Jimmie Britt has realized how
Corbett felt. when someone accost-
ed him as a has been" Those two
little words convey world of mean
ing and have all the elements of
desDairing wall.
We swear every time that we look
at the pictures of Foxy Grandpa"
and his two boys that we will never
look at them again. but no sooner
de we pick up a paper and run across
that page than we read through the
pictorial story and then feel like
cussing. 1t is queer what little
things will amuse us in this world.

Evidently Kaiser Wilhelm knew
about what the price of a first-class
indemnity should be. He placed the
sum at the amount which his grand
father, Emperor Wilhelm, received
from France. about five millards of
silver which means $4,000, ,O0O. 900.
His ADVICE to the Czar must have
carried the day, if that is what the
Mlkado received in the private
treaty.
A pretty fast pace was set last
year in the art department at the
Mesa county fair. To equal the dis I.
play of last year the ladies will have
to be going some" But from indi-
cations the display of last year will
be exceeded the present year The
premiums are twice as large as last
year and there will be every oppor-
tunity provided by the management
of the fair to give room for an ex-
cellent display.
We should feel pretty mad if we
were in the position of President
Roosevelt and had received praise
from the world for our Offices in Sc
curing the treaty of peace between
the Car and the Millado. and then
find out that the real treaty had been
made by the Car and Mikado.

larry. It is considerably like giving
the president of the United States
the horse laugh on his diplomacy.

President Jeffrey's report of the
finances of the Rio Grande shows
that the road has earned a good
round profit over all expenses. He
makes comparison and Shove that, /
although the road was prosperous
last year. 1t is more so at the end of
this fiscal year. With the graf
ification INDUCED in over the roads
success, we would be pleased if Pres
ident Jeffry would attempt to give
Grand Junction better facilities in
the way of passenger service from
this city. Three trains a day was the
service we had from this city. when
the passenger travel was about one
half of what it is today.

There are no less than three of
four people in this city who believe
right now that the Rio Grande has
no intention of building that new
depot. They are the same parties
who swore that no one would be
such silly fool as to build a sugar
factory in Grand Junction and who
said that no one would find it pos
sible to raise a thousand dollars to
build a smelter. This class of peo-
pie would any time give ten dollars /
to see a scheme fail. just so they /
could say u told you so" They /
are like the poor always with us.
but thank heaven no one gives any (
weight whatever, to what they think .
or say.
II is n genuine fact that Denver
has discovered the man who is re-
sponsible for the success of the G.
A. h. eneampment and proposes to
do something handsome by him It
is Gen. Geo w. Cook, after whom
the famous Cook drum corps was
named So frequently there are
so many claimants for the honor of
success in any thing that no one
gets the praise due them. Gen.
Cook is to be presented with a low
ing cup by the merchants of Den
yer and If ever man deserved re-
membrance it is Gen. Cook who. for
the past six months has worked I'M I
tiringly for the success of the en-
campment

The Plaindealer of ouray believes |
that the people of that town owe the
people of Montrose debt OF honor" =" /.
which they should pay by attending /
the Montrose fair. We have read |
the contention of the Plaindealer. |
but can hardly see how that paper |
can take the matter so seriously. 1
We think That Ouray is as much in
