SUNDAY AS 1T SHOULD
BE IN GRAND JUNCTION.

Yesterday was the first Sunday
that has passed in Grand Junction
for a number of years which in the
opinion of a large majority of the
people was as 1t should be. The pool
rooms were closed and passers by
could hear the click of the ivor-
les as they were rolled about the
table by the players as has been the
case heretofore.
The proprietors of one of the pool
rooms appeared in public court this
morning to answer a charge of keep
ing his place open after midnight
Saturday night His defense was
that he had only one table in opera
tion after the hour of 1 . and that on
ly being used by two gentlemen who
desired to finish their game. The
judge took the case under advisement
and it is not thought that it will be
pushed as there was no intent on
the part of the man to break the
law, as all the other tables in his
place We're covered at the proper

EAsTERNERs FOR COLORADO

The states of the middle west are
contributing their full quota of set
tiers to Colorado these days, and col
onies and towns of people from Ind
Hama, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
other states are being formed in diff
ferent parts of Colorado.
Crook, a new town near Sterling
has been laid out by Iowa capitalists
who have attracted settlers from
their home state to it. The first
trainload of Iowans who will set
tie on farms in the vicinity of Crook
has already arrived, and other parties
will come during the fall and early
spring.
Missouri farmers are planning to
establish a colony in the eastern part
of the state and have secured 80,
900 acres near the Kansas boundary
where they will establish a town and
begin the work of tilling the fields.
The number of Iowans on the West
ern slope can be judged by the fact
than an Iowa picnic was held at Pali-
sade August 1st and in the neighbor-
hood of 1000 former residents of
the Hawkeye state had the best time
they have known since the last corn
shucking."
Farmers in the middle western
states are beginning to realize that
Colorado is indeed the land of prom
ise and that bigger yields of all kinds
and bigger returns for the money in
vested can be made here than in any
other section of the country. The
coming fall and winter. according
to advices received by the Colorado
State Commercial association, will
see more hOmeseekers in the state
! than ever before. A systematic cam
paign of publicity exploiting Colo
radios many advantages and resourc-
es, and designed particularly to
reach the homeseeker, will be inau-
gurated, and this without doubt will
attract thousands to the state. They
will become numbered in the list of
the states happy and prosperous citi-

a pedestrian who was passing up
on the sidewalk in front of Loeffler's
store Sunday morning about three o.
clock noticed a man within the store.
Thinking that it was out of the or
binary for the store to be open at
that time in the morning the man
promptly notified the proprietor's
brother by telephone, Mr.. Loeffler,
the proprietor of the place having left
for Chicago a few days before. When
the proprietor's brother arrived at
the store he found the store in ap-
parent good order and the store with
out human habitation.
After an investigation had been
made it was learned that the man in
the store was one of the clerks who
had stopped on his way home to get a
package that he left in the store early
Saturday evening and thus another
burglar story was killed.

ATTORNEY WEIGH
GOES EAST FOR BRIDE

Barney welch left yesterday for
Rockville. Md, where he will be
married in a few days to Miss Helen
Wilson Talbot, a sweetheart of his
boyhood days. The bride to be is
one of the most popular girls of her
home town and the wedding will be
the elimination of a romance that
had its beginning when the couple
were children.
The groom is one of the most pop
ular young attorneys of the western
slope and has host of friends. The
happy couple will spend several days
visiting points of interest in the East
after which they will come to Grand
Junction and will take up their resi-
dence temporarily at the Boyer house
on Grand avenue.

OPERA COMPANY LEAVES

The Bostonian opera company left
this morning for Montrose where they
will present the same opera that
they did in this city, "The Geisha, I"
as presented at the Park Saturday
night and was well received by a
small audience that was present. The
company would have had a good
house had they had a little more
time to advertise their appearance
but the first that was konwn that
the company would show here was
about noon on Saturday. Those who
were there were of the opinion that
the company should have had a much
better house than they drew as the
show was a good one and all the ac-
tors and actresses did their parts in
most satisfactory manner.
