Knowing that anything relating to
of interest to our readers the fol
lowing items dealing directly or in
directly with the immense fruit har-
vest now in progress in the country,
are reproduced from Saturdays is
sue of the Palisade Tribune:
From present indications there is
going to be plenty of employment for
carpenters in the vicinity of Palisade
for some time to come. Besides the
erection of the Secor residence. notice
of which is elsewhere in this i'm
preston, H. c. Crissey is preparing
to begin the construction of a two
story eight room cottage, 30x34,
which will likely cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 when finished. J.
H. Sayles also announces that he in
tends putting up a nice residence
at his present location and move the
old house down on second Street near
the electric light plant. John Pear
son will build on his place across the
river and Phillip Scheve will con-
struct a residence at his ranch one
mile west of town, costing probably
between 81 900 and $4,000. Emmett
Wilson is also making active prepare
lions to commence erecting a resi-
dence costing something like $4,000
upon the three acres that he reserved
FROM the sale he made some time ago.
About ten days ago the contract
was let for the erection of the mag
nificent new $4,000 frame church
edifice of the Methodist church at
Clifton which is to have a seating
capacity or 315 people The main
auditorium will have an inclined floor
and circular pews, accommodating
PIG people. The lecture room will
comfortably seat 65. 1t has not yet
been decided as to whether an ban
quet room and kitchen will be pro-
vided for in the basement of the new
church. This edifice will be a SPLEEN
did monument to the untiring efforts
of Rev. ]. o. Vermillion of Palisade,
as the elimination of the project is
practically solely due to his undaunt-
ed perseverance. The members have
responded nobly and the good work
is now about to begin
1t is now settled fact that Pail
SADIE is to have a new depot-one that
will meet the requirements of the
travelling public as well as the i'm
mense fruit shipments that have long
since made this the best paying sta
ton on the joint track east of Grand
Junction. The Tribune is especially
authorized right from headquarters"
to announce that a contract has been
let to an outside party and that ac-
tual construction will be commenced
not later than the tenth of this
month. AS stated exclusively in this
paper last week the structure will be
a magnificent one of white pressed

the finest specimens that have ever

made Palisade famous, some of the
biggest. finest red apples that we
have ever fastened our gaze upon

pie Damascus grapes Weighing six
