COLORADO FRUIT BRINGS MONEY
Grand Junction Product Not ExeeIIed
In the World.

Denver.-Grand Junction. the much
heralded fruit center Of the western
slope, has had wonderful har-
vest OF fruit of every description
this season, and the fruit growers
paid several thousands of dollars
al the returns on the first ten cars of
Grand valley contaloupes shipped dur
ing the season. The prices obtained
for the fruit were remarkable, the
standard grade bringing $1.05 per
crate, jumboes 80 cents a crate. ponies
Il cents and gems 70 cents a crate.
For the ten cars total Of $3,27S.90 was
paid the growers. These prices. good
as they were, have been surpassed
since the first cars were sent
out, and the standard cantaloupes
sold this month for $1.0s to the
crate. the jumboes "a cents. po-
MES Al cents and the pink gems SIS
cents per crate. The vast majority OF
the shipments are made to New York
and Chicago and the markets in the
great cities are more than willing to
pay tho best prices for the Grand juno
ton fruit. At the present time the
shipping season Is near its end and the
Grand Junction Fruit Growers asso-
citation shipped out its last car a week
ago.
Nor are cantaloupes the only fruit
which has seen the best of prices paid
for 1t In Grand Junction. Fourteen cars
of pears shipped out OF Grand juno
tion in September netted the sum OF
$23,S74 to the growers. This shows an
average Of $1,705 for every car. and
the average prices paid for four-tier
pears was 1895 a crate, for ive-tier
pears $3.50, for six-tier pears $2.75. and
for choice pears $3.50. All OF these
pears were of the Buerre d'Anjou va
riety. or the fourteen cars, six went
to Chicago six to New York, and two
to Philadelphia.
Encouraging prices were likewise
paid to the growers for apples.
Together with Rocky Ford, Grand
Junction enjoys the distinction OF be-
Ing the great fruit center OF Colorado,
and the rivalry between the two towns
to see which shall make the largest
and most profitable sales Is keen. II Is
said that the land on which the fruit
Is grown 10 advancing most rapidly,
and in some parts OF the country about
Rocky Ford and Grand Junction the
land can not be bought at all. or only
for exorbitant prices. The horticultural
department OF tho state is In receipt Of
hundreds OF letters monthly. seeking in
formation from all parts of the world
regarding the great opportunities to be
found in gruit growing on the western
slope OF Colorado. The towns in the
center Of the fruit districts are enjoy
Ing a steady and continuous growth,
and the re ources OF the country have
only begun to be developed. There is
much Of the land in western parts OF
the state on which irrigation
facilities are lacking, and It Ia said that
when all OF the possible fruit land in
Colorado is under cultivation. this state
will be- second only to California ~ .
iuit producing land.

NEW ROAD TO COAST SURE.
Everybody is Helping Push Along the

Denver.-Quietly but steadily the
men who are financing and promoting
the affairs Of the new Denver, Lara.
mie G. Northwestern railway, which
will stretch its tracks from Denver
to Fort Collins, then through Fish
creek canon to Laramie and Lander,
Wyoming. and eventually on through
to Seattle on the Pacific coast, are
at work and eveiy day sees the pro-
ject which will mean much to Denver
nearer consumr,ation. The different
rights of way have practically been
secured all along the line, say the men
at the head. and actual work on the
construction of the new trunk line
is but q few months off,
I'VE are more than gratified with
the progress Of our work in Denver
and in fact all through the northern
portion Of the state" said c. S. John
son, president of the new road yester
day. THE people of this state are
rallying to our support in splendid
style. There are no Ifs about our
proposition. The new road will be
built and will be built much sooner
than most people have any idea. Nee
essarily in work of such magnitude
as ours; progress, especially in the
earlier stages, must seem somewhat
slow. But in railroad building as in
everything else much depends in the
kind of foundation. We are laying
our foundation well and deep.
THE splendid endorsement of our
work given to the officers and direc-
tors of the road by the Denver cham
Der OF commerce was especially graft
flying and will have much to do with
speeding the time when actual work
on the road will be begun. We af
forded the chamber of commerce COM
mittee every opportunity to examine
thoroughly our plan of operation and
the fact that it received such hearty
support from them is source Of
much qualification to u.s."
The building of the Denver, La
ramie & Northwestern means men
and money for Colorado and the ef-
fects Of the preliminary work along
these lines already have been felt.
All Of the active workers in the new
enterprise are now numbered as resi-
dents of the state. Last week w. H.
Gates, formerly clerk of the Court Of
Appeals OF Kansas, and afterward a
prominent oil producer and promin-
emily identified with the extension of
the telephone syatems of that state,
took up his residence in Denver pur-
chasing a home ut 1435 Fillmore
street. He is interested in the new
road.
The people of Kansas are, like the
people of Colorado, becoming much in
terested in the road. Every week a
large number OF Kansas people visit
Colorado and Wyoming to look over
the work that has been done and to
satisfy themselves as to existing con.
dtions. E. E. Frizell, mayor of Lar
ned. Kansas. and his brother-in-law
H. NJ. Hollway. were in Denver last
week. Among other Kansas people
who recently have become interested
are: Miller Dobin, president of the
Viola State bank. Viola E. F. Holmes

