wood Tuesday evening. With jim
Barnes he will soon return to the gold
fields of Nevada. - Meeker Review.
W. II. Becraft has already shipped
4, 100 boxes of peaches from four acres.
The trees are not all in full bearing.
That output at 10 cents box net
means little over SO. 600, or $3.50 an
acre. And still in spite of dozens of
instances like this some people think
land is too high here -Palisade

People come from all over the
western part of the United States to
fish in the Gunnison and the tourist
travel is worth fully $50, 900 year to
Gunnison county alone, and yet there
are few disgruntled ranchmen along
the river that have fit every time
they see bunch of trout shipped out
of the county. Delta Laborer.
1t seems as though it is not safe to
leave ones cellar unlocked few
hours. One party by doing so was
minus two slabs of bacon, and another
lost the apples from two crab trees.
1t is a pity the offenders could not
busy themselves at honest labor
during the day and leave peoples Gel
lars and orchards alone at night. -

The town is at work riprapping the
east bank of Elk creek, at the scene
of last springs food. Those who
want to work their water tax now
have an opportunity to do 50. 1t is
intended to see if the county commits
sioners won't stand for the expense of
fixing the west bank, as it is out of
the town limits. New Castle Non

We may be abnormally stupid. but
we can't understand for the life of us
what difference it makes to railroad
having contracted to carry preson to
a certain place and back again, who
rides on the ticket it has sold and
collected the money for. 1t costs no
more to carry one person than another
and having taken the money the road
should make good. Telluride Journal.

The daily state papers have been
regaling their readers the past few
days with stories concerning girl
horse thief who is alleged to have
eloped with cowboy from this place.
The bad bold girl is now in Jail at
Vernal. AS the names given differ
and are probably only aliases it is
impossible to ascertain whether the
parties have really been in Rifle or
not, but it is safe to state that the
stories are largely the vaporings of
