Senator Guggenheim then arose TO

marks that were most enthusiastic

First of all l want TO let YOU
know how very glad am to be able
to come to Grand Junction and fur
ther' now happy am to be your guest
this evening.
As has been said have been ac-
lively engaged in business for many
years and as far as am personally
concerned l expect to introduce busi-
ness methods in politics. To carry out
this plan came over to the west
ern slope this week to observe with
my own eyes what you people need

that time is remarkable. As / look

large city to come not many years
in the future.
As have gone about today have
perceived that three things above all
others Grand Junction needs. First
Grand Junction should have much
larger post Office, in fact federal
building; an amusement park
(Monumcnt parlI) that should be inn
proved for this city, il deserves IL;
then comes the greatest want and pro-

canal. l wish TO say to YOU now that
I shall do everything i'm my power TO
bring about the building of this water
way. If my efforts along this line do
not succeed in one year, then I shall
work two years or three years until
that most lnudable object is obtain
ed. If I find that my efforts with the
department chiefs AT Washington are
not successful then | will 90 TO the
great friend of the west, President
Roosevelt and lay the matter square,

the ground and seen what such n can
al Will do, with my own eyes. You de-
serve IL and IL it Is in my power to

In closing Senator Guggenheim as
sured the gentlemen present that
whether In Denver or Washington
he wanted it understood that he was
always ready to hear from Grand
Junction people and do what ne
could for them
The senator's remarks were most
heartily received.

short but interesting. sensible and
forceful talk He spoke of the won

and progress he had noted during
his drives over the valley yesterday.
He thought that If ever a project
worthy of building had been called
to the attention Of the government itI
was the high line canal of the Grand
Valley. Mr.. Harrington brought out
some ilne ideas as to why Grand June
tion and fits marvellous fruit industry
should he far more widely advertised
than It is Some Of the methods he
suggests are very valuable indeed. He
paid tribute to Senator Guggenh elm
in closing.
Attorney J. S. Carnahan, Of this
city then made quite an extended talk
on the all important theme. the high
line canal A. B. Hoyt was called
upon and said a few words. EXMayor
Joe NJ Sampliner was asked to speak
He simply declared that ne hOped
that Senator Guggenheim would
prove the best or one of the best sena-
tors Colorado has ever had and said
that he felt certain that he would
do more for us than had Senator Pat
terson.
Shortly before eleven O'Clock the
party broke up and after the guests
had hidden good night TO Senator
Guggenheim the congenlal, import
ant and Informal gathering was at an
end.
While Senator Guggenheim ex-I
pressed great regret at not being
able to meet more of the people he
wanted # understood that he was
here for the sole purpose Of looking
into the high line canal project and
as he could be here only a day and
an evening It was best that he de-
vote all his time to this matter He
expects to come again soon and then
he hopes to meet the people in
general.
The visit of Senator Guggenhelm
is another important upward step in
the high line canal campaign.
