A TRIBUTE TO EX-SENATOR DON
ELSON CAFFERY.

We herewith publish the fol.
lowing communication from
a San Antonio, Tex, CORES.
pondent to the Houston
(Tex.) Daily Post, Of date
March 8, 1899. It is a glow
ing and well-deserved tribute
to our lamented citizen, ex-
Senator Donelson Caffery,
who stood in the Senate like
a Colossus among the tribe
who have bought their way
into the halls where Calhoun,
Webster, Clay, and other
notable Americans once stood
for liberty, the constitution
and the whole country. No
truer man than Hon. Donel-
son Caffery ever trod the soil
of Louisiana. The follow
ing is the communication:
To the Editor of the Houston Post:
Some men drift into the presi-
dency; others capture it by storm.
Piping times of trade issue gave us
Van Buren, Polk and Mckinley:
turmoil, crisis, and peril gave us
Washington, jackson and Lincoln.
Since Mckinley evolved into
president, the Nation has gone
from one era to another. We have
emerged from the era of tariff and
money, which found it's exponent
in Mckinley, into the era of con-
stitutional questioning, of re-
volutionary enterprise, and of
National convulsion, which calls
for an exponenta as broad as WASH
ington, as firm as Jackson and as
strong as Lincoln.
A storm is brewing for the
American system of government.
The fernzy of conquest, the itch
for trade, the pride of power in
army and in navy, all combine to
threaten the American system with
and overthrow. Swift
and complete will be the destruc-
tion IF our ideals if we conquer,
and govern, beyond the limits of
our continent. European entangle-
ment would be more dangerous !
than Asiatic invasion.
The issue, then, il expansion,
momenrous and pres
sing, it belittles all others into !
nothingness. It is a question of |
the form and nature of the govern
ment; what have we to do now !
with questions of administration? /
How much tariff shall be levied by
the government? WI at form OF
shall be used by the
government, are high and grave
questions, but can we consider
hem when we are deciding what
he government itself shall be? !

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo, !
Aug. 10, 1907. ,

The long cherished desire of the peo-
Pile of this valley TO have located in our
midst an educational institution of high
er learning is to be realized in the or
ganization of Western University of
Industries, Science and Arts which was
Incorporated in June of this year. The
plan and scope of the University is to
be broad in every feature and in accord
with the most approved methods and
principles of present day education.
Industrial and cultural training will be
given equal emphasis in all lldepartments
of the work, and the dignifying of labor
will be kept in view. Accordingly much
attention will be given to the SO called
practical lines OF education. 1t is be-
lieved that through vocational training
along practical lines will develop the
best character and citizenship in young
men and women. In harmony with the
industrial features of the various
schools and colleges under the univer-
sity will be the provision whereby any
young man or woman with health and
ambition may pay their entire expenses
while securing an education through the
opportunities offered for work in the
industries connected with the Universi-
ty. And while all students will be ex-
pected to pay for the actual cost of
instruction, these opportunities of earn
ing their way viii be a boon to hundreds
and thousands of young men and wo-
men who otherwise would be deprived
of higher education as well as the nee
rssary training for life work.
In order to carry out this plan the
buildings, lands and industries must be
provided as endowment for the uni
versity by the gifts of public spirited
citizens. The Board of Trustees pro-
pose. as soon as sufficient endowment
can be secured, to fully equip buildings
and industrial plants for schools and
colleges of Horticulture and Agricul-
ture, Forestry. Domestic Science and
Household Economy. Engineering. Com

WESTERN UNIVERSITY
INDUSTRIES, SCIENCE AND ARTS

merce and Public Service, Normal
Teacher Training, Trades and Indus
tries, Music, Arts and Crafts, and
Liberal Arts. These are in the minds
of the members of the Board at the
present time, but other schools will be
developed later as the need aud oppor-
tunity arises. To do all of this will
require large enlowmcnts. but it is
confidently believed that the people Of
this valley and the Western Slope will
generously support the University, and
that philanthropic capitalists on the
outside will give it much support.
You will be much interested to know
that the work is to be started this fall
in small way The building formerly
occupied by the Grand Junction Busi-
ness College has been leased by the
Trustees, and is now being remodeled
for the work of this year. Equipment
to the amount Of $1,000 or 81, 500 will
be put in so that the school will be in
condition to do first class work in a
wide range of subjects. Courses will
be offered in Commerce, Preparatory
Engineering, College Preparatory,
Teacher Training, Civil Service. Music.
and some courses in regular college
work. 1t is hoped also to put in a Do
mestic Science department at the very
beginning if the equipment can be Sc
cured. The announcements which are
now in press contain outlines of about
one hundred courses which will be offer
ed the coming school year. The most
competent instructors obtainable have
been secured to take charge of the
work. Inquiries are coming in from
prospective students and the outlook is
excellent for splendid attendance
from the beginning. The work will
open October lst, and we bespeak your
hearty support and cooperation not
only in making the school a complete
success this year. but also in making
the University an institution of which
every citizen in Grand Valley and on
the Western SloPe.wili be justly proud.
O. a. YOUNG. President.

