There is nothing which can make a home more attractive than beautiful surroundings. There is no place that should be so carefully regarded as home, and even a we'll kept lawn will add much value and improve the prop erty materially. When it is considered that it is possible by the expenditure of small amount for grass, shrubs, plants and flowers with little diScre- tiOn and odd time that can be devoted to the work to make property decid- edly more valuable it is strange that so few people do not make the most of their resources. But there are thouS- ands who make an effort in this direc- tiOn, and they who choose wisely are they who take abundant time to the selection of seeds, plants and shrubs, and who purchase not only what is novel, but what has the merit of abun- dant growth and profuse blooming.
 Much valuable information can be Se- cured by those who wish it from the handsome 100 page catalogue issued by Elbridge E. Wheeler, Seedsman, Main and Elm streets, Bridgeport, which gives detail which is well worth con- sulting, quotes prices, and tells what is best suited to various conditions. This book is free to all users of seeds, and can be obtained by postal request or by calling. Now is the time to con- sider the appearance of the home dur ing the next spring, summer and au- tumn. It costs you nothing to learn.

THE BOYS LONG WALK.
Members of the Railroad Surveying
Corps in Town Today-Others
Enjoying an Eighty-NIile
Wall<-Progress of
the Survey.

Yesterday Chief --s,snesinoos-r Sam q.
Porter of the corps of engineers maxi
ing the survey of the Colorado &
Southwestern railroad, arrived in the
city accompanied by ]. c. Rose of
this city, George Castle, d. Atchie,
Messrs. Swanand Offinger, members
of the surveying party.
Mr.. Rose stated this morning that
for some time past the party has been
camping on the Dolores river about
fifteen miles from Plaoerville and
having completed the work up to
that point found ii necessary to
change the camp to Placerville. How
ever it was found that it would be
impossible to get the wagons and sup
plies through the narrows between
the camp on the Dolores and Placer
Vile consequently it was necessary to
double back to Whitewater. ship the
supplies and outfit to Norwood and
go from that point to Placerville.
Six of the boys, including Mark
Bunting and Dwight Newton, of this
city. decided to walk overland from
the camp on the Dolores to Hydrau-
lie a point tbout fifteen miles from
camp. Here they were to rejoin the
wagons and the remainder of the
party. These plans did not work out
Suttt9SlullN AlltT lne wagon IN
charge of Engineer Porter left camp
they found they could not get the
wagon down to Hydraulic so Mr..
Porter, who was on horseback left
orders at Hydraulic for the BOYS to
walk on to Bedrock fifteen miles
further on and there join the wagon,
but again 1t was found that the wa
gon could not get to Bedrock and at
that Point Mr.. Porter left orders for
the boys to march on to Norwood
some fifty miles away. The wagon
then came on down to Whitewater.
getting there Saturday night.
The boys will probably make their
long walk by easy stages and will
hardly arrive at Norwood for several
days yet. They had no supplies or
bedding, not even their coats and
had to carry heavy surveying instru-
ments. However, there are scatter
ing ranches along the route at which
the boys will be able to get food and
shelter If the weather is bad. Their
walk will be about eighty miles in
length over rough country and it Is
hardly possible that they will enjoy
IT very much.
Mr.. Rose states that the weather
has been terribly hot on the Dolores.
During the past week very little prog
ress has been made and the men were
waiting on supplies. In order to get
from the site of the old camp on the
Dolores to Placerville about is miles
away on a direct line, the party with
the wagon and supplies has been
forced to make a trip If about 120
miles.
The members of the party who are
in the city will leave in the morning
for Norwood, excepting Mr.. Ofinger
who severed his connection with the
party and left yesterday for his home
in the east.

THE BALL GAME.
New Local Team and Rural Rubes
Put up Good Contest-The
Rubes Win ON score of

a small crowd braved the heat of
yesterday and went to the fair
grounds to see the recently organic
ed ball team of this city cross bats
with the Rural Rubes. They were
well paid for their trouble. for they
saw very interesting game that re-
suited in the close score of I to in
favor of the Rubes.
The game was full of interesting
plays and fast bits of fielding. Two
rapid double plays were executed
by the Grand Junction boys during
the first innings that brought the
fans to their feet. One of these dou-
bles was started by Kerstetter at
third base and the other by McI<in-
ME at short.
Hoodenpile was in the box for the
locals with Dittman on the receiving
end, and Wiler and L. Else acted in
the same capacity for the Rubes. The
country boys connected safely thir-
teen times with the delivery of Hod-
denpile, while the home team man
aged only to reach irsBt seven times
on safe hits off Wiler. The latter
forced nine of his opponents to hop
lessly hit the wind and Hoddenpile
struck out four.
The features of the game were the
excellent fielding OF Mckinney who
accepted ten chances without an err
ror and the running catches of Good
man. Kennedy and G, Shriver.
This was the first game the local
boys have played this season, and
with only two or three nights prac-
tice, they did exceedingly well. They
undoubtedly have the neucleus for
a good team, the infield being espec-
tally strong. and by little encourag-
ment from the local fans in the way
of attendance will. with a little more
practice, put up gilt-edged article
of the national game.
The story of the game is better

MOUNTAIN WATER NEEDED.
IL is Needed Quickly and Badly by
the Fact that the Gunnison
Tunnel Will Seriously Ef-
feet Our Present
SunnlY

No reasonable man will deny that
Grand Junction needs ntountain
water system or at least a change OF
water supply and very few reason.
able men will contend that we do not
need mountain water supply.
Right at this time when the ques-
tion.- Grand Junction have a
mountain water system?. is up for
the consideration of the people, one
Tact that argues for a new source of
/ water supply should be considered
along with many others.
Grand Junction now gets water
from the Gunnison river. The water
as a general thing. is of a very fair
quality, but If Grand Junction must
continue to take her water from the
Gunnison river for a number of years
TO come the day will soon be here
when the quality of water in the
Gunnison will be exceedingly poor.

The great Gunnison tunnel is half

length has been driven. The task is
half done as the tunnel is to be a lit

time consumed in driving the 80.
OoO feet was about two years. so
that it can be expected that the water
will be running in the great canal in
another two years. This water is to
come from the Gunnison river. Men
who know, men who have investigat-
ed. declare that the water this tun-
mel Will take consists mainly of that
water which comes from the purer
and more wholesome tributaries of
the river. in fact the best water that
is now flowing in the Gunnison and
from which our supply is drawn.
If this is the true state of affairs
isn't it about time Grand Junction
was preparing for another water sup
ply? And If this is so hasn't the city |
a comparatively short time to secure |
another system in order that Grand |
junction may not suffer for either a /
short or long period for supply of
good water?
Then with the knowledge that
everything is being done by a CON
city council to furnish the
city with first class mountain water
system with an adequate supply of
pure mountain water, should there 1
be any opposition to the mountain
water proposition that will be put up
10 the citizenship for its approval on
Wednesday, August 1st?
