There is a constant outcry going
up over the impossibility of obtain
ing information OF arrivay an depar-
ture of trains in this city. The annoy
noyance is almost unbearable. The
distance to the Union station is con-
siderable and an expectant trveler
and those awaiting the arrival of
friends, can obtain little satisfaction
upon the time of train arrivals. We
have time and time again suggest
ed that the up town ticket office be
provided with train board, upon
which should be posted each day the
arrival of trains. From what arises
this ignorance of the correct move
ment of trains we cannot fathom.
There should be a correction made in
conditions in this matter at once and
we believe that if the matter was
properly lid before the officials, the
public would be able to ascertain at
once the correct arrival of trains.

OUT OF THE DEPTHS.

The fair of the Mesa County Fruit
Fair association is a thing of the past
for the year of 1906. From the very
start to the finish it has been an un-
qualified success. It's programs of
events from the first day to the last
to the immnese crowds that have at
tended and the financial results are
more than gratifying to the board OF
directors of the association.
When the present board, elected
with the sole purpose in view or rev.
ivifying the fair, and pulling it out of
fgs chaotic condition tackled the
problem, it looked almost like a for
lorn hope, but with the receipts of
the present successful fair it is antici-
pated that the running expenses for
the past year and floating indebted
ness of the former years will be wip-
ed out leaving the fair in a splendid
financial condition.
Unquestionably there is much cred
it due the board of directors for their
faithful work. They entered upon
their duties with the sole purpose of
Strengthening out the financial kinks
of the association and the public
generally will grant that they have
succeeded well in their undertaking.
With the impetus that the present
success will give the association,
there need be no fear of the future
outlook for the fair of Mesa county.
