CANAL FOR GRAND VALLEY.
Will Cost a Million and Half and
Reclaim 10000 Acres.

Will Cost a Million and a Half and
Reclaim 10000 Acres.
Grand Junction.-That the United
States government will construct a
81 100000 high line canal to reclaim
10000 acres of arabic land in the
Grand valley adjoining Grand juno
tion, is the announcement made by E.
w. Aupperle, secretary Of the local
chamber of commerce, who has just
returned from Washington, where he
was in conference for a week with
Secretary Of the Interior Garfield.
The decision of the government to
construct this great irrigation system
comes as the result of nearly twenty
years Of untlring effort and applica-
ton on the part of the people Of Grand
Junction. The campaign to secure
federal cooperation was renewed
with vigor last spring, even to the Sc
curing of Secretary Garfeld's own per-
sonal survey of the local situation. A
special visit was arranged last sum-
mer, whereby the secretary of the in
terror was enabled to view the at
fractions and possibilities Of the Grand
valley and to estimate the advantage
of high line canal
The result of all this effort now cul-
inmates in the announcement that the
government will build the big ditch at
an early date. And as evidence Of
its good faith $4,000 has been set
apart for the purpose of Immediately
establishing an engineers headQuar-
ters here.
The canal will have It's headgate
under the shadows of Mt. Garfield.
which was named after the secretary's s
honored father, and will skirt the base
Of the mountain for about fifteen
miles, bringing over 10000 acres un-
der irrigation.
G. E. Sands, constructing engineer.
who is now supervising the work on
the Gunnison tunnel, will have charge
Of the survey which will be COM
menced as soon as preliminaries can
be arranged. AS the direct result OF
the governments decision conserva-
tive citizens declare that the popula-
tion of this city will be more than
doubled in less than five years and
that within that time the broad acres
now lying desolate will become the
home of at least 10000 families.
The report of the governments de-
cision went through the city like wild
fire. Dignified citizens met each other
on the street and embraced, SO great
was their thankfuness. No event in
the history Of Grand Junction can COM
pare with importance with the de.
cision to build the canal

May Trade for State Lands.

Denver.-In the opinion of the at
torney general the state may sell
lands for other tnan cash remunera-
tions. The State Land Board some time
ago consulted Attorney General w. H.
Dickson On this point and yesterday
the opinion was handed down by
Ralph Talbot
The case in point was that of the
La Jara Meadows Land & Reservoir
Company, which wishes to secure lat
acres of the state land in southern
Colorado. 1t is said that water rights
would in many cases be more advan-
tageous for the state in the sale Of
public lands than cash. and it is prob
able that many sales will now be
made in exchange for water rights.

Tallmadge Acquitted.

Roswell, N. M.-When the jury re.
turned a verdict Of not guilty in the
case of B. H. Tallmadge of Denver,
charged with making fraudulent land
entries. the defendant was literally
showered with congratulations. Tall
madge was not surprised at the YER
dict, as he has stoutly maintained
since his indictment two years ago
that he was innocent. and at the last
term Of court pleaded for trial in or
der that the Tallmadge company
could resume operations. Among the
messages OF congratulation received
was one from Hon. A. NJ. Stevenson
OF Denver.

RoUT COUNTY COAL RAILROAD.
Makes Application for Right Of Way
Across School Lands.

Denver.-Application has been made
to the State Land Board for right of
way over 159 acres of some OF the rich
est coal land in Colorado by the Colo
RADIO & Northern Railroad Company.
The company plans to build line of
thirty miles from Hayden, station on
the Moffat road, in Routt county,
through the anthracite coal fields of
that section and California peak, end
ing at Sand Mountain pass. Later, it
is contemplated to build an extension
through the Hahn's Peak District.
DR.. A. A. Johnson, superintendent
Of the mineral department of the State
Land Office, Is vice president and gen.
eral manager OF the company. He ap-
praised the land as being worth $3.50
an acre and that was the price for which
the board is asked to sell the 159
acres. DR.. Johnson explained that the
necessary rights of way over govern
ment territory had been secured free
because of the important and rich coal
region the line would open. The ap
plication did not state whether the sale
would be outright or not. The board
expressed itself as being unwilling to
dispose of such valuable coal land and
action on the matter was postponed
until the attorney general could inves-
tigate. The benefits accruing from the
line are plain to the board and the
probabilities are that the board will
sell the surface rights at the figure Of
fered, reserving the rights to the min
eral deposits.
The Colorado & Northern Railroad
company was incorporated year ago
with capitalization Of $1,000,000. The
1 L.. Hf
rights granted in 1880 to Calvin S.
Brice. Samuel Thomas and other big
eastern magnates to build a line
through Routt county.
The officers of the company are B.

A. Johnson, vice president; directors,

ment from the presence of his wife
and three daughters, aged 9, and 2
years, Charles j. Pigsler. thirty.three

ent and Protective Order OF Elks and

family, from Marysville. Missouri,
where he had been deputy sheriff,
in the hope that a change OF climate
would benefit him. In his weakness
he partook Of stimulants to excess.
1t is said. and this, with the altitude
and inherited wasting disease, caused
him to become temporarily deranged.

scarcity of currency was given at the

a business apparently unaffected by
the currency strlngency. A leading
coal company sent TO the management

that they had been offered twenty per

while the people of the territory will wish that the coming legislative session will make record for secon- omy none win desire, that any. of the public institutions Ashsa be neglected. Especially should there be liberaiity in providing for the needs of the ani- versity. the normal schools and the industrial school These instiertions have been put on a creeitable footing and brought to Arizona praise from all who have become acquainted with them and they should be made better with every coming year. The great necessity at the industrial school now Is that provision should be made for manual training for the children who are sent there for care and reforma- ton. For this 1t will not require a large amount. One or two competent instructors with work benches and tools will be sufficient for a begin ming in this direction. The legisla- ture should see that our public insti. tutions are kept at the highest mark of efficiency.

