SUNDAY BASEBALL.

The supreme court of the state of
of New York last year decided that
Sunday baseball contests in New
York City and Brooklyn are entirely
within the law.
In our humble opinion, the deci-
sion of the supreme court was wise
one. Baseball is a clean, manly
game; and no one can be harmed
morally or physically by witnessing
well-played contest.
We do not see why baseball should
not be played on Sunday. Large
numbers of our young men and boys
employed in offices must play on that
day il at all; and we do not think
this splendid eXercise-for such it
is-should be denied them.
A great many of the clergymen of
New York are in favor of Sunday
baseball instead of something worse,
and the same thing can be said of
most of the ministers of Denver.
Those who have ample leisure on
week days are about the only ones
who disapprove of the Sunday base
ball game. The men whose only time
for rest and recreation is on Sunday
feel that the Sabbath was made for
man and that healthy exercise in no
way desecrates the day. Better for
the young men and boys that they
watch ball game or take part in
one on Sunday afternoon than that
they spend the day in Prospect
Heights.-Canon City Cannon.

BACK FROM BIG TRIP

Mr.. n. /. Nearing formerly pro-
prietor of the La Court hotel in this
city, was an arrival last night and
will spend a month in the city with
his sister Mrs. T. NJ. Conway. Mr..
Nearing has Travelled over a great
portion of the continent since he
left here in May. After spending
some time in Seattle he made a trip
down through California and the
southwest and south to New Orleans.
In the latter city he took passage on
one of the big steamers owned by the
Southern Pacific, for New York City,
reaching the metropolis after an ocean
voyage of seven days duration. At
ter spendit some time in New York
and other eastern cities Mr.. Nearing
returned to the west. He states that
in all his travels over the country
he found no section of the country
that looked quite so prosperous as
Grand Junction and the Grand Valley.
The northwest is great country but
in climate, business possibilities and
natural resources he things that II
does not begin to compare with Colo

three months nearly half the states

cided where he will make his perman-
ent future home but will probably To-

DURANGO is COMING
MANY HUNDRED STRONG
Reports from all Over the State In
dicate That Great Crowds
OF Woodmen Coming.

As rapidly as possible the arrange
ments for Modern Woodman Day at
the Mesa county fair, are being COM
pleted and every day the indications
that the affair will be the most sue
cessful of its kind ever held in west
ern Colorado become brighter.
Yesterday a letter was received
from Durango stating that the Mod
ern Woodmen of that city had al
ready made arrangements for spec
ial train to Grand Junction on Wood
men Day, September 25th, and will
bring with them their famous drill
team and a concert band. 1t is said
that the train will pick up great dele
cations at Silverton Rico and Tel
luride and when the train reaches
Grand Junction it will probably be
running in several sections and will
bring not less than 1000 visitors.
Letters from other camps through
out the state tell of the coming of
specials which will be run from every
section of Colorado.
The plans of the committee for
the entertainment of the thousands
of expected visitors are going ahead
in fine shape. The visitors will be
shown the time of their lives.
Modern Woodman day at the coun-
ty fair will be a great thing for Grand
Junction and the valley. 1t will be
one of the best and most effective
advertisements the valley and city
has ever had.

the cradle of the great free school

OF the honorable court Of Cahokia'
to allow them to hold their first pub,
lie school in the courthouse. The old
courthouse, said to be the oldest in
the west, IL now situated on Wooded

The old document. which fixes the
time Of the founding Of the Illinois
schools, was discovered a few weeks
ago after it had been hidden from
human eyes for almost 100 years. 1t
Is written in French. Translated II
reads as follows:
ITO the Honorable Gentlemen. the
Judges OF the Honorable Court of
Cahokia:
The inhabitants of the parish of
the Holy Family Of Cahokia have the
honor to express to you at their as.
sembly that they have the desire to
establish a school in the said parish

children.
"As they are obliged to do many
necessary public works in the parish,
they cannot at once undertake the
construction Of building necessary
to hold the said school, SO these rep.
resentatives ask you gentlemen that
you allow them to hold the said
school in your audience room Of the
courthouse until they construct a
building which will oblige all the in.
habitants whose children have their
instruction in the school. and in
which case should there arise any
DETACHMENT OF the said audience
room, they will leave it in the best
condition which you judge necessary
and proper.
That is why they supplicate You
to accord them this request as being
necessary for the public good. In
this cause they submit themselves to
your good will and have the honor
to be, very respectfully.

dent servants. Louis Sebrun.
