WILL DO THEIR PART TO MAKE
COUNTY FAIR A SUCCESS.

w. r. Haines, Geo. j. d. Williams
and A. N. Bucklin, of the directorate
of the Mesa County fair, are still
speaking in glowing terms of the peo-
pie of the Plateau valley. who are
more interested in the coming county
fair which will be held in September
beginning the 25th than in any other
ious fair celebration ever held in the
county. While on trip through
the Plateau country they were given
much announcement not only by sub
scriptions for stock in the association.
but in the way of assistance in the
exhibits They are working with
concerted effort and through the
Chamber of Commerce of the valley
will bring an exhibit that will open
the eyes of the people of this end of
the county, and it will not be surpris-
ing if they carry off one of the large
sectional premiums.
The plateau portion of Mesa county
has not been represented at the fair
for several years mainly because
of the location of the valley, II being
country to itself, no effort was made
to interest them, but this year they
have been given an opportunity of be-
coming a part of the fair.

NOTHING DOING.
Grand Junction Was One of the Quiet
est Towns in Colorado-Many
Pleasure Excursions Took
People Out of Town.

Fourth of July in Grand Junction
was a pretty tame day. There were
no public celebrations and nothing
out of the ordinary marked the day
save the general closing of business
houses and the explosion of OCCASION
al firecrackers.
Many of the stores and offices were
closed all day while other places of
business kept open until noon. The
national colors were in evidence at
many points along the business
streets and also were displayed from
many private residences.
The roar of fireworks was almost
incessant. There were numerous
pretty private displays last night.
Numerous pleasure excursions to
the hills and fishing streams attract
ed a great number of people from the
city. Others enjoyed the Fourth at
Montrose, Glenwood Springs and
other points along the railroads In
all several hundred Grand Junction
people went out of town to spend
thhe holiday, On the other hand
there were quite a few visitors in
the city in spite of the fact that there
was no public celebration.
The day, SO far as it is known was
by any accident in or near
Grand Junction. The deadly toy
pistol found no vistim here this
year.
The biggest thing doing in the en-
tertainment line was the Elks ball
which was attended by large crowd
last night.
The majority of business men en-
joyed a day of rest at home and were
really glad there were not big do
Ings in town.
1t was indeed a quiet Fourth.

London, Eng, July 5.-Williarf- J
Bryan was the central figure at the
annual Independence day dinner Of
the American society at the Hote
Cecil last night. Nearly 500 mem
bers and guests surrounded the so
ciety's board and cheered patriotic
Bentiments with the peculiar zest
born of exile. Ambassador White
Reid-and Mr.. Bryan engaged in some
sharp but good natured raillery and
banter over political differences. the
crowd evincing its enjoyment of the
sport with cheers and shouts of laugh
ter.
Mr.. Reid in responding to Sir Will
liam Richmond's s graceful proposal
of his health with refernce to Mr..
Bryan said:
"At home. as a citizen, have open
ed and squarely opposed him at every
stage of his conspicuous career.
am reasonably sure that when l re-
turn home I shall continue to do the
same. l believe he tonight is as well
satisfied as l am. though by differ
ent reasoning, that the country we
both love and try to serve has not
been ruined by its gold standard.
"As the official representative of
the American people without distinc-
ton as to party, am glad to welcome
him here as a typical American
whose life has been lived in the day
light and one whom such a great host
of my countrymen have long trust
ed and honored-"
Mr.. Bryan rising, said, amid laugh
er and cheers:
THE temptation to make a polit-
ical speech is strong within me, /
have not had a chance to do for some
ten months. However, / will res
train myself. With reference to
the ambassadors remarks on gold,
wish to say that when / see the prog
ress my country has made walking on
one leg wonder what it would have
done walking on two legs. 1t is pleas
ing to testify that the ambassador
not only has fought me but he has
done it well. No American rejoices
more than | have. $4,000 from his
base. While abroad have met many
good RepubIicans-holdin office
and | only wish there were enough
good Offices abroad to take all Re-
publicans out of the country
The subject of Mr.. Bryan's ad-
dress was 1.-THE White Mans Bur-
dem. 1t was a great address. He de-
clared that a clearer recognition of
the dignity of labor and a closer re-
lationship with God is essential to the
uplift of the masses and the enligh-
tenment of the heather.

Boulder, Colo, July 5.-Three per
sons were dangerously injured and
several others were badly shaken UP
in an accident to special EXCURSION

railroad as a result of several cars
of the train being thrown from the
track at point one mile east of Sun

chasm thereby preventing an acci-
dent horrible to contemplate.

Why Lincoln Was Popular.

Perhaps the most winning quality with
young and old alike was his sincere be-
lief in bis fellow townsmen and their
community. Local pride never had a more
buoyant champion than he. For him San
canon county in general, and New Salem
in particular, was the promised land, and
he was confident that the people were
equal to the task of developing it accord
ing TO it's needs. Thus when 1t was first
suggested that the shallow snag-bound
Sangamon river was navigable and might
be made a great highway of commerce,
he eagerly championed the theory and
worked with voice. pen and hand to realize
a practical result. The Sangamon is still
unnavigable and New Salem has disap-
peared, but Lincoln's plea for improving
the waterway remains as evidence OF
his sincere belief in the future of the
community and to show us what he could
do with a weak cause at the age of 21.
The argument is not remarkable, but 1t
is exceedingly interesting and suggestive.
Although he was young and boyishly en-
thusiastic Lincoln did not overstate the
possibilities nor underestimate the diff
culties Of his case; and despite the really
laughable attempt which was afterward
made to force the passage OF the Sanga-
mon, there was nothing ludicrous In his
plea. What he claimed sounds reasonable,
and what he hoped for possible, even in
the face OF failure.-IFTom Lincoln the
Lawyer" in the Century.
