do all In his power to have the i'm
portant work started at once.
Two Propositions Made.
Then Secretary Garfield and Direc-
tor Newell prepared for the submis-
sion to the people of Mesa county
two simple propositions, along with
a series OF important details. which
details it is deemed best not to an
nounce until later.
The people of this city and coun-
| ty are asked II they are willing for
the national government to build the
canal and desire the government to
proceed at once with the permanent
preliminary work.
II the people are not willing for
the government to proceed to bring
about the Construction of the big ca
nal. they are to say so and the gov
government will drop the project.
VIII Begin at Once.
II the people of this city and coun-
ty indicate by popular demonstIn-
ton that they desire the government
to proceed 1t is announced ON the
most reliable and authoritative infor-
nation that AT ONCE u corps OF
government engineers will be sent
to Mesa county for the purpose OF
inaugnrating, pushing and complet.
ing the permanent engineering work
on the project. These engineers will
establish their headquarters in this
city and Mr.. T.. Il. Sands will prob
ably be In charge of the work.
An one OF the most convincing cvi.

by the high officials that the govern.
merit will set aside 100000 for the
carrying on OF this permanent engi-
neering work. This big sum is to
be drawn from the regular reclama.
tion fund of the government.
Armed With Signatures.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Aupperle
returned to Grand Junction, bring
| ing the good news of the now certain
construction of the High Line canal
IL the people accept the very reason
able demands, and he came back
armed with the propositions. the de
tails and the plans OF the govern
ment In writing. papers that bear the
signatures of James II. Garfield, sec
retary of the Interior, and Frank ii
Newell. director of the United States
reclamation service.
Meetings are Arranged.
Determined TO get INTO action u,
once and show Secretary Garfield
that the people mean business, a
meeting of the Grand Valley Water
Users Association was called for this
afternoon, and at this meeting the
propositions. accompanying details,
etc. will be presented for approval
or rejection.
@. of c. Tonight.
This evening a meeting of the di-
rectors OF the Chamber OF Commerce
will be held, and Mr. Aupperle will
make his report and submit the al
important signed papers.
Mass Meeting Called.

ers' Association and the Chamber OF

tion nf asking the government tC
proceed and Jointly issue " call fol
"a mass meeting of the homesteadcr~
land owners and citizens to be held
probably Mt the Auditorium one
night this week, and before which
the report and propositions will be
laid for action.
1t Is the expressed .dcsirc Of Mr..
Garfield and Mr.. Newell that the peO-
Pile as whole make evident their
desire.
If the citizens take favorable nc.
tion Secretary Garfield will be In
formed at once by wire and the en-
gineeI's will come to Grand Junction.
IL ds truly n vitaI hour In the conn.,
tvs history.
As to the Time.
1t Is understood that In these
signed statements from Garfield and
Newell neither official will commit
himself as to Just how soon the ac-
tual construction work will begin.
Naturally they would not: but when
they say as soon as possible they are
in earnest and there is no reason to
doubt that these men are playing
fair with our people.
From what Information The Senti-
mel can secure, 1t believes that 1t
will only be matter of very short
time after the engineers get through
their work until the actual construc-
ton work is under way.
All Depends Upon Money.
The beginning of the actual con-
struction work on the canal depends
entirely upon the availability of the
f..xx d. <Sa<.snu 80
money was In hand today the work
would not be delayed another month.
The government has expended some
thing like 100000 on reclama-
ton and irrigation projects this year
from the receipts of the fiscal year
of 1905. Just how much will be
available next year from the fiscal
year of 1906 has not been announced
but the sum will be large.
Then there is a rumor current to
the effect that congress may be pre-
vailed upon to help the fund along
temporarily by loan of several mil
Hon dollars. These things, along
with some other probabilities and
circumstances not ready for public
announcement, make the outlook for
the early construction of the canal
look exceedingly good.
No Burden Imposed.
1t r. understood that the govern
ment is ready to take up the project
without imposing any heavy finan-
ciaI burdens on the people Of the
Grand valley. There will be no back
breaking costs tied upon our people
/ in return for the building OF the
great waterway.
The plans the government has laid
out do not contain provisions that
the people must return the cost OF
the construction within very short
time. As one prominent official has
expressed IL, sit is not so much the
repayment OF the funds after the
project Is completed as 1t is The

1t is evident that some people are
making every effort to hound and
persecute Officer Mahaney; but 1t Is
believed that such efforts VIII fali

generally will have no sympathy Tor
such movements.
The charges against Officer Ma
baney regarding this alleged attack

another one of the typical produc-
tions of the Morning yellow.

Sands Report Late.

