The MOndeII
Committee
Visit the City

The congressional committee
known as the Mondell committee on
the irrigation of arid lands arrived
in this city little ahead of schedule
time Monday night and its members
we're met by the members of the
board of directors of the Chamber
of Commerce and a number of citi-
zens in carriages.
The distinguished party was driv-
en- to a point of land on Orchard
mesa, right in the delta OF the Gun
nison and Grand rivers, where a mag
nihcent view of the Grand valley
could be had. together with a view
of the powerful rivers flowing
through the valley and joining each
other in this city. The members of
the distinguished party were charmed
with the perspective as viewed from
there and could not praise the grand
view too greatly.
From there the party was driven
to Fruit ridge and beyond. where the
differences between the cultivated
lands of the valleys and the arid
section proposed to be watered could
be viewed. Many were the express
sions of surprise at the wonderful
body of land which lay uncultivated
and unwatered above the present ir-
rigation bitches and could be re
claimed through the medium of the
proposed High Line canal project
For two hours or more the party
were driven to points in the valley,
and a short drive through the princi-
pal streets and residential districts
of the city. The gentlemen of the
distinguished party We're more than
surprised at the evidences of sub
stantial growth and prosperity on
every hand. The new buildings in
course of construction and the evil
dences of growing commercial city
We're noted and commented upon.
About $50 pm. the party re-
turned to the Grand hotel. After a
short interval the ladies and gentle
men were invited to the banquetting
tables. where, with the Chamber of
Commerce of the city as the host, a
delightful spread was enjoyed,
The party included Governor Nc
Donald and all the congressman of
this state and the regular members
of the party, except the senatorial
end of the committee, which left the
party at Denver and Cheyenne to 20
to the Philippines.
Mayor /. N. Bunting acted as toast

master of the evening. A course
dinner, served in splendid style, was
fully enjoyed by the party. At the
conclusion OF the banquet and at the
request of Chairman Mondell. no
speeches We're INDUCED in by mem
bers of the party on account of the
fact that the party was due to leave
at 10 o'clock and they had remained
already over their time. The fact
that some few of the very distin-
guished members OF the party could
not have responded to the toasts was
greatly regretted, but in Difference
to the wishes OF the party that part
of the program was abandoned.
Mayor Bunting in a few remarks
stated to the committee that the city
and the people of Grand Junction
and the valley were complimented
that the committee had consented.
after first refusing to come to this
city and hoped that what they had
learned of the vast acreage that
could be peopled by settlers. and the
fact that such tremendous water
power 10 supply water for the re
clamatioa OF land, had been well
studied by them, and that whatever
should arise i'm the future, that they
would not forget the valley and its
claims to their consideration.
During the banquet the citizens
who were invited to meet the com
mittee had ample opportunity to con-
verse with various members of the
committee. and their general express
sion was that they were surprised be-
yond measure at the splendid valley
and the Importance of this city as a
commercial point. Many of the
members of the committee were fair
ly familiar with conditions here and
promised so far as they We're con
cerned that they would be happy to
do all they could to further the pro-
ject of the building of a vast canal
to reclaim the arid lands of this
wonderful valley.
The general expression of the cit
liens who We're present at the ban
quet and who drove with the mem
bers of the party through the city
and surrounding country is that the
value of having that committee visit
Grand Junction was inestimable, and
that had the cost been ten times as
much for their entertainment II
would have been money well spent.
The personnel of the party has been
published several times. However.
the party had been augmented at
Denver by Governor Mcdonald, Con
gresham Franklin Il. Brooks, Con
and H. NJ. Hogg from the second
congressional district of this state.
All of the members of Colorado's
delegation in congress We're very
much alive to the importance of the
committees visit TO Grand Junction
and did what they could to impress
upon them the value of the building
of the proposed High Line canal pro-
ject would work wonders in western
Colorado.
The Chamber of Commerce feels
very greatly gratified that they were
able to bring such pressure to bear
upon the committee that 1t at last
consented to come to the Grand val
ley, If even but for a short time. The
value to us cannot be estimated at
any money value, as the impressions
gained may serve us greatly in the
future.
