IF YOU ARE A PESSIMIST
GO TO THE GRAND VALLEY
James Young Secretary the State Commercial Association Paints Beautiful
and True Picture Of Conditions Here in the Denver MwsA Glorious
Future in Store for This Section

If you are pessimist and are sorry
for it; If because the sun temporarily
goes behind a cloud you are inclined
to think that IT Will never shine again,
pack your grip buy ticket for the
Grand Valley and effect within re-
markably short space of time cure
for that sour-faced feeling.
Il am not a pessimist and hope that
l never will be one; but no one, no
matter how grouchy he may be, can
make this trip into one of the most
prosperous sections of this great and
prosperous state without coming back
refreshed in mind and body and feel
ing that good old Colorado is a mighty
good place in which to live after all.
The people in the Grand Valley are
feeling good these days. The effect of
the temporary financial stringency has
not been felt in that section of the
state. The Grand Valley is prosperlng.
The fruit crop this fall was not as
difference did 1T make? Not bit.
The big price received for the fruit
has put as much money in circulation
as ever before. The farmers have rails
ed as much. If not more. grain and
forage crops than in former years and
are getting good prices, thus putting
more money into circulation. The yield
of beets has been the best ever raised
in that section of the state.
These conditions alone would make
any section prosperous. But add to all
of this the stateemnt that the United

AN ACCIDENT DELAYS
Y. NJ. G. a. EXCAVATION WORK

"A most chaotic and disturbing
scene was presented this morning
at the site of the Y. NJ. C. A. build
ing. Some time during the night a
great section of the west wall of the
excavation oaved in, burying board
ings, timber props and many other
things beneath a great mountain of
earth, and then to cap the climax a
large amount of water poured into
the big hole and assisted in making
things very ugly.
The contractor has been fearful
for several days that this particular
section of the west wall would fall
in. but he thought that he had 1t Sc
curely propped. In some manner
the wall became soaked with water,
perhaps from a broken pipe, and the
collapse occurred last night.
The accident will delay the COM
pletioh of the excavation for seevral
days and makes a great amount of
extra work necessary. 1t is most
unfortunate.

He said he was glad that the un-

taken the money question out of pol

But l want You to know" said
the speaker, that our arguments on
the money question, advanced in

republican party, but because God
Almighty took pity on the poor peo-

them vast store houses of gold.

country for Al years. They have
such charge of Wall street that Wall

New York. Nov. 9.-Satisfaction

because of the governments plan oi
relief to the market by the issue OF
$50, 100000 In Panama bonds and
500, 100000 in 1-year treasury GER
tificates. The issue of short term
certificates was more of n novelty,
and as such attracted much discus
sion.
The general opinion was that both
measures would tend TO draw idle
money from private boarding places
and restore normal conditions very
soon. SO strong was this feeling that
II was understood that the gold en-
gagements would practically cease
after today. International bankers
declared that the gold already en-
gagged is rs much as New York can
justly take from Europe under the
strained conditions which prevail
there, and to take more will only
compel It's return at later day.
