AN OUTRAGEOUS SITUATION.

Charles A. Bloomfield is certainly
a wonderful man. His opinions and
and wishes have more weight
with the government at Washing
ton, it would seem, than the almost
united opinion of the people of Mid
dlesex county. According to latest
reports the hearing in New York.
when both sides were represented
and had their say. amounts 10 moth
ing. Bloomfield has gone to Wash
ington and with only his side of the
story heard, without giving the peo-
pie of the county a chance TO talk,
the officials have allowed this one
man to have all plans changed to
suit him. This is worse than I'M
fair. 1t is a low down trick without
the least showing of Justice anv.
where. Talk about bosses in a coun-
ty, this man Bloomfield evidently
owns the county. At least he seems
to think he does and the officials at
Washington evidently take him at his
own estimation.
Has it come TO where the people
must first ask Mr.. Bloomfield wha.
he wants before they dare rogue t
anything? 1t is to be hoped not, but
it begins to look that way. Suppos-
ing such a thing is necessary, let us
ask. what does Mr.. Bloomfield want?
He seems to demand that The county
build steel spans in the Amboy
bridge az once, and yet he dabbles
in the state legislature and uses his
influence, which seems TO be all
powerful, to have held up the bill
which gives the f~reeholders permits
sion 10 raise the money necessary
TO do the work.
What can be the meaning Of such
action. 1t looks like a clear attempt
to embarrass the county, prevent
the bridge from being used and
cause the taxpayers to lose what lit
Atle they have to show for the emo
lous amount spent. 1t is an outra-
eous condition of affairs. Seldom
bs one-man power been felt as this
han Bloomfield is making his will
the law OF this county.
1t is time for the people to as
sert their rights. The city Of Perth
Amboy should send an official com
munication to Washington letting it
be known that Mr., Bloomfield is not
all MiddleseX county. South Amboy
borough council should send a aimf.
lar communication. The Board Of
F%reeholders should do something

The New Delirium

By Rev. Dr. {. II. PARKHURST Of New York
EM@HE pace that kills comes from doing things in a small way,
q not havnga SPLENDID PURPOSE in view. 1t 81 part
w. of the new delrium that we have come to know as strenu-
business.
Hurry is a species of infdeIty. We SCI all about us maniacal
creatures of the sort who have not yet been corraled in an asylum.
They are really volcanic eruptons of human SELF SEEKING and
greed.
There is a species of moral lmacy abroad, and people who think
they are intense, BUT ARE REALLY HYSTERICAI, are burn
ing themselves up before they are properly candidates for a crematory.
KILLING ONESELF BY INCHES BY SUCH A PROCESS is
JUST AS MUCH SUICIDE AS 1T is TO DRAW A RAZOR THROUGH
THE JuGuLAR VEIN.

When compared with towns and
small cities of the west and south

rltories towns or cities of an equal
or larger size. Grand Junction will In
almost every instance make a most
creditable showing.
Towns that are as old again and
double the size do not have the met
ropolitan appearance, or the whole

ton numbers among its most valua-
he characteristics.
One does not have TO travel very
long before IL is realized that Grand
Junction is one of the prettiest and
most modern of the smaller cities of
the west and the southwest. Cities in
population equal to 1900, 1000
and 10000 and who make claims to
the effect that they are the centers of
agricultural, mining or stock rails
ing sections that are as rich or rich
er in resources than the Grand Val
ley, fail to display the spirit of enter
prise. the modern ideas, the met
ropolitan conditions that mark Grand
Junction, the capital of the Little
Empire of the Western Slope" as
one of the coming and important
business and residence centers of the
entire west.

HosKINs, MEN ARRESTED.
Whole Family Arrested Last NIght
While moving onto the Ranch.

The arrest of the whole Paxton
family composed of three men, one
woman and two children who drove
from Palisade last night with their
wagon loaded with furniture TO take
possession of the Hoskins ranch in
the interests of o. w. Hoskins him
self. is the latest development of the
Hoskins-DeLong case.
The Paxton family came from Pali-
SADIE last night and arrived at the
ranch about seven thirty expecting to
take possession for o. w. Hosklns.
They got as far as the door of the
house but were denied admittance by
the present Tenant, of the house
Draper Lee. who warned them that
he intended to hew straight lto the
line, and that any encroachments
would be resisted to the best of his
ability. Unable to get into the house
the Hosltins' representatives moved
their goods into the packing house
near the residence which was emp
ty and unlocked.
They were busy establishing their
headquarters in the packing house,
when about ten o'clock Sheriff Stru-
theirs drove up in a wagon with war
rant for their arrest and they were
driven to town where they were met
at the police court by Hoskins and
his attorneys and after furnishing
bond returned Immediately to their
household goods on the ranch.
They have now established head
quarters in the packing house and ac-
cording to instruction, it is said, will
proceed to cultivate the farm for
Mr.. Hoskins regardless of the pres
ence of the Draper Lee family who
are encamped in the house, repres-
enting the belong and Bonita Val
ley land company side of the case.

evidence of weakness was quickly
overcome, giving domestic prices

holders are stubbornly insisting on
full quotations. In Boston business
in wool is good, and the demand
has been fairly active from most
kinds of consumers. Worsted woods
are, however, the best sellers, and
considerable quantities of medium
grades in both territory and flecees
have changed hands at full prices.

ate quantities and sample lots. The

BUT ONE KICK
ON ASSESSMENT
County Commissioners Sci
Two Days as Board of
Equalization With
Little to do.

The county commissioners met
Monday and Tuesday as a board of
equalization. But one request was
received for reduction of taxation.
Z. M. Clark, cashier of the Glenn's
Ferry bank, asked that the assess
ment on the stock of that institu-
tion be reduced from $50 to $40 a
share, which request was granted.
On account of a'double assessment
of his property at Glenn's Ferry in
1904, a warrant was ordered issued
to Joe Keller, for $20.33, the ex-
cess paid that year.
The assessment of Paul Walker S
reservoir and irrigation canals on
King Hill creek, were ordered
doubled, for the reason that they
were not assessed at all in 1905.
The county attorneys salary was
fixed at 5000 year. At present it
is $500.
The boundaries of Road District
No. / were defined. The auditor
was instructed to advertise for bids
for work in this district and to re-
advertise for bids on work in No. T..

In December, 1904, she was

found for her and her sentence was
suspended. Recently word came
from Mountain Home, where the

untruthful and otherwise unruly
that nothing could be done with
her. 1t was said she insisted OF

returning home until morning.
