OUR ENEMIES WILL WIN

Denver, March 3O.-(SpeciaD -
There were three sessions of the state
senate yesterday, the last holding un.
til midnight.
Grand Junction is now almost cer-
tain not to get n normal school. Every
effort was made yesterday to kill the
two bills providing n school for Grand
Junction and the one for Durango.
The two bills We're placed mt the very
end of the calendar and although Sem
ator DeLong made a hard fight yes
terday afternoon to bring the bill up
Senator Taylor and his cohorts sue
ceded in blocking his efforts. Another
attempt by Senator De Long to get
the bill up last night failed.
When the last session ended last
night n great host of bills were on
the calendar ahead of the two normal
school bills and there is little proba-
bility that the tive measures will ever
be reached. They are considered
practically killed.
The fiat tax bill affecting corpora
tions was given final passageyester-
day as was the Wilder 100000 war
debt bill. The latter infamous bill
passed the senate by strictly party
vote, 20 Republicans to IL Democrats.
The anti-fusion bill, Republican
partisan measure, became law by
final passage.
Both the senate and the house pass
ed many other measures of less I'M
portance.
Monday the Legislature holds its
last session.
Governor Buchtel signed the long
appropriation bill, carrying nearly 81,
600, 900 yesterday.

NOT so COLD
But SNIUDGING DONE

For two hours during the latter
part of the night il looked as IL the
temperature in and around Grand
Junction, at Fruitvale, Clifton, Or
chard Mesa and the Fruit Ridges,
would get very dangerously low.
The weather station was open all
night. About g.: 80 a m. the tenn
perature having dropped considerably
1t was thought best to send out a gem
eral alarm, the fire bell, light plant
whistle and the telephones were en-
ployed in doing this. Soon the smudg-
es were burning In all sections of
the valley, and the work was effective
as usual.
However 1t did not get as cold as
on the night before. The lowest tenn
perature recorded here was 80 de-
grees. A breeze kept up in the Pail
sade country all night and the lowest
registration there was 80 degrees
shortly before six o'clock this morn
ing. The fruit growers up there were
on the watch all night
The lowest temperature reported
to the weather office during the night
or early in the morning was &c de-
grees at Fruitvale. AS far as is
known 1t got no lower than this in
any of the fruit districts last night
No damage whatever was done to
the fruit last night.
1t is believed that 1t will be con-
siderably warmer tonight than last
night. Fair tonight and Sunday, ris-
ing temperature, is the forecast.
The maximum temperature In
Grand Junction yesterday was SO de-
grees. The minimum this morning
was 81 degrees.
High pressure and fair, cool wea-
ther, still prevails over the west. The
crest of the HIGH appears over S.
Dakota and desert Montana. with a
gradual decrease thence to the south
ward to Southern California.
The temperature has risen slight
ly at most of the stations from which
reports are received.
The indications for this locality
are for fair weather during the en-
suing SO hours, with rising tempera-
lures.

scription of Smith, this description
tailed with that of the young stran-
ger. The under sheriff then deputiz-
ed Mr.. Munson to arrest and hold the
stranger until he could reach Clifton
on train No. G which was delayed.
1t was learned that the young man
had met Frank Cogswell, a ranch
man, near the outskirts of Grand
Junction, about one o'clock in the af-
ternoon driving toward his home at
Clifton. The young fellow asked for
a ride. He rode with Cogswell to
within a mile of Clifton when ne
left Cogswell and rode into Clifton
with Jim Shriyer, the Hugus and
company delivery man.
After being deputized to arrest the
stranger Munson waited at the store
while Mr.. Green went out to see If
he could see anything of the stranger
He found him at the Hornbaker Bros.
store and came back and informed
Munson who went over to the Horn
baker store being armed with a .3S
calibre revolver which Green had
borrowed for him. Munson found
the stranger who was none other than
young Smith, at the telephone. He
had just asked: "How is No g." Mr..
Munson has his gun in his coat pock-
ct. Going up to Smith he said,
Come with me l must hold you until
an officer comes here" "All right, all
right" answered the young man and
made no objection to being searched.
He was searched very carelessly and
no weapon was located. With the
prisoner between them Mr. Munson
and Mr.. Green started back to the
Hugus store, however Mr.. Green walk
ed in advance, Smith had a candle
lantern in his hand with which he

The BENJAMIN Franklin Request.

One hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin
gave to the city of Boston the sum of $5,oOO
directing that the money should accumulate
for a century and then be applied to the aid
of apprentices Franklin himself had been
an apprentice; and he appreciated the i'm
mense benefit to a young man starting out IN
life, of help given him then.
But, since Franklin's day, Our industrial
system has undergone such changes that we
no longer have any class of struggling begin
ners who come under the name of apprentices.
The fund which has been accumulating for
100 years is row 100000. With that amount
invested at per cent, as could readily be
done, there would be perpetual fund OF
$4,000 to lend to young men. The greater
number of young men thus aided would repay
the money, after they got started for them
selves. Thus the Franklin bequest would
grow from generation to generation foun-
tain of wise benevolence and human helpful
ness, doing vast amount of good to the end
of time.
Benjamin Franklin so intended when he
gave the original five thousand dollars.
Now, what do you suppose that the idiotic
Miss Nancys and Molly-coddles who had the
control of the matter have decided to do with
that money?
Why, they are going to erect memorial to
Franklin!
The trustees have already spent 100000
in Buying one of the ugiest lots on the face
