Juntion forget that it was in this city
that the first spgar factory of the state
was built and placed in operation?
How many men can recall the strug-
giles of those who undertook to Sc

first plant in Colorado The Sentinel
with pardonable pride can refer to
its connection with the scheme TO
secure such factory built here. But
what surprise there must be to those
who looked with coldness. and even
backeapped the proposition. when
they read that this states sugar crop
will be worth s14.OOO,OOO. Is there
not compensation in reviewing that
vast sum. for all the work that it
took to establish the first sugar fac
tory here in Grand Junction and
from which each and every one of
the present factories in the state are
the outgrowth. 1t pays to boost. it
pays to never grow weary in doing
for your city and county. One never
knows what may be the outcome of
fostering some such proposition. The
fact that there was established the

congratulation TO all. those who were

WEALTH vs.. HAPPINESS


Do You want consolation for not
havings lots of money. Let US pro-
vide you with some. The morning
dispatches give an account of the sui
eide OF Herbert Valentine. lawyer.
clubman and scientist. He shot him
self TO death in his rooms at the st.
Andrew hotel IN New Torh Friday.
a friend commenting on his death
gave the following reasons for Val
entine ending his life:
He did not love the piling up of
living.
"He did not love of piling up
money.
"He had nothing to do but cut off
coupons"
This man Vanentine had toured
the world. he had exhausted every
means of pleasure that money could
purchase and then concluded that the
world had nothing to attract him
and that death was preferable
For ourselves we do not under
stand the conditions under which this
man labored. We do not feel our
selves even equal to the task of maxi
ing any criticism upon his act We do
offer the fact of his having committed
suicide to our readers mainly to prove
that happiness cannot be the result
or come from wealth alone. In all
the great fields of labor in the world
we feel that there should have been
something which vanentine could
have done There must have been
unexplored fields of philanthropy
which might have contributed to his
happiness We feel sorry that man
with such vast monetary resources, a
scientist learned in art and with
wealth to command almost anything
and everything which would have
made it possible for him to achieve
greatness, should have found nothing
in the world to make him happy.
lie said he was lonely" Where
was the wife he should have been
caring for. the children that should
have surrounded him and in whose
education and rearing he should
have found that life interest he lack
ed.
Truly the world grows stranger
every day He was not content,
that sounded the key note of his
death.

WHEN TO BEGIN

Now that the hurry and hustle in
cident to the registration period and
the annual fair is over, the people of
Grand Junction must confront a
problem, which will not await a more
convenient time. The problem is the
furnishing of better supply of water
to this city. When the present plant
was installed and the city undertook
to furnish its own supply OF water.
it had been hoped that at least for
a number of years more than have
already elapsed, the problem of Il
water supply had been solved. But
new contingencies have arisen which
uecessitates that action Immediately
should he taken looking toward a
permanent and better water supply.
The present manner of supplying
the city with water is costly and
cumbersome. But it is not these
drawbacks which viii neeessitate the
city in providing different supply,
1t Is well known that the waters of
the Gunnison river already are pol
luted by the seepage and the water
that returns 10 the river from irriga-
tion of the lands along its banks.
With the finishing of the great Gun
nison tunnel project and the vast
amount of water necessitated for the
scheme 1t will be problematioal the
amount Of water during the dry sea-
son which win be available for the
use OF this city.
The question then presents itself
how long can we afford to wait to de
termine the necessity of another sys-
tenn of water supply We believe
that we are even now slow in nsti-
tuting that work looking toward pro-
vidinE more adequate water supply.
should we procrastinate and find our
selves AT the end of the year without
practically any water supply, We
should feel very badly indeed.
1t is not merely matter in which
he corporate authorizes Of the city
ire Interested, every citizen. every
property owner must make this mat
er an individual one and urge upon
he constituted authorities immed-
ate. il not very early action.
What the supply win he that can
be secured is not the matter for con
sideration The real issue is to de
termine the necessity of securing one.
before the matter goes too long We
believe that the citizens feel that
there is necessity for some action at
once and the matter must not he de-
layed. as It is dangerous.
