Guggenheim, came over from
Switzerland in the steerage in 1848
and laid the foundation for the inn
mense family fortune by peddling
shoe polish. He graduated from
the position of pedder into that of
an embroidery salesman. Then he
became a manufacturer and import
er of embroidery. In exchange for a
bad debt he received an interest in a
Colorado silver mine. He studied
mining and smeltering, and, 10 and
behold in due time he blossomed
forth as the head of the American
Smelling and Refining company
the smelling trust which is family
concern of the Guggenheims, and
has qualifications all over this coun-
try, also in Mexico and Africa.
Senator Guggenheim is the next
to the youngest son of Meyer Gug-
genheim. He is small in stature, his
mental machinery operates like a
flash and although his fortune is es-
timated at more than S1OO,000.00O
he exhibits modesty not always to be
found among the excessively rich.
He is not arranging to cut a swelP'
in Washington. He denies with en-
phasis that he intends to rent Tom
Walsh's big mansion and he is plan
ming to live in much the same style
as the ordinary Senator who has to
depend on his salary.

OPENING THE ST. REGIS
Scores of People Visited the Beauti'
full New Hosiery Sat
urday Night,

Grand Junction has every reason
to be proud of the magnificent new
hosiery. just completed in every ap-
pointment, owned and operated by
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Burnett. For
the past two years Mr.. Burnett made
the Grand Hotel known throughout
the state as one of the best hotels
in this section of Colorado but with
a new $4,000 annex completed and
the old building entirely remodeled
and refitted throughout the Grand
hotel some time ago became thing
of the past and in its stead stands
the new "St Regis A more charm

oughly modern house, a more COM
Portable and attractive hotel than the
st. Regis, size considered, can hard
ly be found in the entire state. Its
hotel that would do credit to city
of several times larger than Grand
Junction.
As the finishing touches we're put
on the new building during the last
week after the workmen of the var
ious classes had been busy for months
Mr.. Burnett determined to celebrate
the entire completion of his plans
by having formal opening on last
Saturday night and from the hours of
nine to eleven O'Clock the doors of the
hotel were thrown open to the busi-
ness men of the city and the friends
of the house including the great army
of travelling men that come this way
more or less frequently
The hospitality of Landlord Bar
nett and his excellent wife is as fam
GUS as is the splendid manner in
which they have always conducted a
hotel in this city. Consequently the
two hundred or more gentlemen who
visited the St. Regis Saturday even
ing were afforded the privilege of
participating in the pleasures of a
truly enjoyable occasion. Represen-
tative men in all the different walks
OF Grand functions business and pro-
fessional life were there along with
travelling men from far and near and
it was the gladdest of of the glad
glad hands that every one got from
Landlord Harry.
There was noting formal about
the opening. The gentlemen gather
ed in the big office and chatted pleas
antly while Prof Payne's orchestra
rendered music all during the even
ing. As the guests desired they were
shown in to one of the beautiful din
ing rooms and there served with
viands that made up one of the most
wholesome, tempting and typical cold
lunches Imaginable. Rare punch and
other delicious liquids were served
during the evening. The luncheon
was served informally and the serv-
ice was wholly typical of the ct
Regis.
Late in the evening there was car
ried out most bewildering and re-
markable program of legerdemain
and magic by magician of note who
happened to be in the city at the
time. 1t was a great feature.

He held her hand in both of his and

But she did not give it: instead she
looked at the window and through it
at the waving beach grass and the blue
sea beyond. And Bradley, gazing at
her face. saw the tears overflow her
eyelids and roll down her cheeks.
He turned white, and a great dread
came over him. "Gus, don't you

contract right in the face of the sal

Sam did most of the talking. Gus
listened. and Bradley brooded. Per
haps, he thought, he had made mis-
take in leaving the big city: perhaps.
after all. he was destined to become
nothing but the "longshoreman" Gus
had minated might be his fate. Cap

how you and the cap'n are going TO
make much out of this business or get
to be anything more than just anchor
draggers. Speaking as a man with
some experience in wrecking. your
chances against the big chaps, like
our crowd. look small to me- You may
win out. but He shook his head
doubtfully.
Gus. at Hammond's request. seated
herself before the squeaky old parlor
organ and played while she and Sam
sang. Bradley. who didn't sing. sat on
the sofa and watched them gloomily.
All day he had been in that excited
nervous state where criticism o. en-
enlargement affected his spirits as the
weather does a barometer. The dole
full prophecies at the wharf-although
at another time he would have laughed
at thern-had depressed him in spite Of
himself. The whole hearted joy and
confidence of the old maids had cheer
ed him up again. but now he was real
izing that. after ALL it was Gus en-
enlargement aud congratulation that
he wanted. and she had not congratu-
lated him.
At length he rose to 60. giving as an
excuse the fact Of his being tired and
having to be up early next morning.