Burton State bank. Burton, and Her

THE TALE OF A GOAT.
F~innerty's Pet Ate Haggerty's 500, with
No Kick About Tainted Money.

Here's a nature Jake from Great
Notch concerning Finnerty's goat:
The Finnertys and the family of
Thomas Haggerty. as well as the Fin
nerty goat, are neighbors, and have
lived in the quiet solitude of Great
Notch for many years. They have al
ways been good friends, and are yet,
although it looked for a time yesterday
as if strained relations would result.
Mrs. Haggerty recently took her hus-
bands Sunday trousers, busted them
and hung them out. Strange to say,
Mrs. Haggerty is more trusting than
the majority of womankind. She did
not Ego through" the pockets, and
therein lies the tale of a goat-F1n-
Eerty's goat.
The goat paid it's usua visit to Hag-
gerty's yard yesterday morning, spied
the trousers and stealthily approached
them. In one Of the rear pockets were
five ten-dollar bills. The goat pried it's
nose into the aforesaid pocket, ex-
tracted the bills, and made a meal of
them, with never a word about tainted
Money.
When Finnarty heard about his
goats extravaganza he killed the ami
nal. The money will be sent to the
Treasury Department for redemption.

One of the best productions that has APP
peared at Waldmann's Theatre this season
is Fred twins Big Show. The chorus is
replete with pretty girls who nave fine
figures and sing exceptionally well. The
opening b%urletta. The Great White Way"
Is very interesting, and the costuming and
scenic effects are something rare in the
burlesque line.
The ohio furnishes a list of good special
ties, opening with Campbell and Kenny,
eccentric singing and dancing comedians,
whose act is well received. Walsh, Lynch
and company, in a one-act melodramatic
comedy, called "Huckin's Run make a
great hit. Billy Walsh's singing and act
ing In this little sketch is worth going to
see, and Miss Frances Hopper and Frank
Lynch are clever In their roles. The
Weston Sisters, who dance and sing, will
get a great hand" Brady and Mahony,
in a new sketch, The Hebrew Fireman
n the Foreman are funny.
The program closes with a skit entitled
The Actors Club" in which appear the
three Bennett Sisters, in fencing, boxing
and wrestling. They are clever in all
three arts and show exceptional skill on
the mat.

GETS MISSION AND WIFE.
P~lainfield Minister Is Now Ready to Sail
for Turkish Field.

PLAINFIBLD, Oct. 22.-The Rev. P. B
Kennedy, of this city, will sail for Turkey
tomorrow to take up at Monastir the
work for the Presbyterian Church which
was laid down by his wife's parents three
years ago, when they were recalled from
that field after twenty-five years service.
(One requisite for the Rev. Mr.. Kennedy
before he could go as a missionary was to
have a wife, and another that the board
have a fund Of $25, 900 for his support.
When Mr.. Kennedy was ordained as n
minister, in 1887, he wanted to go to the
foreign field. He was single, and the mis-
sionary board had not the $500 to set
apart for this field. Mr.. Kennedy went to
the coal regions In Pennsylvania, and had
a great success as a pastor there. Then
he took a pastorate al Easton, Pa, and
remained several years. Meanwhile the
fund of $4,000 was subscribed, but he had
no wife. Some time ago he married Miss
Bond, the daughter of the Rev. and Mrs.
Lewis Bond, of this city, who were mis-
~sionaries in Monastir, Bulgaria, for a quar-
ter of a century, and who returned here
and retired three years ago. Mrs. Kennedy
was born in Turkey and knows the Ian
guage perfectly.

