---Great Increase in Live Stock---hany
New Facts of the Years Growth.

Some new. interesting and highly
satisfactory facts regarding the uu-
bounded prosperity and growth the
city and county has enjoyed during
the year that is just closing are shown
in a report just completed by Secre-
| tary Aupperle, of the Chamber of
Commerce. on request of the Colorado
Board of Statistics that makes annual
reports of the commercial growth and
developments of the various sections
of Colorado.
Mr.. Aupperle has been busy for
several days gathering this informa
tion as to the size and value of the
crop. the bank deposits and many
other commercial interests of Grand
Junction and Mesa county.
Surely no better proof than these
facts is needed to show that the year
of 1906 has been the greatest, the
best and the most prosperous in the
history of Grand Junction and the
Grand valley.
The estimated population of Mesa
county Mt this time is 10000.
The population of Grand Junction
at this time is S,S20. The population
of Grand Junction in 1900 was $500
There are seven banks in Mesa
county, three of which are in this city.
The total deposits in these seven
banks is given at 81 100000. OF this
amount IL Is estimated that S1,f5O,-
900 is on deposit in the Grand juno
tion banks. The increase in the to-
tai dcpc'3its of the Grand Junction
banks over last year is estimated at
$780, 900.
The total fruit shipments from the
county this season will be about 2
800 full cars. This does not repre-
sent the total crop of the county as
the amount of fruit locally consumed
is not considered.
The total value of the fruit ship
ments from the county for the year of
10O6 is given at, S1,3OO,O0O.
Total numbers of cars of apples
shipped this year, 1,O50.
Total number of care of peaches
shipped this year, 300.
Total number of cars pears and
small fruit, $50.
Total car shipments, 2,3OO.

The total fruit shipments last year
from the county amounted to 1899
cars and were valued at 1854 ,507.

cars were shipped ont this year than
last and the growers will receive
about one haIf-million dollars more