But when you spoke to me on the steps

to report on board at half past the
following morning. Then. having ac
complished his share of the hiring, the
junior partner returned TO OTham tc
inspect the Lizzie with nervous care
and TO listen to the remarks Of dozen
or more disinterested acquaintance
who. having heard Of the contract, had
come down to the wharf TO prophesy
and offer advice.
Bradley called on Gus that evening
He had been so busy with Captain
Titcomb. planning and working for the
new contract. that he had seen her but
once and then only for a monet since
the night of the ball. But now, full of
hope and the triumph of having Sc
cured the chance he had longed for, he
looked forward to telling her the good
news and receiving her congratula-
tons.
The windows of the Baker 'best
parlor" were lighted up-a most unusual
occurrence-and he vaguely wondered
If they had company" and who it
might be.
Gus herself opened the door in re-

"Why. hello!" she said. 81 wonder

surprise.
..Why. of course l knew! / haven't

make it certain. Melissa called on
grandmother this afternoon, just after
she had been at your house"
Bradley smiled ruefully. You must
have heard an encouraging yarn from
her. he said. Have you got com
pany?"
"Oh. only friend Of ours that you
know. Come right into the parlor.''
He walked across the threshold of
that sacred apartment to find Sam
Hammond seated in the haircloth rock
err and looking very much at home.
Neither of the young men appeared
particularly happy at meeting the
other, but, truth to tell, Hammond was
the more self possessed
Hello. Bradv' he said easily. T've
heard nothing but you and Cap'n Ez
since breakfast. I'm glad for you; it's
a nice little job, if you can carry it
out
The contract had seemed anything
but little one to Bradley, and this
way of referring to it took
him down a bit. Hammond continued
in the same condescending way.

ReuuIatinn the Auto.

Rural communities have exhausted
the armory of weapons against auto.
mobilists, and with varying success.
The mutual feeling aroused by the
warfare has not been favorable to the
spirit of Christian affection It has
remained for Middleboro, Mass, to
adopt the gentle measure. 1t is to be
hoped the result will justify the
means, and that 1IiddIeboro will be a
safe leader in the middle way between
the Scylla of auto traps and the
Charybdis Of lightning fights Of devil
wagons" In Middleboro, says the
Troy Times, the Automobile club has
asked permission to take the matter
in hand and to meet out-of-town chauf-
feurs with a red flag and a card.
Halted by the flag, the chauffeur is
handed the card, which bears these
words: 1.-THE selectmen of Middleboro
are going to stop fast driving through
this town. Before resorting to several
permanent traps they have kindly
given the Middleboro Automobile club
permission to try and regulate this
traffic. Won't you personally help us
when going through by running not
faster than IL miles an hour? You
can go through the town at IL miles
an hour in five minutes; if you go fast
you cannot go in less than two and a
half minutes. Will you not do your
part in helping to make traps unnec-
essary in Middleboro?" If Middleboro
can make the rural constable and the
driver of the ''chug chug" vehicle
walk together in peace, it will deserve
the rewards attending at least one of
the beatitudes.

England has surrendered 524 square
miles of her territory to the waves
within the last thousand years. More
recently the advance of the waters
has been much more rapid, averaging
for the last 40 years 1923 acres a
year. The ravages of the sea in 1903
were almost unprecedented. Many
historical towns, such as Ravensburgh,
where Henry w. landed in 1889, have
been submerged. Off the Yorkshire
coast alone there are II submerged
towns and villages. Between F1am-
borough Head and Kilnsea an area
equal to that of London has been de-
voured by the waves since the Roman
invasion. The erosion here is so con-
tinuous that the outline of the coast is
never the same on two consecutive
days. There is an anchorage off Selsey,
Sussex, still called "The Park" be-
cause it was a royal deer park in the
reign of Henry VIII. The Goodwin
sands, so much dreaded by navigators,
was the 4,000-acre estate of Earl Good
win, until it was inundated by "a great
wave in 1899. In June, 1898, the sea
advanced inland 200 yards at Cromer
during single gale.