Proctor's-yaudeviIle.

One OF the best shows this season at
Proctor's Theatre is presented there this
week. Last nights crowded house found
much amusement and enjoyment in prac-
tically all the offerings, judging from the
laughter and applause. The top liners
were first class (Which all top liners are
not) and the other liners were not poor
(Which many of them sometimes are).
Nearly every act went with a snap and
vim along the best Proctor lines.
It's a toss-up in describing the three prin-
cipal attractions, namely, Edwin Arden,
Miss Bijou Fernandez and company in
Mr.. Edwin Arden's playlet, Captain Vel
vet;'' Ned Wayburn's sid Show" and
Jesse L. Laskey's 'aThe Planophiends."
Each completely satisfied different tastes.
From a Legitimate standpoint Captain
Velvet gave Miss Fernandez, who will
be remembered here from her perform
ance last year in the leading feminine
role of Bernard Shaw's Man and Super
man." and was previously with Arnold
Days company, an opportunity TO dis
play her ability as a capable actress and
provided a strong scene in which Mr..
Arden shared in a realistic portrayal.
The piece was somewhat melodramatic,
with guns in sight or waiting outside to
do murder, but it was all so well acted
INIT II was HIteu out OF the EDlO0u ana
thunder" category. Briefly, it tells how
Conchr Devervaux, living on a ranch in
lower California, on the Mexican border,
learned from Juan Lobos, a bandit, that
the murderer of the man whom she was
to marry was Captain Velvet, leader Of
the pand, and how she laid a trap to
have Velvet killed by Lobos or his pal
when the captain called that night, pro-
vided she found that he was actually the
murderer. Velvet acknowledged the muir
der and revealed his reason, aging that
he had searched for the man for months
because he had ruined his sister. The girl,
Mortified by the disclosure, repents of the
plans she had laid to have Velvet shot,
especially after he has shown that he
loves her. and the curtain goes down
with the death O.. Lobos instead of the
avepge Miss Fernandez was convincing
throughout in a part which demanded
strength In emotional acting, and Mr..
Arden did his work well, too. The stage
setting showed the interior of the ranch
house, done in Spanish style.

CoIumbia-"FrOm Broadway to t
Bowery.o

From Broadway to the Bowery" was
played yesterday at the Columbia Theatre
by a company of twenty-five people, in
Guiding Chuck Connors, of Chinatown
fame.
The plot, as developed by Hal Reid, re-
lates the troubles of James Vincent, a
New York multi-millionaire. who sees his
fortune swept away because Jonathan Hill,
the villain in the case, gives him a false
tip on mining stock, with the Idea of re-
ducing the old gentleman and his daughter,
Violet. to poverty, and thus compelling
the latter's unwilling consent to be his
wife. But the girl remains faithful to her
true love, Harry Hamilton, and Jonathan
brides Marie Deschapelle, his secretary, to
make a false entry in his books and accuse
the young man of embezzlement.
Violet's father takes to drink of the
strong Bowery brand. She goes to work
in a box factory. The determined Jona-
than buys the box factory, so he can dis
charge the object of his unwelcome atten-
ions unless she will bend to his will. His
scheme fails to work, n he fnds the
With persistence worthy a better cause,
the enraptured gentleman abducts Violet,
and later makes her daddy a prisoner in
an opium den to force him to sell his APP
parently worthless mining stock, having
private information to the effect that ii

margin. While he hasn't the appearance
of being able to rescue much, Harry shows
up at the right moment, rescues Mr.. Vim
cent, and provides a conventionally happy
ending to the family difficulties.
"Chuck" Connors, as himself, disap-
pointed those who expected him to show
Newarkers a new way of speaking Eng
lish. His acting was good enough. but
his Bowery accent didn't thrill as expected.
Marion Lenoard, representing Violet, was
an unusually effective p~opular-priced stage
heroine. 1t might be profitable for certain
New York managers to come out here and
have a look at her before she gets further
away.