1t was found that Mr.. Aupperle
had beaten the Sands report in get
ting to Washington. 1t had not ar
rived the day Mr.. Aupperle held his
first conferences with Messrs. Gar
field and Newell. However, Mr.. New
ell at once wired to the proper re-
clamation officials in Colorado to has
ten the report. but the report came
in by mail before the message hardly
had time to get to Colorado.
Many Conferences Held.
In these initial conferences with
Messrs. Garfield and Newell Secre-
tary Aupperle thoroughly went over
the situation, and 1t was soon ap-
parent to him that the two high Off
cials were themselves in pretty close
touch with the High Line canal pro-
ject, and their manner and state
ments indicated that they were ex-
ceedingly friendly to the project.
They were anxious for every bit of
reliable information.
Following the first conferences
Mr.. Aupperle met frequently with
Secretary Garfield. Director Newell,
Engineer Davis and Land Commits
sioner Ballinger. These exceedingly
busy men were very liberal in CIV
ing their time to the Grand Junction
man. thus indicating the deep In
terest they feel in the local project.
No Knockers There.
Among the high officials Mr.. Aup-
perle declares that he found not one
man Inclined to knock the High Line
canal. All seemed friendly and. as
Mr.. Aupperle put it, I'VE certainly
have some warm friends at court.
MIR. Aupperle was given every as
sistance possible by Senators Gug-
genheim and Teller. all the Colorado
congressman and other prominent Of
ficials, either through personal work
at Washington or through letters

Aupperle Returns Home.

Few people in the city knew that
D. w. Aupperle. secretary of the
Grand Junction Chamber of Com
merce, left this city for Washington
more than two weeks ago. The
Daily Sentinel was aware of Mr.. Aup-
perle's movements; but, in conjunc-
ton with the other papers OF the
city, agreed to give these movements
no publicity, believing that by such
action the welfare of the project so
dear and near to the hearts of the
people would best be safeguarded.
Purpose of Visit.
Mr.. Aupperle went to Washington
to be on the ground when the re
port of E. E. Sands of the Reclama-
ton service, as to the feasibility OF
the High Line canal project, his re-
view of the various surveys made
his recommendations in the matter,
etc. reached Secretary Garfield oil
the national department of the in
terror. The announcement was MADE
MANY weeks ago by The Daily Sen
tinel to the effect that Mr.. Sands was
III the valley gathering this intorma-
ton and preparing this report at tne
special request OF Secretary Garne,a'
1t was generally believed by the 10
cal Chamber of Commerce that TINS

able to the project. and II was pc
lieved that If responsfpie pc, ,soi

port arrived some most eneu.iae
work could be done for the prolect.

availability of the funds to do the
work, that holds the attention of the
government
What II VIII Cost.
According to Engineer Sands re-
port 1t is estimated that the High
Line canal will cost about $4,000
900, although Mr.. Sands himself ad-
mits that this figure may be several
hundred thousand dollars high. The
project is not difficult one and car
be completed within period of from
IA to Is months. It has often been
pronounced by government officials
as one of the most reasonable and
worthy propositions ever called to
the attention of the reclamation SER
vice.
The Visit Did Much.
There Is no question but what the
visit, even If 1t was brief. that Sec
retary Garfield made to Grand Juno
ton last summer, was n great help
toward pushing the affairs to a cli-
max. There Is no question but what
Mr.. Garfield was most favorably i'm
pressed and has taken a deep, per-
sonal interest in the project. His
conferences with Mr.. Aupperle at
Washington easily proved this. The
work of the land convention in Den
yer was resultful. These things. with
the many important "licks" that
have been made by Grand Junction s
public spirited citizens each year for
nearly a score of years, are bringing
in the harvest now.
II is Certainly Assured.
From the information given above,
from the developments that have
been detailed and from the worth
of much Information now In hand
but not ready for publication, 1t is
easy for any person to reach the con-
clusion that the High Line canal Is
now absolutely assured and that by
government construction. There can
be no doubt as to what action the
Water Users Association. the Cham
ber of Commerce and the mass meet
ing of citizens will take.
The mighty boon, the long desired
prize, is within our reach and 1t Is
now a matter of only a short time
until more than $4,000 acres of the
finest land in the country. now un-
cultivated because of lack of water.
will be placed under the magic touch
of irrigation. through the building of
the High Line canal. and will bloom
as the plains of Sharon. With this
vast increase in productive acreage
will come natural and mighty in
crease in population, III property val
uation, in Importance. in Develop
ment and in prosperity.
To those loyal citizens who have
struggled for years for this canal,
never losing faith nor giving up the
fight, to the activity of live Cham
ber of Commerce. to the efforts of
friendly officials and to the willing
ness of the "men high up" to grasp
the great need and feasibility of a
developing project. will be due the
credit for the realization of Mesa
county and Grand functions fondest
