THE CORN CROP is
WORTH OVER BILLION

The government report, which was
issued yesterday, shows that corn is
the king of all grains and the value
of the crop raised in the United
States totals the enormous amout of
s1.941 ,S96, 600. while wheat will on
ly bring in the neighborhood of
S65S, 100000. These estimates are
based upon price of rs cents for
corn at Chicago and 81 for wheat.
The governments figures for the
yield of corn are 2,4S9, 100000 in
1907, with crop of 2,450. 900, 900
bushels, and figuring at Ga cents.
which was the price for contract
corn a year ago today, the value of
the 1907 crop was $1,56S, 900. 900.
In the bumper year OF 1906, when
we raised 2,927, 10000 bushels, the
market price for the same day as to-
day two years ago, was a5 cents. and
the value of the crop was S1,317, ,336,-
900. =. =. ..
The crop OF Iowa for this year is
estimated at 290. 100000 bushels, and
based upon the Chicago price of rs
cents. is worth to the farmers of To-
wa the sum of S226. 100000. In 1907
Iowa raised 267 100000 and was
worth $40, 900. In 1906. with
crop of 373 .OOO.O0 bushels, it was
worth but s16T 100000.

COLLECTED TAG DAY

Tag Day" was certainly great
success in Grand junction. When
tbe final count of the collections
gathered by the fifty or more girls
and ladies OF st. Matthews church,
was made ON Saturday night, il was
found that the sum of SCI. 90 had
been contributed by hundreds of peo-
pie who were approached during the
day and evening.
Miss Mildred Adams, daughter of
MIR. and Mrs. Orson Adams, made the
biggest individual collection. She Sc
cured Il total of over $4,000 during
the day.
This neat sum is II goodly starter
for the fund for ST. Matthews hos

THE LABOR
MEN KNOW

In the October number of The
Typographical journal, just received
in Grand junction today, the large
magazine which stands as the official
organ for the scores of thousands of
union printers throughout the coun-
try and which magazine does not deal
in partisan politics to any extent
whatever, there appears an editorial
news item that shows couclusively
where Governor Charles n. Haskell,
of Oklahoma, stands on the labor
union question, and gives the lie to
the attacks made on Gov. Haskell by
President Roosevelt and other enc
mics in regard to his dealings with
union labor.
Here is the article from this great
journal of labor and trade:
Governor Haskell. of oklahoma,
as chairman of the state textbook
commission, has Cancelled. the con-
tracts of Scott, Foresm;ta X Co. and
Allen n Bacon, two of the firms
which were successful bidders in the
recent award of contracts for furnish
ing textbooks for the public schools
of that state. The concerns named
were unable to fulfil the union labor
provisions of the agreements, and in
consequence lost the work, which
amounts TO hundreds OF thousands of
dollars yearly. Most of the large pub
fishers OF textbooks are known for
their hostility to the typographical
union, but few blows such as that
delivered by Oklahoma's governor
may have the effect OF forcing them
to take n different view of labor con-
ditions.'-

BIG CROWD
HEARD THEM

There was a big rally at Fruita
Saturday evening. Hundreds of peo-
pie were in attendance. The meet
ing was held in the high school
buildings large assembly room, but
so great was the attendance that
many people were unable to gain ad-
mission. 1t was one of the largest
crowds that ever attended a political
rally in Fruita.
Addresses were made by Judge S..
R. Fitzgerald, democratic nominee for
lieutenant governor of Colorado !;
Senator Ammons of Douglas county,
one of the ablest speakers in the
state; William Weiser, candidate for
representative from Mesa county, and
Prof. j. w. Thompson, candidate for
superintendent of schools. Every ad-
dress was forceful, strong and con-
vincing The crowd, consisting of
more than 400 representative citi-
zens of the lower valley, was very
generous in its applause.
There is no question but what the
meeting did much good for the cause
of democracy and made many votes
for the ticket from among the ranks
of Independent voters.
i A large number of Grand Junction
democrats were in attendance.

TO REMOVE MILDEW.

To remove mildew, rub the article
with soft-soap, completely covering
all the spots. then lay on the grass or
hang up where the hot sun will strike
it. In a few days wash out the soap
and boil it. If you have missed any
spots, repeat the process. This is a

bikes Prove Useless.

The high water of Sunday and Mon
day demonstrated the uselessness of
attempting to control the Touchet with
himsy dikes. The one constructed
last summer was all but washed away,
just a small portion Withstanding the
ravages of the flood. This dixie was con-
structed in the dry season, and was
little more than dust heap. While
the work was no doubt the best that
could be done with the funds at hand,
it seems like throwing good money af-
ter bad The city and county officials
should get together and devise some
means Of permanently controlling the
river at this point.-Waitsburg Ga
