lie life in the republic of France. in
stead of the United States, undoubt-
edly his entry there would be reason
able cause for alarm. However, the
spirit of free government is SO in
herent in the life of the American
branch of the Bonaparte family that.
even should his sphere of usefulness
be transferred to France. there would
not necessarily be cause for alarm.
We hardly believe that the Bona
parte family. at least the American
branch of it, have even remote hope
of ever being called upon to preside
over a monarchy in France. The
dreams of the great Napoleon and
of the rest of the Napoleonic dynasty
are over so far as France is con
cerned. Mr.. Bonaparte has been
useful citizen of Baltimore for many
years. and his forebears have been
| Identified with its life for nearly a
century. 1t may even be farcial to
comment in the above strain; yet,
whenever the name Bonaparte is
mentioned, it brings TO life the most
remarkable figure that ever trod the
EARTH and his name and his fame
is never-dying. So true is this fact
even here in America, when some
member of the family does something
it revives all the glory of that won
derful spirit that rose from nothing
and established a monarchial dynas-
ty that astonished the world.

OF one thing Fruita can be con
graduated upon: it at all times has
maintained high standard of eff
cheney in her public schools. AS a
town it may be little short on civic
pride. or it may progress slowly to-
ward town life: but, from an edu-
cational standpoint, it has been in
the van of progress. Tonight there
will be dedicated with banquet the
new Union high school building. This
structure would be a credit to a city
but II is none too good for the citi-
zens of Fruita and the Fruita school
district. The Sentinel takes pride
in commencing the board of school
control of that district that it has
spared no money to make the new
school building something of which
| the people and the patrons of the
school may well feel proud With the
equipment that Will be contained in
the new school building and what is
already a part of the schools already
existant, no town in western Colora-
do will be better prepared to educate
its youth than Fruita.

We cannot hope to maintain clean
streets if the public wilfully throws
refuse of all kinds into the alleys.
The city, at considerable expense, has
gone to work and cleaned the alleys
of the city-at least they will soon
have the work finished. When that
work is completed drastic measures
will be taken against property own
ers if they disobey the law. If it
is proposed that we shall be cussed
for having unclean streets. we prefer
the cussing from those who will not
join in their maintenance. These
people will be dealt with according
to the strictest letter of the law.

Their was no anticipation that
there would be trouble in the excava-
tion for the Gunnison tunnel; but,
from the character of the soil thai
is being met, extraordinary precau-
tions will have to be taken to pre-
vent such horrible disasters as has
just occurred. The contractors must
not depend upon general conditions,
but the government should provide
the most careful timberng for this
work,

Grand Junction should be the
wholesale supply point for the boom
ers as well as for the settlers later,
in the uintah reservation.
90.
A straight drive of 100 miles from
Grand Junction will land anyone in
the heart of the Uintah Indian reser-
walton.
From all other points of entrance
into the Uintah reservation there are
untold difficulties to overcome.
90.
There is room for 100. 900 families
to settle on the lands of the Uintah |
Indian reservation.
