Asserting that it is national duty
to train the young in the use of mod

Captain Catlin based his argument on
the fact that the modern rifle is a much
more intricate piece Of mechanism than
were WEI +t the rites les Used forty years ago,
and that If the time ever comes when
it is necessary to arm the young men Of
the land for the country's defense,
much; time. would be wasted in teach
ing the rudiments Of rifle shooting.

CITY ATTORNEY COLES
WILL NOT ENJOIN.

1t is stated on good authority that
City Attorney Coles has announced
that he will carry his active opposi-
tion to the bond issue no further, that
the fight along this line is over as far
as he was concerned, the people hav-
ing with great emphasis indicated that
they want the bonds issued and want
mountain water. Consequently it is
not now expected that Mr.. Coles will
carry out his implied threat to enjoin
the council from selling the bonds.
VIII Mr.. Coles enjoin the city coun
ell?
This question was asked Mr.. o.
Boyle this morning.
"I hardly think So" said Mr.. o.
Boyle, Il don't know who would put
up the money"
The probability that the city at
torney would carry out his threat
and get out an injunction restraining
the city council from issuing the
bonds is being discussed on the
streets today
A great many are inclined to think
that the city attorney has enough
while some are of the opinion that as
''the watch dog of the peoples inter-
ests' he may feel it-a matter of stern
duty to resort to this. his last hope of
defeating the will of the people in
the matter of mountain water.

Alderman O'Boyle struck the key
note this morning when he said that
the people of Grand junction have
always arisen to the occasion in times
of crises and at the parting of the
ways have always chosen the path
which leads to a greater Grand juno
ton.
He does not read Alright the signs
