pended rules was expected
Senator Ward, of Cleveland opened
the assault on two grounds, that it
was disrespectful to the family OF
the presiden, whom all respected and
a joke in bad taste and thatlthe hub
bub over the wedding sayored too
much of the ''royal family" idea.
Senator Harper, of Cincinnati, thought
there woulG be more disrespect in
failing to pass the resolution and the
senators regardless of party, prompt
ly took sides.

rules with view to tabling the reso-
luton. Some senators who wished it
passed. voted for the motion but 1t

tion special order for next Tuesday
and there were cries of :" a year from
next Tuesday" ''three years from
next Tuesday" when further display
was cut short by a successful motion
to adjourn. The resolution comes up
in regular order tomorrow.
The popular distrust of political ma
chimes was voiced in the defeat by
the senate of a bill to allow county
auditors to appoint assessors for quad
rennial assessment to replace decen-
nial assessments.

A Mccall, former president OF the

DOLAN FURIOUS
Calls President MitcheIl's Answer a
Barefaced Lie.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. Is. - Presi-
dent Patrick Dolan, of District No. g.
United Mine Workers, during today S
session of the Pittsburg district mine
workers convention gave up the chair
long enough to go on the floor and
attack National President John Mitch
ell.
President Dolan among other things
said:
Il want to state that John Mitch
ellis answer to my statement is a
bare-faced lie. Did Mitchell write his
letters from England? Did he write
his book? Certainly not, Mitchell
sent national board members into my
district to defeat me and that caused
all the trouble. l will go before the
miners of the Pittsburg district and
seek vindication. Today we find John
Mitchell, our international president
in conference with the anthracite op-
orators. No matter what the opera
tors are willing to pay. Mitchell has
no power to enter into an agreement
with them"
President Dolan spoke nearly an
hour and was very bitter against
Mitchell and the parties who are op-
posed to him.
During his address he was contin-
ually interrupted and called ''liar, "
and traitor" but paid ne~heed to
his opponents.
During the day a resolution was
adopted providing for new election
of officers on March 13, and for the
impeachment and removal from Office
of President Dolan before that time.

II is greatly 10 be regretted that
the people of Palisade did not take
more interest in the proposed visit OF
the Immigration Bureau excursion
lists. than they did Prosperity some
times becomes the most dangerous
period in the existence of an individ-
ual or a community. Ii is a danger
point, more to be avoided than per
iod of depression. We are afraid
that our people up the river who
have been so wonderfully blessed in
bonntiful crops and in the sale of
their lands have become Indifferent.
All this might change some day and
they would then be only too anxious
to avail themselves of coming under
the eye of such very important bod
les. as the the one that was entertain
ed in this city. under the name of the
Immigration Bureau of the Missouri
Pacific system. We have seen com
munities just as prosperous. every
every whit as our town of Palisade
suffer through indifference. brought
about by a plethoric pocketbook. No
opportunity should ever be overlook
ed of attracting attention and capital
to your section.
The daily sentinel., 1906-06-20

Grand Junction never has attem-
pied to dictate in any manner to any
town or city or section of western
Colorado. in any thing that such
towns or sections might propose to
do. In the first place 1t had no right
whatever to Interfere and further
more 1t had all 1t could do to at
tend to its own business. But this
city believes it has grievance in
permitting the name Grand Valley
to stand for the old town of Para
chute. The name is entirely mis-
leading. For many years this sec
tion das been advertised as the Grand
Valley, that is that portion of 1t from
the mouth of the canon near Pali-
sade, west for fifty miles. But in hav-
ing the name of Parachute changed
to Grand Valley, thousands of peo-
pie can be deceived. The town OF
Grand Valley is a hamlet. The land
surrounding 1t is only narrow strip
and does not represent the Grand
Valley properly. The name was un-
questionably taken to attract atten-
ton to a section which hoped to build
itself up, on the reputation that had
been gained in many years. by the
real Grand Valley. So If some may
think that IL Is an unwarranted inter
ference upon the part of the people
of this city and valley to have made
a protest to the government, they can
