DECIDEDLY UNKIND.
And Dannably Untruthfu is the Alleged Letter of Geo.
Conkin Published m the Grand Junction Sentinel
this Week.

excep that they were misinformed
for the North Fork will ship
many cars of apples this fall. Our
Rome beauty and Geneton apples
are not injured at all. We will
have some Ben Davis and Iona
than apples. Our failure is not
total and we would thank our
neighbors to refrain from making
it worse than it's. Had we been
disposed to take the word of the
retailers OF misfortune we should
long since have printed lurid
pictures of Mesa county's terrible
loss. We preferred to let the
local papers of that county give
publicity to their own misfortune.
II they lie about it the truth will
come out later. If we are mis-
representing the facts here that
too will come out and show us up
IN an unenViabie light. The future
will show clearly which is the
truthful report. We deny most
emphatically the statements at
tributed to the Delta County
Fruit Growers Association. They
arc welcome to talk for them
selves but with or without their
leave. the North Fork will speak
for itself. Mr.. Conklin says he
did no, write anything for US and
we accept his word. Evidently
the North Fork was involved by
some jealous locality that sought
to assuage their own grief by ac-
cumulating company in their
misery.

We were much surprised Mon
day evening to read in the Senti-
mel, published at Grand Jun -tion,
the following letter, purporting
10 be a copy of one sent certain
commission men in the east:
The following is a copy of a
letter sent out by the Delta Fruit
Growers association to the com
mercial houses:
Dear Sirs:-This is to inform
you that we will not have a box
of any kind of fruit to give you
this season as it has all been dcs-
,royed by freeze in the past three
days, except. perhaps. few boxes
Of Rome Beauty apples that may
yet be lets. Do not depend on
Delta county shipping a single
box OF fruit in 1907. Yours truly,
THE DELTA Co. FRUIT GROWERS
ASSOCIATION"
We took the matter up by
phone with Mr.. Conklin and he
emphatically denies writing any
thing of this purpors. We do not
know anyone who is denying that
We have been badly hurt by the
freeze. While, as stated in other
parts Of this paper, we do not yet
know the full truth, we know
enough to show that the loss has
been immense. We made thi.
statement frankly last week. We
have studiously avoided saying
anything about the loss in other
localities, knowing how much
danger there was of doing an in
justice. We cannot conceive why
the Sentinel exaggerates our loss

seem to like their work and are
entertainers who will always meet
with public approval, The fact
that their second performance
was much better attended than
the first is guarantee that they
were we'll liked. Personally we
think Miss LaSalle is capable of
very stronge work, while Coghlan
and Mather added much to the
affair with their very excellent
song and dance specialties. Law
renee Sullivan is a comedian of
most versatile character ani never
failed to please the audience.
Madge Vontello did a very excel
lent soubrette part the last night,
and besides is pianist of marked
ability. We hope they will ap-
pear here again.
Baby LaRue in her inimitable

Didn't Pan Out.

Shears and Sawbuck kept a store
Such as never was before.
City folks they wouldn't sell.
Wouldn't let 'em have smell.
Fetched their money-but by ling
Couldn't buy a blessed thing:
Couldn't meet 'em face to face
An then sell 'em with good grace.
Country trade was what they so't
Folks who'd pay for what they bot
For they saw IL, hide or tail
They sent catalogues by mail

Jim got harness and plow,

Used it for a torch one night:

Love Triumphs Over Difficulties.

Love Triumphs Over Difficulties.
On Thursday morning after a
tempestuous voyage of discovery.
a wedding was consumated in
Hotchkiss. after trials that would
certainly have discouraged any,
one except the determined groom.
The parties to the contract were
Thos. Blackwell, editor of the
North Fork Times, and Miss
Edna Funk, a we'll known and
esteemed young lady of that
place. Wednesday Tom went to
Delta to secure the license and
one of the boys, whose name we
dare not give, but whose hair
matches Blackwell's to a shade,
telePhoned the county clerk, rep
resenting that as the father of
the bride to be, he forbid
the marriage on account of
the extreme youth of the bride.
County Clerk Doughty did rot
like to take any chances of that
sort and demanded proof of the
young lady having reached a
legal age. Sam Cockreham was
called in to add his testimony to
that of the excited would-be-
groom that the young lady was of
lawful age to make a contract of
this sort. Then the license was
granted. 1t might be imagined
that after stirring Tom up in this
fashion the jokers would be satis-
fed to let nature take her course,
but not SO. Thursday morning
the ceremony was performed at
the Baptist parsonage by Rev.
A. H. Nickle, and carriage had
been secured to take the couple
to the train tor trip through the
east. Again the dextrous hands
of jokers was in evidence. A
balky team had been hitched to
the rig and one of the brutes in
sisted on laying down and taking
siesta before making the train.
In tones that made the drivers
hair curl Tom called for another
team, and one was forth coming.
Just then, as if to add insult to
injury nature took a hand and a
snow storm as unreasonable as
the wickedest heart could wish,
began. Tom and his bride at
length got loose from Hotchkiss
friends, including the elements.
and before this item gets in print
will be across the snowy
range basking in the sunshine
which their merits deserve. 1t
seems to be prerogative of all
to make as terrible as possible the
ordeal through which the victims
of cupid must PASS. Nevertheless,
all the acquaintance of this
estimable couple will join with
THE NEWSPAPER in wishing that
all their future troubles may be
lacking in malice as were those
cooked up for them by admiring
but jovial Hotchkiss friends.
