Mr.. and Mrs. c. T. Rawalt, Verne
Rawalt, Mrs. Inez Brown and Mr..
and Mrs. A l.. Roberts.
A bountiful dinner was spread
under the splendid trees that make
Mr.. Roberts place SO pleasant,
and the assembled guests did such
justice to the viands that the walk
through the great orchard was ab-
solutely necessary to settle the
same.
The afternoon was spent in So
cial conversation, many of those
present having mutual acquaint-
ances far away, whom Mr. Shearon
had recently visited on the coast,
made the afternoon one of reciting
many "reminiscences of the past.
An inspection of Mr.. Roberts
magnificent orchard was one OF
the pleasures of the day. This
orchard is deservedly considered
the finest in the North Fork. and
Mr.. and Mrs. Shearon will carry a
good story of our fruit industry to
their Jefferson county friends.
AT a late hour in the evening
the guests departed, all satisfied
that they had spent a delightful
afternoon, and Mick Huff and the
writer sincerely hoping that they
had not foundered on buttermilk,
which blythe way, reminded US OF
the old days on the farm when
mother made us work the churn.
The Mesdames Roberts proved
themselves most excellent hos
tesses and made all feel at home.

To Establish County Lines.

At last the dispute of the line
between Gunnison and Delta
counties is to be settled in a
peaceful way, the contending
counties having signed an agree
ment to have the survey made
establishing the dividing line
permanently. the work to begin
not later than August 1st.
This is move in the right d.
rection and should forever settle
the matter of taxation between
the two counties, as residents
along the line will know which
county they have to pay taxes in.
1t has been a continual bother
for years.-Delta Laborer.

PAoNIA. Colo, July l3, 1906,
We take the liberty of letting
our Prairie City friends know that
we arrived here O. X, having
stood the trip fine. There are
many points of interest which
would take too much valuable
space to tell it all. Must say the
mountain scenery is fine and you
get your moneys worth in a trip
over the Rockies. Upon arriving
at Paonia we find Arthur, George
and families all well pleased with
their western homes. We also
find the Mollar, Rovaart, McCon
naughey and Parker families all
enjoying the best Of good health,
Paonia is a fine little mountain
town of 1000 population and en-
joys the trade of several thousand
ranchcrs whose chief occupation
is fruit raising. Now let me say
that when it comes to fruit raising
these fellows are there with the
goods (pardon the slang.) ! will
not try to tell any fruit stories as
it would no doubt cause your
readers to doubt the truth.

Watson's Magazine for July.

A striking portrait of Andrew
Jackson is the frontispiece of the
July Watson's; and Mr. Watson's
promised biography of Jackson
begins in the same number. In
addition he contributes his usual
quota of editorials, among which
he includes Political Platform
for 1908" Furthermore he sup
plies a book review and answers a
quantity of inquiries in his "Edu-
cational Department" Emphatic
ally, he once declared, he is the
Magazine; and yet in the large
number OF 100 pages room is left
for many and various contributors.
Conspicuous are Thomas H. lib
bles, Albert Griffin, John c. Reed,
Allan L. Benson, Hon. Walter
Clark, of the Supreme Court of
North Carolina; r. w. Kaufman
and Charles Q. De France. The
most valuable articles, outside the
editorials, are The Next Consti-
tutional Convention,' Direct
Election of Senators, ,""Good Life
Insurance and Bad" and George
F. Baer, Hessian of Industry"
Besides there are several good
short stories, verses, sketches and

the big cars. There was much
enthusiasm and many in the party
were there to see their first broad

long to the little cars.
While trains are still running

Savings Banks That Will Live.

The national banking trust has
thus tar proved strong enough to
defeat any movement for postal
savings banks in this country, no
matter how urgently the demand
was made by reason of the failure
of state laws to protect the saw
ings of the people. But the
bureau of insular affairs, by its
approval of an act passed by the
Philippine commission May "a,
1906, has taken an important step
in this popular direction. Postal
savings banks are to be established
at once in the islands, the pur-
pose being to encourage thrift
and to provide capital at reason
able rates for local improvements
and business.
Under the scheme adopted the
banks will be of the first, second
and third classes. In banks of
the first class, subject to certain
provisions, deposits OF any
amount may be taken in or with
drawn, but in the second and
third class banks limitations will
exist on the amount placed on de
post or withdrawn at one time.
In banks of the third class deposits
will be received in the form of
postal savings bank stamps of the
denomination of FIVE, ten and
twenty centavos, Any person
having a deposit account at one
bank is permitted to make de
posts or Withdrawals at any
other postal savings bank.
To begin with the rate OF in
terest on deposits is fixed at 20
per cent. yearly until experience
shows that higher rate may be
paid. All deposits and the in

LARGE CROWD OUT TO GREET THEM

All day Sunday the people
watched for the first train over
the branch after the rails were
spread. Considerable delay was
occasioned because of a strike of
Japs near Austin. They positively
refused to work longer Saturday
night, and although but two
miles of track remained to be
spread the branch was tied up
till they could be made to go to
work. They Just strolled off in
the sage brush and went to sleep.
They could hardly be blamed as
they had worked so continuously
that nature demanded a rest.
Many of our readers were out
to see the rails slipped over near
town, and on this end the work
was most expeditiously done.