All Markets lower.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
Sept. Although local cattle
prices closed slightly lower last
week because of declines at all
markets, the demand was good
and the market closed in nice
shape. Receipts were about the
same as preceding week and
some good cattle here. A bunch
of l,400-lb. North Park steers
sold at S5.l5 freight paid, but
outside of this bunch the best
sale made during the week was
at S4.65. at which price some
good Douglas county steers went
to packers. Eastern Colorado
steers of good quality sold to
packers at $3.50 to $4.60 but
fancy stuff would have brought
more. Choice North Park cows
brought S3.65 with good Western
Slope cows at So. i5 to S.52A and
eastern Colorado cows at $3.50.
Bulk of fair to good killing cows,
however, So. 90 to 81. 40 and pack
ers bought good many pretty
fair killing cows as low as 81. IS.
Common cows were dull and
closed considerably lower. Bulls
firm and in good demand at 81. so
TO 81. rs for bulk. Veals remain
much the same with good light
weights selling at S4.00 to S4.75.
In the feeder and stocker market
prices closed lower as they did at
/ all eastern markets. Bulk of the
fair to good feeders on sale
brought S3.75 to 81. 40 but choice
stuff would have sold for more
money. Common to medium
steers sold at $500 to S3.65 and
the poorer grades from $500
down. Receipts today We're 1900
and prices 10 to 15c. lower on
account of big declines at all
eastern markets. Chicago had
$4,000 cattle today and Kansas
City 26, 900 with prices 10 to 15c.
lower.
Hog supply last week was very
good but demand was also good
and trade active. Prices held up
well all week but closed Slightly
lower and bulk of hogs are now
selling around Sc. 90 to 6.10.
Sheep supply last week was
$4,000 head but most of them
went to the feed lots under con-
tract. The local demand is very
good but prices ruled weak in
sympathy with lower markets
east.

DIARIES MUST ALL
BE WHITEWASHED
MILK INSPECTOR DUNCAN BE-
GINS SPRING CAMPAIGN FOR
CLEANLINESS-L,T T. COBB FINED
AND s5 GALLONS DESTROYED.

Milk and Meat Inspector Duncan and
his assistant, Humphrey, Will make a
close inspection of the diaries during the
next month, and require general spring
cleaning Every dairy house will have to
be freshly whitewashed, and all filth and
uncleanllness removed. The officers are
determined to suppress the sale of poor
milk, so arrests will be made whenever
the specific gravity of the product does
not measure up to the requirements.
l.. T. Cobb milkman, was arrested
yesterday and fined s25 for selling milk
below the requirements. Thrty-five gal
Ions of milk had to be poured into the
gutter, according to the city license.
The past month has been an active one
with the milk inspector. He has convicted
four persons for violating milk inspection
laws one of them being for the use Of
poison in the milk.
In meat inspection, although the month
has been slightly warmer than usual In
February, the amount of condemned meat
has not increased materially. Mr.. Duncan
has been kept busy with meteorological
tests for the physicians, and will make his
full report at the next council meet
ing.

NEW COUNTY JAIL
MAY MATERIALIZE.
LEGISLATURE WILL BE ASKED TO
PASS NECESSARY LEGISLATION
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RE-
cEss-HIeDoN OPTIMISTIC.

Although it is generally recognized that
TIA. county will not receive an appropria-
ton during the first session of this legis-
lature, everybody in the court house Is
confident that authority will be granted
the Board of Revenue to issue sufficient
bonds, Immediately after the recess.
Urgent bills have taken up so much time
of the legislators that the advocates of
court house accommodate ons have been
simply sleeping on their arms, with the
intention of springing up a the right time
and CARRYING the fort without firing a
single gun.
Sheriff Hgdon, whose need for more
space is perhaps the most pressing, has
no fears but that within another year n
tall. handsome structure will rise on the
corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty
first street, and that the county will be
the possessor of ample court and jail
room.
The sheriff takes an optimistic view or
tn, present conditions. He says that dur
ing the recess he intends to look up the
law on the subject and have bill ready
giving the Board of Revenue all the
necessary power for charging the court
facilities The board is in favor of, the
plan and all the judges of the courts
will push it to a rapid conclusion.
When Judges Nesmith and Sharpe, who
were elected yesterday evening, open
court in Birmingham no one knows
where they will hold their sessions As
a humorist remarked they will probably
go I'D with the birds in the belfry until
the county can build them more APP
propriate nest.

