survey is being made for new road
from Moccasin Gap to connect with the
Southern, ut Rogerville Junction, known
as the Holston Valley Railroad.
Within the past few years the farmers
of Scott county have turned their at
tention more largely to sheep raising.
The sheep being raised are almost ex-
clusively of improved grades. The high
hills and mountains here afford the finest
pasturage for sheep and this is source
of wealth that has hitherto been neg
lected. 1t Is u fact that sheep will live
all winter on Cljnch Mountain even who're
1t has not been cleared and cultivated.
Much of the north side OF the mountain
has in recent years been clearal and
produces luxurant blue grass all the way
to the top.
Sheep delight to Craze on the high
points entirely above the range of cattle.
Thus when the hilltops are cleared and
set in grass a great source OF wealth
will be added to this section. There Is
enough good range for sheep in Scott
county lying idle to produce sufficient
wool to keep large factory running
day and night the year round.

GOV. oUNnnSs' TRIUMPH.

The triumph of Gov. Cummins in
Iowa is a decided victory for the
Iowa idea," which means reforms
and reversals in Republican policies
Gov. Cummins has been something
of a revolutionist in his party. and he
is one of the few men who have had
the temerity to follow his convictions
rather than the crowd. He has been
an uncompromising and active advo-
cate of legislation looking to the
control of railroad freight rates, he
has advocated drastic changes in the
tariff law, and these ideas have
brought him in conflict with the con-
servative element of the party-the
element that has been the consumers
of the official loaves and fishes and in
the enjoyment of which It has been
willing for the country to drift along
with little or no steerage. Cummins
is n positive quality and his vic
tory over the strong opposition in his
party. opposition coming from the
high priests and scribes, shows that
public sentiment even in the Republi-
can party among the common people.
is centralizing for a support of the re
forms advocated by Mr.. Bryan for
these many years. 1t is announced
with a good deal of gusto that there
will be no split in the party in that
state. OF course not, the otfice-hold-
ing element is beginning to set up
and take notice.

MATTER OF SATISFACTION.

As the furry naturally incident to
the election subscribes, and the sober
second thought pervades both the
pros and cons, as well as those who
did not interest themselves enough
to vote. there is a general feeling of
satisfaction over the result, and a
growing belief on all sides that the
city did the wise thing in voting for
the improvement so sorely needed in
our water system. The commenda-
tion from the outside, from people
who look at the matter from an un-
biased standpoint, is flattcring and
well nigh universal. On all hands
the city is the recipient of congratu-
lations. warm and enthusiastic, and
IL is. and should be a source of pride
to our people to know that so many
friends and admirers of the city were
watching with more than ordinary in
terest for the result of that cleo
tion and hoping that the tide would
turn as it did. Throughout Colorado,
1t has long been recognized that
Grand Junction was in possession of
natural conditions that destined her
to become one of the leading cities of
the state and it is a characteristic of
all true Coloradoans to glory in the
achievements of every locality of his
state, especial interest was felt in
TINS eHort 10 reiheuy tne only ueIect
charged up to us, and now that the
inaugural steps for the proper appli-
cation of the remedy have been taken.
1t is pleasant to receive the hearty
approval of our outside friends pleas
ed to know that they appreciate the
real worth of the city. and pleasant to
be able to demonstrate to them
that our citizenship is made up
of the real Colorado article
enterprise and eourage-enterpris

NTING. Editor and Prop.
BRYAN is SINCERE.


Mr.. Bryan gives another demon
stration that he is determined not be
beholden to any influences that are
inimical to the written doctrines of
the Democratic party. He thereby
makes 1t clear that he does not want
honor at the, hands of his party, if
the honor must come from sources
contaminated by motives other than
belief in, and devotion to principles of
the party. The member of the nat
ional Democratic committee from the
state of Illinois is a man of wealth
and influence. two very useful fac
tors, in any kind of a contest these
days, but he is known to stand cheek
by jowl" with some of the great cor
porations of that state, corporations
that are not satisfied with fair advant-
ages and fair methods, but seek to Sc
cure legislation and favors through
political parties. They are not parti-
sans enough to care what party they
serve. If remuneration in the kind of
coin that Is most valuable in their
realm is promised directly or indi-
iectly by party influence. Mr.. Bryan
seeks the removal of this committee
man from his position on the com
mittee. and his effort to have him
rousted is not covert, but open. and
a fight is evidenly precipitated by
Mr.. Bryan among the Democrats of
Illinois. The ordinary politician
would seek to patch and palliate.
rather than raise a row, and, if he
were successful in the end, and hav-
ing used the corporations money to
win his election, he might find him
self embarrassed, if legislation not to
the liking of the corporation, were de
manded by the people at his hand
But Mr.. Bryan is not willing to take
advantage of these forces, nor even
the remote chance having corpora
tion money left over in the national
committee. We confess that Mr..
Bryan seems to be void of versatility
in some particulars, and is wanting in
some phases of modern practical poll
tics, but he is a constant reminder of
the old commonor who said: 81 had
rather be right than president" of
course, these old fellows would be
out of date and out of tune with mod
ern times, but truly, the unsullied
pages they wrote in our history will
be n source of pride and pleasure,
while the Double crosses of the mod
ern and more practical politicians
will be problems for study and con
lecture.

WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SAME

Almost eighty per cent of the en-
tire vote cast Wednesday was-for the
mountain water proposition. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that had all of
the qualified voters in this city gone
to the polls and expressed themselves
the division of the people would have
been practically the same, with eight
of every ten thus standing for noun
tain water, if would certainly be a
piece of monumental cheek for the
opposition. or rather the small per
cent of the opposition, to undertake
to enjoin the council from doing what
the people have commissioned it to
do. The people have spoken and
their wishes in the matter should be
supreme.
