Richards was
wired at once and Judges Mullins
and Bailey of Denver were asked to
use their Influence to have the blanks
made acceptable.
No notice was received by any of
these gentlemen and no public az
nouncement was made by the Of
tcials, but this morning it was found
that the blanks were being accepted.
1t is presumed that the officials
made careful investigation, and find
ing that the forms were correct and
legal, decided to accept them begin
ming this morning.
II is certainly fortunate that the
federal officials did not decide to en-
tirely throw out all of these appli-
cations. for, if such had been. the
case, hundreds OF old soldiers in diff
terent parts of the country would
have been unable to register. As It
is the delay caused much confusion
and will result in quite a number OF
The old fellows getting left out.
The matter is necessarily one OF
great Importance, and the decision
of the officials has been eagerly
awaited, and will be joyously re
ceived.