BRYAN IS A POLITICAL WONDER.

A New York correspondent thus writes of the past political career of William Jennings Bryan and its prob able fuosre:
 "The announcement from the west to the effect that William Jennings ryan. when asked whether he had ecided to become candidate for the residential nomination in 1908, re
 jed that he had never promised that
 would not be g candidate in 1908. certain circles in this city is re .,arded as meaning that Bryaa will be nominated. And some of his enthus- iastic followers are already declaring that he will be nominated.
 When the history of this country shall have been written the hold of William Jennings Bryan on the rank and file of the democratic party will be regarded as one of the most pecul- jar things in American politics. And this is true no matter whether the man is to be nominated in 1903 or not-no matter whether he is elected or not.
 Tt is now ten years since he first flashed big and large upon the polit ical horizon of this country in con nection with the Chicago convention of 1896. Ever since that time, with out money, without patronage, he has held in line a greater number of rad icaI followers than have ever before enlisted under tn bannr of any man. And your true radical is difficult man to hold in line. But with only little country weekly at his back he has nevertheless challenged the admira- tion of politicians of all parties.
 "Gold standard or silver standard or diamond standard-any old stand ard for that matter-it would begin to appear as though William Jennings Bryan had more political lives than a cat. It was supposed at the time oi the holding of the St. Louis conven tion when the political machinery oi a great party had forced him to bow to the party will that Mir. Bryan would never again be heard of. Yet he re turned from Europe stronger in the hearts of the people than ever before After his famous Madison Square gar den speech in which he declared fol government ownership of the rail roads of the country in theory at leasf if not in practice tEs practical poll ticians of the country almost withou exception declared ~Bryan's been ana gone and done it again" EYerywher' it was supposed that he would nevel be heard of again. Yet once again h' looms up big and largo On the preai dential horizon as possibility if no probability"

MARIE CAHILL.

Isiarie Cahill has scored an early season
 hit in Marrying Mary at Daly's thea
 ter. New York. She sings pieasingly
 several attractive songs, and the play
 acceptable. Marrying Mary Is a mu-
 sical comedy with a genuine story, a
 plot that can be foilowed.l
 cred in a Yiddlsh theater in New York. At the behest of her American man. agers she studied the English language, and her tour in ''Monna Vanna," under the direction of Harrison Grey Fiske, husband of Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske. has been a series of oYations. But she did not drain the Yiddish stage dry Ellis Glickman and his company have left their Chicago theater and have played Yiddlsh plays westward to San Francisco. Mir. Glickman's "Shylock" In Yiddish was a wonderful creation. There is also the Thalia Theater CNew York company that presents master pieces in Yiddish. ..
 Chicago is familiar with the good work that the Wachsner company of Milwaukee accomplishes Sunday nights at Powers theater in German. It was this company, acting under the auspices of MT. Weyer, the German consul in Chicago, and the German department of the University of Chicago, that first gave Chicago theater goers an oppor- tunity of seeing the Schiller master works. There are other companies in the country that play exclusively in the German tongue.
 The Russian players that came to this country this season created fine impression among the critical and they will return to these shores later, play, ing, as they did this time, in the Rus sian language. A company of Japa nese actors has landed In San Francisco and will play through the country. This experiment was tried by prom inent Japanese actress some years ago, but failed because at that time there did not exist in this country sufficient interest In the Japanese as a nation The war has changed this.
 The part the French have had In de- yeloping the artistic tastes of Amer ican theater goers is known by every body. Sarah Bernhardt, of course, comes first. Mime. Rejane has had success here, notably in "Sans Gene" and we have had Coquelin. Guilbert, Jane Hading and other famous French players. Holland this year has given us Henri de Vries, the proteap actor, who in his play, played in Dutch, im- personated six distinct characters with great success and set an example that has been followed in English by Will Ham Courtleigh, Margaret Wycherly and others.
 Duse and the SaIvinis have come to us from the Italian theaters, and in New York permanent dramatic or" ganization that viii play only fin Ital- ian has been organized.
 It is easily seen that 1t is in the United States and not In any other country that the seeker must seek for the most cosmopolitan stage in the world. ROBERT BUTLER.

Bradstreet's summary of industrial conditions for the past year says: 'Concisely stated, 1906 saw very fay- orable crop yields and record values of other farm products; unprecedent- ed activity in all kinds of mining ex- cept coal; enormous outputs of pre- cious metals; land speculation as- stunned enormous proportions; build ing activity su-passing the wonderful record of 1905; unprecedented totals of foreign trade; an unparalleled i'm migration; surpassing totals of clear ings and railway earnings; employ ment active and labor scarce as nev- CT before: record volume of the otr- culating medium-moncy-pruying d. together inadequate for business pur- poses, and finally, and what is per. haps the most remarkable develop ment of all, the reaching in a time of profound worlds peace, of a wartime level of prices of commodities, with out the slightest apparent effect upon demand, which, throughout the year, pressed hotly upon supply and caused from the beginning of the year to its close general complaints of the back. ward deliveries of goods.

This paper desires to see the com ing legislature enact a primary law which shall be less expensive and al so more effective in it's results. When a man is invited to vote at a primary he should vote direct for the candi- date instead of for delegates to con vention. The present primary cleo tion law in this territory is very poor excuse as a system of allowing the people to choose their party candi- dates fer office.
