from that body to join in Commercial

Counterfeiters have been circulating
bogus ten dollar bills in Western Slope

TO have been worked off. To those who
are in the habit of handling bills of such
large denomination, we join our broth

Peaches viii Be Plenty.

A tripby NEWSPAPER representatives
through the orchards south, west and
north Of town the fore part of the week
was quite a surprise to them. The crop
of all kinds Of fruit is much larger than
was anticipated. Those who think
peaches will be scarce have another
guess coming. Apples and other fruits
load the trees. Paonia is in the swim
this year when other places are "in the
