When he was seventeen he thought
The girl that he would make his wife
Must be Il belle--all else was naught-
For without beauty what is life?
At twenty-five his fancy turned
To brains and comeliness combined;
He wished a woman wise and learned
For what is life when minus mind?
But when ha reached ripe thirty-two,
In state of wrecked financial health,
He thought an heiress he would WOO
For life is lifeless without wealth.
At forty-tw his fortitude
Was rocky and his heart was stone;
But then al fast he understood
Man was not meant to live alone.
He chose not beauty. brains or wealth,
AS life had taught him where to look
For happiness and hardy health
He wisely wed n buXom cook.

\ GROWING NECESSITY.


The construction of the electric
street railway and electric line
through the county is matter which
is beginning to attract more attcn-
ton than when first proposed, be
cause of the growing necessity for the
construction Of same.
When first proposed it was looked
upon more as a dream than an actu-
ality to be accomplished. Now it is
being looked at in a far different
manner. The beet tonnage alone last
year would have provided a good
revenue for such railway.
To secure transportation which
will accommodate large territory
along the Arkansas river, local cap
ital has begun the construction of
steam railway, in the Arkansas val
ley 1t would seem that sufficient
traffic to support an electric lire
would he readily secured in this
county.
No one seems to fully conceive the
Importance to this city of the con-
struction of an electric line through
ont this valley and into the Plateau
| country. The wealth that such a line
would bring into this city cannot be
readily computed. but we believe that
the construction of the proposed cleo
trio line throughout this valley, is
really the most important project
now under way
We acknowledge to have given the
matter less consideration than its
due, in the press of other matter for
the public veal, but we believe that
an electric line running to the various
sections of Mesa county will center
large proportion of the trade of the
county in this city. In the past few
years much trade has been cut off
from this city. by the growth of other
communities, having their own large
commercial establishments.
While 1t will be contended that
possibly these concerns Will suffer by
the construction of an electric line,
furnishing easy means of commune
cation and transportation, 1t has been
proven that even these grow pro-
portionately and the loss, if any, is
inconsiderable
We should have the electric line
built throughout this valley during
the year 1906 We need it badly and
1t will improve and enrich ali sec
tons of Mesa county.

1t is said that nearly all the can

In fact the court house contingent.

a Democrat presuming that he can
be elected never enters their heads.
it matters not what the qualifications
of the Democrat may be. There have
been times when men and polite
ians We're badly fooled, when linking
too much Tor granted. There is no
reason whatever why perfectly cap
able Democrat may not be elected to
office in this county. We are hardly
willing to concede that any old sort
OF man can be elected 10 response

the roll call of the predominant
party, We have higher regard for
the intelligence of the people of this
county than to believe that they Will
accept an individual who has no cap
abilities whatever. II is about time
that the voters of this county seek to
secure the best available material for
official position.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Some alarm

We hardly believe that the Cham
Der of Commerce gains much in at
tempting to secure the partial serv-
ice of an individual. as secretary.
To secure effective work the time and
abilities of secretary should be had
exclusively. To combine the duties
of the seoretaryship with some other
line of business in our Judgment is
simply a waste of money. The board
of directors have a large and growing
field of work and the abilities of even
the best man, with all his time, is
not too much for the work that
should be undertaken by an active
secretary. OF course small sum is
saved by combining the secretary
ship with other duties. but. in our
opinion nothing is saved by such a
combination. The Chamber of Com
meree has sufficiently large mem
bership to support the services of a
secretary who will devote all his time
TO the work. Every day the work
is growing and under the old system
of obtaining only the half services
of the secretary, much good cannot
be accomplished.

Although the harvest is very close at

great on account of the pressing daily
requirements to show prices long un-

TAvING been requested to fore
~ cast the quantity and quality OF
the coming olive crop In Spain,
Consul General B. HI. Ridgely
OF Barcelona reports that. according to
the best Information he can secure on
the subject. the crop will be consider
ably below the average, which ac-
counts for the fact that prices are
20 per cent higher than In the month
Of June of the present year.
As to quality the present indications
are good, the fruit Is generally In
healthy state, and unless it natures
badly the crop, though relatively small,
will be of excellent quality. In con-
nection with this subject IL may be
interesting to know that the exporta-
ton of Spanish olives amounted to
1914 tons in 1905, as against 7245 tons
in 1904 and 1892 tons IN 1908.
In onS report received at the BARGE
Iona consulate on the subject Of the
coming crop the following detailed
forecasts are made: In Andalusia, one
third of the usual crop. of good quail
ty; Aragon. one-fourth of the usual
crop and of fine quality: Urgel, full
crop and Of good quality; Tortosa, one
fourth Of the usual crop, Of good quail
ity: Ampurdan, one-half crop and OF
inferior quality; Mallorca. one-third Of
the usual crop and of average quality.
From this forecast II would appear
that only about one-third OF the usual
marketable crop Is to be counted upon
The majority of the forecasts, how
ever, indicate a two-thirds crop.
