AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
Grand Junction Pretty Certain TO
Have a Good Baseball
Team Here.

Everything looks most favorable
for the organization in this city OF
a strong beseball team for work dur
ing the season of 1907.
The meeting held last night at the
Office of Currie & Son on Fifth street
was attended by about twenty gentle
men and the meeting was most en-
thusiastic. Many important steps
were taken and the matter OF organ
izing a team was thoroughly discuss
ed and it was the ruling opinion that
the time is ripe for the organization
of a team in this city, team that will
be a credit to the city and a team that
will inspire enthusiasm and call forth
liberal and deserved support.
A committee was appointed to So
licit subscriptions for the purpose of
putting the team on solid financial
bnsis for the opening of the season.
On next Friday night another meet
ing will be held for the purpose of
electing a captain and perfecting the
organization and hearing the reports
of the various committees.
Already a number of the express
men have ben seen and they have
agreed to carry passengers from
the ball grounds this summer at
much lower rate than Is usually
charged here and thus one OF tne
great disadvantages that has always
been encountered here for the ball
games is done away with.
1t is presumed that the games In
his city will be pulled on at the fair
grounds though no arrangements
have as yet been made for the
grounds.
1t is the intention of those back
of the movement to get up an extend
ed series of games with other towns
and cities and the various teams
throughout the state.
There is good material here for a
splendid baseball team and from the
run of comment around town the Sen
tinel believes that the support will
be liberal and enthusiastic.
A manager was elected last night
but as yet has not decided whether
he will accept.
Grand Junction is the right size to
have n good baseball team and if the
citizens will stand back of the move
ment and encourage by support and
liberal patronage the games we can
have a team that will make a record
that all will be proud of,
Here's to the success of the base
ball movement.

The Rio Grande machine shops at
Salida are tied up as a result of a
strike of the engine force of forty
men. The machinists have a griev-
ance against Supervisor Merritt, who
they claim, insulted their members
and then. when the insult was resent
ed, discharged them. The machin-
lists asked not only for the reinstate-
ment of the men but also the dismiss
al of Merritt under whom they say
they will not work. The matter has
been taken up with the head offic-
ials at Denver.

STATION CROWDS.

History is repeating itself, and even
America is becoming a nation OF cities,
says Jesse Williams in the midsummer
holiday Century. When we began as a
nation-in fact, as late as the beginning
of the last century, only 4 per cent Of
the population was urban. At the time
when the nations unity was threatened
all but 1e per cent were still country
people: now a third of US live in the
city.
But along with this trend there is also
a tendency to live beyond the city walls.
Those who come and go we call COM
muters. and they are usually pictured
as In a great hurry. carrying several
Bundles. These make up the great bulk
OF the crowd that jostles its way morn
ing and evening through our city gates.

UNMADE HISTORY.

The reform Of spelling. for that mat
ter. did no great harm, but it proved to
be the thin OF wedge which ultimately
rent society asunoer. For, once it was
set going. reform persisted. and would
not be denied. until manners were made
over, which hurt trade enormously. and
morals. which left a great many costly
institutional churches with no excuse
for living.
And finally. having by this time
gained great Roadway. reform attacked
the tariff and Frustrated everything.
Some Of those who had been chiefly in
strumentsl IN bringing reform into the
spelling tried hard to stop it short OF
the tariff. but without success. They
spent their money In the cause. and
died poor, and still there was no saw
ing more than few beggarly schedules.
