HAIL THE DAY !..

Wednesday night November 2Sd
viii record an epoch making period H.
the city of Grand Junction. On that
night the bids gof the construction
of the mountain water system of the
/ city of Grand junction will be opened
and thorough examination made,
for the purpose of awarding the con-
tract for its construction.
II II might he said that the bringing
of water from the mountains to this
city, has been a dream of its citizens
from the period when Grand June
tion first took form, to become a city.
The early attempts to secure the
building of mountain water system
which continued over period OF
years, need not be rccounted now,
as those attempts and the acrimony
and hatred of those days, when the
city was divided into two great camps,
is now ancient history. The progress
i've city lives in the present and thu
future, not the past.
When the present city council was
elected, il was anticipated that II
would undertake the building of the
long hoped for mountain water sys-
/ TEN. In fact the preliminary dcbat"
upon the proposal TO build the sys-
TEN began almost with the first meet
/ ing of council. The interest in the
subject was intensified and solidificd
when, the Chamber of Commerce di-
rectorate came before the council.
by it's president, James :. Carnahan
and said that rejecting the sentiment
of the city il asked the present coun-
Gil to undertake the work of securing
I for this city such n system.
/ Listening to the demands of the
citizens and to their own desire to
see consummatcd such n great under
/ taking, which meant so much for
this city, council began TO lay plans NJ
once to undertake the work. No hasty
hut by deliberate steps the council
proceeded with the preliminary work.
Amc't from the beginning il was
hampcrcd by individuals and even
some of those whose duty il was to as
sist council in avoiding legal complica-
tions, due TO their absolute ignorance
of the matter of securing water fo,
domestic use. But council proceed
cd right ahead doing their level best
TO obey the Will of the people, until

people overwhelmingly expressed, not
withstanding the very severe back
capping done by a few individuals,
who had personal ends To gain.
The work for tire construction Is
not yet completed. The court must
be appealed TO 10 change the point
of diversion of the waters of HANNAH
creek, the condemnation of some ri
the water which the council has not
been able To purchase made and the
right over government lands on the
FOREST reserve secured. All these
necessary legal steps are under way.
Each require time to accomplish AMI
hurry would only have complicated
matteII.
But on the whole the end of the
beginning is in sight. The council
Is ovcrioyed at the prospect, as they
have worked many hours of special
work and held many meetings Ia
accomplish that, which they have
thought was the will of the people.
\ So well established in the desire 10
see the great undertaking finally COM
plctcd that, 10 those who should by
mere pecadillos, whose purposes anG
intent can easily be detected, attempt
to forcstall the work will he visited

the people.

WHAT BLANKET
PRIMARY HID
JUDGE WILLIAMS SHOWS A SHREWD
CORPORATION SCHEME.
p BRAzEN SUBTERFUGE


Colonel iiamp Cook in an inter- |
view with Judge Williams seems to |
have let the cat of secrecy out of the |
bag of selfishness in regard to the |
demand for a blanket primary which |
has gone up from certain quarters |
The following appears in the coll |
umns over which Colonel Cook pre-
sides:
Judge j. C. Williams, now of |
Crockett, but formerly of Walker |
county, has been in the city a couple |
of days. He has been Il factor in |
the politics not only of the counties |
in which he lived, but in congress |
ional and state politics of the section |
for several years In crucial trials |
he has been felt by friends and foes. !
His democracy places him in that |
class that believes not in temporiZ- |
ing with factions or isms of any |
kind appearing in democratic garb |
unless the principles of democracy |
be at the top in the first place and
the ''isms" in the second. He is
sure that the blanket primary is bad
| for the people and bases his belief
upon experience and reasons. He
was asked several questions today,
one of which was:
''What do the people in your sec
ton think of the local morning pa
pers fight for the people for blan-
ket primary"
Judge Williams answered: well,
we think it is politics instead of pa
triotism."
.How Is that?''
"Wen, you see, this paper ha
been trying for some years to elect
congressman for this district froI
the city of Houston and has SO ia
in the future and so she has de
cided to try strategy instead
strength. You know the old story
about the good general who' aite,
|trying for years to take the walled
city. decided to use strategy. He
called for a conference with the enc
my in the city and told them they
had misunderstood his purposes to-
ward them. That all the reason he
was trying to capture them was that
he might have the right in the fu-
ture to protect them from their enc
mics That he, in fact, loved them
very much, and to show his love for
| them he wanted peace, and as
peace offering he had made them
great big wooden horse which he
told them would always bring them
good luck. if they kept it inside the
walls of the city The people in the
city were delighted with the gift and
the good general and his soldiers
helped them to roll the big horse
inside the walls of their city but
as soon as he got in side the gate the
big horse fell all to pieces and out
of him tumbled lot of well armed
soldiers who threw open the gates
OF the city and let the good general
and his soldiers in. and the city was
captured and her people put TO the
sword Now. YOU know. We people

Berkeley, Cal, Sept. 1S.-President
Benjamin Ide Wheeler Of the Univer.

his address on language reform at

have authority in matters of language
changes. While discussing his Sten.

is of the highest Importance TO the
most sacred civilized interests that
no changes be made, such as have
been proposed, without more careful
consideration and cooperation of all
branches Of the English-speaking
world"
