j. NJ. Sampliner received today
from a well known former citizen of
this city, Gates Kersberg, a very
handsome remembrance in the shape
of hand-carved work in wood repre-
senting stems, vases, water pitchers,
etc. The work was done by the One
ida Indians near Niagara Falls, and
the artistic designs of the pieces are
handsome. Mr.. Sampliner greatly
appreciates his gift from his old
friend.
John F. Pfeiner. who made a
pleasant visit to old-time friends in
this city yesterday, left this morning
over the narrow gauge for Paonia
Hotchkiss and Delta. Mr.. Pfeiffer is
taking a little tour of investigation
regarding the possible fruit shipments
for this year. He is greatly pleased
to find that we shall have a much
larger tonnage of all kinds of fruit
than it was thought possible several
months ago. Mr.. Pfeiner is making
these estimates for interested parties
in Denver.

the Hamilton family in this city, up
on seeing a copy of the commence
ment number of the High School

pose of consulting with the Chamber

Only a fair-sized crowd gathered
at the Methodist church last night to
hear Chancellor Henry NJ. Buchtel
of Denver deliver his lecture on
Roosevelt The chancellor, in his
pleasing manner, told many stories
about the life of our president, many
amusing incidents as well as events
in his career which best illustrated
his peerless character and indomita-
BILE will. Mr.. Buchtel's lecture was
exceedingly interesting, and his aud
fence was very attentive to every
word spoken. Chancellor Buchtel
never fails to hold the closest atten-
tion of a Grand Junction audience.
and his visits in this city are al
ways a pleasure to his hosts OF
friends.
The carnival company which
played here last week has gone away
and this morning the only part of it
left here was the big Russian bear
which they left chained to a stake in
the middle of the lot opposite the
Episcopal church. Several citizens
have spoken TO the writer concerning
the bear and a good many seem to
think the company has left him with
no one to look after him or feed
him This is hardly possible, since
Russian bear is too valuable an
animal for any one or any company

more than likely that the bear Will
be shipped to Glenwood Springs to-
night If the bear should remain
with no claimant, II will be fed by
the people OF that neighborhood.

terday from Salida, where they re-
Gently conducted the Salida Tribune
a daily paper established by them
selves The young men state that
Salida is in no sense n daily news
paper town that it possesses none of
the elements of such, and they soon
found that they would be conducting
their business at loss to remain
there. Both young men are hustlers
and competent newspaper people, and
they worked very hard indeed to
make their paper a success and en-
gender the support of the merchants
of Salida. They have, since the dis
continuance OF the publication of
their paper, packed all their ma
chinery and effects ready for ship
ment, and are now hunting a new
location. Their machinery included /
a fine new MerEeuthaler linotype |
and a thoroughly modern equipment |
They left last night for the north |
