The illness of Judge Caswell
which caused his death, was OF
few days duration only. On Monday
night he was stricken with paralysis
ard from that stroke he never re-
covered. Friends of his from this
city were at his bedside just the day
after, and ii is questionable If he
even knew them. A. G. Newton, d
longtime friend of the deceased Wis
tied at the home of Justice Caswell
on Tuesday and was admitted to the
sick mans room; but Mr.. Newton is
undecided whether Judge Caswell
knew him Oh his entrance to the
room.
He was Pioneer.
Judge Caswell had been connected
with the upbuilding of western Col
orado for more than a quarter of a
century. He was among the pio-
neers of this city and county. He
had been leader III thought and ac-
ton here during all of that period
For many years he was the trusted
lieutenant of the late Senator Ed
ward o. Wolcott in politics in this
of strong character and large ability

During the summer of 1906, dur,
ing a visit to Denver, Judge Caswell
was importuned to become candi'
date for one of the supreme justice
ships. which would be vacant. lie
at first did not take kindly to the
suggestion; but, after being urged
to accept such a nomination. by MS
friends who believed that 1t would
be a fitting rounding out of his ca
reer, he stated to his party Leaders
that he would accept the NOMINATION
If rendered to him. but would make
no effort to secure 1t.
He was nominated by his party
and at the election polled the high
est vote of any candidate on the re
publican ticket.
He Loved Grand Junction.
Judge Caswell worked very siren
uousIy at the work of the justiceshiI
and seemed to enjoy his work great
ly. But it is true. also. that many
times he told friends who would Wis
1t him in his rooms at the capito
that he would rather be at GrahS
Junction among his friends than Ii
Denver. He had always a longinf
to return to Grand Junction ane

last summer he visited this cit,
and he enjoyed that visit most thor
.0nghly. Here he would meet mel
with whom he had been associated
for years, and he took great deligh
in talking of old times. He has no
visited this city since that time. ant

% Years In This City.
He remained In the Middle park
region until November. 1885, then
abandoned all attempts at further
mining operations. and. coming to
Grand Junction. formed a partner
ship for the practice of law with G..
w. Burris. now a resident OF Salt
Lake City. The partnership lasted
two years and half, and at the end
of that time was dissolved by the
detirement and removal OF Mr.. Bur-
ris. From that time until his cleo
ton to the supreme court justiceship
of Colorado Judge Caswell practiced
law alone. He was at the head of
his profession in western Colorado
for many years and was considered
one of the able lawyers OF the state.
Most Successful Lawyer.
He had a most extensive practice
for many years In the state and the
federal courts. He was civil court
lawyer of remarkable ability and sue
cess, and few men In the state were
better versed In the irrigation law.
His ability was demonstrated In
many renowned cases and In almost
every forum in this part OF the coun-
try.
A Staunch Party Man.
For more than fifteen years Judge
Caswell was the chief counsel for
tho Grand Valley Irrigation Com
pany, the parent irrigation company
OF this section. and for many other
large corporations. He was for years
attorney In this part OF the state for
the Rio Grande Railway Company.
Always a staunch republican In pol
itics and always giving to the affairs
of his party the most active, zealous
and effective support. he was high
and influential in the party councils.
For twenty-one years he served as
chairman of the Mesa county delega-
ton and was for many years mem
Der of the state central committee OF
his party. However, his most ardent
devotion has been to his profession.
and that has rewarded his loyalty in
a measure commensurate with his IL
deity and constancy. Fraterpally
Judge Caswell belonged to the Ma
sonic lodge and Royal Arch Chapter
In this city.
Married in 1901.
On May 4, 1871 Juu6S Cao"ci
was married to Miss Jessie Tenney
Gray of Kansas City, Kans., where
the marriage occurred. Mrs. Cas-
we'll is the daughter Of Judge b. and
Mary (Tenney) Gray OF that city.
She is a most accomplished lady 3e-
ing a graudate OF Wellesley College.
She enteredat all times with appre-
ciative and helpful spirit into the
plans and ambitions OF her husband.
No children were born to the couple.
Interested In Fruit.
In addition to his professional in
terests, Judge Caswell for a number
of years practically demonstrated his
faith in the fruit growing industry
OF this county. for he was one of the
original fruit growers OF the valley.
Until he removed to Denver he
owned, with Hon. A. d. Hoyt, Mesa
county's representative in the gener-
al assembly, one of the best orchards
in the valley.
Having a love for beautiful horses.
Judge Caswell took great pride In

Raising Cotton In Texas.

