nrGn WATERS DRAW CROWD.

The rivers have been on ram
page for the last two days and yes
terday at six O'Clock the Grand WAS as
high as It has been at any time this
year. The rumor was current that
II was still rising and that much
property along its banks was in grave
danger of destruction This rumor
and the. charm of looking upon tur-
bulent waters attracted large num-
ber of people to the banks of the river
all along the edge of the city and they
were well repaid for their walk for
1t presented very pretty sight.
Superintendent Vedder of the
water works said last evening he was
not surprised at the great number
which lined the banks of the stream
watching the mad whirling torrent
for he said 1t was a sight not often
to be seen. He said he had been
guaging the water in the river for
the past fifteen years, ten years
of that time for private enterprises
and the latter five for the city OF
Grand Junction and that the river
was nearly as high as 1t has ever been
known.
He said that his wife had placed
stake marking the heighth of the
water when 1t reached its highest
point during the food of 1905 and
that at six O'Clock last evening 1t
lacked Just four inches of having
reached that high water mark The
| Grand fell two inches during last
night but it is expected that If the
present hot weather continues the
river will remain high for some time
although not so high as last night
Grand Junction people who arrived
in the city from Glenwood Springs
i that fhaV qaw two bridges
20 down in the torrent of the Grand
| Just this side of Glenwood last even
ing. They said that a man driving
a team to a heavy wagon was cross
/ ing on one of the bridges when 1t was
swept awaw and it was with the
greatest difficulty that the man sue
ceeded in escaping and rescuing one
of his horses. The other horse was
drowned and the wagon was lost.

THE EXCITING FINISH
 OF BROOKLYN HANDICAP
Won by Takalon Ridden by a Prom
 ising Novice.

New York May 21.-COming through a flying field with a splendid burst of speed Tokalon, owned by J. w. Fuller and ridden by Bedell, almost a novice in the saddle won the Brooklyn handi- cap at Gravesend today. She covered the mile and quarter in 2:05 35, with in one-fifth of second of the record for the race, and in the ganest or drives. under whip and spur, nosed out the stout hearted Dandelion in the run through the stretch. Two lengths be- hind came The Picket, who two years ago carried his colors to victory in the same stake against the mighty Irish Lad and Hermis, and last of all was Delhi, winner of the classic only a year ago.
 Between the first and last was an evenly balanced field of thorough breds. Tokalon was at 25 to 1, while DandeliOn was favorite at fours and Merry Lark, who fin shed fifth, carried the talents money at threes. Half a dozen others were backed for thou sands, and TokaIon herself, though her price varied little, was not by any means disregarded.
 Roseben, the Johnson sprinter, was a factor in the race for he took the lead in the first half and carrred the others at a terrific clip the full mile, with Dandelion ever at his side. When Roseben's bolt was shot the Hamburg colt, game as his mighty sire, but lack ing that brilliant sire's turn of speed came up on the inner rail, and it seemed as though the race was his. Then Tokalon, with the swinging stride that made her sire, Tammany, great est of racers in his day, broke through the line in front and pushed her nose against the leaders withers. Full half furlong their heads rose and fell to- gether and inch by inch the little mare drew up and closed the space between them. A bound or two from the wire she showed in front and they crossed

 Only 200 marines are on the Isthmus at present These are in command of Major C. G. Long. More than 400 marines are on the Columbia, which is on its way to Guantanamo. and will be within easy call in case the politics become stormy in Panama.

Washington, D. C., May 21.-Decided opposition developed today in the house against the passage of the bill to eX- tend the time for the completion of the Alaskan Central railway. MT. Williams insisted that the bill was obnoxious because it exempted the property from license tax and tax on its railway dur= ing the period of construction and for five years thereafter. He believed that every individual as well as every cor portion, should pay his proportionate share of the tax burden.
 MT. Powers of Maine insisted that the bill was a good business prOposi- tion. The yeas and nays were ordered and the bill was defeated-yeas, 109, nays, SO; present, 25; two-thirds not having voted in it's favor.