CAR SHORTAGE TO
BE RELIEVED SOON
SOUTHERN RAILWAY APPOINTS
HENRY FONDE TO BIRMINGHAM
CARS WILL
BE PUSHED TO DESTINATION.

Henry Fonde, who was general agent
of the Southern at Knoxville, arrived in
Birmingham yesterday to take charge
this district and also the Tennessee dis
trict. He has just been appointed to that
position and assumed his duties yester-
day.
This appointment is in line with the
efforts of the Southern railway to pro-
vide more coal cars for the mines on its
lines, direct the equal distribution of the
"empties" and get the loaded cars moved
to their destination and emptied, so that
they may be available for use as soon as
possible.
Mr.. Fonde will spend a great deal of
time in Birmingham and the coal dis
tricts. He Is looked on as q most capable
railroad man, and it is believed that he
will be able to do much to relieve the
situation.
J. N. Scale, master of transportation,
Is still in the district in an effort to re-
lleve the conditions that have existed
here for some time. He and General Su-
perintendent w. n. Foreacre spent prac-
tically all last week and some of this
week in the coal district Mr.. Scale is
going over the entire situation carefully
and a result of his extended stay in
the district 1t is believed relief will be
forthcoming shortly.
Mr.. Foreacre stated yesterday that the
car situation on the Southern in his dis
trict was improving and that he hoped
to see even greater improvement in a
short time.

able to pick up heavy freight trains In

moving them at a pretty rapid clip
Superintendent It. E. Brooks said yes
terday that the ten engines to be deiiv-
cred to the Birmingham division would
come in well now. He stated that the
louisville and Nashville in the Birming-
ham district was in better shape than
it had been for some time. and that COM
paratively. 1t was in first class condi-
ton. He stated that the yards were free
from any great number of freight cars
and that they were cleaned up 1T least
once a week; that during the remainder
of the week the yards were kept pretty
clean

DRUNKARD WOULD
BREAK INTO JAIL
ONLY ENTRANCE INTO THE CITY
Lookup DURING THE WHOLE
OF YESTERDAY-NOT A WOMAN
BEHIND THE BARS.

In order that twelve hours might not
pass by without single person being in
carcerted in the city jail, an individual
broke In last night at 1880 o'clock, Just
eleven hours and fifty-nine minutes after
the last prisoner had entered.
The man in question was not brought
in the patrol wagon. but forced his way
behind the iron bars. He was heavily
intoxicated, went to headquarters and
proceeded to raise a rough house. The
officers attempted to lead him away.
but nothing would do but he must DO
locked up. His was the only arrest made
during the whole of yesterday.
This was not the only attempt made,
however In the afternoon white man
approached warden Cummings and asked
that he be allowed on the inside that he
might sleep until sober. The warden
offered to docket charge Of drunken
ness against him. but the promise Of a
IS board bill turned him away
Another popularity about yesterday at
the city Jail was that not a woman was
behind the bars. The last negress went
out on bond early in the morning. and
the female quarters are entirely empty.
These two condolences have not hap
pened for a long time. as the city yester-
day was on good behavior. February
had already gained Its share OF crime,
and the evil one was resting up for the
coming attacks OF the March winds.

Majestic Theatre.

There have been many musical acts at
the Majestic theatre this season, but the
DIXON brothers, who occupy prominent
part on the programme this week, are just
a little bit better than their predecessors.
Their ability to introduce comedy into
their work is what adds to their enter
tainment They play all sorts of in
struments. They have the reputation of
being the funniest team of grotesque art
lists in the music line on the vaudeville
stage. Their witticisms are original and
refined. In making up they are certainly
entitled to the prize, and the gyrations in
which they do their countenances is a
scream. Playing on the concertina by one
of the brothers is novelty, especially in
initiating the pipe organ There is a merry
jingle to their act when they play the
sleigh bells that are entwined about their
bodies. The other attractions are big hits