ATexan writing 70 ttie Dallas News
tells of his experience in raising COZ
ton this year, which was in the ma
ture of the phenomenal. The owner
of small farm which he cultivates
himself, planted part of it in cotton.
o. a certain three-acre5 h- raised
$500 pounds or seven 500-rc,ln1
bales. The rows were laid out five
and half feet apart, ran north and
south. He also relates that cotton
planted in rows running east and
west. did rot produce "nearly so
much" as the cotton with rows run
ming north and south. This agricul-
tural note, while in a measure ex-
planning the bountiful cotton crop
of Texas this year, also offers sug-
gestion that it would be well to plant
cotton in rows running north and
south since by this method the grow
ing cotton gets the benefit of the
most sunshine.-Cotton Journal.

Prohibition in United States.

Prohibitionists should rejoice over
the fact just made public that 30,-
100000 Americans, more than one
third of the total number, are now
living under prohibition laws. Tex
as, Arkansas and Tennessee are al
most entirely prohibition, and other
States are making what the Associ-
ated Prohibition Press calls pro
gress." Figures don't lie. of course,
but these are difficult to reconcile
with the enormous increase in the
amount of spirituous, vinous and
malt liquors consumed by the Unit
ed States. Can it be that only two
thirds of the people of the United
States drink all those millions of
dollars worth of beer and whiskey
every year?
The truth is not SO hard to discov-
er amid the perplexities. If a third
of the country has passed prohibition
laws the reason is that it does not
approve of the open saloon. Exper-
ience in Maine, Iowa and other pro-
hibition States has shown that pro-
hibitory laws do not decrease the
amount of liquor consumed in the
territory they cover, but they do
lessen the injurious influence of the
saloon. The saloon, when placed
under the ban of the law, does not
try to dominate the community, but
is glad to exist in darkness. Ameri-
cas- bill for liquid refreshments is
by far the greatest it has to pay
every year, and it steadily increases
in spite of all the fervid agitation of
the prohibitionists. But at the same
time the saloon is rapidly losing its
power, which so long has been evil
in political and moral affairs in the
United States.-Chicago Journal.

The importance Of Postage Stamp.

At the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, at Washington, each sepa-
rate postage stamp is handled by
more than two hundred people be-
fore it comes into the purchaser
hands. To deliver the letter on
which it is pasted to the addressee
requires the work, on an average, of
nearly hundred thousand more, in
Guiding the men who made the letter
box into which'yo dropped it, built
the postofice where it was sorted,
laid the rails over which it was car
ried, made the sack the postman
uses, and fashioned the hundreds of
other accessories needed. It gives
one a realizing sense Of his impor-
tance in the world of to-day when
one considers that he can enlist all
these men and all this work for only
two cents.-The Kings Own.

Most Dangerous Occupations,

There are two avowedly danger

all safeguards, man takes his life

work and in which the concomitant

writes Arthur b. Reese on Out In

the manufacture Of dynamite and
gunpowder and submarine tunnel
ing. In railroading. mining and all
other trades, dangerous though they
be, the peril can be minimized by
proper precautions to greater ex-
tent than is possible in these two oc-
cupations.
Dynamite is deatll-dealing from
it's making to it's use. In a blasting
powder plant men work eye to eye
with deaths with faces sober and
drawn. Every moment death stares
them in the face. No man ever be-
comes accustomed to the terror-the
majority quit after a few weeks.
High wages tempt them to enter,
but not to stay. They lift things
gingerly and put them down with
the utmost care; they seem afraid
even to step briskly. No one ever
whistles in a powder mill,

that the pressing problems of trans

up like jack-knives. In the worst
cases it kills with horrible death. "
