UNDESERvfD ISLANDER

Grand Junction is raising great
howl and has filed protest with the
postal authorities at Washington
against the use of the name CT Grand
Valley" by the erstwhile town of
Parachute In their bitterness the
Junction newspapers deny the right
of any section to use the name Grand
Valley save that portion of the Grand
river which is west of Palisade and in
TRADE against the Valleyites accuses
them of laxity in aiming, of not
spraying their fruit trees and init
mates that the only place respecta BILE
fruit can be grown is within spall
radius with Grand Junction as a cen
ter. Such jealous tactics are alto
gether beneath the dignity Of such
splendid town as Grand Junction and
the Sentinel statements in this contro
versy are not borne out by the facts.
Personally the writer has never been
partial to the name "Grand Valley"
1t is too indefinite. It is name that
would apply with almost equal ap-
propriateness to any town from New
Castle to the state line There would
be about as much reason for calling
San Francisco "Paci6c Ocean," put
the residents of the little town at the
mouth of Parachute creek selected this
name and it's their funeral and not
ours, and if it suits them we have
no objection to it and do not see why
the Junctionites should have.
So far as the fruit question is con
cerned, the country Immediately trib-
utary to the town of Grand Valley
produces some of the choicest fruit
grown in Colorado and for the Sentl-
mel to say that the Grand Valleyites
do not spray or properly care for their
trees or that their fruit is inferior is
a Islander that will gain nothing for
them in the argument. The people of
Grand Valley are frugal, painstak-
ing and Industrious and are doing
their full share to develop the fruit
growing and other industries of this
country and they can give their town
most any old name they want to and
we'll protect them in the right tc
do so.

A GLANCE AT the totals of the
great appropriations made by this
congress shows that we have grown to
be a billion and "a half dollar country
that Is, it takes about a billion and
half every two years for all the ex-
penses of the government. When
Speaker Reed was reprosched in the
fifty first congress with the fact that
the appropriations were going to run
a billion dollars for the first time in
the the history of the United States,
he only said 'Well. this is billion
dollar country" That was about
sixteen years ago. The country has
grown a lot in sixteen years, and nat :
urally 1t takes lot more money tc
run 1t.

THE VARIOUS disgraceful devel
opments which have followed the re
cent Denver municipal election have
disguised the residents of the state
with the way they do things at the
capital city but perhaps the worst of
all was the squabble last Wednesday
between Greeley W. Whitford, as
sistant district attorney and Judge
Mullins, district judge. who occupied
the bench at the time. The Post re-
CARDS Mullins as demagogue and
trimmer pure and simple, but he is
di strict judge and was entitled to re-
spect as such, and il Whitford's con-
duct has been correctly reported he
richly deserved the Jail sentence
which he received. The efforts of
Mullins and johnson to deprive Dis.
trict Attorney Stidger and Sheriff Mis-
bett of their offices meet with no SYM
pathy from this paper but such con-
duct. reprehensible as it is, by no

gentlemanly and undignifed conduct
with which he has been credited.

latter part of the irrigating season.
Mr.. Newton was quick to observe the
necessity for storing the flood waters
of the early season but as reservoirs are
expensive and the people slow in their
construction he adopted another meth
cd of storing water which has proved
very satisfactory he runs the water
out of the little mountain streams and
over rocky and gravelly surfaces
sinking it in the ground to have it
thirty days afterwards finding its way
out by springs and seepage several
miles below and thus feeding the
main stream. The method has been
pretty thoroughly tested this year and
Mr.. Newton reports it complete sue
cess in the way of supplementing the
late flow of the streams. The Post
will be glad to hear of the experience

1T WILL BE observed that the
recent cutlery against the corporations
taking hand in politics is made
principally by the very people who
forced the corporations to enter poll
tics in order to protect themselves.
The man whose signature headed a
recent round robin letter in the in
terest of democracy is the one man
above all others who forced the Den :
yer Tramway company into politics.
The Post does not and never has be-
lieved that the great business corpor-
atoms should enter to any great extent
into politics but it must not be for
gotten that self preservation is the
first law of nature, and when the life
and prosperity Of business firm or
corporation is asssiled it is but nat
ural for that firm or corporation to
fight Conditions have been studi-
ously brought about which absolutely
forced the corporations into politi CO
and now the fellows most responsib BILE
